episode 262: Walk the Walk
Flo leans into her Taurus Sun and Moon by talking about all the food she's going to eat over the holiday weekend. Andy is fed up with YouTube channels that don't practice basic coronavirus protocols (wear your mask, people!). This week, we break down the players in YouTube's latest dramageddon and delve into why the platform should take accountability for the drama that makes it off-screen. We'll also touch on Verily's backward step paying for its diversity initiatives, YouTube TV's drastic price-hike, and why we think Google Glass might be making a comeback. Andy sends us off with a chuckle-worthy Dad joke.
