Shownotes Transcript

Chris, Jess and Mark talk about what's stressing them out during the coronavirus lockdown. Jess dissects the so-called $2 trillion bailout package and how it's going to decimate small businesses. In addition, secession, while seemingly laughable even half a year ago, doesn't sound so crazy now in light of Jared Kushner's use of "our" during one of the recent, daily White House press conferences. We also have a wry chuckle at how a silly movie like Demolition Man suddenly doesn't seem too silly anymore.
