AUSTRALIA vs. ENGLAND vs. AMERICA! In this special transcontinental episode, Chris invites an awesome Aussie, Belynda Thomas, and Englishman extraordinaire, Elliot Grey, into the studio to spill the tea on what it’s like living in America from an ex-pat perspective. As the group sips and snacks on Elliot's "posh pigs in a blanket", things escalate faster than American portion sizes – from friendly banter to an epic showdown that seeks to determine which great nation reigns supreme when it comes to music (The Beatles, case closed), animals (50 million kangaroos can't be wrong) and culinary delights (your country is automatically disqualified if you enjoy either Vegemite or Marmite, sorry). Whether you prefer your soccer to be called football or your football to use Australian rules, you’ll enjoy listening to Belynda and Elliot discuss their perspective on Australian, British and American culture as much as you’ll love their classic Aussie and British senses of humour.
