Campbell and Cohen's Kooky Quarantine Seamus Campbell and Ben Cohen

Seamus and Ben are joined by Friend of the Pod Rob Drumm to reflect on the two decades since 9/11. The trio go into the the political, media, social responses, their memories of the day, and how it would play now. Things worth checking out, mentioned by Rob: Boatlift from 2011 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18lsxFcDrjo ) and Vice news from April 2021 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyS-tYoOj6g ).

Seamus and Ben are back from the YDA Convention in Cincinnati and spoiler alert: Seamus has COVID-19. Worse off, Ben and Seamus do not have their Friday night Dungeons and Dragons game to play. So, what is there to do? Spend an hour riffing off each other, of course!

Twigger warning/content warning: Thus episode discusses topics of sexual harassment and assault. Ben, Seamus, and friend of the pod, Jovan C. Richards, discuss what is happening in New York with its governor and how impeachment works in the Empire State. If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual harassment, there are resources availible including Workplaces Respond to Domestic and Sexual Violence: A National Resource Center ( https://www.workplacesrespond.org/resource-library/ ) and RAINN ( http://www.rainn.org/about-national-sexual-assault-telephone-hotline ).

Is the new Space Jam a look another allegory for labor organizing or just a way for Warner Brothers to tell off Disney? Are the College Republicans about to completely implode due to corruption or did a bunch of state federations just fail Politics 101? And how did Seamus' grandfather help Jesse Owens win 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics? Will Seamus ever eat Pineapple Pizza? (Spoiler to that last one: yes, if you donate at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/nysydpiethepresident?refcode=revengeonseamus .) All of that and more are answered with special guest (and Friend of the Pod), YDA Womens Caucus Chair Becky Beaver.

In a podcast first, Ben and Seamus record together in person. Discussion includes Rudy Guiliani losing his law license, the tide pod challenge, Kenan and Kel, and a plan to visit the Home Alone house.

Seamus and Ben, in the 1-year anniversary celebration of the first episode of the pod are joined by previous guests: YDA CoRD Chair, Midwest Region Director, and YDA Labor Caucus Chair Hannah Wroblewski; Young Democrats of Wisconsin President and YDA Association of Charted Unit Presidents Chair Charles Myers; YDA Womens Caucus Chair Becky Beaver; YDA Legislation Committee Chair and LGBTQIA+ Caucus Chair Sam Bauman; Scott Urbanowski; and Kady Curtis. And, making his debut on the podcast, coming all the way from Upstate New York, is YDA Northeast Region Director and New York State Young Democrats President Jovan Richards. The gang discusses what has happened to them over the last year, getting Fauci Ouchies, Tiger King (because natch), reuiniting in Montana and/or Chicago, and how the only real pizza out there is New York style (get @ us Chicago with your your dumb casserole).
