It's good to be bad and it's bad to be good. Today's discussion started out about how Liz really likes in songs when someone says "it feels so good to be bad" (or vice versa). This quickly turned into a conversation about church and religion. We really liked this conversation and hope you guys do, too. For more Love/Hate, visit www.lovehatepodcast.com
