When you hear an excerpt of Lamar Neal's new book, STAGES it will be hard not to run off and purchase your copy. Joa did. But it wouldn’t be Robin and Joe if they didn’t take a chat detour, and that detour took them through College Memory Lane, Foggy Young Adult Highway and Being a Good Big Brother Drive. Buckle up and have fun!

What are women doing to support the patriarchal system? It's not an easy question, but is one that Robin asks while trying really hard not break her nose falling off her soapbox. Joa elegantly defines life and wonders why we are so hard on mothers. Is it because we are jealous of their superpowers? So many questions in this episode.
