How you doing?
Give it up for Micah Meyer, everybody.
Hey!
There we go.
Thank you.
What a warm welcome.
Thank you so much.
I apologize for my crew co-host.
I feel like I should have put a collar on, at least.
I'm the only person without a collared shirt on right now.
Bozo.
It feels like a job application, or a job interview for me.
Micah, thank you for coming in.
Yes.
We have a lot of questions for you.
We've debated heavily over the years about what's the right thing to do, this,
that, the
other thing, and we finally have you here to guide us.
It's an honor.
I'm really excited to hear what has been going on, and you are ready for it,
dare I ask.
How did you get your start in this?
How did you get into etiquette?
It was actually out of insecurity.
I didn't grow up with etiquette at all.
You're from Florida, I saw.
I'm a Florida man.
Talk to come out classy from Sarasota.
I know.
I know.
Ma, get the good fireworks.
You know, I am a Floridian, a proud Floridian, but I didn't practice a lot of
good etiquette
back in the day, you could say.
And I was living in London.
Get it.
Contractually obligated on the show.
Hello.
And I actually, my boyfriend at the time, told me I should take an etiquette
class.
Really?
Yes, which is the last thing you want to hear from someone you're dating.
Well, the Europeans are different with the etiquette.
They're very different.
My first time over there, I got laughed at in Germany for how I hold a knife
and a fork.
Exactly.
Which is where I was.
I was in that place.
And so he suggested I take an etiquette class.
And I did.
And I kind of went kicking, screaming, didn't really want to go.
And I left.
And I was mind blown at what I learned.
And I could not wait to take another class.
Okay.
I love it.
That's, I mean, being shamed into it's pretty crazy.
I'm a University of Florida.
You should be hunting gators somewhere.
I really, I really should be.
So it was, yes.
What did your, what's your background?
What did your parents do growing up?
My, my dad is from Barbados.
My mom is from Boston.
And so we kind of grew up sailing and barefoot on boats.
Okay.
My mom, my mom's side of the family owns a construction company.
Okay.
And my dad.
And you're in etiquette.
Okay.
Yeah.
And my dad in a Marine, like a boating career.
So we didn't really, my, but they were really, you know what it was?
They, we wouldn't have real silver or anything like that, but they were very
into respect.
Okay.
It was very much like little kids would be respectful and say, yes, ma'am.
No, sir.
It was about kindness.
So I, from a young, young age, that was really ingrained, which is actually the
more important
part of etiquette.
Sure.
Of course.
So, so that's, yeah.
So I took my first etiquette course as an adult.
What did the boyfriend do at the time where you guys were running in high
circles?
Was he like high society?
You know, he, he's Swiss.
He wasn't a Peaky Blinder.
He's Swiss.
He wasn't a Peaky Blinder.
So he wasn't a Peaky Blinder, but he's Swiss.
So he's very conservative, I guess you could say in many ways.
Buttoned up.
Very buttoned up.
Yeah.
He never leaves home without a collared shirt kind of thing.
And, and so for me.
Toby, are you Swiss yet?
Yeah.
So it was a big, big difference for me.
I'm sweating so bad for this thing.
I feel like I'm wearing a full suit right now.
That's what he, yeah.
I mean, okay.
All right.
But you know the good news though?
In the end, I married him.
That's the good news.
So that's who you married?
That's your husband.
That's my husband.
Whoa.
That's my husband.
You made it seem like he was a guy you met.
You know, spring fling or something.
You're throwing pistachio shells on the floor.
I married him.
So it was, it was worth etiquette course.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Wow.
Very interesting.
Okay.
All right.
I would say, I mean, how do you want to do, how do you want to get into this?
I mean, I got a million questions for her.
Okay.
I guess, first of all, we, we tried to, you know, make the addition as nice as
possible.
We got a tablecloth for you.
I love it.
How is the setting?
What, what do you notice wrong?
What do you notice right?
And what do you notice wrong right away?
Because there was a bit of discussion over the setting.
Right.
So it, so it's actually not bad.
The only thing I would say is that the glasses are on the wrong side of the
table.
So.
They should be on the right.
They should be on the right.
They should be on your right.
I told you that.
No, you didn't.
You accept them.
No, I didn't.
I have experience in fine dining.
Okay.
But that was, that was one.
That's the first big thing.
Okay.
The, the smaller fork should be on the outside.
Just be careful.
We're going to return those.
Okay.
Just be careful.
Those would be the salad forks.
Those would be the salad forks.
And the salad fork would go on the outside.
And then otherwise it actually looks pretty good.
Okay.
I have to say.
Well, it depends.
Soup spoon?
It depends on what courses.
It depends on how many courses you're having.
So if you, if you had this many courses, then yes, you'd set this many.
We got five guys coming.
But if you just had, for example, one course, then you would just have a fork
and a knife.
You don't need all the others.
You only put down what you're going to use.
Okay.
And I feel like this is too many plates.
What do you mean?
Is that too many plates?
This is a bread plate.
So that also should be on the left, not in the middle of the plate.
Okay.
So the bread plate goes to the left.
So if you actually think, think about the car, think about BMW, bread, meal,
water, wine,
coffee, tea.
So BMW.
I didn't know that.
There you go.
I got my shit set up Beamer style.
Let me ask you this.
Okay.
You sit down at the table.
When does the napkin go over the leg?
Okay.
So if you're at a restaurant, the moment you sit, it goes on the leg.
If you're at a private home, you wait until the host or the hostess puts it on
their lap
and then you follow.
But who's got these kind of napkins at their house?
Swiss people.
Swiss people.
Not those hooligans you grew up with.
And then over the leg, right?
Over the leg.
Okay.
But here's how you do it.
There's an actual way.
You put that.
Oh, I love this episode, dude.
Okay.
Here we go.
Ready?
So you take it and then see how there's a seam.
You put the seam folded in.
Okay.
Then here we have a crease.
That crease faces your belly button like this.
My belly button?
Yep.
Yep.
So that the opening of the napkin faces away from you.
So the crease is touching your belly button.
The opening of the napkin is away from you.
What's the purpose?
Is there a purpose or is that just-
The purpose, yes.
There's always a purpose.
Put your chicken bones in there.
Sometimes in an emergency.
But here what we do is we bring the napkin up to our mouths.
We don't go down.
We bring it up to our mouths.
And then you can open it and then you hide.
You take your stains and you can hide them.
You just blew my mind.
Wait, so it doesn't go over-
So I do this and then-
I put it over my right leg.
Exactly.
But then if you wipe your mouth, then everybody sees your stains.
That's my problem is it's always very dirty.
Exactly.
It's like a murder scene if it's spaghetti.
Exactly.
And how do you feel about-
This is-
He does this sometimes.
No, no tucking.
Never?
No, never.
But I ruined so many shirts.
Not after today.
I'm going to help you.
I'm going to help you.
You're going to have to be a goddamn miracle worker for him not to ruin shirts.
I'm already rooting the table.
I'm going to try.
I'm going to try.
Okay.
So what if, you know, all right.
Let's say you're eating and there's something in, you know, a piece of cartilage,
something that you don't like.
Right.
Where does that go?
Because I'm spitting it right in there, right?
So that's an emergency etiquette scenario.
And that is when you could do that.
If you have, let's say, a sharp fish bone or something like that.
But if you are getting gristle or something like that, I think your bites are
too big.
That's the point.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
I did not make an accusation.
I did not invite you here to be accused.
So that would be, that would be, maybe I'm wrongly assuming.
But if you're getting a piece of gristle.
You're the whole T-bone bone in your mouth.
Oh, no, you're right on the money.
Yeah, you're right on the money.
So I would take, I would take smaller bites so you can feel, and when you're
cutting, you can, you can cut.
When you're cutting, you feel the gristle.
I black out if I'm being honest with you.
Can I ask you this to be total candor?
I don't know if that's the right word.
I'm trying to impress you.
I'm impressed.
My nose runs a little bit when I eat.
When you eat everything?
Yeah, I don't know why.
So a lot of times I'll do.
Yeah, what can, what?
I'll do a litt
