As a Matter of Fact (The Nick and Nolan Show)

You can't always be like Disney and have a Redo (i.e. The Lion King), but you should take time to Re-set, Re-adjust, Re-start and Re-focus (all the RE's) as many times as needed. Life is tough.

Nick and Nolan start this episode with an extensive history of how communication has been advanced in each successive civilization over generations. Starting with the banana phone!? Today millennials use memes to communicate with each others. But have memes stifled serious conversations? Memes, where once began as being funny, are more and more becoming an anti-productive form of communication as they become a substitute for serious thought out dialogue (I.e. political communication). Listen here as we try to rightly understanding the purpose of memes and how we can have constructive dialogue.
