Hackham: Split in half by South Road, and that makes all the difference.
"Wahnambul" ??? WTF
It's "War nam bool" mate
My observation/belief is that Melbourne's existential conflict is this:
It was built to be a Futuristic Sci-Fi Tech Dystopia; but it is ran by people who are Nostalgic Folklore & Nature-loving Utopians.
WTF is happening with Aussie Cossack ? Busted by the AFP for exposing a pedophile ?? Citizens exposing corruption get locked-up & pedophiles getting all the protection... Is that the new definition of democracy !!! ??

I grew up in Adelaide thinking we had a rivalry with Melbourne. It wasn't until I moved to Melbourne as an adult I realised that rivalry is in Adelaide's head and Melbourne is completely unaware of it
Same thing with the Melbourne Sydney rivalry, no one in Sydney cares xD
@@PandaKnight52 lol everyone's punching up
@@PandaKnight52 Except Sydney does engage. Every time I see a Melbourne v Sydney thing the comments are full of people from Sydney saying what a dump they think Melbourne is. Whereas in Melbourne no one cares what so ever about Adelaide
Adelaides rivalry is hobart, both shit holes
@@Jordan-288 Sydney engages with a reply., Its very different to the typical Melbournian approach...
Ive never had an issue with Melbourne, well, except the weather...
So yes.. Im with Panda. As im from Sydney I totally agree... as would most people I know.
As a Melbournian, I feel the need to clarify, we weren't trying to become London, we were trying to become Paris, don't ask how we fucked it up so badly, we don't know either
Yeah. The "Paris End" of Collins Street. Always thought that was a wanker term (yet I miss it now I live in Adelaide)😹
You didn't fuck it up completely - you 100% nailed the arrogance!😍
Pre-Covid , Melbourne was the only place in Australia that you could make money playing Post-Rock
Paris at least cares about its heritage buildings, last time I looked Melbourne wants to be san Francisco.
Henry Bolte fucked the Paris End. Same as he fucked St.Kilda Rd. In fact that monster, bolte, destroyed many, wonderful, old Melbourne buildings.
As someone who has only ever lived in Darwin, all I have to say is, obviously they were boogie boarding in the drain during a monsoon because you wouldn't be able to boogie board at a beach during monsoon season because you would be instantly murdered by a box jelly fish and if all of that fails you will probably be eaten alive by a saltwater crocodile
Haha finally an accurate comment.
hi from Darwin by the way haha
8 months of sharks, 8 months of jellyfish, 8 months of crocodiles. pick any 2.

The ferris wheel gets better. It's outside of the ABC building.
You can't take good picture of the ABC building in brissy without either the 7 logo on the wheel behind it, or in the reflection of the windows.
Should we be worried about how well Jordan did Dave Hughes' voice?
I wasnt watching my phone and thought it was a voice clip 🤣🤣

I haven’t seen them both in the same room. Have you??
That impression was truly gold logie worthy.
That was fucking shocking.
Non Australians just wont appreciate how spot on the Dave hughs impression is.
the impression caught me off guard lol
Wait, that was an impression? I thought it was just Dave Hughes.
"Sydney: Lazy Hong Kong"
lol. Perfect. As an Aussie who's lived in Hong Kong, yeah, that's a pretty good description of Sydney.
*_"...It's like everyone else evolved from Chimps, but in Perth everyone evolved from Bonobos..."_*
I want this on a goddamned t-shirt. I don't think I've ever heard a better backhander of a compliment.
That Dave Hughes impression was fkn spot on. Even got the inflection right lol
It was scarily good!!
I wasn't looking at the screen at the time and just assumed he had gotten Dave to do it. Had to go back and check.
It was incredible, just lacked a "faaaaaaaaaark" at the end.
A bit too funny for Hughesy.
Yeah it was good
During your last show in Brisbane you made fun of neck beards. The warhammer fan sitting infront of me almost cried. Thankyou
Lucky, the neck beard I was seated near stank like a dead horse, just a visible vapour of crotch rot, shit, weeks old sweat, and mixed with whatever debris they roll around in.
Tshirt and trackies, the most *airy* of clothing choices.

Ah, Brisbane! - land of the corporatised oompa loompa and bland-loving vacuous elite who don't approve of corruption and bigotry, but do so love to reminisce about the pre-nighties era and how...ehem... quiet and orderly it all was...
It's a place where you can still hear the old folks say, "I know Jo did a few things I wouldn't agree with, but..."
It's a come-as-you-are casual place - as long as you aren't from Ipswich - or anywhere further South or West; its for those too perocial (none dare say self-important an inbred) to know where other capitals are, or who naively thought they couldn't afford Sydney or Melbourne and believed Brisbane would be safer, and less likely to turn into a giant labyrinthian carpark of wannabe well-born bogans, too cashed up and self-important to consider living anywhere rural, and too in love with drive-thrus and weatherboards turned into winchup concrete malls housing JB hifi and bunnings to look elsewhere in the world. Its THE place for those who like humidity and muddy rivers, or just for those who love qld but couldn't quite admit to being shallow enough to enjoy the gold coast. It's the city that doesn't mind what colour or you are... as long as you're not a bikie, don't look too dark, and aren't too hairy, too tattooed, or something like that...
FJ not being able to properly criticise Brisbane is evidence of not spending enough time to notice any of its flaws... it has none of course... because that would be dangerously close to character.
It's a place so boring you wish your neighbours were hipsters and "neck beards" (etc) because although they don't have a type (they really do) their lives are so dull that even hipsters seem genuinely interesting.
Brisbane: all the self importance and self-love of Sydney or Melbourne, just without the character. 😂👍
@@Sceusell please jordis, it’s hard to enjoy your show when the fans smell of rotten ass and stale piss-sweat.
As someone from Brisbane, the big shit thing is the traffic. Every fucking street is narrow and windy or a 4-lane main road, or somehow both at the same time.
Oh yeah there's also the fact that once every 5-10 years that murky, shark filled river decides it's time for the city to go full Atlantis, and flips a coin for every person to decide if they will be homeless or a member of Clean Up Australia month.
Freo: We said we'd turn up to the thing but we're not going to.
Freo: Hipster Central of Perth
Freo: Yeah, nah, just going to hang out at Hungry Jacks instead
I lived in a small town exactly half way between Bendigo and Ballarat. Used to flip a coin to choose which Bunnings I needed to go to. The only difference I can tell between the two towns is that one of them seems to have marginally wider streets and has a slightly flatter topography but I can never remember which one it is….
That’d be Ballarat. Very hilly in the middle of Bendigo but even then I had to think about it for a bit.
Bro!! Wtf!! Are you from Maryborough!! I just commented something about being same distance from both!! Hahau
Guildford? Castlemaine?
All of that part of Victoria is flat as a tack.
The mallee above also has to be the flattest place I've seen. Just nothing but flat as fuck farmland for ages
Both ancient tartarian cities.
I lived on the Gold Coast for a decade and I’m still not over the really weird extreme dichotomy of theme parks, beaches and family fun with strippers, drugs and nightclubs that’s only differentiated by night and day.
It’s like having our very own shitty slice of Floridian pie.
I love how the totally different scenes share the same space. Like Cabramatta: vibrant family-friendly Vietnamese community by day, junkie wasteland by night.
They're both roughly 3,000km from the equator
When I first saw Florida I was like... this feels exactly like home... 😅
Hoards of 15 year olds on bashing sprees #palmyarmy
Strippers and nightclubs are kind of just theme parks for a different audience.
As someone in Perth, I am unsurprised you get asked to join orgies. It's a city where you gotta be able to make your own fun, so yeah, it checks out. Also there is a North Vs South unspoken civil war based on which side of the river you're on.
Fuck south
I've been here 7 years and I still don't understand the North and South civil war but somehow understand if your from the other side it explains everything wrong with your personality
It’s said that North living people have big egos
They are the kind who attend UWA and get caught in high school for certain entrepreneurial ventures and boy school elitism
the same exists in sydney and melbourne, pretty sure every city has their own version
Redlands in Brisbane is for "The newlywed or the nearly dead" due to the abundance of schools and nursing homes.
How could you do an ultimate guide to Australia and not talk about memories from primary school cross country? When's it coming Jordies!?
Hear hear! Hold him to account!
Hold him to account!!
Cross Country aka Hog tieing little kids with duct tape.
Perhaps, like me, he was glad to leave that torture behind-the only good thing about adulting is not having to participate in sports you hate.

Brisbane is and always will be the little country town that tried to grow up. The roads and drivers are testament to that. You can go almost anywhere and bump into someone you know. Happens every few weeks.
Yeah, I always bump into a friend and then abandon them because another friend bumped into me, repeat ad infinitum, when I'm at the Burrow.
Living in Perth, I reckon it's just nice to be able to put the heater on whenever I damn well feel like it!

You missed the best part about the channel 7 Ferris wheel in Brisbane. Its directly in front of the ABC office windows just to drive in the difference in budget
Darlington Point:
That town no one remembers for the birth of Bill Ferguson (Australia's Martin Luther King) and Dubbo (Dubbvegas as the cool kids call it) gets all the credit.
Port Macquarie: A slice of suburbia in the middle of nowhere, home to 50% retirees and 50% teenage delinquents. Enjoy the Koala Hospital, where you can have fun trying to find the dying koala which DOESN'T have chlamydia
try 80% retirees man, average age is older than the queen.

Yep, this be the land of Nationals voting boomers. When it's not god's waiting room, it's an overpriced Byron alternative.

Slim Dusty wrote a song about us once....*crickets chirping*
It took me a few seconds too long to realise that wasn't actually a clip of Hughesy but a Jordies impression of Hughesy 🤣
So accurate
As a Geelong-ian we are generally regarded as melbourne-lite😂.
Doesn't stop them arriving in droves along the coast in summer or long weekends though
Here's a better description for Toowoomba. Its like that old person you know having a late midlife crisis and tries to act all young and cool but realistically just looks even worse for it. Also tends to mimic Melbourne because of all the cafes and coffee shops it has all over the place
Canberra: it’s just like a museum staffed entirely by public servants. Top attractions: the Australian war memorial, the national museum of Australia and ‘cunt mountain’ AKA Parliament House.
Queanbeyan: not stoked about being so close to Canberra, but happy to get a cut of the rort.
You do know Cannabis is legal here don't you says a lot doesn't it 🤣😅😅😆
Lived here for 12 years and I'm still not sure where the National Museum is. Good place to live if you like nature and occasional Kyrgios sightings (he threw a basketball at my brother in highschool and didn't apologise the cunt).

As a non-Australian, I gotta say that Darwin sounds REALLY aptly named to be the host-city for an official Darwin-Awards
Stroud nsw. there's a pub, an IGA which used to be a pub, a post office which also used to be a pub and now featuring a state of the area country club which may or may not have once been a pub.
Incase you're wondering which between Newcastle's love for art and kfc is stronger, we paved over some ancient aborigional artifacts to string up the largest KFC in the southern hemisphere. Priorities

Honestly, Jordies already near-perfectly summed up Adelaide, but I would have added this:
Adelaide: The place that somehow consistently ranks as the 2nd most liveable city in the world, despite our emergency centres having more ramping than Skate 3.
(Hey, what do you know, we _do_ hate our own city!)
#1 this year.
Its true! Back in the day I used to be in a pub/club band that toured the country for years. Perth, the locals would be like: "Whaddaythink of Perth? Pretty cool, ay!" Get to Adelaide, and the locals would be like: "Whaddaythink of Adelaide? Pretty shit, ay!".
@@ceevio_art If you live in Adelaide, and you hate Adelaide, you're part of the problem
The skate 3 reference gets a pass
hahahah
Launceston has something called a convection layer that traps all the smoke in winter from everyones fireplaces inside the valley. Its great for asthmatics and means that its warmer than Hobart even if the weather forecast never says so.
thats really interesting
Sister town of Armadale, eh? Same problem/tourist attraction.
also in launceston we have a ridiculous amount of meth for the size of our population. it's like snow that falls all year round
Inversion layer - it traps colder air under warmer air and traps smoke and smog. Tuggeranong in Canberra is famous for it, it's a decent health problem.
@@RATMbrad Bloody hell, im sorry to hear that, I Absolutely LOVE Launceston. I went to UMC .. Was wanting to become a Pilot.
Bathurst was pretty spot on. Doesn't matter how fast you drive in this city, you're getting tailgated.
Bathurst is a city?
As someone who grew up in Canberra but has lived in Melbourne for 15 years, your assessment of both cities is spot on.
Adelaide:
- "It sucks, but at least we aren't Melbourne."
- "Come for the Fringe, stay for the pot."
- "A Godless city with too many churches."
Last one's fucken great
As someone who grew up in Adelaide... what you said is spot on. Everyone who lives there constantly rants about wanting to leave... but never does because they're too content with their lives and cbf
Adelaide is actually great, but no one from there seems to be willing to admit it. I guess I'm the same.
I confirm this

Me sitting in Canberra: oh boy, what's he going to say. come on, lets have at it, give us your best shot.
FJ: its cold and full of smart people
me: oh. huh. well that is true.
I found it to be cold and full of heroin addicts. Also got robbed by a property manager, experienced a home invasion, and was targeted by junkies in my street who harassed me until I had a nervous breakdown and moved back to QLD. Canberra is a rectum. Didn’t see any smart people either, just privileged public servants running a rort for their egos, friends and families. The wildlife and nature is absolutely gorgeous. But the people. The people. I just, can’t.
As a fellow Canberran, testify.
so smart yet no one can drive properly haha
As a Canberran, the road sign bit was totally inaccurate. You'll be hard pressed finding any roadside signage without at least one bent pole. it's like all the intelligence drains out once behind the wheel and dyslexia sets in.
And the winter isn't so bad, it's the summer that's buggered. Combine heat, drivers and fuel prices, and forget Broken Hill - we are Australia's real White Line Nightmare.
The cold's not even that bad unless you live in a place with shitty insulation. I've barely turned my heater on so far this winter
Townsville: The mines meets the Army. What could go wrong?
Im from Brisbane..it's in a constant state of buses replacing trains. Only Queensland Rail would run a 3 carriage train on a State of Origin night at 5.30pm

I'm from Melbourne, I moved to Geelong for work, everyone is way more friendly and polite. Part of why I prefer it. Melbourne is crowded and that shows up in being angry. You're not fighting for personal space or starting a fight for changing lanes in Geelong
same here. moved from Werribee to Geelong. Even I have to commute to 2 hours for my work in Melbourne couple of days, Geelong is best place for family. Good community. Best people. Only problem is high property prices.
@@Enlight_Entertain yeah cheaper in like City of Melton but you might know, Melton doesn't have a Hospital or a Westfield & as funny as that sounds. House prices in Leopold increased alot from the Supermarket becoming a regional plaza

@@godamid4889 Futher down? The Prince's? Too many tourist that don't do 100k until the over taking lane suddenly can do 120
I moved to Canberra almost three years ago. Love it here so much. I can't say it's an unhappy place. However I would say it really is the city of the nerds. It's like high school but instead of the dickhead kids on the footy team bullying everyone, it's nerds who think the height of fashion is either Macpac or Kathmandu paired with a wide brimmed hat with the string that goes under your chin. Everyone goes hiking here and when they're not hiking they're walking around their neighbourhoods in their hiking gear. I once saw a bloke walking through the suburbs carrying a full 70L hiking pack.
I mean what the hell else is there to do in Canberra?
You will learn to love the wide brimmed hat in Canberra. You will burn twice as fast as anywhere on the coast.
@@AlexSchladetsch if you're interested in national history - everything. If you are only interested in what normies like then everything that you can do in Sydney.
Hey man, I'm on my couch in my hiking gear, it's cold as here [in Belco]
Benefits of living in a crater is there is a mountain/hill never too far to hike. Pretty sure the fashion of Canberra is a bright blue suit and a pair of RM Williams to make it "casual"
Newman: A small town full of knobs built around a big hole in the middle of a bloody desert.
Torquay, that holiday town where all the locals get shitty about it being a holiday town.
By locals I mean people who moved there from the city 5 months ago and shafted the housing market.
Caboolture: just don't look anyone in the eye, and you won't get stabbed (don't go to the train station when the sun's down)
Caboolture: That weird state in the process of gentrification where you have upper middle class housing developments 2 streets over from a dilapidated meth house.

The summer holiday your Dad takes you to every year, because he can't think of anything better.
BAHAHA!!! That was brilliant and accurate down to the Rozelle workers cottages. Lived in one for years! 😂 Oh and your Hughesy impersonation is on point... 👌
Based on their town slogan at the time; Be Happy, Live in Dubbo (Pick One). Or Dubbo; Wirradjuri for /Red Dirt/ and that's about all you need to know. Dubbo; a great zoo, a shitty "Gaol" tourist trap, and the city everyone drives through to bypass sydney if they're driving from Victoria to QLD
You not having anything bad to say about Brisbane makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
So let's fix that by talking about Maryborough, Queensland (not the inferior Maryborough in Victoria). 3 hours to the North, Maryborough has one claim to fame. PL Travers, author of Mary Poppins was born there. She was so ashamed of this she blatantly refused to talk about the town until her death. Now there's a dedicated set of Mary Poppins traffic lights and a bronze statue of Mary Poppins in the CBD of Maryborough.
Maryborough was going to be the capital city of Queensland, but the Mary River was too shallow. There's a giant statue of Ned Kelly holding a shotgun guarding the southern entrance of the town in Tinana, and it holds the dubious honour of being the only place in Australia that ever had an outbreak of the bubonic plague. Now it's so fucked by climate change that it flooded twice in the span of a couple of months earlier this year.
It also once held the title of most pubs per capita of any town in Australia, and they even used to hold a city-wide Pub Crawl where you had to visit 10 pubs in like 6 hours to go for a Guiness World Record for the world's largest pub crawl. Eventually they scrapped this because they realised Maryboroughians shouldn't be encouraged to drink more than they already do. (Fuckin BUNDY RUM MATE).
Anyway, that's where I was born and raised. MARYBOROUGH!
@Reors we're always just happy to be acknowledged.
AMusing, informative and probably factual, 9/10 well done smiley stamp.
I've been to Maryborough many times and it certainly isn't the happy hole the name makes it out to be. As a child I'd wonder if this town could get any more bogan and then the prison came and yes my god it can get more bogan.
It's the country town equivalent to mount Druitt. The train station is out of town so tourists on the tilt train can't see what they're in for. If the station was in the centre of town they'd look out the window and stay on the train to Bundy.
Sydney (specifically Ashfield) also lays claim to PL Travers - there's another Mary Poppins statue in Ashfield Park opposite where she used to live.
...and yet its still so very, very similar to the MaryBRAH in Vic
Port Macquarie "It's like Coffs Harbour. Now with concrete Koalas to replace all the real ones!"
I’d always laugh at Sydney and Melbourne having this fight of “whose the better city” since federation and joke that Brisbane is clearly better than both of them. I’m glad that Jordies agrees with me.
I’m from Brisbane, well said! You’d be just one of thousands who move up here to a better life. ☺️
Bendigo is just hot Ballarat and Ballarat is just cold Bendigo. That’s the only difference
From Brisbane, Glad a foreigner agrees with my take on it, but PLEASE stop telling people! the flood of southerners will soon upset the delicate balance.
If there was one bad thing I could think of for Brisbane, it's that it must be boring AF for tourists. ironically and probably because of the fact that its surrounded by loads of great tourist spots relatively nearby.
Yeah but it's pretty humid ay?
It will soon? It already has. There isn't even enough accommodation for the people that already live here after the boom of people moving up to Brisbane.
Everytime I hear "Brisbane is so boring" my answer is "good, good... stay away!" lol I love it here!
Yes unlike Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane has no tourist attractions, no city zoo or Aquarium and no iconic world renowned buildings.
@@richardfawke4357 we export all that to gold coast so we get to enjoy our life free of all this :D
LOL @ Toowoomba, I heard it was "2 hours and 20 years behind Brisbane"
The only downside of Brisbane is literally everytime anyone says "Brisvegas," unironically.
As someone living in Bendigo, I can confidently say the greatest feeling of disappointment and sadness in the past couple months was from learning that Ballarat got their Govhub before Bendigo.
if it makes you feel better, I have lived in Ballarat for 3 decades and now I want to move to Bendigo (or somewhere else). This city has turned to absolute shit in the last few years.
@@ThomasThorr someone hit a pothole ;)
Personally I love living in Bendigo, the whole place feels like a Crash Bandicoot level, but instead of trying to dodge nitro you're trying to dodge junkies trying to bash you and children trying to rob you of smokes

Brisbane is either something about how "brisbane river brown" is something I've actually said to describe the colour of something, or just
"Brisbane - you like some fucking hills?"
Sunny coast is just an old man going off at you about how Caloundra used to be called "clown town" while you drive past a shed that you're pretty sure is either housing a meth lab or a cult - or both.
I think you nailed Darwin pretty well. Playing in pipes and drains got so bad here that they literally had to make a televised animated song to stop youth playing in them. IT SHOULD JUST BE COMMON SENSE!! If anyone has a chance to watch it, I highly recommend it "Don't Play in Pipes and Drains".
Darwin: Yeah it's owned by China, but at least we're not Alice Springs.
thanks mate
Or Katherine!!!
I’ve boogie boarded in a storm drain before. I did it going away from the drain and stopped halfway to the next drain. Good times
Yeah thats pretty much discribes Darwin.
Then you have Palmerslum
Palmerston a slum like Alice Springs, but with less secruity bars on windows
@@Idpancakethatlived there and hated it, its just such a dangerous place
I live in the Deep South of Adelaide, we dont even have town. The slogan for the area would be "Woop Woop, where everyone thinks you're taking the piss when they ask for directions because all the places have names that sound like you made them up on the spot"
New Zealand: Where the people wish they were under the Australian Labor Government right now. Bugger it, make New Zealand New South Wales again, you can have us.
Croydon: An hour and a half commute to the city with 50 year old Brick veneers costing well north of a million because Tradies have to live somewhere...
I'm guess that's not the Croydon in Sydney
@@douglassmithe9799 Sydney has a Croydon????
@@frankcourtney6413 It does, I think there's a Croydon in NSW, Victoria and South Australia (maybe in the other states as well)
All I can think of is the Croydon in London. Now that's a dive.
A phrase that sums up my town perfectly is "You've never heard of it until you've moved there"
Brisbane: We're not the first capital that comes to mind
Bingara, NSW. Charming little town of 1600, situated on the Gwydir river. Has the only IGA I know where you can get a slab of Northern and a dishwasher in the same place.
Come for the oranges, stay for cheap housing if you don't smell of meth.
Port Macquarie; Dubbo by the sea
Taree; It sure aint Newcastle, but at least it we're not in Port Macquarie any more
Dubbo; "Next stop Dubbo, for your safety CountryLink advises all passengers to get off at Wellington"
Nice to see Taree finally.
I am from Newcastle. I can testify, people throwing things or yelling from cars is a thing. I don't know why. I guess it is because there is nothing to do if you don't like the beach or the lake.
So it isn't really a thing in other cities? I just thought it was normal haha.
Nelson bay: one giant retirement home for Sydney
the one time I when to Newcastle this happened ruclips.net/video/DhENIFAaj2s/видео.html
Yep I've had eggs thrown at me in Newcastle from a car.
I just thought this was normal, but now I look back this has only ever happened to me growing up in Newy. Shit aye.
Literally happened to me when I was there
Bungendore, that place canberra passes through on the way to the place they remember passing through on the way to batemans bay
You missed an opportunity with Canberra: The highest capital. Not only do we have legal weed here, we're perched in the F*&$ing mountains. Probably explains why the pollies always come off so dopey; most of the bastards suffer altitude sickness coming to parliament and can't focus on good policy (or they've got it chronic in the closet)! The fact that it's cold as a witches tit here half the time is just a good excuse for no one (not pollies, not public servants, not the bloody baristas at the 6 cafes per capita) to want to be here. The mass exodus for the cold months makes the ABS stats on residence look like the deciduous trees that Walter Burley Griffin decided needed to be planted EVERYWHERE!
Port Macquarie is a giant nursing home where everyone can drive (just as bad as it sounds) and the only reason the average age isn’t 80 is because of apprentices and uni students that were too lazy to move to Newcastle.
I'm so glad Australians voted Labor!
Now Jordies has made this guide to Australia and I'm finally ready to go exploring the country!
if you go roadtripping i definitely recommend checking out streaky bay SA, its a very nice small beach town
i saw him on a bus 6 years ago near bondi, i was to nervous to say hello. what a legend!
As a person who has lived Newcastle my whole life, that is correct, especially the very last thing you said about it.
Mackay: it’s won at least two Tidy Town Awards- but its’ greens-keeping plan hasn’t been updated since the 90’s (& it shows)
Or
Mackay: despite being a city since 1918 it’s retained ‘small-town charm’ ‘til about 10 years ago- complete with a virtually archaic bus service
Mackay, a better version of rockey but a shitter version than Townsville

Thank god Labor won... Getting the real FJ content now
real content? this stooge is talking about everything other then the most important moment in free speech. Why isn't he putting pressure on his good mate albo not intervening in Assange case? weak as piss.
@@Nicontrast Interested to hear what free passes he has been giving out. Haven't they only been governing less than a month? I'm genuinely curious.
@@adamj8099 Assange
@@mmmatthews9135 I'm pretty sure he done a video, like the week before or after the election, where he criticised Labor and said that Assange is the greatest disappointment he has with Labor.
@@Nicontrast lol not just free passes he has a boot full signed t shirts.
Some of your best work sir. Almost up there with ya MAFS stuff, MAFS we need more MAFS!
When I went on a holiday to canada, half the population of Adelaide was at my hotel, they all agreed they were trying to escape their city and didnt want to go back
Your pronunciation of "Warnambool" is adorable 😂
Townsville: dude, where's my car? Ahh yes, stolen and/or on fire in the back streets of Kelso
Bro I grew up in townsville, this is too true 😂😂😂
Up da Mussssssssssssssss
Hey and Kelso was *in* DWMC
From Darwin our local newspaper used to have a tally on the second page of how many people had been eaten by crocodiles that year. Basically everyone over the age of 20 knew a kid in primary school that got eaten.
I LOVED how you effed up the pronunciation of “Warrnambool”🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me or is Dave Hughes in fact becoming Judith Lucy?!
🤣🤣 mate, this is brilliant. Fuck lol
@Jason Bennett ...and Judith Lucy is a horrible rip-off of Dame Edna!
Saying Warrnambool how you say it is a crime
What a perfect Hughesy impression, incredible
