... about something that doesn't involve a waste treatment plant!
So the outcome of the 2020 presidential election is the subject of this episode, taking up nearly the entire running time. John said that normally receiving 20 simultaneous texts from family and friends on Saturday saying "It's over" would alert him to the onset of the apocalypse, but in this case he knew what had happened - the race had been called for Biden.
In a previous episode John had pretty much predicted what would happen - early results, which would mainly be "same day" votes, would favor Trump, and then the mailed ballots would be counted which would probably favor Biden. And all of that counting took four days to obtain a result with ballots still being counted. Alaska has been glacially slow, but nobody seems to care.
At any rate, "angry John" seems to be gone, and we get more fun stuff than we have gotten since the pandemic began. We get a picture of a racoon inside a racoon shaped cookie jar, and John shows the Biden victory street celebrations in DC - only 30 seconds of it - while he talks about interesting octopus facts. But most interesting, John showed a screenshot of his phone and I finally get to see that his phone background is a hamster in a speedo doing weight lifting. I honestly was not surprised.
