In a special Christmas Eve episode, Ed talks to Bishop Richard Umbers of the Archdiocese of Sydney about which Christmas Mass is the worst, the impossible banality of meetings, and the new evangelization.
Fair warning, the first seven and a half minutes are about cricket, so either fast forward, or just deal with it.
Hey! Ed’s stronger accent came out in this conversation! JD are you so excited?!
My first reaction as well. I would love to hear from JD and Ed's wife about what sorts of people bring out the accent.
I came here, logged into Substack for the first time since subscribing JUST to say that JD is right - Ed's mirror neurons are strong and his accent came out like magic.
An Australian accent for Ed- the Christmas present we all needed, whether we knew it or not.
I greatly appreciate the confluence of two persons, both with mixed accent ancestry, trying their best not to take on the other's speech patterns too obviously.
