In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it.

SaysWhovia, Dan needs a hug. Maureen, however, is fine and has the receipts to prove it. Everything is very normal and very cool with her. Also, with Trump, who is on the roof of the White House for very normal reasons. Also, we’re going to build a nuclear reactor on the moon! Which is like the roof of the earth, if you think about it long enough. …

Maureen is back from the green, green fields of England and has brought a whole new outlook! She saw a cow. Everything is better now.

He wants to talk to Maureen a…

Trump and Elon are fighting again, and we finally ma…

It sure is hot out there, SaysWhovia. Especially in NYC, where Maureen has been out voting. Dan has thoughts on this, because he always has thoughts on New York and the mayor situation.

SaysWhovia! Maureen is off to become a lobbiest (no really) and Dan is back in Chicago—home of The Pope, did you hear—and Bruce Springsteen is on tour out of the country where apparently he might want to stay because Donald Trump is Super Big Mad about things he said, which is a normal thing that happens. In fact, lots of normal things are happenin…

We don’t know what the Day of Liberation holds for the economy, but obviously it’s going to be great. Right now, Cory Booker is still talking, health services are shutting down, and it’s maybe too much to take in in one bite. Small bites, SaysWhovia. Share the load. Work in shifts. Take a walk. Come to Maureen’s for dinner. She can stretch a lentil…

Whoooo, there is a lot going on. It’s not great! Maureen got distracted and put her phone in the wash. She is maybe not okay. Also, she has fallen in love with a puppet. Dan swings in with the news, which isn’t all bad. There are a lot of Teslas on fire! But also, there is a lot of bad. But don’t worry. Something truly magical happens near the end …
