Hello and I'm Aaron Ryan. This week, Alissa Master Monaco and I look ahead to 2020 and how we're going

to keep ourselves in fighting shape for the most important election of our lifetimes.

Then Tian Tran, Kirund Deal, and Prianka Arabindi join me in studio to look back on 2019.

From what we love to watch on TV to what we read and speaking of reading.

We've also got an interview with author Julia Phillips.

Then instead of Hill's we're going to talk about all the ways women stood up to

President Trump this year. You love to see it.

Hey are you guys ready for 2020 you might think that it's going to be a bad year, what with the 11 months of escalating,

shouting, culminating in the loudest election in our lifetimes, but I actually think it will be good.

For example, 2020 is perfect for those New Year's Eve glasses,

which means the year won't start off with people trying to figure out a way to make eye holes

in the number one, which was a disaster for 10 years.

So for more on how we're getting ready for a very important year, I'm going to call my friend,

former White House Deputy Chief of Operations under President Barack Obama and the

Deneris Targarian of Grouchy-looking cats,

Alyssa Master Monaco.

Hey, Alyssa.

Hello, Aaron.

What was that accent?

Was that an accent?

It sounded like Liverpool.

That accent is sinusitis.
