Ever been somewhere and people around you start doing something out of the norm to the point of it being uncomfortable? That's a lack of couth and decorum.  Well this week the world decided to go down that path and Jason Patton and Gary Weed join Mark Bland to discuss all of it.

If you haven't been under a rock, you know the story about the kids in MAGA hats getting in the face of a Native American man at a pro-life rally in Washington DC. The story has caught massive attention because of a few things.

1. How the media reported the original incident

2. How the children from Covington High school treated the elder Native man

3. The use of the Trump hat as a sign of the times

4. The discussion of parents and where were the adult supervisors in the situation

Mark and the guys discuss these 4 things as they traverse the world of decorum and where we are as a society in 2019.

ALSO...the LA Rams made it to the Super Bowl against the Patriots and Gary is a huge Rams fan. This led to some online back and forth between Mark and Gary (being on opposite sides of the game) and a GRIEVANCE once again presented itself. Both Mark and Gary have their complaint and they bring it to the table to discuss live on the air. Who was in the right or wrong? Or were neither?  You find out!

Finally, Covington High School, just couldn't get out of their own way. Once the media storm hit, they got caught with video from a basketball game.  This is important because of the MAGA hat and their involvement with something people considered a little off color....well it becomes really off color when the same school from the mass hysteria also seems to have a somewhat racist belief its okay to do blackface, even accentuating the eyes and lips with white makeup like Al jolson did. This wasn't kids making a mistake...this was kids being okay'd by their parents to get away with something the parents knew better about. The guys break all this down and much more on this episode of the Q!
