In today’s episode, we’re raising a glass to a skill most of us fake our way through: giving a toast. Not the bread kind. The stand-up-and-say-something-that-sounds-wise kind. Because let’s be honest - most people either ramble, cry too early, or quote movies no one in the room has seen. (And yes, The Notebook still doesn’t count.). We’re unpacking the real art of the toast - why it matters, how it became a cultural flex, and what makes one land without triggering secondhand embarrassment. Along the way, we’ll break down famous toasts that crushed, cringe ones that flopped, and give you templates you can actually use. This episode is equal parts etiquette, storytelling, cultural history, and ego management. So whether you’re trying to impress your boss, honor a friend, or just not make it about yourself for once - grab your Prosecco, steady your voice, and let’s get toasting.
