Episode 44: And We Thought Love Is Blind Was Crazy (The Ultimatum | Season 1 Review)

On this week’s episode of “Yep, That Happened,” I give my review of the Netflix series, The Ultimatum. Enjoy! (Spoilers included)

Note: This episode was recorded before the string of mass shootings that occurred in the two weeks following the Buffalo shooting. It has been beyond devastating and depressing to hear about the mass shootings in Uvalde, TX; Tulsa, OK; and several other cities across the country. Innocent people are getting killed senselessly, and our public officials are doing nothing or suggesting even more harmful ideas for how to stop the epidemic of gun violence that has been going on in this country for decades (think about the cases that go unreported). Once again, prayers and condolences are not enough.

We need strict gun laws, similar to what other countries have done already. People deserve to be safe in and outside their homes. Schools, grocery stores, churches, hospitals, movie theaters, and practically every public place in this country are no longer safe until we pass some serious gun reform.

Yep, That Happened is a podcast where writer and host, Shirley, talks about what everyone else is talking about, what needs to be discussed more, and what no longer deserves our time.
