About this episode

The episode discusses the changing nature of etiquette in social situations and the dynamics of authority within groups.

Has etiquette left the group chat… or just changed addresses? At the Met Gala, a moment with Blue Ivy Carter had everyone clutching their pearls, politely (or not so politely) asking her to remove her sunglasses. Request after request… nothing. Then Jay-Z steps in with the ultimate parent card: “Take them off.” So what happened to etiquette? Is it fading… or are we just seeing the real hierarchy in action? Because every household, every friend group, every workplace has that one person. The closer. The finisher. The “okay guys, enough now” authority. The real question is: in your world… who does the buck stop with? Who is the person that gets your children to do things... like 'The Buck Stops Here' Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.
