<v Speaker 1>the Ron Burgundy podcast on wherever podcasts are available, and I,

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of course I am your host, Ron Burgundy. As per usual,

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I am joined by my producer, Carolina. Carolina. How was

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 1>your weekend? You mean last weekend? This past weekend? Yes, yes,

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I was your weekend. It was fine. I from what

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember, Oh, website, I'm sorry. You seem to be

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>thrown by the question. Should I should I not have

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>asked you how your weekend was? No, it's just that

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>it's Wednesday, and most people ask each other on Monday

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>how their weekend was. They don't wait till Wednesday. It's

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like five days. I know, but I didn't see you

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, so I'm just asking you today. How was

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>your weekend? Oh? No, it was good. So hold on.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. So I take it from what you're saying.

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>It's a crime if you know you asked someone how

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>their weekend was on a Wednesday. No exaggeration, of course,

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not a crime. It's just that if you wait

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>until Wednesday asks some one how the weekend was, and

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>it just may take some time for that person and

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>recall everything they did. Well, I'm sorry, you're wrong. I

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>just don't buy that. You know, the weekend was only

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>two days ago or five five days you're counting from Friday. Yeah,

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>it was only I mean, go ahead, go ahead, ask

<v Speaker 1>do anything else? Just went to the grocery store? Um? No,

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I did a lot of things. It was the weekend, Um,

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I oh, I know. I was Oh. I was rushed

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to that place where everyone goes. What's the place where

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.959
<v Speaker 1>everyone goes at all times of the day? Can it

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>can be in the middle of the night as well.

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like an around the clock place and it's super

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 1>busy in their doctors, and there's a lot of commotion

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and shouting. Okay, I think the emergency, yes, emergency. Yes,

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.760

<v Speaker 1>I had been bitten repeatedly by a Oh come on, ron,

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>what are they called? Did you get a dog? No?

<v Speaker 1>Smaller than that? And they don't have for no, come on,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>help me out here. Um. No, they're long, they're long,

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and they don't have feathers. A sneak, Yes, that's it. Yes, yes,

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I had gone for a hike and I I sat

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>on a on a rattlesnake when I when I came

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>back to my car, I sat on a rattlesnake who

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>was sunning himself in my car seat. And I I

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>had to take some had to take some stuff. Oh, oh,

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>for god's sake, what's the what's the medicine that stops

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the rattlesnake poison from getting into your eyeballs? Venom? Yes,

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>anti venom? And they injected it into my eyeball. Wait

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>they okay, so they injected it into the ball because

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>let me guess, the snake bit you in the eye

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>over and over again, repeatedly. Yes, so we're on. You

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>were taken to the emergency room because you sat on

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a rattlesnake who then repeatedly bait you in the face

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and eyeballs. And this was over this past weekend. Yes, exactly,

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that was my weekend. You see, you're having trouble remembering this.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>It kind of proves my point. This is a life

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>altering event. And even though it's only Wednesday, you're you're

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>not remembering that. You're absolutely right, point taken. Huh So

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line is, if it is Wednesday or beyond,

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>don't ask someone how their weekend was. I don't. Yeah,

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I get it now. Yeah, so Wednesday borderline.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't ask Monday Tuesday, Fine, you're within the zone. How

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>was your weekend? Totally Wednesday maybe not, but by Thursday Friday,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>how was your weekend? It's crazy, it's crazy because you've

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>already gone weight, you've shot way past. I would try

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>how was your night last night? Because Thursday Friday, it's

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna get confusing because it's gonna be like, how how

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was your weekend? Like you mean my weekend coming up?

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>You can always just say how are you? Mm hmm.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>That's so boring. Though, yeah, or you know, what are

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you up to today? Yeah? I guess. But what if

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>here's the problem. What if it's Thursday and I've seen

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>this person Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and I just keep

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.919
<v Speaker 1>forgetting to ask them how their weekend was, and I

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>legitimately wanted to know how their weekend was. Do I

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>just I know what. I would sit them down and go, hey,

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I know it's Thursday, and I remembered you having a

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>big weekend last weekend. I know it's four days since

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, but could you go back and just tell

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>me how your weekend was. That's it, That's it. I

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>figured it out. Good, Thank you, Carolina. I mean, yeah,

0:05:52.200 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome. Mhm. Shakespeare, what Buckingham, Las, Tower of London, England,

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>fish and chips, the English language? What do all these

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>things have in common? That's right, they came from England,

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you said? Caroline? I find England and

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>all things English to be utterly fascinating, and thus Lee

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I have chosen England as the topic of today's show.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 1>We've all studied England in the history books, and much

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of it is embedded in our brains, and yet some

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>facets of England are as mysterious as the secrets contained

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>in the famous pagan structure known as Stone Hinged. Over

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the centuries, many groups of people have ruled over the

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>island nation. Whether it was the Vikings, the Visigoths, the Romans,

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the Normans or Norman lear some one has always been

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>knocking on England's door. Finally, King Arthur and the Knights

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of the round Table said enough is enough. They kicked

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>everyone out, gave Henry the Eighth the Turkey Leg, and

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest, as they say, a stray Wait, we didn't

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>get that. What did you say? The rash aka? The

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>rest is history. We got it. Now's a good time

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>to go take a peep. We gotta take a commercial

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>break today. We are so fortunate to be joined by

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>two people who are actual subjects of the Commonwealth, so

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>we can take a deeper dive into all things England.

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna start with you if you don't mind, and

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>would you please tell the listeners your name. Hello, my

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>name is Adrian, and they keep heaving me well. Adrian,

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you for taking time to join us here on

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the rund Burgundy Podcast. This is Carolina, Hi nice. Let

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>me let me start by asking you this. When you

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>think of England, what comes to mind? You know, I

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>think of I think of so many different things. I

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>think of the birthplace of constitutional monarchy. I think of

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>industrial revolution, colonialism. Yes, one of the greatest empires the

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>world has ever seen. And then the fall of that empire,

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>England has made I mean astounding contributions to literature and

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 1>music and technology and the rule of law. I mean,

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the list really is in list, it really is. It

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>really is. Um. It's a fascinating place of fascinating culture. Um.

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Was was London home to you? No? I wish um.

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>When I was younger, you know, we were lucky enough

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to visit London and later I did go to university there.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like I know it well. Interesting? So, um,

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>so you didn't live in London. Where where did you

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>grow up? Okay? And where is Auckland. It's in the

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>North Island. Oh that's right, that's right. I knew that.

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I love the North Island. I mean, sorry, never mind,

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 1>keep growing. I love it. I love the North Island.

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>It's beautiful there, lovely. Yes. And let's see I've been there. Oh,

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>oh you have been. That's great. But yeah, I took

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.599
<v Speaker 1>the train. Took the train from London and it's beautiful countryside.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just gorgeous. There's there's no train from London. Well,

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>sure there is, yes, because I took it. I took

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it right into Auckland station. I took it from Paddington

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and about the ticket and I said, straight to Auckland.

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>So oh you know the distance technically from from London

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to Auckland. Ess, Actually it's a living thousand miles. Eleventh, Wait,

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>what part of England are you from? Well, I'm not

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>from any path of England, from New Zealand. You've got

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to be kidding me, Carolina. Sorry, this is actually I

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>just found her in the hallway and she sounded really British. Well,

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually can't blame you at all. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry.

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>We're just going to turn off your mic and then

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you can get out of here. Okay, okay, okay, um,

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>now I'll turn my attention to you over here. What

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>is your name and are you from England? My name

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>is b and yes I am from England. Okay, great,

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 1>this is Carolina. Did you know the other woman who

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>was in here? I've never seen that woman before. Okay,

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>did you know she was not English. Absolutely, Really, you're

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>not just saying that she sounded nothing like an English person.

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like how a deer knows that a dog is

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 1>not a deer. I guess sounds crazy to me. What

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.040
<v Speaker 1>where do you live now? Do you still live in

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>England or do you just visit? And I live in

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, California. I get back to England probably every year.

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Stuck upon Yorkshire tea essential very good? And what part

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of England is that? Exactly? So Yorkshire is in the

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>north of England and I'm from a city called Bradford City.

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Just celebrate Christmas in is it? It's extra Christmas Eve there?

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be. It's not known for festivities. Are

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys against Christmas? Is there a war on Christmas

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>there in Bramford, Braford? Yeah? I guess it gets a

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>little festive. It's it's a mixing part of cultures, so

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>we celebrate anything and everything, right, wonderful, wonderful. How would

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you describe the English accent? Well, I think there's about

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and fifty different English dialects. There can't be

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>someone does a study for you, just making that up?

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>But seriously, how many how many dialects. Well, let's let's

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>say a hundred and sixty. Oh, well, you can't go up.

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I think on last check on Google it was a

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty. I'm very interested in this kind of

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>thing because my dialects quite unusual. You might, I think

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 1>it just sounds a little bit confusing. That's because you know,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>when you're from England, you could live like a mile

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>away from someone and sound completely different. Right. Well, and

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>do do you often get mistaken for being from New Zealand? Yes?

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.719
<v Speaker 1>I get mistaken for New Zealand Australian, South African. I've

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>been asked if English is my first language, and it

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely being from England. Yes, right, kind of invented it.

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>We get it, Carolina, What were you going to say? Oh?

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I actually was going to ask if English was your

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>first language, and it's always been your first language always?

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you do know any other languages? Do you know

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>New Zealand? I haven't studied New Zealand. It's not a language,

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just a dialect because they speak English in New Zealand.

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Our first guess really really through me. And I'm sorry

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>for not being professional, but thank you for hanging in

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>there with us today. Let me ask you this, why

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>is English food so bad? I mean, I happen to

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>like it, but for a lot of people they say,

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you've heard the old saying. I'm sure if you're going

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to visit England packed two suitcases, one filled with your

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>clothes and one filled with sandwiches, why why is English

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>food so bad? I think English food is very practical.

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>So England is kind of just like this cold, rocky

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>island in the middle of the sea. So the food

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>is really about it being kind of studgy, keeping you warm,

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>keeping you full, rather than like a culinary experience. Studgy. Yes,

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I like that word because we don't have that word

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>over here. I'm just gonna get that down. Write down

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that word Carolina stodgy, and I'll use it in my

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>speech tomorrow at the community Center. I didn't know, but

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you're okay. It's in my book, it's in the calendar, okay. Um.

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever drink mead or ale both regularly? When

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I turned toty, I decided I was going to get

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>into stout. Oh stout that now, that's the heavier of

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the beers, right, call him, I'm sorry, are you bullying me? Right?

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Now I haven't drunk any stout today. Very professional. Now,

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>mead meat is a a alcoholic beverage. It is considered

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a beer, or is it. It's considered to be a

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>regularly drunk of a horn. And there's chunks of flesh

0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in it. No flesh, just so it's not like a

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>soupy broth. No, okay, no, nothing like a broth. Actually, um,

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I know Harry Potter is a movie, right, that's a given. Yes,

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>we got that. It's in fact, it's a wonderful movie.

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>One of the reviews I read said it was stodgy,

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that's how good it is. I can't believe you read

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 1>those reviews, Carolina. You know I read all the movie reviews.

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I know. I just feel like Harry Potter. It's like

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 1>reading the book review for Harry Potter. Anyway. Um so,

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Harry Potter, it's a movie. But some of the magic

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>has to be real, you know, it had just has

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to be I mean, what do you think do do

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>do most people carry wands in England in case of

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>an emergency? No? English people are very sensible. Doesn't really

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>no magic. I definitely didn't think people carry ones, right,

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>although our passports, do you have unicorns on them, so

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>there is that. Well, those are conflicting because because the

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>unicorn is a magical creature. Exactly do do you go?

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I know in the English countryside there are the old

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>fox and hound, the fox runs where you hunt for foxes.

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Um do they ever hunt for unicorns? Is that why

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it's on the passport? There's no unicorn hunt to my knowledge,

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think they streak sticked vaicely to fox hunting

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>because the first thing I do when I visit London

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is I order it unicorn steak and get a big

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>flagon of mead Ron just read the Harry Potter books

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and loved them as we all loved them. I loved

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, but hogwarts. Um, there is a word that

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the English use. How do I get into this? Just

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>dive in Ron. It starts with a sea and rhymes

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>with punt. Going to ask this, okay, sorry, is it

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>okay for Americans to use it? Promise me you will

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>never use that word. I'm just asking because you go,

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, you walk around the streets of London and

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 1>it's you hear it every five seconds. It does get

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>used liberally, but it's okayful Lindon, because they have the accent,

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>so why can't we use it here? Not that I

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>want to use it. I'm just more of a sociological

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>linguistic study. I think the official answer would just be

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.919
<v Speaker 1>like it isn't anyone else is to take It's a

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>very specific RN. You called me that yesterday when I

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.360
<v Speaker 1>was late. No, but I said, let's imagine we're in England,

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 1>right and you were late I know, so therefore it

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 1>was legal in a way. I shouldn't have called you that.

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. The movie American Werewolf in London was quite

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.199
<v Speaker 1>a hit. Um did it cause mass hysteria in the

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 1>streets of London? I think even there it was a movie.

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>People could tell a difference. So no hysteria and no

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>no reported sightings of wewelves in London, is Isle swhere

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>in England. Oh so there was not that the werewolf

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>sightings didn't increase, because that's the research I had done. No,

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>one time in my hometown there was a rat that

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>was as big as a dog. Maybe that was confused.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Maybe people thought the giant rat was a werewolf exactly. No,

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I want you to be honest with me, is this

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 1>is this a good British accent, and I can take

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 1>criticism and just be as brutally honest as you need

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 1>to be. I'm just shining of a shade im and

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I live in foggy London town. That is not truth

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 1>for accent, you don't know what you're talking about. Maybe

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.880
<v Speaker 1>saying more because that one was we couldn't even pick

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that up. Really well, I'm a shine of a shade

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I am, and I live in folly landon down Yeah.

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.359
<v Speaker 1>You would not get into Downton a be with that

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of By the way, we'll keep working on it.

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Downton Abbey. Ah, why did they end it? It could

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 1>have gone on forever as far as I was concerned,

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:31.199
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be a movie? Really yeah? I think so?

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Will they have wands? I don't think there's a magical

0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>element to Downton Abbey. It's very serious, it's very accurate.

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 1>I found it so fascinating, and I think we'll always

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>be interested in how the other half lives, right, meaning

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>like downstairs, Yes, between the rich people and the working class.

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean they pull their pants on one leg at

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 1>a time, just as everyone else does. Right. Yeah, No,

0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that's beautiful. I live in down gen Aby, I do

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:08.400
<v Speaker 1>next stop Downey. That was better. I think I'm getting better.

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it needs work. Mhmm. Here's a political question.

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Are you happy that England let America go? I mean,

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I think given the distance between England and America, they

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>were already quite separate. Yeah, but there is a part

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of every British subject who ruses the day when comes around,

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they're like, oh gosh, and we're just we're just we're

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>eating corn on the cub and lighting fireworks that the

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Brits aren't like, we let that one get away. We

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 1>have our own firework day on the fifth of November. Well,

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not a competition. Were kind of over it. You

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.200
<v Speaker 1>don't have to yell at me or those your real teeth.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>These are my real teeth. Now you have wonderful teeth.

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 1>These are actually my baby teeth. I don't know if

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a British thing, but I've only ever had one

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>set of teeth. They could fall out any minute. Ron,

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that's so crazy. Ron only has his baby. I only

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 1>have my baby teeth. Well, maybe you have British Maybe

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:25.880
<v Speaker 1>these are wow wow, m what are you doing after

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the show? I'm sorry, let's just keep going. They referred

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister, as the Iron Lady.

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>But she the Iron Lady was just a that was

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>just a title she got from her her strong leadership.

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 1>There's there's no part of her that's made of iron,

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Like she didn't have like an iron implant putting her

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>leg or anything like that. That's a good question. No,

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there was any part that was made

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>of metal, more like she had metal. But you said

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a good question. So we don't know for sure.

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen an X ray of micro facher should we?

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 1>But is that something people are talking about in England

0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to give her a full body skin to make sure

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't have parts of iron in her body. I

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen that being discussed. But you do raise an

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:22.360
<v Speaker 1>interesting question. Until now, it hasn't been discussed, hasn't been discussed. Well,

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it's called good journalism, that's what it's called. Yeah, um,

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. This was just a simply fascinating discussion.

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think I think you've answered almost all the

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:41.679
<v Speaker 1>questions I had. Caroline, did you have any anything you

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.360
<v Speaker 1>know what? The girl from New Zealand needs a write

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:52.120
<v Speaker 1>home Tinny Zealand. Oh no, no, no, think I don't

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:58.360
<v Speaker 1>unless there's a bridge that goes there. It's eleven thousand miles.

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Come on, she just seems right to look awake, got it,

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>no problem, practically the same anyway. Be amazing, Thank you,

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 1>thank you for your time, Thank you for having me.

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back after this important announcement. Well, Carolina,

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that was a fascinating show. Let's uh, let's do our

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 1>fact check. How do we do? Okay? Um, stonehenge right, stonehenged?

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Stonehenge is actually how it's pronounced. And what did I say,

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>stonehenge unhinged? Stone hinged? That's not the way you say exactly,

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.120
<v Speaker 1>okay um. And then I just we've poked some holes

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>in the rattlesnake story, so we just want to get okay.

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we covered it very good, as my mother

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 1>would say, all in all, not bad. This is Ron

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Burgundy reminding you that only you can prevent forest fires

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 1>unless there is lightning that strikes a remote part of

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the wilderness, and then it's all the animal's fault for

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 1>failing to be vigilant until next time. So long, everybody,

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.240
