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

8:31

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
