We’re getting that stagnation feeling, where our brains feel like mush and all we know has expired. We’ve reached week 15 of the COVID-19 disruption and the nauseous adrenaline is wearing us out. What lies ahead, we have no way of knowing, but under our feel baby, grass is growing…. thank the maker for Tom Petty.

It’s been a tense couple of weeks to say the least. In the midst of protests, riots, and domestic political warfare, we celebrated 21 years of marriage with an 8th grade graduation, a steak, and a Beetlejuice rewatch. Like marriage, relationships, trust, and progress: “It takes a second to wreck it/ It takes time to build” The Beastie Boys make track #14 on the Covid-19 mixtape.

This week we discuss racism in our own lives, we reflect on the devastating murder of George Floyd and the tension we are feeling. We are adding the track Out of Time by Blur to the COVID-19 mixtape, because we watched the world spinning from the Space X launch and it couldn’t be more obvious that it’s time to open your mind.

It’s our One Year Team Babe Podcast Anniversary Special! Yep anyway we did this damn thing 53 times! This podcast is our outlet for art, for sanity, and love. We’re celebrating this milestone by adding the classic track by Sonny and Cher to the COVID-19 mixtape. “Put your little hand in mine, There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb…” As long as we can laugh, we will be ok- right?

Babe visited a teledoctor and experienced the VIP feelings of curbside pickup. The other Babe pretended to be Dr. Manhattan sitting on Mars making clocks, we both simultaneously waited for the fog of depression to lift.  We’re passing the time marveling at the lyrical gymnastics Open Mike Eagle lays down on Golden Age Raps, listen for his “special” shoutout to this place we live in.

These babes are getting a little fed up with the conspiracies, I suppose you could call us unbelievers. We also get to the bottom of the meaning of Italian Horn and bathe in the glow of Vampire Weekend, the ultimate yuppy punk band.

Yeah, these babes are 90’s kids, so deal with it. Grunge was built for times like these, and that’s why this week’s track comes from the ultra cool band Garbage. Bonus: we discuss our prison diets and plans for ripped abs.

I’ve seen it all before, in movies of myself…Are ya on Zoom, Facetime, Houseparty, Snap, Stories? Yeah we’ve seen it! Desperation for distraction - something, someone, the thing that’s going to unlock the fun must be just around the corner, right? Track #8 on the COVID-19 playlist is Rufus Wainwright.

No one hears me sing this song (and that might be a good thing). The garage is a place to be a nerd when no one is looking, to make stuff and get away from the people in your house. The art of introverting brought to you by Weezer, #7 on our COVID-19 mixtape.

I guess we must be having fun. Like it or not, home must be the place, because these babes are home all the time. The Talking Heads are up next on this COVID-19 playlist. We celebrate Easter by discussing the mysterious pooka bunny, Donnie Darko, and Wallstreet. So get your jazz hands ready, it’s showtime!
