I was thinking I think part of the problem in America is that nine hundred and one people think of nine one one is being instant response
and because
like when I was growing up in South Africa
one of my favorite TV shows to watch with
My mom was a show called Rescue Nine
One one
William Shatner
and it was like a show with their gold Nine One one to have an emergency and be like Hi
I'm in my house
and so they will and then like nine or more would get there
and I remember even when we were watching
And so it would be like
Wow
none one word and one more
And this is in Africa
and we like nine one one
and we never thought of our numbers because they started
They try to think and say whatever you called ten triple one because they try to be like
Yeah
We've also got to think people like tangible war and would like to know and because they try to go with that feeling
But we never thought of it as instant response
because if you would call our like call centers
It wouldn't be as efficient and so like
In America
I think people are used to the fact that something will get done now
so it's thinking what you should do is just to like
Go for a bit
You should bring the South African operators here
Just so that people stop thinking non one is like an instant solution because
like South African
they'll ask few questions
I get American to just go someone's getting rubbed it like we are on our way
like I heard with nine and one
even if you call them and then hang up
they'll come to check what happened
I mean I get it
but I'm also like that's crazy
whereas in South Africa
like if you like
if they called it here so that we can operate is doing nine hundred ones like you'd call
even like Hello
there's a man at the park and they'd be like hello
Can I help you?
If you like
yeah
there's a man at the park and we like and
He looks really suspicious
but like OK
go to talk to him
Ask him what he's doing
Ask him his name What is doing that?
I'm scared of talking to him
OK
walk away
then going like they would just be like you go like this
People here
just like the concept of the normal cups are not coming for everything like here
you can call number one because your cat is in a tree
There are some crazy shit in Africa that you'd just be like
Yeah
you'd be like you know my cats in a tree
I'd be like okay
If you like
I need my cat stuck in a tree they'd be like
Yeah
So what must we do
I need your help
but they'd be like
then
how will your kit lens?
Let the kids suffer
It will never do that game
Thank you for calling
please stay on so you can read this car
Thank you very much
It's funny because I never grew up singing the traditional happy birthday song
It wasn't something in my life
so my mom would either sing the Stevie Wonder
Happy birthday and then like you don't have paper
there's that one
and then there was the
and then there was another one that my mom found back
and it was like a Disney happy book
There was Donald duck's birthday and Disney made their own version
I think this wasn't one thousand nine hundred and ninety eight or something
and it was just like happy birthday
It's Donald's birthday
happy
happy Birthday to you
so she's saying that to me when I first remember birthdays
so you'd be like its trevor's birthday
happy
happy birthday to you because it's a party
a party
and then I'll be there like
yeah
I was like that's the birthday song right
so now I'm like four years old
five years old
six years old
when I start going to kindergarten and all of that
And then we get there
and then the teacher comes in like we're going to sing happy Birthday
and they turn on the lights and the candles and like everyone
sing along
And I'm a happy Chinese birthday happy
happy
but I tell you
come on happy
it's up holiday party today
pray shed
What are you doing?
It's like you're singing it wrong
and I was like
Oh
that's the birthday song and then like no trouble just clearly
It's just going to sing it to get everyone together now is like ready and happy day to you
It is the saddest song because when you
when you've saying the happy birthday song your whole life
When you grew up with like high pastes
you like that
Even today
It seems you know
if you think about it this way
if you told someone from another culture like let's say they'd never experienced happy birthday
you could think it was like like
Imagine if you didn't speak English at all
Blow out the candles
That's what it basically means you're extinguishing your life
you know
S before and in South Africa in the UK
you generally have one type of commentary
which is generally from the UK
you've got three different types of commentators that they've been using depending on what channel are you watching it on and win?
So you have British commentators sometimes
and then you have like the American commentators
and then you have
There's a commentator and I cannot tell if he's from Mexico
bits
We are Brazil up against this amazing team
that has become a very
Very long way
and we look at how they play Switzerland
Mill Trill milk chill
I mean
OK
There's Marcello coming around him
Oh
And then the Latino guys
my favorite
Yes
First of all
You're not supposed to walk into the cross walk when the red hand is on like that's just supposed to be for the people who are already on the inside
that's them like time's up
whereas I'm always like
Oh
But I feel like there will be the most embarrassing crime that you locked up and then you there
And it's like
hey
what are you informant and you like?
Yeah
transplant to America
What would it be?
Ha
what would it be?
You know
in that there was like there were many things that were done to people of color that were extremely heinous
It's painful
but we laugh about it and it's out there
whereas in America
I found there's like a lot of tension in and around that
How do we have to bring that up?
And it's like dude
I'm not saying you did slavery come down
you know what I mean
This is like I wasn't there
I'm just think slavery
but the upper now
I swear
I wasn't that dude
You thirty seven
calm down
It helps to be able to have conversations about those things
but if you can't have those conversations
How did this happen?
You know
why do so many black people live in this part of Harlem?
I don't know what do you think?
I think that would be like the one part
Don't get me wrong
You know
yeah
that was
People think it's about assigning blame
In the first place
Imagine if your dog
like you
I think I think I might have like a cancer doctor like I wasn't there
If I can
Yeah
I wasn't there
Because American chickens is like once I showed them
What is that?
Like I remember when I first saw a chicken wing in America
This is the dumbest thing you've ever heard
and you're going to judge me
I remember the first time I had a chicken wing in America is like I ordered
OK and I
I know this sounds crazy
but the reason I was intrigued because I saw it on someone else's plate
And some of those are buffalo wings
It's like a part of the buffalo that I don't know
and I was like I want to taste buffalo wings
and then I remember eating it
and it was like
what chicken is this?
What dinosaur chickens do you guys have here?
So yeah
That's all
yeah
Obviously
and for so many centuries
Africans spent their lives being told by Europeans that they were like backward and there was simple and they were primitive and all this shit they're like
Oh
and then now in Silicon Valley
people like you know
it's really really like just calming for the mind
Well
why don't you tell us more?
I didn't even small things like shoes
shoes are
They'll like you don't wear shoes
use savages and then like a few years ago
The new thing that I don't like
Because I know that some people who need it
You know now people just on a plane
And then there was an airline that came on and said
Only a matter of time before
Because I'll tell you now
I've been like on a on a taxi like in a minibus
with people carrying chickens on my way to school
As someone who comes from another country
I don't think you understand how weird it is to have a government that is always in threat of shutting down like itself like I've never come across a pay as you go governments like every three months
they threatening threatening to cut it off like you like
what do you mean?
There's not a normal life
I don't know if Congress guy
Oh
You know
I don't think Congress could get it done and everyone
That's not normal
but even when people who like why would double from send this to Congress
What what
what he?
What do you mean?
There's no other industry where we would allow that to happen
Well
That's what we've just
I guess that's life
it's like
no
it's not normal
we don't accept it
I remember when I was when I was really young
I had a car
It was a a beetle
writes the Little Folks Workin' Beetle from Volkswagen
Right
so what I'd have to do is do this too
to close them and then do this to close it?
I couldn't afford to fix them
so I was just like
yeah
this is what I do every day
and I thought it was normal and my friends treated not because we did it for like a year or two
and then one day I was on a date with a woman
And she got in the car and we drove me like
Oh
I'm really cold
And then I stopped the car straight face
got out
went to her side
open her door
And then
and then she looked like you know
Just looking at
and you know I've never looked in somebody's eyes and seen sex get erased
like immediately while I was doing this as like
Oh
This is not OK
OK
You can't accept it from Congress
like so my mom
But if kids were playing with food
she'd make me turn the movie off so that whenever it's like
I used to watch those high school movies
those American movies
And then I'll be like what
even if you like the widely wasting food that looks like it's a movie she's like
the truth
how can you waste food like that?
You know
Why are they wasting food?
