  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Here's the world's most famous etiquette coach, William Hanson, is
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: joining us live on air. You can listen to both
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of his podcasts, by the way. I want to know
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: about this one. Help, I sexted my boss and the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: luxury podcast. Wherever you get your pods.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Hello, mate.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Hi, William.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Hello, Beau. Thank you for having me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And thank you for coming on. You began teaching etiquette
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: at a very young age. What was your attraction to etiquette?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Why did you get into it?
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm just quite uptight, so really it sort of
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: naturally just came to me. Granny gave me a book
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: of etiquette when I was 12 for Christmas because I
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: was quite a precocious child, apparently. Hard to believe. And
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: I thought it was quite fun. And I didn't want
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: to play rugby at school. And so I was looking
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: for an excuse of what to do. And they said,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: would you like to come teach the young years how
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: to set a table? This is one of the members
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: of staff. I said, oh, yeah, all right, I'll do
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: that if I don't need to play rugby. And 20
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: years later, no one stopped me.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: It's still going for you. In your opinion, what is
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the rudest thing someone can do?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, look, I don't mind if people haven't read any
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: of my books, seen any of my videos, gone to
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: etiquette school, whatever. If you just don't say please and
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: thank you, that annoys me more than anything else.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Have you got.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: To do both? Because it's so basic. Can I just
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: say thank you instead of please? Or have I got
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to say both in a conversation? Absolutely you do, Mikey.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Well done, Amy. Fine colours already.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: William, I am already– my mum is English and my
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: dad is Aussie, but he liked to try to raise
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: me with very big, big manners and I was always taught–
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: to stand up straight with my shoulders back and my
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: chest out. And he taught me how to eat with
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the right cutlery. He always said, I will raise you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: so that if you ever have dinner with the queen
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: one day, you will know the right table manners. Never
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: put your elbows on the table.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I'm doing that right now. Oh, I've got to get
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: them off. I don't need adequate training.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I've actually been in training my entire life.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, Amy, we're going to see in a moment about you,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: all right? So don't get too antsy there. What about, okay,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: let's talk about some everyday situations. So let's say you're
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: on a dinner date. What is something incredibly rude someone
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: could do?
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Um, I think, well, I think on any sort of date,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: not asking questions about the other person, you're there, you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: it's not an interview per se, but you want to
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: be interested in them. You don't want to just talk
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: about yourself. You should ask questions about them. They should
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: ask questions about you. And in terms of, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: what you're eating, if you're going to go out for
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: dinner for date one or two, just pick something straightforward.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: You might think, oh, I'd love to have the spaghetti. Well,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: if you can't eat spaghetti beautifully, just go back and
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: And have it on your own when you can relax
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and have the spaghetti.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Just pick something straight forward.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Burgers are a no-go on a first date, right?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, it's so unattractive eating a burger, eating
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: with your hands and it all flopping out your mouth and,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It's not very nice.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you might bet you eat a burger with a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: knife and fork, don't you?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Deconstructed?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It has been known. It has been known.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I did a video a while ago on my social
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: media on how to eat a burger with a knife
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and fork. You know, a big proper burger, not like
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: a takeaway burger from McDonald's or something. And I don't
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: think they'll let me back into America.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: What about a meat pie? Very famous in Australia. We
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: love our meat pies. I bet you're doing that with
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a knife and fork as well, whereas we just hold
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: it in our hands.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in the foil.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: What the dickens is a meat pie?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: What's the dickens? I'm sure like most things here in Australia,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it originated in Britain. It's basically minced meat in a pastry,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: like a pie. The Pom is one of our producers here.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just, you know. No. I'm just looking at it now.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I'm Googling it. It just looks, we'll just call it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a pie and you eat that with your hands.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we eat it with our hands.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You usually get them from bakeries, local country bakeries, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: you squirt a little bit of tomato sauce on and
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you just, you either eat it out of the paper
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: bag or the little tin foil that it comes. It
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: is very messy though. You would absolutely hate it, William.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to Australia?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: No, I haven't.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm desperate to come.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: We were potentially going to come this year with my podcast,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: but for various.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Reasons, we're not.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I would love to– I'd love for you to come
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: and I'd love to get your take on how you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: think the Australian culture, you know, does with their manners
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and stuff because, I mean– I think we're a really
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: friendly bunch. I think we're very open to meeting new
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: people and making new friends. And I think the manners
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: are still there, but they're very casual. You get a
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: slap on the back and there's some C-bombs dropped.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel about that, like just dropping
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the C-word in public? Oh, mate.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You mean common?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Common.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Basically.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel about that?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: No, the C word for me is common. Right. And, yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and there's no other word.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What's your perception of Aussies? I know you haven't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: been here, but, you know, I'm sure that you've met
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: plenty in your life. Do you think we.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Have your manners or not? Yes, you're everywhere, aren't you?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: We are.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: We're definitely popular in the UK.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I would....
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say you are very friendly. I think
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: you're much friendlier than, let's say, Americans, if we're comparing
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Brits with Americans versus Australians. I think you get our
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: sense of humour more than the Americans. But yes, you're
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: sort of like us in Britain, but far, far, far
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: too relaxed.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Right, a little too relaxed. Hey, what about some of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the girls here on the team admitted to going to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the bathroom, doing a number two with the door open
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: in front of their partner. He's offended. But I want
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to know your thoughts on that. I know Nat, our producer,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is admitted to defecating with the door open. Yeah, I'm
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: proud of it. Yeah, proud of it. Yeah, what do
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you think about that?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Horrified. Well, I think she should be deported. Where will
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I be sent?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I'm from here.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess... You see, in our country, we'd send
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: people to Australia. I don't know what we'd... We'll have
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to send it to the middle of the country.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Take them back to England. Hey, good on you, mate. Now,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: stick around. We have Amy here. I have noticed you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: started sitting up properly. Yeah, what do you mean?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Sit normally.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I sit like this all the time.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And are you sitting with your feet crossed again like
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you always do? I'm sitting cross-legged. Oh, you are? Okay.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Hang around. We want you to judge Amy and see
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: how ladylike she is, okay? We're going to do that next.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I can turn it on and off. I want you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to be yourself in front of William.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Don't bung it on.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Of course, I'm being myself right now.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: We're doing that next with the world-famous etiquette expert, William Hanson,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: right here on KISS. Good morning. And we have world-famous
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: etiquette expert, William Hanson, joining us now. You think you're
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a proper lady, Amy. William is about to judge you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I believe he has a series of questions for you,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: but you're not rough. You're not a... I'm like a.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: What are those animals that can mould to their environment? Chameleons?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Chameleons, yes.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: So in William's company, I can be an absolute lady, yes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, right.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: When William is not here and it's just you and
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you're an absolute bogan, I can.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: You can bung it on. Yeah, right. And your dad,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you were saying when you were growing up and mum
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: were quite strict?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: My mum and dad are very strict and they are
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: very big on manners. Please, thank you. I always had
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to call every adult by their last name. So Mr.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: It would be Mr. Hanson or Mrs.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah. William's loving this, I'm sure. And you
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: were talking about the elbows. Is that really a thing, William?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Can you not put your elbows on the table?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, don't do that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: It's very hard to eat, to be honest, with the
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: elbows on the table, and it looks unsightly even when
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: there's no food. I mean, it goes back to the
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: medieval times where tables were very insecure. They weren't tables
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: like we have today, and so food was balanced very
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: carefully on the table. And so if you put your
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: elbows on the table, it would tip, and the food
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: would go everywhere, which is why you don't do that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you want to judge, Amy, mate? I'm going
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to let you take it away. You've stalked her socials,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I believe, so you know all about her.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. I feel like- Yes. You like having your hair done,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: which is nice, don't you? I do. I do. Yes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Which is gorgeous. You've got lovely hair.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's looking lovely on you. Thank you. Okay.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: So let's pretend that person, although your father used to
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: say the queen, it's now obviously the king, was coming
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: over to Australia- how would you greet him as an Australian?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: What would you do?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I would say, well, depending on what day, time of
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the day it was, I would say, good morning, Mr. Charles.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Wait, what's his last name? Charles. No, no, keep going.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Do what you do.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And I would say, could I invite you in for
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: a cup of tea?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: William?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Right. Yes. No. Okay, start the car.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Start the car.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would just say, good morning, Your Majesty. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say Mr Charles.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Mr, okay. Thank you very much.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Is there anything, I dread to ask this question, Amy Darling,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: but is there anything physical that you would do when
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: meeting the king?
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I would give him a handshake and curtsy at the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: same time.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You said handshake.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Lovely, good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yes. A very firm handshake, nothing flappy or soft like
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: how Mikey says.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Likes to handshake.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That's not true.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It would be a very firm, yes, handshake. Throw it
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: on me.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's very nice. Let's sort of go domestic now.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Let's forget members of the royal family. You're going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: someone's house for dinner.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yes. What would you turn up to? up with, if anything?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, I never turn up to anyone's house with nothing.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I would always bring over either a salad or dessert
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and always a bottle of wine for the house, whoever's hosting.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's nice.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I would say bottle of wine, fine, or champagne, chocolates,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: all lovely. I wouldn't turn up with a dessert or
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: a salad unless the host has specifically asked you to
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: bring that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to offend them, are you, if they've
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: been preparing food?
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I might have been doing Spotted Dick all afternoon,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: and if you then turn up with something, it's a
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: pudding that we have here.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, right, right. Yeah. And you have meat pies, for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: God's sake. You're in no position to judge other countries' cuisine.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: LAUGHTER Yes.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: So, you know, if you then turn up, I then
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: feel obliged to then actually serve your dessert when I've done,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Spotted a trifle.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: And with your table setting, when you've set the lovely table,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: if you're hosting your own dinner for us, we're all
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: coming around to yours. Which side does each person's bread
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: plate go? The left hand side of the place setting
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: or the right hand side?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: The left.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Correct. Oh, well done.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's like talking to the Princess of Wales.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you, William. Is she dead? Is that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the other one?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: No, the Princess. No. No, Catherine.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, right. Yes, yes. Diana was the Princess of Wales, yeah?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: She was.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've had many Princesses of Wales in history, yes,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: but the current one is Catherine.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about spitting? I see a lot
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of men just walk around on the street and just...
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, I prefer to swallow.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: William Hanson. We love that. You can listen to both
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: of his podcasts. Help, I sexted my boss. What is
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: that one all about, by the way?
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I should just say, I mean, I don't have
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: a boss. I am freelance. And I mean, I was
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: single for many years, but I was never that lonely.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: So I haven't, this is not, it's not autobiographical, that title.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: It is a podcast where my Bogan friend, to use
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: your vernacular, Jordan and I, he's a radio presenter in
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the UK. He and I, it's an agony art podcast.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: He comes from his walk of life. I come from mine.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: We're best friends in real life. We've known each other
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: for quite some time. and we present our life experience
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: to solve listeners' dilemmas.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, I love it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: The Luxury Podcast is the other one, wherever you get
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: your pods. William Hanson, great to have you on, mate.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Good on you.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: So nice chatting.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mikey. Thank you, Amy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks, William. William Hanson, world-famous etiquette coach there. Our nut
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: has got a hit of celeb news coming up for us. Yeah,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: he is, isn't he? I prefer to swallow. Yes, and
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I like spotted dick. I love that ending from him.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: What is spotted dick?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He said it was a pudding.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that? That's what he said. I'm going to Google.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Have we got a problem with a pom? I've asked
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: him a series of questions. He's just on the phone
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: actually working. Yeah. Talking to the listeners, you know.
• 13:03
