I've always enjoyed the quote "In Australia, we couldn't decide if we should build homes for the heat, or for the cold. So we did neither"

It's always so awkward to walk outside wearing my scarf, beanie, and jacket, and there is some dude who is walking around in shorts.

"You've grown up with it!" "Yeah, and it catches me by surprise every time!!" Never heard more truer words spoken. Living in Ballarat is like moving to the US for summer and the Antarctic for winter.

“What do you go to work for if you cant even use that money for basic warmth” is a questionable many Australians are asking themselves in 2024.

My sister lives in Finland, where winter temperatures routinely get to -40 and they experience literal months of no sunlight. When she comes visiting Melbourne in winter, she says she can't stand how cold it gets here. We really need to reevaluate our building standards when Finland's beating us out on a comfortable winter experience.

I'm not sure what's less likely. Jaxon going to work or Jaxon making a spreadsheet.

The cooked part is that the inside of your home is perpetually the same temperature as outside. Like at night when it gets to 5 or 6 degrees, inside it's 7 or 8 degrees because our houses are built to the same thermal efficiency standards as a bus shelter.

As an Australian I can confirm that 10 degrees feels bloody cold.

Sometimes it gets SO cold in Brisbane I have to put a long sleeve t-shirt on. Ridiculous.

Why does this just sound like a genuine argument that turned in to a skit

As an Australian who currently has 5 blankets on their bed, very true 😭

0:40 "Everyone's off in Europe enjoying the sun" **Cries in Dublin's rainy 12° splendour **

I don't know what that top rug is but i swear every australian house had one of those installed in their closet when they were first built.

It really does catch you by surprise every time, every winter I’m like “this must be the coldest winter we’ve ever had” and it’s literally exactly the same as every winter since I was born

Fun fact: Previously, companies extracting and selling gas from Australia were required to save a minimum of 10% for the Australian market. For whatever reason within the past few years, this requirement is no longer in place, meaning us Aussies have to compete with the rest of the world's market for our own gas. :)

Unfortunately due to the lack of insulation standards, homes in Aus are terribly inefficient for both heating and cooling. All new homes should be made to be passive, so there is 0 need for air-con or heating. The house will be a constant temperate all year-round without having to do anything.

Housing in Australia is truly embarrassing. Can't even standardise basic double glazing. That shit has been mandatory in Europe for the last several decades.

"It catches me by surprise everytime" Growing up in Rajasthan and experiencing 45°C to 50°C and 0°C to 5°C, it definitely catches me by surprise.

as an australian with 3 blankets on rn + wearing a hoodie + shirt this is accurate.

In Australia if it’s under 20 degrees it’s officially cold.

Darcy as the cat is another level. Amazed of his acting skills!

Love this. So real in Australia. I can't afford the electricity bill either. What a laugh. I am in bed with hot water bottle it's freezing out. Yeah it was 15° today.

It is 16 degrees here in the UK summer. When the temperature raises above 25 everyone thinks they’re going to die

God, I remember living in share-houses with people like this. You turn on the fin heater and there's _unlimited screeching_ about the power bill, and then come the weekend and everyone's off to the bloody night clubs for $18 margaritas

I come from Africa and 10 Celsius is indeed FREEZING!

can confirm these freaks will be like "its a bit warm out" and its like 40 degrees

It's getting down to 8C tonight in my part of Queensland. I just hope I can survive to see tomorrow.

I'm in QLD and can barely stand 18 degree weather. Forget Europe. I couldn't even withstand the cold in Melbourne or Tasmania lol.

"You got sand for brain??" Nice one I'm gonna start using that

Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia here.... I have a wood fire to heat my house.. 2nite as I type this there is snow from Tasmania to the Queensland border... I'm only a couple of hours away from the snowfields (Thredbo, Perisher, etc) so we are getting the freezing southerly and westerly winds from the snow as they have blizzard conditions. We also have snow and sleet falling but not sitting on the ground for long. Just after 4pm my kitchen window inside the glass temperature gauge was 5 degrees celcius (usually the warmest time of the day in winter), my dining room was 10 degrees celcius and 8 foot from the wood fire it was 13 degrees celcius...in order to not freeze and because of chronic health challenges I sleep in the loungeroom and get up every 2 hours to check the fire. 15 degrees is a beautiful day maximum temperature in winter for my area... In summer we can get up to almost 45 degrees celcius (especially during the droughts and bushfire season). we normally get the summer afternoon "sea breeze" as we are close to the south coast as well. The fog rolls in over the mountains, from the east, and drops the temperature upto 15 degrees in 10 minutes.. I'm not complaining about the weather, I just hibernate in winter instead. It's funny to see some people who have different average temperatures and how they cope.. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot

0:40 Loved the 'Everyone's off in Europe' callback to When All Your Friends Are Overseas

Don't bother going to Queensland it's 15 degrees here too. I'm sitting here in a hoodie and tracky dacks underneath a wearable blanket underneath a doona and I'm still fucking freezing.

"and it catches me by suprise everytime" could not be more true every single year i forget how cold it gets here and start shivering about it

15° is warm in the UK 😂

In Prince George BC, we had it get up to 45C, then winter hit and it would drop to -45C. The roads just love the extreme temperature changes

South African here, we get -5 to 15 degree weather in winter every year, the issue that my UK friends don't understand is that there is no escape. We don't have internal heating or good insulation in most of our houses because we only would need it for 2 months.

As someone that lives in Queensland, can confirm that the average winter day here is about 24°C (~75°F)

"I got three fucking blankets on and I'm still freezing my dick off!" This is what sub 10 degree weather feels like here.

I legit forgot it was winter down under. Still blows my mind sitting in the 90degree sun.

The feeling of cold depends on what you are used to. I used to work with a woman in Sydney who grew up in Russia but moved to Australia in the 1970s. If the temperature dropped to below 16°C she would turn up to work in a heavy coat, a big woolen scarf, gloves and a woolen beanie, complaining about how cold it was. When I asked how cold it would get where she was from, she replied "Oh, about minus 30 or 40 or something like that."

dude it was 14° yesterday 🥶 only australians know the feeling

as an australian going through winter right now, im pretty fuckin cold

I'm with Jaxon on this one. No need to waste money or energy when you can just bundle up with blankets

”I’ve run the numbers I can’t afford to turn on the heater” .. Goes to casino 😂

Theres always one who's wearing a tshirt and shorts saying its not cold, then theres the one who's over exaggeratingly cold 👍

Had someone move from norway to perth yesterday and it was the same temperature as their summer....

Darcy's acting as the ambient air temperature of 15C has me absolutely gobsmacked and quaking in my skin. Absolutely breathtaking!

I love you boys all the way from lil ol’ Kansas in America. You guys make me laugh in ways other just can’t. Love it.

I’m down in Tassie, and last week broke records of coldness. No days got to 10C during the day, and every night was negative 2-5C.

As a Melbournian I feel this immensely

So true about the casino. For me, as a European, most Aussie houses look really fancy, with genuine wooden furniture, pools etc. And then I tell the owners that they should get windows with double glass and they tell me that it's too expensive 🤔🤔 yeaaah, it's not like you would save on electricity this way every single year, is it? 😂

Hot water bottle under the blankets for the win😬 I used to walk around Kharkiv in tshirt and jeans in 5C, I went through -40… but when I am home in Aus 15C and it’s cold and I’m all rugged up… go figure 🤯

Australian Cold War 😁

I think i might be one of the only australians who was blessed with jot feeling the cold. Its 12° celcius, my nonnas telling me to sit infront of the heater, my nonnos telling me to „put more clothes on”. I do not feel a thing, i thought it was like 20°. I guess as a swimmer, all the winter walking out of the swimming pool to the car has made me immune. BUT on the flip side, i will wear a hoodie on 30 degree days, i do know how i dont have frost bite and heat stroke, because i will feel the heat, and not take it off. 😂

darcys role playing the blanket was so good

Darcy’s acting as the blanket was insanely good

One of my friends lives in Queensland, keeps his windows and doors open to then complain about how cold it is druing winter

Definitely true. I unironically consider 15° a summer's day. Because I'm English. 😅

Darcy’s peak performance here, I truly loved how he played the part of the savage winds of Australia!

Had an Exchange deal with my buddy from Brisbane. He comes to Canada in February at -20 for two weeks and then I go down there at 35 for three weeks. He Survived. Loved Snowmobiling and Sledding....absolutely HATED down hill skiing lol! The second he started to ski, he would freak out and drop his ass in the snow and end up in the fence. I asked him "You where skiing why did you bail?" He said "I was OUT OF CONTROL!!!" Me "You need to slide to ski" We did NOT do THAT again. We where on the Bunny hill BTW where 3 year old's learn to ski at the time.

Darcy's acting as the sun was insanely good.

I’ve been to Melbourne recently from Sydney, first time there during winter. The weather is great

this is one of my faviroute videos in a while, very relatable

i recommend a hot tea and a walk in the sun lmao, warms me right up! :3

I’m from Kuwait. At the moment I am writing this the temp is 45 C with an expected heatwave that will go past 50 C. Our winter has an average of 30 C (which we consider is a beautiful day) and if it gets really cold the lowest is like 19 C. What I wouldn’t give to be in winter right now😞

I have that exact same orange blanket

Every time I watch your videos I am reminded that the earth is in fact not flat. Thank you for that. It brings me comfort. Up in the frozen north of Canada it is a 35C right now - and in the winter it gets down to -35C, to keep everything nice and balanced.

love the throwback to the everyone’s-in-europe skit 😅 cheers from oslo, where we’re enjoying a balmy 17C summer just now 🥲

Non-Australians don’t understand how cold it is here fr 😔

Canada is weird. Here, it will go from -30 to +30 in a month.

This entire skit is so scarily relatable. I sleep under three blankets a sheet and two doona's and it's heavy as F. But I'd rather save the money. Hitting the Cas in the cold is brave, that place is freezing as F! I wish Perth, didn't have winter, it's hot as F in summer then bam, June comes around and suddenly it's a freaking arctic zone, freaking penguins might as well move in it is soo damn cold!

Nice interior details, I’ve always wanted to make a modern yacht like this

Darcy's commitment to acting as the blanket was perfection

I visited Australia a month ago from Scotland, and Lachlan is my reaction exactly😂

Every time it dips under 20 up here in Brisbane people put on what I call the "QLD Winter Uniform", which is a beanie (XXXX, Broncos or Maroons), a polar fleece hoodie (almost universally of an NRL team), a pair of shorts, and thongs. It's like our legs refuse to believe its winter.

As an Aussie, this is 100% factual information

In QLD, winter lasts like 3 weeks and then goes back to normal

“You’ve grown up with it!” “Yeah and it catches me by surprise every single time!!!” Me too bud, me too! 😂😂😂😂

It does catch me by surprise everytime. I hate winter. And heck no will i use a heater, damn the lectricity bills.

In the places in the world that have winters that get down to -20*C or lower, they certainly don't get those temperatures inside their house. In an Australian winter, the inside of the house can be almost as cold as the outside. We really need better building standards.

Literally Cyprus. Those who know, know.

More of the cat please

Hilarious. These are super fun. Thanks guys.

Turning the heating on is kind of a luxury now.

Darcy's acting as the cold was impeccable.

It be going to hot to cold so fast 😭

I'm cry laughing haha. It has been 15 degrees for several days here in Belgium and it's peak summer.

We have that same iconic orange/brown blanket.

I was kicking up frost this morning a crazy 3 degrees

Adelaide resident here anything below 18°C is too cold

As a Victorian, it was 6 degrees at 6pm the other day. In the middle of the night, it reached 2. But it can actually be quite sudden to go from 14 during the day to 6 at night.

Nah this is so true, Aussie in the UK, back home I'm wearing double jackets at 15, over here I don't even consider doubling up until it reaches around 5, and that's with some caveats like If I'm not moving about. The other problem though is that I find Aussie heat manageable, the homes being built more for it, but in the UK, 25 feels like a death sentence when you have double glazed windows and thick walls.

I think I might be an exchange baby from Australia, because I'm the same way with winters on the southern East Coast of America. As soon as it drops below 72 degrees, I dress like an eskimo.

Loved Darcy as the cat

😂 that’s me right now in QLD.. though I have succumbed to turning the grill on tonight as I don’t even own a heater😂

Me and my New York homies wearing shorts and sweaters in the winter: 😤🥶🥶🥶😤

This is why I go to work. To stay warm

My house use to be freezing in winter and an oven in summer but since i put an insulator type stuff on my lounge room floor now my house is much more comfortable in both seasons. Also fun tip use a sherpa blanket they are the best.

Ah yes, another classic episode of the Fairbairns cosplaying as the poors :D

I've heard people say that Winter in Australia does actually feel colder though than in places like Canada because our houses aren't that well insulated.
