  • 26: Zoom-Zoom-Zoom Hell No, Couples are Getting On Each Other’s Nerves and Go Run a Marathon–In Your Backyard

    Last Day of the Month! We made it! In this one, I talk about more ‘Rona crap. But not the worst. There’s Stimulus Check info, and maybe we’re starting to see things trend downwards; Zoom is popular, and really good at spying (I have no proof); the NFL is adding more playoff games to get your mind off the case numbers; Celebrity couples fight too, but not usually live on camera; and if you’re up for it, you too can run a marathon during the lockdown–just stay on your own property and don’t get bored.
