The Bucks reflect on\\xa0 2020 TOB highlights and review the segments nominated in the various award categories.\\xa0 The first category is Most Controversial Topic and the segment that dominated all others in the nominations was Loser Lotto. After a massive dropoff in listenership, Del mercifully euthanized it, sparing us further confusion in 2021. \\xa0

The two nominees for Most Surprising Subculture are the Konik ponies [see polishponyfl.com] of central Florida and the Tidycat jug repurposement. The Bucks continue to be astounded by the enthusiasm and resourcefulness of the "Juggers." \\xa0

In the category, Most Obvious Gender Bias, the overwhelming favorite was the failure by the Bucks during the Bright Side of Covid segment to note that women would save time and money on makeup as all you needed to do was paint your eyes. We received countless letters from female listeners on this one, with the most heartfelt letters coming from Judith and Pat.\\xa0

The Grossest Story category nominees are both Del's, understandably. Del Eating Ants was gross, for sure, but the Lanternfly story triggered a multitude of post-apocolyptic nightmares. One listener from Lunenburg is reportedly still hiding under the bed.

The Dumbest Young Buck Stunt has two strong nominees, this time involving Dave's on-the-road adventures. It will be a close vote between Hitchhiking with Criminals and Blowing Up the Plymouth. Dave tried to steer today's young bucks away from both of these exploits.

Del garnered another uncontested nomination for The Strangest Book Review. You had to pay attention or you missed his artful story within a story.

In the Most Empathetic Listener category, the runaway favorite seems to be Claire from Chicago.\\xa0 Her letter practically made us shed our velvet [look it up]. Go, Claire!

Get your votes in. Vote early and vote often as Claire's old mayor used to say. You can even write-in a candidate for any of the categories. Send it to buckstwoold@gmail.com.

Otherwise, Dave finds another way he and Del are similar and the Bucks take a peek at 2021.
