This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the a**hole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about the random objects in each psychologist's office.
In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole for making my plane seat neighbor uncomfortable?"

During the chat, Dan mentioned the urology episode of Ologies with Alie Ward: "Urology (CROTCH PARTS) with Dr. Fenwa Milhouse." Here's that link: https://www.alieward.com/ologies/urology
And to answer the question about ass or crotch, etiquette says: "always face the stage", which has translated into "the front". So, in the plane, you'd be looking at the cockpit. Therefore, your butt would be looking at your fellow seatmates. [In her 1922 book “Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home,” Emily Post advised theatergoers to "always face the stage and press as close to the backs of the seats you are facing as you can.”]
