Trying to fix Kyle's levels, Kyle and Emmanuel blow off some steam, losing track of how many days have gone by, a storm knocked out power in the area yesterday, how people can save lives by staying inside, trying to get away from politics, a great New Yorker quote, hopes that the Democrats won't screw this election up, debate in various circles over when things should reopen, the continued idiocy of Rand Paul, how Lee Zeldin's relationship with Trump is the only reason supplies were sent to the area, why this is wrong, how Republicans in Wisconsin forced people to risk their health and vote in person, how supreme courts have become politicized, evidence of how disconnected the business world is from reality, finding common ground and rejecting political ideology, Boris Johnson's effusive praise of the NHS upon his release from the hospital, a review of "The French Connection" from 1971, some Popeye trivia, the unique soundtrack of the film, remembering what really old phone company vans used to look like, other memories stirred by the footage in the film, how a real traffic jam was created for the film, how WUSB is really coming through during this crisis, Emmanuel's struggle to find out his blood type. There is a slight echo throughout the show.

How the remote shows are actually easier to put together than those that took place in the studio, Kyle upgrades the sound quality, memories of a CBS satellite truck that got stuck in the mud while visiting Emmanuel for an interview, the highly relevant programming that's been broadcast over WUSB, there is also an amount of disinformation that makes it onto the air, the lack of bots on the radio station unlike social media, how Instagram forbids 2600 from having an account with their own name, how most outlets are all about ads, a reminder that we're all in this crisis together, a growing number of people who are trying to turn this into a political issue, the idiocy of not following the health guidelines, there are now over 40,000 people who have died in the United States, the dangerous advice that Trump is giving out, word that Georgia will be reopening even earlier than Trump's suggestion, how Brian Kemp looks so corrupt, victims are already surfacing from unsafe church services in Louisiana, asking people to suggest what Kyle should cook next, more thoughts on anti-quarantine demonstrators, the fund to help save small businesses has been depleted, how large companies grabbed much of the money, another unfair mortgage policy for people who have lost their income, a review of "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" from 1972, the farcical theme of the film, thinking about how good things will feel when this is over, pleading with people to continue following the guidelines.
