This week's episode is a kinda rambly one, but I had fun doing it. I bid farewell to the late, great Fred Willard, talk about Guinness Over the Moon Milk Stout, talk a little bit about the video game Yakuza 0, then dive into movies from Kevin Smith and the Planet of the Apes franchise and end with some music-talk including my take on the new Jason Isbell record! I crammed a lot of stuff into about an hour. Just for you! Enjoy. (Oh, and just a note, I remembered while editing that "I Can't Even Tell" is by Soul Asylum, not the Gin Blossoms. Sorry!)

In this week's episode I have a long chat with my brother Dave about the stuff that's kep him entertained during his COVID-19 Stay-at-Home order. It's a long talk that covers a lot of ground. Don't have a time-index for it this week because it was even more informal than my usual shows, but it's a good talk! Check it out, and visit the companion blog at http://emptychecking.blogspot.com!

We last met on March 1, 2020. A lot has changed since then. Like most people reading this, I've been hunkered down at home, isolating and trying to do my part in flattening the curve of COVID-19. I hope we're all taking this seriously and doing what we can. Above all else I wish you all the best and hope you're well. I'm sure we'll all get through this and good times will come again.m Or not. Either way, we'll talk about pop-culture until there's nothing left to say. And this week's episode covers a lot of ground.
