Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.

In today’s episode of Simple Joe, I kick things off with a wild fact about the microscopic universe hiding in a teaspoon of soil, then share the weather in Tampa, Cincinnati, and here in Madrid. It’s Wild Card Wednesday, and I sit down with my UK correspondent and good friend, Kevin Curtis-Allen, for a fun and fascinating conversation about British food, pub culture, tipping differences between the US and UK, breakfast traditions, baked beans, Greggs sausage rolls, Scotch eggs, cottage pie, clotted cream, and the wonderful quirks of life across the pond. We compare coffee habits, talk about accents, supermarkets, desserts like sticky toffee pudding and spotted dick, and even dive into memories of Sunday roasts and strong Yorkshire tea. Along the way, we share some laughs, swap stories about travel and culture, and wrap it all up with Kevin’s podcast recommendations and my usual reminder to make great memories with the people you love.
