This week, it’s (American) Mother’s Day, so we discuss why British Mother’s Day happened two months ago. Also, we play a quiz Johnson invented called “Star Wars character or NFL athlete.” Then we chat about horseshoes and how customer service varies between our two nations, and later, Martin takes the quiz, and tries to guess what COBRA is, while Johnson reads a French Letter.
Oh: the Key & Peele bit we mention is here.
As a person with an ethnic name, I think some of these crazy ass names these crazy ass people give their children are out of control. I could start a whole rant on that subject, but I won’t. The funniest name i heard from the NFL draft was a guy named Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Ha’Sean is his real name, but it’s just as ratchet as “Ha Ha”. I had a giggle when the announcer called out his name when he got picked.
Loved the Jack Whitehall comedy clip and the sudden burst of singing “All Along The Watchtower”..thanks for that.
Thanks, LaToya. I’d normally edit out the helicopter interruptions, but had to leave that one in.
My sister-in-law is a teacher and got a call at home from an irate parent asking:
“Why you call my daughter Yvonne?”
S-in-law answered: “Because that’s her name?”
Angry reply: “NO!!! Her name be Why-vonee.”
TRUE story, no bull

Amazing that the kid got to school age before anyone pronounced her name the way the entire world does!
