We talk about some of your initial feedback and comments from our first 12 episodes that dropped just before the long weekend, including #co-parenting with a #narcissist.
Ooh and Scott and Dan get in their first real argument!
For once, Dan feels like the "been there, done that" expert of the duo, as this is really Scott's first foray into being a voice on the internet. As Dan points out during the show — and if it were shorter it would have been the title of this episode — "That's what you said: 'that's not what I said and that's not what I meant.' That doesn't matter, man. You're on the internet now. What you meant does not matter. What matters is what other people hear you saying. And sometimes what you say and what you mean is not what other people hear.
"I'm not saying it's right...your intentions do not matter to people. It's what you words say to them, and this is a totally different beast."
Dan talks about how he's had to deal with that his entire career, and how he allowed the negative to, as he put it, "tackle the positive" to the point where it broke him.
That's kind of the lesson in this entire episode, and really the Playbook as a whole: Find the positive in a situation and focus on that. Listen to the feedback no matter if it's positive, negative or neutral, but don't let the negative break you. Find more joy in the positives of life.
