Free Tacos and TV?! A Guide to Quarantine Freebies

The world is in a never ending game of hot lava. Hot Lava is what I’m calling quarantine, by the way, go ahead and try it. The next time you see someone jogging and you feel bad that you’re not exercising just say to yourself, “Oh man… she’s not gonna win, she’s covered in lava.” Congrats on killing it by the way at the hot lava challenge and staying at home. Look at you winning at everything!

Your prize for crushing it is a list of freebies you can do to avoid watching Tiger King for the 17th time. By the way if your partner has sardine oil in their Amazon cart, RUN. You’re in danger! Risk the hot lava!

Jen Saunderson is best described as a human mogwai (whimsical and sometimes dark). Don't feed her after midnight! Saunderson is the creator and host of the IFC web series, “The Filling is Mutual,” along with her co-host Jenny Zigrino. The Jens also host a podcast of the same name, focused on their love for comedy and food. Saunderson has toured internationally performing in Reykjavik, Edinburgh, London, Prague and Tokyo. She’s been a judge’s favorite on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, had her head chopped off on Comedy Central’s Badass Bitches of History and has appeared on each season of FOX’s Laughs. She can be seen every month performing with Los Angeles’ Pack Theater’s house sketch team, Squish. She is survived by her husband, two cats and dog named Gandalf… who may or may not be a wizard.
