Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and Jerry's here, too, keeping us proper. And this is Stuff You Should Know, the Sit Up Straight edition.
I got to say, after researching this, I am a big fan of Emily
Post. Yeah, she's a surprisingly cool person, especially for somebody who literally wrote a book on etiquette.
Yeah, I didn't know much about any of this. And now I'm like, I want to know about her number one fan. I'm sure there's one person on planet Earth that likes her more than me. Sure.
Maybe number two, we'll say. Three. All right. But yeah, still a big fan. Are you going to buy the book, the blue book?
I mean, I probably should. I'm sure it goes to something like her foundation or I want to support her financially still
years after her
passing.
That'll do it. I know that I read some think pieces on people who went and read that book and were like lessons I learned from reading this book. And it's pretty much roundly described as lovely, charming. Yeah. And also useful still, because one of the things that set her apart is. Because of the way she approached etiquette and rules of etiquette and how to learn social graces, it was like a progressive way of doing it. So she was able to basically say, this is what's really important. So a lot of the stuff that she talks about is completely applicable today. Yeah.
Some might say, more so.
Yeah, more needed for sure.
Yeah, so, I mean, they had etiquette guides for sure. It's not like she, even though, you know, you might commonly hear people say she literally wrote the book on etiquette. She did, but she wrote one of the many books on etiquette. Hers was a little bit different than the others in a lot of ways, you know, that we're going to talk about kind of here and there. But one of the big ways is she was all about ethics. And as we'll see, you know, we're going to detail her life. She was born into money, but she was basically like, hey, listen, just because you have money doesn't mean that you are respectable. You have to have a grounding in ethics no matter who you are. And if you don't have money and if you're, you know, not born into like a great family or something, then that doesn't mean you can't be a part of what she called good society.
You just have to know like ethics. You have to be grounded in ethics and how to know like how to keep a clean house and how to behave with manners.
