@thewhatnowpod: We sat down with Joe Opio and it turned into pure African chaos. We’re talking: • Joe giving notes to Louis C.K. on his first night in NYC • Joe’s pep talk that stopped us from quitting The Daily Show. • Uganda almost becoming Israel + the Entebbe raid origin story. If you want South African Twitter roasted, baby-throwing stories, and off-camera Dave asking “how do you guys know each other?” every 5 minutes—this is the one.
Southern American who lives in Canada now. Ontario people refuse to believe they too have an accent lol.

No, but if I sound strange speaking isiZulu to a Zulu then I'm the one with the accent not the Zulu.

Why accents are soo problematic? 😒😒 if you have an accent, ok you have it, it only tells me that you know more than one language and that’s great!

My Italian mother had an accent when others heard her speak, but we, the children, never heard it, for us she spoke perfect english. Interestingly when we spoke Italian in later years, we were complemented on our lack of english accent
