TUO does Ghost Stories

Not to be confused with "Ghosting Stories" We get into the Hallowe'en spirit by running through a few of our own haunting experiences, and of course, our listeners ones too.

TUO on Ghosting

Aaaah Ghosting, the act of cutting that b@#ch off at the drop of a hat. Not just exclusive to romantic relationships, you can ghost just about anyone, be great if you could do it to certain ones but we can't because they pay your wage.....or call you MA.

TUO on the "Anti-ick"

Step right up, step right up, and tell us what gets ya goin’! Ah yes, the anti-ick or, the opposite of the ick (which explains it better but doesn’t have the same ring to it). It’s that thing that you see your other half, or someone that you fancy, or you may not even fancy them but they do something that makes your brain automatically and unexpectedly say “YES, QUAR, UM HUM MORE OF THAT SIR/MA’AM” but you can’t help it? The bar is already set extremely low for us Irish in particular so it’s not hard. Have a listen anyway and see what you think. Don’t forget we’re on PATREON and INSTA, and if you’re interested in a few bops you can find Karla’s SOTW Playlist HERE Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-unpopular-opinion.

TUO on Privilege

This week we attempt to brave the subject of Privilege. I's a touchy one's all privileged in our own unique ways, but let's face it, some trump others in regards to todays society. It's important to remember that privilege comes from a place that is out of the persons control, to check yours regularly, and to find out how you can use yours to help others to gain equity. The essay by Peggy McIntosh on privilege can be found here. Karla's Stomper can be found here.
