Sadly, all appears over for Nikolai and David “Dave.”
Or is it?
In this episode, watch the gripping conclusion to the web series that defined a generation and made David “Dave” persona non grata at national parks by order of the U.S. Secretary of Park Rangers.
Will Nikolai and David “Dave” somehow manage to mend fences? Will Brian E. ever be able to forgive his son? Will Nikolai get to hug a man in a fur coat?
All these questions and more will be answered in this final USofAnderson episode … the final episode of this trip, at least.
Thank you for joining this journey. We’ll see you on down the interstate. And don’t forget to pack a foreign exchange student.

Sonny and Cher, Brad and Jennifer, and now Nikolai and David “Dave.” Curtains.
In this episode, watch as the dynamic road-tripping duo Nikolai and David “Dave” walk away from their friendship forever. And if that’s not bad enough, you’ll witness Redemption Party candidate Brian E. Anderson bring his historic mayoral candidacy to a halt.
Every good breakup should have a solid montage and tug-at-the-heart-strings song. To this end, enjoy beautiful images of Minneapolis set to Jason Schwartzman’s hit song “West Coast” as David “Dave” and Nikolai search for their identities without each other.
It’s an episode bound to smear your mascara.

As we learned in the last episode, Nikolai had stolen the private letters between David “Dave” and his father, Minneapolis mayoral candidate Brian E. Anderson.
In this episode, discover exactly how Nikolai crafted his video art with the pinched correspondence. You’ll even witness a few clips of this defaming video art.
It’s hard to believe how damaging video art can be to an American family—talk about a weapon of mass destruction.

For the past twenty-seven episodes, Nikolai has come across as an unwavering and angelic friend. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s all a lie.
Nikolai is really just another fallen foreign exchange student looking to jack whatever he can from America and smuggle it back to the homeland. And, as you’ll see in this episode, it was early on in this trip that Nikolai lifted something from right under David “Dave’s” nose. Of course Nikolai’s nefarious ways didn’t stop there. He proceeded to take this item and make … wait for it … video art!
Yup, Nikolai is nothing but a two-bit rogue video artist wreaking havoc on America and poor ole David “Dave.” Who would have ever imagined this trip turning so butt ugly?

Nikolai came on this road trip not only to see America but to also meet with his mentor, the Great Sangi.
If you’re not familiar, Sangi was Russia’s version of Andy Warhol in the late 1960s. His politically charged work, “Man Make Fish Inspection of Gorbachev Tuna,” is still hailed today as one of the most influential works of art in the downfall of Communism. Now a resident of the United States, Sangi currently works as the artist-in-resident at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis.
In this episode, watch as Nikolai meets up with his mentor at the Swedish Institute, shares his latest work, and receives valuable criticism. Although rarely photographed, Sangi invites USofAnderson’s cameras into his home for a rare glimpse into the life and mind of one of the world’s most gifted video artists.

R.T. Rybak may be the beloved third-term mayor of Minneapolis, but he’s never before faced a force like the Redemption Party.
In this episode, watch as Redemption Party Mayoral Candidate Brian E. Anderson confronts Mayor Rybak on the issues that matter most to the citizens of Minneapolis: Smokers rights and political parties with cool mascots.

As Brian E. always says: Redemption you can believe in. Redemption first!
*by “winning,” we mean he was one of the first thousand to cross the finish line.

At long last we’ve arrived in Minneapolis, David “Dave’s” hometown!
In this episode Nikolai takes to editing his footage from the trip, while David “Dave” joins his father’s campaign for mayor of Minneapolis. With the endorsement of the Redemption Party of America, Brian E. has assembled a cracker-jack team of political strategists which includes and is limited to, Kendra, his teenage stepdaughter and David “Dave.”
As you’ll see, it’s not the size of a politician’s staff that makes the politician, it’s the politician.
Watch out Mayor RT Rybak, incumbent mayor of Minneapolis, Brian E. is seeking some REDEMPTION!
