The DIU Pod gang returned after a week off in what seemed to be the most depressing hiatus known to podcast history. Jack calls in on Skype again as the world starts to self-quarantine themselves.
While Gavin and Jack rave about the benefits of working from home, it’s clear that this new lifestyle is full of its own set of daily issues. Perhaps the largest issues is the fact that there are literally no other news stories being mentioned - which makes sense when you consider the fact there’s a deadly virus out there. Jack, sounding more and more like a Commie, reaffirms his point that China’s way of fixing the crisis works because of the government’s iron fist. We compare how governments in the West have handled the situation as well.
Switching gears to more serious issues, Gavin rants about how his home internet connection has been absolute garbage because everyone is either working from home or streaming netflix… Speaking of the Internet, the world seems to be inundated with people who are sending Instagram Challenges while they are stuck at home. I’m not going to workout just because someone tagged me in their IG story. No one wants to see you do push-ups, just do your exercises like a normal human being and stfu about.
In the Cantonese Corner, Jack talks about some of his top recommendations for Cantonese movies. It’s the perfect time to watch them because we’re all going to be stuck at home anyways. Just please, for the love of God, don’t overload my Internet while you are streaming. Follow along with the lesson here.
