London, UK, Tennessee US - 18th August 2024

🚀 "We Are Back!" - Tea Rockets and Yanks Returns with a Blast! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

After a brief hiatus (thanks to some video editing gremlins), the dynamic duo of "Tea Rockets and Yanks" are back with their 14th episode, and they’ve come out swinging. UK businessman and seasoned politician Adam Kent teams up once again with Nashville’s own military wife extraordinaire, Tina Furman, to take on the world’s quirkiest, most pressing, and occasionally baffling issues. Buckle up for a transatlantic ride"

Chapter 1: The Return of the Dynamic Duo (00:00)
The episode kicks off with a cheeky nod to their recent absence, blaming the delay on the lack of video editing (pesky software!). But worry not, because as Adam says, "Pity, you we have lift off, we're back." Tina can't resist teasing Adam about his time zone challenges – “You'd have gone on bloody LA time or Vegas or whatever.” Spoiler alert: this will not be the last time zones are mentioned.

Chapter 2: The State of Politics – Why the World’s Gone Mad (03:10)
Adam and Tina dive into the political turmoil on both sides of the pond. From immigration woes to political corruption, it’s a no-holds-barred discussion on how the UK and US might just be on a mission to out-mad each other. They’re even concerned that the rise of, shall we say, "colorful" governments might be a plot to silence voices like theirs. “The world's gone mad, they're just trying to silence us now," Tina quips.

Chapter 3: From New York’s Crime Surge to the Mysteries of Job Hunting (09:23)
Crime rates are spiking in the Big Apple, and Adam and Tina are worried. As Tina points out, "Defunding the police? Maybe someone should defund the criminals instead." Meanwhile, job hunting in the UK is no walk in the park either, especially when nepotism and corruption run rampant. If you’re job hunting, this segment is a must-listen.

Chapter 4: Meteor Showers, Volcanoes, and Time Zones – Oh My! (23:28)
Time zones might be a headache, but watching meteor showers is pure magic. Tina and Adam reminisce about their celestial experiences and take a fascinating detour to discuss their visits to Mount St. Helens. “Straight across naked eye shooting across the sky, it's great,” Adam recalls, before sharing a fun fact about volcanic rock formations.

Chapter 5: Buzzwords, Work Productivity, and Lazy Twats (35:03)
Ah, the corporate world – where buzzwords abound and productivity often falters. Adam, in his new role in the County Council, is determined to tackle these issues head-on. Tina couldn’t agree more, especially when it comes to setting standards. “Encouraging full-week work,” she says, “isn’t too much to ask, is it?”

Final Thoughts: Volcanic Rocks,

So grab your tea (or rocket fuel), and tune in to the latest episode of "Tea Rockets and Yanks" – because we’re back, baby, and ready to bring you laughter, insight, and the occasional mad rant!

Tea Rockets and Yanks Podcast Launches Outrageously Engaging Second Series: Now in Technicolor on YouTube!

In a spectacular collision of cultures, accents, and opinions, the second series of the "Tea Rockets and Yanks" podcast is blasting off, leaving a trail of laughter and mild confusion in its wake. Now in vivid video, catch UK's business maverick, Adam Kent, and Nashville's own slice of American pie, Tina Furman, as they embark on a verbal voyage through topics so varied, you'll think your playlist is on shuffle!

The premiere episode is a kaleidoscope of conversation, touching on everything from the whimsy of British weather to Tina's adorable befuddlement over mince pies (spoiler: no meat involved). Witness the duo navigating the murky waters of flood insurance and job hunting - it's like watching a reality show where the prize is keeping your sanity!

Adam, a man who's seen more of politics than most have seen of Netflix series, brings the gravitas, only to have it expertly deflated by Tina, whose military-wife wit is sharper than a bayonet at breakfast. They'll dissect Facebook Marketplace bargains, laugh in the face of regional stereotypes, and take you on a roller coaster ride from the lofty heights of empire history to the grounded realities of soda vs. pop debates.

But it's not all fun and games - these two are as likely to solve the world's problems as they are to get lost in them. They'll tackle the hard-hitting issues: microplastics, the COVID conundrum, and the ever-controversial tooth decay blame game. Adam proposes an IQ test for parenting (don't worry, it's multiple choice), while Tina dreams up a religion based on kindness, proving that this podcast is the only theology or ideology you'll ever need.

Amid privacy conspiracies and subliminal messaging scandals, they still find time to touch on the family-friendly topics of snow shoveling and pool maintenance. Temperature differences have never been this hot, and you'll be on the edge of your seat wondering if Tina's pool will survive the winter.

And just when you think they're about to land this verbal spacecraft, they blast off again, talking personal style, fan reactions, and even rocket launch plans (because why not?). Closing remarks are more like opening salvos for the next episode, leaving listeners and viewers alike craving more of this audacious, transatlantic banter.

So, brew a cuppa or pour a soda (or is it pop?), settle into your least squeaky chair, and tune in to "Tea Rockets and Yanks". It's the podcast that doesn't just cross the pond – it does a triple axel over it.

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! 🚀🍵🇬🇧🇺🇸
