  • #14 - Somebody call 911

    Welcome to Episode 14 of G'DAY FROM THE USA! In today's podcast, we have a fun chat about the experiences of an Australian living and working in the United States. Our special guests, Kyla and Crisa, share their perspectives as Americans, with Kyla hailing from Oregon and Crisa originally from California.

    We kick off by discussing the Starbucks phenomenon in Australia, exploring its rise and fall. Despite an initial surge in popularity, Starbucks struggled to appeal to Australian tastes and closed most of its locations, currently operating primarily in tourist areas.

    Next, we share some feedback from our lovely Canadian listener, Wendy, who reminisces about a childhood activity known as "Knick Knocking." We also catch up on our personal updates, including foot massages, finishing home projects, and enjoying the pool.

    Crisa then introduces word pronunciations for various brands, followed by a fun game of guessing Australian words, including "brolly" for umbrella and "hoon" for a reckless driver. We dive into some questions about growing up in the USA, living in different states, and the best road trips.

    Our conversation takes an intriguing turn as we delve into Crisa's profession as a 911 operator/dispatcher. We explore a typical day, weirdest and toughest calls, understanding panicked callers, and dealing with silent calls or accidental dials. Crisa even shares amusing anecdotes about calls from children and a lifesaving award she received.

    In a "Truth or Lie" segment, we debunk myths about kangaroos, Sydney being the capital, and the banning of the word "mate" in Australia. We wrap up with some odd news, including a $700 gold-covered edible hamburger in Philadelphia.
