My wife Jennifer is co-hosting this week, so in between her criticizing my housekeeping, we talk about black & white TV, then discuss some things that Americans don’t realize are weird about their country. Then we talk about red velvet cake and the “Hotdog On A Stick” franchise and find out how British we aren’t. Later, Rob returns for a (complete this time) quiz, and tries to guess who “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” are, while Jennifer tries to figure out “dodgems.”
Oh: the food coloring story we mention is this one, and Morris Dancing is, well, this. I didn’t hallucinate it!
C’mon Tim – refers to the British pro tennis player Tim Henneman, who always did better at Wimbledon than at other tournaments, so he would get British hopes up every year, only to be shot down
BTW I know this and I American
We here in the Midwest also call bumper cars Dodgems.
You’re officially more British than me!
I’m playing show catchup after 3 weeks. Loved Jen on the show..she’s soooo nice! 🙂 before I found out what red velvet was, I thought it was strawberry flavored cake. Nope. It’s chocolate, and it’s pretty damn tasty. If I’m not mistaken, Wetherspoons is a brewery, and some of the time, the brewery owns the pub, and its name is somewhere on the signage along with the actual name of the pub. I saw a couple Wetherspoons pubs while in That London. Hot Dog on a Stick. Wow. 80s memories. Chick Fil-A reminds me of Hot Dog on a Stick, because they were only inside mall food courts. Hot Dog on a Stick’s lemonade was good. Loved the show as usual..I had a giggle when y’all said “Daddies Sauce”..haha! On to the next episode, because insomnia has taken over…
