Some people might not even experience such things, as they are mature enough to acknowledge the passage of time without flipping out.

Jeff joins us to dive deep into this week’s just bananas happenings on an already dying hellscape that is Twitter.

John’s back this week and boy is it time for giving him just more of the great Frightentimes gifts in celebration of his upcoming nuptials.

Luckily, we don’t really want to talk about it because we’re Americans and all, but the fact of the matter is the Queen died. And we must talk about it. For like. A minute. What else do we talk about? It would be improper to say in the face of the light that is the Queen’s death, so you’ll just have to find out by listening to Zero Credit(s).

It’s August 31st and you know what that means. That’s right, it’s officially fall. Gone are the hot 100+ degree days of summer and here are the [checks thermometer] 99 degree days of the fall season. Pumpkin spice is in the air as are so many cloves. And this fall, it seems a certain President of the United States is on a tear – finally doing some of the things he should have been doing the entire time. That and John explores the cultural phenomenon of “quiet quitting.” It’s all right here, on Zero Credit(s).

Henry is basically recovered and John is solidly back from Vermont, so it’s time to get back to work. Boy, are things upsetting. We tackle the big media merger that is the acquisition of Warner Media by Discovery, a move that honestly shouldn’t be too upsetting, but of course it is because CEOs are involved. Then, we pivot to the world of finance as GameStop, the once-upon-a-time errant knight is back again with a hairbrained scheme that seems more malicious than cool, which is to say, uncool. We’ve got that plus some extra, right here, on Zero Credit(s).

The Zero Credit(s) boys are mostly back this week with tales of their harrowing adventures through sickness and health. Henry’s sorta here after surviving covid (we edited out his coughs, to be sure), and John’s back from being in a different state, the state being Vermont. Not a lot of examining the zeitgeist in this one, folks. We’ll get back to the ole grind in a minute, but for now, let’s go over what happens when one has covid and when one visits Vermont. All, right here, on Zero Credit(s).
