Join Tom and Scott as they discuss this: “Discover Magazine reports that despite the average person shaking hands nearly 15,000 times in a lifetime, one in five (19 per cent) admit they hate the act of the handshake and are unsure how to do it properly, regularly making a handshake faux pas such as having sweaty palms, squeezing too hard or holding on too long while over half the population (56 per cent) say they have been on the receiving end of an unpleasant handshake experience in the past month alone.
But help is at hand as scientists have developed a mathematical equation for the perfect handshake taking into account the twelve primary measures needed to convey respect and trust to the recipient. The research was performed at the behest of Chevrolet as part of a handshake training guide for its staff and is meant to offer peace of mind and reassurance to its customers. A full guide to the perfect handshake is available on Flickr.”
And, we get a great reader submission to boot!

Hey! Why not leave us a nice review on iTunes if you like the show?
So what was that long link you guys said you were going to put in these show notes? I’m interested.
I’m looking for that link too. Love the music.
Pretty soon “Pulling a Johnson” will no longer mean that one has mentioned something that they cannot talk about. Nay, it shall come to mean the forgetting of links and other information that is supposed to be in the show notes.
I’m getting out my screen printing kit and making “We’ll put it in the show notes.” t-shirts.
Well, I’m getting my fix at http://www.archive.org/details/audio_music
But I also came here looking for that promised link.
Shame on you Mr Johnson
Hello Scott,
Thanks for featuring my reader submission on the show. I would love to get that link that was too long to say on the show.
Thanks!

So, where are the show notes? Please! I listen while in the car and it would be most hazardous for me to try to write things down while doing 75 down the highway.
*** The crowd begins to chant Show Notes, Show Notes, Show Notes. ***
Great show guys.
Still looking for the music links. ***The chant continues. Show Notes, Show Notes ***
Enjoying the show. In spite of y’all ignoring us poor listeners.
Link? PLEASE? i LOVE that kind of music too! if you read this, please twitter scott & tom or email them about the link! We can do it!
