Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Sharon McMahon (law and government teacher)

I can simultaneously talk about, yeah, Congress doesn't fund FEMA well enough to actually help all these people. I can say that thing as a true thing. It's my belief that Congress needs to get their rear in gear and stop spending time arguing on TV cameras and actually do something on behalf of the American people.

I can simultaneously hold that as true while also actually not just spending all my time running my mouth. And actually move my hands and feet to do something to help. Can I do everything? No. Can I do something? Yes. I can leverage my platform to do something instead of just criticizing. I think we just feel like if we're angry, that will change things.

Yeah, the dopamine hate of as soon as I'm like, you know who is the worst? Females. Yeah, I hate them too. Like you get this like validation of like we both hate the same thing.

Well, you know, I've been teaching for a while. I teach on the internet now and I used to teach in a classroom, obviously. And it's very apparent to me that people in this moment, they feel really hopeless. They feel like nothing they do matters. They feel like nothing they will ever do matters. They don't have billions of dollars. They don't have a weirdly shaped rocket ship.
