Because your ABA Inside Track hosts are such chronic truth-tellers, we decided it was time to look into this “lying” we’ve heard so much about. For instance, we’re not sure why anyone would ever lie. Or whether it’s an important skill to learn how to lie, especially when your best friend tries on a questionable outfit. Or if learning about George Washington can really improve honesty. We promise, if you listen to ABA Inside Track’s new episode, you will be popular and more attractive.*
*Note: we’re probably lying. Though we bet you’re still swell.
