The Superbowl and the Taylor Swift Effect
01:15:20||Season 2, Ep. 3JP and Roberta are back after an eventful football season! The success of the Kansas City Chiefs and their potential as a dominant team in the future leads to a discussion about Tom Brady's retirement and his decision to come back and win another Super Bowl. From there, you know we must do a deep dive into the Taylor Swift effect on family dynamics, role models, inspiration, and personal growth. Taylor and Travis Kelce's very public relationship will be under immense pressure to be positive role models in how to handle negativity and criticism, boundaries, toxic masculinity, supportive relationships, public scrutiny, and judgment, and counter that with being the example of relationships full of appreciation and support, the importance of simple gestures, and the impact of toxic and fragile masculinity.
