Tea, Rockets and Yanks
Tea, Rockets and Yanks is a lighthearted cross-continental dialogue between charismatic British politician Adam Kent and American military wife Tina Furman.
The two met in the most unlikely of settings โ a rocket launch โ and their spontaneous, engaging conversation on the cultural differences and similarities between the UK and US sparked an idea for a podcast.

Tea, Rockets and Yanks - Episode 11 - Disney, Deer and Senator Furman
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!
๐ฐ Disney Dilemmas: Tinaโs 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?
๐ Road Trippinโ: 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!
๐ 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?
๐ถ 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?
๐ Guardians of the... No Way!: Tina's refusal to jump on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride seals her fate in Adamโs eyes: she's a bona fide snowflake. Maybe she should stick to the teacups?
๐ Tractor Troubles: Adamโs 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!
๐ผ 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?
๐ธ Photoshop Follies: Adam's daughter is an expert at photoshopping ex-boyfriends out. Out with the old, in with the... newer?
๐ Food Faux Pas: Tinaโs 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!
๐ 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.
๐ฆ 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 natureโs way of saying, "stay home and watch Disney+?"
๐ฅ 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! ๐๐ต๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ธ
