Other bits and bobs include Netflix's Lupin, Captain Marvel, a Quiet Place 2, and a visit to day camp. Come listen! Have a question or comment for the show? Email the show at [email protected] !

The end is in sight for Ryan and Crofton as they exchange vaccine news. Even Ryan's daughter Abby's new infatuation with worms and dead birds couldn't throw them off!

Has it already been two weeks? Or is time just an arbitrary construct that flows together in a messy way and sometimes outputs entertaining podcasts?

Speaking of which, Ryan also runs us through his tech support family party based on Jackbox games. Meanwhile, Crofton continues his journey (rant...

The leaves are changing colour, the temperature is dropping, Halloween is coming, but one thing remains constant: the insane global pandemic.
