    Quarantine Diaries

    Quarantine Diaries

    Hey hey!

    Not much going on but Brandon and Deej hopped on a call to recap life on the inside. This week the guys tout the removal of the facade of the global financial system, working from home, and paying fealty to our Tiger King.

    Hold on to your N95 masks and stay safe people!

    Let’s level set,

    This week Deej tries to talk Brandon off the ledge from joining Antifa as Super Tuesday sends Warren E packing.

    Then, we hoard toilet paper, bleach, and facemaks as the Coronavirus makes its way to the big apple.

    A big shoutout to Molly Young’s piece in Vulture, for reminding us just how terrible corporate speak has gotten. Do you have the bandwidth to read these links?

    Cash out!
    This week we recap all-star weekend and find out what it really means to be a renegade.  For the washed among us it has nothing to do with Jay-Z or Eminem. Then, we dive into the wild world of Bloomberg and his collaboration with Jerry Media (of Fyre Fest fame) to  meme his way to the White House.  Finally, we implore Lil Boosie and those like him to know when it's okay NOT TO TALK.
    Enjoy the links,

    Rocked Nation (ft. Katherine Rosman)

    Nothing like a benevolent dictatorship!



    This week we ponder the great man theory as Brandon and Deej chat with Katherine Rosman from the New York Times about her piece "Jay-Z Takes On The Superbowl".  Our talk begs the question, "Jay Z doesn't check his phone during meetings, is he better than you?"

    Then, the guys take a glance at TV's favorite capitalist nightmare, Undercover Boss, on it's 10th anniversary.

    Oh and just for kicks? Gandhi's assassin is a flashpoint for political strife in India.

    It's a big scary world out there!

    Bernie Eilish (ft. Spencer Kornhaber)

    Welcome To The Party!

    Brandon and Deej try to comprehend these young people and their music as they invite Spencer Kornhaber from The Atlantic to make sense of Billie Eilish winning 4700 Grammys last Sunday. Get ready for White Pop Smoke winning the Album of the year in 2021.

    Then, we take a deep dive into the world of the Bernie Bro ahead of the Iowa Caucuses. Listeners keep a stiff upper lip! Harness the chaotic energy! Build a coalition!

    Don't go too hard in Miami for the Superbowl! Go Chiefs!

    Kobe (Ft. Erika D. Smith)

    24/8

    Brandon and Deej reminisce on Kobe as the embodiment of work ethic, the collective psychic mourning of black men, and cherishing life and loved ones.  They invite Erika D Smith, Assistant Metro Editor at the LA Times, to talk journalism during catastrophe, Kobe's legacy, and LA after Nipsey Hussle and Kobe Bryant's untimely passing.



    R.I.P Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, John, Keri, and Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah and Payton Chester, and Ara Zobayan.

mick austin ,

Keep the links coming!

I thoroughly enjoy the social commentary that Brandon and Deej provide on day-to-day topics from politics to pop culture. It’s not just side-talking though. Brandon and Deej do the research and provide the links to the articles being dissected today. Great job fellas! Keep the links coming!
