In the debut episode of American Idiots Abroad, (**airhorn noise**) we're talking about words that both Americans and Britons use, but in totally different ways. We tackle pants, decent, quite, "you alright?", pissed, sick, ill, pudding, cheers, diary, sorted, fancy and shirt! The outro for this episode is the brand new song "Self-Destructing" by Sola. Follow AJ and Megan at @ajmarksofficial and @iamsolamusic and email us your questions/corrections/words for drunk at AIAhosts@gmail.com.

Accents (with TUCAN)

In our most educational episode yet, we discuss... education. With the help of pop/punk singer Bronnie, we breakdown the school system of the US and the UK (surprisingly one of the first questions Americans are asked overseas). We have college; they have university. We have the common app; they have UCAS. We have schoolbus; they do not have schoolbus. The songs featured in this episode are the newly released "Closure" by Sola, and Bronnie's lastest single "Lost and Found".

Shout out to Jess Ellis for having us on her podcast, St. Andrew for slaying a dragon, and happy birthday Megan and her Bro-la Guinto! The songs featured in this episode are "Down" and "Hold Your Tongue" by MildaMay.
