The novel coronavirus cannot keep the Earful gang down! Like Tom Hanks, we've risen from the dead; a little rusty, but with plenty of new CDC-approved protocol for keeping the YGM analysis both incisive and safe. In this ep, we bring you a veritable "Who's Who" from the Fox family tree, say hello to New Jersey, and give careful ratings of all "games" at the Fall Festival. Also featuring the popular new segment "Our Set-Up."

Earful of You've Got Mail: Episode 6 (0:25:00 - 0:30:00)
Two grand openings this week: Fox and Sons Books, and Episode 06 of An Earful of You've Got Mail! As the Fox surveys the henhouse, Kathleen and George practice the hard sell, Christina moves the fish, and sandwichman chows down. Meanwhile, we analyze book prices (hand-tipped or non), plow through 5+ sub-scenes, create synergy among our various podcast properties, and generally do the best we can, given that we cannot hear each other speak.

In this, the final episode of Earful, the gang is in a feuding mood! We again return to the Happy Land of Absolutes to discuss the eleventh five minutes of You've Got Mail, and discuss the criminality of all the Mail characters, Jeffersonian purity, and modern gym wicking technology. Recorded just hours after the Presidential Election was called, we're also making our own calls: how best can an unprofitable cultural enterprise be preserved? Who is best suited to be the spokesman for Fox Books? And is Kathleen Kelly truly a pill? Featuring the famous segments "We Read the Tweets" and "We Relitigate the Feuds" (AKA "Feud Update" AKA "The Feud Litigator")
