I have fremdschämen about where this is going…




It Sounded like a Good Idea at the Time show

Summary: This week we’re diving into famous feuds, Aldi finds (*ahem* we mean what SANTA is finding from Aldi,) a little bit of language-learning, our *interesting* Christmas music and movie choices, how we consume scary movies, and that’s not even what brought us to the table!<br> <br> What makes you feel the most insecure? We thought we’d put out a nice feel-good episode by putting ourselves and our friends on the spot to find out what is the biggest chink in our armor, and we probably subsequently burned a few bridges along the way.<br> <br> This was also the episode where we learned a few fun key audio notes, like that it’s detrimental to have the heat blowing on high, and letting your dog nap in the room where you’re recording is a mistake when your dog is a hard-core snorer. Thanks for nothing Ridley. And winter.<br> <br> Questions?<br> <br> What in the world was that German word you were saying and what does it mean?<br> <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fremdsch%C3%A4men" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fremdschämen</a> means to feel ashamed about something someone else has done; to be embarrassed because someone else has embarrassed her or himself (and doesn't notice).<br> <br> What depressing Christmas song was it that Hannah loves? <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmZ2VHSkVYY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Auld Lang Syne, Dan Fogelberg</a>.<br> And the normal, not sad one? <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2018/12/christmas-albums-reviewed.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">That was John Legend’s new album</a>.<br> <br> What's the only Christmas album Caroline will ever listen to?<br> That was the voice of one <a href="http://amygrant.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Grant</a>, and you should head over and type her name into Apple Music, Spotify, or wherever you get your music. She's got some classics and an amazing voice to match.<br> <br> What was Jameela Jamil saying? <br> Check out more on this story <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/a25332741/jameela-jamil-cardi-b-feud-instagram-clapback-health-detox-tea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>, or simply type her name into google and thank us later. She speaks out about the media's portrayal of real women and the harmful effects of airbrushing and photoshop. She's a real one.
