On Friday's episode of The Daily, our Stella Tan interviewed an African American women that lives outside Atlanta with her 20 and 15 year old Black sons. She lost her job early in the Pandemic and received a couple of eviction notices in the months forthcoming. Her rent was about $1300. I did feel bad for her bc she applied for Unemployment in May and by October it still hadnt been previewed.
Anyway the host Stella Tan was giving her compassionate awws the whole time. Its something journalists are taught. I wonder how Yolanda (I think that was her name) would feel if she did a little research on Ms Tan.
A privileged Asian-American from San Francisco that got her undergrad at Columbia, and then a Masters in London. She is a 30 year old podcast producer living in Brooklyn in a a house that is worth between $950 and 1.2M depending on what site you look at. Sickening this country. Did I mention her title is Producer for a podcast? Whats that really pay, 10K a year? lol.
Anyone ever listen to Are You Garbage? I had heard good things but never got around to it. Finally checked out an ep today cause my guy Joe List was on it. Pretty enjoyable listen, I’ll def check out more. A quick scroll indicates they’ve done a bunch of comics I like, so I’m sure I’d enjoy hearing them answer questions about whether or not they are garbage people.
At one point in this episode, they were discussing desserts and List said he was always a chocolate chip ice cream guy. Both of the hosts reacted as if he was speaking a different language. He (and I) obviously thought they were fucking with him, but I believe these two adult American men had genuinely never heard of chocolate chip ice cream. It sure was something.

That's Joe Biden's favorite too! He's so relatable.
I've been listening to The throwback podcast. It's couple of guys in their late 30s who have known each other since middle school and re-listen to albums from the 90s and early 2000s in the one guy's garage. It's been on since 2017, I started at the beginning and I'm about a dozen episodes in. The albums they review are pretty much spot on to the music I listened to in that time and the two guys are generally pretty hilarious. I'm enjoying it.
