For the first time since Episode 5, Doug and Jeff celebrate the return of human contact by reuniting on his NYC rooftop and recording face to face. Amid the usual BS about movies, sports, and designer grilled cheese, we talk about the complex emotions surrounding our re-entry into social situations, work spaces, and pants.
If you’re wondering if you’re ready, or if you did enough with your “down” time, cut it out. You did what you could, and you made it this far. That’s reason enough to appreciate everyone else who’s still with us and honor those who aren’t — like Jeff’s dad, whose passing has inspired Jeff’s upcoming book about keeping your dad’s stories alive.
