Overreach or Not?

2021/11/16

[[This episode was recorded on 11/5]] Laurie, Claire and Anna wonder if a new vaccine rule is government overreach, or is the government simply doing its job? Also, what's happened that made us as a society so inflexible that we defy common sense? Aaron Rodgers claimed he got immunized only to reveal later he didn't mean the vaccine against covid. He meant - he raided a horse's medicine cabinet....or not. And since its launch, Laurie cannot get enough of the FB reels!

Claire, Coach Laurie and Anna D discuss how they've dealt w/ bullying in the past. Were they "bystanders" or "upstanders" -- or a little bit of both? Also, not everyone wants to go to Homecoming or Prom, and that's ok. And a beluga whale is swimming around Puget Sound - a rare sight in these here parts! We are both excited and concerned --- or not! (Er, all joking aside, we really *are* excited and concerned, that's no lie)

Are men and women treated differently when it comes to mental illness? Coach Laurie, Anna D and Claire discuss the curious cases of Britney Spears vs Michael Jackson. Or maybe it's generational, because Olympian Simone Biles is getting support (mostly) from all over (mostly) for bowing out of Olympic events to focus on her mental health. Plus, why on Earth does Kelly Clarkson have to pay her husband $200,000 a MONTH in spousal and child support? And will Brangelina ever actually be divorced? We

It was another miracle week here in our LALON family, with Coach Laurie feeling the power of prayer for a beloved family animal. Also, lots of offices are officially back in person now, and yet, somehow they’re also not; are you all alone in your cubicle village? It may be time to #FreeBritney from her draconian conservatorship, but that doesn’t mean she’s not still bipolar. The Olympics are underway, but should they be?
