In this experimental bonus episode the Gang of Four attempts to do a shorter version of a podcast episode by recording only the Top of Mind segment as a stand-alone feature. In order to keep the episode shorter and sweeter they try to follow a more orderly protocol when it comes to speaking and not interrupting each other. The results are predictably chaotic.

The Top of John’s mind is occupied by negative thoughts about the Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, which causes him great consternation. Peggy echoes his dim view of the nominee and the process by which she is being hurried through to a vote before the election. Shelly has two different topics on Top: A happy follow-up to her previously expressed concern about some employees she might have to give bad news to and the prospect of a Zoom Happy Hour to commence as soon as the recording is completed. What is foremost on Peg’s mind is her disappointment that the weather has cleared up and no longer matches her insular desire to sit in the dark eating popcorn and watching a movie on Netflix. Jim’s less-than-spontaneous mind features remembrances of quirky events from the 1976 and 2000 presidential elections. See the video on Youtube. And we also learn the definition of “capacious”.
