G Flip's new TikTok series explains Aussie culture staples that shock Americans
The Worst Person Alive singer, born Georgia Flipo, posted a video on Thursday explaining to viewers the iconic Aussie tradition of meat tray raffles.
'So you go to the pub, and you can buy raffle tickets to win a meat tray — and you just win a tray of various meats and sausages, and then you go home with the meat tray,' the singer explained in the video, which has already amassed more than 666,000 views.

'Everyone I've ever told that to who's American can't believe it, they're like what the f***.'
The singer explained that the first time their wife, Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, came to Australia they had attended a Darwin pub together but failed to take home the tray.
Stause was quick to comment about their attempt, saying she wants to win a tray 'even though I know it will give me meat sweats and likely food poisoning'.
Other Americans, however, weren't as sold on the idea of a meat tray.
'So, you just carry around a bunch of raw meat for the rest of the night and let it warm up in your famously hot weather?' one stumped American queried.
'As a Texan, I am SHOCKED this is a thing,' another chimed in.
Aussies were quick to defend the time-honoured tradition, with even Aussie beer legends Victoria Bitter rallying behind Down Under culture.
'A hard-earned raffle deserves a big cold meat tray,' the brand wrote, earning a like and shocked 'VB!?!' reply from G Flip.
'Winning the meat tray is like winning three million dollars,' another Aussie wrote.
Despite shocking Americans with the meat tray, the star wasn't done discussing the cultural divide — following up with a video about pen licenses on Wednesday morning.
'In Australia, when you're like eight or nine — roughly like grade three I think – you do a test to deem if you're ready to upgrade from a pencil to a pen,' the singer explained.

'You've got to make sure (your writing)'s all legible and your letters look great, and then your teacher will grade you and you'll get a certificate that says now you can use your pen — meaning you earned your pen license.
'But apparently Americans, you don't get a pen license and you're out here using pencils until you're in your teens... what?! That's a lot of sharpening,' they joked.
Americans, including the musician's wife Stause, were again quick to flood the comments of the videos shocked over the information.
'This cannot be true at all,' Stause commented about the revelation.
'A license?! You mean we're just out here using these things illegally??' a fan said.
Another American chimed in with follow-up questions for the singer: 'Can you get it revoked? Who would revoke it?'
The Drink Too Much singer is set to begin their Dream Ride tour next month, with a show at the Fremantle Arts Centre lined up for March 2026.

How ACA nearly derailed Netflix star's trial
A Territory judge has savaged a national television program for airing 'unfair' coverage on the eve of the trial of reality star Outback Wrangler Matt Wright. The Aussie reality television star has pleaded not guilty to three allegations of attempting to pervert the course of justice, following the chopper crash death of his mate and co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson three years ago. It took two hours for a jury pool of 107 Territorians to be whittled down into the final team of 12 jurors and two reservists on Tuesday. However overnight that careful selection process was put in jeopardy following the episode by A Current Affair. The segment was broadcast on A Current Affair. Credit: Supplied On Wednesday Justice Alan Blow ripped into the Channel Nine segment which he said threatened to 'abort' the high-profile celebrity trial. 'It was a piece of journalism that was aimed to suggest that Mr Wright is guilty of something — and that's not what TV journalists should be doing,' Justice Blow said. 'It's very important that Mr Wright gets a fair trial and watching that program could interfere with his right to a fair trial.' Justice Blow told the 12-person jury and two reservists that the program published a 'stale' witness list and a photo from the fatal helicopter crash site. 'This isn't a case about why the helicopter crashed,' he told the jury. 'It's not suggested that Mr Wright was responsible, in any way, for the crashing of the helicopter. 'If you watched the program, you might get the impression that he was responsible, and that he was guilty of something and that he's headed to jail for it. 'It was quite unfair and it created a danger of this trial having to be aborted.' Outback Wrangler Matt Wright and his wife Kaia Wright approaching the Supreme Court in Darwin. NewsWire/Pema Tamang Pakhrin Credit: News Corp Australia Only one juror out of the 14 members said he had watched the segment. Under questioning from Justice Blow, the juror said he would be able to remain impartial, and had not discussed the ACA show with any of his fellow jurors. Justice Blow then warned the remaining 13 Territorians to not try and access the program played on Tuesday night. 'It's an excellent example of what I told you not to do yesterday,' he said. 'Please don't try to find out about that program.' Both prosecutor Jason Gullaci and Defence senior counsel David Edwardson said they were comfortable with the current jury continuing. The trial continues.

‘Can't be true': Aussie shares huge US shock
After going viral last week on the topic of Aussies and their pub meat trays, musician G Flip has stunned yet again by revealing another huge difference between the US and Australia. The latest revelation even prompted their American wife to declare it simply 'couldn't be true'. The Aussie drummer and singer, who primarily lives in the US and uses they/them pronouns, dropped a bombshell with wife and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, educating her on the topic of the pen licence – a badge of honour for Aussie school kids. 'Today I found out Americans don't get their pen licence when they're a kid,' the GAY 4 ME singer revealed. 'So in Australia, when you're like eight or nine, you do a test to deem whether you're ready to upgrade from a pencil to a pen. 'You've got to make sure it's all legible and the letters look great, and then your teacher will grade you.' At the end of this process, students are gifted a certificate that allows them to use a pen for all writing tasks, known as a pen licence. 'But apparently, Americans, y'all don't get a pen licence and you're out here using pencils until you're in your teens,' the Disco Cowboy singer added. 'That's a lot of sharpening!' The comments section of the video was filled with stunned Americans, as well as other followers from around the world sharing they had something similar and guilty Aussies confessing to never securing their pen licence — but still using a pen anyway. Stause, who tied the knot with G Flip in 2022, was shocked by the key cultural difference between her wife's home country and her own. 'This cannot be true — you have never told me this,' Stause commented. One person said: 'I am an Australian who didn't get their pen licence. I moved schools in year 5, and the school I went to did the licence in year 4 so I missed it. 'But the school I left did it in year 5, so also missed it. I've been writing unlicensed for years and I carry that guilty secret with me every day.' 'Aussie here, NSW. I failed pen licence in year 3. Tried again in year 4 — failed! You bet I walked into year 5 with no licence but a three-pack.' 'BIC 4 COLOUR BALLPOINT PEN,' another said. One person said: 'In Ireland, we also get a pen licence, and what a moment that does be!' 'This is wildddddd,' one added. Another said: 'No … this can't be real.' 'Forgot about this. Putting it on my CV,' another commented. One said: 'We have pen licences in the UK too! We even got a special pen in our school when we passed! I kept mine until I was 25.' 'I'm an Aussie and my kids don't do it anymore! They don't hand write anything anymore, it's all on laptops and iPads,' one commented. Another said: 'Anyone else left handed and have their pen licence taken off them when they smudged the ink across the page?' 'We don't do this in Canada,' one said. One added: 'I never passed so I've had to use a pencil forever. I'm 40. So focus kids and work hard because it can affect you forever.' 'Oh wow. Never heard that before,' one remarked. One social media user commented: 'I never got my pen licence …. Don't tell anyone. It's my biggest shame.' 'As a primary school teacher, I can't tell you the joy it gives me to give a student their pen licence,' one commented. Last week, the Drink Too Much singer confused many by revealing the Australian tradition of the meat tray raffle. 'I'm an Aussie who lives in America and I have an American wife and I think one of the funniest things to explain about Australian culture is that you can win a meat tray in the pub,' they told followers. 'So you go to the pub and they hand out raffle tickets to win a meat tray. And you just win a tray of various meats and sausages. 'You go home with the meat tray. And everyone who's American that I've ever told that to is like, 'What the f***.'

A food truck created to feed a film set crew is now a full-fledged barbecue joint
Previous SlideNext Slide American$$$$ Tucked in an industrial part of Port Melbourne, Big Earle's began as a way for owner Grant Slotboom to feed the crew at his family's film set company, Illusions. Word spread and eight years later, it's a full-fledged barbecue joint known for super-sized platters, rotating sandwich specials and its annual barbecue festival, Burning Earle. Here, it's all about pork, cooked over red gum and ironbark in a repurposed Qantas jet engine compressor. The quiet standout is the pork butt, a tender shoulder cut. Find it on the Mega Tasting Plate alongside saucy, fall-off-the-bone ribs and spicy pork sausage, or go for the pork butt-loaded fries. While the venue awaits a liquor licence, you can BYO in the company of vintage signs and larger-than-life film set statues.
