JD Harmeyer at Finishing School

The Stern Show let its brilliant media producer JD Harmeyer, who is more than slightly awkward when talking to (or in any way deal with) humans, pre-interview today’s guest Ryan Phillippe.

JD was not the best pre-interviewer, which, as it often does, led to Howard asking him about how he conducts himself in social situations.

JD has recently taken a girlfriend (if you’re just reading that for the first time, we’ll give you a second to catch your breath) and he’s actually headed to meet her parents soon.

Howard was amazed and asked JD to show him the simplest dinner etiquette imaginable – how to hold a knife and fork. While most children have mastered this, our JD evidently has trouble.

Just take a look.

After the show, Howard caught JD eating in his glass cage – also known as his office – and observed his technique.
