Watching tv shows had me convinced that being an adult would be very easy. Surprise, it’s not. Reflecting on scenes from some of my favorite TV shows from back in the day and today, my guests and I will be taking the lessons from the shows we watched and applying it to our adult life to determine if it has taught us something valuable or just swindled us altogether. ------------- Created & Hosted - Dawnie Marie Produced - Dawnie Marie & Bay Laurel Media Sound Editing & Design - Jordan Vertison-Hardy Theme Music "Handsome" by - UNC LB, Ottie James, Seej Logo - Sazan Pasori
