Daniel:
Ohhh well it's really quite funny I was, I was in bed sleepin' at ahhh 2'o'clock this mornin' me wife comes in and says: "Ohhh the shops been, ahhhh, someone ran into the shop!" And I said "Oooahhhh what!?"
So aahhh I jumped outta bed and all I had was me undies on and I've walked out the front and I seen ahhh the car smashed and I seen the bloke walkin' back to the car! And so I've walked outside and I said "Oahhh whatayadoin' mate!? Like, ya can't be leavin' the scene," and he goes "Don't be a hero mate," and I said "I'm not tryna be a hero, but the police are commin'," and he just decided he'd scoot up the road and I just said "Naahh it's not goin' on like that mate."
So I jumped in me car and I started chasing him up the road and then he went down a side street and then the police were commin' and I flashed them and sent them off in the direction of him, but MATE, all I had was me jocks on and I was chasin' him up the street and I'm just like "MATE, LIKE!"
Reporter: Because you told me this is your mates shop and you didn't want him to get away?
Daniel:
"Yeah, nah, nah. It's it's well it's me mates mums had this shop for like forty odd years, and ahh, look at it. Look at it!
Reporter:
It's a mess isn't it?
Daniel:
Beyond a mess! Oohh well like, words can't explain how it is mate, like.
Reporter:
Now Daniel you've managed to put some pants on in the meantime.
Daniel:
Yeah mate hahah.
Reporter:
That's good to hear. Do you feel like a hero?
Daniel:
Ohhh, well not really it's just somethin' you gotta do for the community mate. It's like you look after your mates and your mates'll always look after you.

"I am not trying to be hero, mate. I am trying to be a mate." -Mate
Wkwkwkw lmao 👌😂
Looooool
I'm trying to be a mate, mate!
dude.. I meant mate...
Remember folks, if meaningless likes on KZhead mean a lot to you, simply reword the top comment and pretend you're original.
"It's what you do for the community. You look after your mates and your mates will look after you". Never a more true statement spoke.
You are my mate now, mate
Seems like an archaic practice these days.
This man's attitude is what needs to be spread through out the rest of the world.
Diversity will see to that
This should be a common understanding and not worth mentioning. Should....
Argh ite mate

Same here, best experience in my life!
I wish I could go. I've always wondered how different I'd turned out if I grew up on more Aussie n Uk childhood exposure/influence.
@@pumpkinsparks9224 are u from USA? Cause I always wondered the same with America 😂
Mainly white country also!
What? This is so common mate, why u all laughing mate😮😮😮
When my husband was younger he moved from Germany to Australia and lived there for 8 years... He often talked about the locals there and that he had the best experience in his life during being there...a few days ago I discovered this video and shared it with him because I was laughing my ass off hearing this hilarious accent my husband was often imitating 😂 he has much love for Australia and even I've never been there I have much love for it too

After living in Australia for a year I can finally understand every word he said. Im so happy 😊
I actually can too, subtitles were on.
Even "scoot up the road " and "nah man it won't be going on like that"? 😅
I‘m from Germany - I can definitely understand him properly. It’s the Mate-Language. Every good Mate knows.🤙🏽
Nahhh you got a spelling error there: Oam so happy
@@Moritz___😂
Before the interview she was just a reporter.... now she's a mate

Never gets old. I think I watch it at least once a year
This is why we love Aussies ❤

This kind of good-hearted authenticity is what I love about Australians. Good on ya, Daniel. Mega respect from Ireland❤🎉
I love Ireland 😊
Up the Irish. From a Irish descent convict ancestors. Roman bloody Catholic too .
I'm english and i reckon Daniel would be a brilliant mate and neighbour. He's an absolute credit to himself, his community and Australia.
and his mates
Australia has it figured out, no gender pronouns problem, just call everyone mate
Exactly

The leftists will still find a way to get offended, they will also demand femate or zemate of many sorts

This is the most aussie accent I've ever heard.
“It’s just something you got to do for the community. You look after your mates and your mates will always look after you.” There it is. The key to a long and prosperous life

Mate ‘tis such an underrated comment
Imagine having this voice option in your virtual assistant and GPS devices
To him everybody's a MATE 😂
His accent is so strong that the reporter sounded American in comparison.
I'm not a native speaker and I'm more used to the American accent. His strong accent though made the reporter's accent much easier to understand lol.
I know right hahahahaha
It’s Just the average accent in Australia my friend
The reporter definitely sounds Aussie though. His accent is just so strong
It's strong and yet I'm able to understand every word.
His wife is not just a mate. She's his soulmate.
soma ulte
She is a true Sheylamate

I love this so much. I love him. I wish every neighborhood had more than a few!
I have yet to meet an Aussie I did not like. Honestly some of the best people ever.
lol same. the attitude they bring is really infectious and fun
"Look after your mates , and your mates will always look after you" I wish more people had that mindset
tyo789 this is the only way communism works
to clarify, I mean if everyone was only in their jocks looking out for each other
You mean mateset, right mate?
tyo789 a lot of people claim to have it, but just to make themselves feel better

Got to love the Aussies. ❤ from the UK
This world needs more Mates like Daniel ☺️
"You look after your mates, and your mates will look after you" - Mr. Mate (Nov 24, 2016)
It's very funny, because in Hungary, "Máté" is an existing popular man name :D
You ✖️ Youie ✔️
@@gezumachtthefox6736 Why is it funny? Curious maybe. It's a popular name in Croatia and a popular tea drink in South America. I'm sure the word exists all over the globe with different pronunciations and totally unrelated meanings.
To youie *” xD
Legit all the Australian grey nomads say that line.
This is so Australian that my dog turned into a kangaroo.
Dingo*
Ha ha
After I showed this to my friend he became my mate....😎
*emu

Gosh Australians are funny Love you Aussies 🇺🇸🇦🇺❤️
He is a good man god bless him
In Australia: Citizenship ❌ Mateizenship ✅
Idk how'd someone finds this funny?
I find it funny and so far 279 people agree w me so lighten up and stop w the negativity, it’ll do everyone some good
Its mateship? Or not🤣

“Me mates mum had this shop forty odd years” Translation: this is a historical building
Puhahaha!
I needed that laugh! Thank you
Lol!!!
Hahahah
That did not need translated
I just think all Australians are just cool AF. Their voices and slang are just so charming.
How come this video has never been in my recommendations since I've been watching KZhead ? The best interview ever !
He's not just a simple mate, he's the ultimate!
WAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHA ROFLMAODEARMATE 😂😂😂😂😂
That is a good one...I dk if it just came to you, but the only other word ending in mate I could think of was 'intimate'! :))
@@jessikatkins1173, Perhaps, I'm not the first one who came to this, but I did it myself. Also there IS one comment with the word " intimate ". You can probably find it, it must be one of the most popular ones as I remember.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
“You look after your mates and your mates will look after you” the friend we all desire.
I read this as he said it. Perfect
And he's missing his front teeth, bet he gives an amazing bro-job
You have 666 likes now :3 Clearly you have a 'special' fiery friend .
The mate we all desire
My mate borrowed a 450$ from me and I never seen him again.
I don’t care how old this video gets, this guy will always be a good guy in my book.
LEGEND!!!!! The one word to describe Daniel.
You mean Mate?
I would like to hear him have an argument with an angry irishman and a drunken scotsman.
Throw In a drunk russian and youve got a brawl.
You'd have three blokes speaking three separate alien languages. 🤣
@@JHS270694 don't forget indian accent
By the looks of his teeth. I think he’s already been in multiple altercations.
Lol I'd like to hear all em have a rap battle
The mate who caught the escaping mate and turned him into inmate.
Lol
Nice one
😂😂😂
This is good
Best one
Such a good mate.... world needs more mates like this mate...
Me playing chess with this guy: Me: "Checkmate!" Him: "Check what, mate?"
most underrated comment 😂
Hahahahaha thanks for the laugh!!

Nah I think it's mate, mate.
This is the funniest reply ever hahahahahaha
If Australians have a final form, it’s this guy.
😂💀
I see that you have the trimate for your profile pic
Lmaoooo
When u beat all the Aussies this is their final boss lmao!
Maybe they will have a pakistani accent in the future
What a great Aussie 🇦🇺 geezer greetings From England 🏴👍 To Daniel 👍

Comment of the day in KZhead
Noice.
Why didn't u say matestrong 😭
Imagine an Aussie playing chess......... Mates everywhere.
And one pawn moves You gonna check it mates
"That's check, mate" Nah mate, look. I can move my king here mate. Sure. But it's still check, mate. It's not checkmate mate. It's just check, mate.
Hahahahahaha
underated comment right here
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such a genuine dude
I have seen this before. Watching this today, and from my reading, I sense this is a person that has seen the helplessness and pain of injustice and when he sees it happening, he takes it personally.
This is the most Matest Mate in the history of Mateness
My Mate ...
Mate.
Mateception.
Wholesome matiness
Bed'n mate Fro'nt mate
“You look after your mates, and your mates will always look after you” LEGENDARY

As Swiss I say: the Aussiest (does the word even exist?😂) interview I've ever heard. Love it.❤
Cool human spirit, dear brother. Rock on, Mate. We sure need more like you. Colorado
Couldn't get more Australian unless he wrestled a crocodile mid-interview.
While surfing
if you wrestle a kangaroo maybe
While eating a koala.
Hold on, a crocky is coming at me mate
@@josey6231 yeah thats why people remember u for wrestling crocodiles.
BIG SKIDDY JOCKS 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how he uses Mate to describe the asshole who ran, his friend who owned the shop and the reporter all in the same conversation.
It's recognition both of the human at the heart of us all and the fact we can sometimes be dodgy or great.
'Mate' doesn't really mean a mate in Australia...more like 'guy' in the US or 'bloke' in the UK...
@@TraderQuant except it's not really used in the exact same way.. like you'd say mate to a stranger in the middle of a conversation not call a random dude 50 metres away from you mate to your friend
My favorite part too 🤣
Yeah, calling the reporter "mate" confused me a bit too. Im South African and we always thought when ausies used the word mate, it applied to males only. By the way, we have a similar word.. "bru".. but only applied to males.
I love the energy of this video.
This was actually very wholesome and endearing
I’m pretty sure at this point the Aussie constitution starts with “ We the mates”
Hahahaha
At this point I'm pretty sure they ain't got no constitution anymore.
Yeah it's common, like even when your angry at the pizza guy for being late you still say thanks mate
Its either that our "Listen up C***s!"

50%-60% and I’m proud haaha
@@rogueanuerz I'm Australian, I was reading along with what the subtitles for him said, and even this news channel had misinterpreted a fair amount of what he actually said haha. So honestly, good effort to understand anything!

good aussie lad well done mate. love from england.

The way he calls her "mate" is priceless.
In Sonoma County, California we call everybody "Dude", even grandma.
He wanted to "mate"
Was thinking the same
I had that once in a Costas in Kent, UK, and the other guy behind the till gave the boy such a weird look, tbh I don't care as long as they aren't rude.
She's a mate
For what he lacks in teeth, he makes up for in heart.
They descend from the British ^^ Makes perfectly sense.
@BLIND SNIPER he's speaking with tobacco in his mouth?
