In this episode of The Old Wooden Ship, Keith takes us on a wild ride through the cultural quirks of the UK vs. the US. From tiny cars to towering egos, he critiques the UK's "meh" approach to economic mobility and champions America's go-big-or-go-home mentality. The conversation then swerves into voting territory, with a lively debate about whether we should all have a pop quiz before hitting the polls.

• Focus on the big picture—because life's too short to sweat the small stuff.
