Hold your horses! Andy ventures into the anorak in this episode, toeing into the poetry and madness of Britishisms. And not for the last time, admiration of words gets us tongues tied. Maybe it's a curse. Or maybe it's a pair of blurt-based Americans in way over their heads.

Thanks for listening. Now don't get off your bike; there's plenty of time for your gin sprint...

How much can one grown man talk about Richard Osman before it gets unseemly? We quest to find out. Mary's back, the roofers aren't, and another audio short takes us into the underside of British celebrity culture. (Apologies in advance to Romesh.)

Join the journey through one guy's fascination with the Sceptred Isle, one audio short at a time. This episode: the hideous social handshake that makes a Midwesterner feel right at home.

And what's possible when a British server comes at you with the console? Our audio short explores the worst-case scenario sitting at the cross of these vectors.
