American & Canadian Food Vs. Australian Food w/ Josiah Hein

Season 2, Ep. 14

This week, we’re joined by Canadian content creator, teacher, foodie and sports lover, Josiah Hein!


He loves food just as much as we do, and even gives Dub a run for his love of American and Italian foods!


We dive into Josiah’s journey from Canada, through Europe and the United States all the way to Australia. Josiah has seen alot of the world most others haven't! We talk about his life in Canada, the reasons he chose to now live in Australia, and the biggest culture shocks he has encountered along the way—like coffee creamer and savoury, not sweet pies!


We talk US and Australian sports, being introduced to Australian foods like, chicken salt, Australian Candy and how we love a punt!
