DSMy wife Jennifer is co-hosting this week, so in between her criticizing my housekeeping, we talk about black & white TV, then discuss some things that Americans don’t realize are weird about their country. Then we talk about red velvet cake and the “Hotdog On A Stick” franchise and find out how British we aren’t. Later, Rob returns for a (complete this time) quiz, and tries to guess who “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” are, while Jennifer tries to figure out “dodgems.”

Oh: the food coloring story we mention is this one, and Morris Dancing is, well, this. I didn’t hallucinate it!

SnookerScott’s sitting in for Johnson this week, and I take him on a reluctant dialect journey around the UK. This somehow gets us into the state capitals (real and imagined) and why gridiron is called that. Then we talk about the upcoming Disney cricket-related film “Million Dollar Arm,” which gets us into a terrific Amex ad done by Jerry Seinfeld a while back. Then I explain the complex color-mixing rules of snooker, and finally Jon takes the quiz, trying to guess what “Duck Duck Goose” is, while Scott enjoys some “seaside rock.”
