Emmanuel is still recovering from the disappointment of last week, it's the last show of 2020, the possibility of COVID-20, what Bernie Sanders is up to, how Republicans seem to always have the upper hand despite being in the minority, why the Senate is an outdated institution, how the founding fathers couldn't have anticipated everything, the unfairness of the Electoral College, the racist overtones here, the positive and progressive changes that have taken place despite Trump being in charge, how Mitch McConnell is holding up $2000 checks for citizens, why next Tuesday's election in Georgia is so vital to what's happening in the Senate, the hypocrisy of not helping individual people while giving money away to the military and millionaires, two Democrats who voted against a key Democratic bill, a farewell to Rep. Dan Lipinski, wondering how he was ever defined as a Democrat, a review of "Rainman" from 1988, the authentic way that an autistic character was portrayed, why Emmanuel liked this film even though Tom Cruise was in it, some scenes that could have gone in different ways, the realistic ending, a review of "Pelle the Conqueror" from 1988, why so many kids in Denmark have that name, how the ending was unsatisfactory, trying to establish communications with Finn in the studio, confusion over how to transmit Finn's audio, Finn gives an update on how he's been over the past few months, how Kyle and Emmanuel miss the station, what it's like at the station these days, how masks have made all the difference, why having leaders who question this has made things so much harder, final wishes for the year.
