- Is this pandemic almost over or not? Some think this is almost over. I hope they are right. I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
- I’ve been SUPER busy!
- Pandemic could be a big ol staycation 
- this podcast can be too revealing
- I’m trying to make these podcasts short, but I have way too much to say right now.
- I always wondered if I’d lay down and die or fight back
- where the heck is my check?
- weird vaccine check from CVS
- what are all the drug dealers doing for money? 
- story of dude messing with my trash can
- story of woman running wigs out and yells “6 feet people”
- people casing my neighborhood
- story of cabinet falling off my wall above the stove

MUSIC:
- the harsh sound of my banjo recordings will eradicate significant numbers of the virus.
- suddenly everyone in the world is a musician on social media now, going live 🤷🏻♂️
- it’s starting to feel like SXSW where Metallica is playing for free right down the street
- Who wouldn’t want to be a musician? A podcaster?
- I am pretty disenchanted with social media right now. Who can keep up with all that at a time like this? So many distractions. We all know social media is just a way to keep your exes jealous and your currents in check!
- everyone support at least one artist through this. Patreon. People only pay for what they get. 
- Patreon is good for musicians at my level who are NOT like Radiohead
- I’ve pretty much decided not to tour this year.

- Play “Everything Alright” green screen video
- I’m gonna give green screen a break
- John helped me mix and master the tracks today.
- With people contributing to Patreon I can afford to hire help, which is what I’ve desperately been needing anyways.

- everyone is super sensitive right now. No time for my bad jokes  
JOKE TIME:
- underwear mask with skid marks
- Joke: - girls posting selfies with their masks on. It’s easy to look sexy with a mask on! Remember that cartoon? girl looks beautiful with mask on then takes it off and has gnarly teeth etc..
- JOKE What did one virus say to the other?

- WHO IS BENEFITTING?
- ask yourself “who is benefiting from all of this?” 

- car loan deferred, but they’re still collecting $1.50/day interest
- spending money unnecessarily is a form of panicking

- THINGS WE CAN DO:
- Some people think it’s almost over OR that there is a cure BUT even if there were a cure, would there be enough to go around? We can’t even get enough toilet paper… We can’t even get enough masks….

- use unbleached paper so we can compost
-You can hand wash cashmere sweaters
- everyone support at least one artist through this. Patreon. People only pay for what they get.
- always be considerate, won’t buy the last item at store because someone else might need it more

- GARDEN:
- no better excuse to grow my hair long and be a hair farmer
- perfect excuse to go car free and be a farmer.
- my cilantro died :( Harry the tomato plant is doing well though
- gardening requires at least 2 hours a day
- store rain water
- did you know you can use pee for fertilizer and poop for compost?
