Summary

Quarantine measures in Quebec are severe enough that we couldn't make our regular Wednesday night live show. That didn't stop Lauren from recording a solo long-format episode for your viewing pleasure, though! On the menu this time is whether or not this global pandemic is a gendered issue, followed by a segment covering some laws that might force trans individuals in the U.K. to inform their sex partners about their former gender — or get charged with rape. And finally, Lauren discusses PETA's latest nonsense surrounding ... the child's game "Animal Crossing"? Help support FreedomWorks' grassroots activism! Text ‘LAUREN’ to '41490' now.

it's a good time, but last night, that did not happen.

0:40.3

And the reason why is that the government here where we film from has really been cracking down on things trying to curb the spread of that illness.

0:50.0

Non-essential businesses have been closed for quite a while, so there's no malls open, no theaters,

0:56.0

gym schools, anything like that.

0:58.0

But because we've had a recent surge of new cases, they've gone even further, and now any gathering of more than two people,

1:06.4

i.e. all gatherings have been banned. Indoor, outdoor, doesn't matter. You can be fined if you break this rule it's it's a pretty big

1:36.3

is it worth breaking quarantine by having people over to film?

1:41.2

I don't know, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry so for now this is what we have me solo coming at you by my lonesome

1:50.6

our Monday and Saturday episodes that are going to be coming up will not be affected in any way.
