So the reason they started laughing right of the bat was because he was the quintessential Kiwi (New Zealander) in Australia from the very first. Pretty sure he is Maori but he might be Samoan but the slang that he used and Carl was referencing was Kiwi all the way through. So it says "Aussie hero" because he lives in Australia but he is nothing but pure Kiwi.

[@alexradojkovic9671]

Yeah... his accent gave the game away, straight away.

[@terben7339]

I don't think Samoans say Hangi. They use a different word, Umu, for their hot rock feasts.

[@drfill9210]

Yeah, they recognised him as a kiwi and called him "bro" then everyone lost it

[@bodybalanceU2]

well we know he supports the chiefs so hes from the kingdom of Maoridom

Aussies and Kiwis are like siblings. A bit of rivalry, plenty of good-natured teasing and a lot of love.

[@kerra3699]

Good comment.

[@styks5960]

Only thing that will unite an Aussie and Kiwi is our hate of the poms in sports

[@sadchimp8567]

Being an Aussie there’s one thing that I’ve always respected the Māoris for and that’s being warriors. They bring knives to gunfights and still kick ass. They’re tough but also have a lot of heart and are a proud people

[@discrete1163]

Us Aussies are warriors to, look at the history of the wars we have been in.

[@Scooterboi60]

This guy’s a New Zealander which is why “robbing” sounded like “rubbing”

[@nicholascharles9625]

It's also why they laugh and karl calls him bro.

[@DADA-ir6kq]

"i started giving him life advice i guess" f'ing brilliant

[@GreenDistantStar]

One reason Aussies love Kiwis is we think they're very laid back. "Too many weights, not enough speed." is a reference to a line in a NZ movie: Once Were Warriors. It's a very serious piece of work, heavy going at times.

[@michealbohmer2871]

Great movie.

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

He should've played the clip that came up in his search. Yep Great movie. Full on, but it sure tells a story!

[@KellboRose]

Yeah amazing movie but definitely a tough watch. Very emotional

[@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307]

Whi isnrnt he in Neu Zooland?

[@nicholascharles9625]

That movie took something from me I'll never get back. I watched it one time and never again. Once we're warriors? Once too many for my soul can't unwatch that shit but every older Maori hates it even more because they don't like it but for many its a fucking autobiography. Super fucked in context that karl joked about that line.

[@Teagirl009]

Haha love that guy, legend and a great sense of kiwi humour.

[@citrinedragon1466]

Kiwi is NZer… or an almost blind nocturnal insectivorous bird… in this case he’s a kiwi lol… We used to say aussies swallow vowels after they start to say them and kiwis swallow them BEFORE they start talking… they’re two of the hardest accents to copy credibly. That attitude of “just jump in and do it” is fairly typical too… but then in many ways kiwis are like a mysterious mix of Aussie and islander… at each extreme they’re either scary as hell, or so dorkily adorable and sweet

[@davidunwin7868]

He's a Kiwi living in Australia. His accent is pure Maori Kiwi. They can come and live and work here without a visa. They just don't qualify for government benefits.

[@louisekindred0059]

What a great, lay back attitude. However he was on the ball and gutsy. It could have been a far worse outcome so kudos to him. BTW Ryan if you ask a kiwi the time. They don't say six o'clock ...it comes out sex o'clock 😂

[@riseofasinkingwarrior490]

Gotta love kiwis. Worked with one back when doing trolley pushing at Coles. Fun and easy to talk with. He also worked as an apprentice barber near EB games, so I'd always see if he was working that day and show him my latest buy.

[@davidmcclurg8336]

Hi Ryan, love your work. Please have a look at Marty monster and rags the kangaroo. Another cartoon show like Agro on a Saturday morning here in OZ. This will give you an appreciation of how big and strong kangaroos really are and it’s funny....cheers

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

Good suggestion👍👍 Funny AF🤣

[@Rigbycat123]

Guys a Māori A Māori friend of mine said to pronounce it properly, say the word mouldy but leave out the D! Their accent always is quite sing song like they’re asking a question at the end of each sentence as the inflection goes up!

[@kwerk2011]

Nah, leave the D in, but not a "hard" D. Sort of a "lazy" D, where your tongue barely brushes the roof of your mouth. It's the nearest you can simulate the difficult "rolling the R" which is what's required for correct pronunciation.

[@Rigbycat123]

@@kwerk2011 love the visual your giving me 😂 It’s like the ‘pervy’ pronunciation haha Anyway because I said ‘mowwww-reee’ Then killed it with my pronunciation of Aotearoa! 😆 She just begged me to shut up! Hahaha

[@sanarahharanas4493]

I've been told by my international friends that Kiwi and Aussies sound the same. But for us it's immediately obvious he's Kiwi by the first word and it's funny. I can't explain why but being able to tell where someone is from so quickly is hilarious.

Awww man, i was hoping you'd watch the clip of Jake the Muss!

[@XxShade_FrostxX]

Need to watch. Aussies. Interview. Ever. What a legend. Very funny.

[@Ishlacorrin]

"Too many weights not enough speed", it's a Gym reference for people who lift but forget leg day so they can't run fast.

[@timothyconnolly6910]

It’s a line from the famous Kiwi movie Once Were Warriors. Jake says it after he flogs a jacked up bloke in the pub.

They're friendly laughing at his KIWI / Mouri accent. PLUS Carl and Allie have a great sense of humor. It's morning TV. Light hearted

[@ataimd]

He's not from Australia....he's a New Zealander that's moved there! They're laughing because of his accent and the too many weights not enough speed is a quote from a famous NZ movie called Once were Warriors.

[@davidmclauchlan8261]

Lived in NZ many years ago Moari,s are awesome chilled people

[@teresapatterson1253]

Ryan you may not know but it is illegal to carry a knife in Australia. Kitchen knives etc can not be purchased by someone under 18 by federal law.

[@dingodancer]

That is not quite correct. There are many situations one can legally carry a knife in Australia. In Queensland one has to be 18 to legally purchase a knife. In NSW it's 16. Laws relevant to purchase and possession of knives in Australia are State based.

[@JohnHollands]

The guys advice “why you hanging out with dropkicks…” is rhyming slang, ‘dropkick and punt’ - football term, but rhymes with a bad swear word starting with C.

[@ALITISA78]

The movie refrence made was from an iconic movie thats from NZ as is he. "Once were warriors"
