BigLeagueChewIt’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, so naturally we chat about St. George’s and St. David’s Days, along with Marie Curie and wheelie bins. Then we get to the previously overlooked Fat (Shrove) Tues (Pancake) Day, and people who smear dirt on themselves on Ash Wednesday. Listener Beth clears up chaw and dip, and we discuss synesthesia and Big League Chew – both, amazingly, real things. Later, Lil & Ryan take the quiz and try to figure out what an “October Surprise” is, while Johnson inserts a “Rawlplug” where the sun doesn’t shine. Sigh.

Patty_OBrienSt. Patrick’s Day is here, but in the interest of fairness, we talk about all four patron saints of the UK. We also discuss our Irish voiceover guy, and James does an impression of his French teacher who was, well, Irish. Listener Todd writes in with a question, and later, Cocker takes a kid-themed “That’s Not English” quiz; he tries to guess what a “noogie” is, while Johnson ponders something called “Knock Down Ginger.”
