About this listen

In 1913, an etiquette magazine published a “manual for marriage” — complete with do’s and don’ts for wives and husbands. Over 100 years later, we’re reading it for the first time… and reacting in real time.

From meeting your husband at the door every day to not wearing violet ties with green socks, some of these rules are hilariously outdated, others still make sense, and a few are just plain wild.

We also dive into the Sydney Sweeney / American Eagle ad backlash, why it went viral, and what it says about outrage culture in 2025.

If you’ve ever wondered how couples were “supposed” to behave in the good old days — and why people seem to get offended by everything now — this episode is part history lesson, part comedy roast, and part culture commentary.
