Executive Producer Knighthoods, British Accent History
Several producers are knighted for their financial support, including "Sir Bob B of Sunset Beach." A linguistic theory is discussed suggesting that the modern British accent did not develop until after the American Revolution, meaning early Americans and British people likely sounded the same.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session discussing the weather conditions in Austin, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. They report on a text from a friend named Horowitz who is preparing his boat and a newly constructed Tiki hut for Hurricane Irma in Florida. The construction of the Tiki hut reportedly required specific blessings or involvement from American Indians to bypass certain permit requirements.
A list of presidential proclamations for November is reviewed, including National Diabetes Month and National Native American Heritage Month. The controversy surrounding the Washington Redskins name is dismissed as "cultural Marxism." The segment notes the irony of attacking the Redskins while other teams like the Florida State Seminoles use similar imagery without equal scrutiny.
