Here we go. 3 00:00:07,910 --> 00:00:08,700 Okay, great. 4 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:10,400 All right. Um, . 5 00:00:11,350 --> 00:00:12,850 So, well, I'm grabbing my beer. 6 00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:14,930 Oh, okay. I'm. 7 00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:17,090 Realizing it's gonna be hard to keep my mouth near the microphone and grab it, 8 00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:19,130 but here we, oh, you're handy. Oh, thank you. 9 00:00:20,050 --> 00:00:20,390 Absolutely. 10 00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:21,570 He handed it to me. How. 11 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:23,730 Gly Absolutely. Are you with us, Dean? 12 00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:25,890 I'm here. I'm here, man. I'm. 13 00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:28,850 Here. Do you, uh, do you have a glass of wine with you today? I. 14 00:00:28,850 --> 00:00:30,770 Do. I have a little, uh, chii. 15 00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:32,930 A chiante. Ooh, my goodness. 16 00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:36,130 You have some fava beans with that also for those movie buffs. Oh, no. 17 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,450 Nice . I'm. 18 00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:43,330 A little, I'm a little scared. I'm very scared. Oh, okay. . Um, . 19 00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:45,530 Do, do you have a, a alcoholic beverage with you? 20 00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:48,250 I, I do. I have, I also have a beer. Yes, I do. Now. 21 00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:51,610 Are we doing this? Because in the last podcast we talked about the fact that we, 22 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,090 that I had said, when we sit down, we're gonna have some sangria. 23 00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:58,130 And then I didn't actually prepare. 24 00:00:58,130 --> 00:00:58,590 There was no. 25 00:00:58,590 --> 00:00:59,010 Any. 26 00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:00,530 Sangria. There was no freaking sangria. I. 27 00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:01,450 Think it drove us to do this. 28 00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:06,050 It, yeah. We brought our own. Because you clearly are not providing anything. 29 00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:06,470 So. 30 00:01:06,470 --> 00:01:10,850 And I was concerned at the time that providing alcoholic sustenance might not be 31 00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:14,330 a good thing for the podcast, so. Right, right. I didn't want, I, 32 00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:17,850 I said I would have sangria, but of course I really wasn't gonna do it. Mm-hmm. 33 00:01:17,890 --> 00:01:20,050 . And then everybody said, no, no, no. 34 00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:21,290 Do it. Yeah. We rebelled. 35 00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:21,560 Well, 36 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,250 what that leads the listener to understand is don't trust anything Dean tells 37 00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:29,410 you. is basically it every defined. 38 00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:29,850 We've. 39 00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:33,210 Done for the last five years. That's right. In terms of, that's correct. 40 00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:35,530 In terms of cultural do's and don'ts. Right. 41 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,930 4,000, your podcast. That's right. 42 00:01:37,930 --> 00:01:39,250 Ignore, forget Defy. 43 00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:40,890 That's right. Completely ignore him. 44 00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:42,130 That's the takeaway. That's. 45 00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:43,370 It. Well, actually, you know, if, 46 00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:47,370 if there is a listener who has heard something that is not correct, 47 00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:50,050 I would always hope that they would let us know. 48 00:01:50,350 --> 00:01:53,410 And make, make sure you address all of those to Dean Foster. 49 00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:57,450 Or care of it's culture show@gmail.com. There. 50 00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:57,990 You go. 51 00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:59,970 And I've never heard anybody say. 52 00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:01,450 That. No, no, no. 53 00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:02,190 So that means. 54 00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:02,570 But hold. 55 00:02:02,570 --> 00:02:03,890 On. Perfection thus far. 56 00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:06,050 Perfection. It gotta be perfection. 'cause without, 57 00:02:06,150 --> 00:02:09,050 unless someone actually says that he's wrong, Uhhuh , 58 00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:10,410 he's always wrong. He's. 59 00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:10,890 Always right. 60 00:02:10,890 --> 00:02:13,690 Exactly. That makes perfect sense to me. Always. Right? That's right. 61 00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:14,730 Perfect sense. And. 62 00:02:14,730 --> 00:02:18,170 From this point on, now that we do have, um, you have a a, 63 00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:19,330 what are you drinking? A little beer. 64 00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:20,120 A little beer. 65 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,890 It's a nice craft beer from the state of Maine in the United States. It's. 66 00:02:23,890 --> 00:02:27,010 Uh, we, we both have actually an ash white, we're not being sponsored by Ash. 67 00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:28,210 No, you're not. But I'll name it. 68 00:02:28,510 --> 00:02:31,650 We could be. We could be. If you wanna sponsor a sash, please feel free. 69 00:02:31,690 --> 00:02:33,130 I live in Portland, Maine. So let, let's. 70 00:02:33,130 --> 00:02:34,890 Do it right. He's right there. He is a local. Yeah. 71 00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:36,410 I've been to the brewery many times. Fucking. 72 00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:39,370 And as have I. Yeah. And it's a, it's a, a lovely place. 73 00:02:39,510 --> 00:02:41,010 Go visit it when you get a. 74 00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:41,330 Chance. We. 75 00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:44,090 Get on board. Absolutely. We're plugging 'em. And it makes a wide, 76 00:02:44,090 --> 00:02:47,770 they make a wide range of beers that are, are, I swear they're not. 77 00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:48,450 Sponsored. We're. 78 00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:51,130 Sponsoring. We're not sponsored at all. We could be at all. 79 00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:53,730 We could be Allagash . 80 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:56,290 So from this point forward, however, 81 00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:01,280 if I do get comments that the things that we've said is not correct, yes. 82 00:03:01,410 --> 00:03:03,360 We'll attribute it to the alcohol. Right, right. 83 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Okay. Well, and I should name that We're planning to do three epi. 84 00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:08,840 We're going to record, what are we doing? Three episodes? I don't dunno. 85 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,720 We're gonna record three episodes back to back. That's the plan. 86 00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:12,960 Uhhuh . So, you know, 87 00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:17,680 we'll see how things go over the course of time as we consume alcohol. 88 00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:18,840 There you go. You know. 89 00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:19,600 There you go. 90 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,040 It might get, it might get a little, little interesting. 91 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,680 You'll hear these over the next several months. You know. 92 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,920 If I were a listener listening to this, I would say like, 93 00:03:25,780 --> 00:03:27,560 why are you giving me this warning , I, 94 00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:30,640 I'm getting less and less and less and less encouraged. We'll see. 95 00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:31,613 Oh, what happens? 96 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,760 I would say this could be more and more entertaining as it goes along. 97 00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:36,880 Uhhuh . Yeah. Uh, very possibly. That's right. 98 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,840 Especially from Dean's.

Different protocols around drinking. So, uh, 110 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,400 here's to a successful podcast. Cheers. Here on Cheers. 111 00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:07,480 Cheers.

That's. 146 00:05:23,910 --> 00:05:24,290 Right. 147 00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:25,390 That's, I think there. 148 00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:28,830 Are a lot of other things that make them great, but, oh, this one of them.

Maybe I'll, I'll just keep drinking. 155 00:05:43,750 --> 00:05:47,830 Understand more. See, normally when I come to these sessions, I'm already drunk, 156 00:05:48,090 --> 00:05:49,630 so There you go. It's like. 157 00:05:49,630 --> 00:05:51,350 That explains. So it really. 158 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:53,230 Does. It really does. Yeah. 159 00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:55,990 Well, that's kind of fun. We just had a little game show right there. 160 00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:56,823 It felt like. 161 00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:58,520 We did bit and I heard Ding Bell. 162 00:05:58,620 --> 00:06:00,440 And, and I got points, I believe, didn't I? 163 00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:03,280 Uh, now what? Let's do a game show today. Oh. 164 00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:04,640 Oh, alright. 165 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,473 Okay. You, what do you think? 166 00:06:05,630 --> 00:06:08,800 Sure, sure. You, you got one in mind. You got some questions for us? Well. 167 00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:12,120 You know, I think, uh, in one of the previous podcasts we were talking about, 168 00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:14,520 we briefly touched on this, 169 00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:18,760 and then we've moved on to other rabbit holes that we went down. Oh, us? No. 170 00:06:18,930 --> 00:06:19,763 Never. 171 00:06:20,030 --> 00:06:23,680 When has that happened? We, we briefly touched on a phenomenon of, um, 172 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,280 cultures of similarity. Mm. Right? And, 173 00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:31,440 and the challenge that that presents because just when you encounter a culture 174 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,280 that you think is similar to yours, 175 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:37,440 most people's knee-jerk reaction is to then say, well, um, 176 00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:39,120 there's really no cultural differences. 177 00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:43,400 I'm looking at more similarities and differences. Therefore, I don't, 178 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,960 therefore I don't have to understand this culture to the same degree that I have 179 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,560 to understand a culture that is obviously so different from mine. Right. Right. 180 00:06:51,220 --> 00:06:52,200 So let's. 181 00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:54,520 So like, if they share a common language mm-hmm. 182 00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:57,840 If you share a common language mm-hmm. If you share a common history, Uhhuh, 183 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,760 , if you share a, any common, uh, maybe cultural similarities, 184 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,120 like, oh, US and Canada. Mm. Yeah. Us and uk. Yeah. Uh, 185 00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:10,040 UK and Canada. Mm-hmm. Right. Or it doesn't have to be anglophones. 186 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,640 They're sharing similar languages, similar histories. Oh. 187 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Portugal and Brazil. Thank. 188 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,993 You. Right. 189 00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:17,360 Spain and Mexico. Right. And so on. 190 00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:22,120 China and Hong Kong. Mm. Uh, China and Singapore. Mm-hmm. . 191 00:07:22,250 --> 00:07:26,440 Right. Um, Belgium and France, 192 00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:27,880 same language. 193 00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:29,043 Along the same line. 194 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,800 Although the not all won't they like beat you up if you say that to either. 195 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560 One. Precise precisely to my, to my point here. Right. 196 00:07:35,780 --> 00:07:39,720 We get blinded by the similarities. We think there are no real differences. 197 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640 I remember that song, blinded by the similarities. Was. 198 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,000 That America, did they do. 199 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,360 That? No, that was definitely not America. But Nice. 200 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,680 I like the tie in on culture there. By, by picking America . Very nice. 201 00:07:52,310 --> 00:07:55,320 Well, it, it's the culture in the room right here. 202 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,753 I see. 203 00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:57,760 One of them Anyway. 204 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Alright. So anyway, we're, so what is that leading us to? So. 205 00:08:00,820 --> 00:08:04,120 If 80, well, he, I'm thinking 80% similar, 206 00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:07,360 20% different. Hmm. Okay. 207 00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:11,200 I'm gonna assume that the differences really don't matter very much when I deal 208 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,560 with the culture and I'm gonna focus on incorrectly. Hmm. 209 00:08:15,630 --> 00:08:17,040 This is most people's knee jerk. 210 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Reaction. Right. 211 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,120 You're saying 80% to 20% based is a person thinking they know what's going on 212 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,600 between, um, the United States and Canada, for instance. 213 00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:28,200 Exactly. Okay. Uh, but the truth is though, 214 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,040 that that 20% difference that we're ignoring Yeah. Because it's, 215 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,320 the difference is precisely what's gonna make the problems. Yeah. 216 00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:37,840 'Cause there are differences. Yeah, of. 217 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760 Course there are. Right? Yeah. And the the quickest way to say, say, ask, 218 00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:45,200 ask Canadian if there are any differences between Canadians and us Americans. 219 00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:45,560 Yeah. 220 00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,440 The Canadians see those a little more than we see the other. 221 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,880 'cause we sort of think it's the 51st state. Right. 222 00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:55,640 We just sort of think what us Americans. Yeah. Right. I know, I know. 223 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,320 That's a annoying and, and aggravating to Canadians that I've spoken with. 224 00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:01,220 Right. 225 00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:05,200 So here's the thing. I wrote about this in my sub. You did in my, 226 00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:09,920 in my ck um, right page. Okay. And, um, I, 227 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,000 I saw that actually, but I did it in the form of, of a quiz. Ah, 228 00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:15,560 so it was kind of like a culture. 229 00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:18,480 Quiz. Well, I did not, I did see you put a quiz in, but I'm, 230 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:21,120 I have to admit I did not take it. 231 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:24,720 Same. I, I, I read a little bit about it, but I didn't take the actual quiz. 232 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,320 Yeah. Uhhuh it looked interesting. Okay. 233 00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:30,360 So if you haven't taken the quiz even better, because first of all, 234 00:09:30,380 --> 00:09:34,160 the reason the three of us are here, the reason I'm here with the two of you, 235 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:34,560 I tell is. 236 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,040 This is is this an existential statement? Yeah. Why or what? Why are we, 237 00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,040 why are we, why are we here, man? And. 238 00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:41,240 As opposed to other people. 239 00:09:41,780 --> 00:09:43,680 He hasn't even really started drinking yet. . 240 00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:44,440 Not. 241 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,160 Yet. One of the reasons is because you're, you're brilliant. Ah, 242 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:50,160 not that, not. 243 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,040 Only that. Well, we can accept that stars just move on. 244 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,400 I think the stars not think only. 245 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,360 That. Not only that. I love you both dearly as friends. Oh, thank you. And. 246 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,760 Colleagues. You as well. It's very nice. We say the same back to you. 247 00:09:58,940 --> 00:10:00,120 All right. Enough of this. But. 248 00:10:00,260 --> 00:10:02,640 But it's a mutual admiration society here. 249 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,720 . Now you guys, it's a little na guys know this stuff. You're, 250 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,160 you're into it, I believe. Let's see. You know, 251 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280 we've been talking and examining these issues of culture. 252 00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:13,920 I'm gonna give you my quiz. You haven't seen it, right? Oh. 253 00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:15,640 Shoot. No, no. I have not seen it. No. 254 00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:19,280 I'm gonna give you my quiz. Five questions. In most quizzes, 255 00:10:19,390 --> 00:10:22,760 most of the quizzes gotta do are five questions, real quick, real easy, promise. 256 00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:26,560 Real easy. He's setting us up. Don't look like total jerk. We're big trouble. 257 00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:27,533 Oh, yeah. 258 00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:28,540 And. 259 00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:29,440 And make, get one total. 260 00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:33,600 And . And you get the, and the answers by the way, 261 00:10:33,660 --> 00:10:36,640 to the five questions about any particular culture Yes. 262 00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:40,000 Are in multiple choice forms. Even if you don't know the answer, 263 00:10:40,350 --> 00:10:42,040 just do what you did on the s sat t. 264 00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:46,480 Uh, I'm, can I, can I, can I ratchet? Can I ratchet this up a little bit? 265 00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,480 Can I, I, can I ratchet up the. 266 00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,520 You're ratcheting up the stakes. 267 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160 I am ratcheting up the stakes and, and the difficulty. 268 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,993 Oh, I'm, I'm a little scared. 269 00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:57,520 Well, the, my, I wanna say before you get to the multiple choice mm-hmm. 270 00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:57,840 , 271 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,160 I would like to give us a chance to answer it without multiple choice. 272 00:11:02,260 --> 00:11:05,040 And then if we can't get it, you can give us the multiple choice. 273 00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:09,000 Okay. Fine. We'll do that on the first one. Okay. Yeah, that's good. All right. 274 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:09,360 I like. 275 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,520 That. And then after we look incredibly stupid, 276 00:11:11,690 --> 00:11:13,320 we'll just go to the multiple choice. Yeah. Uhhuh. 277 00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:14,880 Very quickly go to that . 278 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:15,880 Yeah. And I, I'm guessing. 279 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Because I'm an idiot. 280 00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:21,120 That's, I'm, we're gonna be able to maybe do two of them per, per episode. Okay. 281 00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:21,910 Per. 282 00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:22,840 Twos. Yeah. 283 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:23,730 S. 284 00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:24,640 About different cultures. 285 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,720 Yeah, I think, yeah. I, 286 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,440 I saw recently you had done quizzes on sort of different continents, right? 287 00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:33,520 Not exclusively, because I saw Middle East, which is not a. 288 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,440 Continent. I do quizzes on continents, cities, countries. Okay. 289 00:11:37,550 --> 00:11:39,440 Your neighborhood, whatever you want. Wow. 290 00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:40,440 What. 291 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,520 Right? Antarctica. 292 00:11:42,270 --> 00:11:44,000 Yeah. I, I would like to see that one. 293 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,920 I haven't done it yet, but I will. Okay. Okay. 294 00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:46,893 All. 295 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,600 I may spontaneously do it here right now. 296 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,440 Excellent. How about the core of the arts? My, my answer is penguins . 297 00:11:52,580 --> 00:11:53,720 That's my answer. So. 298 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,160 You're gonna, you're gonna be answer, you're gonna be. 299 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,280 Correct. That's my answer to everything Penguin. Most of them. 300 00:11:57,460 --> 00:12:00,080 Yes. But, okay. So we do a couple over three episodes. Yeah. 301 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:02,280 So we'll get kind of like a continental runthrough. 302 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,760 Well, let's see. Let's get started. Right? All right. 303 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,080 We'll see. We'll see what happens. Alright. Yeah. 304 00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:07,600 Well, we'll start one. The, this is gonna be my, 305 00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:10,440 my culture quiz now on Australia. Okay. 306 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:11,560 The. 307 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,480 Aussies in the, uh, and. 308 00:12:13,780 --> 00:12:14,920 Is that supposed to be an Australian. 309 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,920 Accent? I what? Because that it was kind of British. Wasn't. 310 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,640 That really wasn't. 311 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,440 A, Aussies were very sorry. It really wasn't. No, I'm sorry. I truly, truly am. 312 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Sorry. You know, as soon as we say I never do. 313 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,873 That had about. 314 00:12:23,980 --> 00:12:26,640 God, I mean, these stereotypes that pop up in people's minds, these. 315 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:31,000 Why was that a stereotype? It was just a lousy accent. . It's just, 316 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,880 I I'm thinking you could your dragon beam be behind the, the bus here already? 317 00:12:35,230 --> 00:12:37,520 What are the pictures that people are seeing in their heads now? 318 00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:40,280 You have kangaroos and wallabies and, well, it's. 319 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,600 Australia. They have kangaroos and wallabies. 320 00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:45,080 So I hear I've never been, I'd love. 321 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,160 To go. I've never been either. Yeah. I'd love to go. However, 322 00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:52,040 I'd believe the man with the, uh, the, the questions here has in fact been, Ooh, 323 00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:53,780 yes. 324 00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:56,920 Oh, yes. In fact, the very first cultural, 325 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,520 cultural training that me and my company had ever done mm-hmm. , 326 00:13:01,540 --> 00:13:03,720 the very first one that got us out of the box mm-hmm. , 327 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,200 and we're going back a hundred years now. Right. Was a, 328 00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:11,040 was a culture training on Australian culture, huh. 329 00:13:11,420 --> 00:13:16,300 For another culture of similarity. Okay. For Americans and Britains. 330 00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:18,140 Nice. Okay. Alright. 331 00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:22,420 Which was a real challenge for us to put this information together 332 00:13:23,370 --> 00:13:27,220 because it's so much easier to put information together about cultures that are 333 00:13:27,310 --> 00:13:29,140 ostensibly and obviously different. 334 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,340 Oh, sure. I can understand that. But. 335 00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:33,740 Again, to highlight the, the, the fewer, 336 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,740 but therefore more important differences between Australia and the 337 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,300 US and the UK was a far greater challenge. Yeah. 338 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,740 And I think that's what everybody has to go through when they deal with culture. 339 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,020 Are we, are we going to, at this point, attempt to do two of these? 340 00:13:49,460 --> 00:13:50,860 I think that's what you said. Correct. So. 341 00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:51,980 Should we jump in? Is that what you're getting. 342 00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:55,220 To? I'm saying let's do it. All right. Let's do it. Let's kick it off. . 343 00:13:55,220 --> 00:13:55,480 Alright. 344 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,420 So Australia's first. 345 00:13:56,950 --> 00:13:59,100 We're doing a Australians first. Excellent. Okay. And I'm gonna, 346 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,780 I'm gonna give you guys the scenarios. I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna. 347 00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:04,540 When you're in Australia, does it feel like you're standing upside down? 348 00:14:05,290 --> 00:14:06,460 Depends on where you come from. 349 00:14:06,740 --> 00:14:07,573 I see. Okay. 350 00:14:08,060 --> 00:14:09,550 Dean, is this one multiple choice? 351 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,460 Um, sorta of, kind of. 352 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,620 Oh, okay. Oh, okay. All right. Alright. Well, in, we'll see. Initially it's not, 353 00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:18,300 initially you're just giving us a question. I'm. 354 00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:22,140 Gonna give you a one question and you guys have to come up with, 355 00:14:22,490 --> 00:14:26,300 with five different answers. Okay. That have to be correct. 356 00:14:26,690 --> 00:14:29,060 Okay.

Okay. 536 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,900 I'm thinking the points on this one. Don't go . All. 537 00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,540 Right. Okay. So, or ever. So. 538 00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:31,900 The taxi, so in, in us, in US America, you know, 539 00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:34,020 it's more standard to sit in the back seat of the taxi, 540 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,780 but I'm guessing in Australia it's more standard to sit in the front seat. 541 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,860 So there was some offense taken from the taxi driver when you sit in the back 542 00:21:41,860 --> 00:21:43,860 seat, when you, they expect you to sit in the front seat. 543 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,140 Oh boy. You know, one of the things. 544 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,260 Can I, can I buzz in and add to that? Yeah. Because not only did you do that, 545 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,660 but you then, when he said, are you too good to sit in the front seat? 546 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,420 You didn't move into the front seat. Right? Right. 547 00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,780 You stayed where you were. Right. 548 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,220 And he was giving you the information really, 549 00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:05,420 that you should have known about the cultural difference. Yeah. 550 00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:09,100 Because he wanted you to come up to the front seat and act like a mate. He. 551 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,260 He, exactly. Yeah. 552 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,100 So your use of the word mate is an example of what's going on here. 553 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,820 And he said, what's the matter too good to sit up front with me mate? Mm-hmm. 554 00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:22,180 . Yeah. And this actually happened to me. Uhhuh, , 555 00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:22,820 Uhhuh , Uhhuh , 556 00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:26,740 which is where I drew this drew of the scenario. Okay. All right. 557 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:29,220 And what is he telling me? You know, 558 00:22:29,290 --> 00:22:33,460 he's saying that nobody is better than anybody else in Australia. 559 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,620 I'm not your chauffeur, I'm just a taxi driver. I'm doing this for, 560 00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:41,660 for the money. Hmm. You're paying me. We are equals here. Hmm hmm. 561 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,420 And sitting in the back, Uhuh just sit up front with me. Right. 562 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:46,950 Huh? 563 00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:48,740 Right, right. Yeah. Now this is a very, 564 00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:51,380 very critical issue in Australian culture. Um, 565 00:22:51,380 --> 00:22:53,540 they even have a term for it in Australia. They, 566 00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:57,380 they call it the tall poppy syndrome. So, ah, poppy. 567 00:22:57,740 --> 00:22:58,530 I think you've mentioned that. Yeah. 568 00:22:58,530 --> 00:23:02,020 Poppies grow to different heights. Yeah. Right. Some are tall, some are short. 569 00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:03,780 Right. Yeah. If you're a tall poppy, 570 00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:06,300 you're gonna get your head cut off in Australia, right. Slice. Yep. Mm-hmm. 571 00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:08,940 get, you get leveled. Right. It's a leveling culture. 572 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,300 So grow around the same height as the other poppies. Gotcha. Okay. 573 00:23:11,420 --> 00:23:13,060 I think we've talked about it lot that also in, 574 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,820 in connection with some of the Asian countries, other, other Asian countries in, 575 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,420 in that part of the world. Correct. Uh. 576 00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,220 I, you know, you'll see versions of this Yeah. 577 00:23:21,220 --> 00:23:23,220 But for different reasons in different cultures. Okay. 578 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,860 But in Australia it's very powerful and I think Okay. 579 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,500 It really stands out for us Americans. Okay. Right. 580 00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:31,580 'cause in the US the. 581 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,580 The tall hoppy gets the attention. You get. 582 00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:37,060 The attention, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Yeah. Yeah. You know, if you, 583 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,500 if you've got the expertise and you bring it to Australia, 584 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,440 you expect people to just welcome you with open arms. Yeah. And no, 585 00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:48,800 you gotta be on equal terms with them. Right. 586 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:52,000 Sure. That's interesting. 'cause for me in the U s A, I don't, 587 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,880 I don't think of that in the taxi when I'm sitting in the backseat. Right. 588 00:23:54,940 --> 00:23:55,880 I'm not thinking of it as like, 589 00:23:55,940 --> 00:23:59,400 I'm not being very egalitarian right now . Um, but obviously that's, 590 00:23:59,780 --> 00:24:00,040 you know. 591 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,280 Hopeful. That's in fact, in fact in the U s A, I remember when we were in, uh, 592 00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:07,040 new Orleans mm-hmm. and, and an Uber came. Yeah. 593 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,560 We were using an Uber. Yep. And there were several of us. 594 00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:14,040 And I went around to the front side and I opened the door and I said to the Uber 595 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,360 driver, um, is it okay if I sit in the frontier with you? Right. You could sit. 596 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,640 A little, it's di that's different. You're. 597 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,920 Kind of jumping into their space. Right. Exactly. Right. And they were, 598 00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:25,600 you know, said, sure. And I, I climbed in. Right. And. 599 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,360 It's a perfect example right there. Yeah. In, in that small little experience. 600 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:30,720 Mm-hmm. 601 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,560 of a taxi of a very deep and rich and major cultural distinction. 602 00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:36,040 Yeah. 603 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,720 'cause my first option was for me to feel comfortable would be to sit in the 604 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:40,840 backseat. Yeah. 605 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,673 Right. 606 00:24:47,270 --> 00:24:48,520 Okay. So we need to come up with three. 607 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,120 More . Uh, I can, because those, I think I can, those the two I, I had, 608 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,080 I got, I think I've got more here. Hang on. I had him, uh, 609 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,240 I gotta go back through the scenario in my head. Oh, I know. Um, okay. 610 00:24:58,380 --> 00:25:03,080 So then he gets on his phone and ignores the driver and is texting, 611 00:25:03,820 --> 00:25:07,320 uh, about the, 'cause he's going over notes from the meeting in, uh, well, 612 00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:10,200 I think you're filling in blanks, Sydney. He said that, but Okay. No, 613 00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:14,520 I'm thi well, I'm going there and then, and, and from the meeting in Sydney, 614 00:25:14,660 --> 00:25:18,880 and then he, um, and, and he goes, then he goes to, 615 00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:22,120 he realizes he probably is gonna be late for the media in Melbourne. 616 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:26,200 So he sends a text to them and in, 617 00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:30,480 and he's texting them. And, and I, that may be something that bothers him, 618 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,880 but I'm not even going there. I'm going, 619 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,360 then he wants to delay things and as a result, 620 00:25:35,670 --> 00:25:39,240 instead of getting a Let's put you back a couple of hours, 621 00:25:39,710 --> 00:25:42,640 he's getting a couple of days. Yeah. That was the only time. 622 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,000 'cause the view of time is gonna be quite different between the US 623 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,320 American and the Aussie. 624 00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:54,120 Well, I think the view of time is in the big picture rather similar. 625 00:25:54,350 --> 00:25:58,120 Okay. Around the world, you know, compared to lots of other cultures. Mm-hmm. 626 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,480 , 627 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,680 I think the difference is coming up actually between Sydney and Melbourne. 628 00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:03,830 Really? 629 00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:04,663 Yeah. Huh. 630 00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:09,440 These two cities are in like many places around the world, you know, 631 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,320 you get differences between national cultures, 632 00:26:11,340 --> 00:26:13,680 but you'll also get differences within the culture. Right. 633 00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:14,533 New York and Boston. 634 00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:18,240 Right. Sure. Or regions, you know. Yeah. The American, the, 635 00:26:18,340 --> 00:26:22,760 the American South and the, and the s and Northeast. Yeah. And in, 636 00:26:23,260 --> 00:26:25,520 um, in Australia there's a, there's a, 637 00:26:26,110 --> 00:26:31,080 it's more than just a playful rivalry between Sydneyites and 638 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,160 Melbourne. Sure. 639 00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:35,040 So he's annoyed them because he was take, 640 00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:39,680 took too much time in Sydney and now Melbourne's a little annoyed that he's 641 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,160 showing up. Well. 642 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,600 Well, once again, the Melbourne, Mel, 643 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,280 Melbourne folks are being told that their second fiddle to Sydney. Yeah. 644 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:48,120 He's coming from Sydney first, where a big deal was made. Right. 645 00:26:48,460 --> 00:26:51,760 And now I'll come and see you guys. Oh, and by the way, can you, 646 00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:53,840 can you move your schedule for me because. 647 00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:54,720 I'm running late? 648 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,480 'cause I spent more time it exactly than I had originally scheduled at Sydney. 649 00:26:58,670 --> 00:26:58,960 Yeah. 650 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,640 So like, oh yeah, sure. We'll take sure. 651 00:27:01,660 --> 00:27:02,230 Mm-hmm. . 652 00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:04,320 Yeah. So they're already annoyed. 653 00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:07,500 They're already, can I, I have one more question, Uhhuh. 654 00:27:07,580 --> 00:27:11,860 I have one more question on this. Is this really question one of five? 655 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,300 Or is those are the five things? 656 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,700 No, this are the five things. Five. 657 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:17,060 Things. Ah, gotcha. This are the five things. Okay. So, alright, great. So. 658 00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:20,780 I think we've identified what three, um, we have identified the. 659 00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:25,140 There's a time element or a, a, a competition element between Sydney and Mel. 660 00:27:25,370 --> 00:27:27,460 Yeah. You don't want, you don't want table a cultural element. You. 661 00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:30,860 Wanna tell taxi, right. The table, the sitting in the front seat with the taxi. 662 00:27:31,090 --> 00:27:32,180 What about the idea that it, 663 00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:36,180 that once the guy stays in the backseat doesn't pick up on the hint, 664 00:27:36,370 --> 00:27:39,340 then he jumps onto his phone and is going over things on that. 665 00:27:39,530 --> 00:27:40,660 Yeah, I think you're right. Mm-hmm. , 666 00:27:40,660 --> 00:27:44,140 I think he just reinforced the opinions that the driver had more. 667 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,353 You are making this up. 668 00:27:45,610 --> 00:27:48,980 Yeah, he did. He said he was looking at his phone, looking at notes. Mm-hmm. 669 00:27:49,610 --> 00:27:51,700 Well, he is looking at notes whether they're on his phone or not. 670 00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:54,540 Mentally reviewing some un I I happen to, I pulled. 671 00:27:54,540 --> 00:27:58,340 It up. Oh, you're cheating . No, I looking on You could've done that too. 672 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,780 You wrote, well, what do you mean? I could've done that? You could pull it out. 673 00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:03,860 Well, the answers on, well, I could've cheated as well, mentally reviewing. 674 00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:05,700 There's a cultural point. This I think. 675 00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:06,900 Problem moments from the meeting. 676 00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:11,940 Mentally. Wow. Wow.

So I, I I. 679 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,340 We need. 680 00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:17,580 Two more. I'm a little stumped here. We. 681 00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:19,660 Need two more. Okay.

I mean, a, a short answer. Yes. Okay. 687 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,450 Well, let me, let me see. And, 688 00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:37,290 and he got into there and he's gotta make the plane still sitting in the 689 00:28:37,490 --> 00:28:38,450 backseat playing. I. 690 00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:38,530 Mean, 691 00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:41,610 is that two separate things in the taxi that first of all sat in the back to 692 00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:44,450 begin with and then didn't change once they said, I. 693 00:28:44,490 --> 00:28:46,730 I just think that aggravated the situation even more. 694 00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,490 So that's two. So there's three we're, that's just one. Okay.

Right. 707 00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:11,890 Uh, I don't remember hearing that. Well. 708 00:29:12,430 --> 00:29:13,263 That's was. 709 00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:15,130 Right.

So. 715 00:29:20,930 --> 00:29:24,210 Maybe that's customary in Australian business meetings to continue to ask 716 00:29:24,450 --> 00:29:26,570 questions to kinda let the process play out with more and more questions. 717 00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:30,090 Whereas in the US us America business context, we want to kind of get to. 718 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:31,970 Get to the point and get over it. Get the point. Yes. 719 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,050 Wrap it up and get out of there. Yeah. 720 00:29:34,130 --> 00:29:35,250 I think you're, I I, you're right. 721 00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:37,850 And I think you're reinforcing something that Tom said, Torin. 722 00:29:38,790 --> 00:29:40,090 Oh, I think I get the points then. 723 00:29:40,090 --> 00:29:42,200 Oh, no, I don't think so. No, I'm not saying that for that. Oh, 724 00:29:42,380 --> 00:29:46,520 I'm just saying because you did mention the issue of time. I did. You're, 725 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,800 and you're raising time again, Uhhuh, . Um, 726 00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:50,720 but I think through the, 727 00:29:50,780 --> 00:29:54,680 the point about questioning at questions at the meeting, right. Um, 728 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,600 there is this difference sense of time, 729 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,520 and you are really gonna see it between Melbourne Heights and Sydneyites, 730 00:29:59,540 --> 00:30:00,680 but Oh, right. 731 00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:05,760 But you'll see it between Americans and Australians in general. Okay. The, 732 00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:09,520 the get to the point I, listen, I'm coming here with the expertise, 733 00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:12,720 just listen to me and let's get this done. And the fastest we can get it done, 734 00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:14,440 the better. And you're only, 735 00:30:14,820 --> 00:30:18,920 you are only pushing your Australian colleague to try to slow things down 736 00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:22,800 because you're not being a mate, you're not being a bloke. 737 00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:27,760 So there's a re an an opposite reaction to the 738 00:30:27,830 --> 00:30:32,520 kind of pushing for faster time that would come about slowing things down 739 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,800 instead of, especially when you, instead of actually doing what you would like, 740 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,240 especially. 741 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,880 When you've come in as a tall poppy with all the answers to their. 742 00:30:38,010 --> 00:30:41,640 Right. Right, right. Okay. So they're looking for ways to chop your head off. 743 00:30:41,790 --> 00:30:42,623 Yeah. 744 00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:46,130 The, the similarities in the cultures are there, but here's the difference. 745 00:30:46,510 --> 00:30:50,290 90% of Australians live along the coast. Ah-huh. , 746 00:30:50,510 --> 00:30:53,210 not 90% of Americans don't live along the coast, right? 747 00:30:53,210 --> 00:30:56,170 No, a lot of 'em do. But not 90% we're nowhere near that. 748 00:30:56,220 --> 00:30:59,250 Right. Because the interior is very, very hostile. 749 00:30:59,270 --> 00:31:02,570 Oh my goodness. Yes. Very hostile, very difficult. Right, right. Yeah. Okay. 750 00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:07,010 So in order to succeed in Australia, you've gotta, if you're gonna, 751 00:31:07,070 --> 00:31:08,130 if you're gonna succeed at all, 752 00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:10,050 especially if you're going to go in the interior, 753 00:31:10,350 --> 00:31:14,690 you've gotta build relationships with people and depend on each other. Hmm. 754 00:31:14,690 --> 00:31:19,330 Okay. Or else, or else. You gotta be a mate, you gotta be a bloke. Hmm. 755 00:31:19,390 --> 00:31:21,530 You gotta be somebody I can trust. Uhhuh . 756 00:31:21,590 --> 00:31:23,290 And that's the first thing that counts. 757 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,230 Okay. 758 00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:28,770 So you don't come in with all the answers. You go to a, you go to the bar, 759 00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:33,440 you're invited to for a drink, socialize, somebody buys you a shout. 760 00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:37,560 They call it a shout. Okay. You have to buy the next shout. Nice. Right. 761 00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:42,440 It's this constant interplay to build, to, to build relationships. Right. 762 00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:44,120 And the, 763 00:31:44,420 --> 00:31:48,920 the topography in which most Australians do live along the coast is just the 764 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,640 opposite of the interior. It's very, very pleasant. Hmm. Okay. 765 00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:57,280 Australians have said to Americans, why are you coming here? You're coming, 766 00:31:57,580 --> 00:32:00,160 you know, 3000 miles. You can just go to California. 767 00:32:01,030 --> 00:32:05,360 There's a certain similarity in the topography where they do live, 768 00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:08,560 and the, and the climate and the weather. Uhhuh, . 769 00:32:08,780 --> 00:32:12,880 And it's more laid back, you know, throw another shrimp on the Barbie, okay? 770 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,160 Mm-hmm. 771 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:13,440 mm-hmm. 772 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,640 . Right. So that whole idea of chill. Oh, okay. 773 00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:21,960 Take your time. Right. And if we have questions, let's deal with things. 774 00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:24,360 Let's deal with the questions, let's get the answers. 775 00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:27,880 And if you're rubbing me the wrong way, I'm gonna ask lots of questions. 776 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,040 Mm-hmm. Right. Slow things down. And not even in, in, in, 777 00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:32,640 as with a lot of cultural things, 778 00:32:32,860 --> 00:32:36,960 I'm guessing that a lot of this stuff would be done almost in a subconscious way 779 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,960 too. It's not done. I'm gonna fix you as much as it is. Um, 780 00:32:40,990 --> 00:32:44,080 this is my reaction to feeling pushed and rushed. 781 00:32:44,090 --> 00:32:46,840 Right. Most people don't realize that they're working from a cultural. 782 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,800 Place because it is a cultural thing. Sure. I'm. 783 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,100 Unconscious. 784 00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:50,280 Rarely do any of us. Right. 785 00:32:50,290 --> 00:32:54,240 Right. Except you've annoyed this guy so much now that he's happy to be. 786 00:32:54,620 --> 00:32:55,640 Now he is doing Yeah. 787 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:56,870 . 788 00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:59,920 Alright, so we got four. Yeah, I understand that. Okay. 789 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,160 I don't have a fifth one. Uh, I'm, I'm tapped out. Okay. Um, uh, Dean, 790 00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:06,760 we'll we'll give up on that one. What do we got for a fifth one? 791 00:33:06,940 --> 00:33:11,240 Uh, you know, I, I'm gonna give points to both of you for the fifth one. Oh. 792 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,960 Because it's kind of related to the first one that we talked about. 793 00:33:16,540 --> 00:33:19,000 We talked about this tall poppy syndrome. 794 00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:23,440 We talked about being a mate and being a bloke and depending on each other and 795 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,440 building trust. Mm-hmm. , it's all, you know, of a, of, of, 796 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:27,333 of a piece. 797 00:33:27,670 --> 00:33:31,040 There's also this whole idea that when you look at the history of Australia, 798 00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:34,370 where did all these people start? Where'd they come from? 799 00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:36,050 Other than the indigenous people? Right. 800 00:33:36,050 --> 00:33:37,290 Ab other than the aboriginals Aboriginal. 801 00:33:37,290 --> 00:33:41,330 People. Right. The, the cut from the, from the European continent from Yeah. 802 00:33:41,330 --> 00:33:43,810 It was a penal colon. A lot from the uk. Yeah. Yeah. It. 803 00:33:43,810 --> 00:33:44,650 Was a penal colon. 804 00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:46,083 Absolutely. Yeah. These. 805 00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:50,210 The, and Australians will proudly refer to themselves as ies. Mm-hmm. Okay. 806 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,770 Prisoners of her majesty's surface. Sure. Huh. Sure. 807 00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:57,250 So we all started out here all the same, 808 00:33:57,470 --> 00:34:02,010 and the same happened to be really way down the social ladder. 809 00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:03,410 Right, right. So. 810 00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:06,530 Anybody who puts on airs of any kind Oh. 811 00:34:06,530 --> 00:34:07,850 Sure. Yep. Right. 812 00:34:07,870 --> 00:34:12,730 Yep. Is immediately gonna be challenged. Yeah. So if you put on airs, 813 00:34:12,730 --> 00:34:16,650 like you come here with all the answers, you come here with all the, 814 00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:21,770 the solutions. Just do what we say as a lot of us Americans and Britains too. 815 00:34:21,770 --> 00:34:25,850 Because after all, they were prisoners of her Majesty service. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 816 00:34:25,890 --> 00:34:26,130 , 817 00:34:26,130 --> 00:34:29,970 I would imagine that the Britts could alienate them even faster than the 818 00:34:30,210 --> 00:34:30,990 Americans. And. 819 00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:31,930 I'm sure there are cases where they. 820 00:34:31,930 --> 00:34:36,250 Have 'cause of the history. Right? Yeah, sure. Exactly. Yeah. Sure. Okay. Cool. 821 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:38,290 Huh. Okay. That's interesting. Yeah. 822 00:34:38,290 --> 00:34:41,010 Now, this is one of the differences, and it's not mentioned in this scenario, 823 00:34:41,110 --> 00:34:43,170 but if, you know, you wanna dig deeper into, 824 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,410 into the histories of the cultures of Australia and the US and, 825 00:34:46,510 --> 00:34:50,010 and other cultures of similarities. You look at New Zealand Hmm. 826 00:34:50,010 --> 00:34:53,810 This is one of the differences between a Aussies and Kiwis, 827 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,890 because in New Zealand they were imprisons of her Majesty service. 828 00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:59,010 Right. Right. These. 829 00:34:59,010 --> 00:35:01,050 Folks came a whole lot later. Right. 830 00:35:01,310 --> 00:35:06,170 And they came often as landed gentry who were looking for more 831 00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:06,990 opportunity. 832 00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:11,010 So a totally different viewpoint of the mother country and that much more. 833 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,610 Much more connected to the mother country. 834 00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:15,250 Than, and we have, I know we have talked about that in the past. 835 00:35:15,730 --> 00:35:19,170 'cause we talked about your trip to both New Zealand and Australia, and, 836 00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:21,850 and you were mentioning that then. And, and I, that's, 837 00:35:22,090 --> 00:35:25,210 I find that very interesting because of the, the proximity, 838 00:35:25,310 --> 00:35:29,010 the geographical proximity of the two countries and the, 839 00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:33,250 the past history in the sense of both being from an a, 840 00:35:33,690 --> 00:35:36,890 a large point of the pop population coming from, uh, 841 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,200 other than the indigenous people coming from, um, 842 00:35:40,460 --> 00:35:44,120 the UK or from England itself. And, uh, 843 00:35:44,180 --> 00:35:45,840 and yet being vastly different. 844 00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:46,960 Vastly different. And, 845 00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:50,160 but they're not burdened with this history of new prisons of her majesty 846 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,720 service. Huh. Right. Alright. It seems to be a point of pride. You know what, 847 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,520 I I, yeah. Not, I should, I should correct myself not burdened by it, 848 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,353 but a point of pride. 849 00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:01,640 Oh no, they aren't. They, they still feel very good about it. Right. I mean, 850 00:36:01,830 --> 00:36:06,640 they, they were very, they're very happy to con to be part of, of that entire, 851 00:36:07,020 --> 00:36:09,520 um, kingdom in essence. So. 852 00:36:09,570 --> 00:36:10,080 Right. So. 853 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:10,440 Where in the. 854 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,840 Commonwealth? So how, how many, how many points you guys get? No points. 855 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:14,920 I get the points without. 856 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,560 One. I think, wait a minute. Yeah. You think you get all the points. 857 00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:19,680 How did he win ? I knew this was gonna happen. This was gonna happen. 858 00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:20,533 It was inevitable. 859 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,240 I get all the points, but each of you gets a jar of Vegemite. 860 00:36:23,740 --> 00:36:24,120 Oh, great. 861 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,160 Perfect. Excellent. I'm, I'm gonna go in and gag myself now. . Um, 862 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:28,520 actually. 863 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,170 Would like to try it. 864 00:36:29,170 --> 00:36:30,520 Sorry, oie. I'm sorry. 865 00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:33,880 I've heard Yeah, I, but obviously people love it too. Yeah. 866 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,760 Yeah. Yeah. I, it's a, um, 867 00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:40,120 it's a lot of talk I do every year watch the Australian tennis open Sure. Yeah. 868 00:36:40,230 --> 00:36:42,840 Down there. And they always bring that up at some point. 869 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,200 to the broadcast, back to the us. Yeah. And the funny thing is, 870 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,200 because Australia has a long history in tennis, uh, 871 00:36:49,390 --> 00:36:53,400 long and glorious history and tennis and, um, so the, 872 00:36:53,460 --> 00:36:54,560 the people on there, 873 00:36:54,590 --> 00:36:57,880 several of the p announcers and stuff back to the United States are from 874 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,720 Australia. Yeah. For, for all of the tennis, uh, broadcast. And, um, 875 00:37:02,860 --> 00:37:05,960 and they will gladly bring up how much they like it. Mm-hmm. . 876 00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:09,360 And I think they do that just to get to the other people. Oh, sure. 877 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,480 to get a reaction. 878 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,680 Yeah. No, I, I, I would like to try it at some point. 879 00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:20,720 Um, should we move to our next continental or region? 880 00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:23,360 Should we go on and do one more? I think we should. I mean, 881 00:37:23,370 --> 00:37:25,800 we're gonna be a little time pressed 'cause I don't wanna drag this out too 882 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,720 long, but that's all right. Okay, let's do another one then. All right. 883 00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:32,760 Hop on the plane and we'll go somewhere else.

Oh, well. 943 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,120 Now we're getting arrogant. 944 00:40:11,150 --> 00:40:13,160 Well, I'm a little arrogant about it. Yeah. . But, 945 00:40:13,220 --> 00:40:16,400 but I thought that the other two, the second and third choices, 946 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,880 B and C I thought were kind of had a sort of tie in 947 00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:26,280 in the sense that, that it's a phrase used throughout that entire region. 948 00:40:26,430 --> 00:40:27,400 Yeah.

Okay. 954 00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:41,680 The third one was representing the community and brotherhood that exists between 955 00:40:41,740 --> 00:40:45,640 all Arabic speaking countries in the region, which doesn't exist exist. 956 00:40:45,660 --> 00:40:48,320 But, but I thought that would be a way of tying them together, 957 00:40:48,420 --> 00:40:51,840 is that they all say it, but, Hmm. Nah. Well. 958 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,160 This is true. They do all say it. 959 00:40:53,390 --> 00:40:55,960 It's one thing your quiz shake doesn't really tie together. 960 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,680 .

Okay. 1249 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:36,290 C. 1250 00:53:36,290 --> 00:53:37,270 I'm also gonna go C. 1251 00:53:37,690 --> 00:53:39,470 The sword. Yeah. Wrong. Ah. 1252 00:53:40,690 --> 00:53:45,190 Really? I was really kind of hoping it was C uh, uh, that's, 1253 00:53:45,190 --> 00:53:46,350 that's why Yeah. I had no idea. 1254 00:53:46,540 --> 00:53:47,120 Yeah. 1255 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:51,350 Sabra refers to individuals born in Israel who behave according to the Israeli 1256 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,830 stereotype of being brash at first. Huh. Then warm and friendly over time, 1257 00:53:55,830 --> 00:54:00,190 because the word sabra is the Hebrew word for the prickly pear. 1258 00:54:00,620 --> 00:54:02,590 Okay. The fruit of the prickly pear. Yeah. 1259 00:54:02,850 --> 00:54:03,683 Oh. 1260 00:54:03,890 --> 00:54:05,870 So it's prickly on the outside when first. 1261 00:54:05,870 --> 00:54:07,030 Meet, then when you get in there. 1262 00:54:07,180 --> 00:54:11,030 Yeah. They question you. They, they, they, they're kind of in your face. Uh, 1263 00:54:11,030 --> 00:54:13,990 yeah. Challenge you. Uhhuh , uh, they're in a rush. Listen, 1264 00:54:13,990 --> 00:54:16,310 Israelis don't have time for things, you know? Right, right. 1265 00:54:16,310 --> 00:54:17,910 Everything is always an emergency. Sure. 1266 00:54:17,970 --> 00:54:20,350 Or at least historically has been uhhuh . Right. 1267 00:54:20,850 --> 00:54:25,230 So let's not waste time even with niceties necessarily. Yeah. If I, 1268 00:54:25,230 --> 00:54:27,670 if you don't say something more direct, if you say something I don't like, 1269 00:54:27,770 --> 00:54:30,710 I'm gonna tell you Yeah. I'm in your face. But over time, 1270 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,390 we're gonna build a trusting, loving, warm, 1271 00:54:34,470 --> 00:54:37,400 and long-term relationship. So that's. 1272 00:54:37,580 --> 00:54:38,680 All right. That concept. So this. 1273 00:54:38,990 --> 00:54:42,240 Once you get through the prickly stuff, it's sweet and juicy. 1274 00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:46,760 So, I'm sorry, is sabra that that concept or is that a a a person is No. 1275 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,560 It's a concept. It's a concept. It's a cultural concept. 1276 00:54:49,030 --> 00:54:50,240 Alright. Interesting. Alright. 1277 00:54:50,700 --> 00:54:51,533 Ah, that's cool. 1278 00:54:51,830 --> 00:54:54,560 Yeah, it's good to know. It's that, that's very interesting.
