This was meant to be a corona-free space - which is surprisingly difficult! 

Jarrett and Ashley get up-to-date on how they're feeling during social distancing which naturally turns into a discussion about food - peanut butter is the star of this show!

Ashley is frustrated by the "quirky" fandom that has popped up around Kim Yo Jong. Finally, after watching the Canada Together broadcast, Jarrett and Ashley discuss the most Canadian Canadians.
