Happy Hour Special: Quarantinis
<p>What a year this week has been! With the help of remote recording (along with a double shot of tequila and a whole pint of mango Talenti), J.J. and Shayna were able to make a delirious episode that *kinda* touches on Dem Debates, Grant Hill’s singing career and WFH etiquette. TBH, it’s really just us chatting as besties who need each other right now - but we’re here and in your ears! Still working on getting our editor locked down during this mayhem, so please expect a super raw version of Yo Business.

Confectionary Fellow (Fixed!)
<p>Ya’ll, when I tell you that a break from staying up on all the mess of the world was much needed. But break over, back to work! In the first episode of Season 3, J.J. scares the ish out of us by saying Candyman a bit too many times and recounting the horror of gentrification. Shayna reminds us about science when it comes to coronavirus fear and both hosts talk about pre-Super Tuesday politics—which has all crumbled since we recorded. Plus, we learn what to do with that little merit increase to see a difference in your savings and the importance of never feeling too old to learn. </p> <p>Yo Business: </p> <p><a href="https://madamenoire.com/1135904/nia-dacosta-candyman/"><u><strong>When You Talk About </strong></u><u><strong>Candyman</strong></u><u><strong>, You Need to Say Nia DaCosta’s Name</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/2/28/21156128/coronavirus-prepare-outbreak-covid19-health"><u><strong>It’s not overreacting to prepare for Coronavirus.
