The 3rd wave of COVID has hit and Seattle is entering another lockdown. On this week's episode we share the classy (The Queen's Gambit), but mainly trashy (Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, The Bachelorette) TV shows getting us through. 

Just The Tip

America's 3rd Wave of Trash TV

Mike and Ishea are on day 252 of quarantine. Yes, y'all heard that right... two hundred and fifty-two days of quarantine (and counting). In this episode, they share what it's been like being quarantined the past 8 months, their COVID wedding, the joy they felt hearing Trump lost the election, and the two reality shows they never thought they'd watch that ended up being the perfect escapism for election anxiety: The Great British Bakeoff and The Bachelorette.  It's safe to say this year has been the ultra marathon none of us asked to run -- but there's a light at the end of the tunnel!   

Day 252 of Quarantine

On this week's episode... Coronavirus is taking over the world (literally), so we're sharing how we're surviving each other, while surviving the world. We live in Seattle, which was ground zero for the US outbreak, so we've been feeling the effects of COVID-19 for a few weeks. While we feel fortunate to be able to WFH, we (like everyone else) are still adjusting to the new reality, which seems to be changing by the hour. We share how we're transitioning into indefinite WFH, the ways we're managing our different levels of stress and anxiety, and all the amazing content we've been binging!  Watch our IGTV video about how we're staying sane during coronavirus/COVID-19 social distancing, self-quarantine and wfh: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xhaNLAfTs/ Follow us on IG/FB/Twitter: @YourFavPodcast and be sure to share your book suggestions and shows you're binge-watching!  Ishea's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sixtwentyseven/ Learn more about Just The Tip Podcast: https://linktr.ee/YourFavPodcast
