Hello everyone. This is Fausto Furnos, and you are listening to a very special Feast of Fools podcast.

We are sitting here with my lovely partner, Mark Fillion, at the Rotunda in Washington, D.C.,

while the president is going to be making her State of the Union

address.

It's so exciting.

The thing is, there's throbbing, there's people milling about everywhere.

Look, I think I see Nancy Pelosi over there.

The excitement is so thick and rich.

It's like a three-scoop banana split Sunday with whipped, maraschino cherries, and nuts. It's like a three scoop banana split Sunday with wick cream, maraschino

cherries and nuts on top.

Oh, something happening?

Well, no, that's just the cameraman turning on their lights.

Wow.

And people are thinking that the event is going to start soon, but in fact, we're going

to be hearing for the next 30 or 40 minutes inane blather about politics.

The droning, droning. It's the droning on and on and on.

So what do you think we can expect the president to be saying?

I don't know. There's important issues. She's got to bring up very important ones.

I don't know what she's going to touch on. I think there might be some talk about drilling.

There's a lot of discussion about environmentalism.

The environmentalism, the crabs?

A lot of diseases.
