Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Sunita Sah (on defiance)

I remember, I think a few years before that, maybe when I was at middle school, my dad got me these bright red, like warmers. When my dad bought them for me, I was like, I just didn't want to wear them. They're too bright. Give me black so I can kind of blend in. And it was like, no, we can't return them now. So I have to wear these things to school. And it was excruciating, right?

I was trying to hide them with my coat. I was like, no, no, I don't want to be wearing this. But then I kind of changed when I went to St. Joseph's and when the headmistress said like a sea of red, I was like, hmm, I'm not sure about that. And I had the song of Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd kind of playing, right? So I was getting quite attracted to these kinds of things.

I was more questioning. Oh, that's right. Why do they want us to conform so much? Because I was so used to obeying and doing and getting rewards for that. I would see teachers doing things that I thought were unfair. So when I was at middle school, I saw one of my teachers beating up another kid. Oh. And that was horrifying to me.

And I remember meeting him in the corner shop that we had just down the road. And I was really scared, but he was so nice and friendly to me. And in my child's mind, I basically thought that was because he thought I was good. Yeah, you were good. He only beats bad people. He only beats bad people. And so I tried like hell never to be bad.

So I wouldn't get treated like the way that boy got treated. But it really unnerved me, right? It left something there as to why are teachers expecting us to behave in this particular way?

And when I realized that people in authority can do things like that, they can be unethical, incompetent, and just plain stupid, then you start to question the people that are in charge maybe don't have our best interests in mind.

In some ways, it's excessive at medical school. All right. Yeah. When I came to the US, it was fascinating when we were trying to find an apartment to rent. As soon as you say I'm a doctor.
