We made it to Episode 10 🎉 (which statistically means we might actually survive as a podcast).

This week, Billy and Joe break down the unwritten rules of society—the ones nobody teaches you… but everyone judges you for breaking.

From blasting TikToks in public to left-lane campers, bad tippers, texting etiquette, and the absolute chaos of group restaurant checks… nothing is safe.

Plus:

• Joe survives laryngitis 😷
• A Starbucks “medicine ball” might actually be magic
• And we may have accidentally exposed half of society

👉 Question for you:
What’s the most annoying “unwritten rule” people constantly break?

In this episode of the Open Tabs Podcast, Billy shares a wild (and honestly impressive) Facebook Marketplace scam story that proves even savvy buyers can get got. 😳

Then things take a turn as he shows off his latest purchase—a full-on mountain unicycle—and explains why he decided to finally learn how to ride one.
