The number of US sitcoms that are adaptations of a British show is crazy. Big Bang Theory, The Office, All in the Family, Three's Company and on and on. Clearly some Americans get British humor.

Lewis is one of the only legit journalists in our sport who is willing to ask tough questions in a professional and respectful way. My guy consistently puts out great articles and interviews where things I want to hear about are discussed. The fact that there are so many people here who are being critical of him blows me away.

Hold on...

...All in the Family was first a British show? So your saying Benny Hill was the original Archie Bunker?

This day can't end soon enough.

Max and I are so glad that we did that interview. We have both been inundated with hate from it. 

Regarding “shutting down ML” on that pod, I’ve never heard that. I am the host though and have to keep us moving rather than spin in circles. I’ll throw out a few more “atta boys” though.

🤣

It's not hate..

You're just not getting our American style of humor. 🙃😇

Just funnin' ya a bit Lewis. You and Max are great. Keep doing your thing eh.

Sounds like Max has some irons in the fire and I look forward to seeing him defend his WSX title..

Sanford and Son was first a British show called Steptoe and Son.

I’d love to see Cole go HRC with the bros… full Australasia take over, he’s already outperformed Jo by a long shot. If he takes command of this title I’d say he could take his pick of the teams.

No no no, just stop.

New Zealand...Australia...South Africa. Come on...we all know the southern hemisphere is trying to confuse us Americans by calling the same country a few different names. Good one mate but I'm on to them. 🙃

USA USA USA, Happy 4th!....🤠

Yes, but invariably the US versions are very different from the UK ones

Apparently the deal to see him on 450s at Star in 2028 is pretty much finalised.

I've heard rumours of PC for Anstie. I just hope he gets off the 250s. He's is literally old enough to be Dudney's dad.

Wow, you're right. That one seemed uniquely American to me. Clearly I was wrong!

Gee Lew, strange response. I am a fan, but what should we say, thanks? Any way keep up the good work, you do insightful work.

I think the protocol commands you kneel and kiss his Majesty's toes.

Maybe you should check what Australasia is.

Or just notice there's a difference between Australasia and Australia.

Great interview!  I like the format and back-and-forth.  Same with the other pods.

Thanks for doing these, even the ones with KB and ML.  Hasn’t been a dead parrot among them yet.

Good luck to Max in WSX, et. al.
