Lee and Simon reflect warmly and self-critically on moments of unintended unkindness, exploring how irony, tone, and long-honed habits can cause harm even when the intention is to connect. They discuss the complexities of authenticity, performance, and informality—especially in academic or professional contexts—while gently mocking themselves and each other with characteristic affection (at least that's what chatGPT said).
