Pot Pourri

vintage_potpourri_pomanderAnother crazy meandering show: we talk about Hawaii, everything from roosters to centipedes; then how my supposedly spayed golden retriever went into heat, which leads to a discussion on our porn names; we briefly discuss the twitter hashtag #americansvsbritish, then we catch up on listener mail: Helen writes about christmas crackers, which somehow gets us into Roger Moore attacking a snake with hairspray. Latoya also writes about christmas crackers, which somehow gets us into Kinder eggs and Michael Caine’s eyelashes. Then Jochen gets in touch to ask us to decode a song lyric, and to have a little dig about the USA vs Germany football match. Happy New Year, everyone!

That’s Hawaiian for “Merry Christmas,” people! In this, our final show of 2013, we eat mince pies, discuss everything from aprés ski to Hawaii to ugly sweater parties, ponder why Americans call snack bars “concession stands,” reminisce about sharing confined spaces with smokers, pull christmas crackers, and I give Johnson another gift. Thanks for listening in 2013, and we’ll see you all next year!
