WEBVTT - Sorry, Not Sorry

0:00:00.270 --> 0:00:04.930
<v Speaker 1>We can split hairs on mass capitalism and mass consumerism

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:05.890
<v Speaker 1>and what it's doing in this country.

0:00:06.010 --> 0:00:07.740
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, let's start the podcast.

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 3>I think we already did start.

0:00:27.870 --> 0:00:31.950
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Rage Pod. We are in season two.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm here with the Tara Erickson.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:35.660
<v Speaker 3>I'm here with D-Bar.

0:00:35.820 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 4>This week, we decided to eliminate I'm sorry out of

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.350
<v Speaker 4>our dialogue, unless we really fucked up. Because then if

0:00:42.390 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 4>we really fucked up, you could say I'm sorry. But

0:00:44.810 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 4>in general, women tend to apologize a lot more frequently

0:00:48.180 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 4>than men do. I think primarily because they have a

0:00:50.740 --> 0:00:54.580
<v Speaker 4>lower threshold for perceiving offensive things.

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.340
<v Speaker 3>They just aren't used to saying, I'm sorry.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.540
<v Speaker 4>They have just a lot of confidence and don't think

0:00:59.580 --> 0:01:03.450
<v Speaker 4>they're at fault as much as maybe women do, which

0:01:03.530 --> 0:01:06.470
<v Speaker 4>is unfortunate. So that's where we've been this week.

0:01:07.370 --> 0:01:08.650
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm not sorry about?

0:01:08.670 --> 0:01:12.110
<v Speaker 1>Is I just used one of Wendy's rolling papers to

0:01:12.590 --> 0:01:13.790
<v Speaker 1>pat down.

0:01:13.450 --> 0:01:16.050
<v Speaker 2>My shiny skin. I'm not sorry about that.

0:01:16.430 --> 0:01:18.630
<v Speaker 1>Well, so you were mentioning that like, what is offensive

0:01:18.650 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to men is different than what is offensive to women.

0:01:20.660 --> 0:01:22.420
<v Speaker 2>And I think, I don't know about you two, but

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.860
<v Speaker 2>I have sort of known about this.

0:01:24.900 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, complex, particularly in regard to women for quite

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>some time.

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine you two, your women, I'm sure you're

0:01:32.340 --> 0:01:32.809
<v Speaker 2>aware of it.

0:01:32.819 --> 0:01:35.980
<v Speaker 1>There was like that Amy Schumer sketch where it was like,

0:01:36.060 --> 0:01:38.060
<v Speaker 1>it was about a bunch of women in a corporate

0:01:38.100 --> 0:01:41.140
<v Speaker 1>office and they could never actually get to their presentation

0:01:41.420 --> 0:01:43.340
<v Speaker 1>because they were all saying, I'm sorry.

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>And they ran out of time.

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.059
<v Speaker 1>I think for me, one of the things that was

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>interesting to think about was in terms of what's offensive.

0:01:50.940 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>It still feels like the burden is on women to

0:01:55.020 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>not take things as offensively, as opposed to maybe let's

0:02:00.420 --> 0:02:05.410
<v Speaker 1>look at the system, sort of the emotional matrix through

0:02:05.420 --> 0:02:08.429
<v Speaker 1>which men and women look at things. And maybe some

0:02:08.470 --> 0:02:11.650
<v Speaker 1>of it is that we're just a little bit more

0:02:11.830 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful and empathetic I don't think all of that needs

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to get thrown out the window. Yes, will society perhaps

0:02:20.020 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 1>perceive some of that in certain settings as weak or

0:02:25.100 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a lack of confidence, but I also think we need

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.230
<v Speaker 1>to re-look at what are things that we value in

0:02:32.290 --> 0:02:36.630
<v Speaker 1>people and not just in someone working for someone, but

0:02:36.790 --> 0:02:41.090
<v Speaker 1>also in leaders. I think empathy is a really, really

0:02:41.190 --> 0:02:45.389
<v Speaker 1>strong value. There were times when I said, I noticed

0:02:45.410 --> 0:02:47.900
<v Speaker 1>myself saying, I'm sorry. Like for instance, I'm on the

0:02:47.910 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>phone with my mom and she's got chronic pain. And

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>anytime she tells me that she's in pain, I say,

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:54.780
<v Speaker 3>And I mean it.

0:02:55.340 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I am sorry that she has to go through that.

0:02:58.300 --> 0:03:01.180
<v Speaker 1>And she said, my mom was a psychologist. And so

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.209
<v Speaker 1>I had told her about this and I asked her,

0:03:03.220 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do you think that was an I'm

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>sorry fail?

0:03:06.419 --> 0:03:09.260
<v Speaker 2>And she said, no, because when you say that, that

0:03:09.380 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>makes me feel good.

0:03:10.220 --> 0:03:12.780
<v Speaker 1>It makes me feel that like my pain is being recognized.

0:03:13.460 --> 0:03:15.970
<v Speaker 2>And in that moment, maybe I feel a little bit

0:03:16.060 --> 0:03:16.870
<v Speaker 2>less alone.

0:03:17.130 --> 0:03:21.370
<v Speaker 1>Looking at this in a binary way is also very

0:03:21.410 --> 0:03:25.740
<v Speaker 1>problematic because we're getting into areas of like, should we

0:03:25.790 --> 0:03:28.780
<v Speaker 1>just be operating like men because men have power in

0:03:28.820 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the world? So in order to get what we want

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.830
<v Speaker 1>from the people that have power, But that doesn't also

0:03:34.250 --> 0:03:35.620
<v Speaker 1>solve long-term issues.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 5>And I think as women and young girls, we pick

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.860
<v Speaker 5>up that habit very young, apologizing to smooth things over,

0:03:43.060 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 5>avoid conflict, making sure everybody else feels comfortable. And I

0:03:48.750 --> 0:03:51.530
<v Speaker 5>think it's interesting when I brought this up to Steve,

0:03:51.950 --> 0:03:53.210
<v Speaker 5>he said, what's the topic this week?

0:03:53.250 --> 0:03:55.430
<v Speaker 6>And I said, we're going to eliminate I'm sorry from

0:03:55.490 --> 0:03:56.310
<v Speaker 6>our vocabulary.

0:03:56.350 --> 0:03:57.130
<v Speaker 2>And he was like, what?

0:03:57.150 --> 0:03:57.220
<v Speaker 5>Why?

0:03:58.250 --> 0:04:00.450
<v Speaker 6>And it was such a foreign concept to him. And

0:04:00.470 --> 0:04:03.830
<v Speaker 6>I said, no, it's actually a thing amongst women where

0:04:03.950 --> 0:04:08.250
<v Speaker 6>women tend to over-apologize. Erica, you gave the example about

0:04:08.650 --> 0:04:11.390
<v Speaker 6>your mom. And I do think that's warranted versus I

0:04:11.430 --> 0:04:13.780
<v Speaker 6>was on an airplane and me and this woman both

0:04:13.970 --> 0:04:16.140
<v Speaker 6>kind of like she walked by and bumped my leg.

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.380
<v Speaker 6>And at the same time, we looked at each other

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 6>and we were like, sorry, you know, is that necessary?

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.540
<v Speaker 6>You know, so Tara, what were some of your observations

0:04:23.620 --> 0:04:25.140
<v Speaker 6>about your sorries this past week?

0:04:26.390 --> 0:04:28.470
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I mean, it's basically the same thing.

0:04:28.510 --> 0:04:30.890
<v Speaker 4>It was like I was in the restroom and I

0:04:30.930 --> 0:04:32.909
<v Speaker 4>was walking out and some girl was like.

0:04:33.130 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Didn't even bump into me, just walked in front of me.

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.940
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, oh, sorry. And then she's like, sorry.

0:04:40.460 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, my God, shoot.

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 4>I just messed up because I don't think it actually

0:04:44.690 --> 0:04:47.270
<v Speaker 4>warranted that. The other time was that I walked into

0:04:47.310 --> 0:04:50.529
<v Speaker 4>a room. I got scared because I didn't know someone

0:04:50.570 --> 0:04:51.450
<v Speaker 4>was in that room.

0:04:51.610 --> 0:04:56.930
<v Speaker 3>And I went, oh. Sorry. Because that's like when someone.

0:04:56.630 --> 0:04:58.670
<v Speaker 4>Freaks out, it's like when you're driving in the car,

0:04:58.790 --> 0:05:01.510
<v Speaker 4>you're like, everything's fine. And someone goes like, you're like,

0:05:01.650 --> 0:05:04.390
<v Speaker 4>oh my God, you scared the actual living shit out

0:05:04.430 --> 0:05:08.029
<v Speaker 4>of me. I said, sorry for my behavior just immediately.

0:05:08.290 --> 0:05:10.170
<v Speaker 4>It was just when I walked in the room, I

0:05:10.190 --> 0:05:12.710
<v Speaker 4>got really scared and they were like, oh no, you're fine.

0:05:14.050 --> 0:05:16.010
<v Speaker 6>And do you think that was something that you were

0:05:16.150 --> 0:05:19.970
<v Speaker 6>actually sorry or were you trying to communicate excuse me,

0:05:20.630 --> 0:05:23.450
<v Speaker 6>or I feel awkward. I didn't mean to inconvenience you,

0:05:23.470 --> 0:05:24.850
<v Speaker 6>but it just comes out as sorry.

0:05:25.150 --> 0:05:28.750
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what it is. Cause I use it literally

0:05:28.790 --> 0:05:29.409
<v Speaker 3>all the time.

0:05:29.450 --> 0:05:31.690
<v Speaker 4>Like if I open the gate to go walk the

0:05:31.710 --> 0:05:34.370
<v Speaker 4>dog and someone is a little too close, but they've

0:05:34.410 --> 0:05:35.890
<v Speaker 4>like already looped around.

0:05:35.910 --> 0:05:38.490
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, sorry. It's not like I hit them

0:05:38.510 --> 0:05:39.049
<v Speaker 3>with a gate.

0:05:39.150 --> 0:05:43.370
<v Speaker 4>I'm just constantly saying it because I think I'm inconveniencing

0:05:43.430 --> 0:05:44.930
<v Speaker 4>people by being around.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 6>Oh, that's a horrible way to feel.

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you really think that way?

0:05:50.220 --> 0:05:52.750
<v Speaker 1>Like, do you really, does that, does that narrative go

0:05:52.790 --> 0:05:55.330
<v Speaker 1>through your head when that happens? Like, oh, I'm inconveniencing

0:05:55.350 --> 0:05:56.529
<v Speaker 1>people just being around.

0:05:57.470 --> 0:05:58.900
<v Speaker 2>Do those words come into your brain?

0:06:00.250 --> 0:06:04.450
<v Speaker 4>Um, probably not probably just like, oh, sorry, like, I'm here.

0:06:04.529 --> 0:06:06.020
<v Speaker 3>I'm probably in the way.

0:06:06.550 --> 0:06:09.410
<v Speaker 4>So that's not like that would be, you know, I'm

0:06:09.450 --> 0:06:13.330
<v Speaker 4>not the healthiest of people mentally, but I wouldn't put

0:06:13.350 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 4>that in my brain every day. But I think that's

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 4>probably where that would. There's a part of that.

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 3>And what do we do about that?

0:06:21.740 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 6>I feel like we've got to change that. I have

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 6>a young woman that I work with. And she's on

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.339
<v Speaker 6>my team. And part of the feedback I gave her

0:06:29.420 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 6>was you have to stop apologizing. She'd sneeze and say,

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.510
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry. She was sick and say, I'm sorry. Like,

0:06:36.529 --> 0:06:39.030
<v Speaker 6>I'm just like, stop apologizing. That's the one thing you

0:06:39.050 --> 0:06:42.670
<v Speaker 6>need to change. And I think we all can benefit

0:06:42.870 --> 0:06:47.330
<v Speaker 6>from not over apologizing, still be empathetic. And, you know,

0:06:47.390 --> 0:06:50.150
<v Speaker 6>I found myself saying sorry a lot of the same

0:06:50.210 --> 0:06:52.830
<v Speaker 6>way that you did with your mom, Erica, where I'm

0:06:52.850 --> 0:06:54.830
<v Speaker 6>sorry that happened to you. And I'm sorry to hear

0:06:54.850 --> 0:06:56.590
<v Speaker 6>that you're going through that. I feel like those are

0:06:56.670 --> 0:06:59.910
<v Speaker 6>good sorries, but I also caught myself like Steve was

0:06:59.950 --> 0:07:01.590
<v Speaker 6>waiting for me and I said, Oh, I'm sorry.

0:07:01.610 --> 0:07:03.170
<v Speaker 2>I was watching a cat video. Like, I don't need

0:07:03.190 --> 0:07:06.730
<v Speaker 2>to apologize for that. Well, were you keeping him?

0:07:07.870 --> 0:07:08.510
<v Speaker 6>Like a second.

0:07:08.529 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 7>Well, I feel like that was fucking warranted. You were

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 7>keeping him because you were glued to your fucking phone,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.380
<v Speaker 7>which ties to a whole other episode.

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 3>That's right. You're right.

0:07:20.340 --> 0:07:20.780
<v Speaker 4>You're right.

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.900
<v Speaker 2>I'm totally on board with that. Sorry.

0:07:23.020 --> 0:07:23.310
<v Speaker 7>Okay.

0:07:23.580 --> 0:07:25.910
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's funny. It was, I was cracking up

0:07:25.930 --> 0:07:30.190
<v Speaker 2>when you said that Steve was like, why? He was like, ew, why?

0:07:30.630 --> 0:07:31.570
<v Speaker 2>Like cracked me up.

0:07:31.690 --> 0:07:36.210
<v Speaker 1>But it's funny bringing up like sort of the male perspective,

0:07:36.710 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>because I know with Ben completely opposite of my mom, um, he,

0:07:42.940 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not just that he doesn't think I need to say,

0:07:46.140 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry if something bad has happened.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.750
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't want it. He doesn't like it.

0:07:52.260 --> 0:07:55.790
<v Speaker 1>It for some reason makes him feel like weak or

0:07:55.850 --> 0:07:59.070
<v Speaker 1>that he is burdening me by me saying that. And

0:07:59.110 --> 0:08:03.930
<v Speaker 1>it's like, no bro. Like that's just my empathetic reflex.

0:08:04.970 --> 0:08:08.330
<v Speaker 1>I have to stop myself from saying that to him

0:08:08.370 --> 0:08:10.150
<v Speaker 1>because I know that's.

0:08:09.830 --> 0:08:10.590
<v Speaker 2>What he needs.

0:08:11.500 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Even though it is like totally just autopilot.

0:08:16.220 --> 0:08:17.990
<v Speaker 2>And not in a way that I'm not connected to it.

0:08:18.020 --> 0:08:22.270
<v Speaker 1>Like I really do feel that maybe in some.

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.890
<v Speaker 2>Ways in terms of things that we can do.

0:08:27.490 --> 0:08:31.290
<v Speaker 1>I was reading an article about this and it showed

0:08:31.310 --> 0:08:34.770
<v Speaker 1>that there's a lot of health benefits to the idea

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>of saying, I'm sorry, we don't want to completely eliminate it. Like,

0:08:38.540 --> 0:08:41.620
<v Speaker 1>taking ownership for saying, I'm sorry, when you've done something

0:08:41.660 --> 0:08:45.110
<v Speaker 1>is really important. And also not saying it with the

0:08:45.179 --> 0:08:48.050
<v Speaker 1>idea that you're going to get it and it's okay.

0:08:48.250 --> 0:08:48.929
<v Speaker 2>I forgive you.

0:08:48.990 --> 0:08:53.890
<v Speaker 1>You can't like, we shouldn't really be setting out to say,

0:08:53.929 --> 0:08:56.310
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, just to get that gratification of like, Oh,

0:08:56.410 --> 0:08:57.130
<v Speaker 1>it's okay.

0:08:57.210 --> 0:08:58.370
<v Speaker 2>Like if you're truly.

0:08:58.130 --> 0:09:01.710
<v Speaker 1>Just sorry about hurting someone, you just say, Hey, you know,

0:09:01.910 --> 0:09:02.630
<v Speaker 1>I did this thing.

0:09:02.650 --> 0:09:04.250
<v Speaker 2>I fucked up and I'm sorry.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 1>And even if, Even if it's not all your fault,

0:09:07.380 --> 0:09:10.060
<v Speaker 1>maybe just owning the part, the piece that's your fault

0:09:10.100 --> 0:09:13.870
<v Speaker 1>instead of saying, I'm sorry, but it was because of X, Y, Z, right?

0:09:14.050 --> 0:09:16.750
<v Speaker 1>If we just said, I'm sorry, Mort, and there was

0:09:16.770 --> 0:09:21.450
<v Speaker 1>something that happened at Disneyland, actually, where I was racing

0:09:21.970 --> 0:09:25.670
<v Speaker 1>literally like an ostrich. I was running like an ostrich,

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.700
<v Speaker 1>holding my daughter, trying to.

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Make it to the fucking bathroom, which.

0:09:31.500 --> 0:09:34.620
<v Speaker 1>in this one area, like there isn't a bathroom for

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>way too far.

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.939
<v Speaker 2>And it's near the Tiki lounge.

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.420
<v Speaker 1>And so I get to the bathroom and she, my kids,

0:09:43.780 --> 0:09:46.450
<v Speaker 1>especially one of my kids, they're afraid of the sound

0:09:46.470 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of the flush.

0:09:46.970 --> 0:09:50.210
<v Speaker 2>They're very audibly sensitive. And so she wouldn't use the bathroom.

0:09:50.230 --> 0:09:51.370
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, oh my God, oh my God,

0:09:51.429 --> 0:09:54.429
<v Speaker 2>oh my God, fuck. And luckily we were very like

0:09:54.490 --> 0:09:55.970
<v Speaker 2>prepped for this trip. We had walkies.

0:09:56.330 --> 0:09:58.930
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm walking Ben and I'm like, stat, I

0:09:58.970 --> 0:10:01.119
<v Speaker 1>need you to get your stats. he had diapers and

0:10:01.140 --> 0:10:02.579
<v Speaker 1>I was like okay if we can't get to the

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>bathroom I'm gonna throw a diaper on her it was

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.819
<v Speaker 1>code red for me and I needed him to match

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.700
<v Speaker 1>my energy and he was not and I was like

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I need you to fucking get here this is like

0:10:14.179 --> 0:10:17.270
<v Speaker 1>EMT we need to get that diaper on her before

0:10:17.330 --> 0:10:20.059
<v Speaker 1>she is peeing everywhere outside this tiki lounge.

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.179
<v Speaker 2>He was like mad at me for being so intense.

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.099
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I needed you to, to recognize

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>what was going on in that moment.

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.660
<v Speaker 2>Had nothing to do with you.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.170
<v Speaker 1>But also I kind of just wanted him at the

0:10:35.330 --> 0:10:37.810
<v Speaker 1>end of it to go, man, I'm so sorry.

0:10:37.590 --> 0:10:38.390
<v Speaker 2>You were in that position.

0:10:39.030 --> 0:10:39.630
<v Speaker 3>I really did.

0:10:39.650 --> 0:10:43.270
<v Speaker 1>Cause the acknowledgement, I wanted the fucking acknowledgement. And for

0:10:43.330 --> 0:10:46.410
<v Speaker 1>some reason, I think sometimes not with all men, but

0:10:46.610 --> 0:10:49.270
<v Speaker 1>certainly one that I'm in a relationship with. That is like,

0:10:49.460 --> 0:10:52.820
<v Speaker 1>that's a challenge because he doesn't want the, I'm sorry.

0:10:53.500 --> 0:10:53.780
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:10:54.940 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>But I want the, I'm sorry. Let's say you're running late.

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 3>I read this.

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was interesting. Instead of saying, I'm sorry,

0:11:00.700 --> 0:11:03.380
<v Speaker 2>I'm late. Thank you for your patience.

0:11:03.620 --> 0:11:04.020
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

0:11:05.070 --> 0:11:07.689
<v Speaker 1>That's like a redirect that you can do. Or if

0:11:07.730 --> 0:11:11.839
<v Speaker 1>you say something offensive, instead of saying, I'm sorry, because

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.140
<v Speaker 1>now when you say, I'm sorry, there is a level

0:11:14.179 --> 0:11:16.850
<v Speaker 1>of victimhood in it. You say, thank you for pointing

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.750
<v Speaker 1>that out. I really appreciate that. So those are like,

0:11:19.990 --> 0:11:22.390
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, two little instances, but.

0:11:22.750 --> 0:11:24.630
<v Speaker 3>It's like a real doctor move.

0:11:25.770 --> 0:11:26.770
<v Speaker 2>A doctor move.

0:11:27.410 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Because you'll be waiting in the fucking waiting room

0:11:30.410 --> 0:11:31.130
<v Speaker 4>three hours.

0:11:31.170 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 3>You get in the room. They're like, thanks for your patience.

0:11:33.340 --> 0:11:35.140
<v Speaker 4>You're like, yeah, I've only been here four and a

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 4>half goddamn hours.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:37.420
<v Speaker 3>But you know what?

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.050
<v Speaker 2>It's great about that. Not, I mean, is it their

0:11:41.130 --> 0:11:42.030
<v Speaker 2>fault entirely?

0:11:42.490 --> 0:11:45.670
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not. I'm still just like, yeah, I get it.

0:11:45.830 --> 0:11:46.970
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for your patience.

0:11:47.090 --> 0:11:50.740
<v Speaker 4>To me, it's like, oh God, doctors have his trigger warning.

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.460
<v Speaker 6>Let me turn the corner on this one because this

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.220
<v Speaker 6>is something that I found interesting and I.

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:56.900
<v Speaker 3>Just looked it up.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 6>Serial predators, scammers, and manipulators explicitly target overly polite people

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:07.130
<v Speaker 6>because they know these individuals prioritize social manners over their

0:12:07.250 --> 0:12:10.929
<v Speaker 6>own safety. And if anyone's ever listened to My Favorite Murder,

0:12:11.290 --> 0:12:13.250
<v Speaker 6>they're always saying, fuck politeness.

0:12:13.370 --> 0:12:13.770
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:12:13.890 --> 0:12:17.650
<v Speaker 6>Predators view constant apologies, I'm sorry, as a clear indicator

0:12:17.770 --> 0:12:21.650
<v Speaker 6>of weak boundaries. And that's scary. So, you know, women

0:12:21.770 --> 0:12:24.940
<v Speaker 6>out there, don't, you know, don't be quick to say

0:12:24.980 --> 0:12:27.500
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry to a strange man that you bumped into

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 6>in the parking lot.

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.699
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like in general, we can say I'm

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.300
<v Speaker 1>sorry less to men. I would say that's a safe

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:35.359
<v Speaker 1>route to go.

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.990
<v Speaker 1>There was this cool article, a New York Times article.

0:12:38.650 --> 0:12:41.270
<v Speaker 1>where this woman was talking about the health of saying

0:12:41.330 --> 0:12:43.990
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. And one of the things that she said

0:12:44.050 --> 0:12:47.610
<v Speaker 1>was non-defensive listening to the hurt party is at the

0:12:47.710 --> 0:12:52.700
<v Speaker 1>heart of offering a sincere apology. So instead of being like, okay,

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.700
<v Speaker 1>I fucked up and I'm the one, I am stewing

0:12:55.740 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>in my own shame.

0:12:56.900 --> 0:12:57.819
<v Speaker 3>Make me feel better.

0:12:57.860 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>You make me feel better.

0:12:59.140 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm feeling shame for what I did. And so

0:13:02.420 --> 0:13:03.990
<v Speaker 1>even though I'm going to say I'm sorry, it's going

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:04.950
<v Speaker 1>to be with this condition.

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.030
<v Speaker 2>Well, because this was happening. Oh, and because like, I

0:13:07.070 --> 0:13:09.089
<v Speaker 2>was really upset about this. I was really depressed. You just,

0:13:09.230 --> 0:13:10.230
<v Speaker 2>you just say, I'm sorry.

0:13:10.429 --> 0:13:14.710
<v Speaker 6>Did you ever find yourself consciously stopping the sorry before

0:13:14.730 --> 0:13:15.470
<v Speaker 6>it came out of your mouth?

0:13:16.010 --> 0:13:16.810
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I did.

0:13:16.830 --> 0:13:19.449
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think I was that skilled. I don't

0:13:19.470 --> 0:13:20.190
<v Speaker 2>think I did either.

0:13:20.330 --> 0:13:23.260
<v Speaker 6>Tara, did you, were you able to like, stop Asari

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:24.340
<v Speaker 6>dead in its tracks?

0:13:24.740 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 4>There was only one time at work, it was me, Andrew, Roxy,

0:13:27.460 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 4>and I went, I'm Su-ba-la-sa-ba.

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:38.170
<v Speaker 3>What are we, what are we shooting? Like, I was like,

0:13:39.490 --> 0:13:42.770
<v Speaker 3>and they didn't even ask. They were like, that's just Tara.

0:13:43.170 --> 0:13:45.670
<v Speaker 4>Cause I'll do that sometimes if I like say a

0:13:45.730 --> 0:13:47.690
<v Speaker 4>word wrong or I'm like, what word am I trying

0:13:47.730 --> 0:13:49.650
<v Speaker 4>to do? And whatever, I'll just be like, hold on,

0:13:49.670 --> 0:13:53.310
<v Speaker 4>let me compute. So it did happen one time and

0:13:53.470 --> 0:13:55.070
<v Speaker 4>nobody asked about it.

0:13:55.870 --> 0:13:56.610
<v Speaker 3>What about you, Wendy?

0:13:56.650 --> 0:13:58.390
<v Speaker 2>Did you find her? You said you didn't.

0:13:58.700 --> 0:13:59.839
<v Speaker 3>I didn't. I didn't.

0:13:59.940 --> 0:14:03.319
<v Speaker 6>But I noticed every time I said it unnecessarily.

0:14:03.660 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was interesting.

0:14:05.540 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 6>The again on the plane, there were a lot of

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 6>sorry's flown around on the plane. And the woman that

0:14:11.020 --> 0:14:12.709
<v Speaker 6>was sitting next to me, she probably got up three

0:14:12.750 --> 0:14:13.770
<v Speaker 6>times and every single time.

0:14:13.650 --> 0:14:14.270
<v Speaker 2>She was like, I'm sorry.

0:14:14.970 --> 0:14:16.309
<v Speaker 6>And I was like, no problem. And then I'd come

0:14:16.330 --> 0:14:17.770
<v Speaker 6>back and, you know, try and plug in my phone.

0:14:17.809 --> 0:14:18.330
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm sorry.

0:14:18.429 --> 0:14:20.270
<v Speaker 6>Like, we just kept, like, kept I'm sorry-ing each other.

0:14:20.470 --> 0:14:23.410
<v Speaker 6>That is unnecessary. And I think as women, we should

0:14:23.430 --> 0:14:25.830
<v Speaker 6>be more aware of it. And it's okay to just say,

0:14:25.870 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 6>excuse me. You don't have to apologize for you taking

0:14:28.900 --> 0:14:29.340
<v Speaker 6>up space.

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.260
<v Speaker 3>How long was that flight?

0:14:32.180 --> 0:14:33.620
<v Speaker 6>Like five hours, four and a half.

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.420
<v Speaker 3>She had to get up three times?

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.660
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. Okay.

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.460
<v Speaker 2>My mom has to get up every 20 minutes. Her

0:14:40.500 --> 0:14:41.450
<v Speaker 2>bladder is a peanut.

0:14:41.610 --> 0:14:42.850
<v Speaker 7>Wow. Okay.

0:14:42.870 --> 0:14:43.290
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 4>I think maybe one I'm sorry and the rest excuse me.

0:14:48.700 --> 0:14:53.210
<v Speaker 6>Or maybe it's never an I'm sorry.

0:14:53.270 --> 0:14:55.130
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's always an excuse me.

0:14:56.490 --> 0:14:58.770
<v Speaker 1>Why should, like, why should, I'm just, you know, just

0:14:58.990 --> 0:15:00.290
<v Speaker 1>to have a conversation here.

0:15:00.770 --> 0:15:02.570
<v Speaker 2>Why should she be saying I'm sorry? She has to

0:15:02.610 --> 0:15:05.070
<v Speaker 2>use the bathroom. The bathroom's there to be used. And

0:15:05.150 --> 0:15:06.590
<v Speaker 2>she's not sitting in the aisle seat.

0:15:07.050 --> 0:15:08.010
<v Speaker 3>Pick an aisle seat.

0:15:09.250 --> 0:15:10.870
<v Speaker 2>It was gone when she booked the ticket.

0:15:11.070 --> 0:15:14.210
<v Speaker 3>Not available. Okay. Well, then, when I'm sorry, you rest

0:15:14.270 --> 0:15:16.630
<v Speaker 3>excuse me. No, I don't even.

0:15:16.670 --> 0:15:18.890
<v Speaker 2>But why ever an I'm sorry in that situation?

0:15:18.930 --> 0:15:20.130
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't really need to.

0:15:20.530 --> 0:15:23.780
<v Speaker 4>But a little bit jokingly, I'm like, bitch, it's.

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 3>A four-hour flight. You had to get up three to

0:15:25.660 --> 0:15:28.740
<v Speaker 3>four times. That's a lot. I'm trying to sit here

0:15:28.860 --> 0:15:31.739
<v Speaker 3>and watch a movie, and your butt is in my

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 3>face now three times.

0:15:34.170 --> 0:15:36.890
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I'm actually proud of this woman. It

0:15:36.930 --> 0:15:38.250
<v Speaker 2>means that she is hydrating.

0:15:38.270 --> 0:15:40.310
<v Speaker 1>You get so dehydrated when you've traveled.

0:15:40.330 --> 0:15:42.310
<v Speaker 2>And she's moving. You shouldn't be sitting saddened either.

0:15:42.330 --> 0:15:43.750
<v Speaker 6>And she's moving, she's circulating.

0:15:44.170 --> 0:15:47.900
<v Speaker 1>But meanwhile, Tara's, you know, got to watch her fucking

0:15:47.940 --> 0:15:50.620
<v Speaker 1>Love Island, and she is not having none of it.

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.230
<v Speaker 3>Not having it.

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 4>That's why I choose the aisle seat, so I can

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 4>get up, I can move my legs, I can pee

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 4>as much as I want.

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Am I ruining anybody's.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 4>Viewing experience of some major cinema?

0:16:02.100 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:16:03.620 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>No, but you're the one that needs to sit on

0:16:05.860 --> 0:16:08.630
<v Speaker 1>the inside because that way you're never going to be

0:16:08.670 --> 0:16:12.830
<v Speaker 1>disrupted with your reality shows because you'll be in the inside.

0:16:12.850 --> 0:16:14.570
<v Speaker 2>See, I think the logic is backwards.

0:16:16.010 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, because I have the same problem. I also

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 3>like to get up and move and go to the bathroom.

0:16:21.340 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 7>Oh!

0:16:22.420 --> 0:16:28.610
<v Speaker 3>Oh, wow. Oh, okay. So yeah, we'll just be super hypocritical.

0:16:28.660 --> 0:16:30.630
<v Speaker 2>We'll just, you know, we are ashamed.

0:16:32.830 --> 0:16:34.770
<v Speaker 4>That's why I choose the aisle seat.

0:16:34.950 --> 0:16:37.450
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to bug anybody. I do that at

0:16:37.490 --> 0:16:39.830
<v Speaker 3>the movie theaters. I do it at a concert.

0:16:39.970 --> 0:16:42.130
<v Speaker 4>If you're going to take me anywhere and you don't

0:16:42.220 --> 0:16:44.460
<v Speaker 4>get me an aisle seat, I'm not coming with you.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>But you're missing the other part of it that you're

0:16:47.140 --> 0:16:51.550
<v Speaker 1>not affording the same a courtesy to the person sitting

0:16:51.610 --> 0:16:52.050
<v Speaker 1>next to.

0:16:52.050 --> 0:16:54.750
<v Speaker 2>You that you have. Like if you were sitting in

0:16:54.790 --> 0:16:56.460
<v Speaker 2>their seat, then you would need to get up.

0:16:56.590 --> 0:16:59.690
<v Speaker 6>Because Tara's like, bitch, book the seat. Book the seat

0:16:59.710 --> 0:17:00.550
<v Speaker 6>you need to have.

0:17:00.430 --> 0:17:00.870
<v Speaker 3>On the edge.

0:17:00.910 --> 0:17:01.330
<v Speaker 2>Oh my God.

0:17:01.410 --> 0:17:04.530
<v Speaker 1>This woman had to book a last minute flight because

0:17:04.570 --> 0:17:05.290
<v Speaker 1>her mom died.

0:17:05.550 --> 0:17:05.990
<v Speaker 3>Oh God.

0:17:06.869 --> 0:17:09.270
<v Speaker 1>She is hairy, like trying to make it all work

0:17:09.369 --> 0:17:10.770
<v Speaker 1>at wherever her job is.

0:17:11.350 --> 0:17:12.550
<v Speaker 2>Her husband isn't with her.

0:17:12.609 --> 0:17:13.990
<v Speaker 3>Her wife isn't with her.

0:17:14.050 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 6>He was in the window, didn't move the.

0:17:15.410 --> 0:17:16.670
<v Speaker 3>Whole fucking time. He was in the window.

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.780
<v Speaker 1>She's like her cortisol is just like skyrocketing.

0:17:20.820 --> 0:17:22.970
<v Speaker 2>And meanwhile, Tara's like, yeah, all that's fine.

0:17:22.990 --> 0:17:26.230
<v Speaker 1>You still owe me a fucking sorry for booking a

0:17:26.310 --> 0:17:29.490
<v Speaker 1>window seat that you had to book at the last minute.

0:17:29.510 --> 0:17:30.980
<v Speaker 2>And it was the only available one.

0:17:31.180 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 3>I know. Here's why I don't travel. I guess that

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:35.360
<v Speaker 3>might be why.

0:17:35.790 --> 0:17:38.910
<v Speaker 4>But no, really, most time, I feel more bad for

0:17:38.970 --> 0:17:41.110
<v Speaker 4>people who don't have an aisle seat and they have

0:17:41.150 --> 0:17:43.169
<v Speaker 4>to get up to go to the bathroom because I

0:17:43.230 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 4>feel like if I was them, I would feel awkward.

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.700
<v Speaker 3>Having to get up and be like, excuse me, every

0:17:48.740 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 3>freaking time.

0:17:49.380 --> 0:17:51.660
<v Speaker 4>It literally kills my soul if I'm them.

0:17:51.700 --> 0:17:53.620
<v Speaker 3>So I always just go, no big deal, man.

0:17:54.180 --> 0:17:55.920
<v Speaker 4>And it really is no big deal to me because

0:17:55.980 --> 0:17:57.179
<v Speaker 4>if I was them, I would feel.

0:17:57.060 --> 0:17:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Weird as hell.

0:17:57.780 --> 0:17:59.610
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know why that is what it is.

0:17:59.660 --> 0:18:00.970
<v Speaker 4>It's like we're on a plane. We all know what

0:18:01.010 --> 0:18:01.490
<v Speaker 4>to expect.

0:18:01.930 --> 0:18:03.130
<v Speaker 3>But that's it, man.

0:18:03.590 --> 0:18:06.470
<v Speaker 1>There should be a lot of I'm sorry's with air

0:18:06.510 --> 0:18:10.340
<v Speaker 1>travel and 99% of them should come from the airline

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:16.939
<v Speaker 1>because it is a fucking hellhole of an experience to travel.

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.210
<v Speaker 6>Did you guys see the guy that recently got duct

0:18:20.250 --> 0:18:21.430
<v Speaker 6>taped to the seat?

0:18:21.609 --> 0:18:21.770
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.500
<v Speaker 6>Yes. There was a guy that was drunk, belligerent, and

0:18:25.540 --> 0:18:26.780
<v Speaker 6>a couple of the other passengers.

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:27.940
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm already on board with this.

0:18:28.060 --> 0:18:30.980
<v Speaker 6>They wrestled him to the chair and they duct taped him.

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll put the picture up. It was incredible.

0:18:33.100 --> 0:18:34.060
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome.

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:34.870
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.550
<v Speaker 3>Did they duct tape his mouth shut? Nope, nope. But

0:18:37.670 --> 0:18:38.850
<v Speaker 3>he was, wait till you see.

0:18:38.790 --> 0:18:39.879
<v Speaker 6>The picture, you're going to die.

0:18:39.950 --> 0:18:40.649
<v Speaker 2>This is great.

0:18:40.710 --> 0:18:42.990
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of acts of heroism that

0:18:43.030 --> 0:18:45.330
<v Speaker 1>happen on- Crazy airline flights.

0:18:45.350 --> 0:18:47.330
<v Speaker 2>This is the first one of these that I've heard

0:18:47.369 --> 0:18:47.910
<v Speaker 2>of before.

0:18:48.130 --> 0:18:48.910
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome.

0:18:49.250 --> 0:18:53.140
<v Speaker 2>We all failed so hard at this. And, you know,

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 2>some of us failed harder at no phones. And it

0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:00.260
<v Speaker 2>made me think we can't do easy things. You know,

0:19:00.300 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 2>like we can do hard things is a different podcast.

0:19:03.580 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>This podcast is we can't do easy things. We are

0:19:08.260 --> 0:19:11.980
<v Speaker 2>a shame-based podcast. Come on down. We'd love to have you.

0:19:14.750 --> 0:19:16.250
<v Speaker 4>What I will say, because I know we have to

0:19:16.290 --> 0:19:18.210
<v Speaker 4>get out of here, is that I was watching The

0:19:18.250 --> 0:19:23.250
<v Speaker 4>Pastor's Wife. And that made me, if you guys end

0:19:23.310 --> 0:19:26.429
<v Speaker 4>up watching it, or if anybody listening watches it, that

0:19:26.470 --> 0:19:29.900
<v Speaker 4>shit is like, it's wild behavior.

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 3>And that family would deserve a million I'm sorries.

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.899
<v Speaker 4>And I hope that that guy, when he has to

0:19:37.940 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 4>show back up in court in.

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:43.430
<v Speaker 3>October of this year, I hope he's sentenced to many,

0:19:43.450 --> 0:19:45.060
<v Speaker 3>many years. Me too.

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.790
<v Speaker 1>I thought he's not going to say I'm sorry. From

0:19:48.350 --> 0:19:50.830
<v Speaker 1>what you're giving me, he's not. me, he's not giving

0:19:50.869 --> 0:19:52.370
<v Speaker 1>full of empathy and remorse.

0:19:53.230 --> 0:19:57.060
<v Speaker 4>No, and if he does, he's so sociopathic, it will

0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.020
<v Speaker 4>be for a performance for the court.

0:19:59.170 --> 0:20:01.260
<v Speaker 3>It won't be a genuine I'm.

0:20:01.180 --> 0:20:05.260
<v Speaker 4>Sorry because you literally killed your wife and then went

0:20:05.300 --> 0:20:08.180
<v Speaker 4>to do a sermon the next morning and didn't shed

0:20:08.300 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 4>one fucking tear.

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.000
