Is Being Fake so Bad?

Is Being Fake so Bad?

In this episode, I dig into whether being “fake” is actually the worst thing in the world. If someone you don’t even like is acting super kind, offering you a glass of water or a chocolate bar—are they really the bad guy? I talk about honesty vs. politeness, when it’s okay to hold back the truth (like after someone’s family member dies), and when brutal honesty is actually the best thing you can do as a friend.

Along the way, I wander into books that suck, Cheez-Its that aren’t the same anymore, my mom thinking I lost it after the “Pee Duct” episode, and even what I’d do if someone broke into my house with me holding only a golf club. Like always, it’s weird, random, and unapologetically honest—because that’s what The Weirdo is all about.
