Episode 37 - The Language Conversation / Corona Chubbelina
Hello world! Since a good chunk of people has been advised to stay home, why not give episode 37 of The Organic Theory Podcast a listen. YOU AINT GOT NUN BETTA TO DO. The NCAA has canceled their tournaments but it's still March Madness. Pena and O'Neil recap the madness that's going on in the world of shelves being cleaned out and toilet paper being bought in surplus over the coronavirus. Yes, it has grown but the hysteria has grown exponentially. We take a deeper dive at the numbers to again see if it adds up. Something smells fishy though. Our main topic of episode 37 is one word: Language. Before everyone began over-responding to the coronavirus, we as a society were selectively overreacting to certain words by getting highly offended when hearing them. O'Neil shares a new word to overreact to via a story he heard from a client. 'Grooming'. Yes, grooming is a word that has been banned at his client's job. This opens up the floor to other words that others get offended by. When we decide to get highly offended by the misused words of others, it removes the opportunity for both parties to better learn the perspective of one other. This is a classic episode with mentions of elephants in the room and a few other twists. We also touch on a lady who bought a 12 year supply of toilet paper...just in case, Justin Bieber's song "Yummy", cultural appropriation, Dwyane Wade's child, a Biblical story and so much more. Here's a question for You world: What's the definition of pandemic and does the coronavirus pass the smell test of the definition of the word? Tune in and be ready to hear some opinions. Right or wrong, they're still opinions so there is no right or wrong. If you love what you hear or don't like what you hear, leave a review on Apple Podcasts and give us a follow on Instagram @theorganictheorypodcast.

Oh, you're starting to finally do it. Congratulations.
