The Lies That Raised Us

We asked: What’s something you heard growing up that turned out to be a total lie? And wow, y’all had some wild ones. In this episode, we're diving into the biggest lies, myths, and straight-up nonsense we all grew up believing. From media misinformation to random stuff your friend's cousin swore was true, nothing is off-limits. Did you think gum stays in your stomach for 7 years? That you’d die if you turned the lights on in the car? That your hair would grow back thicker if you shaved it? Same. We believed a lot of things that... just weren’t true. We read your submissions, share a few of our own, and try to figure out why these lies spread in the first place, and how many of us fell for the exact same ones. Hit play, prepare to feel called out, and let us know in the comments: what’s a lie you believed growing up? 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with a friend who still thinks cracking your knuckles causes arthritis. 0:00 INTRO 3:26 A Court of Thorns & Roses 25:03 Truths that turned out to be lies 27:39 Respecting elders 29:53 The superstitions 43:39 Indian 44:52 Yawning 45:31 Ice cream 46:28 Womens income 47:54 Death in the family 49:49 Travel after marriage 52:05 Obedience 57:49 Giving kids attention SHOP OUR LATEST MERCH DROP: Ode To Our Cities https://okmompodcast.myshopify.com/?s...
