Hey guys, welcome back to According to. I'm Megan.

And I'm Sierra for this week's episode.

Megan and I are going to be talking about weaponized incompetence and then the mental load.

I was like, what was the second word?

I've had this thought of like a topic and episode idea for a while because I

I already forgot the person's name on TikTok.

I have seen this girl's TikTok and I will make sure I find her at before we move on too far.

And she's a mom and she pretty frequently talks about just like both of those concepts

Well it's also so normalized that it's just kind of like, what do you expect?

Yeah. And so how would you describe it in the moment. It's also so normalized that it's just kind of cool. What do you expect? Yeah. And so how would you describe it in your own words? We're just like we're previewing right now.

Then we'll jump back to our weekly spotlights and catchups and all that. But just like give you guys

a preview of where we're at. Also, I think we're premiering this episode earlier than normal so welcome to a morning listen if you

have not been able to do that before um Haley inspired us to do this because she is now commuting to

work and she wants something to listen to on her commute and so she was like you guys need to

upload it earlier so people can do that so if this is a

new experience for you and hopefully it's enjoyable this is for you morning's meters um so how i

would define weaponized incompetence is someone claiming to not have knowledge of how to do something and therefore

claiming that they can't do it and it's weaponized because they are then forcing someone else to

do it even if it's a task that they could learn how to do and so it's just saying like oh I can't
