5:46

episode it's really interesting I've

5:48

just arrived from Australia I was living

5:50

there for 5 years so kind of yeah

5:53

perfect what have you heard then if

5:55

you've never been never met one what's

5:57

like kind of a stereotype you might know

5:58

of Australian

6:01

that's

6:02

know yeah barbecues and that that

6:06

there's horrible animals out there I

6:08

mean all the people you showed us were

6:10

blonde but the guy the guy I know is not

6:12

blond I think they're quite like I see

6:14

them a bit fun and free spirited and

6:16

open-minded they love good good they're

6:19

all very good

6:22

looking Chris MW oh all right yeah love

6:26

a good barbecue was he a surer I think

6:29

he does so

6:31

really they're very outgoing people they

6:35

there's definitely an indigenous side to

6:38

Australia and it's very separated so you

6:41

have like Australians and then

6:44

indigenous it's like two different

6:46

cultures over there people that live

6:48

like in the Outbacks and stuff are all

6:49

quite adventurous and and you know don't

6:51

really give like me personally would

6:52

never go to Australia just cuz I hate

6:55

spiders um

6:57

austr there you go

7:00

I'm going to find him in a

7:02

bit that's where we're from oh really

7:04

okay cool I'm going to find him then

7:06

from my childhood it was more like you

7:08

know cricket and crocodile dundy and KY

7:12

log and daddy um the cricket obviously

7:16

was a massive One I Love The Cricket in

7:17

the ashes so I always had a an inking to

7:21

go out to Australia for sure okay what

7:24

was that guy's name the crocodile hunter

7:28

guy watching um his shows when I was

7:31

child they they call the think the

7:34

sticks that come

7:37

back I don't know what oh you mean a

7:40

boang

7:41

[Laughter]

7:44

yeah Australian yeah yeah yeah your

7:47

stereotype yeah that's that's a good but

7:49

that's a good one this not my stereotype

7:50

I what I've had is there something that

7:52

connects us the people culture well yeah

7:55

for sure it's funny um a lot of people

7:58

uh in in Australia as a slang called me

8:01

a palom which is actually from prison of

8:04

mother England so as such it's it's got

8:07

weird conations that they might not

8:10

understand pretty similar but I mean

8:12

I've never I don't haven't met too many

8:14

Australian people never been there no I

8:16

don't I haven't really met many but if

8:19

what I kind of perceive is that

8:22

people are more positive towards

8:24

Australians oh really than they are to

8:27

Americans oh than American yeah

8:29

definitely I feel like English people

8:31

are more reserved like British people

8:33

are more reserved where Australians are

8:36

found more outgoing and why is that is

8:38

that a reason you think absolutely no

8:40

why maybe more in common culturally

8:41

closer to them okay oh you mean Brit's

8:44

perception is like we're better

8:46

connected to them than Americans

8:48

potentially they our favorite cousin or

8:50

something maybe our favorite maybe our

8:51

favorite cousin I'd say yeah and how

8:54

would you say the accent differs from

8:56

the English

8:57

accent it's very strong I say it's bit B

8:59

more comical like it's a bit more like

9:01

engaging right um like a lot more

9:05

charismatic and like that's what I from

9:07

my experience they go up at the end like

9:10

that oh yeah like that I will not be

9:12

attempting an accent but it's got like a

9:14

twang or something it lovely accent yeah

9:17

good mate good

9:20

mate all right

9:22

[Laughter]

9:23

Dar I think laidback Australians like

9:27

really know how to justat

9:30

into I don't know just being really

9:33

chill laidback I think British people

9:36

could really take that a major

9:38

difference I found and that took her

9:40

ages to get used to is that right now

9:42

it's winter and Christmas is in the

9:44

middle of summer so you got shrimp on

9:47

the barbie you know like prawns and Fish

9:50

on the beach on a Christmas day you a

9:53

culture shock is it our humor is much

9:55

darker definitely yeah yeah yeah I'd say

9:57

our programs and everything is way

9:58

darker but that's our culture and what

10:00

we've been so the Aussies are brighter

10:02

or so or I think they've got a happier

10:04

outlook on knife have you been to

10:06

Australia or planned I've not been to

10:07

Australia now would you like to go yeah

10:09

I think I would go like always up for

10:11

traveling but then would you ever think

10:13

about going there at all we're not great

10:16

with flying so honestly no I don't think

10:19

I would no no because of the spiders in

10:21

the shoes or the distance maybe the

10:24

distance and it's almost it kind of

10:27

almost does feel too close to home I

10:29

hear a lot of um couples that go from a

10:32

from England to Australia often come

10:35

back within 5 Years cuz they think it's

10:39

got that you know England by the Sun but

10:42

it's so different right like there's so

10:44

many differences the MU the music the TV

10:47

the sports even thanks for watching this

10:49

10:51
