Tea Rocket and Yanks: Episode 11 - "Cowboys, Coffee, and Common Sense" Overview
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+?"
🔥 Fiery Furman: Adam's final proclamation is that Tina must storm the political arena. With the nickname "Fiery Furman", she's sure to set the world ablaze!
Episode 11 is packed with antics, jests, and jests about antics. Whether they're diving into deep waters or merely wading in the kiddie pool of life's complexities, Adam and Tina never fail to entertain. Cheers to yet another rollicking episode of Tea Rocket and Yanks! 🚀🍵🇬🇧🇺🇸

Tea, Rockets and Yanks - Episode 12 - Series Finale - Halloween Horrors
Tea Rocket and Yanks: Episode 12 - " Season Finale - Halloween Horrors"
Ladies, gents, and nonchalant teapots, buckle up! For the season finale, Adam Kent and Tina Furman pull out all the stops, juggling a potpourri of peculiar topics from both sides of the Atlantic. Prepare for a roller-coaster episode, loaded with transatlantic titbits, questionable games, and some Martian mysteries.
⏰ British Summer Time & Daylight Saving: It's that time of year again. While Brits reset their Big Ben-inspired wall clocks, Tina in Tennessee is scratching her head. Why does an hour's difference feel like a timezone apart?
🎃 Tina’s Tricky Treats: Tina's Halloween party promised spooky fun but ended up revealing more than anticipated. Thanks to a risky Amazon purchase, she unwittingly introduced her guests to the game "Pick Your Poison". Top tip: when your Aunt Edna is searching “What’s a ball gag?” on Google, you've definitely crossed into unknown territory. And, dear Aunt Edna, maybe clear your browser history, or brace yourself for some very specific ad recommendations.
🌪️ Turbulent Tennessee & Watery Worcestershire: Tornados twirl in Tennessee and Worcestershire wades through water. The duo dives deep into the unpredictable weathers of their homelands, lamenting over lost umbrellas and floaties.
👻 Real Estate Revelations & Ghostly Giggles: If you're selling a home in the US, apparently you must declare if it's haunted (or just had a past death). Adam quips that the UK would be in a bind with such rules, given their ancient, probably ghost-ridden estates. Speaking of phantoms, are they real? Are aliens? Adam seems convinced, especially after overdosing on "Invasion" on Apple TV.
💰 Currency Confusion: Pennies, pounds, dimes, and dollars - the duo delves into the linguistic labyrinth of currency, leaving no coin unturned.
📺 Reginald Perrin's Peculiar Presents: Adam nostalgically nods to the British show "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin", especially its Grot shop. Just in time for Christmas, when you're eyeing that obscure gift for Uncle Bob who already has everything.
🚀 Elon’s Extraterrestrial Escapades & Scottish Shenanigans: No episode is complete without mentioning the man aiming for the stars, Elon Musk. This time, he's not just plotting a journey to Mars but also dabbling in... Scottish politics? Aye, that's one small step for man, one giant leap for Scottish independence?
In this whirlwind of a finale, Tea Rocket and Yanks ensure there's never a dull moment. Whether it's aliens, Elon, or accidentally risqué board games, Adam and Tina tackle it all with their signature humour and unyielding wit. As we bid adieu to this season, rest assured, our dear hosts will be back, armed with more tales, tea, and... well, probably more mentions of Elon Musk. Cheers to a rocket-fueled ending! 🚀🍵🇬🇧🇺🇸
