@@Sarara14 ain’t you precious unless by old folk and even then context matters but is rarely sincere unless young kids are the topic or teen or younger in outfits they’d never wear of their own volition. I’ve rarely heard good on ya mate from an Australian that didn’t have a follow up F bomb lol they didn’t invent the word but they might have perfected its use.
As a floridian, I don't know what a shoey is but if it's drinking something weird out of a shoe then I am totally down to do it. And if anyone actually knows what it is then I am very interested
You might wanna recheck that. From a Quick google search: " Australia has the highest reported methamphetamine (ice) use per capita in the world, according to the latest data on illicit drug consumption released today." 30 June 2022
My favorite quote from this campaign is “I refuse to take responsibility for this not cause I didn’t do it just cause I refuse to take responsibility for this”
Makes me think "Margaritaville" Orlando merch LOL- flip flops for that "lost shaker of salt". Extra strap for salt on one and lime strap on the other! 😎
Well and France. The aussies have more brit hating blood as they got alot of Irish and Scottish prisoners sent there. But america and Canada are the English French children. Aussie and the new Zealanders are our other like half sibling.
As a floridian I appreciated the last joke and if you are going to ask why I live in Florida it's because I'm a broke young adult and my elderly family members live here.
@@Toy_soldierthebetterone mate has a bi flag in their pfp. As a floridian, 99% of the people here are crazy red necks. So, it ain't exactly the best place for gays.
@@metroidhunter965anywhere in the north is prophetic compared to the South they're discriminated against us calling us racist for waving a flag that is just our heritage that's not racist everyone tends to forget that it was America not the Confederacy that owned the slaves first you have no right to call us racist unless you're calling yourself racist learn your history cuz the British and the French own slaves their flags aren't racist now are they how about you keep your mouth shut about our heritage is Heritage not hate
As an avid outdoorsman, I can identify every harmful animal, plant, and insect in my area and more. I might need a second brain if I had to know every bad thing in Australia.
LOL...yeah, I just saw a dude from Australia say that Australia isn't more dangerous than America(actually he said Wisconsin as its where we're both from...but he's lived there 50 years, I've been alive for less than 40)...he said they just like the reputation of being tougher! Not sure if it's modesty or what...but the Aussies...I'm pretty sure they are tougher and shit is more dangerous...
@@logana1999 No, he was specifically talking about the animals, insects and other shit that can kill you there. And yes, it's exponentially worse than Wisconsin(or America). Maybe not South Africa or remote places in South America, but certainly more dangerous than America...and sure as FUCK more dangerous than Wisconsin. I have a few hundred acres and a cabin in Northern Wisconsin and you have Bear...which are scared of you unless they're with Cubs. And...Wolves that are 70 pounds and not nearly as big as the Canadian Wolves? The Box jellyfish and the thousands of different spiders...but it's more than just that. I have a place about as rural as you can get. 15 minutes from another house, 30 from "town" which is 2 gas stations and 6 bars...but you can be EASILY hours and hours away from people in Australia and therefore treatment. And NO, their worst species were not from colonialism. Please tell me which ones are from colonizing Australia?
@@sstorm1971 Quokkas will photobomb your selfies and smile as you pose with them instead. Maybe they can kill people, but they're not sure of how yet. Or it's a scheme to lull us into taking them for granted.
@@That_0ne_guy_FLnope, American crocodiles definitely aren't docile, they're quite aggressive, just smaller than their Aussie cousins. Gators just want to be left alone but crocs looking for smoke🤣🤣🤣
To be fair though, while those guys are quickly deadly, brown recluse bites cause necrosis of the flesh and are absolutely god awful and horrifying bites, I’d take the quick death any day
I'd rather take on a widow than a recluse, and I've actually got the recluse scar.... That tissue NEVER grows back. And my nephew had people from the CDC in his hospital room when he was bitten by a recluse....
@Melissa Thompson I was referring to the fact that redback spiders and black widows were in the same family. I agree that the recluse has a nastier bite than the widow.
@FrenchLightningJohn It's still a nasty medically significant bite. If I remember correctly, they used to kill more people before we developed an antivenom.
I grew up in Georgia . I live in Australia for all most 10 years. This was so funny and correct. I worked for the Federal Police. I one day used the phrase " Bless your heart, on a superior who had chewed me out. She just looked confused. After leaving my direct boss asked me what it meant, I told him and he had to pull the car over he was laughing so hard. I like to think I planted a Southern seed as I was told years later in a email from that boss that he and others had used it.
nice way to tell someone to screw themself. i love it ahh bless your heart hope your day gets better if you get mad youre an asshole if you say nothing youre an asshole you are limited to one reply YOU TOO!
Legit though. Even where I live in Central Arkansas, there is a roughly 50/50 chance of having either sweater weather or shorts and tank top weather for Christmas.
Not wrong. I moved from Nashville to Florida as a child and couldn't decide whether I was thrilled or devastated to play outside on Christmas day, barefoot, in shorts. My six year old self was demanding, "explain, please." 🤔😒
As a bonafide Australian you almost aced it but the term is “thingy or thingies” Absolutely enjoy a laugh watching your videos. Keep them coming please. Cheers from Janet in Australia 🇦🇺👋
Dude, I used to help my boyfriends sister watch a 3 year old little girl, and when bluey was on, the child may have been in the room, but the adults were the ones really watching it🤣
@@stacia2016My niece watches it and I've peeked in at times in an attempt to be responsible and guage what she is watching. Its surprisingly wholesome for 2023.
@@ChaoticGoodPeasant23same my two nephews love bluey. They wanted to watch it on tv and I though it was gonna be your average kids show of today. Although I actually enjoyed watching acouple episodes with em, I like the characters and the family aspect overall it’s a pretty solid show for 2023
Louisiana here: we're pretty much the same here, we had an Auzie that went to my church growing up. "Only difference is hurricanes instead of bush fires."
Love this. I’m an Australian citizen living in the south. The similarities doesn’t escape me. Though the ants bite harder I Australia and a mossey bite sent my kid to the ER. .
@@kilyaded7332 yep. In Australia we have bull ants and they will chase you. They bite hard. We also have ants that are about an inch long and they look half spider. In addition we have sugar ants. If you leave anything on your counter, even a few crumbs, expect that an army might arrive. This happens in any house no matter how fancy or how humble. Plus we have fire wants too.
@@Max_Griswald bill ants. They will chase you like the magpie will. They bite hard and mean. Ants that are an inch long and look like spiders. I did not get their name and I don’t want to. Sugar ants ready to swarm a single crumb on your kitchen. No matter how much spraying. They always come back like a horror show.
As a fella from the mtns of NC who married a Sheila from Melbourne and spends half the year in Oz with our 2 boys with both passports: Can confirm. And additionally one of my friends aptly described Australia saying, “it’s really just redneck Europe.” Again, he’s not wrong.
As a Floridian, I can definitely say we will all try a shoey at some point no matter how many people will say not to do it. Also definitely "ain't you precious."
So a crocodile is a loud backtalking drama queen that cries when the snow melts. Just having fun. Crocodiles are more dangerous. Florida has unfortunately been invaded by Nile crocodiles.
I gotta say it as a southerner I love Aussies. Never clicked better with someone from another country than I have with rowdy German and Australia folks.
My poor poor aussie fiance... He barely understands me when my accent pops out much less when I start using every bit of slang I know. He's just precious. I'll help him get on right so no one hurt him.
I'm from Kentucky, and I'm a redhead. My husband is Aussie. I've been living in Australia now for five years. They get used to the "Bless Your Hearts". 😂
A love for barbecues, being known for hot weather, a popular restaurant chain with a regional name, being known for their Non-rhotic Accents, their wildlife. Southerners and Australians have a lot in common. 😂
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus Both had a pretty interesting relationship with the Mohawk hairstyle, the mullet hairstyle, and a unique interest in trucks. ... Yeah, the list really goes on! 😂
I watch Footy and cheer for the Geelong Cats. I got a whole mess of Australian Football players at the top of my favorite Australians list. Didn't even think of them other lads until y'all mentioned them.

My favorite southern phrase comes from my Grandfather, who told me I was “lyin like a rug” when I told him something. My favorite word is critter too. It’s just fun to say.
I’m sorry, but your gators and cottonmouths ain’t got a patch on our snakes and salty’s. I was reading how venomous a cottonmouth is on Wikipedia and it’s like, “[it can cause] …in rare instances, even death.” Aw, how cute 🤣 But one thing that does terrify/impress me is that Florida is the only place in the world where you can get gators and crocodiles. But I do honestly think most of Australia has a lot in common with America’s South. My mum’s best friend lives in Mobile, Alabama (roll tide), and we have so much in common. 💞
Yeah, as I was saying in another comment on here, the one area in which the US has inarguably more dangerous animals than Australia is large mammals. Dingoes are the size of coyotes; we also have wolves, mountain lions, and bears, plus some large herbivores such as bison and moose.
We have tons of videos of gators and crocs at the doors and ringing bells, making knocking sounds and getting it caught on the ring video! Talk about scary, but bears standing tall at your front door are even scarier to me and we have tons of those incidents in the South too. In SC and FL always check your pools for gators before getting in. It's a big problem in Hilton Head
Georgia used to be a prison colony, and every Floridian who is actually full-blooded southern has their roots in Georgia... Actually, now that I think about it, half of the South has their roots in Georgia, sooo...
"red back spider" Black widow. The brown recluse isn't even technically lethal to adults, and only around 30% of bites even need a trip to the hospital, but a black widow'll kill ya... Almost always.
@@ericwolf9664 is that what I said? Pretty sure it definitely is *_not_* Most (around 60% of) brown recluse bites don't require treatment _in a hospital_ , they usually affect a small area and can be treated at home without issue. They could get infected and that could certainly be a problem so you don't want to ignore it completely, but unless you have multiple bites, a severe reaction, the bite affects a large area, or is in a sensitive area, a trip to the hospital is rarely necessary. And even when treatment at a hospital or emergency center is necessary, a brown recluse bite is almost never fatal in healthy adults unless you're allergic... But then again, peanuts can be deadly if you're allergic and we don't consider them lethal or threatening.
@@ericwolf9664 and for the record, this is coming from someone who absolutely _hates_ spiders. They're basically demons. But the brown recluse is just not comparable to the redback spider of Australia.
@@christopherduncan6630 I'm gonna have to side with @ericwolf9664. At least the black widow is kind enough to kill you quickly. Even 30% still sounds like its too high of a number, and we're talking about a bite that sends you not just "to the hospital," but "to the hospital in the Southern US." I'd personally rather be told that I only have minutes left to get my life right with God.
Huntsman spiders are only harmful if they crawl out of the dash when you're driving down the freeway. Keeping them around does wonders for controlling the fly population
Had a friend in Australia when I lived there that told me a little saying they have: 4 guys in a bar arguing over who’s country is best. 1 American, 1 Chinese, 1 guy from Greenland, and 1 Australian. American says his country is best because their flag is the best, Chinese guy says his country is best because they have a wall that you can see from space, guy from Greenland says his country is the best because they have the greenest and best grass in the world (yes I know Greenland is actually just ice). Finally the Australian chimes in an says no no no your all wrong. Australia is the best country because we have kangaroos that will jump over your wall, take a shit in your grass, and wipe its ass on your flag.
Florida is like if people had three entities helping you decide good or evil. Instead of just having the Angel and the devil/demon you have a third being, I shall call "Random" a shapeshifting entity that tells you to do random stuff. For example an annoying kid running around a waiting room. The angel says to ask the kid nicely to quiet down. The devil says shout at the kid to Shut up!! In this situation Random suggest these three objections. 1. Trip the kid so get's hurt and stops running around. 2. Start shouting louder and running around in order to make the kid stop sense they are not getting attention. 3. Pretend to talking on the phone and make up some story about an evil monster that comes and eats kids who run around in waiting rooms. Then make it seem real by talking about some kid who encountered said monster was taken and somehow came back years later looking like they did when they disappeared.
Basically Florida is the country’s version of the wabbajack that you get from sheogorath in the elder scrolls 5 Skyrim dlc! The staff that casts random spells that have random effects! As a native Floridian I accept this comparison!
Don’t go running through tall grass in summer Always excersise caution when flipping things over outdoors, don’t touch the cone shells, and check the rock pools and you’ll be fine in Australia
Now I'm going to have to look up why you don't touch cone shells in Australia... Edit to add the answer: because the snail could still be living in it, and may inject you with a venom that can paralyze your lungs.
Yep and we got some of your rattlesnakes that hitched rides to the ATL, Please come get them and the whatchamacallit we had in the '96 Olympics...it might be related to thingamajigs AND we don't want it anymore. We got too many doohickeys anyhow so no more space. Thanks ever so much! .... Lol
Lol love it! I just wish it went for longer. So funny because I’ve only just found your content but can’t count the amount of times I think hey that’s just like us here in Aus! Haha 😆
Matt, when are you going to do acting professionally? You are so talented! The jokes are always on point and your comedic timing is golden! The Aussie accent here is pretty dang good for a Southerner too! Also, if you want to collab on a South vs. California video, I might know a California guy (Spoiler alert: Me lol)!
Matt! you should collab with the Fairbairn brothers from Australia! they have your sense of humor and i feel reasonably confident that they would do it. 😊
@Paul Joyner true, and its the most famous one by far, but around 20000 convicts were shipped to the Virginia's in the 1700's before the Revolutionary War.
I ALMOST DIED FROM A BROWN RECLUSE. ok maybe I'm over exaggerating but they said if I had waited another day to get it checked out I would had have to go the ER for like a week and be on IVs
My sister had a boyfriend decades ago who got bit on the chest by one. He was fine, but the whole area around the bite got so nasty from the necrotic effect. I feel sure it caused some scarring after it healed up.
Oh yeah, Australia, nice big country, plenty of land. Only about 5% of it is habitable, if you go inland there's 10,000 different things that can kill you in a 5 mile radius, bit still. Nice folks.
