925cast

I'm using a fresh, simpler Podbean to upload this episode. We're back again after a long time. We just do this whenever now. We talk about a corporate comedy thing we did and got paid for. Then we talk about more corporate comedy. Then we talk about NYC is dead... Or is it?

Back again I know everyone was wondering about it. It of course being the show. We talk about Quibi again and how this stuff sucks actually. Kanye runs for president and we sort of talk about it but chalk it up to being a dumb stunt. And also we give our picks for worst spots in NYC which is old now but whatever.

We chat with the presidential candidate, Howie Hawkins. We talk about Corona, Joe Biden, the Green New Deal, and socializing/breaking up big tech.

 

Check out Howie's platform summary here.

We talk about the ongoing protests. Also, we delve into the current media climate and expose our schadenfreude of people getting canceled. Even though those people did deserve, you still love to see it. Then we do something that we never do on this podcast and talk about comedy, specifically the difference between alt-comics and club comics and the shitty underbelly of both worlds. 

 

Donate to a bail fund.

We talk about the protests in response to the murder of George Floyd. See below for some places to donate:

Reclaim The Block

Brooklyn Bail Fund (make sure to check if they are still receiving donations)

We talk about Elon Musk reopening his factory and also having an insanely named child. Then we delve into the Twitter work from home proclamation made by Jack Dorsey. We end by talking about The Last Dance and perhaps the most toxic workplace ever, the 90s Bulls.

We talk about Nancy Pelosi's fridge. We also talk about how doctors in Russia are falling out of windows. And we end on a classic bad job post. We love it, folks.

We have a guest again. It's Melvin Taylor II. He's a radio broadcaster, actor, writer, he does it all. He recently was featured (lol featured as though it was about a good thing) in the New York Times article about unemployment. We talk about his experience trying to access his unemployment benefits during Corona. We also talk about other stuff too.

Keeping in line with our new Tired Podcast Formats Series, we dive into the best films and TV shows to watch to keep you occupied during the plague years. We each give out four picks. Sort of like a Mount Rushmore. That's something we came up with independently. Lol just kidding.

We talk relationship advice for the quarantine. Both of us have girlfriends. Vivek is doing long distance. My girlfriend and I are at each other's throats. We discuss how to get along with your SO while locked down for eternity.
