Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday, and let's get weird together in a good way.

Listen to What Are We Even Doing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Didn't we do a whole episode on mirrors and maybe talk about breaking mirrors?

Yeah, because we're talking about the idea that if you break a mirror, if you are superstitious, a lot of people would say that brings you seven years of bad luck.

And we're going to dig into why that might be.

People have been superstitious ever since there have been people about different things and way before the mirror.

And apparently the Greeks were the first people to sort of just start talking about a reflection because the story of Narcissus,

falls in love with his image in the stream and drowns and dies.

So because of that, the Greeks are like, maybe seeing yourself isn't such a great thing to do.

That's right.

Yeah.

Or I guess look at the reflection to see Medusa if you're a Clash of the Titans.

Wasn't that a shield?

How would you say the name of the person who looked at their reflection in the water?

I didn't think you were.

I think I might be getting that pronunciation from the song from Indigo Girls.

I look a lot like Narcissus.

Oh, maybe so.

And by the way, our good friend Lucy Wainwright just got off of tour with Indigo Girls.

Yeah, she had the road with them for a while.
