To celebrate one year of podcasting together, David, Amy, and Producer Adam revisit their favorite segments of the past season: the funniest moments, the most embarrassing reveals…plus some thoughtful conversations. Note: The podcast will be on hiatus until September, so have a listen to our earlier episodes and we’ll be back soon.

Amy and David went transatlantic for this episode to chat with William Hanson, British etiquette expert and co-host of the hi-LAR-ious podcast "Help! I've Sexted My Boss." What starts off as a proper convo turns into a raucous free-for-all as they try to stump William with examples of bad manners. All to no avail.

Recipes mentioned in this episode:

Gavi Ravioli

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

Deep-Dish Brioche French Toast

Pickled Onions
