Quarantine: We Have Learned Absolutely Nothing

What have you learned from being alone with your thoughts for four weeks? If the answer is something you’re not proud of, you’re in good company.

Day 42 of quarantine. It’s day. We don’t know which one.

Team status update: Kerry is still working from suburban eutopia. She probably won’t get her stimulus check. Hunter is checking out people wearing surgical masks at grocery stores. (And getting yelled at for walking the wrong way down the aisles.) And Cush is minus one (probably expensive) piece of technology.

We start the show on a brisk walk with the Doublemint twins. The gang sings along to Elton John’s remote performance of “I’m Still Standing,” but spirals into a heated argument about the keytar. Kerry gets a tongue lashing for lack of social distancing, until Hunter admits some COVID-irresponsible behavior of his own.

Cush loses a drone – and ten pounds! Kerry dumps yet another bro and reveals her secret eye make-up routine. Hunter is lives in fear of noseeums. And we discover that none of us has learned a thing in quarantine. No bros were hurt during this podcast, but your ears might.
