LA Wildfires | Flightless Bird
🦤 Watch more Flightless Bird: www.youtube.com/@flightlessbirdpodcast
In this week’s Flightless Bird, David and Rob reflect on the California wildfires, talking to a variety of people affected both directly and indirectly. We hear from one of the team from Watch Duty (the app downloaded by over 2 million people in the last week) about how it works and how it’s saved lives, before talking to one of the people organising at Mutual Aid LA. We then hear from Flightless Bird listeners about various aspects of American wildfires - and what makes this wildfire different.

    While you're hanging out inside, you may look for an old Steven Spielberg movie called "Always." It a romance starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, and John Goodman, and it features firefighting pilots. Living in the south, I can confirm that we deal with a significant wildfire threat. Thinking of you all in CA.

    It must be so frustrating to differentiate your accent by "squesheng" your vowels that hard and STILL be assumed to be Australian from your accent. Meanwhile, a few Adelaide-born people I used to play WoW with were constantly annoyed at how many people assumed they were Kiwis when they were on voice chat, but they squeshed their vowels pretty much the same way. People from outside of ANZ who have met South Australians are probably going to match the NZ accent up to it and accuse Kiwis of being Aussies.

    After traveling for a few years for business, and being from small town America, rich Americans are the worst (and the most visible from an international travel perspective), but I have never been so embarrassed as I was eating at a cafe in Paris with a Canadian. He was SO LOUD, and I realized it was because "good" American travellers don't want to be a "bad/loud/brash" American traveller, so they are very quiet and apologetic. Canadians get away with hell and it gets blamed on us because many folks can't differentiate the accents haha

    The fires are a good topic for the show. Just extreme weather in general because my British friends always ask "what its like to be in a tornado or hurricane?" The funny thing being I've experienced both in Texas, but not all Americans have experienced this. They, my friends, think extreme weather or weather related phenomenon is very American.

    • @williamwallace9944
      @williamwallace9944 7 дней назад

      A general rule is that Australians tend to pronounce many of their e's a's and i's as "ee" sounds, ("pick" becomes "peek") while Kiwis tend to change their vowels into a more low-key "u" sound. ("pick" becomes "puck")

    On the topic of wild fires, you should look into wild fires in Canada, specifically British Columbia. Every summer we have absolutely horrific fires, entire towns are burnt down like Lytton and Jasper (Alberta). A lot of towns are remote and relatively disenfranchised and struggle to rebuild after such a disaster. A lot of people become displaced, especially Indigenous peoples who are so connected to their land and community. And it happens EVERY YEAR it’s absolutely crazy. Also Canada has the water bomber planes to help fight our wild fires, they were sent to LA to help this week, shoutout to those pilots because that is one of the craziest things

    David, can you put it out there that the local animal shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with displaced pets. If anyone is able to foster a pet or two that would be so helpful. Here in Utah several of our rescues/shelters are taking in hundreds of California pets to help. These are creatures completely at the mercy of humans.💔
