Summary

Are you looking for a book on the Midwest and Christianity that doesn’t excuse racism? Good news! This week Lyz Lenz (@lyzl) joins Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) to talk about her book God Land: A Story of Faith, Loss, and Renewal in Middle America. They start by diving into the parallels between Lyz’s divorce and the 2016 election; America is a lot like your crappy college boyfriend whose red flags you ignored. Afterwards, they discuss what our silence means, especially as white liberals. Finally, they talk about atonement and what it means to better yourself when you have harmed others.

0:00.0	It feels strange to start off a podcast talking about intimate clothing, but that's what I am doing.
0:08.5	I am going to talk about our wonderful sponsor, Third Love, who makes bras. And I, yeah, I'm
0:14.8	wearing a Third Love bra. I actually genuinely love their bras. I think any woman out there,
0:23.4	hopefully, actually, I hope all of not just women, but anyone who wears a bra, I hope you're
0:29.4	picky about your bras. I am picky about my bras. I actually also buy Third Love bras. They gave me
0:36.4	a couple to try out, you know, because they're sponsors, but I have spent money on these things.
0:42.4	What they do that other bras do not do. They have half sizes, which no other bra company has,
0:48.4	I believe, they have over 80 sizes. That's including band sizes that go the entire scale,
0:54.2	almost a whole alphabet and half sizes. I am, for instance, a 32, see in a half, which I did not know
1:00.8	until I took their fit finder quiz, which is another thing that other places don't do. If you want a
1:05.9	perfect fitting bra and you're going to department store, you're going to have to have someone else
1:10.0	feel the joebies. Third Love, you just take a quiz. You take a quiz that's not just about how big they
1:15.9	are or how small or whatever. It's how they look. They give you examples of like, do your boobs
1:21.4	turn this way? Do they turn that way? Are they this shape or are they that shape? It works. My
1:26.5	Third Love bras are the best fitting bras that I own. Someone I follow on Twitter who's an engineer,
1:32.0	once pointed out that other companies should use Third Love an example about how to engineer their
1:37.1	products. I haven't read any of the things they told me to read, but I think I have sufficiently
1:41.9	talked them up. You should buy some Third Love bras if you are a person who wears bras. My listeners
1:47.6	will get 15% off their first order if you go to ThirdLove.com slash friends to find that perfect
1:53.6	fitting bra, 15% off your first order, ThirdLove.com slash friends.
2:05.0	Hi, I'm Anna Marie Cox and welcome to With Friends Like These, where we talk about the differences
2:10.0	between us without letting them divide us, unless, of course, division and separation are healthy
