Episode Description from the Publisher

I keep getting thanked by restaurant staff. Not for tipping well. For not screaming at them.Hi, I'm Lauren Howard (you can call me L2) and this is my podcast Different, Not Broken - which is about exactly that.This one covers a lot of ground: why service staff now brace for impact over an overcooked salmon, why I tipped extra for honesty, and — since the outrage economy makes no sense to me — why Taylor Swift's wedding has the internet in a chokehold while Donald Trump has made $2 billion he can hold in his disgusting sweaty fat hands and nobody seems to care.What starts with an inedible salmon at Chili's, and a misplaced pizza descends into the Taylor Swift wedding outrage — the double standard around wealthy women being self-indulgent, and where I think our collective anger would be far better spent.Plus, in Small Talk: Priya from Oregon has been the planner friend her whole life.📞 Leave me a voicemail: https://differentnotbrokenpodcast.com/voicemailLearn more: https://differentnotbrokenpodcast.comMentioned in this episode:Sponsor the showhttps://differentnotbrokenpodcast.com/sponsorsSponsor Different Not BrokenJoin Quirky
