We are pretty fired up this week. A power outage disrupted our routine, but not as much as TikTok is surely going to in the future. Eric and Kerouac are tackling the president's tweets, viral political ads, baseball, hurricanes and more in yet another newfangled episode. Plus, we read a review from a listener and another from Eric's mom.

While politicians continue to show a lack of urgency about a new relief bill, we wonder why they took a three-day weekend. Plus, Taylor Swift drops a surprise album, the WNBA unveils its social justice initiative and Eric and Kerouac enjoy some '70s classics.

At least we have something to look forward to in a couple years, when making movies is a thing again.

On this episode, we ask why there's a push to open schools instead of a push for a more robust virtual solution for everyone. Plus, we delve into the misleading optics on some of the government's relief options. And speaking of bad optics, we dive into the Lady Antebellum fiasco.
