In this episode of The Unhinged Father podcast, Robbie reflects on a lesson inspired by a recent sermon and the ad campaign, “He Gets Us.” While not a religious episode, Robbie delves into the broader concept of treating everyone with basic human dignity and respect. Using personal anecdotes from his youth baseball days, he illustrates how our reactions to umpires can mirror broader societal behaviors.
Robbie explores how competitive aggression often turns into unwarranted hostility and how this can extend into various aspects of life, from parenting at kids’ sports games to political and ideological divisions. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a baseline of respect for all people, regardless of disagreements or differences.
Join Robbie as he shares his personal journey of navigating these challenges and strives to be a better example for his children. This episode is a candid and honest look at the importance of empathy, respect, and treating others well in a divided world.
