Greetings From Merryland

Play

Maryland-postcardThis week, Johnson gets a letter from listener Chris about race codes used by the police, and I get one from Andrea with a list of midwestern words in it. Then, fitness trainer and award-winning blogger Claire McGill calls in, and we chat about everything from drive-thru banking to exercise positions which are, bizarrely, named after Mexican food. Later, Sam takes the quiz, and tries to guess what a John Deere might be, while Johnson tries to identify his wedding tackle.

Claire still finds the humor in everything which is great! I remember when I first got here and a man came up to me at a party and said ‘Hi I’m Randy.’ And I said ‘Why are you telling me?’ And since then i have been lost in translation

    translation
    UK randy = US sexually aroused
