Hey there, it's Nick.

And it's Leah.

A real quick thing before we get going, would you please follow our show in whatever app you're using to listen to us right now? Yeah, you don't even have to listen. You could just hit follow and it would really mean a lot to us. Yeah, there's probably like a follow button or maybe there's a bell or a plus sign. Like there's some symbol somewhere and then you'll get notified whenever we have a new episode. We would so appreciate it.

We really would.

It makes a huge difference for our show. like there's some symbol somewhere, and then you'll get notified whenever we have a new episode.

Do you not read between the lines? Do you leave vague delivery instructions?

Do you ask to see the guest list before RSVPing?

Or you raised by wolves?

Let's find out.

Here are things that can make it better when we have to live together. We all use a little help some people don't ask themselves

for you raised by wolves.

Hey everybody, it's Nick Layton.

And it's Leah Bonema.

And let's take it right now, too, with our mooseboosh.

I feel my panic rising. So for today's a Mooseboosh,

I want to go to my etiquette library. Oh. And as you may not know, I actually have quite an extensive

library of etiquette related books, hundreds and hundreds of volumes. And so today I want to do a little book report. Okay, I actually visualize going to your library. I put on little gloves. I pulled out a book. I'm gently turning the pages. I mean, some of the books are quite precious to me. You know, I have some like first edition, first printings. Yeah. And some of these are, you know, from the 1800s. I think probably the oldest book I have is probably mid-1800s. And so,

very fragile. But for today, I want to talk about the culture map, which is a book from 2014 by

Aaron Meyer. And it's really a business book. It's about how different cultures sort of operate. And if

you're like a German car company opening up a factory in Brazil, what does that mean to be a German culture operating in a Brazilian culture? And so that's really what the book is about. But there are some very interesting etiquette lessons in there, which I don't know if the author intended, but that's how I read it. So I just want to kind of introduce you to this book and some of the ideas in it. And then if you're intrigued, then certainly you can read the whole thing. Oh, I'm excited.
