This episode got me thinking about apologies.
A good way to reassure people that you are committed to being a better version of yourself is to be apologetic when faced with the harm you caused even if the reminder is unexpected or unpleasant.
Ethics can coexist with a person whose brand is raunchy. A person can embrace controversy and still be repentant for crossing lines they are embarrassed they crossed....or are at least embarrassed they got caught crossing.
AND, if the person is not embarrassed or apologetic then they have to pay the social cost that goes along with that. To try and have it both ways is corny. Society is moving forward and there is less and less room for abusers.
