Covid is NOT giving us life, but the collective engagement around it is! We ask, “Do you relate to a celebrity? Why?” Hear the origin story of Ginger’s love for Beyonce and who Jason loves to see do the splits. How are fictional characters different from real life celebrities? What is moral decoupling?

How do you know when you are being your authentic self? What does that even mean?!
