This week is an embarrassment of riches! The ‘Lympics (Amy’s pronunciation) and “The Big Game” overlap this week, and the ladies are here for it.

This week, explain if we didn’t laugh we’d be sobbing all the time. New segment: What did the government do to radicalize you or activate the resistance this week? Coming to you straight from Minneapolis. Amy’s arch nemesis Bovino got fired by the administration in shame from his job depriving people of their constitutional rights. Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine fame came to town to give a protest concert at First Avenue with secret special guest The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. Amy and Maya didn’t get tickets. Maya explains the bizarre dual worlds they are living in. The Boss wrote a song for Minneapolis celebrating the resistance. P.S. Minneapolis is an impossible word to rhyme and that’s why you don’t hear a lot of songs about this town. Maya drives through an ICE operation, looses hope, then gets a great message from a friend. Local journalist Georgia Fort and national newsmaker Don Lemon are arrested for journalism. First amendment much? Maya has fond middle school memories of Habeas Corpus.

Amy and Maya talk about what’s really happening in Minneapolis and why they think the revolution started here. They recount the long laundry list of trauma, human rights violations, and the callous, murderous ICE occupation of one of the greatest cities on earth. They try to piece together the timeline in detail. Whatever you think is happening here, it’s worse than you can imagine. Their nervous systems are maxed with fear and unending hyper-vigilance. Maya is just trying not to get snatched off the street. They dissect the dissonance between trying to keep moving through life, trying to do their jobs, and keep on keepin on while a dystopian nightmare unfolds around them.

The ladies decide that Jeff Bridges and Kurt Russell are the same guy now, and that they definitely don’t wear seatbelts. Putting Christmas away is depressing. The year of the Horse is here! Apparently, we’ve been in a bad pattern, but it’s really looking up for Taurus this year!

Amy, Maya, and Producer Tyler are all sick. Enjoy!

This episode is a real mixed bag. Amy wins the year’s best dressed at the office, and she’s only worked there for two months. This week brings very sad news for Amy’s family. Which brings us to the story of her trip to New York with a nine-year-old and an eleven-year-old. She really brings the 80s dad energy on this trip. Get ready for a full New York trip rant. Trials she endured on the trip: trying to explain religious reverence to a child, ordering food and drink no one ate or drank (You don’t like tomatoes? You ordered a BLT bitch!), a child getting stuck in a revolving door, a frostbitten toe, canceled flights, and helping her adult son with double pink eye 1000 miles away. Maya learns about Jelly Cats. Finally, thanks to canceled and delayed flights, Amy just barely makes it to a funeral on time, wearing dirty trip clothes.
