I recently attended a writers' conference and heard we shouldn't describe skin tone of characters at all, and if the reader assumes the main characters are all white and straight, that is the fault of the writer. The topic exploded, and I decided to talk about it here.

Are Hot Dogs Sandwiches? Are Tacos? Is cereal soup? Is lasagna cake?

Costumes are for fun, right? But some folks find them offensive. What are we allowed to do now?

Should we tone down the sex and violence on our entertainment?

So, we're cloning long dead animals now through genetic material. Is this something we should do? That's how you get dinosaurs! Do you want dinosaurs???

Joined by Rachel, we went off the rails on this episode. Join Ed, Andrea, and Travis as we talk about SO many things!

Which is hotter: a medusa or a mermaid? A minotaur or a werewolf?

Hey, it's PORN! But, does it mess you up so you can't get off on sex with a real person?

Are you allowed to ignore toxic people? What if they REALLY want to come back into your life?

Did a 60 year old, world famous astronomer predict the downfall of the United States over 25 years ago?

What more do you need to know?

Can you believe it? People are now suing their parents and doctors because they were born!

Have you compared paying more for a name brand versus paying less for a generic? Which one is worth it?

It's Star Trek, folks. Nice and simple.

Did Our Spending Habits Shift from Goods to Experiences?

Wait, what? Did it REALLY take them until 2022 to pass an anti-lynching law???

Let's talk about what YOU think is your best feature, and we can say personality or sense of humor.

Court cases and state legislature has changed the idea of what an unborn child means for taxes and driving laws.
