S6 Ep41: Surviving Election Night, Superfluous Travel During COVID, Netflix Prices Rising

1 hour 8 minutes

The big day is here. Election Day 2020 has commenced - whether you've already voted or are in line to vote, we're glad you're here. If you have any questions or concerns today, please call the Voter Protection Hotline at 866-687-8683 or the Voter Assistance Line at 833-336-8683.

Andrew brings back Laura's Rage of the Week™ to complain about people traveling frivilously and without regard to the pandemic.

In what we hope is one of the final Trumpster Fire segments, David Purdue called off his final debate with Jon Ossoff, the U.S. has surpassed 9 million coronavirus cases, Trump caravans, and the Texas GOP was smacked down when they tried to invalidate 127,000 votes in Harris County.

A Confessional from the generation we think are the greatest: A Gen Zer reaches out for advice on navigating the parental pressures of applying to colleges.

Netflix is raising prices on subscribers in the United States again, prompting us to wonder if Netflix is even our go-to streaming app anymore.

For some escapism this election season, we recommend episode 1 of The Mandalorian, season 2. It's still a delightful, straight-forward, space western narrative, and we love it.

Need something to do other than doomscroll this week? Check out our latest recommendations: Pikmin 3 (Andrew), Nailboo (Laura), and The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. (Pam).
