It's been a wild week for both Jacob and I personally, not to mention Lando, who had to sit out another episode due to some other obligations he had. We really hammered into schools and sports on this episode. How bad is sending kids to school? Should we even bother with sports? Football or RIOT!

It's pretty much been decided that 2020 sucks and we need a reboot. We propose a perfect solution to this problem. Also, there's a lot going on in the world that has nothing to do with COVID-19 and everything to do with grave injustice. We approach that in the best way we know how early in the show, and then we pivot to coverage of the disease. We stand with all of those that are hurting and feel they've gone unheard for many years.
