82: Calling Out Vs. Calling In
Episode 82 Calling Out vs Calling In
Show Notes
In this episode, Tricia and Rob begin with a lively discussion about Jerry Seinfeld’s latest book, Is This Anything?
Rob brings this question to today’s discussion: When do you think it is important to be public in your calling out of poor behavior, versus when it is important to be private about it? Is it best to always be private about calling someone out, or should the size of the audience who witnessed or heard the offense match the calling-out response?
Quotes
”Peter knows coffee and bacon like other people know brain surgery!” –Tricia
“If we knew there were just thousand of appetites just lined up, one right behind the other, why would we be so careful to not spoil this one? There are millions of appetites lined up right behind this one, just waiting for me to use them!” – Tricia and Rob, loosely quoting Jerry Seinfeld
“I don’t want to make anyone feel bad about who they are, least of all my kids—publicly! We are figuring out lots of things in this house privately, as a foursome.” – Tricia
“Why do we have two ears and one mouth? To do twice the listening and half the speaking.” – Tricia
“Love first, then correct.” – Phil Vaughan
“Are you capable of celebrating what someone else is enjoying?” – Rob
“An open invitation is an unbearable expectation for some of us. You know what that sounds like? Not my problem! I’m not going! But…that’s not me.” – Tricia
“I’m not triple-booked; I’m triple-invited. I’m probably not going to do any of those things today…” –Rob
