We're back. We do a fun gimmick that has been done before on sports radio a million but we're doing it now so whatever. It's a draft. We pick our quarantine house from six different categories. What are the categories? You'll have to listen to find out. I think it's within the first two or three minutes so you don't have to listen to the full thing. Take a listen, check us out. Love you. Peace.

We talk about the virus again. It's depressing. We have a new segment called last words. I think the title's pretty clever. I want to make like a cool stinger for it. We also chat about what it is like interviewing and job hunting in the time of Corona. Not great. Also, we have a chat about what the world will be like after this. The answer will not surprise you. It's gonna suck!

This is another episode. We're doing them more now. As some factories prep for the production of ventilators, so too does our factory prep, but for podcasts! We talk about some horrific news stories coming out of the world. What's going on? Can 2020 be over? Someone better unplug 2020 and plug it back in. Turns out Idiocracy was actually a documentary maybe? hahaha. lol jk though. We talk about some stories, have some fun at the expense of the God-fearing among us, and talk Spongebob baby. Tune in, drop out. Love the show peace and bless up.

We're back. Vivek is recording from his New Jersey bunker. I am recording from a recently conquered military checkpoint. We are both alive and well and hope you are too. This is the first episode in what we hope to be a series of shorter episodes uploaded with more frequency. This is a general chat about Corona, but soon, very soon, we will be tackling news stories and doing the thing where we talk about jobs or whatever. #draftmarbury

Comedian, writer, and actor Rajiv Satyal joins us in the studio which this week means Vivek's apartment. We talk about Rajiv's work history, transitioning from brand managing to comedy, and Fiji water. There's a lot of great tips in here, including one that I am using myself. Try to guess which of Rajiv's tips I'm using and email us at [email protected] for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid vacation to Universal Orlando Resorts.

Well, I got laid off. It sucks and I talk about it. We offer a couple of political takes. They are lukewarm. This was recorded over Discord and it kinda sucked s***. I edited it as much as I could but there may be some parts when you're like, "What???" So just be warned. We also talk about Bill Simmons THE $200 Million Dollar Man. A little Dave Portnoy too.

 

Here's the link to the NYT article about Yang

Musk's song is inserted in there I'm not linking it. 

Here's my commercial review

Go to Tolkein White Guy every second and fourth Thursday of the month.

We're back. We go through a New York Times article telling us 8 ways to work smarter in 2020. Are the way actually that smart? Listen to find out. Or you could read the article, but reading was left behind in 2019. 2020 is the year of the cast. Also, Vivek gives a really good tip about job interviews and he's a guru now. 

Also, 2020 is a new year which means we're back lurking on Reddit for bad job posts. 

NYT Article

Midroll Song: Japanese Breakfast, Everybody Wants To Love You

Outro Song: Pinkshinyultrablast, Holy Forest

We start a rap beef with CEO of The Ringer Bill Simmons's nephew. We also talk about a former Info Wars employee who wrote a piece in the New York Times about working at Info Wars. Is it Info Wars or Infowars? I don't know and also do not care. I'm tired and do not want to be writing this description. But I have to because podcasting is my passion and I want to learn more about the industry. 

 

Also, Vivek a harrowing tale about an ambulance ride and the Sopranos character who tried to make sure it didn't happen. 

 

Here's the article about Infowars (I found out this is the way to spell it): https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/magazine/alex-jones-infowars.html

We recorded remotely as Vivek is hunting Sasquatch, but he found a couple of minutes to do this episode. We talk about Christmas parties, M4A, and the new dumb Tesla truck.

We have a guest again. Also, it's in my apartment this time and Vivek had to swim across the river cause the trains were down.

 

Giri Nathan is in the kitchen, which is my version of Marc Maron's garage but it smells better than that. He walks us through the recent goings-on at Deadspin, and by that, I mean how the company was gutted by a guy who looks like he'd be the villain in a frat movie. He walks us through his time there, what went wrong, and some general stuff about journalism, digital media, tech, and all that other nerd shit. We also talk b-ball and tennis which was cool.
