Scousers and Brummies and Mancs

Play

It’s all about the wacky world of dialects this week. After learning how a scotsman would say “Pittsburgh,” and hearing a phrase that midwesterners can’t say properly, Johnson attempts to identify a variety of British regional accents and (spoiler alert) fails miserably. Later, Jon and Marie call in to play “That’s Not English” and learn that a sweep can be something other than Dick Van Dyke singing Chim Chim Cher-ee. Happy new year, everyone!
