    #21 - Not Cleaning up at Restaurants and Cafes

    Today I discuss how we went from Panera weirdly telling us to clean up after ourselves, to mostly accepting it, and now to leaving everything for other people to pick up.

    #20 - People Who Leave Takeout Outside Their Cars

    Today I discuss something that just came of nowhere, and now I’m seeing it everywhere - people leaving their takeout bags outside their cars, and driving away.

    #19 - People Playing Phones in Public

    The podcast is finally back, after a longer than expected break. It’s a new season, Season 4, and now we are focusing on one topic once again. In what hopefully is the last change ever, I discuss the one thing that annoys me the most - people who pay their phones in public. Side note: Now that the podcast is back, I have merged the old podcast on YouTube and the 2021 podcast on Spotify into one show: the Zach Baru Podcast. You can now listen on Spotify and watch on YouTube!

    #18: QR codes

    We’ve made it to episode 15! And we couldn’t do it without you. Okay before this sounds too cheesy, on today’s episode I talk about the tornado in the south, retail theft across the country and the surge in school violence threats. In today’s “Sorry I’m on a Tangent”, I talk about my love for QR code’s. It sounds weird, and you know what, maybe it is. Enjoy!

    #17: Dopesick

    In our first episode since the break, we continue Season 2 with news of the day including the tornado in the south, U.S. COVID deaths reaching 800,000, and in our commentary segment “Sorry I’m on a Tangent”, I rant about my love for the Hulu show Dopesick. This might be the first time my tangent is a positive one, so enjoy that while it lasts.

    #16: Amtrak

    In today’s episode I discuss almost entirely Facebook, so if you don’t like the app, this episode might not be for you. I talk about the worldwide outage, the Facebook testimony in Congress, and the Amtrak DEA shooting tragically leaving one DEA officer dead, and another critically wounded. In today’s tangent I talk about a lesson I learned last night about not assuming bad intentions in people. Oh boy did I mess up here, listen and find out!

    #15: Tipping

    In today’s episode, I begin with what else but Gabby Petito and the sad case of her death. I also discuss unruly passengers in the air and the FAA’s new demand. For today’s tangent, I focus on tipping, how ridiculous the whole concept is that customers basically pay employees’ wages, and employees at restaurants and bars confronting customers over tips. No this isn’t the movie Waiting, it happens in real life too.

    #14:Commercials That Make You Read

    In today’s episode, I unfortunately talk about COVID for 95% of the show, even though it’s the last thing I want to talk about. Topics include Pfizer saying it’s vaccine is safe for 5-11 year olds, COVID surpassing the pandemic of 1918 in deaths, and in today’s “Sorry I’m on a Tangent”, I talk about my disgust with ads that make you read. Enjoy, and spread the word on the ads that make you read. This one hits a nerve with me.
