It just slipped Leah's mind that she once flew with a ventriloquist dummy.

Six years. 300 episodes. The secret to making it work? Leah moved to the other side of the country. "I think it's the best thing that's ever happened to our relationship honestly."

Leah has a bone to pick with whoever is making car headlights right now.
What used to be high beams are apparently now just... regular low beams.

Apparently people hide hundreds of rubber ducks all over cruise ships. And yes, there are etiquette rules.

Thanks for having us!

Air travel has turned into a full-blown social experiment.

You’re trying to read in peace… and the guy in 32B is shouting into his speakerphone. Someone else’s bare feet appear near your tray table. And half the gate attempts to board the plane before their group is even called.

So what’s the right way to handle these moments when you’re trapped together at 30,000 feet?

Nick Leighton and Leah Bonnema from the etiquette podcast Were You Raised By Wolves? join me on TRAVELING WITH AAA to chat about airplane behavior gone off the rails.

We cover:
✈️ The seat recline debate
✈️ Why “gate lice” might actually be the airline’s fault
✈️ The official rule for armrests (middle seat wins)
✈️ Why personal device volume has gotten out of control
✈️ The most outrageous airplane etiquette question they’ve ever received

If you fly even semi-regularly, this one will feel very familiar.

And now I need to know… what’s the worst airplane etiquette violation you’ve ever experienced? 👀

SPOILER: You'll hear one of my worst in this episode!

Leah grabbed an envelope live on air to prove her point. It did not go the way Nick planned.

The question: do you open an envelope from the front or the back? Nick says the back. Leah says the front -- and that maybe she's just an iconoclast.

We need to talk about people who blow soap bubbles in public. You're in a park, minding your own business, and suddenly you're being pelted with someone else's soapy whimsy. Nick makes the case for abolishing bubbles entirely. Leah agrees. This is not a drill.

When people abandon "miss" and "ma'am" and try to substitute something else... and land on something horrific. 😬

We've all been there. Someone's just trying to be friendly, but the replacement is SO much worse.

Ever had a stranger stand SO close in line they were basically spooning you? Leah has. And she has thoughts.

Men are emboldened... and they need to be set out to sea. 🚢

Nick is in the street, arm out, freezing, doing everything right. 🚕
And somehow he is still the problem.
Crasslighting is real.

Leah is in charge of the Amuse-Bouche for the first time ever. 🐑

Nick is anxious.
Leah promises it will make sense eventually.
Linear storytelling is not guaranteed.
