Summary

For this month's first Britainology, Milo subjects Nate to the early-2000s British reality TV show Supernanny, with an episode featuring a particularly unruly 9-year-old girl named Meghann. It's famously "iconic" British TV with more than a few ethical dilemmas, and frankly we're undecided on its value. But you can watch the episode in question here and react in the comments. Get the whole episode on Patreon here. *T-SHIRT ALERT* Two new t-shirt designs—Avignon Popes and Banished to the Lagoon—are available for pre-order on our website. Get them here!  *MILO ALERT* Check out Milo’s UK Tour here:https://miloedwards.co.uk/live-showsTrashfuture are: Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and November (@postoctobrist)

Something that I find interesting, I was thinking about this, is that what this reminds me of,

0:04.1

what we're talking about, which is super nanny, in the beginning, in the kind of establishing

0:08.8

footage of how dysfunctional this family is and how particularly they have a, their eldest

0:15.1

daughter, who's nine, has obvious anger issues, but the parents are not doing, they're not really doing a very good job

0:21.8

of establishing boundaries. And there, the mother and the daughter are very similar in personality.

0:26.1

And the mother is shouting and losing her temper. And as such, the child is doing the exact

0:29.2

same thing back to her. What it reminded me of in the American context, and American listeners

0:33.7

will instantly recall this is all of the sort of like bad kids sent to boot camp stuff on like Mori Povich, which is a talk show. But more Mori Povich is maybe maybe that's the reason why we didn't have the like Britain's fatest families kind of stuff in America was because we already had Jerry Springer and Moripovich. And these shows were like, you know, the joke about Moripovych about him, like,

0:57.1

they do the DNA test, like, guy named like Braden with a Y.

1:00.8

It's like, Braden, you are the father.

1:03.4

Like they have like a reveal of whether or not you're the father or not of this child in question.

1:08.5

And Jerry Springer was going to say Ricky Lake, but Ricky Lake was a little bit less of that. of this child in question. Like, this is, that's a huge thing.

1:14.4

And Jerry Springer, I was going to say Ricky Lake, but Ricky Lake was a little bit less of that.

1:15.2

Jerry Springer was like the Nadeer, to use you, the concept there in terms of like, it was

1:21.1

just, we found the most gross out Utre insane, basically not a particularly nice turn of phrase,

1:28.3

but white trash Americans mostly.

1:30.4

And we're going to show them to you

1:32.5

and you can gawk at them.

1:33.7

Another example of this in America was cops.
