Speaker 1: brilliant Australian comedian. He's based in la these days, which

7
00:00:26,524 --> 00:00:29,244

Speaker 4: Is that your mate?

14
00:00:40,604 --> 00:00:43,483
Speaker 5: It's my favorite Australian saying, and it happens. I've had

15
00:00:43,524 --> 00:00:45,804
Speaker 5: to explain it to Americans of what it actually means.

16
00:00:45,844 --> 00:00:47,684
Speaker 5: So it's when you're walking along the street with a

17
00:00:47,684 --> 00:00:49,724
Speaker 5: friend of yours and you see, I don't know, maybe

18
00:00:49,764 --> 00:00:52,043
Speaker 5: a lunatic, and you just nudge your mate and go,

19
00:00:52,564 --> 00:00:55,084
Speaker 5: is that your mate? Insinuating they hang out with that person.

20
00:00:55,284 --> 00:00:56,404
Speaker 5: It's a great game to play.

21
00:00:56,524 --> 00:00:59,884
Speaker 2: Yeah, it all and sometimes it can be referred to

22
00:01:00,164 --> 00:01:03,244
Speaker 2: yourself as well, like a made of mine. He was

23
00:01:03,284 --> 00:01:05,204
Speaker 2: out and I went past on my motorbike and his

24
00:01:05,283 --> 00:01:06,644
Speaker 2: mate it is that your mate?

25
00:01:06,724 --> 00:01:09,924
Speaker 6: Yeah, And then I thought, well, I'm now part of it.

26
00:01:10,164 --> 00:01:10,884
Speaker 2: Is that your mate?

27
00:01:11,003 --> 00:01:14,644
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's different levels of it. Yeah, it's old mate. Yeah.

28
00:01:14,724 --> 00:01:16,364
Speaker 5: You can say it about your kid if they're doing

29
00:01:16,364 --> 00:01:18,764
Speaker 5: something ridiculous to your partner, you go, is that your mate?

30
00:01:18,804 --> 00:01:21,444
Speaker 5: Like your kids stumbling around and you go, that's not

31
00:01:21,524 --> 00:01:23,164
Speaker 5: my kingness, that's your mate.

32
00:01:23,964 --> 00:01:27,084
Speaker 1: There's so much wonderful Australian thiss in you and your comedy.

33
00:01:27,203 --> 00:01:28,803
Speaker 1: How does that translate around the world?

34
00:01:29,124 --> 00:01:31,444
Speaker 5: Well, I have That's why I explained most of our

35
00:01:31,484 --> 00:01:33,884
Speaker 5: culture to the world. I didn't realize how ridiculous we

36
00:01:33,884 --> 00:01:36,324
Speaker 5: were until you go outside and then you start calling.

37
00:01:36,564 --> 00:01:38,244
Speaker 5: The rest of the world calls it a traffic cone,

38
00:01:38,284 --> 00:01:40,564
Speaker 5: a normal orange traffic cone, and we've decided to call

39
00:01:40,604 --> 00:01:43,164
Speaker 5: it a witch's hat. We're the only people who do that.

40
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:45,244
Speaker 5: We just think it looks like the hat of a witch.

41
00:01:45,644 --> 00:01:48,084
Speaker 5: But think about construction workers going, can we get a

42
00:01:48,124 --> 00:01:49,404
Speaker 5: dozen witches hats here?

43
00:01:49,444 --> 00:01:51,004
Speaker 4: It sounds ridiculous.

44
00:01:50,964 --> 00:01:53,124
Speaker 2: And it's funny. You said, I was in Canada last

45
00:01:53,204 --> 00:01:55,524
Speaker 2: year and I was taking They said, where did you

46
00:01:55,564 --> 00:01:58,244
Speaker 2: meet your wife? And I said, down the snow and

47
00:01:58,244 --> 00:02:00,524
Speaker 2: they said, what do you mean? And we go to

48
00:02:00,564 --> 00:02:02,364
Speaker 2: the snow, and they said, we're in Canada. The snow

49
00:02:02,444 --> 00:02:04,484
Speaker 2: comes to us, but you go to the snow.

50
00:02:04,644 --> 00:02:06,804
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have to search for the snow in Australia

51
00:02:06,844 --> 00:02:07,444
Speaker 5: and find it.

52
00:02:07,644 --> 00:02:09,124
Speaker 6: It's just that's what we do.

53
00:02:09,204 --> 00:02:10,764
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're right. You don't realize it about your

54
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:12,284
Speaker 3: own culture until you step out of it.

55
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,564
Speaker 5: No, but then you you know. I love our culture

56
00:02:14,564 --> 00:02:16,164
Speaker 5: and I love bringing it to the world and showing it.

57
00:02:16,204 --> 00:02:18,484
Speaker 5: I just did twenty seven shows around Europe and people

58
00:02:18,564 --> 00:02:21,003
Speaker 5: were coming out. A lot of people come out and say,

59
00:02:21,043 --> 00:02:23,564
Speaker 5: you're how we learn how to speak English, and I say.

60
00:02:23,444 --> 00:02:24,523
Speaker 4: Well, don't do that.

61
00:02:24,684 --> 00:02:27,404
Speaker 5: I'm just done doing Australian slang. If you do this

62
00:02:27,483 --> 00:02:29,684
Speaker 5: anywhere else around the world, it won't make any sense.

63
00:02:29,764 --> 00:02:31,324
Speaker 3: What do the Germans make of it, because they're not

64
00:02:31,324 --> 00:02:32,324
Speaker 3: famous for their whimsy.

65
00:02:32,564 --> 00:02:35,444
Speaker 5: No, but they sat quietly and efficiently and listened to

66
00:02:35,483 --> 00:02:35,883
Speaker 5: the show.

67
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:38,043
Speaker 6: Berlin was a hard one.

68
00:02:38,084 --> 00:02:40,484
Speaker 5: They were actually like waiting for me to pause, and

69
00:02:40,524 --> 00:02:42,364
Speaker 5: then they would laugh because they're like, oh, this is

70
00:02:42,404 --> 00:02:44,924
Speaker 5: the place to laugh. And I realized what was happening,

71
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:46,124
Speaker 5: and then I just made fun of it.

72
00:02:46,244 --> 00:02:46,404
Speaker 3: Right.

73
00:02:46,524 --> 00:02:47,524
Speaker 4: Hamburg was a great show.

74
00:02:47,524 --> 00:02:49,564
Speaker 5: I don't know why Berlin they were It was like

75
00:02:49,603 --> 00:02:51,364
Speaker 5: they were going to a ted talk about how to

76
00:02:51,404 --> 00:02:52,284
Speaker 5: speak Australia.

77
00:02:52,324 --> 00:02:54,164
Speaker 2: Well, Hamburg that's a home of the that's where the

78
00:02:54,163 --> 00:02:55,124
Speaker 2: Beatles got their break.

79
00:02:55,324 --> 00:02:57,763
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's got a minute. They am like the Beatles.

80
00:02:57,764 --> 00:02:59,844
Speaker 5: Thank you for the comparison. You know what I'm laughing

81
00:02:59,923 --> 00:03:02,324
Speaker 5: is the comparison of you and Robert Irwin dancing on

135
00:04:57,124 --> 00:04:59,884
Speaker 5: pretty sure it's not. So it is an amplified version

136
00:04:59,924 --> 00:05:02,004
Speaker 5: of everything that you see and there's Look, if you

137
