hi we're basically britt and today we are joined with dianne jenkins
we have joined with guy jenkins
what's the worst nickname you ever get diddly die oh sorry but no immediately no so what are we
chatting about today joel so today we're talking about things that brits do that make americans go
what and we thought we could run these past you and just see do they apply to ireland what do
we think in general do we think it's odd do we think americans should adopt the things that
we do or just like just a general chit chat okay so you're like the prince yeah the americans and
the european irish person we've got everyone here the meeting table because as we all know
ireland is not in britain no do you feel like you had to say that quite a few times
every time like if there's always somebody in comments and you're like it's a republic
you're gonna have to do an faq video aren't you we've got too many things it's
great britain britain the uk and then you've got england northern ireland northern ireland
confuses people yeah yeah so the first thing that it says in this article on buzzfeed about
things that make americans go what yeah is the idea of washing machines in kitchens
do you have washing machines in kitchens in ireland yeah yes totally a thing yeah it's
so handy because i'm like all the dirty things are in the kitchen the plates yeah the clothes
so positive of you yeah i'm just like oh we don't have enough space
you're not privileged enough to have the space and they're going to have much bigger houses yeah
yeah so they can afford to put it in a separate laundry room which is goals close the door a bit
so you can't get a sound yeah true true to be fair i think anybody would have separate room
for everything if they could like you probably this is the room that my luggage lives in yeah
yeah does chewie have his own room he has like five fingerprints but he sleeps on my bed
i love that so the next thing we've spoken about this in an earlier video when we tried boston
baked beans oh yeah they think that beans is a bit weird for breakfast oh yeah do the irish we
have different beans in ireland and britain than they have in america america they have sweeter
sauce on the beans yeah it doesn't make sense so then whereas ours is more just a bit more savoury
but then the reason that doesn't make sense is because american a classic american breakfast
in my head is sweet it's pancakes yeah american breakfast breakfasts are so good i'm sorry but
there's nothing better than crispy bacon from america when it's perfectly crispy i mean you
come back to the uk you order a bacon bath or a bacon roll or whatever you call it there's
a million different words for bacon and bread here depending on where you live and massage
and like the bacon's all floppy and fatty and you can see the white fat that hasn't been crisped up
and it's just so sad it is and you're like come on guys you need to learn a lesson from america
on how to speak bacon i would say what i forget you don't like soggy bacon
chocolate in the face honestly get out of here
what do you think to the american snappy like crispy rashes well to be honest overall this
is like my great life's emotional conflict because yeah are hella cute yeah really smart but bacon is
so good i know so you want to be a vegetarian but then you're also like it tastes yummy yeah oh okay
i didn't know you're a flexitarian actually i'm not i'm not gonna eat anything in this
so do you have this it's another weird thing a dessert spotted dick spotted dick i forgot
that existed yeah oh it's delicious spotted dick a lovely big slice of spotted thing yeah
i think i may have heard of it in comics when i was a little kid
okay but we do not have it and it is quite funny
you don't have spotted dude at all it's like i think you know the way we
when american people say funny and we're like oh yeah
because it means a different thing in britain and ireland yeah and that's how we feel about
your spot i mean it smells like cake raisins custard i mean it does sound like an sti i mean
you know what i'm going to show you here and we'll flash an image on the screen spotted dick is
it's nice it's just like a sponge cake and you can add custard why would you call it
that can't wait for our editors to get the stronger put a massive dick on the screen
but yes the spotted dick is really nice it is i think it comes from spotted richard i think
that's what it's called initially yeah the more time do you say funnier spotty
so did you have mr blobby growing up we did yeah we got a lot of british tv yeah
um to be there well apparently americans find mr blobby being like terrifying and again here's a
photo of mr blobby and looking at it it is like oh my gosh she is terrifying also not
helped by the fact that he was on the tv show by jimmy sample oh guys i haven't watched the jimmy
savile netflix show yet the documentary you've watched it there's nothing new in it really it's
just info we all know that you're like yeah i'll give you an hour literally yeah yeah
okay wow but yeah okay so the next one this is news to me and as someone who's done
the american stuff for a long time we all have yeah i feel like there's cheers
is like your initiation lovely how are you um yes we've done this for a long time and
there's rarely something we stumble across that we don't already know but i did not know this
oh god okay americans find it strange that we bricks have washing up bowls
because they will just fill up their sink yeah with water and wash the dishes
like that but we have a sink and then a bowl in the sink a basin a basin i'd
call the whole thing a basin and then a bowl like the plastic thing that lives inside what
why do americans not do that i don't know this just says so someone has tweeted an american
saying someone asked me this why do british people put a plastic tub in the kitchen sink
just save water yeah i think americans are like why would i make my sink smaller by
just imagine the size of a spotted dick in america oh shut up you're killing me off hold on vibrate
we should have done that we should have pranked her by having a game between us
to see how many times like we could say something like yeah
yeah that would have been such a good video i know we should have done it and yet you didn't no we
didn't next time next time and said like this thing exists in england and it doesn't and then
we're just going with it yeah we're like spotted here spotting city if we ever get the culture
channels on tour thing happening i think we should do that to someone that would be bullying in a way
maybe but we know no we can each have our thing so if we meet laurence from lost in the pond and
another person in our community of channels yeah and we could have a prank where like i mention
spotted dick as many times as possible without him noticing you have another thing you haven't and
just see if he picks up on anything it's like why did are you obsessed with spotted things
i was like oh you're not trying to spot in [ __ ] oh gosh that's amazing it's amazing
here's another one this says that americans are confused by
our greatest invention yeah wine on a train you know wine from a supermarket that has a
seal on the top and you just peel it like a yogurt and start seeing that in mms not
steaming yes i'm surprised you don't have that in ireland yeah they're big dreams they do
this is a horrible steroid
okay i'm surprised that you haven't spotted these everywhere or not never
why i would have thought that was like a dessert like jelly or something
oh my god jello really not living up to the stereotype right now why would you do that
obviously you can drink wine on a tree just so you can have one glass i think it's on a train
roll on a train yeah or convenience stores where's the train well we call it train wine yeah because
you you normally get it in the train stations where it's on the trolley and you can just grab
a glass and then it's all sealed and you just peel it back like i said like a yogurt and then you
just it's there and then you chuck the glass yeah and they refrigerate that as well so it was meant
to come cold i'm not saying it doesn't exist in ireland i just haven't personally seen it
okay understood irish girl tries train wine for the first time there you go
talking the juicy ones do you guys have orange juice with juicy bits yeah juicy bits
yeah hot orange juicy beef we don't know what's up
what's your breakfast well they're saying this person says my favorite thing about england is
the fact that the word pulp doesn't exist oh we've just stumbled upon a thing irish people we call it
pulp americans and irish people call it oh yeah you call it [ __ ] yeah do you want the smooth
pip some bits do you want yeah the orange smooth orange juice of the one with this
and i'll be like orange juice no bits please yeah it's like grits but [ __ ]
yeah no juicy [ __ ] well we might go oh do you like with or without pulp what anybody do you
know do you want to throw it down yeah really or is it you go i don't like it when it's bitty
look i miss photo orange no bits orange bits so americans are like that's done cute
and the final one and again i didn't know this that america doesn't have a word
for fortnight and not the not the game no the game fortnight that like 12 year old boys love
and women and men and anyone that loves games knows quality yeah so fortnite
is in every two minutes yeah so what did they say apparently this interaction says
wait you don't use the word fortnite in america yeah and then someone said wait
what what do they use and then someone said they just don't have a word for two weeks they just say
two weeks but we say fortnight yeah so uh the cleaner comes every fortnight is that right
is that the red drum that is correct there you go do you know what um i would guess it makes
one thing that i find confusing is when people say okay i'll meet you at midday and i'm like
what time how do you how do you not know what that is that's literally twenty days
i'm like do you mean one or twelve i really i get up really late so that's just more me time for me
so the way i remember it being a visual learner is middle of the clock it's midday so when that clock
is like well do you know what midnight is yeah well then it's the opposite of that oh my gosh
you're so condescending i love it you're like do you know do you know what midnight is denise
that would be the other prank well i just like keep calling her to me
i would need to clarify like yeah i go they probably mean 12. yeah but can i just to be so 12.
yeah okay yeah yeah midday we've all got our own things leah can't tell her left and right no can't
for the life of me i know 29 yeah 29 years old it is directional dyspraxia i've self-diagnosed
a quiz online and i've found a community of other people like myself so thank you to do
with the fact that you're have you worked you were in theater no no no okay no i was gonna stay right
yeah that's even harder yeah yeah that's even you need to go stage left and i'm like by workout
work out human left and right then do the opposite that stage
yeah wow that's too much for me that's why she can't do this again i don't have to be tv
i can't drive oh you're
did you joking a car park with this flap by the way with this apartment was there a car
parking space because with the train trucks i did consider driving to london asking you to park here
just think of all these stories i've made up in my head i have no idea that i had planned to park
yeah i didn't do it and did you guys think of scenarios like what if she's a [ __ ] no no not
