We couldn’t remember the Season 2 format, so we are back to old classics with crazy hypotheticals, news stories from the week, and a new segment.

Brad asks Jacqui a “would you rather” question which involves a tortured artist and erotic fan fiction. Brad reveals he has read some fan fiction (for research purposes only). Jacqui talks about social distancing restrictions due to COVID-19 and asks Brad with which celebrity he would like to quarantine. The answer involves Canada, controversy, and weed.

Jacqui chooses a Corona Virus related news story about Apple and Google teaming up to work on fighting the pandemic. She and Brad navigate though the technology, health, and privacy implications.

Brad wants to talk about the 5G conspiracy theories flourishing in the COVID-19 infodemic. He takes the fight to those crazies burning 5G cell towers with evidence of why 5G could not possibly have anything to do with the pandemic. A discussion on access to good information and bots follows.

Finally, Jacqui wants to talk about failure. How to think about it, how to use it, and how to beat it. The world is in a place right now that we never expected it could be, and there are a lot of people down and feeling life has stagnated for them. Should we lower our expectations for happiness? Does Michael Jordan have the answer?

It feels great to be back. Get in touch @shootinbreezes on twitter with your thoughts on Brad and Jacqui using the Corona Virus as an excuse to revive their dead podcast, and everything discussed in this episode.
