Veyo Works From Home – Episode 5
May 1, 2020
We’ve been heavy users of Slack during this stay-at-home time, giving us lots of fun glimpses into the at-home adventures of our Veyoians. We’ve met a lot of dogs, cats, and lizards, discovered a whole group of cookbook lovers, had a little The Office vs. Parks + Recreation rivalry, and reminisced about the days when we could all travel the world. Check out our Instagram account for more #WorkplaceWednesday posts and read on below for the latest list of what to do this weekend!
If you’re looking for something to watch…
- Will Ferrell and Mindy Kaling will co-host Americares Comedy Event tonight at 5pm PST/8pm EST
- Here’s a list of the latest shows being released on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon
- If you’re a Melissa Etheridge fan, she’ll be streaming live today at 12pm PST on her Facebook page
- Ben Folds will be taking requests from his apartment and streaming live on May 2 at 4pm on his YouTube page
- As part of YouTube’s #StayHome campaign, The Rolling Stones launch a weekly series entitled ‘Extra Licks.’ Each YouTube Premiere will stream the bonus features of six concert films from throughout their career. This week’s choice features footage from the band’s 2016 Latin America Ole! Tour.
If you’re looking for something for the younger crew…
- Kids love the theater? Disney’s The Lion King on Broadway is offering free virtual theater classes!

- Speaking of Facebook, they launched a new desktop app for their Messenger App. If you’re tired of Zoom or HouseParty, it’s worth a try.
If you’re getting hungry (or thirsty)…
- Free beer! Coors Light is giving away up to $1 million of beer in a new social media contest that aims to boost morale among Americans in lockdown
- If you’re looking for a little help in the kitchen, San Diego’s own Brian Malarkey (currently competing on Top Chef) is hosting virtual cooking classes from his own kitchen. All proceeds from the class will go to supporting their restaurant staff.
- Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at home with Avocados from Mexico! They’re giving out prizes and sharing a ton of new #HomemadeCinco avocado recipes
- If you’ve been missing your caffeine, Starbucks are starting to reopen across the country
And on a random note…
- If you’ve always wanted fried chicken-themed shoes (or socks)…now is your chance! All proceeds go to support the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund
