From Finish Lines to The Prom

from HILARITY ENSUES · host Donna Black

A marathon runner lost the race because he celebrated too early and somehow the internet is mad at the guy who actually kept running. That moment got us thinking: when did finishing strong become controversial?Meanwhile, it’s prom season, and for Black kids, this isn’t just a danc, it’s a full-blown coming-out moment. Custom gowns, luxury cars, grand entrances… this is culture, pride, and a rite of passage all rolled into one unforgettable night.Final thought, Cellphones they have in many ways killed the freedom to enjoy moments. From finish-line fumbles to prom-night productions, we’re asking: are we still living in the moment, or just performing for the camera?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hilarity-ensues--6243018/support.
