3.5 Who Are You Inviting to Your Wedding?

Chris is appalled that anti-CRT rhetoric is turning into actual book bans, and Liz wept through Speed Cubers, a sweet documentary on Netflix. Then, inspired by current events, we dig into the complicated process of making a wedding guest list, that once-in-a-lifetime referendum on all your friendships.  How do you decide who gets an invite, especially when you're getting married in your late 30s?  What does an invite convey to a new friend or a childhood friend you haven't seen in ten years?  We also talk about the younger cousin of the wedding invitation -- the holiday card -- and the strange opportunity it provides for an annual assessment of your friendships.  Plus, our top five TV characters of all time.  How many of Chris's are from The Wire?  There's only one way to find out. Note: This episode was recorded before the murder of Christina Yuna Lee in New York City; we will have more to say about this in our next episode.  We hope you're taking care and being extra-kind to yourselves. ❤️ facebook.com/topfivepod Instagram: @topfivepod Twitter: @thetopfivepod Art by Colin Turnbull (colinpturnbull.com) Music by Origami Pigeon
