This week, after talking about the non-story that is Star Wars VII, we read about some misunderstandings between cultures. Later, Nish Kumar of the Peacock & Gamble podcast calls in and talks about Croydon’s role in the rise of the Dark Knight. Then he takes the quiz, and while Johnson gets “lairy,” Nish chews a thoughtful pencil trying to figure out what “arugula” is.

We’ll take this week’s episode sunny side up! We talk mostly about the bountiful options available to Americans, everything from egg style to toast type. Later, Ed Gamble (the other half of Peacock & Gamble) arrives to take the quiz, and tries to figure out “hush puppy,” “cholo” and “tchatchke.” Johnson, meanwhile, has interesting definitions of “chav,” “todger” and “swizz.” Happy Earth Day, everyone!

Our faithful listeners get in touch: first Jochen writes from Hamburg to stick it to James about Easter, Heathrow Airport and British cars, but also asks about the origins of the word “loo.” Then Laci writes from Oregon and confirms the existence of a pop record once made by Bob Gandalf. Later, Ray Peacock of Peacock & Gamble calls in to chat about Star Wars figures, comedy double-acts, and getting more lines than any of the statues in the Doctor Who episode “Blink.” He then plays the “That’s Not English” quiz, and tries to guess what a “Monte Cristo” is, while Johnson tries to decipher a “sleeping policeman.”
