🎙️Episode 105: Six Lies & VHS Tapes 🎙️

Dear Breathers, let’s talk about the bold-faced lies pop culture told us as kids. From VHS tapes to Saturday morning cartoons, we were out here believing we’d wake up with magic powers at 16 (looking at you, Sabrina) and that every high school party looked like aShe’s All That house rager. Spoiler: neither happened.Apologies for the sound glitches! We're still learning and trying new things with our recording. Be kind! Rewind!

In this episode, we unpack:

🔹 Thereal trauma of finding out we weren’t secretly witches after watchingThe Craft

🔹 Why pop culture had us thinking driving was as easy as reading a manual (Twins, we’re looking at you)

🔹 The absolute audacity of movies making high heels look comfortable (Dorothy, Cinderella… explain yourselves)

🔹 HowFerngully was actually telling the truth, and we just ignored it

🔹 The after-school special drug panic that had us believing dealers were lurking on every corner (spoiler: they were not)

Also, Lauren shares a childhood fire-related incident that proves stop, drop, and roll was NOT as reflexive as they wanted us to believe. 😬🔥

We’re also reading listener call-ins, so if you’ve got a pop culture lie that shaped (or shattered) your worldview, slide into our DMs or leave us a voicemail at (312) 772-5725.
