What is an American / Tv thing to do...? · Anele and the Club on 947

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wake up with a bang.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, wake up! Anele and the Club on 947. This
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: is not the movies, said my child to me this weekend.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: What did you do?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Do you know those ice cream tubs, right?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Like, it's round and it's... It's family size, but it's round.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It's not big. It's not small. I was sitting this
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: weekend eating it by myself. So I literally, usually you
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: would take the ice cream out of the deep freezer
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and then take a few scoops into a bowl with
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a teaspoon and then you go sit down.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So now they found me sprawled all over the couch
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: in the lounge.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: With a tub of ice cream?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Eating out of the tub. And my son's like, what
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: are you doing? And I'm like, I'm eating ice cream.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: What does it look like I'm doing? Planting trees. And
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: then he said, this is not the movies. You can't
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: just be eating ice cream out of the tub. That
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: only happens in the movies. And I was just like,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: for an 11-year-old, that's quite an observation. Because yes, I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: did look like I was going through a breakup. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: was going to ask, because it's really tough to sit
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and eat. Did you eat the whole tub?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Because getting through a whole tub of ice cream, that's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a significant thing to get right, firstly.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Extraordinary.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Extraordinary. Because I can't imagine sitting with a Country Fresh,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a tub of Country Fresh.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That two-liter one that doubles up as a scuff tin. Yes. Yes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Like, that thing is uncomfortable. Because you see it in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the movies, always sitting eating ice cream from the container.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but also, like, when you watch it in the movies, right?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I think it's, like, a very American thing to do because, like,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: a daughter goes through a breakup and a mom's like,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: here's a tub of ice cream.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I have never done that. Like, who does that? Finish
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the tub of ice cream?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: No, who gives this?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I've never.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: My friends and I have never used a tub of
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: ice cream to get through an emotional situation.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It's a bottle of wine. She's just like amateurish.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: It's just such an American thing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So this is what I wanted to speak about this morning.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: What things are you seeing people do and you're just like,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that's just an American TV thing to do. Like, for instance,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: having an entire table full of food and then you
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: just grab an apple and you run out. That is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: not South African. I would rather be late to where
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going than leave a table full of food. We're
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: not doing that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but all of our mothers would have said... So
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: firstly with the ice cream, because now you've got your
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: spoon digging back into the ice cream tub. So even
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: if you don't finish it now, we have to eat
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: from what you've put in your mouth there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I had such a rude statement to make from that,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: but I'm already skating on thin ice with the PCCSA,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to keep quiet.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: On that one. Can I tell you what I've seen?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Because I know you've mentioned this, right? Cool drinks in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: my fridge. I mean, I think most fridges. If we
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: buy for the family, it's like a two litre.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's a two litre. We have cans.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You yourself.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: In my household, we have cans.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Like the little ones.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You saw this morning, I was drinking a can of Coca-Cola.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: That came from my fridge. I buy it as cans
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because I found that the two litre, the acid will
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: run out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It'll go flat. It goes flat, yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It goes flat, right? So the only way we can
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: ensure that everyone has a great experience of the said
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: beverage is to do it in cans.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But that is something you see in the movies.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Extremely American of me. Extremely American. 011-8838-947. What is extremely
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: American and extremely movie, but you either want to do
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it or you are currently doing it?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Right. Taking trains across the country. That, I've, Who's doing that?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Very American.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Just jumping onto trains.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Very European.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean just, you know, when you sneak
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: onto a train. In America, it always feels like people
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: are sneaking onto trains to go across state lines for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: some reason.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Or waking up to hang out with your friends before
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you guys go to work.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Who does that?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Who does that? Americans do. Every sitcom, Big Bang Theory, Friends.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So true. Living Single, all of them. They do this
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: thing where they all hang out at one apartment before
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: they go to work. No, no one's broke, but we're
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: all sharing an apartment.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Who does that in real life?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And how many, I mean, how many apartments, how many
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: flats have got six bedrooms?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: South Africa's answer to that is a commune.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Now, now we're talking.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, like house parties. Do you see that in the movies?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: At a commune.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's like a student commune.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It's extremely American. Or like buying those really big boxes
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of pizza.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, huge.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: The ones that look like they're a meter long.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was watching some show with my kids the
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: other day, and it's one from the 2000s. And there's this, like,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: these kids having adult conversation and moving in together. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: said to my child, you realize this would be like
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: you moving in with somebody now and getting married and
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: having a kid.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And still going to school. I was like, how is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this possible?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Twilight.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Twilight.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: If it's something like that, I'll think of it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: High school kids running around as adults. You're just like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? 011-8838-947. What is so American? And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's thanks to the movies. And now we're starting to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: replicate it. You're like, no, we don't do this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: We don't do it this way.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: We don't do it this way. Yeah. 084-0000-947. Talking back
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to your parents.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: We are doing that here now. It was very American.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It was very American.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's very American, and now it's found its way onto
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: our shows. But you know what's not American? A varum clap.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Send you back to America. Return to send. It's a movie.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the movies. Things that only happen on TV,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and you are finding that they are slowly creeping in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to our everyday lives. My son found me eating a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: tub of ice cream out of the ice cream tub.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And he was just like, this is very American.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Of you, ma'am.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do that. Please use a bowl because
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you've told him that. Use a bowl and then you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: dish into the bowl and that's how you eat ice cream.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Do you know which ones I'm talking about here? Oreo
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: has it. Cadbury has it. They're just like round. That
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: thing for me screams big enough for one person anyway.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's a litre of ice cream. I'm pretty sure of it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: 500 mils. No, it must be a litre. Surely.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: It can't be a litre.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I'll check it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: There's no way I ate a litre of ice cream
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: by myself.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Is there no way?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Is there no way, Anele? Is there no way? Have
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you seen yourself? 18 wheels of justice. I think the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: most TV-slash-American thing ever is people not bathing. Like, people
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: just wake up and get dressed. Like, hey!
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: What we do that's very American is my son plays
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: ice hockey.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I still can't get over the extremely American thing is
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the entire pig on the dinner table.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Yes!
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The apple in the mouth.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: When I went to university, all I wanted was a fraternity, sorority.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: That kind of thing, like with.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The parties, those big parties.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you folks remember the scene with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black where he eats out
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of a peanut butter jar. Well, that's what I do. Yum, yum.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's also not allowed.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And also, of course it was Brad Pitt. That's why
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's allowed. Sir, do you look like Brad Pitt?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Don't do it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, this is the conversation, right? So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: let's just be honest with each other. When Brad Pitt's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: doing it, it looks different on camera. Like you with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a bottle of black catnip butter. You know what I'm saying?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It looks different.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Another thing that we're doing now is drinking out of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: those red cups when you have a party.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Those red plastic cups.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the movies always, eh?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: That is incredibly American of us. And now every bottle
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: store in South Africa sells either the blue cups or
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the red cups. And every time I drink out of that,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm like in a sorority, you know, Alphabeta,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Mata Freda. Watile.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Hello, baby. How did I say your name?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Watile.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Watile.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Watile, yes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Watile. How are you?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I'm fine.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: How are you? We're great. What's such an American thing
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to do and we're doing it here?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So me and my friends, we make like very last
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: minute plans, right?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: So during exams, we'll just like say, let's go to
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: a cafe and study.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Like we went to Mug.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And Bean and we were studying. And we'll just like say, oh,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: let's go to McDonald's and like get an ice cream
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: or something. And then recently on Saturday, my friend Taslyn,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: she was like in the chat, in the group chat,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: she was like, guys, let's go watch a movie. And
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: then we went to go watch Avengers Endgame.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You just left and walked out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Very American. Yeah. No, I want to go back to the,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: let's go to a Starbucks and study. Very American. And
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: then you're like, I'm going to grab a slushy. I'm
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: going to grab a frappuccino or an iced coffee. And
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: then we'll just like go over our math homework. Very American. Yes.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Did you guys get any studying done would be the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: question I'd ask and my mom would ask me. Did
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you study?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we did.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: We studied life science and some geography.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Now that is not American.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Life sciences and geography. Geography is not American.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Geography, not American. Well, Dile, have a good day, baby girl.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Freki Sang in Alberton.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Hi, Nile.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: How are you, darling?
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I'm well, thank you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: We are fantastic. Am I saying your name correctly?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, talk to us. What is so American to do?
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: My son, he's got this thing where he'll say, Mom,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: can I please borrow $ 2? Or he'll say, I'm so tired,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I walked five miles. And I'm like, dude, we're in
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: South Africa.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: It's rands and kilometers. Come back. Please.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: His mom, can I have some dollars?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, my word. Because now the onus is you to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: calculate how much $ 2 is.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think he understands the conversion. He's convinced
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: it's just the two rands he wants. But he calls
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: it in dollars.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: How old is he?
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: He's five dollars. He's nine.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: No, he should know.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Is it watching too much YouTube?
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. The other day he said, don't forget to
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: pay for the excursion, mom. It's five dollars. Five hundred dollars.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not taking you on an excursion
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: for five hundred dollars.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: It's cool.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: For $ 500, you can sit right here. Because there was
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a time when my son was watching a lot of YouTube,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: but he was like six years old then, six, seven.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And everything was a sidewalk. I'm like, oh, walkie pavement. Exactly.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: He also said, I'm so tired. I walk like five blocks. Miles.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, one of those miles. And this is why
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it's so important for us to create our own content
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and have our own localized shows. Because there was a
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: time when the kids were like, yeah, we're by the bleachers.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, bleachers? Pavilion.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, pavilion.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? But that's because if
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you consume American content, that's like.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You start speaking like that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You start speaking like that and that's your norm. Look
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: at it with your little ones, the ones that we're
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: all watching Peppa Pig. Every child goes through a phase
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: where they've got like a bit of a British accent
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: because of Peppa Pig.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Which I find cute and hilarious.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: It's cute and hilarious when they are four. When they're seven, eight,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: it's obnoxious.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Do you have a British accent?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Who wants a child to speak like, oh,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: dear mother, here you win. Mother, come on. It's so
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: American to leave all the kids' toys and bicycles out
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: in the front lawn and not having a fence around
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the house. In my estate where I stay, we do
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: trick or treat every Halloween.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: What's very American that I do is... I smoke briskets
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and I smoke it for the American Embassy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Back to making your morning.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Back on LA and the club.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I love this show.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: On 947.
