1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: One of my favorite comedians is Australian Monte Franklin. He

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: has taken America by storm. He's about to do his

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah Nah show back here in Australia. Here is some

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: of Monty in the States.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 3: Do you know in America they do not sing hip

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: Hip hooray at the end of Happy Birthday? Did you

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 3: know we were the only people who did that? Do

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: you know how embarrassing it is? I was at a

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: table of people I didn't even know that well and

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: they finished Happy Birthday.

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: And I just go hip.

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: One of them goes, what'd you do that for?

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: In Australia.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: One person yells out hip hip and then everyone yells hooray,

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: and we do that three times, and they went why

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: do you do that? And I went, I don't.

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 4: I think we beat the wrong bit of that word

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: there kept and left the rest.

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: What was that?

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: He was out of good? This guy?

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: I love that, though it never occurred to me that

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: we're the only people that do that.

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: Isn't it so strange? I was in Zurich and they

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: do a different thing. They go like hurglely hurgly blah,

26
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: like they've got a different thing. But I've done the

27
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: hip hop like in America, like full on in front

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: of people I didn't know, and they're all just staring

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: at me, and I'm like, oh, that doesn't usually happen.

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: Happy birthday goes to forty five minutes't do that? And

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: then someone goes, why what was he born? So like

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: it's a whole song and dance.

33
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: And that's it. Because Jim y Raie here his brother.

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: What does he do he he.

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so he'll go hip and we're hooray, hip hooray,

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 4: and then everyone's expecting the third one.

37
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: Then he just doesn't do.

38
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: It because he just wants to tease.

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

40
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I like him, because you're the band. When you start

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: the hip hip, it's like those people that yell out

42
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: o oh yeah you You've suddenly become your own band leader.

43
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: But there's a hierarchy to who can initiate hipip. Isn't

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: it true if you have to be close to whoever's

45
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: birthday it is. If you don't know the person, you

46
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: can't jump in with the hip hip. That's not your role.

47
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: But I did that in America because I I panicked

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: there was too much time in between when Happy Birthday

49
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: finished and when hip hop should have started. So I

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: looked around the table I went, I'm going for it,

51
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: and then I just looked like an insane.

52
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: What are some of the other things that particularly Americans

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: find extraordinary about us that we're not even aware we're

54
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: the only.

55
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: Ones that do well? You know, in America they don't

56
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: have Christmas bond bonds, and that just means they don't

57
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: have Christmas hats. So this is a very normal thing

58
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: for us at the Christmas table. But the funny thing

59
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: is I brought an American girlfriend over years ago for

60
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: her first Australian Christmas. Imagine what she must have thought,

61
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: having never seen this tradition before in her life, and

62
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: no one says anything about it. Everyone just quietly puts

63
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: on their paper crowns and starts eating food. And she's

64
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: looking around, going what is wrong with these lunatics multi

65
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: colored paper mache crowns, And everyone yells at someone who

66
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: doesn't put their hat on, like, Gary, put your hat on,

67
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: You're embarrassing the American girl, and then tell us the joke.

68
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 3: And I want to see the talk. I'm an adult

69
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: and I want to see what toy you got in

70
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: your thing. But that's such common, so common for us

71
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: it is, well they do it in England, it must

72
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: be a Commonwealth thing.

73
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: And with you now bringing your show to Australia, how

74
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: do you make that material work back for Australians?

75
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 3: But that only works for Australians. I can't talk about

76
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: that stuff in America because they don't know about it.

77
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: But are you able to say to them, here's another

78
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: way we're weird.

79
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love coming back to Australia and pointing out,

80
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: did you know the rest of the world we don't

81
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: do this. Do you want to know something funny I

82
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: did the other day. So I was at a place

83
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: called Mammoth Mountain in California and there was all these

84
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: people crowded around a cave area and I said to

85
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: a going, oh, what's going on in there? And he

86
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: looked at me and went, oh, there's a bear in there.

87
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: Now you know exactly what I said to him. I'm

88
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: a grown man. I looked him in the face and

89
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: I went and a chair as well, and he just

90
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: stared at me because they don't know what that means.

91
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: And I look like an insane person on the mountain

92
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: and he's like, what kind of terrible detective does he think?

93
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: I am a weird mob.

94
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I was talking to a German friend of mine and

95
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: when she came over here, I said, what do you

96
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: find about Australian And she said, you never follow through

97
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: with anything. If you say let's catch up and have

98
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: a barbecue, they mean the Germans believe that, okay, and

99
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: they die.

100
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: And so efficient.

101
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that barbecue on the twelfth, when is this happening?

102
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Or if you say why don't you stay with us

103
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: when you come over you never mean it? And then

104
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: this stranger looks you up and expects to stay your.

105
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: Haup there with their bags and you're like, what are

106
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: you doing?

107
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

108
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 3: I just said that to be nice.

109
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: There's no more Australian term than yeah. Nah. That's a

110
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: perfect name for your tour.

111
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: Isn't it great telling them people from overseas that yearna

112
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: means no and yeah means yes. It's very confusing, but

113
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 3: I called it the yearna, which is no, which it

114
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: should it should be more positive, but that rolls off

115
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: the tongue better. Yeah nah, And that said more. I

116
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: would say that nah, Yeah, Like yeah, I love it.

117
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: I love the year nah. Yeah, and it's just whatever

118
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 3: you finish on is well. You can actually just string

119
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: a bunch together. Like if someone said to you, are

120
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: you are you coming? You're not bailing on the on

121
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: the trip this weekend, You're like, Noah.

122
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you've chured with some big nabs. You. I

123
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: didn't realize that you are you open for Joe Rogan?

124
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

125
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's that like? Because I look at Joe rang

126
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: because I remember him when he was on that show Broadcast.

127
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: News Radio, News Radio, and then you.

128
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: Did that Fear Factor show and then I always like

129
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: listen to his podcast and he just sort of makes

130
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: up a lot of stuff. But I saw that I

131
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: saw a little bits of the Trump interview thing. Yeah. Yeah,

132
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: It's quite interesting how he just gets things out of people.

133
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: He's he's one of the loveliest people have ever met,

134
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: very down to earth guy, loves comedians. He's been a

135
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: very great mentor and a friend to me. So when

136
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: I opened for him. He does stadiums. We did the

137
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: United Center in Chicago, which is where the Chicago Bulls played,

138
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: So our green room was the Chicago Bulls locker room

139
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 3: and it was me, him and Andrew Santino sitting next

140
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: to Michael Jordan's in boss locker that's there, and we're

141
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: to sit there, go what are we doing? There's twenty

142
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: thousand people out there listening to our silly jokes and

143
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: we're sitting next to Michael Jordan's locker. So these are

144
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: some of the crazy things that you get to do,

145
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: like in America and with what I've been doing, which

146
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: is so awesome.

147
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: But a big stadium like that, is that is that

148
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: harder or than a small club or is it you're

149
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: all Once a titter of laughter starts in the crowd,

150
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: then you've got a big titter.

151
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: It's just very different. It's you need to think about

152
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: your pacing. And obviously with my accent, I have to

153
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: slow right down for many places I go in America,

154
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: and I can't use too much slang. Americans don't understand

155
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: what petrol means. They say gas and they don't understand

156
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: anything else. So if you say, oh, you know, petrol station,

157
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: they're like what is that? And You're like, okay, gas station.

158
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: Calm down.

159
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: There must have been a big learning curve for you

160
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: when you first started performing in the States, where you think,

161
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: why don't they understanding what I'm saying no.

162
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: Petrol, well twelve years. And that's why I'm making these

163
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 3: silly videos on my Instagram because every day I find

164
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: something that I'm like, why don't you know what that is?

165
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: And when you're in America, do you feel that it's

166
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: going to be okay, like with this election at the moment.

167
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: And we spoke to Rob Schneider about this, and he said,

168
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: on the Internet, it looks like it's nuts, but when

169
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: you're there, it's not nuts.

170
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: No, it's not at all. It's like, look, if you

171
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: go to America, all they see about Australia is Shark

172
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: Week and stuff they've put on, and they just think

173
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: everything is going to kill you, which to some degree

174
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: is true, but it's not what it's like, right. So

175
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: that's the same polarization of what we're getting from America.

176
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: If you're in California or New York, it's pretty heated

177
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: right now and everyone's discussing about it. But if you're

178
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: in the middle of the country in Dayton, Ohio, honestly,

179
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: they're just really good people that want to live their

180
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: lives and they've got different lives than us, and they

181
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: want to have their guns and whatever. But they've got

182
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: their reasons for it, and I actually that's the heart

183
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: of America is in the you know, the middle of

184
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: the country, and they're not too fussed either way, to

185
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: be honest, they just want to be good people and

186
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: live their lives, which is interingting from our vantage point

187
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: thinking that everyone's going crazy over there.

188
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: They're interesting to hear. Yeah, they're all sitting there wondering

189
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 4: what petrol is?

190
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is this? What is this petrol?

191
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: But we have great with you. Like the bottles like that.

192
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: I love it.

193
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: America's bottle. You say bottle, I think, what what's the bottle?

194
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: Smokeo, bottle of Yeah on anything?

195
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: Smoko, Yeah, you check on anything. I like saying oil.

196
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: Let's go to the bottle and go skull tiny's in

197
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: the back of the ute. And I say that to

198
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: someone and they go, what just happened? And sorry about it?

199
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: Whereas it's a pretty bogan thing for me to say.

200
