In this episode of Small Town Scuttlebutt, the crew dives into the ever-blurring line between comfort and basic public standards. Rick opens the show with a proclamation that’s apparently more controversial than it should be: pajamas should not be worn on airplanes. Inspired by a recent Boston Globe reader survey, the conversation explores whether showing up to a flight dressed for bed is harmless comfort or a sign that the bar for public behavior keeps getting lower.

In the mid-show segment, “Cabin Pressure,” Evan puts the group through a series of real-world scenarios that test the boundaries of airplane etiquette. From questionable wardrobe choices to in-flight habits that drive fellow passengers crazy, the crew weighs in on what’s acceptable and what should probably stay grounded.

In the second half, Liz zooms out to examine the broader trend of public etiquette slipping in everyday spaces. From small annoyances to full-blown social faux pas, the group debates whether these behaviors are just part of a more casual culture—or signs that common courtesy is quietly disappearing.
