Lost In Translation Courtney Patrick

You've heard what the Americans want to know about the British, but what are the British curious about? We talk all things guns in Walmart, "British" food aisles, butter and a load of other nonsense as our Brummie guest asks the real questions we all need the answers to.

If you didn't know, when people say something in the UK, they rarely often mean the literal translation. For an American abroad, the workplace has its own set of language you have to understand to make it out alive. I bring on guest Jodie Williams as we discuss working in the UK and what Brits really mean by the common phrases they say. Enjoy!

This week is an "emergency" episode due to technical issues with the recording of a previous podcast. So, Courtney fills in for Tom spilling the tea on what shopping is like in the UK. If you've ever heard, "Europeans buy everything from their local butcher, baker, greengrocer, etc." then you're going to want to get the truth on this topic. Another look into the day to day of living in the UK. 

It's the first question we get asked, and it makes sense being that it's not every day a South Louisiana girl and Nuneaton boy should find each other in the world. Find out who said "You have such a beautiful soul" on the first date, how Courtney managed to get 2 boys to buy her drinks on the night they met and how Tom apparently pulled left right and centre.

In this episode, we bring our friend Kaci Disney onboard as a special guest to let her ask questions she's always wondered about British stereotypes and what life is like across the pond. Of course, there's a little Meghan Markle chat, some #FreeBritney and a lot about my mother and the racoon issue happening on Dogwood Drive. Enjoy!

Courtney flies solo this week as Tom starts a new job, so she takes a moment to talk about the things she misses most about the USA during the sunny summer months.
