Travis, the time has come.

What time?

To learn about my girl Emily Post.

It's Schmanners! Oh, Hello internet. I'm your husband host Travis McElroy and I'm your wife host

Theresa McElroy and you're listening to Schmannners. It's extraordinary etiquette for

ordinary occasions. Good morning my love. Good morning dear. How are you? I'm well, how are you? I'm good. It's a nice relaxed rainy Sunday morning here in the Ohio River Valley.

Sure is. And you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put on my NPR voice.

Please don't. It's uh, we had a lovely baby shower yesterday. Can you take that voice off please?

I wish I could but the voice has become me now. I am become the voice. take that

I wish I could but the voice has become me now. I am become the voice. And we're so this is we're recording way ahead of time like I said it's Sunday so maybe I don't know maybe there will be big

etiquette news over the next couple days but don't be thrown off if it doesn't come

up in the show and you know to try to accommodate the shooting schedule of the my brother my brother me TV show

We're gonna give you a couple biography specials we've done one or two before we talked about av der the king of dudes and we talked about

le Petemain we talked about le Petemain in our in our max fun drive special and

this time we're talking about someone who's very near and dear to the show.

Maybe Teresa's greatest inspiration in here online,

but one of our greatest resources for this show and we reference her just about every episode,

Emily Post.

Yes.

I'm so, Emily Post is a figure to me that like I hear reference all the time I know that there have been what like 17 18 different

versions of her guide to etiquette that have come out so many more more. Really? Yes. And like I but I there's a part of me and I imagine I'm not alone in this that until we started doing this show,

assumed that she was not real, that she was like Betty Crocker.
