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. So please do that. Thank you so much. And now let's start the show. Let's get in it. Hey everybody, it's Nick. And it's Leah. Real quick thing before we get going, we are still on a holiday break, but don't worry, we are back next week with an all new episode. As you listen to this episode, I am driving across the United States of America with my dog.

And I am not doing that.

But we don't want to leave you empty handed this week, and so we picked the perfect episode from the archive just for you.

Yes, on this week of celebrating the new year and happy new year.

Indeed.

Wishing you all the best.

We're bringing out, I think, Nick's most popular metaphor.

I know that it has changed how I visualize social situations, the reseating people in the theater.

Yes, it is definitely the thing we probably get the most email, letters, DMs about. And it definitely helps me. So hopefully it helps other people. I visualize people being walked out of my theater. It's so helpful. And also on a positive side, you can reseat people to the front of your theater because they've just done the most wonderful thing in the whole world. Oh, yeah. You can absolutely bring people up on stage. Also, this has a great question in it. I still think about this letter writer about how they stopped volunteering at a clothing donation center and people just continued to show up at their workplace and drop clothes on their desk. Yeah, like, oh, here's garbage for you to deal with. I don't work there anymore. Oh, that's okay. You can figure it out. You'll figure it out. No worries. Yeah, thank you so much. Bye. What? Yeah, that's, I love how outrageous that is. Unbelievable. So enjoy that. And enjoy the start to the new year. We hope it's off to a great start. We miss you very much, And we can't wait to be back with you next week. And now, let's start the show.

Let's get in it.

Do you put crumpled money in red envelopes?

Do you lie about your party plans?

Do you give people your garbage?

Re-raised by wolves?

Let's find out.

Here are things that can make it better when we have to live together.

We can all use a little help so people don't ask themselves,

where are you raised by wolves.
