Hey everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Munkerick podcast.

I'm Jerry D. Sexton. I'm opening a beer and I want to tell everybody most of the time, this is performative. It's a bit. It's a way to open the thing. Welcome in the weekend.

Today, January 6th, the one year anniversary of the attempted coup. It is necessary.

I've been pissed off by the whole thing all day.

How are you, Nick?

You know, I've been pretty good, you know, reflecting about where I was a year ago now.

But, you know, I keep myself busy.

What's the thing?

Idle hands, something other about the devil

I don't know but that's how I am today yeah you know it's actually funny you say that

where we were a year ago I remember us doing like the emergency podcast to talk about this thing

we of course had our patrons to come and and sort of share in the moment of that.

A reminder for anybody I listened to the preview, go over to patreon.com slash monkreg

podcast. You can be involved in that stuff too. I just remember, you know, and we'll get,

we'll get into the anniversary stuff today, but I just remember being not just pissed off, but just being like, here it is.

Most of us who paid attention to this knew that this was coming, that this was a possibility.

And in a way, that's a little bit how I feel again today because America continues not to learn its lessons.

It continues not to look at itself in the mirror.

Think about things, put things into context.

And as a result, we're almost damned to repeat it again unless we can figure this shit out.

Oh, I think I was afraid.

I remember being literally scared on that day.
