Episode #6×43: Gift Giving During COVID, Joementum 2021, Being Cordial with Trumpublicans

As we slowly transition away from needing to worry about what the President is tweeting every day, we’ve got a mixed bag of stories for you this week!

  • Our “Greetings from 2020” shirts have begun hitting BAE Patrons’ mailboxes, and they look great! Share a pic of your shirt on social using #Greetingsfrom2020.
  • RIP Trump Voter Fraud hotline, we wished you’d lived to see another day of trolling. ? 
  • Wonder Woman 1984 has Warner Bros. wondering how best to safely release a film that has already seen release delays due to covid.
  • As we approach the holiday season, what to do about gift giving is on our minds. We want everyone to know it’s TOTALLY OKAY to skip the presents this year.
  • Andrew launches a new segment: Tragic Female Singer Contracts Updates™.
  • Netflix is currently testing its new “Direct” feature in France, which would give customers the ability to view Netflix’s library in a traditional, cable channel-like format.
  • We’re retiring Trumpster Fire 2020 and replacing it with JOEMENTUM 2021. Cue triumphant new music soundbed.
  • Contrary to the fantasy going on in Donald Trump’s head, Joe Biden still beat him in both the popular vote and the Electoral College.

  • There’s no common thread between this week’s recommendations, so just humor us: DeleteMe (Andrew), ‘The Crown’ season 4 (Laura), and coffee mug warmers (Pam).
