What should be socially unacceptable… but somehow everyone just lets it slide?

In Episode 11 of the Open Tabs Podcast, Billy and Joe dive into modern behaviors that quietly drive us insane—from filming everything for social media to letting dogs run wild in public to blocking entire grocery store aisles like it’s a team sport.

But it doesn’t stop there.

The conversation takes a deeper turn into something more meaningful:

• Are we documenting life too much… or not enough?
• What moments are actually worth capturing?
• And what do we wish we had recorded before it was too late?

Then things get practical:

• When should you call someone out (and when should you let it go)?
• How do you handle bad service, awkward social moments, or workplace mistakes?
• What does it mean to “lead sideways” when you don’t have authority?

And of course… it wouldn’t be Open Tabs without a completely unhinged fake sponsor.

🎯 Topics include:

• TikTok culture & recording everything
• Being present vs documenting life
• Memories, family, and regret
• Social etiquette gone wrong
• Calling people out (or not)
• Workplace communication & leadership
• Grocery store chaos (yes, really)
• The legendary “Left Sock” sponsor
