Why Can't I Just Mind My Own Business?

Have you ever tried to mind your own business… and completely failed? We realized we're becoming exactly the kind of people Dr. Rick warns us about.
From unsolicited chainsaw advice to explaining car paint, we're starting to wonder: are we becoming our parents?

In this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil talk about the Progressive Dr. Rick commercials—and the uncomfortable realization that they're actually starting to see themselves in them.

Cecil tells the story of two young guys buying a new chainsaw chain instead of sharpening the old one. He tried to mind his own business. He failed.

Then we get into the other ways we've discovered we're becoming "those people": talking to strangers, showing people pictures of our families, managing the TV, giving contractors advice, explaining shades of white, talking way too much about automotive paint, and even trying to help people in elevators.

The real question is: when does being helpful turn into being the annoying old guy who can't stop giving advice?

That Don’t Sound Right is a podcast about talking the way we did before the Internet—without Googling, fact-checking, or immediately looking up who's right.

Have you ever caught yourself doing something that made you realize you're becoming your parents?

Tell us about it in the comments.
