Blood is thicker than water and we don’t get to choose our family, but what if we do? J and B discuss the parameters of family from a bro to cuz.

You only get one shot, but what if it’s twice? John questions if a first impression matters and Bobbie answers primarily in rap lyrics.

Fauxropter E11: Gentleman
John gets the hang of the word vibe while using “gentleman” as an antonym for unappealing group of wankers. Bobbie hopes the hashtag #regularnightwithregularfriends will catch on.

Fauxropter E9: Stream of Consciousness
Luckily this blurb gets to be stream of consciousness which means that anything that comes to mind is acceptable cheese tennis fandango, and this episode took a decent amount of energy to be cool about how annoying stream of consciousness can be.

Fauxropter E8: Apology
New tongue twister: A poppin’ Pope’s passive apology perpetuates problems. Is it too Canadian to apologize for constantly apologizing? We’re terribly sorry to bother you with this, but if you could spend a minute to rate and review Fauxropter wherever you listen, we would be sincerely grateful.
Fauxropter E7: Comfortable
Bobbie lady-splains through new music what it means to be comfortable while John learns what it’s like to be a strong and independent black woman.

Fauxropter teaser
Fauxropter is a podcast about refocused curiosity by John Dutton and Bobbie Gaucher.
We learn about the world using words that represent things and ideas. But those words change their meaning over time. And maybe they mean different things to different people.
Fauxropter is about starting conversations, not winning arguments. It’s about raising questions, not necessarily answering them. Because ultimately, it's about different ways of seeing the world.
