No explicit tags, but FYI, there's a dirty word at the end of the podcast that you can barely hear, and it's me mis-hearing the word "sitting."

Today we talk about:

Nothing worthy of an "Explicit" tag, but there are a couple of jokes that may be considered ribald, so use discretion around the kids (as Ira Glass might say, we acknowledge the existence of sex shops)
We Start a Business
Comedy and Zoom
And a lost comrade in the pun community (see more below)

And on a somber note, in this podcast we talk about the illness of a fellow punner, Brian Agler. Since the day this episode was recorded, Brian Passed away. Per Julia and Andy Balinsky, Brian was in the winner’s circle both years he competed at the O. Henry Pun-Off.

Here is a brief bio of him from a website of a political writing collective that he is a member of.
He is the co-author of a 141-issue weekly Humorous Writing newsletter
He has written humor columns for the New Yorker, Esquire, and McSweeny's
He has been a co-host of a series called the "Evening of Humorous Readings"
Here is the video of him in the semifinals in 2015 going against eventual champion Ben Ziek on Coverings & Coatings:
