Today we talk about:
- Nothing worthy of an "Explicit" tag, but there are a couple of jokes that may be considered ribald, so use discretion around the kids (as Ira Glass might say, we acknowledge the existence of sex shops)
- We Start a Business
- Comedy and Zoom
- And a lost comrade in the pun community (see more below)

And on a somber note, in this podcast we talk about the illness of a fellow punner, Brian Agler. Since the day this episode was recorded, Brian Passed away. Per Julia and Andy Balinsky, Brian was in the winner’s circle both years he competed at the O. Henry Pun-Off.
