Double O Ian
Join the Gang of Five as they welcome special guest Ian (Fleming) James (Bond) Williamson, the charming Englishman who captured Shelly and Peggy's attention in a bar years ago. In this captivating episode, Ian shares his life story, from his early years in the UK to his experiences in apartheid-era South Africa, and finally his journey to becoming a proud US citizen.
Ian's adorable English accent and quick wit shine as he discusses everything from the Liverpool-Manchester rivalry to his global travels and his deep appreciation for his adopted country. The conversation spans a wide range of topics, including Ian's career at Eli Lilly, his daily song picks for his work team, and his thoughts on retirement. The group also touches on current events, including the recent Democratic National Convention and the upcoming US election.
Prepare to be utterly charmed as Ian shares his perspective on cultural differences, international travel, and the many things he loves about Shelly (though an hour-long episode barely scratches the surface). The discussion is peppered with humor, personal anecdotes, and even a Family Feud question comparing dogs to men.
Whether you're interested in global perspectives, life stories, or just enjoy a good-natured discussion with a British twist, this episode will leave you stirred but not shaken. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!
