And we're back, lads and lasses! Tune in to the wildest cross-Atlantic banter featuring the ever-so-British Adam Kent and the Southern belle with a pinch of firecracker, Tina Furman!
🏰 Disney Dilemmas: Tina’s magical family trip to Disney had Adam green with envy, mostly because of those ridiculously extravagant Disney prices. But wait, why's it cheaper for Brits to pop across the pond? Does Mickey Mouse have a special affinity for tea and crumpets?
🚗 Road Trippin’: A mere 11-hour road trip for Tina equates to a whopping 33 hours in Welsh time, according to Adam. Sheesh, those sheep really slow things down!
🚘 Tesla Tantrums: Adam's less-than-self-driving Tesla has him on edge. If the car's so smart, why can't it listen to reason? Meanwhile, Tina's encounter with Yvonne from Scotland has Adam utterly baffled. How did they even pass U.S. customs?
🎶 Musical Mix-ups: Tina's meeting with a UK Billy Ray Cyrus fan is a head-scratcher. Adam's just as stumped, wondering who in the Queen's name loves country music in the UK?
🌌 Guardians of the... No Way!: Tina's refusal to jump on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride seals her fate in Adam’s eyes: she's a bona fide snowflake. Maybe she should stick to the teacups?
🚜 Tractor Troubles: Adam’s tractor saga paints a vivid image of him on a rogue piece of farm machinery. Repaired at an astronomical cost and still dysfunctional? You can't make this stuff up!
💼 Happy House Helper: Tina's new venture, TheHappyHouseHelper, is buzzing! From potentially being Senator Furman to refusing a cushy Starbucks job - this woman is full of surprises! Speaking of Starbucks, Tina's got beef with them for rejecting her daughter. Maybe a "Senator Furman Special" latte could mend fences?
📸 Photoshop Follies: Adam's daughter is an expert at photoshopping ex-boyfriends out. Out with the old, in with the... newer?
🍟 Food Faux Pas: Tina’s chip escapade under the stairs is all kinds of hilarious. And yes, Tina, in the UK, chips are fries, and crisps are chips. Blame it on the Atlantic divide!
📅 Conference Conundrums: Adam takes us into the very English world of Conservative conferences, touching on Facebook scams, and the struggles of getting local media's attention.
🦌 Deer Disasters: In a turn of tragic events, Tina recounts her son's collision with a deer, ending in a totalled car and a mix of whiplash and COVID. Maybe that's nature’s way of saying, "stay home and watch Disney+?"

In a turn of events that might be described as "the British Invasion 2.0 - this time with more tea and less rock-n-roll", Adam Kent, a venerable UK businessman and seasoned politician, and Tina Furman, a fiercely pragmatic military wife from Nashville, Tennessee with a robust farming heritage, have announced the second episode of their raucously entertaining podcast "Tea Rocket and Yanks".
Held following a meeting with the scenic backdrop of a SpaceX rocket launch at Cape Kennedy in Florida (don't worry, they had plenty of sunblock), the dynamic duo answer pressing questions that range from "Why on earth would you start a podcast at a rocket launch site?" to "How did Bill Gates and Microsoft inspire your podcast title?"
Surely, you've all heard of water, right? Well, in this episode, Adam and Tina take the humble H2O molecule and turn it into a riveting conversation topic. They delve deep into the contrasting nature of water supplies between the UK and US, discussing matters like purchase methods, quality control, and even the mystifying Berkey Water Filters.
In an unexpected twist, the conversation turns from filtration to relaxation, discussing the peculiar trend of purchasing baths over Facebook Marketplace (we’re not kidding!). Prepare yourself for a bubbly debate about 'tight wads', a term that may bring a chuckle or two.
Ever pondered the term 'Yanks' and wondered how it's perceived across the pond? Our transatlantic hosts spare no time getting into the nitty-gritty, exposing some delightful cultural nuances. Also on the docket is a heartwarming discussion about the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees. How could a conversation about 'Yanks' not include these famous teams?
And speaking of sports, they delve into the world of football, or should we say soccer? With Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's recent acquisition of the Wrexham club, Adam and Tina unravel the complexities of US game statistics, which might seem like a separate maths degree to many.
For the grand finale, the hosts tackle the amusing topic of 'fake states'. Yes, they do talk about "Pensylvania". A spelling mistake? A phantom state? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
So, grab your tea (or your rocket) and tune in to "Tea Rocket and Yanks" for a wild ride through cultural differences, hearty laughs, and intriguing insights into the water in your glass.

Tea, Rockets and Yanks - Episode 6 - Brady gets the Blues
Tea, Rockets and Yanks
08/07/23 • 66 min
🎉 The World's Most Mind-Blowing Episode Six EVER Has Just Dropped! 🎉
London, UK - Brace yourselves, folks! We promise no jargon, but plenty of Worcestershire... um, Worces... you know what we mean. The powerhouse podcast duo, Adam Kent & Tina Furman, are back with Episode Six of "Tea Rocket and Yanks" and boy, it's an absolute hoot!
💣 BREAKING NEWS: Tom Brady, American Football MVP, invests in Birmingham City Football Club! Not Alabama, folks, the original Brum in the UK. Adam's ecstatic, envisioning every Tom Brady fan donning Birmingham shirts, and possibly learning the Brummie accent. Meanwhile, Tina recounts a hilarious gym rumor of Brady buying a team in Birmingham, Alabama. Whoops! Can we say 'lost in translation'?
🎩 FUN FACT: Brady’s all set to join the podcast for a riveting lesson in everything Birmingham, including how to don a flat cap with swagger à la Peaky Blinders.
Worcestershire Sauce (go on, try saying it) proves to be Tina's verbal Everest, much to Adam's amusement. Speaking of heights, Adam and his buddy Danny aim sky-high with dreams of scaling the real Everest, while Adam has cosmic plans involving Elon Musk and Mars. Tina? She’s keeping it romantic with an Eiffel Tower visit, a train journey, and a gondola ride in Vegas (where what happens there, stays there).
The dynamic duo then deep dives into the quirks of the French language, a potential sponsorship with Elgato, and the art of inconveniently placing e-scooters. For the trivia lovers, did you know Birmingham has more canals than Venice? Neither did Brady!
From rants about Adam’s love for Vegas and Tina’s disdain, to musing over Stonehenge (just a bunch of rocks or an alien landing site?), the chat leaps to the wonders of Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. Not forgetting the gravity-defying cat that chooses windows over cat flaps.
Relationships? Adam and Tina ponder over the conundrums of AI in family photos. Pro-tip: Always place the temporary significant other at the photo's edge for easy cropping later!
A heated discussion ensues about CrossFit, good days vs. bad days, the epic UK 14-day Disney pass, and the US's perplexing tradition of naming kids after their parents with tags like "Junior" or "Little."
In conclusion, Episode Six of "Tea Rocket and Yanks," aptly titled "Brady gets the Blues," isn't just another episode. It’s an odyssey, a journey, a riotous rollercoaster – essentially, the BEST episode since... well, the last one.
Don't miss out on the laughs, gaffes, and Adam's masterclass on Worcestershire pronunciation. Listen now, and thank us later!

Tea, Rockets and Yanks

Hold onto your monocles and cowboy boots, because it's time for the eighth episode of "Tea Rocket and Yanks"! Adam Kent, the suave UK businessman, and Tina Furman, Nashville's witty military wife, are back to paint your ears with their uproarious conversations and transatlantic perspectives.
The episode kicks off with Tina's delightful admission: after watching "Peaky Blinders" and laughing her heart out with "Gavin and Stacey," she's ready to hop aboard the UK TV train. Could this be the solution to global harmony? Time will tell.
But fear not, they dive into some serious matters too. From US and UK house prices to the intricate art of real estate sales tactics, our dynamic duo contemplates whether Tina should join her family as a "realtor" – that's real estate agent in Brit-speak.
Immigration chatter takes center stage, with Adam and Tina delving deep into its implications in both countries. Customer service woes post-COVID are also dissected, revealing the true trials and tribulations of the "new normal."
But don't let the weighty matters bring you down! The conversation takes a light-hearted twist as Adam becomes Tina's linguistic knight, translating British phrases into US English for her.
Enter the hornet assassin! A unique, and let's admit it, somewhat dangerous way to deal with these pesky insects becomes the topic du jour. But fret not, they transition smoothly into the UK's drinking culture for young adults and deciphering what the heck "out out" actually means (hint: it's not just a dance move).
Tina tests her Brummie accent, and the pair marvel at the American police's undeniable attraction to doughnuts. But wait, Adam's messaging mishap leads to a guilt trip of epic proportions, giving Tina a laugh as big as the Grand Ole Opry.
Butter your crumpets, folks, as they define the quirky term "nappies" and explore the charming world of the British police. The episode culminates with Tina's heartwarming confession: when she's upset with her family, her refuge lies under the stairs, surrounded by potato chips.
So, pop the kettle on, grab some crisps, and get ready to eavesdrop on a transatlantic tête-à-tête that's as delightful as a cuppa with the King.
