Daniel:
Mate Mam😂😂😂😂
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."
he looks like a bogan version of jay kay from jamiroquai lmao
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?
This video has been recommended to me for years... Never watched it. Today is the day.
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!
You guys have no health insurance in Aussieland….?
Reporter:
It's a mess isn't it?
You know you learned English when you actually understand him
Daniel:
Beyond a mess! Oohh well like, words can't explain how it is mate, like.
The reporter is HOT !!!
Reporter:
Now Daniel you've managed to put some pants on in the meantime.
Hilarious
Daniel:
Yeah mate hahah.
Is he a bogan ?
Reporter:
That's good to hear. Do you feel like a hero?
Now I don't drink tea - I drink mate (yerba maté)
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.
"Mate, all I had was me jocks on, and mate, I was chasing him up the street"! Classic stuff. What a legend Daniel is, what a champion! Love it!
