    1 hr 14 min
  • Ep. 11 - What a Bummer
    On today’s show, we start off with a discussion of Jon’s weekend trip to Maine under somewhat loosened restrictions from what he’s used to. Then we ponder the degree to which wearing of masks could have symbolic meaning to individuals seeking to make a statement of convalescence to (or opposition of) authority. Conrad has been doing a lot of reflecting on life lately and this becomes apparent in the last segment, which takes the show to a bit of a dark place.

  • Ep. 7 - This Is So Obnoxious
    We are having frustration on this episode. Both at being locked down for what seems to be a never ending crisis and at the technical difficulties we experienced recording remotely. We talk at great length about how we are weathering our individual situations and debate the merits of the government’s response to the pending economic meltdown.
