Episode Synopsis
🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODEEpisode 151 – Stupid rulesIs it a rule if no one told you? Andy and Roger tackle the peculiar world of unwritten social conventions—those awkward, often absurd codes of conduct we all follow but no one really explains. From urinal etiquette to splitting the bill, from holding the door to who gets the TV remote, it's a buffet of modern manners, passive-aggressive rituals, and quiet judgment.The episode opens with an attempted Father’s Day sleep-in gone wrong, followed by a deeply philosophical—and mildly traumatic—exploration of public toilet hygiene. The conversation ranges across cultural expectations, generational divides, and whether being generous is a genuine trait or just an elaborate power play.Along the way, Andy and Roger take shots at "bless you" etiquette, dissect door-holding hierarchies, and debate who controls the restaurant bill and the living room remote. There's even a brief cameo by a dwarf at a football game urinal (you’ll just have to listen).If you've ever pretended to offer the last slice, fake-laughed at a boss’s joke, or said “I'm good” when you were anything but, this episode's for you.Hashtags:#UnwrittenRules #SocialEtiquette #AndyAndRoger #ModernManners #PodcastDiscussion #CulturalNorms #OfficeCulture #DatingEtiquette #UrinalSpacing #LastSlicePolitics #BillSplittingDrama #AustralianHumour #SocialExpectations #PassiveAggression #LiftEtiquette #ModernLifeRules #BathroomRulesEngage with us on social media:Website:http://themiddle.site/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the_middle_podcast/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@themiddlepodcastandyrogerFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Middle-Podcast/100089236832534/Twitter:https://twitter.com/TheMiddlePCEmail:[email protected] up to our subscriber email list:Visit our website: http://themiddle.site/Or click: https://forms.gle/4qATmU2yiHgjZrej8
