Coronavirus Podcast + Potholes vs. Spill Proof Cups

Massachusetts passed a hands free cell phone while driving law recently. Now i’m almost driving into pedestrians with their heads buried in their phones. When will they pass a hands free law for people walking on sidewalks and crossing intersections? 

The “touch to text function” in my car has a mind of it’s own — so not only is using my phone dangerous and now illegal, but the touch to text is saying to me, “I’m going on break, let me know if you need anything”… WHAT!?!?

Very onbrand. 

But calling Uber/Lyft drivers professional drivers is like calling a crummy wedding DJ a professional musician. Like yes, you’re getting money for this service but you’re not Calvin Harris or Diplo or the late great Tiesto.

It’s wild
