We all piss. We drink shit (not literally), the shit finds it's way to the kidney (I only have one left), and eventually to the prostrate (if you're genetically male), and out through the wanker.

Pretty standard stuff. At the end, you get urine (hopefully). That's it.

So, why the !%@$# pissing contest?! What's there to contest?
Is your pee yellower?
Is your stream stronger?
Did you hit the bowl this time?

Why are you so *!@& proud of yourself?

The fact of the matter is, we engage in pissing contests way too much in this industry, and it's a COMPLETE waste of time. They serve nothing but the selfish, destructive ego.

Let's go through two examples from this week, and see where it goes from there.
In example #1, it's the classic establish dominance right out of the gate maneuver, "Well, let me give you a scenario...".
Example #2 was straight up intimidation of a colleague with less experience and confidence. The pissing contestant went with the "Well, let me stop you right there..." move.

At the end of both examples, we DID make new friends, but not until we established that we don't give two shits about ego. Let's solve some damn problems!

I'm sure we'll come up with some more good examples during the show!
