Turns out… some of the things we were taught growing up aren’t just wrong — they might be the exact opposite of true.

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew dives into a surprisingly fascinating conversation about things you have to unlearn as an adult, sparked by one wild realization:

👉 Putting spiders outside doesn’t save them — it actually kills them.

🕷️ The Spider Myth

For years, many people were told:

Don’t kill spiders

Catch them and release them outside

Help the ecosystem

But according to new info:

👉 Most house spiders can’t survive outside

👉 Catch-and-release = death sentence

🧠 The Bigger Idea: What Else Isn’t True?

That leads to a bigger conversation:

👉 What else did we grow up believing that just isn’t real?

Examples include:

Turning on the car dome light will get you pulled over

Sitting too close to the TV will ruin your eyes

Leaving lights on will drain your battery instantly

😂 Why Parents Told Us These Things

The crew breaks it down:

Some were just easier explanations

Some were about controlling behavior

Some were based on outdated information

🤯 Other Things We Might Have Wrong

The conversation even expands to:

How dinosaurs actually looked (more bird-like than reptile)

How “common knowledge” evolves over time
