242. We’re All Liars: What’s Your Lying ...

Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

Liar, liar – all of our pants are on fire. In this juicy conversation about lying:

  • Why the question isn’t “DO you lie?” – but “HOW and WHY do you lie?”
  • What constitutes a lie to you: defining what makes something a lie;
  • Figuring out our own particular lie languages – and why Abby’s a Bullshitter; and
  • Deciding if there is anyone you can be completely honest with – and how to create the algorithm of honesty.
