Summary

The one where Erin and Jamie discuss episodes 08x17 (TOW The Tea Leaves) and 08x18 (TO In Massapequa). You'll hear a cheery podcast recorded before the election, you'll hear a slightly-less-cheery introduction recorded after the election, and you'll join us in welcoming special guests, Sarah Heyward (@shinyunicorn) and Annie Stamell (@stamos)! Does anyone feel like attempting to ease the pain of the 2016 election by discussing a '90s sitcom? If so, we've got you covered. If not, you're already reading this so you might as well press play. If we don't get floopy, the bad guys win!

In lieu of our standard request to support us on Patreon, we'd ask that you please consider donating to any of the organizations mentioned in the introduction of this week's podcast.

0:00.0	Hey, friendlings, inside America, outside America, you might notice that you aren't hearing a funny
0:05.2	clip from the hit NBC sitcom Friends right now, but you're instead hearing some sort of strange
0:10.3	introduction from me, Jamie Woodham. Along with Aaron Mallory Long, I host the podcast that you,
0:16.1	spoiler alert, are about to listen to. I want to quickly apologize for the tardiness of this week's podcast.
0:22.3	Following the election results, Aaron and I, along with the significant portion of Americans,
0:26.7	were in a weird place, and we needed a little time to reflect on things before we put this
0:31.2	episode up. Before we get into the actual episode, though, I just wanted to say a few quick
0:36.0	things regarding this week's election.
0:41.7	If I sound out of breath right now, that's just because I'm walking home from work at the moment, and if you hear any background noise, that's just the soothing sounds of Hollywood rush hour
0:47.2	traffic, so please bear with me. Also, I told Aaron that I'd probably only speak for like 30
0:53.1	seconds, so please don't tell her that I
0:55.5	ended up speaking markedly longer than that, because I can already tell it's going to be one of those.
1:01.1	If you're pleased with the results of the 2016 election, feel free to skip over this introduction.
1:06.4	Feel free to mute the podcast for a few minutes and flip through an old Navy catalog or something like
1:11.2	that. But if you aren't pleased with the election, I just want to say a few quick things to you.
1:16.7	First of all, your instinct right now might be to disengage from politics. You might feel that you need a
1:22.1	break and deservedly so. But there are a few things that you must resist the urge to take a break from. Most importantly,
1:29.5	I'd implore you to please, please continue making it your top priority to support, to promote,
1:35.5	and to advocate for women, for people of color, for the LGBTQ community, for the Muslim community,
1:42.4	the disabled community, any number of marginalized and
1:45.6	disenfranchised Americans that we all need to ally with and work with for the sake of what this
1:51.0	country is and what it actually stands for. America is a place for all of us, period. There's also a
