Episode 21: Political differences are sparking emotional fireworks year round in every sector of our society. Civility is becoming a lost consideration. Conversation is a lost art.

Coming to a mutual understanding is too much work for us. Our humanity is slipping away. Especially on social media, which has gone from a constructive sounding board to a destructive whipping post. Our emotional wicks are short and explosive. 

On this week's show, we share a personal story that went sideways fast. So much so that Karen thought she would need bail money for Jerry after he got into a hostile altercation with a drunken military veteran at a public event.

Also on this episode, a controversial observation about America the (not so) beautiful. Although we’ve been taught that the United States is an utterly unique triumph of freedom, democracy, goodness and decency, this is not the whole truth about our country.

About the show

“She Said, He Said" with co-hosts Jerry Davich and Karen Davich unpacks all the baggage about relationships, couples and issues between the sexes (and the ex’s). “Because there’s a lot to unpack,” Karen says.

The dangers of online dating. The fun of flirting. Blended families. Difficult in-laws. Connecting after arguments. First kisses and final divorces. You name it, they’ll unpack it on “She Said, He Said.”
