#337 Transcripts episode 3 Stop Being offended

The Youngbloods

Segment 3 – Stop Being Offended

(0:00) (Audience laughing in the background) “What happens if you say that and someone gets offended? Well, they can be offended. What’s wrong with being offended? When did ‘sticks and stones may break my bones’ stop being relevant? Isn’t that what you teach children for God’s sake. That’s what you teach toddlers :”He called me an idiot. Don’t worry about it. He’s a dick.” Then you have adults going ‘I was offended. I was offended, and I have rights.’ Well, so what. Be offended. Nothing happens. You’re an adult. Grow up. Deal with it. I was offended. I don’t care!

F:I’m so offended!

D:(laughs)

F:And you don’t care

D:I honestly, see, you, so I love comedy

F:(laughs)

D:and you, you know, comedy is one of the most amazing things if you think about it. With comics, comedians, and it’s getting harder for the comedians, it is getting harder and harder because of the way our world is and the way people react. Um, but comedians, they can take a serious subject

F:Like hot topic subjects

D:Very Hot topics

F:Ok

D:They can talk about racism, they can talk about sexual…

F:Politics

D:Politics, it doesn’t matter what the subject is and they can take it and they can discuss it in a way with humor because there is truth to everything, every, you know, we’re, (laughs) in being intentional, which we’re gonna talk about that , knowing what words mean, and understanding words…it’s an education thing. It, it’s all about …yeah, we just gotta be smarter people, we gotta keep learning. We stop learning. We do. So, yeah, this comedian, he talks about being offended. And it’s funny and you hear people laughing. Those people were laughing, they were enjoying themselves. And they were laughing because he was talking about being offended. What happens when you are offended? When you get offended. You’ve been offended before, right?

(2:21)

F:(laughs) Yes

D:I’ve been offended

F:Yes, I’m, I’m sorry I was just sitting there going ‘When, there, yeah, I sometimes

D:Yu took offense to something?

F:I sometimes have gotten offended way too easily.

D:People leave churches because of taking offense.

F:Yes

D:People cancel people, cancel culture, because they are offended

F:I’m gonna say this, marriages end because of offense

D:Marriage ends because of people getting offended. So, do we care? Some things we should care about. If a marriage is ending because people get offended then that’s because there is a lack of understanding. That’s a relationship issue, that’s a communication issue.

F:And honestly I think that anytime anyone gets offended it is because of a lack of understanding

D:OK

F:I feel that misunderstandings are what cause offense to come about

D:Well, so what causes the misunderstanding?

F:Lack of, a misunderstanding is, in my opinion a misunderstanding is

D:Lack of education…
