I'm David Ferrier in New Zealand are accidentally marooned in America and I want to figure out what makes this country tick.

Now occasionally on flight this bird we break from the usual format and do something a little bit different. You saw that with Flies of Fancy about a month

Oh, and a quick note, because in this episode we're playing our favorite moments from our favorite

TV episodes, there will be some spoilers here.

If there's a show we stumble on that you don't want spoiled, just use the skip button.
