8 – Lying, but Different – False Memories


September 21, 2021

About the Episode

Memory is a tricky thing. It’s even trickier when you’re dumb, in the public eye, or a politician. Or all of those things at once.

This week Sierra learns about the Tea Party (not the Boston one) while Colin explains different situations involving false memories. Join us as we discuss dead grandparents, Sinbad, and Colin’s fear of the hospital. P.S. Grandma is in the windchimes.
