Tim:               Welcome back, listeners, to Episode 70 of your favorite online marketing podcast. I'm Timbo Reid, right there Jimmy James Schramko. How are you, my friend?
James:         Going well, thanks Timbo. I don't know if you can hear a helicopter, but it's all happening down here at Manly today.
Tim:              Ah, they'd be spying. They’d be just trying to find their way through a crack in the curtains, to see what's on that MacBook screen.
James:            I looked out the other day and there was a hang glider, like just off my balcony.
Tim:                 That’s weird. That’s a little bit weird.
James:            I was like, what are you doing here? It could have gone bad. Anyway, you’re back from Italy?
Tim:                 I am, bonsoir. No, no, no. I did that. I hung my head out of our apartment in Florence and yelled out, “Bonsoir!” I meant to say “Buon giorno.” I just never got the language right over there, mate. Yeah, I know.
James:            If they think you’re English, they’re not likely to speak too much English. They’re not that into speaking English, I’ve found.
Tim:                 Can I be racist? I’m going to be.

Tim:                 What I observed is, they’re not into Americans. And I got taken as an American a number of times. One guy in a cafe bumped right past me because… he was quite rude to me, he thought I was American. And we got into a conversation. I explained I was Australian, and he ended up coming up at the end of the night and apologizing.
James:            Well, here’s something interesting. This is a fact. I was looking through my great grandfather’s diaries, and he was off the south coast of Africa, and it was about 1910 or 18-something, like the end of 1800’s. And he was talking about how it appears that Americans are not well received in other countries but they also seem oblivious to that fact.
Tim:                 (Laughs)
James:            In other words, he’s telling us that all the other people on the boat were having a bit of a go at them, and they couldn’t even tell that everyone was havin...
