Hello, everybody. Welcome to a special version of Britonology that has nothing to do with Britain

whatsoever.

Well, as far as we know at this stage, I feel like there are going to be some themes.

Oh, of course. No, there's definitely, there's definitely this, you know, French and Indian War,

the War on the Wabashes of English origin.

There's all sorts of things we can talk about about the American Midwest. Anywhere where you can find angry, fat, red dudes or paedophiles, you can find a piece of Britain.

It's like Rupert Brookshit, you know, in that foreigner, in some corner of a foreign field, in that earth, the Richard Dust concealed.

Do I have a university to introduce you to that I went to?

Well, what I was going to say is the following.

I have made the joke many a time to Milo on Twitter, to my, to Francis and Joe and everyone

in our, in the zoo crew that Britain I've discovered is just big Indiana or big Michigan

or big Illinois.

It's the big Midwest.

It's just, and quite frankly,

it may be smaller than the actual American Midwest, but in terms of culture and in terms of

individual states, Britain is bigger and has more outsized influence than any one Midwestern state.

But then I realized, when I talk about the Midwest, I don't really know what Milo or our British listeners really know about it.

I wanted to talk about the American Midwest because I am in fact from Indiana.

And with me today is my co-host, Milo Edwards, of course.

Hello, yeah, coming at you live from Big Ohio, or as it's also known, Tower Hamlets.

And we brought along two friends of the show and fellow Midwesterners, Joe Kasabian.

Hello, coming from the other island that uses the Union Jack as a flag.
