Hello everyone, I'm Rico Galeano.

And I'm Brendan Francis Nuneum, and welcome to another How to Behave edition of the Dinner

Party Download.

That's right.

To celebrate the release of our new book, Brunch is Hell, How to Save the World by

Throwing a Dinner Party, we are revisiting the segment of our show that gave rise to it

in the first place, the etiquette segment.

Yes, each week listeners send in their questions about how to behave, which we would then pose to famous people.

And the main thing we learned is that a lot of unique guidance about how to act like adults.

Oh, my God.

So we decided to do our small part by writing a how-to guide for throwing dinner parties. AKA recess for adults, as we call it.

And, yeah, as a sort of companion to the book, we have compiled some of our favorite etiquette segments.

This week, it is our celebrity edition featuring guests like movie star Cameron Diaz and everyone's favorite drag queen, RuPaul.

But first up, Sir Ian McKellen, the master the lesbian known for his roles as Gandalf and the Lord favorite drag queen, Rupal. But first up, Sir Ian McKellen,

the master Thesbian known for his roles as Gandalf and the Lord of the Rings,

and Magneto and X-Men, RICO posed him our first listener question.

Here's something from Joe in Dublin, Ireland.

Yes, well, you have two problems.

You have to attend the person sitting down or maybe standing up to let you go by,

and the person in the row in front.
