Ep 6: Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

In episode 9, we talk about the quote that's thrown out whenever law enforcement or other groups are called out for violent behavior. So are there really just a few bad apples? We talk about that and get into the science of how apples actually go bad.

In episode 5, I discuss Married at First Sight's most EXHAUSTING couple: Chris & Paige. So far Paige has tried to reconcile her horrible treatment with several "churchy" sayings including "God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle". I attempt to show the dangers of the theology women like Paige have been taught for YEARS under the guise of "faith". There is definitely more to the quote.

In celebration of Black History Month, I discuss the popular quotes that get repeated year after year, "They Gave Us The Shortest Month" or "Black History Should Be Celebrated 365". These sayings assume that was never the intended purpose of Black History Month. As I dig into the history, it becomes obvious these sayings are nothing short of ironic and leave out important and exciting facts. 2021 marks 95 years since time was set aside to celebrate Black people in history. There is no better time to get back to the origins.  Happy Black History Month!

In this minisode of the podcast, I discuss one of the most repeated quotes by the media this month: 'Our Country is More Divided Than Ever Before".  I felt it would be the perfect time to list a few other times in American History where we were just as divided or at least should've been. The minisode is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and YouTube.

In episode 2, Lauren explores a quote said many different ways but all with the same sentiment. Music today just isn't as good as it used to be. The episode takes a trip to the past to find out what some artists and society felt about some of the old school music we sometimes refer to as "real music" when it was the new sound of its day.
