Episode 12: Law and Voting Problems, Astro Talk and Our Not-So-Recent Movie Reviews

Meet Paris-based journalist Leah Gillis and New Jersey legal eagle Elura Nanos, college friends who talk current events and life girlfriend-style. Join them to hang, learn, and discover what’s going on that matters. Talk with us on Instagram: @aleahthing @elurananos @youguysthepodcast (All times are estimates cuz we need staff. Sponsor us!) ‪1:20 Elura catches Leah up on the ever-evolving shitshow that is being a parent during back-to-school-pandemicmania.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪10:00 When a shattered glass is more than a shattered glass, and how Ghost has stuck with us over the decades. Wherever Patrick Swayze is, we’re sure he’s glad about that.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪12:00 The wisdom of David Blaine and Philippe Petit are helping us get through this difficult time. We’ve also discovered the genius of Kobra Kai and you need to watch it, stat.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪22:00 We update you on the sitch with qualified immunity because did you know we’ve got cops using lethal force to protect animal shelters from folks trying to drop off stray dogs? Yeah so how does someone end up dead from that?! It’s a WTF alert, indeed, and perhaps relevant to *cough cough* defund *cough cough* the police.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪40:00 Time for an election fuckery update and a reminder that postal shenanigans are threatening to destroy our democracy. Like red alert time.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪45:00 It’s probably a bad idea for public officials - Hi Bill Barr and Donald Trump! - to publicly encourage people to break the law. What could go wrong?‬ ‪ ‬ ‪60:00 Grifters, “everywhen,” and how we can thank Covid for creating some good new words even if we’re not sure how to say them.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪65:00 As it turns out, nipples are actually the mother of invention. Also, dick necklaces as birthday gifts, and how language is a window into a culture’s values.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪70:00 We reflect on losing Chadwick Boseman.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪72:00 Bouquets of freshly-sharpened pencils, and somehow, Leah hasn’t seen CastAway. Someone get Tom Hanks on the line.‬ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leah-gillis/support
