Cool Story with Bri & Bridie15. Religion & Ethics in Schools, Glossier & The Insidious Nature of the Beauty Industry & The Impending Danger of Deep FakesThis week Bri and Bridie disagree on almost everything! Whether or not religion and ethics should be taught in public schools, whether or not the things they like are 'common', and then they fight about lip fillers. Bridie read Glossier, the book and story behind the biggest millennial brand ever, which led to a discussion about hustling and women in business. They finished by comparing what they're afraid of in this new era of deepfakes proliferating online.
