In this lively and thought-provoking episode of The Rosie and Roula Show, the hosts explore what kindness looks like around the world — from the bustling streets of Australia to the organized calm of the Netherlands and the community spirit of Lebanon.

Roula recalls her mischievous Catholic school days in Lebanon before diving into a viral Australian YouTube channel showcasing everyday acts of kindness. Rosie questions whether these moments reflect reality — and shares a chilling near-miss car story that led her to buy a dash cam “just in case.”

Together, they unpack how culture, fear, and government systems influence our willingness to help others. It’s a warm, witty, and eye-opening conversation about humanity, empathy, and everyday goodness.
