## Resource

On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky shares the funny backstory behind Adam Carolla’s recent comments about her and explains why she doesn’t think he actually remembers who she is.

Emily also spends some time discussing modern media, how legacy journalists get major stories wrong in part because they distrust people who dissent from the elite consensus, why she’s selective about the shows she appears on, and why she doesn’t want to be used as a “prop.” Emily reacts to a comment about the great burrito debate and discusses what she found while researching how young people are actually spending their money. She also addresses a number of faith-based questions involving Islam and Christianity, religious violence, and Christianity’s relationship with the Enlightenment and science.
