From Melbourne, Australia. Wishing all of you in LA remain as safe as possible. and hoping the winds slow down soon. Having gone through some huge and very scary fires over here, please remember if you feel sad and lonely during this time there are people all over the world who are thinking of you. it is horrible but it all does pass eventually.
This man definitely found his calling. It's really sweet he wants to help others thru the psychological recovery. I hope Calvin never learns to pronounce 'subscribe' lol he sounds so cute
Oh lord, WWHYYYY as someone who has irrational shark fear, did I decide to watch this ep on youtube not listen on spotify as usual?! I can't put my feet on the floor now. :D
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.💔
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
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.
Calvin’s fear from trailers - happens at our house too! I hate when they pop up as a commercial when watching a show with my kids. Why are they showing ads for a horror movie when streaming something rated for kids!?
My kid has seen Smile 2…. He’s 11, and totally not afraid of anything. He has seen every scary movie out there and is so unphased by any of it. He can watch one of the scariest movie and go right to bed and sleep without any problems. Blame my husband, he lets the kids watch all scary movies as soon as their 5 😒
Towards the end, it sounds like you encountered what's called a white van speaker scam. The person trying to sell them buys these things with fake brands and fake product pages that say they're worth $20k, but in reality it's only like $50 for everything.
Also can we get a quick lesson on how to tell the Kiwi and aussie accent apart? So we can distinguish it too. What are some words that are markedly different??
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")

David here. Really appreciate your kind words. It means a lot. We'll talk all this through on the coming episode...
OMG CALVIN🥰🥰🥰
My boys are 19 and 16 now and I SO wish I could go back and hear their tiny voices again.🩵💙
One day we will have time travel. One day.
David’s love for Calvin is so pure ❤

Why am I not surprised as an Aussie that this is an ep 😂😂
Can't wait for the other Aussie eps.
Wishing you safety and hopefully you and Rob are safe from the fires.
Thanks, Cameron.
Prayers to you all in California!! Hope you are all staying safe!

Thanks for this tip - I have so many friends fostering pets at the moment, too.

It's amazing what we hear about and what we don't isn't it? Never imagined Canada having such big fires.

Finally a podcast about a split enz song?
OMG David, do not scan random QR codes! That's how scammers are stealing your phone's info
Oh God, I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks!!!

So true about everything David is saying about NZ and Australia 😂
Need Dave and Rob to go visit the Berryessa gloryhole

@ thank you!
As an Aussie, the word "six" will distinguish a kiwi to me straight away.
and Aussies are quite nasal
Australians say budgie smugglers, New Zealanders say togs. That's how I remember....
Being mistaken as south African would be worse than straya or uk
