Weston reflects on sweaty hugs and allergy mishaps, while Molly pushes for reclaiming politeness in shared spaces. Covering generational shifts, ignorance vs. intentional rudeness, and the pendulum swing toward formality, they encourage reclaiming boundaries without becoming curmudgeons. Listeners are inspired to reflect on everyday courtesies and adapt to modern casualness while valuing respect.
