Ken from Kenilworth poses the question, "Why are they called gravy rings?"

Ken poses the question, "Why are they called gravy rings? I'm from Kenilworth and when I send my children out to get gravy rings, they don't know what I'm asking for!"

Ken says, "There's a dispute in my family here. When my wife goes to the bakery, I ask for her to get some gravy rings but she asks me and the kids ask me, 'What are they?' They call them ring doughnuts! So why do the Derry wans call them gravy rings? We know that the answer is not that they're cooked in gravy! I will be listening to hear the wisdom."

Sean, "I don't know, really..."

Ken, "And I have another one for you. I have just realised that the phrase that my ma, and da, and you have been using all our lives to express alarm and bemusement... which is actually "What in utter God!" is said in Derry, "What in underer God!" What does that mean?"

"Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer," says Sean.

With music from John Prine, The Byrds, Keith Marshall, Dwight Yoakam, Lord Rockingham, and more.
