- Thank you for watching me, a humble American, react to some more Australians about what they think about America! This is great fun. The Aussies are so positive. Thanks for watching!

We like Americans. We don't like American ignorance of the world outside its borders or the way the US treats its own people.
the first woman was a pom and the second one was a kiwi listen again
Yes, hit the nail on the head there👍
Spot on. We recognise most regular American are good people (besides the weirdos and psychos that get most of the media coverage), but their capitalistic government is horrible, including the education system that encourages Americans never to look or learn beyond their own borders with their 'America is the greatest' rhetoric.
Funny how none of the other replies mentions the US forcing Aus into 20 years of pointless wars....
@@Erizedd "A people get the government they deserve" - wise words?
I suspect the interviewee skewed most of this. I'm Canadian and spent 6 months in Brisbane after I finished university. Most people assumed I was American at first because of the similarity between Canadian and American accents, to their ears. Until I informed them that I was Canadian, not American, I didn't receive the warmest reception. However, once I told them I was a Canuck, their attitude towards me improved 100%.
No surprises there. From an Aussie, Canada and Australia share a lot of values/culture that we don't share with the US.
Public health care that we don't think is socialism
Politics that are not poisonously partisan
A somewhat liveable minimum wage
Generally friendly and polite
Gun control
To name a few.
Who doesn't like Canadians anyway? :)
My psychologist just got back from a visit home to Canada 🍁 we live in Tasmania Australia, she couldn't wait to get back and I was super excited to know everything about Canada 🇨🇦 😄😀🐨🇦🇺✌️.
I think the opposition to trumpism has helped my attitude to US people... but they do need to ask their government to give them something for the tax they pay. My best friend in school was son of a US diplomat ... ( prob CIA) .
Was gonna say, it probably depends on which city it was in. I’m from brisbane, and the common consensus I find is US bad
@@anonymousperson4350 Brisbane gave the USA Ken Ham!!!
I went to Texas for 3 months back in 1998. The people over there were great. As soon as someone heard me speak, they'd ask if I'm from Australia. All they wanted me to do was talk so they could hear my accent 😅😅
I went into a garage that I went to regularly and a guy that I'd spoken with was in there talking to his boss, I was at the checkout with 3 customers behind me when he pointed and called out "she's from Australia" Everyone looked at me, I giggled and said "G'day, how ya going" as I was leaving. 😅😅😅
Worked alongside with the US Military while I was an Australian Soldier and I have nothing but praise for the staunch Men and Women who served. Just breaks my heart to see how fractured the USA has become in recent times.
Exactly and how my government treats Military and their families is disgusting.
the ADF (Aussie Defence Force)l is the "Best Trained" Defence force in the world! by far!
our Tier 1 Commandos are better trained than Navy Seals & America has even used us in the past before their own Navy Seals!
@christine Perez
Respect to anyone who puts the uniform on, but it seems America "Worships" their military more so than other country it seems
@@TheLocalGent they preach the myth. They practice the reality.
@@godamid4889 meaning?
@@TheLocalGent us culture has probably got to be one of the most disrespectful towards its military I know of in the west.
It's shallow platitudes about pride and god and country, but as soon as they are discharged they may as well not exist.
They send them as cannon fodder to die on foreign lands so that oil and gas executives can maintain their profit margins.
They preach the myth that they honour the military, but in practice they do the exact opposite.
My mum used to have loads of American 'pen pals' (if you know what that is) when I was a kid, and when I was 12 she took me on a trip that she'd saved years for, to the U.S. All these people that she had corresponded with (never met) insisted that we come stay with them, so we landed in NY where someone picked us up and took us back to their home to stay a while, showed us around, fed us and generally made us feel at home, we then travelled across the country by bus, repeating that process over and over through 18 states over 2 months, ending in LA. Best experience of my life (probably would be a dicey thing to do these days,lol) Gorgeous, loving, giving people all the way. I fell in love with America and have managed to get back 4 times since. Sorry for the long story, just wanted to say I love you guys.❤
I've had an Australian penpal for more than 40 years and I hope to travel there some day. I love her and her family and I am very fond of the entire country. ( or I guess it's a continent). Don't mean to sound stupid but I love the accents. I love all my mates from Down Under. I consider them all my friends.
@@stacydetwiler1475 That's awesome, I hope you can make it over, and it's a country and a continent, so, right both times. 😊❤
@@stacydetwiler1475 Australia is the only continent that's one country. The reverse is not quite true as there are quite a few islands that form part of the country also. Then there's Antarctica and the land there claimed as Australian territory.
That sounds so fun
I have plenty of American online friends, some of which I've known for almost 10 years now and are very close friends of mine
Would definitely like to go over there at some point and hang out with them
At LAX airport an older couple that I held the elevator doors open for said thank you and I looked at them and said: oh no worries to which they screamed OMG Australians! Such beautiful people and I'm sure that I had the biggest smile after that. They told me all about their adventures in outback Australia and missed riding their elevator 5 times lol. Later they joined me and my 2 sons for lunch.
LOVE THE COUNTRY LOVE THE PEOPLE JUST GOVERNMENT IS SCREWED UP
this was filmed in a sea side place called Glenelg south west of Adelaide city.
7:46 An American will say if they are ok but an Aussie will say they are okay but they could be wounded. We will always say we are ok.
And we don't have lunch rooms at school we go outside and eat where ever we like.
Some private schools have lunch rooms
What about when it’s raining ?

HAPPY ARVO is Ryan's catch phrase.....
100% loved and accepted by his Aussie mates
Please respect it and don't be a boofhead
Hear hear!
Yep. Agree.
He's having a crack at least.
I’m team Happy Arvo!
However I do NOT like the American habit of hijacking others' words! 👎👎 and mispronouncing them!
Ummm Ryan, Not THAT dangerous you say ?....I got off my Aus to LAX flight, had to get down to the Tom Bradley end of the domestic terminal, so hadn't been on American soil longer than 15 mins from going through customs, I walked out the airport door towards the bus stop I needed, and next thing I knew I had 2 massive security guards on my back screaming at me to stay down, who pushed me to the ground.I didn't have a clue what the hell was happening. My head was finally free to look sideways, and bleeding heavily from my chin, both knees and elbow, they helped me up. Opposite the bus stop was a car that had been coming towards me with a sawn off shot gun pointed directly at me ( I was a single female travelling alone, and was targeted because of that). No they didn't catch the gunmen, they had used a hire vehicle...After all the drama and missing my connecting flight, I finally boarded to fly to Chicago O'Hare, I get off the plane, meet up with an old friend who I hadn't seen in 15yrs, open the front seat of her car, and there's a pistol sitting right there....NOPE, I couldn't take anymore, I went back into the airport and waited for my flight to Springfield Ill....that was June 2001 and then they throw Sept11th in the mix as well, couldn't get a return flight home for weeks, then winter set in and I came down with bronchitis and pneumonia, So spent Xmas 01 in Jacksonvile hospital until I could fly home in Feb 02, thank goodness I had used my brains and extended my travel insurance, because my bills came to almost 3 million USD. YEP, I sure was happy to get back to Aus after that trip lmao
O. M. G. 😳😳😳
Oh bless your heart.
Oh my goodness, that's a movie themed holiday, that would have been terrifying, 3 million!!!!! Shotgun, being pushed down I'm assuming to keep you from being shot, 9/11 petrified and broke the hearts of the whole world, oh crap, I've lived in Tasmania Australia my whole 51 years, I've only ever spent 5 awesome days in Melbourne, stories like this make me glad Tasmania is lost to everywhere else. Thank God we know good American people 🥺🙏💞, bless ya.
@@megs4193 Hugs right back at ya hon xx....Please don't let my story put you off travelling hon - travelling and immersing yourself in another culture for awhile, opens your mind, teaches you things you can't read in a book, you expand your knowledge and understanding of the world, and even after my bad experience, I still travelled for another few years before disability got me (MS). If you ever get the chance to travel, grab it with both hands hon, and enjoy every second of it, just make sure you have top travel insurance inclusive of a medical flight home to Aus, it's a necessity ( I've travelled to 26 other countries, lived in 2 others, so the odds of having a bad trip are very slim)....Being in WA, I fully understand you enjoying living in an obscure place, because WA is also obscure to most. I am actually saving my pennies at the moment to travel to Tassie again in 2025 ( I visited in my early 30s and didn't stay long enough, only 1 week) with another 3 single MS ladies and a support worker for 3 weeks (plus another week for travel) - Can't wait lol.
This sounds like the biggest load of baloney I have ever heard, I can't believe anyone would be so suckered in to think this was even remotely true that it happened to you. Closer to mental illness than a true story, easily, parts of it are possible but that's about it.
Americans are very generous and hospitable. When I was travelling through the United States in 1981 and 1985, I stayed with various families along the way; I found them great!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 We are to have a State-Funeral for Judith Durham (OAM), who passed away on Friday. Rest In Peace Judith. ✝️🇦🇺🌹
Yep...R.I.P., Judith Durham 💖💖💖🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Same here I spent 6 months in a RV in US and found the people wonderful
I am an Aussie. I like seeing your open-minded interest about the world. I left Australia when I was 30 years old, lived in Japan for three years, married an American and moved to the US in 1999. I don't mind living in the US. I have met lots of friendly people. Most of them like to ask me questions about Australia. One of the biggest differences is the way Aussie's are mostly the same, more socially equal and more cooperative. This might be because Australia's climate was very difficult for the first Europeans. People had to help each other to survive droughts and floods. The early immigrants to the US were looking for freedom from European monarchs and religious tyranny. Now the economic/social/political range of people in the US is more extreme. My observation is that the US population has always been more individual and competitive in social interactions, in sports, and in politics. One of the big differences that I had to adapt to is how US advertising can use freedom of speech to lie to people.
Hey Ryan, we don’t hate ya mate! We actually like you a lot because as an atypical Yank you know a lot about the the world outside of the ol’ USofA, you are respectful of other cultures, you like our slightly weird Aussie humour & you can actually laugh at yourself ! So it’s all good 👍 on a serious note I took my family to California for a 4- week holiday and everywhere we went we were treated like royalty, had an awesome time and could not get over how polite everyone was, can’t wait to come back !
They are polite to your face but behind your back?? Not so much.
@@RottnwomanThat also goes in reverse BIG TIME
Oh dear. The first older woman had a pommy accent and the second older woman had a Kiwi accent. Maybe the interviewer should have asked if they were Aussies, or how long they have lived here. Just a thought worth pondering.
just posted the same observation on another comment
I don't think the first lady was English. Older people were often educated to speak like that. I've had people ask me if I'm English a few times and I'm not, it was just the way I was educated and especially after going to acting school, you're taught to tone down the Aussie Strine.
@@becp488 The accent you're referring to was 'upper class' North Shore type of accent. Hers was definitely British, though she has been living here for quite some time, I believe.
@@becp488 possibly correct, and Adelaide has a posher accent
I spent 6 months travelling around the US on my own (hired a car). I met some amazing people and had an awesome time but the massive difference between the "haves" and "have nots" was distressing, the racism was rife, and the food was deplorable!
My home city - Adelaide, love that its filmed here. Beautiful spot!
Quite a few people being interviewed were not Australian. I could hear British and New Zealand accents.
Glenelg where it’s filmed is the tourist Mecca of Adelaide!
Yeah... that was left field. Aussies pride ourselves on the high quality of our meat - including in our burgers! Macca's here has signs up everywhere reassuring Aussies that their burger patties are 100% Aussie Beef! Australia supplies Japan with a lot of Waygu Beef so that was weird. {Of course if he's talking about our sausages... The standard supermarket snag is pretty dire! }
US food portions generally... = Enough Take Out to feed a family of 5 for a WEEK!
Does Ryan realise there were a few new Zealanders in the group? LoL 🤣😅happy birthday Ryan. I'm sad you rejected my offer to bring you here. Yes the huge AFL stadium is just down the road from my house in Melbourne City.
Australians like Americans who aren't loud, tell everyone how good they are and their country is. Anyone who is friendly, down to earth and worldly is generally well respected and there's plenty of Americans in that camp. Your accent is fine. It's in the NE that annoys many but that fits the 1st category. Arrogant, ignorant but hey not everyone is like that and that it's not fair to judge overall.
Really asking too many young 1's here who haven't travelled so only gain insight through the media which isn't a true representation of a country.
Ry is from New York! While I agree there are many loud, sarcastic, rude New Yorkers not all are and many are well educated, have lost the tacky "accent" and very friendly and nice ❤
Exactly spot on.
You must have sepo in ya. So just because you have traveled you know it all how arrogant. Bet you know jack about Australia ye, so traveling does not make you an expert. I'm indigenous people so I can guarantee you know jack about Australia.
@@marisaevancoe9837 Not sure if you read my comment thoroughly. Exactly what I stated. Met many of very amicable non ignorant Americans but find many have very little knowledge outside their own country and that's changing as many like Ryan explore Australia's lifestyles. More of a reflection on the education system there.
@@tracycameron1225 I'm not sure why you are so angry. No one knows everything. I've travelled widely through Australia and a fair bit around the world and been around long enough to know a reasonable amount. Didn't state anything derogatory about the indigenous community so don't understand why you bring that up.
Have to agree with Darren Hunt. I worked alongside American troops on exercise when I was in the Air Force [RAAF]. Personally, I found them to be a great bunch of people. There is a HUGE amount to admire about Americans [USA], what they have done for us all, are still doing and are determined to continue doing. My mother was born in the USA, my aunt spent her adult life in California teaching people who had speech and hearing difficulties. My grandfather was an engineer and helped in the building of the Hoover Dam. So, I despair when I see the almost irreparable harm which the likes of Donald Trump have visited upon this great nation. I shake my head in confusion at the reticence in bringing his ilk to account for the harm they have wrought. Your society faces such a dichotomy of belief which has not been seen since prior to WW2. At a time when you all ought to be drawing together, it appears that elements within your society have been hell-bent on breaking it apart.
I don't get it either. How can so many see Trump as a messiah? As in "Putin wouldn't have dared invade Ukraine if Trump was in the White House!". Wholesale national delusion is dangerous in any country. Yes, they seem to have taken polar opposite views on everything, with nobody willing to listen or reach out to meet halfway.
A nation with an admirable ''can-do'' attitude that ensures the poor ''can't-do''. A country that can spend vast sums on social improvement projects but refuses to even begin to tackle gun violence.
I agree as long as the US doesn't invade us for our resources lol
Adelaide! ... well Glenelg Beach.
my parents went to the USA and they also commented about the homeless and how concerning it was. They also noticed how crazy the politics is over there. The portion sizes were also something they commented on, they said that they got one meal that could easily feed a couple people
the portion sizes are insane, and the food is pretty average. we had a few lovely meals in chicago but paid a lot of money.
What state where you in?
Unfortunately we aren't looking out for people as we should a lot of homeless people I've seen are mentally ill and veterans. It's very sad but please don't let that deter you there are great people here who love and care for others and are eager to welcome foreigners with hospitality❤
Did you know most us veterans end up homeless… the government give no f’s about them it’s said
Everyone else is more obsessed with our politics than we are
no matter what, the number one major difference that affects absolutely everything is the sheer amount of people in america, so not matter what you pick to discuss it's always going to be 'more' there, more rich people, poor people, fat people, thin people, happy people, mean people, which just makes everything over there more intense lol
Thats why we talk about rates, not overall numbers. '
The US has around 13x the population of Australia in a country of equivalent physical size. (excluding Alaska)
People from Australia are extremely friendly. The last state I lived is a tourist destination and we saw backpackers all the time. I roomed close to a couple of Aussies and we had a blast. I even got to meet some Aussie futbol players and I fell in love 💕. Lol. Friendly and very very laid back group of people.
*Football :)

The lady that says she loves the beaches was british very british as in had an accent so strong shes only been in aus a few months, the guy who said id rather be there then her was american and had an american accent, the guy who said the sports are cool was a newzealander and the other guy who likes nfl was also newzealander.. the young kids said what they thought he wanted to hear to be in his video.. the lady that loves America is newzealander and the guy after her was irish lol... the guy filming must have cut out 95% of the answers and only kept the ones he thought would sound good in a video, because how else do you accidentally interview non australians in australia at random?.. this guy cherry picked the answers he kept for the vid and doesnt realise the difference between aussie NZ british south african or irish accents...
NO American can pick an accent. They always say I am "British" - the worst insult I can imagine! Personally, I blame my parents for insisting that I speak proper English!
The English woman could have been in Oz a lot longer than that when I lived in Oz I came across people that had lived there 40 years and their Scottish accent was as strong as the day they walked off the boat or plane
@@louisemiller3784 Like Americans they NEVER lose their accent.
she could have been a Brit living in AU, they keep their accents forever! but also he's at Glenelg which is the most touristy part of Adelaide. either way that woman hadn't been to the USA so how could she say the beaches are great? weird.
Most south Aussies sound more British than the East Coast due to being settled by religious and German people, the East Coast was settled by convicts and are more nasally spoken
I’ve been to the US three times and love the natural places. But I did not enjoy my last time as much - I felt the cultural divide was too great and for the first time I didn’t feel safe. It was also so difficult to find healthy food to eat.
I found the same with the food. It tastes okay but has all sorts of awful stuff in it. I got a steak at the Cadillac restaurant in Jackson WY and after I ate it the waitress mentioned it had been "marinated in brown sugar for 24 hours". I give up!
@@Rottnwoman I have often wondered why they seem to do that to their meat.
I grew up with farm food. Export quality lamb, beef and pork straight from the paddock to the plate. A good steak is ruined by sauces and marinades, imo.
@@godamid4889 Totally agreed - it's a genuine problem for my diabetic husband. Who would think that a steak would be contaminated with sugar? We will skip the USA and go to Europe in future.
@@Rottnwoman hadn't thought about the health side, but you're right.
agreed, the food and coffee is a bit poor though. and the fast food places are insane! SOOO many.
Seriously Ryan the number of Aussies I know out of hundreds of work colleagues, friends and relatives who like Trump can be counted on one hand. Maybe one and a half, being generous. We mostly think he's a douche. That ranges across the entire political spectrum. But Americans overall are pretty friendly (I lived there for a year) though many unfortunately don't know much about how the rest of the world functions and it always seems to surprise them when the answer is "not like the USA".
Many American's also don't seem to have much of an idea how their 'own' country operates as well.
I totally agree with you about Trump's popularity here in Oz. The orange idiot .. whose skin colour will likely match the colour of his inmate overalls by the time the Jan 6th hearings are over.
OMG, you know enough Trumpians to count on one hand lol, I still can't find enough to count on one hand. Mind you, not like I'm counting lol. I don't want to know any :(
"Seriously Ryan the number of Aussies I know out of hundreds of work colleagues, friends and relatives who like Trump can be counted on one hand. Maybe one and a half, being generous."
That's probably because you hang around bedwetters and dudes who get a hard on for Michael Bandt.
"That ranges across the entire political spectrum."
No most Australian conservatives support/ed Trump to some degree.
@@davidlee-michaels9430 "That's probably because you hang around bedwetters and dudes who get a hard on for Michael Bandt."
So with your comment, Ryan has now been educated as to how the quintessential "wanker" (USA = "jerk off") interacts on UA-cam. I'm ex aussie military and most of my friends are conservatively inclined. Almost all of them think Trump is a complete dipsh*t despite the fact that the majority of them vote conservative at our elections. I also think you mean *Adam* Bandt who is the leader of the Greens, though I've never voted for the Greens. But of course your tendency to throw around insults while making a dick of yourself because you don't even know the correct name of the political leader you're talking about does tell me a lot.......
You’re totally wrong mate. Most of the blokes I know love Trump
Been a few years since I last visited the USA. It really depends on what parts of the country you go too.
There are good and bad everywhere but the rise of homeless people is disturbing especially in California.
Your from Indiana and heard disturbing law changes coming to your state.
I love the way you say Happy Arvo,lve never heard that before,Catchy....♥️ Australia
I am not sure about other Aussie cites, but in Brisbane you would see 3 or 4 homeless people wandering around the "nightclub" district called Fortitude Valley. But most likely they did have a home or friends to crash at if the wanted. Most homeless people have places to stay but choose to wander the streets, asking for cigarettes' or a beer. They are generally harmless, and many people give them food or sandwiches. Some even become local famous hobos and people get to know them. I guess that's how few there are?
Not true at all, i was homeless in sydney and had no place to stay no family or anything, and believe it or not in australia if you have no address you get cut off centrelink permanently, and no ones hires the homeless guy who has no home no change of clothes and no ability to shower or to have bus money for getting a job... charity's give you sandwiches if you join in on there religious rant of the day, but its blackmail in the end they want you to work for free to get a sandwich tomorow... housing commision put me on a 12 yr waiting list, what else can a homeless person do other than ask for a cigarette?
And of the 200 homeless people i met around sydney only 2 had a place to stay (pretty sure they were meth addicts)
@@4kays160 I was talking Brisbane in general, not sure about Sydney.
@@overlordnews4075 I was just going to say that, I have a friend from Sydney who actually told me to never visit there, I think that's a bit harsh, Rob Reacts from the UK channel just went back to the UK, they went to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide 🤔 somewhere else, him and his wife Charlie loved it, they met up with subscribers, next time they're going to Queensland 😁😀👍👍👍👍👍 I just love people, they all look the same to me, humans 😄😃🇦🇺.
American here. I just want to say your comments are spot on about the food here in the U.S. I'm a pescaterian who likes grilled or steamed - everything fresh, super healthy. Way too much fried food offered here; how would someone even know what they're eating? The city we currently live in (we're original New Yorkers) was voted the fattest city in the U.S!!! I read all the comments and could go on and on. Yes, the U.S. is politically divided in a very bad way. Trumpster and Biden aren't the answer. A lot of Americans are lovely; some are horrid and don't have a soul. It all depends on where you visit and who you meet. Your country does sound quite intriguing I must say! Great sense of humor and friendly personalities! And truly beautiful ❤
I feel like each video I watch of yours, you're getting better and better and knowing what's going on. You're definitely learning. Interesting to watch.
Yes, we have wagu beef burgers.
Nice to see another lovely sunny day in my home town of Adelaide.
WOW! Wagu AND Wagyu?
@@Rottnwoman haha. I don’t eat meat, so am I excused?
Been to the US at least four times (for work)…. My Aussie accent opened many doors and got me good tables at restaurants. So much variety with availability of food, and goods in general. Hope to return with my wife for a decent tour some time soon.
Really, are you joking?
I lived in the US for a few years and I found the majority of people were friendly but I soon learned they had very different views on politics, guns and religion.
And while the food was cheap with huge portion sizes the ‘quality’ of the food was really sub standard especially when compared to Australian food, just not on the same level at all especially variety wise. Mostly hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs, ribs and diner type food. And so many fast food restaurants everywhere.
And don’t get me started on their truly awful coffee…
@@bellabana Yes, their coffee. Like a lot of things, Americans have been _told_ they're served good coffee, so they believe it. it ain't. Like they believe their country is the freest in the world...
I found them hospitable, interested in other countries, committed to things like animal welfare and not polluting. Mostly polite.
Ryan, you are doing a great job, because you are reaching out and trying to understand other cultures, and that is why you are being a cool and respectful American! Good on yah mate! And I’ve spent nearly 70 years in Australia 🇦🇺
Well said. Americans are perceived as the popular table.
The Adelaide city centre itself (his video appears to have been mainly Glenelg - a suburb about 10km SoutWest of the city itself) is a square mile - at one stage I think there was 5 or even 6 Maccas in it - probably technically on 1 street (Hindley Street and Rundle Mall (although a couple of the Rundle Mall ones were in foodcourts off Rundle Mall rather than in the mall itself) - I think other capital cities are similar.
Near Wangaratta (Vic) there's a Maccas on either side of the road (I think I've seen that elsewhere in Vic too).
Even in Suburbia I can imagine places where there's probably 2 within a mile - but can't think of a specific example offhand.
We love Americans Ryan. I've been travelling to the US for work and pleasure for 35+ years. I always feel welcome at at home in our own way. We share the same culture and lifestyle for the most part. Let's not forget about our very close political and defence allegiance. One thing I will say, I was on a Caribbean Cruise (ex Miami) in 1988 and seated at a table of 10 mid-westerners...now that was interesting! I was asked if we have TV, McDonalds and whether Kangaroos hop down the streets. Ummmmm.....! I had them going for a while - believing we have McRoo Burgers hahahahaha! God love you man... your channel is hilarious. And for what it's worth you guys have the BEST cars - I drive a '66 Mustang Convertible over here 🙂
I’m an Aussie that loves America, there’s good and bad no matter where you go, but in general from Americans I’ve met, I have always loved the people. One thing that might interest you is we actually have American football teams here, it’s not very popular but I played gridiron as a teenager for a few years
I am from Rockhampton (the "Beef Capital" of Australia). I take exception to the idea that we have inferior beef compared to the United States.
Yeah, that comment annoyed me so much… our beef is among the best in the world
Don't they raise a lot of their beef in intensive concrete feed lots, basically like battery farms, not on natural grass and other vegetation? Horrible practice.
@@papercup2517 No. They spread out the cattle over a large number and area of cattle farms where the cattle are free to graze.
@@WorldSacred Oh, sorry, I meant in the US, not Australia! My mistake for being unclear.
@@papercup2517 Ah. But, I doubt that is true for the United States. I would have heard something about that happening, given that my town relies on badmouthing other cattle industries in other countries.
Yeah Nah, I like your accent best Ryan. It's true , I've never been to America but I met American's in Italy on a day tour and they were so lovely. Californians in particular sought us out when they realised we were Aussies, we were like woah why are we so interesting, we're in Italy. The New Yorkers were lovely also but didn't seek us out, they were just very chill like us, not attention seekers and good fun with lots of stories at the dinner table. Is that a normal New Yorker? The Californians made the trip though as they were very genuine in their interest of Aussies. We felt like we'd made instant friends for life, but lol, once the tour was over never heard from them again. So that fake they are talking about might be a little true.
We had a similar experience in Quebec - probably they noticed that we are English speakers?
I was leaving a mate's place yesterday and as Ieft I said."Happy arvo mate", he replied "You too mate"... Maybe Ryan has started something here ... 😁
nah, it's still weird.
Happy arvo? Who wishes people a “happy” afternoon?! lol
@@llddau You read I do....lol
Happy arvo Ryan!!! No, in general, the Trumpster isn’t popular here (oz). In fact, most of my friends, who were regularly travelling to the states, have vowed not to visit while Trump was in power ( and now since the GOP is targeting women’s rights). The far right is a serious deterrent! Much like not supporting South Africa during apartheid!
I know plenty who like him. Perhaps a minority overall but not insignificant.
@@toby9999 yep agree… just speaking from my experience and the friends who do/did business in the US. :)
@@toby9999 you do know he cancelled a trade deal with Australia that was years in the making, and then hung up on our prime minister. The only reason we have the current US/UK/AU deal or whatever is because our parliament was talking about CANZUK, which would be an economic pact between Canada, UK, AUS and NZ.. this new deal cut Canada and NZ out and included the US.. I'm just saying, liking trump as an Australian is self-destructive, politically. Unless you are I'll informed.
Yeah, Bidens doing a much better job.
Trump 2024
As a teen we went over to Disneyland, it was great, we looked like a typical American family. But as soon as my father spoke and the illusion broke, well first came the patronising then our treatment by other people just plummeted. It got so bad, we begged him to just shut up. So in short lots of places to visit in USA but you really need to blend in to enjoy them properly.
I'm so sorry please don't think we are all this way I assure you a lot of people are welcoming and curious I know if Id be over the moon if I met an Australian because I never have but am fascinated with the world and culture. ❤❤
In Australia we often go by the "tall Poppy syndrome" of calling out braggards or overly confident people. That's why, as a nation you aren't likely to find many of us who like Trump.
Love the time our conservative prime minister ( Malcolm turnbull) did his Trump impression at the press gallery mid-winter Ball.
Im an Aussie and LOVE TRUMP!!!
@@Zed483 tell me you're a fwit without telling e you're an F- wit. Lol
I hope you are not my friend Andrew zed!
I beg to differ, I think it depends on where you are, because I know a lot of people -including myself- who like Trump over the traitor Hillary and Dementia Joe.
In 2016 I spent 5 weeks driving around the US and very quickly my wife made me stop greeting strangers with "g'day" because we were constantly being stopped by curious Americans. Always friendly, especially outside the big cities. I was mobbed by amazed Americans at a foodcourt in Syracuse. It was unreal.
😂 yeah, sayin g'day to strangers here is going to catch attention. Most probably thought you'd follow it up with "mate". Most Americans like the Australian accent, if I was in a store the Australian accent would catch my attn right away. It's far diff from the British accent, alot less thick. I don't like British accent but I'm sure a lot don't like our american accent either. It's interesting to me how other countries can tell the diff American accents. Southern American accent drives me insane. Australian though is easy to hear. If I ever go to Australia though I'd never swim in the waters. Y'all have a reputation of shark attacks there...great whites at that. 😳it looks beautiful though. Wish I could see a kangaroo hopping around.
@@bernicereinhard2296 I think we only had 12 shark attacks last year with 1 fatality. Most public beaches have no shark issues as they use repellent techniques.
Wild kangaroos are everywhere outside of the towns and cities and every wildlife park and zoo have tame ones you can play with.
I love Australian health care system. In America, I could not get health care. I love that America gets involved in world conflict and tries to keep the peace. Thanks to all the service men and women who have put their lives on the line for people not of their own.
Every American I’ve met has been a nice and a pleasure to be around.
It’s the politics and the “reality tv” culture that ruins y’all’s reputation
4:23 ...good president DT.... That was a taste of Aussie sarcasm 🤣🤣🤣
I had a great time in America. The people were lovely, and got invited to some cool parties, and everyone made me feel welcome. Would I want to live there? Probably not. Only if I had decent money coming in, and I'd always want to return to Australia I think
met quite a few, mostly military guys and never had any dramas. they were all very polite an decent people.
I have worked with a lot of Americans both oversea and here in Australia and they are warm and humble. Also have the best work ethic I've seen.
As a german i would also say that you don't really have an accent, while austrailans really often have a heavy accent that i can barely understand.
Mate im Aussie and I love most Americans.
Hahaha, love the dodgey accent attempts. Interesting video, thankyou. Im commenting a lot on your videos, because I have been sick all week and your videos are keeping me entertained and my mind off the pain. I would love to visit America. The scenery seems amazing, diverse, etc, see some cities, taste the food, and the native American Indian culture is something that fascinates me. I have an American friend from Vermont, who is a lovely gal.
I'm just throwing this in here. We went to Hawaii for a holiday. It was lovely, people were very friendly etc. One evening we went to an organised show and dinner. Our plates of salad arrived and we anticipated our steaks would soon follow, but we waited...and waited (we're quite patient) eventually we asked a waiter if our steaks were coming. He said oh we were waiting for you to finish your salad (?). So soon after our steak arrived pronto to meet our salad. So there was that. As far as your accent it sounds the same as we hear on American talk shows, I think. If we were to travel to southern US states
we might need subtitles. Take a look at some NRL (league) for e.g. The Best Tries of the 2020 NRL Season - protective gear is the essential mouthguard and sometimes a soft head guard. Enjoy your videos - cheerio
15:05 A bloke in the local mower shop put it in perspective for me. California does our whole GDP in 6 hours and that is only one of the 50 states. Australia is small but we work hard.
I think he may have been exaggerating a bit.
From what I understand, California has the 4th largest economy in the world.
The US in total, has 20x Australia's GDP but it has 13x greater population. So .. it GDP per capita, is probably around 1.3x that of Australia.
@@davidhuett3579 Mower shop yeah but we are small.
@@rowanbrecknell4021 wouldn't be if we didn't allow multinationals to ship our profits offshore before we tax them.
We have to be the dumbest people in the world. We have the best ratio of population to resource size, but we have let our pollies sell it to the lowest bidders.
Should be criminal - post China mining boom and we haven't seen a pay increase in ten years.
@@godamid4889 I am working for less now than I was working for 10 years ago. I remember when I was a child the bloke over the road was working at a local mine and he was on about $120k a year and complaining that they were sacking fulltimers and putting on contractors for $90k a year. This was in the early 80's they don't earn much more now and think it is the big bucks. Tools negotiating with tools. We have all lost sight of the bigger picture and we have leaders that sellout and move to a better country because they burnt this one.
@@rowanbrecknell4021 yeah man - they really screwed the system, record profits, low to zero tax from multinationals, nothing to see for twenty years of mining boom.
I mean, a two year old with oven mitts could have done better.
Fast food places definitely not as numerous in Australia. I promised my grandson a McDonalds ice cream one day when we were on the road. We travelled through the suburbs for 35 mins (on major roads) before we found one. I was so surprised, but admit it would be 30 years since I last visited a McDonalds. Maybe fast food is just not a thing here?
On major roads in western Sydney you can almost navigate by line of sight between McDonalds. On my way home from work driving across Western Sydney I pass no fewer than nine McDonalds, three Hungry Jacks (Burger King for non-Aussies), three Guzman Y Gomez, a Carl's Jnr, two KFC's, three Domino's and an Oporto. If you want to find something that's not fast food after a late night in the office, then the options are really limited. This isn't counting all the 7-11's at the servo's along the way. In the newer suburbs you see the same franchises rolled out suburb after suburb - you can pretty much guarantee a 7-11 servo clustered with a McDonalds and a KFC. They are usually the first businesses to open in the new neighbourhood and make it hard for local businesses to establish.
Australians don't have the same entrepreneurship sense as Americans is the reason. That's why majority of fast food chains in Australia aren't even Australian owned. It's not in the Australian spirit to be bigger and extremely successful.
@@no8604 yep, I am sure they probably drove past a number of cafes and fish and chip shops that make real hamburgers for the same price as a Macca's meal too.
There are 3 within a few minutes of my house.
I haven't been to America but I work at an Australian meat processing co-op and the "Allsorts" of meat in the burger is usually the trimmed off meat and fatty parts of a normal cut of meat sometimes containing Arterys and "Allsorts" 😂
Whenever I spoke in USA they knew I was an Aussie, they loved the way we spoke .very Friendly .
It’s refreshing and most of the time yall funny as hell😂 I had a Aussie in my 6th grade class. Even though we were kids , he still made me crack up(laugh) on multiple occasions with crazy funny jokes in class 😂😂😭
Some differences I’ve noticed since being an Aussie living in the US for the last 12 months: Food here has more sugar and salt. General things like a A4 paper and A3 paper doesn’t exist in the US. You can’t buy anything to do with a A4 or A3 paper, no laminators or printers or anything, whereas that is a very standard concept everywhere else in the world. Lamb is difficult to find outside of Costco, you can’t buy mint sauce to go with it. As an Australian we love our lamb and a roast lamb with mint sauce and gravy on a Sunday is a staple. Australian sausages do not exist here. So what we would expect as a staple run to Bunning‘s on a Sunday we can’t get here. The sausage sizzle doesn’t exist in America or at least not where I have lived and travel to. You can’t buy sausages like you can in Australia. The sausages that they have here are not the same thing and although you can get some good brands most are extremely high in salt and fat and really rich tasting. You can’t get a good chicken parmigiana anywhere in America. They serve parmigiana with spaghetti. To get a comparison, check out the menu for the Beach house in Australia to see what a parmy should look like. Paper products in general are very expensive in the US. If you check out Woolworths in Australia for pricing and compare that to Walmart and then do the conversion, you’ll see that toilet paper is way more expensive here. Plus it’s very difficult to get three ply toilet paper outside of Australia. But even things like children’s school notebooks are way cheaper in Australia than they are in America. Coffee is a really big thing. It’s very difficult to find quality coffee in America. I import mine from Australia. Moccona coffee for the win. Although I also get Zarraffa’s coffee beans sent over. You can’t get quality cream from Walmart or giant. Cream here has had preservatives and sugars added. The sizing is different too. It’s just different. We have better cream in Australia with a higher fat content which is a stiffer cream without the sugar. Some great things are right handed turns. In most places in the US you can do a right hand turn without worrying about the traffic light. Most of Australia, except for the northern territory, has a rule that you just stop at a red light regardless if you’re turning left or right. Also the giveaway rules are different in Australia you must give away to you’re right it doesn’t matter who went to the intersection first you cannot proceed through an intersection until it is clear. In Virginia it’s first come first served. On cars here, the blinker is red, it flashes red on most cars. I don’t know if that’s a newer thing because I have seen some model cars that have the orange light for the indicator. But most are red here. Not that anyone seems to use them. In Australia the indicator is orange. I love the roads in America. They are wider and there’s a lot more one direction highways, which should lead to less accidents and better flowing traffic, I’m sure. Fuel is cheaper in the US than Australia.
Turning through a red light seems like a silly idea to me. To be consistent, a red light should always mean stop. Australia has the green arrows for turning. Way more sensible.
Everywhere I drive in NSW and the ACT has "Left turn any time with care" signs at the lights. Makes sense in Canberra but not in Sydney!
Their US legal is essentially the same as A4 - a bit longer I think.
@@godamid4889 Same as foolscap, maybe? That would be the nearest to A4 in the old imperial measures, and what was used in Britain before A4 etc sizes came in.
@@papercup2517 us legal is about the same as foolscap, I think - like millimetres close. Back in the day of typewriters and handwriting I remember foolscap coming in two sizes, though - one a couple of centimetres shorter - because my foolscap school notes books were different lengths.
I would imagine we used the same as the Brits, because of our government correspondence.
Not a Trump fan at all 🤮 I have a cousin living in America, in general we like Americans. The amount of people owning guns is frightening, so many dying needlessly 😢
Agree
Wouldn’t say we like Americans they are alright
🤮🤮🤮 Love the spew emoji in relation to Trump 😂😂😂💖💖💖🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Yes, unfortunately they tend to want to resolve their arguments with one another by means of a gun.
@@paulsz6194 or somehow turns into politics
Your accent is spot on mate. You’ve got a very subtle little thing in there that sounds cool.
Love America and her people ❤
Burger's from the local fish and chip / takeaway shop's are 250% better than Macca's, with the exception of Victoria, there standard burger is (a bun, a bit of lettuce, meat patty & your choice of sauce)
Every other state that I have eaten a burger, NSW. (New South Wales) QLD (Queensland) & WA (Western Australia)
A standard burger is "a bun, shredded lettuce, tomato, beat root, beef pattie, fried onion & your choice of tomato sauce bbq sauce or chilly sauce.. In Victoria that's a burger with the lot.
In NSW a burger with the lot is all that plus cheese, a bacon rasher & a fried pineapple ring & an egg,..
we saw a show with an American with a knife for a gearstick, and nearly died of shock, we can customise cars, but you have to put them 'through the coppers' who will tell you gently , no, no sir, you cannot have a knife for gearknob.
Yeah, I’m feeling the love in all these response’s!
Sheet I have to pipe up here! This was filmed at Glenelg Beach in my home town. Just like to say that some were not original Aussies, the first lady had an English accent, and the lady sitting in the fence was from New Zealand. Next the guy with the strange eyes was probably blind.
I need to say that I do love Americans, and like it or not we are somewhat related, Without giving much away me and John Wayne have something in common. Good and bad in all people, but in general Many Americans are fun loving and accommodating and will give you the shirt off their back.
Many young would not think of during the ww2 it was Americans that came to our aid, and I always think of the US Marines that came here to fight in the Pacific and lost their lives. My Father used to carry their M1 Garand rifles on route marches through the town for 1 Penny.
My Aunty had a romance with a US airman and was going to marry - sadly - He never returned from battle. I have also stood in the place that General MacArthur said "I shall return"
Those that this day would spill blood with me shall be my Brother, and boy we have spilled blood together before many times. I might not agree with your administration at times, but don't say bad things about the American people to me !
3:42 I asked my Father when I was a child after seeing a beach video about Hawaii. How do you stay with your wife when you see this? My Father said that if you don't stay with her she is not the one for you. Thanks Dad.
I have some amazing friends from the USA and the natural landscape is beautiful but it amazes me how insular so many of the people are and how much other people force their beliefs onto others
Here your beliefs are personal but I was put off by the many times I had complete strangers shoving their beliefs down my throat
Especially those Southern Baptists, they can be pretty extreme like those Kill Joy Puritans. As well as those Pro-lifers trying to force everyone to do what they want. Bad things happen to Women when people like that get their way. All sorts of Dangerous Quacks start doing terrible things to Women, do they seriously what that to happen again.
Agreed.
Especially religion, veganism or guns....
The cream apartment block in the background, I recently had to build a wall and gates to stop people loitering in the residents car park., Exactly where they where standing.😂😂😂
Wagu in japan comes from Australian exports FYI
I think they interviewed the one Aussie trump fan 😂 this was overall not an accurate representation of us Aussie’s!
Arvo means afternoon
He knows this
They needed to interview more aussies for a wider perspective and that lady with the english accent was so sweet, we are a multi-cultural country. Love that Americans know how make any milestones/celebration extra special, the movies and music, and the accent of course both but southern 👍. We export meat so good industry but we also have kangaroo, crocodile meat etc.
I visited California a few of years after the movie Crocodile Dundee came out, and I was treated very well. I was taken home and made feel part of the family. I spent 4 weeks with them and they took me to many areas outside the tourist sites. I would like you to have similar gun deaths as Australia’s. We have less than 100 while the US has about 30,000 a year. I’d like you to have and feel safer
I think one of the biggest things Aussies think about the states is there is so many guns and shootings in the country and with over 35,000 murders just from guns each year it's frightening for us because if we have one shooting in a week here we think it's a huge deal just as an example if we have 2 or 3 shootings in a month (And that's in the whole country) we think that's way to many because we have sensible gun laws in this country and we think there are better ways to defend yourself without having to shoot someone just because you have a gun people here just think it's a terrible waste of lives just because you have the rights to bear arms then it makes it so easy to kill someone without thinking about it or thinking it through just pull a trigger, bang and your problem solved (NOT) so that is one of the things we worry about over there.
Australians view Americans as Cousins.
We have an enduring affiliation.
We have so many similarities as you and yet we are appalled by recent political actions.
We feel for you!
We hope you will have the sense to recognise the danger confronting you and get onto your feet and vote.
This is NO time for appathy!
The future of YOUR Democracy (and ours) is at stake!
We spent a month in America travelling from LA to Niagra falls and back again we visited 24 states in 31 days and met tons of Americans all of whom were friendly, however Americans over here tend to be loud.
"what I've seen of it"!! That dudes a legend. Often in Rundle mall.
Everyone in the entire world has an accent!
The World would be a very boring place if everyone was the same. Variety is definitely The Spice Of Life.
Japan gets most of their wagyu beef from Australia 🇦🇺
American foods are so sweet.
Even bread is much sweeter than in Oz
ive never been to nthe USA but one thing i promise its on my list love America
I have been 6 times. Some of the people I love the most live in America. We have snow and no, we did not like Trump. 👀
You do know they are getting opinions in Adelaide, right? Mostly from young idiots. We have to have the best beef. Some of your food is banned here. Obviously that person only eats at Macca’s.
You don’t have a strong accent. I have always loved a Boston accent.
Yes we do love Trump lol
@@aussiebornandbred speak for yourself.
I'm fine with Americans as long as they're not the extreme stereotype of "ignorant, loud & arrogant".
_America_ as a country/society however, can burn to the ground. The whole ultra-capitalist, "my freedom is more important than being considerate" is just gross to me.
Your popular table analogy is 100% spot on.
23:35 Connecting. I don't get to see Americans that much now.. Good to see you.
I have honestly watched so many of your videos I don’t notice your accent anymore
If your up for reacting to an emotional 😭 video. Check out Took The Children Away by Archie Roach. It’s a song that talks about Australia’s dark history and the Stolen Generation.
Note: As mush as Australia is a great place, it still has a dark history and If your interested in learning about Australia you should also know the history as well.
Yes the highly exaggerated stolen generation ! I had the privilege of getting to know about 40 odd Aboriginal lady's a few years back and they were appalled by the hand picked people that were interviewed about how terrible it was to have been taken from there family's they told me most were take from alcohol induced violent homes and were lucky they were taken and ended up in loving family's ! PS most hated there male counterparts and wanted nothing to do with them ! But had no problem with white guys ! 😀
Happy Arvo Ryan..!!!
I have heaps of Americans friends going back 20 years and got to meet most of them when I visited in 2013.....
That kid who likes Trump is NOT indicative of most Aussies..... UGH
I knew there would be blatant racism there but I was shocked at how unaware some people were with their comments and attitude to "black fellas" as we call them in Aussie
We don’t think your the kids at the popular table. We think that YOU think your the kids at the popular table. Love ❤your show. Would love to give you Aussie lesson mate.
I love the American people, i found them so friendly & polite. Ive been to huge gaming conventions in LA; the young people are all so respectful & I really appreciated that! The infrastucture i found very poor though, the trains in NY a disgrace, the roads are sub standard, people drive so badly in LA; the gun situation is scary; health care is ridiculous; price of medicines outrageous. My daughter lives in California so have made many visits & would love to see more of your beautiful country. I was shocked on my 1st visit to see so many white people obviously homeless & destitute. I've travelled around Asia a lot & expect to see it in a poor country, but not in the place where people actually believe it os the best country in the world. Travel people; it's a real education.
i'm an aussie who hates the trumpster
You're no orphan. There's millions of us who agree with you.
I don't mind him. Trump haters over hype his faults but everyone has faults. They cherry pick. Human nature I guess.

it's expensive because of our dollar 1 Australian Dollar equals 0.69 United States Dollar .. and also Adelaide 5th Australia's largest cities and this place in not actually in Adelaide it's one of the beach suburbs .. but generally most Australian like Americans
Its the mcconaughey accent that we love the most. Cowboys and Indians and old western movies have always been popular in Australia. Howdy Neighbour!
