Screen Shot 2013-12-06 at 2.33.14 AMThis week, we’re joined by Johnson’s old friend Ed from New York! We discuss the Rosebowl vs the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, then our listener from Iran explains the whole Persia thing. Then we discuss the new phenomenon of Black Friday in the UK, and later, Adam Young calls in to take the quiz, and tries to guess what “affirmative action” is. Johnson, meanwhile, doesn’t even attempt to keep a “whip-round” above the waist.

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.”
