Today we talk about:

• Nothing worthy of an "Explicit" tag, but there are a couple of jokes that may be considered ribald, so use discretion around the kids (as Ira Glass might say, we acknowledge the existence of sex shops)
• We Start a Business
• Comedy and Zoom
• And a lost comrade in the pun community (see more below)
