Digress with D and E

We digress on a mix of lighthearted and serious topics. They start with a debate on the trend of romantic gestures involving decorated beds and how it may imply expectations. The conversation shifts to a more somber note, addressing the persistent issue of gun violence, including the recent shooting in Evergreen, Colorado, and the assassination of political influencer Charlie Kirk. The hosts delve into the larger political and societal implications of these incidents, the role of mental health, and the controversy over free speech in a heated online world. Join us for a deeply engaging and multifaceted discussion.
