Taking it To The Street

This week, we explore whether or not Prince really loved purple, discuss what happens when women refuse to move out of men's way for a week, and applaud Pink's parenting style. Plus, what happens when your girlfriend demands the receipts--the read receipts. All that, plus the usual nonsense.

Just detest them. Beginnings are definitely the most exciting, middles are perplexing and endings are a disaster. … The temptation towards resolution, towards wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. Why not be more honest with the moment? The most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving towards another beginning. That’s genius.” ― Sam Shepard (Ruby’s pick)33:35 -- SHOW CLOSE / CREDITSThe Swirl is produced by Kodi Seaton & Stephanie Ruby. Mixed & Edited by Kodi Seaton.
