Episode 141: Alison Rosen v. An Instagram Commenter

Alison Rosen (podcaster, writer) joins us to warn of the dangers about posting a photo on Instagram of a recent manicure, lest people think you're too much of a narcissist. In fairness, we do manage to talk a fair amount about ourselves on the podcast, as John is forced to talk about his curling history off the top and it devolves into a long conversation about seltzer and pop consumption. We also get into laser hair removal, arguing with anti-vaxxers on Twitter, one of the craziest CNN interviews of all-time, and John discovers the all-time best name of an Olympian from the world of field hockey.
