Summary
No book for this month's bonus episode, gang, and we're also releasing it at the same time for both patrons and everyone else in the interest of being timely.
We were both deeply saddened by the results of last week's United States presidential election, and we've spent most of the last week dissecting our feelings about it and trying to figure out where we go from here. In this episode, we provide some context for our international listeners, attempt to commiserate with those who agree with us and reach out to those who don't, and lay out a path for getting more involved if that's something you want to do.
Thanks for listening, everyone. Your support means the world to us.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to the opening bumper of this episode that Andrew asked me to help with. |
| 0:05.4 | Thank you, Craig, for helping with this opening. |
| 0:08.0 | You're welcome. This is not going to be a normal episode of the show. We are not going to talk |
| 0:13.7 | about a book. We asked informally, you have to say that for the record, if folks would listen to |
| 0:19.6 | an election feelings podcast, we've had a bunch of them. And since you are all awesome people, |
| 0:26.0 | just like being able to talk to each other, knowing that you're out listening is very selfishly |
| 0:32.8 | therapeutic for us. But we also like know that some of you might be therapeutic for you. |
| 0:37.0 | If it is not, do not listen. We will not be offended if you just want to hear a book, |
| 0:42.1 | go listen to an old episode of the show, skip us for this bonus episode. |
| 0:46.5 | Yeah, that's why we're like, coordinating it off. Because most people were like, yeah, |
| 0:50.4 | cool, do an election episode because I need like, I need to know someone else's here with me. |
| 0:55.0 | And then some of you were like, no, I can't. I need somewhere that people aren't having |
| 0:59.8 | election feelings. So yeah, we respect that. If you do have those feelings, like delete the show |
| 1:06.8 | and don't listen and we're not going to, we're not going to feel bad about it. But |
| 1:11.7 | but we also feel like it would probably be irresponsible of us to not use the show that we've |
| 1:17.4 | built to at least kind of say what we're thinking about some of this stuff. Exactly. |
| 1:21.8 | Welcome aboard. You signed up. Oh, and also, also there will be cussing. |
| 1:27.3 | Oh, yeah, cussing. Bumper out. |
| 1:52.4 | When did we start calling the bumpers? I don't know. You just started calling the bumpers. |
| 2:00.4 | I don't know. Can't be held responsible for the stuff I say. No, and we're going to |
| 2:08.8 | put where either anyone post-fact America now, Craig. I don't need to remember what I said when |
