It's another crazy week in quarantine and the goat boys are bringing you more news! COVID-19 hasn't gone anywhere and neither have we. We really dove into some good topics this week, but we were sadly lacking Lando who came down with a bug earlier in the day. No, it's not COVID, and we're super happy about that. Stephen and Jacob did the best they could to manage the show on their own and they dove into some pretty intense topics, and got a little personal for a bit. Enjoy!

It's pretty much been decided that 2020 sucks and we need a reboot. We propose a perfect solution to this problem. 

Also, there's a lot going on in the world that has nothing to do with COVID-19 and everything to do with grave injustice. We approach that in the best way we know how early in the show, and then we pivot to coverage of the disease. We stand with all of those that are hurting and feel they've gone unheard for many years. We're here. We're listening.
