You see those two twins that like have to speak with each other? Crazy. Freaking so stupid. That is hilar. It's really entertaining though. You know they were homeschooled. They're basically G and Catty like from SNL where you're just like trying to predict instead of like you don't have the same brain. Guys, it's still funny. It's not a land connection. All right. So, um dude, I'm

0:52 scared of this title, dude. No, don't worry about it. I'm scared of this. Honey speaks Asian. What's wrong with that? Do you speak Chinese? You're just going to Everybody here, all right, in their native tongue, really, really simple phrase. I'm just going to teach you how to say something. You all you got to do is copy it. Okay.

That's a natural Filipino phrase. I never heard that phrase at all. It's good. We're just not even going to tell him what he No, we're not going to tell him cuz this will be a hitter.

He He nails it. That means I'm a good tracer. They say that means my secret is in the sock. What does that mean? And what's the meaning of I don't know. I just made it up. Do you speak Do you speak Mandarin? I just made it up. No, Mim means secret.

3:24 Yeah. And the watts is sock. So my my secret is in the sock. I think the phrase is my secret's in the sauce. In the sock, loser. He just made you look dumb right now. You going to take that from him? In the sock. Loser. Loser. That's good. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, we got we got that was Mandarin specifically. That's Mandarin. Give him Cantonese. No one would ever say that phrase. Do a Cantonese one. Do Cantonese. Oh, man. You know Cantonese a little bit. Oh, can you do Cantonese? I don't know. No Cantonese. What do you speak? I like Say this. Say, it's a weird word. Lo, but N G O Mo.

I want to say loop 24-hour loop in Cantonese only or does Mandarin have a different way of saying Coca-Cola cola. Yeah. Damn. Coca-Cola. Yeah. It's all It's all like Sounds like you're just making fun of Coke, man. I feel like I should defend them. It's all an attempt to say it and then it's just like like like ████ tree. You're trying to say factory in my factory. Yeah. Like

5:08 that. Okay. Pretty Let's try some Japanese. All right. This one's for Steve. Okay. Uh Oh, you got to slow it down, dude. Karai kalai tab mono. Tabono. Daiski. Daiski. Yeah, that means you're the last samurai. It's my favorite movie. I love spicy food. Oh ████ What's dysky mean? Like I love like it's my favorite. Yeah. Oh, so you do you say like me spicy food I love? You have to break it up. Karai is spicy. Tabono is food. I love is or like I like like So you speak like Yeah. Oh ████ I would like someone spicy food. I like spicy food. Is that the Yoda it a little bit? I think so. Like the pattern. It's like the

5:59 opposite of English. Yeah. It's like spicy food. I like subject first and then Yeah. That's tight. I heard George Lucas recently say that he he had Yoda talk like that because he's the philosopher of the movie and he wanted kids to pay extra attention when he's speaking. Oh, so he had he had him pattern it that way so people are like leaning forward to listen. That is cool. It's interesting, right? It worked. Yeah, it did. You loved it. I love your me too. Japanese sounds cool. Food stuff. Sounds hella cool. So far, I would say Japanese is the easiest one. All right, let's hit him with some Vit. Yeah, Vietnamese probably Vietnamese might be the hardest cuz Vietnamese and Chinese are tonal. So, you got to hit that right. Um, my like go down with it. See the tone? Oh,

6:51 man. You got to be a descending airplane. My my cuz cuz there's cuz you can go like my my like you have to say my buckle your seat belt. My Descending. Descending airplane. Descending. All right. My limb. My limb. Go go go go go down down. Yeah. My limb go down. My limb go down. My My limb go down. Go down. My limp go. You have to say go. What the? Oh, you have to say it inside your mouth. Yeah, it's inside. Go.

7:43 Go. Try saying it like this. Go is the subject of the sentence. That helps for I'll try it. Yeah. Go is the subject. So, you have to like really focus on that word. My go my limb go down. [Laughter] What? What does that mean? You lick my dick. I like that. I like that. You lick my dick. Grease now. It sounds the same. Yeah, it really tonal stuff is hard though. That's hard. Like hard me cuz it's my but you just want to say my but. But then you got to go my What's the difference? Like what if So if I if I do say like then it says I lick my dick. You don't want that mistake. If I do say like the the way I was saying go for

8:34 example, does it is it change the word? Yeah. Oh, it does. Yeah. So like what's the word instead? Uh like say go go go. Like if you if you say go it's like dick, right? But if you say like go, it's like auntie. Oh wow. Lick my auntie. The line that is too close. Lick my auntie. They got to reform it, dude. Or you say like if you say like coal you it's like I lick your coal is like dry. Yeah. Like I lick your auntie. How do you say it's not just like the phrase but it's also like the way you say like you lick my like a d can be like duh with the sound or it could be like y. Wow. So like even though it's a d, it could be like pronounced in two different ways. That's wild. Yeah. Yeah. The tonal languages are hard cuz it's like same words, but like the way your

9:26 intonations and everything, it just changes the word. Is that an actual phrase that like a Vietnamese person would say as an insult? Like, you lick my dick. No, but if you said it to anybody, they'd be like, "What?" But it's like it makes more sense than like the secrets in the sock. That one's crazy. Why not sauce? It's so funny. Is is saying you lick my dick like is that saying like am I declaring that it's something you do or am I demanding that you do it? In that way it's demanding cuz when you say like my it's already like you like condescend. It's not like me recapping what we do every day. Okay. It's like you're giving a commanding you lick dick mine. You know

10:16 is me or mine. That was the hardest thing for me. Is you like but it's like condescending you. Oh, like I say my like yours you. ████ your mom. Not my mom. Your mom. Mom. If I say ████ your mom. Is that ████ my mom? Yeah. Yeah. You would never say that. ████ my mom. He would. What up, guys?

11:08 said to eggs? It doesn't It doesn't work. Let's try to make some Viet stuff. Yeah, go ahead. We try. Hey, do you speak Cantonese, too? No, I'm When I was a kid, it was my first language cuz like all of my like uh extended family speak Cantonese. So, like I know random phrases like I want to go to sleep. I need to use the bathroom. How do you say I want to go to sleep? Uh is it tonal too? Like Vietnamese? Not as much though. Yeah, it's not as much. When my buddy Stanley Wong was yelling for his mom, he would yell mommy. What's that mean? Does that mean come here? In Chinese, English mean? Yeah, could be. Yeah, probably that means come here. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I jack knifed him through a closet one time and he

11:58 yelled that. Oh, you did. You picked him up and then he I jack knifed him like fully through a closet door. Yeah. Snapped it in ████ half. You broke the closet door. Big trouble for that. Oh, we got in big trouble. Yeah, those are flimsy, too. And he yelled out, he yelled out, "Mom, mommy like that." He knew he was in trouble. What did mom say when she saw you? Oh, a bunch of ████ ████ Can't do ████ Bunch of kanto ████ dude. Breaking something in an Asian house when you're like a big deal. It was wild. Through through a closet. That's wild, dude. That's wild, man. The property value go down. We were We were watching wrestling, dude. That's all it takes. Oh, god damn, man. You get fired up. Break you. We were fired up, dude. We were doing fishing moves down there. was great. Ta's been try some of Steve's languages. Okay. What's some phrases that we Oh, yeah. Okay. Ready? Just Okay.

12:50 Trump [Music] ████ Trump trump. Nailed it. Good job. You guys did it quick. But that was Are there any tones or no? It's just just like Trump Trump. Yeah. Does it change the meaning when you go Trump or Trump? No, it still means ████ yeah. It still means ████ yeah. We just got to have Tao wilding out on Donald Trump again. Donald Trump. What's it? What's the easiest out of all those? So you did Tagaloga, you did Mand. Cantonese, Japanese, and Vietnamese. Which one's hardest? J. Yours. Vietnamese. Vietnamese is the hardest. Difficult. Very hard. Do you do you do you sense like how much more difficult it is than other languages or is it so easy for you? Uh no, I think it's still difficult for me. Actually, when I go to Vietnam, I'm lost because

13:41 there's different dialects there too. Oh ████ And accents in in different regions. That's that's Indian. You know that clip with all the ducks? Yeah. Um, to me, I think what makes it I think what makes it difficult from like maybe Steve's point of view is like the it's not just like the language tones and stuff. It's also just like the way your mouth has to move to make sounds. Yeah. You're not used. It's like it's like when he went into Cantonese and he was like and that's already like what you would never make that sound. Yeah. Yeah, English is just so you move your tongue so differently versus like Japanese uh even though he was saying like uh really complex things, it's still like the way that our mouth can move, you know, like for Japanese how there's no you don't accentuate one syllable longer than the

14:31 rest depending on how you feel. You know, like in when you're speaking English, you can say, you know, any syllable of the word you can say longer and it's the same word like elephant. But then for Japanese, it's Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But then in Japanese it's just like one the beats are the same, right? Like if I if you were saying egg elephanto Yeah. Yeah. Like eggs. Yeah. It's like English. Like it's like tamago. But then you can't be like tamago. If you want to cuz the guy that sings about how him liking sushi, he stretches it. I like sushi. I like still English. I like sushi. Like in a in a when you say like a long sentence in Japanese, you're supposed to just have the same like rhythm through the whole thing. They do pauses like No, I mean like you know how like people go like wow and like stuff like that. They do that too. So in Japanese like tamago if you go

15:22 tamago or like it's still the same word. Yeah, but they'll look at you dumb. This guy with down really likes eggs. Does Tamagotchi mean anything? Yeah, cuz it's a egg. So, tomago and then I think it's like a compound mix word where it's like uh they probably got the word tomodachi which is friendship. Okay. So, they got the tamago chi which is like the friendship the last word for friendship. Gotcha. Yeah. So, it's like your egg friend. You know in Vietnamese how you said like if you said a word a syllable it has to go downward. If if what if you just don't feel like going downward, then it's just a different word. Cuz you like if you

16:12 have like heightened emotion, you still have to go down and up on certain like say a Vietnamese sentence but be pissed but yell at us. Yeah, yell at us. So I could be like my limot. Okay. Okay. I could be like, "Hey, my limb go out like like you're still saying the but you're just adding your a tone is all so like but the accent and the ride of the sound has to still be the same." That's like I can go like why power or I can go why power. Yeah. If you want to whisper to a brother why power but if you want to exclaim I feel like in just go like just like everyone else. Oh yeah. Just go like that. I feel like in general though the language has changed when you add like reading and writing right in terms of like how difficult you write in Vietnamese. Uh no, but I it's easier for me to decipher reading it because they still use like letters whereas like

17:04 we're not talking characters anymore. It's like if all of us sit there and then we look at like a a Vietnamese like you could see fu and be like oh that's a fuss spot cuz you can read ph. My mind how there's infinite kanji. I just can't even like my mind can't even grasp cuz that's literally hieroglyphs. Yeah. You just got to learn all of them. Yeah. Like if you every new word you just have to learn a new word. It's just not a a new arrangement of letters. It's a whole new ████ But Japanese people, they complicated it because what they did is they have three alphabets. Wow. There's too many probably. One is like the uh the English alphabet. It's just it's just uh phonetic so you could sound it out. And that was only for women cuz they were too stupid to learn the other one. True. They were too stupid for it. Nah, they they reserve I don't know why

17:54 but they when they taught women and children that's the that's the alphabet that they were only allowed to use. That's what I But we have a same exact alphabet but it's the only perfect purpose for it is to pronounce foreign words. Oh yeah. Yeah. that it's a diff it's a foreign word. But imagine if we had to learn your ABCs and then you have to also learn your ABCs again with different shapes. So that's and then the third one is just adopted from China. So it doesn't even like China they they have their like complex characters, right? And each uh character is a is a syllable. So there's no kanji or Japanese word for gay guy. What? Because like

18:44 cuz I always figured if it's if there's a word for it that's like an imported word that means you guys didn't have it before Americans like you just say homo right for gay oh that's what you're saying yeah yeah cuz that's an important telephone or like yeah computer like so if there's no kanji for a gay guy well for Chinese it it's uh uh Same sexi like same sex preference. Oh, okay. So, there's probably words for it. So, proper. I mean, Mandarin is very, but do they say it like that? How do they say it? Yeah. Oh, okay. Like Mandarin, there's no bad words. There's no cuss words cuz I was thinking like it's like he's saying like how people go like like

19:36 Costco gay guy or whatever. Homos disappoint gay guy. My mom just calls it a homodachis. So I grew up homodachi. Yeah. I just called gay people homodachis cuz I honestly that's hilarious. That's good. I like that. Wow. Homo friends. Yeah. Gay friends. Gay amigos. Homo brains. Right. Bart. Joy. Homodachi.
