Part 1 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we discuss quarantine life.
Show notes:
Recorded last week via Skype
Homeschooling is hard work
A month in, the hoarding continues
Brian's second-grader has a lot of schoolwork
Brian was down in Florida to spend a few days at spring training
Had planned to visit family in Arizona in March, but decided not to
Virus moved quickly
Brian saw Jonathan Richman concert in March
Jay: Was supposed to fly to California for a conference in March, but it was canceled
Had tickets to Archers of Loaf concert in mid-March that was canceled
Jay: Working from home full-time
Brian: Trying to find non-screen activities for the kids
We're spending a lot of time with our families, which isn't a bad thing
We've never had a situation like this where everything is shut down
A lot of people are out of work or unable to work right now
No sports to watch during one of the best times of year for sports
Sports may come back without crowds in attendance
When will things go back to normal?
Kids' school sports, activities are on hold
Touring musicians are losing a ton of money
South Korea was able to shut everything down and come out on the other end
One person can do a lot of damage
Spring break idiots
Adam Schlesinger, R.I.P. (this was recorded before he died)
Washing our hands more than ever before
Missing out on draft beer
We're lucky to be able to work from home
How will the economy bounce back?
