About this listen
In this candid and lively episode of People, Politics and Pork, hosts Newell Clark and Greg Webb take a deep breath and dive into a topic we all encounter but rarely dissect: rudeness. From cell phone zombies and checkout-line offenders to the bigger cultural and generational shifts that have made civility feel like a lost art, Newell and Greg reflect on the "why" behind today's increasingly coarse behavior. Is it a post-COVID symptom? A byproduct of social media? Or just human nature under pressure?
With their trademark blend of neighborly wit, personal stories, and thought-provoking insights, the hosts walk us through how rudeness has crept into daily life—whether at restaurants, in retail, or even on the roads. Yet, rather than offering a full-throated rant, they propose a hopeful lens: what if kindness, grace, and old-school manners could make a comeback? This episode is both a social observation and a gentle challenge to be better—to each other and ourselves.
