This week, we kick things off with a new segment, Insane Recession Indicators: HVAC companies running panic sales ahead of tariffs(?) Sara Lee selling half-loaves of bread, and Vegas casinos offering locals wild perks we haven’t seen in years (free parking? we don't know her). Oh, and the U.S. maybe getting involved in a military conflict with Iran. No biggie, right...?
Then... do you think you know how to behave in public? The conversation about how social behaviors are evolving continues, and this week we're pondering whether people are ruder since COVID. Are people actually getting ruder, or are we just filming it more? We break down top public pet peeves, from blasting music to smoking in public, and share what we think belongs on the list. Spoiler: not picking up your dog’s poop is still a top-tier offense.
Recs this week:
🎭 Andrew – The Rehearsal S2 on HBO Max
👑 Laura – Blue Prince available on Steam
🧼 Pam – Lume deodorant
After Dark for Patrons + Apple Podcast subscribers: Andrew has unearthed a particularly shitty interaction with our OG "boss" from 2007, so you know a dramatic reading is in order. Then we talk about the awkwardness involved with lending/borrowing money. What is the right social etiquette, and we share our own stories where we learned this lesson the hard way.
