I'm David Ferrier in New Zealand accidentally marooned in America and I want to figure out what makes this country tick.

Now often on the show we tackle really big things that make America puzzling to me as an outsider.

Tipping, flags, Thanksgiving. that make America puzzling to me as an outsider.

Tipping, flags, Thanksgiving, laundromats, school cafeterias,

and the ridiculously high level of water in the toilet bowl.

But each day I'm faced with other smaller mysteries things that are treated as normal in day-to-day life here when being anything but normal.

What I took my shoes off? Of course I took my shoes off.'ve been going through old audio of this show and found a bit

where me Dax and Monica are talking at a Thanksgiving party. We were recording episode 28, Thanksgiving.

And I just noticed that we're in somebody else's house and I was the only one who had taken

my shoes off at the front door.

That's something I've been thinking about a lot since I've been in America,

and I'm glad you raise it.

I always take my shoes off indoors.

I've noticed most people, like everyone here right now is wearing shoes except me.

Yes a lot of houses prefer shoes off so you're doing the right thing.

Once I saw Bria had her shoes on, I was like, let's party.

Monica told me her take on taking shoes off at a dinner party.

I don't.

Dex agreed.

If someone did that in my house, I'd be like, you're too comfy.

It falls under the farting category.

Like I want someone to feel comfortable enough to fart around me.
