3.) Losing It
People are getting tired of lockdown, a guy brought a rocket launcher into a sandwich shop, we're losing our rights, and I saw a horrible commercial! Also some musings about climate change. Huzzah!

2.) No Going Back
"Back to normal" might not be a thing anymore, and that has to be okay. Also, bring back the word bossy. And snitches are getting exposed! What a time to be alive!

1.) Starting Over
The podcast is starting over! If you're listening here, everything is the same. But now there's a video component on YouTube! We talk about all the ways society is going to start over when this is over. Also, some information about bleach!

25.) Who Goes First?
Made in America is the way to go! Also, when all of this ends, who gets to go back to work first? Also, I learn my political leanings.

24.) A Little Bit Wrong
This was a doozy! We started talking about checking oil, went through an impromptu history of the United States, and of course had to talk about the pandemic. Much fun was had.

23.) Dampanic
Wow! The world is ending, except it's not. But if it is, you definitely want to make it to the end. Also, we're all financially screwed, but I'm pretending I'm not because the truth makes me sad.

22.) Exclusive Sexism
The past couple weeks in politics tells me that identity politics isn't real, even to the people that believe in it. Also, coronavirus is stressful and shows us our dumbest selves. Also, don't f*** with cats.

21.) Prescription Rights
I read a tweet by a governor, and now I understand why people say what they do about California. Also, white people need to stand up for themselves sometimes.

20.) Flimsy Fragility
Oh boy! That was a doozy! We talk about doomsday prepping and how to get out of New York when it goes down. Then we touch on Valentine's Day and the election before giving up and taking quizzes!

19.) Major Party Foul
People are getting outraged over stuff that's not worth getting outraged over, politics are a mess, and people are making money by selling pictures of their feet. This is a doozy, but let's begin!

18.) Parental Empathy
I had some run ins with terrible parents in locker rooms, this whole impeachment thing feels like a giant performance, the coronavirus is getting too close to me, and cancel culture is still here. What a time to be alive!

17.) Going With My Gut
This one started out fun and self-deprecating, then it turned a little whimsical, then very suddenly descended into cynicism and weirdness. Sorry about that.

16.) Guilty Enough
Thanksgiving, familial obligations, impending impeachment, and a SEAL officer may or may not be guilty of war crimes. Also, Boeing did nothing wrong don't @ me.

15.) TikTok for Foreign Policy
I learned that Palestinians are Arab and Muslim. Dictators have more or less perfected genocide. At the end we find out if I'm a VSCO Girl or a Sk8r grl.

13.) The Ethnic Table
I have great skin, my phone's battery sucks now, and people with difficult names are offended by nicknames but don't say anything about it. Also, I'm smarter than high school kids.

11.) Dude, Where's My Foliage?
Life is hard, New York trees don't change colors, single issue voting is more honest, and Hong Kong is screwed. Let's discuss.

8.) I Doubt Hippies Aged Well
Kinda went off on hippies and hipsters for the first half. Then talked about drugs, statues, and San Francisco for the rest. Drank the whole time. It was fun!

7.) Manson Was A Wuss
I saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and it was fantastic. After addressing everything about that, we complain about the relationship between drivers and cyclists and don't get to any solutions.

I answered questions off of this thing to bring people closer together that my mom sent me. And now that it's out there, we're married! Here's the link: https://ggia.berkeley.edu/practice/36_questions_for_increasing_closeness

5.) Laundered Privilege
Only one liver was harmed in the making of this episode. And the Army *allegedly* flooded a town two years ago without evacuating any residents and we all conveniently didn't notice.

Today's episode covers everything from yachting to pedophilia. Depending who you're talking about, that could end up being a very narrow range. Let's talk...

New York is fine, branded credit cards are dumb, and a gun store sees some politicians as an existential threat.
