Stealing a British Tradition, Guy Fawkes in America
A wonderous autumn celebration is heading your way. Guy Fawkes Day also known as Bonfire Night is a British tradition that has been adopted by Jacqui and her husband. Join them and their English mate Lou, as they discuss the history of this holiday. They will compare how the British celebrate compared to how our American couple has adapted it to work in the American suburbs. You might even learn a few tips on how to have your own Guy Fawkes party, but take care or you’ll end up with the cops on your doorstep like Jacqui did one year. The episode ends with an epic US vs UK faceoff quiz to see who knows more about the knowledge surrounding this treasonous plot of old. You’ll be laughing a lot while learning a nugget or two yourself.
