Episode 101 begins with a look at the modern “etiquette wars,” where phones, tipping screens, and collapsing social norms have turned everyday life into a battlefield of clashing expectations. From speakerphone offenders to airplane meltdowns, the hosts explore how technology, burnout, and shifting boundaries are reshaping what we consider basic decency — and why everyone thinks they’re the polite one. The show then pivots to an interview with Dr. Laura Dabney, author of I Need You … Now Go Away!  Her book distills decades of psychiatric practice into a sharp, accessible guide to the messy push‑pull of modern relationships, where craving closeness and demanding distance often collide.
