Ep 73. Capitalism-This Sh*t Aint Sustainable Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

It’s day 11 of social distancing/ the quarantine and we begin to investigate the harder questions of life: Is Shanti really in love with Regina and Zoe Kravitz? Is she really a lesbian? How exactly did Dnice DJ for 8 hours straight? What’s up with the name Whoopi Goldberg? And most importantly why is this sh*t not sustainable? Is capitalism to blame? What do we want to do once we are out of this COVID-19 tunnel? Who will we choose to be?
