  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Who's this? This is Shannon. What's up, Shannon?
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I was trying to see, have I got the right number?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do. Oh, Shannon.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Shannon.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny is that obviously you heard an
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: accent there. I'm so excited because I was hoping that
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a foreigner would call us because I saw this article.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: There's a list of habits that Americans have while dining
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: at restaurants that are mind-boggling to people from other countries.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Mind-boggling. Let's hear an example.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Ordering one entree to split.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's a big one. They don't do that overseas?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, you want to know why?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Because portions here in Arizona, or I guess in America
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: in general.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Are huge.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Rich and his wife do that quite a bit.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's all we do. We'll like one app
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and one thing, and we split it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I'm from here, but I don't understand that because I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: want my own meal, and I want half of yours.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: So these are habits that are mind-boggling to other people.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: When Americans say, I'll do the... When ordering from a menu,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it's such a strange choice of phrase. Or when people say, gimme,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: when ordering.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I'll do the.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I'll do the. That's interesting.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Some people say it's bad manners.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: We could say, may I please have, or can I
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: please have, and then thank them afterwards. But anyway, so
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: apparently these are things that are baffling. expecting service in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: a restaurant to be immediate and having your server be
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: exactly on your schedule so you don't have to wait.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I'm guilty of that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely feel like in Europe you are kind
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of sitting around and enjoying, you know, banter. Yeah, but
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: they also bring out things.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Because they dine. Hold on, maybe she's calling back. Hello,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: John Jane Rich, can I help you?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Is this Kiss FM?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, is this Shannon?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You have the right number. Yes, you have the right number.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, so you're on the air. Well,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: first of all, what can we do for you? I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: have some questions for you. Okay.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Am I really on the air? Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Where are you from?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I'm from Australia, but I live in Los Angeles.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, what are you calling us for?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I thought it was for the Jingle Ball ticket.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, hey, let me ask you this first.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's weird that Americans will order food
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and split one entree?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No. I don't either.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: According they say. Well, that's just for Europeans. She's from Australia.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: This is probably totally normal for people in Australia. What about,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: there's an article about American dining customs that baffle foreigners.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: So I thought I'd kind of, I could hear an accident,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: so I thought I'd bounce some of these off you.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Sure, go for it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Finishing all your meal 100%. In some countries, it means
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: you didn't get enough and your host has let you down.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: No. Not in my country. Right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: What about expecting service in a restaurant to be immediate
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and having your server be exactly on your schedule?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, some people are, but I'm pretty easygoing. I mean,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: if you are like half an hour to take my order,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I think that's not good service, but You don't have to, like,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: walk in the door and take my order straight away. But, again,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not everyone.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: What about blowing your nose in public? Apparently, people and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: foreigners don't really get that. Why do Americans do that?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Good Lord.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I do, but I try to do it in, like, privately.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: But I don't do it, like, you know. Yeah, that's
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: a tough one.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's a tough one, Shannon. What were your questions about
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Jingle Ball?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I just got onto the radio. My daughter really wants
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to go, and I thought you were giving away tickets.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: We are. You've got to keep listening. We're paying your bills.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: When you listen for the keyword, you hear your bills,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: time to listen for the keyword, and you're thrown in
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the hopper if you win to go to Madison Square
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Garden to go see Jingle Ball in New York City.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. I know.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I've got to listen for the key word.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Keep listening, Shannon. Thank you for listening. Thanks for calling me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And welcome to America.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I've been here for 15 years.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That's why it's not weird for her to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: split a meal.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Shannon.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a bunch of, a couple of things
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: on here. It says, someone said, I like what, the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: thing I like about Americans visiting is how friendly they
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: are with strangers. In my country, locals are often, look
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: like they're constipated. So that random smiling and chatting is
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: very welcome. Anyway, just some fun stuff there.
