Dozing Arguments

November 11, 2026 · 1 h 14 min

Show notes

Johnny brings the case against his wife, Alie. Alie loves hanging out with Johnny so much, she wants to stay next to him on the couch - even after she’s fallen asleep. Johnny says, quality time involves TWO awake partners. Johnny wants Alie to go to bed when she’s sleepy, because he wants to enjoy his alone time in actual solitude. Alie just loves sleeping on the couch! Who's right? Who's wrong?
