An Australian ex-navy man once told me that when American warships came to Sydney, the Aussies would tell them to go to the Sydney Harbour Bridge early in the morning to watch the traffic stop to let the kangaroos cross the bridge. He told me it was always a laugh to see how many American sailors lined up at the bridge with their cameras waiting for the event to happen.
Yep! We did that in Hawaii in the early 1980’s. It was a fascinating experiment. We told that story to young white girls and they believed every word. We told the same story a few black guys. They weren’t having a bar of it. 😂😂
During ww2 there was a base in Brisbane with American soldiers based there were getting paid way more then the AUS ones. This lead to them getting around in sports cars and getting all the girls not even lying. This lead to a massive brawl in the city between the troops. Search it up. I also believe it happened in Adelaide
The one upmanship in stories thing... let me tell you an Aussie joke about an American.... So, there's this old stockman (rancher) leaning on his front gate and he sees a huge dust cloud coming down the road, a pair of longhorns goes by attached to a car hood and eventually the driver pulls up level with the stockman.. The man in the car tips his ten gallon hat and says to the Aussie... "This here yer property boy"... the Aussie answers ... "yeah"... The driver asks..." How big is it?".... the Aussie answers... "Around 50,000 acres last time I looked"... the driver laughs... "Boy mah back yard is bigger than that!... How many head of cattle have you got?".... the Aussie answers... "'Bout 300,000 give or take"... the driver laughs.... "Boy mah kids have more pets than that... How many rooms in yer house?"... The Aussies answers... :Well if you count the shearing quarters about 20"... the Driver laughs..."Boy mah dog has more than that!" ... all of a sudden a kangaroo hops past jumping over the car hood... the driver looks shocked and exclaims... "What the Hell was that?!" and the Aussie smiles and says.... "What? Haven't you seen a grasshopper before?"
I've backpacked the US from coast to coast, and found Americans to be warm, kind and generous, almost without exception. Most Aussies like Americans. Our criticisms are usually born of concern, never more so than now, the US seems dreadfully divided. We hope you work it out, the world needs a healthy USA.
Perhaps my bad experiences in the U.S. was because of upper middle class Americans ( they were all white), but they treated lower skilled Americans and foreign tourists with contemptuous behaviour.
@@robertmurray8763 And it's reciprocated. I got a withering look from a waitress in Concrete WA for only ordering a single pancake - it was HUGE - apparently she had never had a customer who couldn't stuff down six of them?
Most of the Australian citizens problems with US is they drag us into wars that we don't want to be in Re Iraq STOP the wars US other than that we love you guys ❤️ 💜 💙
Ryan, don't worry about the comments on your " Happy Arvo", I wouldn't be surprised if it takes on and everyone starts saying it. it's endearing. Thank you for your entertaining posts. Happy arvo Ryan, from the beautiful city of Perth, from the great State of Western Australia.
Mansplaining time.... 1 - the "Shrimp on the Barbie" thing came from a 1984 Tourism Australia advertisement - to get Americans to come to Australia... it's an image Australia has spent the last almost 40 years trying to expunge. 2 - Foster's is, yes, a beer brand - except no Australian drinks it. It's like asking an American if they drink Duff Beer? 3 - take into account the statistics of vehicle vs kangaroo, wombat or emu accidents in Australia, then compare to bears, deer, moose, etc. In America. 4 - the whole "riding a kangaroo to school" thing is a joke... but seemingly few Americans recognise sarcasm and deadpan comedy.
I had the same thing in the UK. Some guys asked me if all Australians could throw boomerangs, so I told them it was a compulsory subject in school. I said that you couldn't graduate until you could make the boomerang return.
Also, there are over 100 different kinds of prawn but only a couple of different type of shrimp. Nine times out of ten, you're eating prawns mate. And, our Coca Cola is better than yours, as American Coke contains syrup as the sweetener, where Australian Coke contains cane sugar, like Mexican Coca Cola!
Love the people but their political systems are crazy. I have some great American friends and have been to the U.S. several times and found the people to be friendly, generous and kind. They are also very curious about Australia.
Maybe they're curious about Australia because their own country is now so screwed up that they'd like to get the heck out of the place and go and live somewhere else. I would too if I lived there.
Curious about Australia? When I say I am Australian they always say "Sydney? " When I say NO they are lost for words. It's the ONLY thing they know about Oz.
Hey Ryan. In 1975, mum and i had a 15 day tour of America visiting Los Angeles, San Francisco, Yosemite, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and Disney Land.The people were so friendly, including our bus driver. I think today, the world has changed. Many people are dissatisfied. They cannot abide each other.
i flew into LA my first time seeing america and there was this huge smog cover all over LA and surrounding area right up to the mountains i still remember it 25 years later
I’ve seen the same flying into Sydney on a hot, windless day. It looked like a filthy dome covering the whole Sydney basin from the sea to the Blue Mountains.
Ryan, when you come to Australia, do NOT go off the beaten track for anything! Always go with people who know the area thoroughly and are well prepared. Otherwise stick to towns and cities. And Ryan, I love your blue eyes! 😍👍😜🇦🇺
The funniest video you’ve made mate. Trust me when I say, you’re an awesome Yank! Haven’t laughed that hard in a while! Keep it up mate. When you finally get here we’ll hit Crown Casino in Melbourne and have a beer. You’re a top bloke. Have a good one mate!
Hi from Australia. I LOVE your intro it feels almost like we are just two friends and your happy see me. Love your videos keep them coming. Best wishes from a friend you've never met. And please remember if you DON'T get insulted in Australia it's because we DON'T like you or think your not worth our time.
🤣🤣🤣 that's funny as an west Aussie we don't give a rip who you are the only things that so different is your gun laws and medical treatment I would say us Aussies win in that department. And as for the stories we just like to mess with you guys coz that's what we do down under. Love your vids mate
i agree with the lady who said they always try n better a story , i was fishing one day and an american saw me catch a fish , the 1st thing he said to me was , we have bigger salmon than that in america , i told him he will need alot of fishing line to catch them from here . he didnt have a clue what i meant . i basically was saying , fuk off back to america to him . he thought i was joking . i wasnt lol
Pollution comment made me think about the water in Flint and other similar stuff, like associated with Erin Brockovich. We get a lot of horrified media comment about that here, over the years. And that movie about her. Not that we don't have our own pollution scandals obviously.
Opinion polls. A 2020 poll by YouGov declared Australia as the most positively viewed foreign country by Americans, with 75% having a favorable opinion. It ranked behind only the United States itself, which had a 78% rating.
Loving your channel, great content and you have an awesome sense of humour! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to entertain us out in CZcams land. Happy arvo 🇦🇺😊
My experience when travelling through the US, country folk and small town folk are extremely friendly and generous, but not so in the cities. I found the interstate highways had so many advertising bill boards, which I felt really spoiled the scenery. But all in all I loved the experience and actually visited 30 different states. My favourite being Origen and Pensilvania. New York and LA possibly the most unfriendly of the cities I visited.
You're pretty cool Ryan and having a good tour of the US is on my agenda as soon as the world has settled a bit. I love America and its people, and you have so many beautiful places that I would love to visit.
Went to San Francisco about 12 years ago what surprised me the most was how polite and respectful everyone was but what blew me away the most was so many homeless people
USA, the ultimate capitalist society with little middle ground. You either make it and have a trove of personal possessions or you can't afford 7 weeks rent in advance plus the bond so live on the streets.
Best thing about America- the beautiful scenery. I was surprised by how big the mountains were. Yellow stone, Utah, Yosemite were so beautiful. Loved Disneyland too. Worst thing about America- the fast pace, the obsession with guns, and the awful healthcare system. Oh and tipping!! I hated that. Myth about Australia- That it's just the out back. There's a heap of different types of scenery. Also the shrimp on the Barbie thing is really annoying cos we don't even say shrimp, we say prawn. Don't try an Aussie accent, it doesn't sound right.
Shrimps and prawns are two quite different creatures. Shrimps are very small, no more than about 4cm at most. That's part of the dry sense of humour joke - we'll throw another tiny shrimp 🍤 on the BBQ to feed you. Prawns however, are MUCH bigger, ordinary prawns, king prawns, huge by comparison to Shrimps.
@@Vicky_C87 Yes, things like shrimp cocktails used to be a thing in restaurants years ago. I'm not sure if they still are. Served cold in a long stemmed glass with cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. Not that spectacular really. Shrimps are also a favourite food of whales too. Remember that old song "shrimp boats is a-comin' those whales are in sight, shrimp boats is a-comin' there's dancing tonight" etc. Some people might think I'm having them on, but I'm not. 🙂
I love the diversity of America. There are alwaiys good and bad from most countries. But most people I've met have been lovely and it's a beautiful place. 💕
I think with the pollution she is referring to LA. I know when I went there I found it a very smoggy place, not clear blue skies. Also there is a lot more litter issues in the bigger cities like LA there than we have down here. There is more of a campaign to clean up litter and not drop it in the first place.
My mother made a double batch of pikelets one time, about 40 of them, put them on the cooling rack and then went into the garden. She came back a while later - pikelets were gone! Then she heard an almighty belch from under the table. Our Samoyed dog had eaten the lot! She had heartburn. Serves the gorgeous rascal right. We kids got nothing until Mum got more ingredients.
I used to take pikelets into the office for morning tea for my work colleagues. They loved them, but never quite took to the butter, sugar and lemon juice on them that I grew up with.
7:33 the shrimp on the Barby is fine. It is from an old tourism ad. You can cook prawns on the BBQ. American BBQ is low and slow, Australian BBQ is hot and fast. I refer to it as burning dinner. Light the fire as the Sun goes down and eat it while you can still see it.
I had to think hard about the best thing about America (USA) - something I am passionate about and admire. Then it came to me - NASA! America's contribution to our collective scientific knowledge gets my "best thing" vote. Too bad it is dampened by the large number of Americans who contribute to science denial and pseudoscience.
@@nevillewran4083 That hurts my heart. Children being indoctrinated with a specific religion's ideologies. I don't think that's what the founding fathers meant by freedom of religion. And it causes so much ignorance and misinformation.
@@3scarybunnies211 It is indeed a terrible thing. Gotta be confusing to kids as they learn real science in parallel. Glad we in Australia don't have it.
@@nevillewran4083 Agreed. I grew up religious and remember my first disconnect when I was 8 and we learned about dinosaurs at school. Dad ended up telling me that while God created animals, he decided that the dinosaurs were too big so he made them die off before he made man so that man could survive. I'm an atheist now.
@@3scarybunnies211 Me too. Hated compulsory religious instruction all thru school. And some of the Creation 'Science' examples shared publicly are simply lies. Junk science & invented facts.
Ok Ryan, whilst Arvo IS a slang word for afternoon. We don't actually say it like Happy Arvo. We use it more like ' going to the the shops this arvo' or 'what you doing this arvo.' Happy Arvo is not how we use it. Just letting you know, not being nasty or anything, Cheers bud
Exactly! Whadda ya up to this arvo mate? How was you arvo? Did you have a good arvo? Heading off on holidays tomorrow arvo. I was wondering why HAPPY ARVO kinda sounded a bit odd. We would normally say - Have a good arvo. Or more Australian lately is 'Have a good one' instead of Have a nice day.
@@rubyruby1847 I don't see a anything wrong with wishing a happy arvo. Just because it's not our usual Aussie slang, it's intention is positive. I would be more inclined to say "have a happy arvo", & perhaps I will. We need a lot more "happy" in this world.
I live in a place called Kangaroo Flat (which is in Bendigo which is Victoria’s 4th biggest city) and trust me when I say I could ride a Roo everywhere if I wanted!
I think most Australians like a lot about America. Most Americans are friendly. Entertainment/movies, sport. The food is nice. We speak the same language. Americans invented a lot of cool things. A lot of great ideas have come out of the US like "I have a dream" and, in my personal opinion, the 1st and 4th and 5th amendments. Our constitution even takes some inspiration from the US in terms our Senate (although in my opinion, our Senate avoids some of the problems with the US Senate). We just don't like the lack of gun control/the shootings, police brutality, recent abortion bans, the unfair+divided political system and the weird aggressive nationalism/patriotism, and the military invasions.
Freedom of speech and of the press (1st Amendment) can be traced back to the UK and Swedish common law in the 1600's, along with the first moves toward freedom of religion and the right to remain silent. The French introduced the modern concept of free speech as an inalienable right before the US too in 1789. I think a lot of Americans operate under the delusion that it is their constitution which establishes international human rights or influences the formation of human rights law in other countries..... and very few have ever heard of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, much less recognise that the US is a signatory to it and thus, has a lawful obligation to adhere to it under international law.
@@anserbauer309 Here in Australia, the previous government (in power until last month) raided the media and did secret trials, because the media revealed spying and war crimes. While the idea of free speech did not originate in America, they are one of the first to codify it in constitutional law (and certainly one of the oldest still existing constitutions) Of course, the US has also taken the 1st amendment too far, saying that it protects unlimited secret political donations (Citizens United v FEC)
@@MrGutfeeling I was at a trivia night just last week and the answer was Germany (Karl Benz).. but maybe it depends on what you define as a car/automobile/ motor wagon 😉 but anyway we at least agree it wasn’t the US 😝
Australians tend to love Americans just like Americans tend to love Australians. We are very similar "can do - land of opportunity" cultures with both welcoming migrants from all over the world, who then work hard and build a new future free from the poverty and oppression in whatever land they come from. It is a cross-Pacific bromance, with both countries having a fondness for Britain. As a result, the new AUKUS defense pact between Britain, US, and Australia, seemed like the most natural grouping in the world. We are brothers in war and peace.
so, coke, soda, and pop. See, we all grew up with American TV shows and Movies and know those names. I know I have seen Soda Pop bottles on TV. But here in Australia we literally call them Soft Drinks. Btw good Aussie Accent Impression. This is the hardest accent to do for a Non Aussie. I have seen people try and no one ever gets close. You and Miles from The Commodity are pretty good. Props to you for that man. Loving your channel.
I love your videos. As a proud Aussie it is great to watch your reactions to a lot of this stuff. I just love watching the looks on your face. I have been to Arizona and New Orleans. In Scottsdale the people were soooo friendly. I couldn't believe how the cars just stop to let you cross the road no matter where in they are, not at a crossing. And New Orleans, wow! I was on a high the whole time I was there and I don't even drink!! People were so friendly and the music just brings every culture together. I want to get back there one day. Hope to see you make it over here one day as well. I am surprised none of these people on this video mentioned the drop bears, lol.
We say prawns, not shrimp, and we don't barbecue them that often. The "shrimp on the barbie" thing came from a tourism ad that Paul Hogan did for the American market. It really annoys us when Americans say shrimp, but it's not your fault!
I did enjoy working alongside US Marines and Army when I was in the Australian Army and it kills me when the insurgent extreme left tries to destroy all positives of the Nation. Semper Fi to Ed the Head, hope he's still riding.
Gday. "another shrimp on the barbie" is from a Paul Hogan travel advert. See movie Crocodile Dundee. It was made for USA so the language was changed for American understanding. Only north-eastern Aus put prawns on their barbies. Honey and garlic bbq prawns are pretty awesome. I finally subbed!
The Shrimp on the Barby thing was an Australian tourist Ad campaign from the 1980's starting Paul Hogan aimed at the US who would not know what a prawn was. And body offended by an American calling a prawn a Shrimp is an idiot. Congrats on the new bub on the way. Cheers from Australia
Come to the Capital of the Outback, Broken Hill NSW! Lots of cool mining history stuff to check out here. Plus there’s a Mad Max 2 museum at Silverton which is about 25 min drive from here.
I’m surprised no one mentioned your political system that seems to be in disarray right now. Otherwise, Hawaii is my favourite place on earth and I hope I get to visit again before I expire . Love your vlogs Ryan 😀
True about the political system. It’s a shocker I think and the apathy of people not voting is sad.... Europe is my favourite continent so many different cultures 👍🇦🇺
In the US, your news and opinion shows primarily cover American only stories. Rarely do they cover other nation's stories in a positive light. This is because 'America is best' is so indellibly planted into your nation's psyche. Here, an American only has to sneeze and its news. We probably know more about American politics and public matters than most Americans. So this means that when an American approaches an Aussie on a subject, they assume they're educating them, and that doesn't go down well at all.
Mate, if you make a gofundme to come to Australia, I'll give you 10 bucks. You've put in the work and deserve it. We're a generous lot, I think you'll get enough.
Ryan, to cheer you up, I’m Australian - My daughter visited about 10 or 15 states in USA over a few years Re work - absolutely loved it, she had a ball. She took special pics and vids for me. She flew over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter and so much more. She also bought me back a keyring from every State she visited, they are all hooked together and hang proudly in my entrance hall. In her free time off she went to many live shows, she loved Cirque De Soleil as she knew 2 Aussies in the show, free tickets. Oh She loved Vegas so much her Partner took her to Vegas for her birthday. She actually never complained about the USA or the people she met 😊. Work trips stopped when Covid hit.
My favourite place in Aus is Bithry Inlet on the South Coast of NSW. “Off the beaten track” and the perfect place to while away a beautiful amount of time. ❤️
Ryan you are easily one of my favourite Americans, have enjoyed your recent YT's. As much as I've enjoyed visiting Hawaii, Alaska and California, I can't see myself going back. So much gun violence, and the cost of having an accident there, nah its not worth the cost/risk. Would love to see you came over here and make some videos, but with a new baby on the way I guess that's on the backburner for now. cheers from Oz. PS: We've had koalas and kookaburras visit our home often, and have a whole flock of magpies that show up for breakfast sometimes.
also the Aussie Accent is similiar to America how its so diverse & depends where you are from on the map. if you live anywhere near an international airport/major city the accent is very multicultural. i Drove Toowoomba to Darwin (35hr drive) in march 2020 literally just before covid i got back and i didn't feel Aussie in some parts along the way ha. some Rangers have lived in that town for generations, some without electricity or much outside wordl contact, real crocodile dundie style haha
Dude, this looks like Queensland to me. I'm not sure you'd get the same responses in Melbourne or Sydney. You've NEARLY got the arvo thing down! Now you just have to forget the hard 'R' sound. Don't pronounce the 'R' at all. It's more like 'Ahvo'. The rule for an Australian accent- replace the 'r' with an 'h'. After that the phrase to learn to get the 'ah' diphthong correct is 'Ask the master to pass the banana.'
Your Australian accent sounds English to my ears. Americans just can't do a true blue Aussie accent. I have a friend in LA that's a voice actor and can do all sorts of accents but even his Australian accent like a cockney. I am surprised that not one person mentioned guns.
I'd suspect that most Australian's experience of the US is the east and west coasts. I spent several years working with people from central US states (not, as far as I recall , Indiana!) and they are very different people...... The weirdest thing are the politicians. Its almost as if there is a bar and to be a politician you have to be able to get under it.... And your Australian accent.... nope; sounded just like a person from US trying to be Australian..... :-)
I'd love to see you react to more aussie street interviews as i really feel it can showcase alot of the personalities that are common here, i'd think it'd be a good laugh
You have to watch Paul Hogan, he is the quinticentral Australia person. A Comedian, in the 80’s, THE PAUL HOGAN SHOW. This way he covers every Aussie crazy saying & doing. You can learn heaps about Australia.
Australia has many things in common with USA. USA gave us hotrodding and our car culture ,rockn'roll and I think because of our outback which is quite remote there is a wild west cowboy element and country and western music is popular like in the USA unlike any other countries and the surfing culture is huge here as we mostly grow up at the beach . Both county's are sport crazy .
Only two places in the US I want to visit is Carmel, Indiana along with Park City, Utah. One to see all those expensive homes and the other because it looks like a great, almost chill place to visit. For a few weeks, perhaps. One day. *In the corner is the best place. Watching. Listening. Learning.
hey bud, I like you. I genuinly think you are actually learning stuff while reacting to these vids. I am on a bit of an Aussie pub rock kick ATM. The quintessential song from that era is The Angels. Am I ever Gonna See Your Face Again live and the way we changed that whole song just screams Aust to me... as an Australian
I visited big cities and small country places, had a really good look around and only met one obnoxious American the whole time, loved it and want to go again sometime
I know what we see in the media doesn't represent all Americans. I have friends in Kentucky and they are intelligent, wonderful people! Hello from Henley Beach, South Australia 🐨🇦🇺🦘
Americans absolutely cannot do an Australian accent, always sounds English or maybe even Kiwi. 🙄 But we do have a lot in common, except for guns and politics. And I'd imagine that a kangaroo would be a lot harder to ride than a wombat, so why bother...
I've visited the U.S. twice, last time in 2018, and found the people to be genuinely lovely, very friendly and keen to know about Australia. The one thing I would say is that many Americans don't know much about anywhere outside of America. I'm NOT saying they're stupid, they just tend to be insular. Australians know a lot more about America because we've been exposed to the culture through film and television. I don't think it's the average American's fault either. They were genuinely excited to know more. I'd blame the media and education system. I'm hoping that's changed a lot with the advent of the internet and social media. I've certainly made some great friends over there.
Hospitable Channel-thinkers Moves fast in the cities Expensive health scheme Friendly The population The guns Fosters - an Australian beer Kangaroos carry us around in their pouches Travel by bus in the USA I was travelling QANTAS out of Hawai and an American pilot was at the healm: he treated the 747 like a rocket (mad pilot).✈️ Very religious THE BEST PEOPLE I hit a wombat south of Sydney in my car: the wombat just walked away after causing $3000 damage; maybe he should have left his number so that I could've claimed on his insurance.🤺🇦🇺🇺🇸 I forgot: I can't understand America's politics!🇺🇸 Like Americans, we love our air-conditioners! 🆒
I am Australian and I can't believe how generous Americans are, on average Americans donate to various charities about 1.3 billion $ per day in 2019 alone America donated $448.66 billion, basically half a trillion. If America actually used that money to pay off its national debt, America would be debt free years ago.
My impression is that they need to, where as us in Australia have much broader safety nets so the need for charitable organisations is much lower (although they still play a vital role)
Australians are very competing with there sport pls make a vid watching afl best marks or hardest hits it CRAZY. AFL is Australia biggest sport and stands for australian football league
As you record in your future baby's nursery. (I think that's what you said in another video) it reminds me of one difference between U.S and Aus and that's tjhe responce to child beauty pagents. Most Aussies find them repugnant whilst it seems many American's think they're a great achievement. Ryan would you want your child entering these events?
Yes, I think they're nothing short of child abuse. Training little girls to think that life revolves around just beauty, plus the PRESSURE it puts on children is horrendous. The bottom line is that these pushy mothers want to live vicariously through their children. It's so wrong. Just let them be kids, get covered in mud, skin their knees, climb a tree or two, and just be happy kids
I traveled to NY and I. Had I lovely time loved to sites and actually apart from some really rude ppl who actually made me laugh I had a wonderful time
I really like Americans. It was said in the video that we are much alike... and my own experience says we are. There are good ones and bad ones, just like us, but I believe there are more good than bad [again, like us]. I think you are largely a warm, welcoming and generous people to a fault. You stand by your friends in good times and bad. What more can I say?
G’day mate! We love Americans 🇺🇸We actually look up to Americans like they’re our big brothers, anyone that has visited America come back and rave about it. Cheers 🍻
1. "Happy arvo?", "good arvo?". (NO. We DON'T say those things. Only Americans say that to us, because they think it sounds like something Aussies WOULD say). 2. We DO say "have a great arvo" (at the end of a conversation during the morning and/or afternoon, but NEVER at the start). 3. "G'day" (but NOT "gooday"), plus "owzitgoin'?" ("How's it going?", aka "How are you going/doing?"). Those things are said at first hello.
Hey Ryan love. It's kinda cute that you are so fascinated by Aussies. Most Australians are down to earth, have a sense of humour and can take being laughed at. My take on America has changed since Donald Trump and the political system there I think could be simplified. As for the filibuster!!! A real concern for me is the regular crime involving guns and mass murders. Just today I listened to a clip on a Walmart massage shooting. Having said all that i do believe that the Aussie's and Americans always have been and always will be great allies. Love watching your clips and seeing you so entertained by us folk from the land down under.
An Australian ex-navy man once told me that when American warships came to Sydney, the Aussies would tell them to go to the Sydney Harbour Bridge early in the morning to watch the traffic stop to let the kangaroos cross the bridge. He told me it was always a laugh to see how many American sailors lined up at the bridge with their cameras waiting for the event to happen.

The one upmanship in stories thing... let me tell you an Aussie joke about an American.... So, there's this old stockman (rancher) leaning on his front gate and he sees a huge dust cloud coming down the road, a pair of longhorns goes by attached to a car hood and eventually the driver pulls up level with the stockman.. The man in the car tips his ten gallon hat and says to the Aussie... "This here yer property boy"... the Aussie answers ... "yeah"... The driver asks..." How big is it?".... the Aussie answers... "Around 50,000 acres last time I looked"... the driver laughs... "Boy mah back yard is bigger than that!... How many head of cattle have you got?".... the Aussie answers... "'Bout 300,000 give or take"... the driver laughs.... "Boy mah kids have more pets than that... How many rooms in yer house?"... The Aussies answers... :Well if you count the shearing quarters about 20"... the Driver laughs..."Boy mah dog has more than that!" ... all of a sudden a kangaroo hops past jumping over the car hood... the driver looks shocked and exclaims... "What the Hell was that?!" and the Aussie smiles and says.... "What? Haven't you seen a grasshopper before?"

Judging by this I'm guessing that most of the negative thoughts about America are from people who haven't been to wmerica
Perhaps my bad experiences in the U.S. was because of upper middle class Americans ( they were all white), but they treated lower skilled Americans and foreign tourists with contemptuous behaviour.
The world would be better off without the USA.

Ryan, you're awesome! It's really impressive that you get Aussie humour....most Americans don't 🤣
Ryan, don't worry about the comments on your " Happy Arvo", I wouldn't be surprised if it takes on and everyone starts saying it. it's endearing. Thank you for your entertaining posts. Happy arvo Ryan, from the beautiful city of Perth, from the great State of Western Australia.
Mansplaining time....
1 - the "Shrimp on the Barbie" thing came from a 1984 Tourism Australia advertisement - to get Americans to come to Australia... it's an image Australia has spent the last almost 40 years trying to expunge.
2 - Foster's is, yes, a beer brand - except no Australian drinks it. It's like asking an American if they drink Duff Beer?
3 - take into account the statistics of vehicle vs kangaroo, wombat or emu accidents in Australia, then compare to bears, deer, moose, etc. In America.
4 - the whole "riding a kangaroo to school" thing is a joke... but seemingly few Americans recognise sarcasm and deadpan comedy.
I had the same thing in the UK. Some guys asked me if all Australians could throw boomerangs, so I told them it was a compulsory subject in school. I said that you couldn't graduate until you could make the boomerang return.
Also, there are over 100 different kinds of prawn but only a couple of different type of shrimp. Nine times out of ten, you're eating prawns mate. And, our Coca Cola is better than yours, as American Coke contains syrup as the sweetener, where Australian Coke contains cane sugar, like Mexican Coca Cola!
@@kerensabirch5214In the 1960s, we actually did learn to throw a boomerang at my school in NSW. 😊 It wasn't a subject tho'.
Love the people but their political systems are crazy. I have some great American friends and have been to the U.S. several times and found the people to be friendly, generous and kind. They are also very curious about Australia.
Their politics and religion is NUTS!!
Maybe they're curious about Australia because their own country is now so screwed up that they'd like to get the heck out of the place and go and live somewhere else. I would too if I lived there.
Curious about Australia? When I say I am Australian they always say "Sydney? " When I say NO they are lost for words. It's the ONLY thing they know about Oz.
lol kudos for taking all this junk on yourself Ryan. You're a good sort. Consider yourself an honorary Australian.
Ditto..
I’ll take it! Thank you
Yep
Definitely taken on the chin & a good sport.
Hey Ryan. In 1975, mum and i had a 15 day tour of America visiting Los Angeles, San Francisco, Yosemite, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and Disney Land.The people were so friendly, including our bus driver. I think today, the world has changed. Many people are dissatisfied. They cannot abide each other.
I agree
i flew into LA my first time seeing america and there was this huge smog cover all over LA and surrounding area right up to the mountains i still remember it 25 years later
I’ve seen the same flying into Sydney on a hot, windless day. It looked like a filthy dome covering the whole Sydney basin from the sea to the Blue Mountains.
Ryan, when you come to Australia, do NOT go off the beaten track for anything! Always go with people who know the area thoroughly and are well prepared. Otherwise stick to towns and cities. And Ryan, I love your blue eyes! 😍👍😜🇦🇺
Yeah even Australian's rarely survive going off the beaten track.
I think the pollution comment likely refers to LA air quality.
LA is usually first stop for Aussie visitors.
When I was in LA, it was filthy. There was rubbish everywhere. It was nothing like I expected at all. I was shocked
Or perhaps Flint, Michigan. Or all the places around the country with bad water due to fracking.
I have never been to LA but the pollution that bothers me is their polluted MINDS.
The funniest video you’ve made mate. Trust me when I say, you’re an awesome Yank! Haven’t laughed that hard in a while! Keep it up mate. When you finally get here we’ll hit Crown Casino in Melbourne and have a beer. You’re a top bloke. Have a good one mate!
Favorite comment 😂 thanks mate
Hi from Australia. I LOVE your intro it feels almost like we are just two friends and your happy see me. Love your videos keep them coming. Best wishes from a friend you've never met. And please remember if you DON'T get insulted in Australia it's because we DON'T like you or think your not worth our time.
Yeah, ask an Australian if they could please call you a cab . . . 😉
🤣🤣🤣 that's funny as an west Aussie we don't give a rip who you are the only things that so different is your gun laws and medical treatment I would say us Aussies win in that department. And as for the stories we just like to mess with you guys coz that's what we do down under. Love your vids mate
I am yet to hear anyone in OZ say Happy Arvo.
i agree with the lady who said they always try n better a story , i was fishing one day and an american saw me catch a fish , the 1st thing he said to me was , we have bigger salmon than that in america , i told him he will need alot of fishing line to catch them from here . he didnt have a clue what i meant . i basically was saying , fuk off back to america to him . he thought i was joking . i wasnt lol
Pollution comment made me think about the water in Flint and other similar stuff, like associated with Erin Brockovich. We get a lot of horrified media comment about that here, over the years. And that movie about her. Not that we don't have our own pollution scandals obviously.
I guess she's talking about CO2 and the climate crisis.
Opinion polls. A 2020 poll by YouGov declared Australia as the most positively viewed foreign country by Americans, with 75% having a favorable opinion. It ranked behind only the United States itself, which had a 78% rating.
Really like the people in America 🇺🇸, but there's a lot of things that need to be changed there
Loving your channel, great content and you have an awesome sense of humour! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to entertain us out in CZcams land. Happy arvo 🇦🇺😊
"Fair Dinkum" hahaha. Makes me laugh everytime you say "Fair dinka" 🤣
My experience when travelling through the US, country folk and small town folk are extremely friendly and generous, but not so in the cities. I found the interstate highways had so many advertising bill boards, which I felt really spoiled the scenery. But all in all I loved the experience and actually visited 30 different states. My favourite being Origen and Pensilvania. New York and LA possibly the most unfriendly of the cities I visited.
I found them uniformly superficial, but with a veneer of friendliness.
If you visited OREGON or PENNSYLVANIA surely you could spell them?
You're pretty cool Ryan and having a good tour of the US is on my agenda as soon as the world has settled a bit. I love America and its people, and you have so many beautiful places that I would love to visit.
Went to San Francisco about 12 years ago what surprised me the most was how polite and respectful everyone was but what blew me away the most was so many homeless people
USA, the ultimate capitalist society with little middle ground. You either make it and have a trove of personal possessions or you can't afford 7 weeks rent in advance plus the bond so live on the streets.
That's why you're so cool. You're into Lost. You def want to try the rainforest tracks up in Far North Queensland.
Best thing about America- the beautiful scenery. I was surprised by how big the mountains were. Yellow stone, Utah, Yosemite were so beautiful. Loved Disneyland too.
Worst thing about America- the fast pace, the obsession with guns, and the awful healthcare system. Oh and tipping!! I hated that.
Myth about Australia- That it's just the out back. There's a heap of different types of scenery. Also the shrimp on the Barbie thing is really annoying cos we don't even say shrimp, we say prawn.
Don't try an Aussie accent, it doesn't sound right.
Don't forget all of those dangerous deadly animals. Guaranteed to kill you on the 1st day 😁...
Shrimps and prawns are two quite different creatures. Shrimps are very small, no more than about 4cm at most. That's part of the dry sense of humour joke - we'll throw another tiny shrimp 🍤 on the BBQ to feed you. Prawns however, are MUCH bigger, ordinary prawns, king prawns, huge by comparison to Shrimps.
Nah, I like it. Always gives me a happy arvo.
@@janined5784 I didn't even know there was a difference. I've never heard anyone say anything other than prawns, even for the tiny things.
@@Vicky_C87 Yes, things like shrimp cocktails used to be a thing in restaurants years ago. I'm not sure if they still are. Served cold in a long stemmed glass with cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. Not that spectacular really. Shrimps are also a favourite food of whales too. Remember that old song "shrimp boats is a-comin' those whales are in sight, shrimp boats is a-comin' there's dancing tonight" etc. Some people might think I'm having them on, but I'm not. 🙂
"You're all fat" I died. 😂
Pollution: she's talking about the US being the number 1 producer of carbon emissions.
I really hope you come for a holiday, you and family will love it here.
I love the diversity of America. There are alwaiys good and bad from most countries. But most people I've met have been lovely and it's a beautiful place. 💕
I think with the pollution she is referring to LA. I know when I went there I found it a very smoggy place, not clear blue skies. Also there is a lot more litter issues in the bigger cities like LA there than we have down here. There is more of a campaign to clean up litter and not drop it in the first place.
Yeah, pancakes come in different sizes but we grew up on pikelets. About the dice of the circumference of a small coffee mug or smaller.
My mother made a double batch of pikelets one time, about 40 of them, put them on the cooling rack and then went into the garden. She came back a while later - pikelets were gone! Then she heard an almighty belch from under the table. Our Samoyed dog had eaten the lot! She had heartburn. Serves the gorgeous rascal right. We kids got nothing until Mum got more ingredients.
I used to take pikelets into the office for morning tea for my work colleagues. They loved them, but never quite took to the butter, sugar and lemon juice on them that I grew up with.
7:33 the shrimp on the Barby is fine. It is from an old tourism ad. You can cook prawns on the BBQ. American BBQ is low and slow, Australian BBQ is hot and fast. I refer to it as burning dinner. Light the fire as the Sun goes down and eat it while you can still see it.
This one had me in tears laughing! Hahahaha I've been watching alll of your vids day and night 😂🇦🇺🇦🇺 from Perth btw 🤟🏼
Very hospitalable people. Nice to talk to generally.
Hey Ryan, you're as laid back as as any Aussie I know, good on ya.
I had to think hard about the best thing about America (USA) - something I am passionate about and admire. Then it came to me - NASA! America's contribution to our collective scientific knowledge gets my "best thing" vote. Too bad it is dampened by the large number of Americans who contribute to science denial and pseudoscience.
Creation Science is actually taught in some schools. It's compulsory and is given the same weight as real science.
@@nevillewran4083 That hurts my heart. Children being indoctrinated with a specific religion's ideologies. I don't think that's what the founding fathers meant by freedom of religion. And it causes so much ignorance and misinformation.
@@3scarybunnies211 It is indeed a terrible thing. Gotta be confusing to kids as they learn real science in parallel. Glad we in Australia don't have it.
@@nevillewran4083 Agreed. I grew up religious and remember my first disconnect when I was 8 and we learned about dinosaurs at school. Dad ended up telling me that while God created animals, he decided that the dinosaurs were too big so he made them die off before he made man so that man could survive. I'm an atheist now.
@@3scarybunnies211 Me too. Hated compulsory religious instruction all thru school.
And some of the Creation 'Science' examples shared publicly are simply lies. Junk science & invented facts.
Cute start to the video. It seems I keep coming back cos you are just so darn likeable.
Drive from Palm Springs to LA, and you go from blue skies to brown skies.
“You might find me in the corner” 🤣 me too mate!
Ok Ryan, whilst Arvo IS a slang word for afternoon. We don't actually say it like Happy Arvo. We use it more like ' going to the the shops this arvo' or 'what you doing this arvo.' Happy Arvo is not how we use it. Just letting you know, not being nasty or anything, Cheers bud
“Gud Arvo” might be more common…
Never “Happy”.
Exactly! Whadda ya up to this arvo mate? How was you arvo? Did you have a good arvo? Heading off on holidays tomorrow arvo.
I was wondering why HAPPY ARVO kinda sounded a bit odd. We would normally say - Have a good arvo. Or more Australian lately is 'Have a good one' instead of Have a nice day.
@@rubyruby1847 I don't see a anything wrong with wishing a happy arvo. Just because it's not our usual Aussie slang, it's intention is positive. I would be more inclined to say "have a happy arvo", & perhaps I will. We need a lot more "happy" in this world.
I believe it would be worth a good giggle to watch you react to best of karl stefanovic. A bloody true living aussie legend hahah
I live in a place called Kangaroo Flat (which is in Bendigo which is Victoria’s 4th biggest city) and trust me when I say I could ride a Roo everywhere if I wanted!
I live in White Hills lol - less Roo's here...
I think most Australians like a lot about America. Most Americans are friendly. Entertainment/movies, sport. The food is nice. We speak the same language. Americans invented a lot of cool things. A lot of great ideas have come out of the US like "I have a dream" and, in my personal opinion, the 1st and 4th and 5th amendments. Our constitution even takes some inspiration from the US in terms our Senate (although in my opinion, our Senate avoids some of the problems with the US Senate). We just don't like the lack of gun control/the shootings, police brutality, recent abortion bans, the unfair+divided political system and the weird aggressive nationalism/patriotism, and the military invasions.
Americans didn’t invent cars 😂 Germany did.
Freedom of speech and of the press (1st Amendment) can be traced back to the UK and Swedish common law in the 1600's, along with the first moves toward freedom of religion and the right to remain silent. The French introduced the modern concept of free speech as an inalienable right before the US too in 1789. I think a lot of Americans operate under the delusion that it is their constitution which establishes international human rights or influences the formation of human rights law in other countries..... and very few have ever heard of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, much less recognise that the US is a signatory to it and thus, has a lawful obligation to adhere to it under international law.
@@Dr_KAP France invented the car!
@@anserbauer309 Here in Australia, the previous government (in power until last month) raided the media and did secret trials, because the media revealed spying and war crimes. While the idea of free speech did not originate in America, they are one of the first to codify it in constitutional law (and certainly one of the oldest still existing constitutions)
Of course, the US has also taken the 1st amendment too far, saying that it protects unlimited secret political donations (Citizens United v FEC)
@@MrGutfeeling I was at a trivia night just last week and the answer was Germany (Karl Benz).. but maybe it depends on what you define as a car/automobile/ motor wagon 😉 but anyway we at least agree it wasn’t the US 😝
Australians tend to love Americans just like Americans tend to love Australians. We are very similar "can do - land of opportunity" cultures with both welcoming migrants from all over the world, who then work hard and build a new future free from the poverty and oppression in whatever land they come from. It is a cross-Pacific bromance, with both countries having a fondness for Britain. As a result, the new AUKUS defense pact between Britain, US, and Australia, seemed like the most natural grouping in the world. We are brothers in war and peace.
so, coke, soda, and pop. See, we all grew up with American TV shows and Movies and know those names. I know I have seen Soda Pop bottles on TV. But here in Australia we literally call them Soft Drinks.
Btw good Aussie Accent Impression. This is the hardest accent to do for a Non Aussie. I have seen people try and no one ever gets close. You and Miles from The Commodity are pretty good. Props to you for that man. Loving your channel.
I love your videos. As a proud Aussie it is great to watch your reactions to a lot of this stuff. I just love watching the looks on your face. I have been to Arizona and New Orleans. In Scottsdale the people were soooo friendly. I couldn't believe how the cars just stop to let you cross the road no matter where in they are, not at a crossing. And New Orleans, wow! I was on a high the whole time I was there and I don't even drink!! People were so friendly and the music just brings every culture together. I want to get back there one day. Hope to see you make it over here one day as well.
I am surprised none of these people on this video mentioned the drop bears, lol.
We say prawns, not shrimp, and we don't barbecue them that often. The "shrimp on the barbie" thing came from a tourism ad that Paul Hogan did for the American market. It really annoys us when Americans say shrimp, but it's not your fault!
I did enjoy working alongside US Marines and Army when I was in the Australian Army and it kills me when the insurgent extreme left tries to destroy all positives of the Nation. Semper Fi to Ed the Head, hope he's still riding.
HAPPY ARVO.. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before Australians actually start saying this!!
Gday. "another shrimp on the barbie" is from a Paul Hogan travel advert. See movie Crocodile Dundee. It was made for USA so the language was changed for American understanding. Only north-eastern Aus put prawns on their barbies. Honey and garlic bbq prawns are pretty awesome. I finally subbed!
The Shrimp on the Barby thing was an Australian tourist Ad campaign from the 1980's starting Paul Hogan aimed at the US who would not know what a prawn was.
And body offended by an American calling a prawn a Shrimp is an idiot.
Congrats on the new bub on the way.
Cheers from Australia
Come to the Capital of the Outback, Broken Hill NSW! Lots of cool mining history stuff to check out here. Plus there’s a Mad Max 2 museum at Silverton which is about 25 min drive from here.
I’m surprised no one mentioned your political system that seems to be in disarray right now. Otherwise, Hawaii is my favourite place on earth and I hope I get to visit again before I expire . Love your vlogs Ryan 😀
True about the political system. It’s a shocker I think and the apathy of people not voting is sad.... Europe is my favourite continent so many different cultures 👍🇦🇺
In the US, your news and opinion shows primarily cover American only stories. Rarely do they cover other nation's stories in a positive light. This is because 'America is best' is so indellibly planted into your nation's psyche. Here, an American only has to sneeze and its news. We probably know more about American politics and public matters than most Americans. So this means that when an American approaches an Aussie on a subject, they assume they're educating them, and that doesn't go down well at all.
Mate, if you make a gofundme to come to Australia, I'll give you 10 bucks. You've put in the work and deserve it. We're a generous lot, I think you'll get enough.
And, when you make it to the Sunshine Coast, I'll shout you a cold one.
I'll contribute to that!
We LOVE you dude
Ryan, to cheer you up, I’m Australian - My daughter visited about 10 or 15 states in USA over a few years Re work - absolutely loved it, she had a ball. She took special pics and vids for me. She flew over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter and so much more. She also bought me back a keyring from every State she visited, they are all hooked together and hang proudly in my entrance hall. In her free time off she went to many live shows, she loved Cirque De Soleil as she knew 2 Aussies in the show, free tickets. Oh She loved Vegas so much her Partner took her to Vegas for her birthday. She actually never complained about the USA or the people she met 😊. Work trips stopped when Covid hit.
My favourite place in Aus is Bithry Inlet on the South Coast of NSW. “Off the beaten track” and the perfect place to while away a beautiful amount of time. ❤️
Ryan you are easily one of my favourite Americans, have enjoyed your recent YT's.
As much as I've enjoyed visiting Hawaii, Alaska and California, I can't see myself going back.
So much gun violence, and the cost of having an accident there, nah its not worth the cost/risk.
Would love to see you came over here and make some videos, but with a new baby on the way I guess that's on the backburner for now.
cheers from Oz.
PS: We've had koalas and kookaburras visit our home often, and have a whole flock of magpies that show up for breakfast sometimes.
what you call "soda" we call "SOFT DRINK" as its a "Soft Drink" compared to a beer :)
also the Aussie Accent is similiar to America how its so diverse & depends where you are from on the map.
if you live anywhere near an international airport/major city the accent is very multicultural. i Drove Toowoomba to Darwin (35hr drive) in march 2020 literally just before covid i got back and i didn't feel Aussie in some parts along the way ha. some Rangers have lived in that town for generations, some without electricity or much outside wordl contact, real crocodile dundie style haha
These Aussies are being very very polite,
Ryan you have restored my faith in Americans
servo (petrol / gas station), righto, fair dinkUM, bottelo (bottle shop for alcohol), arree (RSL club), footy (AFL, League or Rugby), snags (sausages)
Dude, this looks like Queensland to me. I'm not sure you'd get the same responses in Melbourne or Sydney.
You've NEARLY got the arvo thing down! Now you just have to forget the hard 'R' sound. Don't pronounce the 'R' at all. It's more like 'Ahvo'. The rule for an Australian accent- replace the 'r' with an 'h'.
After that the phrase to learn to get the 'ah' diphthong correct is 'Ask the master to pass the banana.'
Hi Ryan love from Australia . I love your videos Ryan. xx
Your Australian accent sounds English to my ears. Americans just can't do a true blue Aussie accent. I have a friend in LA that's a voice actor and can do all sorts of accents but even his Australian accent like a cockney. I am surprised that not one person mentioned guns.
When Americans try to do cockney they sound more like Australian.
I'd suspect that most Australian's experience of the US is the east and west coasts. I spent several years working with people from central US states (not, as far as I recall , Indiana!) and they are very different people...... The weirdest thing are the politicians. Its almost as if there is a bar and to be a politician you have to be able to get under it....
And your Australian accent.... nope; sounded just like a person from US trying to be Australian..... :-)
Australia 🇦🇺 loves you guys. That’s why we have just celebrated 💯 years mateship. With our two military’s we are a strong allie with you.
Well said 🇦🇺 🇺🇸
I'd love to see you react to more aussie street interviews as i really feel it can showcase alot of the personalities that are common here, i'd think it'd be a good laugh
LA smog got me in the lungs despite being a smoker at the time. But it was a long time ago. Skies might be blue now, not brown
Jeez mate that thing on your left temple looks like it has its own heartbeat lol
You have to watch Paul Hogan, he is the quinticentral Australia person. A Comedian, in the 80’s, THE PAUL HOGAN SHOW. This way he covers every Aussie crazy saying & doing. You can learn heaps about Australia.
Australia has many things in common with USA. USA gave us hotrodding and our car culture ,rockn'roll and I think because of our outback which is quite remote there is a wild west cowboy element and country and western music is popular like in the USA unlike any other countries and the surfing culture is huge here as we mostly grow up at the beach . Both county's are sport crazy .
Other good race is the Tatt's Finke Desert Race two Day event takes place in Central Australian Outback
Only two places in the US I want to visit is Carmel, Indiana along with Park City, Utah.
One to see all those expensive homes and the other because it looks like a great, almost chill place to visit. For a few weeks, perhaps.
One day.
*In the corner is the best place. Watching. Listening. Learning.
We might be similar in some ways but I’m glad we don’t have the gun problem you guys have and we have a lot of fat people here in Aus as well
hey bud, I like you. I genuinly think you are actually learning stuff while reacting to these vids. I am on a bit of an Aussie pub rock kick ATM. The quintessential song from that era is The Angels. Am I ever Gonna See Your Face Again live and the way we changed that whole song just screams Aust to me... as an Australian
I visited big cities and small country places, had a really good look around and only met one obnoxious American the whole time, loved it and want to go again sometime
I know what we see in the media doesn't represent all Americans. I have friends in Kentucky and they are intelligent, wonderful people!
Hello from Henley Beach, South Australia 🐨🇦🇺🦘
Americans absolutely cannot do an Australian accent, always sounds English or maybe even Kiwi. 🙄 But we do have a lot in common, except for guns and politics. And I'd imagine that a kangaroo would be a lot harder to ride than a wombat, so why bother...
I think the idea is to climb in the pouch. Some type of nausea can be expected from first time riders getting accustomed to the hopping though.
I've visited the U.S. twice, last time in 2018, and found the people to be genuinely lovely, very friendly and keen to know about Australia. The one thing I would say is that many Americans don't know much about anywhere outside of America. I'm NOT saying they're stupid, they just tend to be insular. Australians know a lot more about America because we've been exposed to the culture through film and television. I don't think it's the average American's fault either. They were genuinely excited to know more. I'd blame the media and education system. I'm hoping that's changed a lot with the advent of the internet and social media. I've certainly made some great friends over there.

I hit a wombat south of Sydney in my car: the wombat just walked away after causing $3000 damage; maybe he should have left his number so that I could've claimed on his insurance.🤺🇦🇺🇺🇸
I forgot: I can't understand America's politics!🇺🇸
Like Americans, we love our air-conditioners!
🆒
I am Australian and I can't believe how generous Americans are, on average Americans donate to various charities about 1.3 billion $ per day
in 2019 alone America donated $448.66 billion, basically half a trillion. If America actually used that money to pay off its national debt, America would be debt free years ago.
My impression is that they need to, where as us in Australia have much broader safety nets so the need for charitable organisations is much lower (although they still play a vital role)
Aussies trying to talk American, that was hilarious 😆
For real. And they say Murricans can’t do ausssie accents. It’s not like we can’t do American accents good as well
Americans can't do accents for shit.
Yet half of Hollywood movies are full of British or Australian actors.
@@Yumm...
Australians are very competing with there sport pls make a vid watching afl best marks or hardest hits it CRAZY. AFL is Australia biggest sport and stands for australian football league
As you record in your future baby's nursery. (I think that's what you said in another video) it reminds me of one difference between U.S and Aus and that's tjhe responce to child beauty pagents. Most Aussies find them repugnant whilst it seems many American's think they're a great achievement. Ryan would you want your child entering these events?
Yes, I think they're nothing short of child abuse. Training little girls to think that life revolves around just beauty, plus the PRESSURE it puts on children is horrendous. The bottom line is that these pushy mothers want to live vicariously through their children. It's so wrong. Just let them be kids, get covered in mud, skin their knees, climb a tree or two, and just be happy kids
I traveled to NY and I. Had I lovely time loved to sites and actually apart from some really rude ppl who actually made me laugh I had a wonderful time
7:48 Fosters is a beer.
If you come to Australia you should visit the Blue Mountains. It is breathtaking and has the steepest "train" in the world.
I don't like US politics. I love the country and the people.
I really like Americans. It was said in the video that we are much alike... and my own experience says we are. There are good ones and bad ones, just like us, but I believe there are more good than bad [again, like us]. I think you are largely a warm, welcoming and generous people to a fault. You stand by your friends in good times and bad. What more can I say?
G’day mate! We love Americans 🇺🇸We actually look up to Americans like they’re our big brothers, anyone that has visited America come back and rave about it. Cheers 🍻
1. "Happy arvo?", "good arvo?". (NO. We DON'T say those things. Only Americans say that to us, because they think it sounds like something Aussies WOULD say).
2. We DO say "have a great arvo" (at the end of a conversation during the morning and/or afternoon, but NEVER at the start).
3. "G'day" (but NOT "gooday"), plus "owzitgoin'?" ("How's it going?", aka "How are you going/doing?"). Those things are said at first hello.
Forsters beer was promoted overseas as what we drink here but no one drinks that crap
I live in the south. We call it coke. No one calls it pop around here.
Hey Ryan love. It's kinda cute that you are so fascinated by Aussies. Most Australians are down to earth, have a sense of humour and can take being laughed at. My take on America has changed since Donald Trump and the political system there I think could be simplified. As for the filibuster!!! A real concern for me is the regular crime involving guns and mass murders. Just today I listened to a clip on a Walmart massage shooting. Having said all that i do believe that the Aussie's and Americans always have been and always will be great allies. Love watching your clips and seeing you so entertained by us folk from the land down under.
You’re one of the good ones ryan
Happy Arvo! 😄
