Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Sunita Sah (on defiance)

Yes. We were in London and we were on our way to see the flame that they hold. And it was like, oh, it's a once in a lifetime experience. He's like not impressed with this at all. Yeah. And he just wouldn't walk there. And he sat down on the pavement. And I was like, no, come on. I was like pulling his arm and trying to pick him up. And I could only get a few steps. He was heavy at that point.

I was like, no, I can't carry you. And we just completely missed the whole thing. And we went home and he's just not realizing this moment in history that I have now missed forever. And I said to him, why can't you be good?

And that kept me up at night. I was like, why did I say that when that's what I learned, right? This whole obedience equals good and defiance equals bad. And here I was just repeating it. That really took me back to why is it so strong? Even when he was a baby, I would have relatives asking me, is he good? It's a baby. Right. There's no such thing.
