ENCORE: Why Do We Lie with Bowen Yang an...

Wondery
About this episode

We’re NOT lying when we tell you this is one of our favorites, which is why we just had to run it back for you! You know them from their amazing podcast “Las Culturistas:” Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. We’re talking about lies — the white lies, the not-so-white lies, and the lies that get you caught red-handed.


We’d be lying if we said we NEVER lied. Whether it’s adding a few inches to your height on your dating profile or coming up with a fake excuse to get out of plans, everybody does it! This week we are joined by the hilarious duo, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers to dissect all the reasons why we lie. We fess up and admit some of the funny/embarrassing lies we have told, debate whether or not it’s okay to lie while dating, and we admit how we can be a little delusional sometimes when we lie to ourselves. Even though we are talking about lying, we promise this episode will be filled with nothing but the truth… or will it?
