E05 | Etiquette Is Tough
from Tough Times Podcast Hosted by Nate Bennett
This episode starts with Rob & Nate making Dave very uncomfortable talking about teeth. Nate then shares a story from his week and how it made him realize his dislike of crowded spaces. Rob fleshes out some thoughts on childish insults and how they're often the harshest of disses. The guys then play the show's first-ever voicemail message! This leads to them sharing about fears & phobias for a few minutes before diving into the main topic: Etiquette. Rob starts with some trivia about a few celebrities' lack of etiquette while we crack open a few cans of La Croix. Then we explore the etiquette around food (table manners, etc.) before leading into a Forbes article that addresses 21st century etiquette. Nate expresses a lack of empathy towards people who attempt to engage with you while on a phone call, and we also point out some etiquette do's and don't's during job interviews. Nate then opens a can of worms by questioning the modern-day application of chivalry, which we spend the rest of episode fleshing out. This, of course, again gives Dave all the fuel he needs to rage against people who take offense to simple acts of chivalry. SHOW NOTES Forbes Article
