    Feb 17 2026

    In this episode of Grits and a Brit, our Southern GRITS and her British co-host tackle the unwritten rules of dating culture—from first-date expectations to the mild panic that hits when the restaurant bill lands. Who pays? Who tips? And why is everyone pretending they’re not calculating 20% in their head? Is splitting the check romantic or ruthless? Is tipping generous… or just mandatory math? Expect awkward scenarios, cultural clashes, and plenty of sarcastic commentary as they decode love, dinner, and dollars.

    It’s Super Bowl time… and the Brit is deeply unprepared.

From baffling rules and team names to halftime shows and snack strategy, this is Super Bowl week through very confused British eyes. Expect wrong assumptions, confident nonsense, and plenty of laughs as American football meets British bewilderment.

  • Ep7: Bless Your Heart
    Nov 11 2025

    This week on Grits and a Brit, the GRITS gives the Brit a crash course in Southern sayings—from the sweet to the secretly savage. “Bless your heart” isn’t always a blessing, and “fixin’ to” doesn’t involve tools. The Brit struggles to keep up while the GRITS explains the charm, humor, and hidden bite behind Southern talk. It’s a funny, fiery dive into the language of politeness, sarcasm, and Southern attitude.
