07/31/23 • 58 min
Listeners, fetch your favorite pet and cuddle up for the fifth episode of "Tea Rocket and Yanks," aptly named "Cats or Dogs." In this purr-ticularly delightful installment, UK businessman Adam Kent and US military wife Tina Furman unleash their opinions on everything from furry friends to the state of social media.
Are you a cat person or a dog person? Adam's affinity for felines and Tina's canine devotion spark spirited debates. And what about that story of the rabbit and the cat flap? We're not kitten you; it's a tail you won't want to miss! Ever wondered if a dog could become a rocket scientist? These two have, and they're willing to bark about it.
Tom and Jerry's whereabouts are called into question. Has the classic cartoon been banned for causing offense? Our hosts scratch below the surface to find the answers.
Banking woes arise as Adam and Tina navigate the sticky waters of canceled accounts. When views don't align with the banks, is your money safe? Prepare for a deep dive into this financial furball.
DNA dilemmas lead our hosts to ancestry.com and 23&Me. Is DNA broken? What constitutes heritage? It's a real genetic jigsaw puzzle that they paw through.
Tina charges into a rant about our ever-growing battery addiction. Are Duracell and other battery companies influencing children's toys? Adam, not to be outdone, waxes lyrical about milk floats, the UK's early electric vehicles from 90 years ago. And what's with those milk bottles always getting in the way after a night at the pub?
Social media gets clawed at, with more platforms than ever and a growing reluctance to engage. Tina proudly boasts 29,722 unread emails and defends the time saved by ignoring them. How's that for inbox efficiency?
From photo filters on phones to the pitfalls of thrusting an iPad into a child's hand, the episode delves into modern communication faux paws. And speaking of communication, they dial back the time for a nostalgic chat about old-school telephones and the art of courting.
So grab a leash (or a saucer of milk) and tune in to "Tea Rocket and Yanks: Cats or Dogs." It's a pet lover's paradise filled with laughs, insights, and a few claws-out opinions.

Tea, Rockets and Yanks - Episode 4 - Flamingos in Pampas Grass
Get ready for a wild ride through cultural chasms and pop-culture pandemonium with the launch of the fourth episode of "Tea Rocket and Yanks". The tongue-in-cheek podcast, starring UK businessman Adam Kent and US military wife Tina Furman, is set to deliver another dose of transatlantic hilarity.
First on the agenda, our hosts dive into the cinematic world of the new Barbie movie. Will Ryan Gosling ever escape his newfound Ken identity? And does Adam's eagerness to meet Margot Robbie have anything to do with her possible role as the iconic plastic doll? Tune in for some spicy Hollywood gossip!
Next, Adam and Tina ponder over the proliferation of "days" and "months". From Doughnut Day to Shark Week, there's something for everyone. So why not have an Adam and Tina Day? They also examine the curious rituals of gifting chocolate eggs at Easter and presents at Christmas, while also navigating the repetition and lessons of Groundhog Day.
Tina shares a hilarious anecdote about a door-to-door security salesman who arrived at her house on a hoverboard. Was he from the future, or just really into gadgets? Listen in for some belly laughs!
Unveiling the intricate nuances between the UK and US, the episode explores the national significance of pink flamingos and pampas grass. How do these connect with patriotism, you ask? You'll have to swing by to find out!
In a further swing politically , they discuss by-elections in the UK, the mounting costs of Net Zero and climate change, as well as the varying opinions on demonstrations and vandalism related to environmental causes.
Adam's secret ambition as a chimney sweep is revealed (shocking, we know!). They also delve into the peculiar history behind the UK's favorite slang term, "bloody", as an emphasis tool.
Not one to shy away from cheeky humor, they also compare notes on "taking a skip" versus "taking a dump". As the conversation naturally (or not so naturally) progresses, they enter the competitive world of cricket, drawing a parallel between England and Australia's rivalry in the flat bat sport.
For all this and more, tune in to the fourth episode of "Tea Rocket and Yanks". Expect plenty of laughter, surprising revelations, and a whole lot of transatlantic fun.

Tea, Rockets and Yanks - Episode 6 - Brady gets the Blues
🎉 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!
