[Music] Got it. Um, sweet. What are you doing right now? I am about to have tea.

So, tea is a New Zealand term for dinner, which confuses Americans because New Zealanders also drink a lot of tea.

Oh, that sounds good. Cooking?

I'm sitting on dinner, so we're in a frozen continent with frozen meat and a big hole, making what is my first dinner in Antarctica. Tea! And it's tea!

It's all in the context. If someone says, "I'm putting tea on" while they're opening a packet of mints, either they're making you a horrible cup of tea or they're making you an evening meal.

Um, I think if you just said, "I'm going to make tea," that would be evening meal. If you said you were going to make a cup of tea, you would say, "I'm going to make a cup of tea."

Yeah, because you're not going to have your evening meal out of a cup.

What if you make soup? It's never been a problem.

So, and if I only got a cup of soup for tea, I'd be pretty hungry! I don't know what he's talking about.

If I had a cup of soup for my evening meal, if you had a cup of soup for tea, you'd be upset.

If I had a cup of soup for tea, I'd be confused, 'cause I don't know what you're talking about.

I thought I was actually pretty excited that we were going to have tea! I was like, "Oh, that'll be nice, this hot water!"

You make... What, tap? Exactly.

I was wrong.
