I think within our lifetimes, we'll hit a point where, like, all dudes.
Yep.
Yep.
We had that.
In Korea, they wear makeup.
Yeah, I think we're going to, we kind of had it in the emo era.
Like, it was kind of normalized for dudes to wear makeup.
H sometimes lets me put it on if he's going to, like, a warehouse party.
Oh, that makes sense.
And then he went and we visited his friends first, and they're like, the fuck's in your face, bro.
And I was like, see, what I mean is I think we're going to hit a point at some point in the next decades where guys don't make fun of each other for that.
Yeah, because it's.
It's awesome.
We'll hit that phase.
They make fun to each other for having small babies.
Have you seen that trend on TikTok where it's like, it's like I get robbed,
but I actually grab the setting spray instead of pepper spray?
No.
And they do it with their boyfriends and they like do this thing.
And then they put their boyfriends in full makeup and they like turn their like.
And like these guys look amazing with like full makeup.
I mean, you look great at the Smosh Hospital.
I was like, okay, honey.
Gorgeous.
Thank you.
And in the trailer you were like, yeah.
Oh, it's, you see yourself.
the mirror and you're like it was like court was just like and you were just like yeah
anthony i were in the back just watching you and i was like oh my god
oh la bienvenito a smoshmouth so i'm jane and i'manda and today we're
an invitea spatial olivia how did you guys like that
you automatically change your voice like the tone of your voice i cannot help but go into like
a soccer announcer
Because like that's like,
Oh, la, bienvenitos.
And football especial.
Like, I just, because I love that shit.
Yeah.
Mine's Spanish teacher.
Lavas los plato.
Bienvenidos.
You do sound like a teacher.
Yeah.
I'm into it.
You could pass as a teacher.
Teach me something.
Yeah, I'll teach you.
Spanish.
Guys, why are we speaking different languages?
We kind of, in coming up with this episode,
it was like an A to C type.
situation, right? We're like, the Super Bowl's coming up, but do people really want to hear us
talk about football? No, but Bad Bunny is doing the halftime show, and Bad Bunny, a lot of his
songs are in Spanish, and I was like, I love other languages. Let's try to see if we can read
other languages as a bit of a challenge for ourselves. This is why? That's kind of, this is why?
That's our excuse for doing it. I thought it was like, oh my God, did you guys know
Olivia is Chinese? And then they're like... Yeah, I didn't think.
Think about that.
Yeah.
Actually, it is true.
You are Chinese.
No, but you guys realize, like, oh, my God, she's Chinese.
She speaks a different language.
Yeah.
It occurred to me a couple months ago for the first time.
Yeah, that I'm Chinese.
Yeah, I thought you were just totally white.
It was very much much hospital.
Yeah.
Yeah, you were like, oh, my God, your Chinese.
Also, you next to Trevor, oh, my.
He is like two feet.
He's like double your size.
Is he?
I don't know, but seeing it on screen was wild.
No idea.
It was a wild.
How tall is Trevor?
I don't know.
I want to say Trevor six four, six five.
Anyways.
So as of recording this episode, it's still January.
But when this episode airs, the Super Bowl is next week.
Or it's going to, it's coming up.
And your prediction was.
So I predicted that the Rams and the Texans were going to go to the Super Bowl.
That didn't happen.
But something kind of crazy.
I was thinking about this.
All right.
So this weekend, as of recording this, the Broncos and the Panthers and the Panthers and the
Patriots are going to play in the
AFC championship. You versus me.
I know. We're facing off. And Olivia's
here. You know, it's crazy though. So the Broncos
in their last game, it was an insane game, but then their
quarterback broke his ankle on the final play.
So now in this game, Broncos
are at a huge disadvantage. They're probably going to lose.
If you remember, in our
2025 predictions,
I said the Broncos are going to go to the
AFC championship and lose.
Does nobody remember that I said that?
No, because when you're, you're,
When you're saying stuff like that, I just go, la, la, la, la, earth is fun.
I predicted it in January of 2025, and this is the 2025 football season.
Wow.
And so I predicted the Broncos we're going to lose here.
That is crazy.
Thank you, Olivia.
Isn't that crazy?
That's very cool.
Insane.
Olivia, do you watch football?
No, I do not.
Okay.
But your prediction, wow, that's awesome.
So cool.
Really cool that you predicted that a year ago during this time.
I will say.
that my mom is a huge Patriots fan.
She loves the Patriots.
She watches it every single Sunday.
So she is very excited about this.
And I'm very happy for you guys.
I'm so excited for your mom and for you.
This is amazing.
Football is cool.
Olivia, if you were to watch anything on Sunday,
what would it be?
I would watch...
Oh my God.
So many shows on HBO.
Okay, fair.
I would also watch this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I also enjoy TV.
Any specific?
Are you watching Task?
Of course.
I started Task.
Yeah.
You started it.
Well, it's one of my mom's favorite shows from 2025.
Okay, well, me and your mom have a lot in common.
Yeah.
It's so good.
I'll watch football on Sundays.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
Here's the deal.
I don't actually love watching the sport of football.
I do love watching sports.
I'd rather watch football.
The World Cup is this year.
Or hockey.
The World Cup is this year.
Yeah, we got the Winter Olympics in the World Cup this year.
and I am stoked for that shit.
I am obsessed with the World Cup.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know that.
Why?
Because the stakes are just huge.
Right.
It's the world.
Like football's cool, but I'm like, this is just in America.
And it's like, all right, cool.
The World Cup, I'm like, holy shit.
This small country is trying to get this achievement that they've never gotten.
Like when Messi won for Argentina, it was crazy.
He is so popular.
He's awesome.
My nephew literally consistently wears messy outfits.
and then he went to a Liverpool game with his dad.
And he was just, it was so freaking cute.
Yeah, man.
So wait, who's in the World Cup?
Like, the World Cup is...
What is this happening?
This happens this year, later this year.
I want to say...
Where is it happening?
Actually, it's going to be in America.
It's going to be held all throughout Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
I think it's going to be at Bank of California in L.A.
They're going to have them in, like, so fies.
Can we go?
Every stadium across.
Why can't we go?
I think the tickets are crazy.
Wait.
Don't they have...
have a lottery going on for World Cup right now?
I think it's for Winter Olympics. They have
lotteries going on. Chance was looking
into that. Summer Olympics for 2020.
Oh, Summer Olympics for L.A.
for 2020. Oh, right.
That's in two years. I know. And it's going to
be psychotic. Where are the
Winter Olympics? Italy. Italy.
Italy. I always forget
that there's snowy mountains. When is this? Sorry,
I've been asleep for the past three years.
The Winter Olympics are in February. What's happening?
What's going on? Vienvinidos. Okay.
But isn't winter going to be over? Seriously?
is what?
When is winter over?
March.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Prime winter is actually January, February.
Hey, so I don't know how seasons work.
I thought spring was happening.
In L.A., it's hard to know.
Prime winter, technically, before global warming, was October to March, pretty much.
But now we get it in January.
Now it's like December to March.
Like, the East Coast right now is a winter wonderland currently.
I'm about to go to Colorado for the Bronco Patriots game.
It's going to be like 20 degrees.
Are you?
What's happening?
See, look, recording this podcast, time is weird, right?
Time is very weird.
But it's airing in the future.
And so.
Olivia, you are here.
You're here.
You're at Smosh Mouth.
But don't worry.
It is 2026.
No, we have rehearsals for Smosh Hospital.
No, that's done.
No, we already did that.
We already did that.
It's okay.
Sometimes there's a lot going on.
There's a lot going on.
I don't know.
Why don't just tell me when this episode's coming out?
Then I'll know the timeline.
February 7th.
Great.
February 2nd.
Literally in two weeks.
Feb, two.
But you guys don't want to hear us talk about sports for an hour.
No, keep going.
And your predictions.
That's why we've wanted to do this for a while of reading other languages off a teleprompter
and seeing how well we can just read them without knowing the language.
We have so many fans who are from so many parts of the world speak so many different languages.
So cool.
And I do, like one of my lifetime dreams is to be able to speak,
Spanish. I've been off and on in classes my entire life. I suck at it. I suck at learning languages.
You have to consistently practice it. Also, it's much easier to learn it when you're younger,
which is why my son, we are teaching him Russian now because my husband speaks fluent Russian,
obviously. And so I think when they're younger, you can teach them easier, which means that I
have to get a Russian tutor.
I have to because I can't have
my husband and my son
just talking behind my back.
No.
I can't let that happen.
No, it's going to be bad.
I can't let them have a special bonding time.
Or you're going to be in there.
Yeah, you got to learn.
I do have to learn.
So we will be doing some Russian today
and I will be very bad at it.
Okay.
I practice in front of my husband
and he was laughing the entire time.
Probably better than me.
You're going to be better than both of us at that.
And then Selena wrote a paragraph in Tagalog, which I couldn't tell you what.
I've never read in Tagalog ever.
No, I don't know what I'm getting into there.
Because Selena is fluent.
You're fluent.
Wow.
She's saying yes.
We have so many people here who work at Smosh who are fluent in multiple languages.
Well, Olivia.
I am fluent in Mandarin.
Not Chinese.
Mandarin is the language.
I'm also fluent in stupid.
And that's a skill.
We'll also be reading that off the prompter or we'll just be talking it.
Olivia, something that I remember it blew my mind when I first started working here and we were like hanging out at the office and you're on the phone with your mom.
Talking shit about you.
Yeah, you were talking shit about me.
But it wasn't just that you were speaking Mandarin.
You would go back and forth between English and Mandarin.
Jinglish.
Within the same sentence.
It's called code switching.
Why are you?
Anyways.
You, ally.
Learned it in college.
It's called code switching.
When I go from one language or the other?
Yep.
People do it all the time.
That's what it's called.
I thought a term from back in the day.
I thought it was more of a cultural thing.
I thought that was people being like, oh, I got to talk this way to white people.
Yes, exactly.
They're racist.
No.
Like when I go home?
That was my assumption.
Me too.
I thought that was code switching.
Like when I'm here, I code switch.
I'm a white person.
No.
No.
No.
I'm just going to say no.
And I'm going to stick with that.
Wait, let the audience decide.
Guys, what do you, comment below?
What do you think code switching?
Do you think code switching is when you are talking to someone in the same language
and you're switching back from two different languages?
Or is code switching because you are trying to be more white for other people's comfort?
Or other, like, it doesn't have to be just white.
Yeah, code switching is like, I think I always assumed it was like in a specific society.
It's like, okay, I'm going to be judged if I don't.
like speak this way.
So I have to switch up how I'm talking.
I think I guess I'm the only one who thinks it's the other way.
So I can see why.
I think, okay, you know what I think?
I think textbook, maybe this is correct, accurate.
And then I think as, you know, people started being more codes, which you like, they started
using that term as like a cultural thing.
You guys know when you learn something like years ago and you're like that is fact forever,
you've never, you've never asked questions about it.
You've never, like, researched if it's wrong.
You've just imprinted in your brain like, that is correct.
Yes, the earth is flat.
I assume I'm wrong about everything.
I heard someone say that.
Well, that's a conspiracy theory that is actually going on.
I know.
That there's an ice wall.
I can't.
And it's unfortunate.
You guys, I'm kidding.
I know.
I don't know.
I'm kidding.
Today's episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by Zok Doc.
Shane, there is so much to do.
Family, hobbies, career.
Football. And then there's my health care. It's like a complex puzzle and finding the right piece is so hard. I don't know how you do it.
I'll tell you how I do it. I use Zoc Doc. Zococ is a free app and website that helps you find in book high quality in network doctors so you can find someone you love.
I love that I can easily search for specialty or symptom. With 150,000 providers across all 50 states, it makes it easy to find network appointments.
Searching for symptom rather than just searching the web is so much better.
Oh. And speaking of feeling better, there are verified patient reviews so you can obtain a real sense of who your doctor is.
When I was looking for a doctor, I was able to search by specialty, like I said, and in my area, and I was able to book an appointment within 72 hours. It was so quick and easy, and I found someone I'm a big fan of.
Como said you disay? I'm ready to book my next appointment.
I don't know how you de-say that. Stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoch.com slash Smoshabout to find an InSlee book, a doctor you love to date.
that's ZOCDOC.com slash smoshmouth.
Zocdoc.com slash smoshmouth.
Thanks Zokok for sponsoring this message.
Back to the show.
Vamos!
Shall we get to some languages?
Should we try to speak some other words?
Yes.
Because also Bad Bunny is doing the Super Bowl,
and I'm very, very excited about that.
Okay, so most of the Spanish that we have,
we're going to speak some Bad Bunny songs so we don't get copyright struck.
Yeah.
So don't sing too beautifully, okay?
I definitely want. I'm going to be talking this. Do you want to start? So we're going to, we're going to talk some Spanish and then we're going to translate it for you guys. Great. And if you are a Spanish speaker listening to this, I apologize ahead of time. I'm so sorry. I'm trying my best here. I can barely speak English. Do you want to start? I can start. Start. I feel like I generally feel pretty good about pronouncing Spanish words because it's like more consistent with their vowels.
Whereas English, I'm miss speaking shit all the time.
Yeah.
And our comments are letting me know all the time.
Really?
Oh, I, because I learned most, a lot of words from just reading alone, I never learned
how to pronounce a lot of words.
Like, truly.
So people are constantly like, you're pronouncing that weird.
No, I think it's because you have an accent.
Like you say eggs like eggs and leg, like leg.
You just have a little bit of an accent.
Wait, really?
And I don't know what accent that is.
That is.
Eggs.
Egg.
Egg.
That's egg?
An egg?
Leg.
Leg.
Leg.
Eggs.
It's okay.
I say milk.
Sorry.
No, we cannot move on.

Years of Spanish
You started to like
Be able to do that
But what's crazy is in Spanish class
They teach you like
Go to the museum and da-da
But when you're in a car
You're like I need to get to this place
They don't teach you like
The quick
Right
Like hey I have I have five dollars
I have to get to this
Where can I get a coffee with milk
Oh lege
One thing about this to background
Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican
So there's Puerto Rican.
Puerto Rican.
Yeah, because there's probably a million different.
Which, should we tell our fans that I am not Puerto Rican?
Yeah, so I saw a comment recently.
There was a smosh-mouth clip, and someone was like, is Amanda White?
And someone's like, I think she's Puerto Rican.
And I was like, where'd you come up with that?
I mean, East Coast, short, I am not Puerto Rican.
I am Portuguese.
My family's from the Azores.
Oh, okay, see, this is, I think they're like Portuguese.
Portuguese, Puerto Rican.
East Coast.
It's okay.
And I just want you guys to know the audience.
I am Chinese.
Not white.
Not white.
I know.
Everyone's always saying that too.
They're always saying that.
I'm like, stop it.
And I'm not.
You know, so I just want to make this.
Yeah, you're very Chinese.
I'm also not Puerto Rican.
Yes.
That is true.
And that's an important thing to make.
People get confused.
I'm in a very Chinese time of my life right now.
What does that mean?
It's just a.
need to tell me because I kind of get it sometimes I'm like I feel very Portuguese right now I'm not
even kidding oh my god I thought you was saying I feel really Chinese right now what do you mean no no no
when I'm with my family and we're eating the food and it feels nostalgic yeah and I just feel
very Portuguese at that at that moment I don't know if this is what that means so yeah I feel like
I'm in my own boat over here and that's fine that's fine are you in a really Chinese time of your
life. No, he's just, he's white. He's white. He's wonder bread. It's like, should we figure out,
guys, no, we're all Chinese, okay, we're all Chinese today and it's really great. Wow. Let's figure out
the definition of this. Okay. Oh, so wait. Auntie asked me by bad, what was it the, what was the word for
Auntie? Titi. Titi. Okay, good to know. Titi. Ante asked me if I have a lot of girlfriends.
A lot of girlfriends. Oh, she's asked me if I have a lot of
of girlfriends. I thought, okay, I got confused by the, all right. So his aunt being like,
do you have a lot of girlfriends? A lot of girlfriends? A lot of girlfriends. Today I have one. Tomorrow
have another. Hey, but there's no wedding. Oh, because he doesn't want to settle down.
Nice. Bad buddy. You're so bad. Bad boy. Ants you asked me if I have a lot of girlfriends.
A lot of girlfriends. Okay, that's him being like, a lot of girlfriends. Ha ha. Okay, today I have
one tomorrow. I'll have another. I'm going to take them all to the VIP, the VIP. Hey.
Say hello to Auntie.
Let's take a selfie.
Say cheese, hey.
Let the ones I already fuck smile.
Damn.
Okay.
Auntie is watching.
This is from genius.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
This is genius rapping.
Bad Bunny would never say that.
Bad Bunny would never do that.
Yeah, he probably would.
Yeah, he probably would, dude.
Wow.
Hi BAP.
Okay, we can.
Say hello to auntie.
Let's take a selfie, say cheese.
Let those who have already forgotten about me smile.
Ooh.
Let those who have already forgotten about me smile.
have already moved on, Smile. Wow. Okay. Now we know. Now we know. And when he, when he sings
that at the Super Bowl, I'm going to be off the time. Do we think he's going to sing this song of the
Super Bowl? Um, yeah. Is this his number one? I don't think it's number one. More famous.
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His songs are massive. Yeah. Incredible. He's like the number one
artist in the world right now, right? Yeah. I feel like, is it crazy, but I feel like Super Bowl,
I don't know if it's like the number one artist
But I feel like Superwell, that's what they do
They try to get, it's like S&L of the time, right?
They try to get like...
It's always tough though
Because they got to find an artist that excites like
Every generation
And Bad Bunny is very contemporary
So I feel like a lot of older generations
Are probably like, who is this guy?
Yeah, but then he's gonna sing and they're like, this is amazing
Yeah, of course.
It's also interesting that cheese and selfie
Or cheese and selfie
Yeah, and VIP
Interesting.
That is interesting.
And VIP.
P. Yeah. Huh.
Is that all the lyrics for that?
No. I mean, for that song
that I put in, yeah.
There's more. Got it.
Great.
Cheese in Spanish is
Caeso. And it's not
queso. Yeah, but saying that in front of a...
I think he's code switching. Yes.
Language code switching.
Well, because if you say queso in front of a photo,
the face you're making is...
Then you know what?
A Spanish teacher would probably say
You know when you like go to a Spanish-speaking country and you've taken years of Spanish in America?
You're like,
Ola, adios, amigo.
Like you say these things that they just, they don't say anymore.
Right.
They don't say aidos amigo?
No.
Okay.
Ciao.
Whenever I've traveled to other countries, I'm like, I feel like such an idiot.
I feel like such an idiot.
Just because trying to speak the language.
It's also traveling.
You realize that everyone everywhere is bilingual, except for us.
Except for me, I mean.
Except for you.
A lot of Americans.
I was like, fuck, when I went to Japan last year, I tried so hard to learn as much as I could before I go.
And I was like, I'd be like, I'd be like, yeah, the bathroom's over there, man.
And I'd be like, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
Every other country but us is like multiple languages.
Because that's what you should be doing.
But we are like English.
Fucking dumbass.
But I think the effort to try is.
Yeah.
Agreed.
Of course.
When you try, you're like trying to assimilate.
I'm really trying to commit to it now and not get discouraged.
Except in France.
I don't think that you should just try.
I think you should just...
I've heard in France, don't even give it a shot.
I think it's like, I speak...
I'm so sorry.
I think you should just say, I'm sorry.
You just walk up and go, I'm so sorry.
When I was in France, everyone was so nice.
No, it's not that they're not nice.
It's just like...
They're just like...
When I went to France and I tried, they were just like...
They were just like not.
They were like, no.
Don't try.
Just stop.
Wow.
But like if you're, if you live in Emily and Paris world, everyone speaks English.
I actually don't watch Emily and Paris world.
I've never watched the show.
But that world sounds so funny to me.
What a weird, wacky world.
I mean, the outfits are incredible.
All right.
We have another bad bunny song.
My turn.
Do you want a shot at it?
It is your turn.
Okay.
D.T.M.F.
day bad bunny.
I'm so sorry, guys.
I didn't take Spanish in high school.
I took Mandarin in high school.
Yeah, that makes sense.
So this is going to be really bad, and I'm so sorry.
If you only want to do a couple lines, that's fine.

Of some
I'm not positive though.
I'll say the translation.
Yeah, say the translation.
I should have taken more pictures when I had you.
I should have given you more kisses and hugs whenever I could.
She was a sad one.
Yeah.
A, I hope my people never move away.
If I get drunk today, I hope they help me out.
I should have taken more pictures when I had you.
I should have given more kisses and hugs whenever I could.
I hope my people never move away.
And if I get drunk today, I hope they help me out.
Oh, damn.
This is sad as hell.
Poetry.
Wow.
poetry.
I know I've joked a lot over the years of like, oh, I want to be able to do the splits or stuff.
But truly, yeah, that's been years.
And I've moved on a little bit.
Because, yeah.
But truly a genuine, like, goal of mine that I've had for, like, a decade and I just need to work towards it is, you know, I know speaking Spanish and, like, hearing it will always be, like, really hard.
And I struggle to, like, hear English sometimes.
but I really want to be able to read a book in Spanish
because I love reading and like visually I think I pick up on things a lot quicker
than like audio.
So I'd love to get to that point because once I can start reading it
I'm like I can read all the time and I can do that every day.
You could get one of those books they have at this Russian book where one side is English,
one side is one page is Russian.
So it's like you're reading it.
The Russians obviously totally different but you could do that.
I'll definitely be, I want to get some classes and stuff in because I know the
syntax and stuff is different.
So if I did that, I might start misinterpreting
certain words. But I want to
get to a point where I'm like, because I think I'm
I understand a lot with
Spanish of like the structure of a sentence
and everything, but yeah.
You're such a student. I love that. I love learning.
I really love it.
Today's episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by
Me Undies. Shane, do you know, it would be
really funny. Okay, what?
If we matched underwear.
That's so funny. I was just thinking
that. We can match with MeUndies.
The undies is great for matching with your partner or your co-host.
We can wear the same prints, but in different cuts like bikinis, trunks, boy shorts, boxer briefs, and thongs.
They are all made from their signature ultramodal fabric.
It is so soft.
I am obsessed with their Valentine's Day collection, you know, because it's my birthday.
And you have to order soon because, you guys, February 14th is around the corner.
Oh my God, Shane, I have the best idea.
We should match undies for my B-day.
Yeah.
Meandis has a first pair promise, 45 days risk-free,
which means if your first pair doesn't work out,
they'll make it right, no hassle.
Over 30 million pairs have been sold
and they have 90,000 five-star reviews.
Ooh, okay, I have a five-star review I want to add.
Literally, they sent me the V-Day collection.
It is so soft, so beautiful, so cute,
and they sent me the brollette,
and I'm telling you, me and brawlett are not friends.
We are absolutely friends.
It fits, it's supportive,
It's cute, it's soft.
I feel like I'm not even wearing a bra.
And that is magic.
Make this Valentine's Day one to remember
with matching underwear from Mey Undies.

People are gonna know what I'm wearing it.
Yeah, that butt's going to be popping.
Yeah.
I'll have the straps up to you.
Bro, you're not wearing it right.
Hey, guys!
You're not wearing it right.
Do we have another...
I love this song.
This next song is so good.
Oh, wow, you got to do the song.
You know what's funny?
On my way here to work, I was listening to Ba La Mos.
By La Mose.
I can't sing it.
Enrique.
Enrique.
Oh, yeah.
Enrique.
Do you remember Hero with Enrique?
Oh, yeah.
Do you remember the music video?
That's insane.
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
She's like on a mattress in the desert.
I don't know how they got that mattress there.
You kind of look like Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Really?
Oh, that's high praise.
Whoa.
And I know you did last summer or Can't Hardly Wait.
That one.
Slow motion.
Music video.
Yeah, and Can't Hardly Wait.
She's always in slow motion.
They made fun of that.
And her name's Amanda.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to call you Jennifer.
Big compliment, you guys.
Jennifer Love Hewitt from Puerto Rico.
Oh, my God.
Well.
So the next one is Baile Inolvidable.
Yes.
So I know Baile is dance, right?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, wow, like ballet.
But I don't know what the second part means.
I don't know.
I guess we'll figure it out.
I don't know either.
Go ahead, Shane.
Pensaba that contigo

Unforgettable. Unforgettable. That's what it means.
Damn. Inolvidable. Inolvidable. Unforgettable. Unforgetable. I thought I'd grow old with you in another life in another world. It could be. In this one, all that's left is for me to leave one day and look up at the sky to see if I see you fall. Okay. If you see me alone and sad, don't talk to me. If you see me alone and sad, it's not my fault. It's my fault. If you see me alone and sad, it's my fault. Life is a party that one day ends and you were my own.
unforgettable dance.
Okay.
Life is a party.
You're a boy.
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought.
Bad Bunny has a lot of regrets.
Damn.
These songs are,
these songs are like.
When you break it down,
Bad Bunny,
he's got feels.
Do you think,
do you think when artists write songs,
you know how people are like,
oh my God,
that songs about blah, blah, blah.
Do you think that they're just,
do you think they're talking about someone specific?
They're talking about many people.
They're talking about,
I know that.
I need to like listen to more Bad Bunny interviews.
I need to get to
to know this guy
to know,
because maybe it's like,
oh,
he's just kind of writing
about whatever,
or...
I don't think he's writing
about whatever.
I think these sound personal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really?
I was wondering,
maybe the,
the music,
the beat is more,
maybe, like,
more important to him
than the beat on this is so good.
Full disclosure,
I've not listened
to a lot of bad money songs.
Oh, he's so good.
Really?
I haven't either.
I've listened to a couple in there,
but, like,
I haven't listened to these,
So I don't know what these sound like
if they come across really sad.
No, no.
So listening, if I don't speak,
if I don't understand Spanish,
I'm going to think,
oh, this is a really jovial song.
They're sexy and they're also just like,
they kind of remind me of like,
sometimes Romeo Santos.
I don't know if you know that is.
What's that?
It's a Bichata singer.
But like, they kind of have this like
really pretty guitar.
And then Bad Bunny, like,
he goes kind of hard with it.
Cool.
He's got like really,
he just, I love his music.
It's going to be nice knowing the context now.
So when I see him singing these songs, I'm going to be like, I know, I know what's going on.
You walk up to him. Bad Bunny, Shane Top from Smoshmouth.
Hey, bad buddy, Shane Top, Reddit stories.
Anyways, wow.
Not from Smoshmouth?
Well, yeah.
Reddit stories.
Both.
Chips Ghost.
Reddit stories, Smoshmouth.
Try not to laugh.
Most annoying kid at school.
Anyways.
I'm going to pull out some weird old ones.
Leo Connell.
What's up? Shane Top from every blank ever.
Anyways.
Jesus.
I'm Anali Han Cantor from T&TL.
That's tried not too loud.
When you're in the stool, you hold water in your mouth for 30 seconds.
And if you get bounced out, you got to go.
And sometimes we do the thing called blind pairs.
You get it.
All right.
Hey, Shane Top, eat it or eat it.
What's up?
Adios, Amigo.
Oh, God.
Jesus Christ.
Do you think I'm curious and leave a comment if this is true?
It's got to be that even though we're,
they're reading the translation and we're like, oh wow, this is what this means.
It's got to hit so much harder in Spanish, right?
Because there's certain words that like the translation.
I'm going to play you the song after this.
I can't wait and the words themselves.
Like in translation, do you lose some of the impact?
Definitely.
Yeah.
See, that's why I want to learn another language because I'm so sad.
Yes.
And I'm like, damn.
What is that word called when you can't translate it in a different language that's specific to?
Because I think you've talked about this.
I don't know.
I've heard other people talk about this with languages.
Of there's certain words that it's just like there's not a real
translation. Do you guys comment below
what is that word called
when you cannot translate it into
another language? Because I know in Russian
because my husband was translating what we're
going to read later, he was just like there's no
and then he'd find the word and he was like
no, that's not really. He's like, no
that's not it. I think I remember
talking to a friend, this was a long
time ago. I was talking to someone who was
a fluent Spanish speaker and they were
talking about like there's this word that describes
like a feeling and it's like
it's not like it's not love but it's someone
and it's like there's not really a word.
You'd have to use like a whole sentence.
Yes, yes.
And I was like kind of sad.
I remember being like, damn, like it's crazy to not know.
And it's interesting, like language they've, I remember taking a class of communications
class in school.
They're talking about how like language really forms our reality.
Yeah.
And like language is the basis of all culture and everything because it's our understanding
and of so much.
So it's like you look at like everything about a culture.
And a lot of it comes from how the words they use for things
and how they go about describing things.
Which is like it's also very translated in cinema.
Like when I watch a lot of Russian movies with ages,
it's a completely different vibe obviously
because they had a different life growing up.
But like, for example, he was going over the word gentle.
So like, gentle to us means like soft or whatever.
But he's like you can describe a person as gentle.
Yeah.
Like there's a person who's gentle, but it's not gentle in our minds.
And he was like frustrated and going through these things.
And I was like, I think I understand.
So I think that's what's magic about other languages, which is why like it's so important to learn other languages speaking to me and you who speak English.
But like there's just like this other tapped in magic that these other countries are speaking.
And it's so fascinating.
I know.
There's a word in Mandarin called Shao Shui.
And it's so cultural.
It's like how, because in Chinese Asian culture, you really want to treat your elders and your family.
Like you put them first.
And Shao Shun is a word where you can describe someone like, oh, that person is very Shao Shun means like they put their parents first.
They prioritize their parents.
They respect their elders.
It's not even respect.
It's like Shao Shun is.
Like, you do everything you can to make your parents' lives easier.
It's so interesting because I don't think there's that word in English.
There's not a word.
Like, you'd have to describe it in a whole paragraph.
Like, they're very responsible for their parents.
Yeah, very responsible for their parents.
They help pay for certain things.
They give gifts to the parents.
Like, and that's the word.
But of course, we don't have a word for that because we don't give a fuck about.
Yeah. We're really not that good to our, not parents, but like to our elders, I think, that much in this country sometimes.
To be fair, a lot of our elders suck.
Okay. There you go. Hey, man.
There you go. I know.
It's very interesting that like.
But there is cultures. There's so many, there's so many cultures who do totally different things and especially the parents aspect.
but when I was looking up different cultures about women who give birth,
so many different cultures handle it completely different.
There's like a culture in India where a tribe of women come in,
a community of women come in and they do all the self-care on the mom.
They do all the self-care.
And then also in Asian cultures.
Yeah, it's called like duo yue.
So it's like after you give birth, you have this like your mom comes and you do all of these like ritual
or like just things that benefit the person who gave.
birth. Yeah. And I don't think there is that. No. It's, I think it like, I think it really
translates to like, do I mean sitting. So you're like sitting. Also, they're,
are, like, am I wrong, but they're not really like, they're not focused so hard on the baby as much,
like the partner is and the other family is? And, and the, the, the, the, the mother is literally,
um, like, like, like,
refueling herself.
Yes, she's taking care of.
Yes, people are taking care of her.
I think there's also like you don't wash your hair for a month.
Oh, wow.
Like you literally can't do anything physical and you're sitting.
And you have to eat certain meals.
Mm-hmm.
And you're being taken care of.
I was looking into that because I was like, that sounds awesome.
I think there are like facilities now.
There are facilities.
I honestly think,
Yes, it's culture, but also it's like it's your decision how you want to do things, but it's wild.
But there is like very different views and like normal practices across the world.
It's interesting when you learn about other stuff of just like it makes you question everything that we do and be like, oh, this is not this is what our small little pocket of the world decided is normal.
And so it's kind of important to realize like how different it is.
I just think it's so important and be curious.
Like you say you go to another country and you're like, oh, I feel so dumb.
But it's like, great.
Go there and be curious.
Oh, for sure.
I don't have to go another country to know that I'm done.
Yeah, I wake up.
I wake up.
I'm dumb.
But it is absolutely fascinating wherever I've traveled and just being like how different every small little thing can be.
Yeah.
Like especially like dining anywhere.
Yeah.
Going and getting food anywhere in the world, you're just like, wow, all the practice.
are so different even in the small sun.
Like going to a Chinese restaurant, we have a lazy Susan and everyone shares like family
style.
And then I think sometimes people are like, oh, you don't order your own entree.
Everything is family style.
I love family style.
Me too.
Me too.
And then I've gone to dinners with other people who they are like, I will never share my
entree.
Yeah.
I'm like, okay.
Those people are not my friends.
Okay.
Okay.
We're going to move on to a different language.
here. Tagalog.
Tagalog.
Spelt T-A-G-A-L-O-G.
Yes.
I was saying, my dumb ass was saying tagalog for...
It's not a Girl Scout cookie.
It's not a Girl Scout cookie.
None of us have actually...
I don't think I could...
I don't know if I...
I've probably heard people speak it,
but I wouldn't be able to recognize it.
Well, Selina's here. She's fluent and she's going to tell us.
Okay, so it's a lot like Spanish in that each...
syllable is pronounced.
One way.
It's got its...
And it's like the consistency of the vowels.
Okay.
Is like E is A.
A is A.
Okay.
It's like A E-O-U.
Uh-huh.
I also spelled or I wrote it phonetically in case it was hard, but I'll let you guys
try this first.
This is from a famous movie scene.
So this is very dramatic.
Okay.
This is super dramatic.
It's short, but it's dramatic.
Who should take person one and who should take?
person two you cast it um Olivia you take person one okay okay Shane you take person two

You're nothing but a second rate trying hard.
Copycat.
Whoa.

So this movie's about like a music situation.
What's the movie called?
I actually don't know.
I just know it.
You just know that it's famous.
That line is like people.
So plenty of people, because I know we have a lot of listeners and watches.
Didn't we have a watch party in the Philippines?
Yes.
For Smosh Hospital, there was a watch party in the Philippines.
I think we have a lot of Filipino fans.
I love it.
So now we pissed them all off with our horrible pronunciation of everything.
I want to send you something right now.
Okay.
Maybe we're wrong, but I bet they appreciate us trying.
So, Selena, you wrote it out with a better pronunciation here.
Yeah.

They are actually repeating.
But with that, they...

and I'm not going to do the Cameron Diaz thing.
But I did grow up with a lot of Filipinos.
I haven't been to the Philippines, but I grew up with a lot of Filipinos.
Really?
Yes.
My best friend that I grew up next door to was her mother was from the Philippines.
The Philippines, yeah.
Lumpia.
Bia, adobo.
Uh-huh.
I ate it every single day.
Love it.
Nice.
Okay, translation.
Go ahead, Shane.
Hey friend, listen to me.
This is a true Filipino from the town called Sapegbato, Stony Creek.
Went to L.A., worked to help his mom.
Life was hard, but still fun and full of color, eating with my hands.
The rice, chicken adobo, the Balut sold at the corner.
Raise your glass, my friend, let's drink.
I wonder, is Balut, what is Balut again?
It's a duck egg.
Okay.
It's a duck egg.
There's like a half.
It's like a fetus of an egg in there.
I had, I got to go over to Mythical Kitchen a few months ago and I had Jollybee with Josh and that was awesome.
What is Jolly Bee?
Jollybee is a Filipino fast food chain.
And it was so fucking good.
Every time you say Filipino, I want to say Filipino.
Why?
And I'm sorry.
You can't.
Just because I like, I just grew up with a lot of Filipinos and that's.
It's just like how...
Filipino?
Yeah.
Filipino?
Yeah.
I'll say it with P's.
Yeah.
So in in Tagalog, there are like, we only have 20 letters.
Oh.
We don't use C's, F's, J's, X's.
And I've been saying we should get rid of F.
I've been saying that.
Oh, I love F.
To say these words, you use, if you want the sound, it's pH.
Yeah.
And if you want the J sound, it's H.
But let's get rid of Q.
We don't need it.
And X's.
I'm fine with that.
Ask you a Westian.
Like a V, it's like a B.
Yep.
Like instead of like Victor, it's like Victor.
Or like Velcro, it's like Velcro.
Oh.
Love that.
That's so interesting.

You know?
It's funny.
Until like we were talking about this, Selena, I don't think I've ever heard.
So many people speak other languages and I never hear them speaking.
Wait, I'm so excited for this one, too.
What is this?
This is Russian?
Oh, shit.
Hold on.
Oh, my God.
This is like...
Oh, I am...
Okay, so you wrote something in Mandarin.
No, yes.
I also want you guys to say the phrase.
That one up there is important that you say this.
Okay.
Yeah, let's...
Are we doing Mandarin?
We're not doing Russian?
We'll do Russian, but we'll do it.
We'll do it.
Now, my pronunciation of this is going to be awful.
Okay.
Because Mandarin's a lot of like, it's not just...
There's a lot of like...
Yeah, yeah, inflections.
Yeah, and I, okay.
All right.
I'm going to butcher this so you know.
How,
how,
how heng, ke, ah,
woshi,
y,
a,
sao,
me,
washi,
a shale me,
me,
me,
she a gnao,
how horrible was that?
It was good.
The first three words were good.
Did I say completely different words?
Yeah
God damn
This is how I would say it
I want to hear
Okay okay
Okay
So how I'm very cute
I'm a
Cao me
I'm a small me
Shane is a niao
Yeah baby
So it means hello everyone
I am very cute
I'm a strawberry
And I'm a little
sister
Shane is
A Pee
What did I end up saying something different?
No.
No, you said Shane is a peepee.
I said Shane is a pee pee.
It just sounded all like bad.
It just sounded horrible.
Horrible.
If I was anywhere around people who spoke Mandarin, they'd be like, stop talking to me, dude.
Would they?
They would just be like, what are you saying?
For example, like my name is actually, okay, like, shui chiao means sleep.
Say sui chow.
Sway chow.
Sway chow.
Okay.
And then say.
Sway chow.
Sway chow.
Sway chow.
Sway chow means dumpling.
Shue chow means sleep.
Are they written the same?
No.
Okay.
But they sound like...
It's the way you're saying it is different, but they're not written the same, but the way you're saying it sounds the same, but it's different.
Like my name is Swaymu.
That's my name.
Sway mou.
Sway mu.
Yeah.
And then Sway mou means water buffalo.
Does your name have...
It has nothing to do with that.
Sway moo.
It's just a...
So Swaymoo is Olivia
Sway or just Olivia
Sway or just Olivia. Okay. And then
Swaymoo. Swaymu.
Swaymu is water buffalo.
Swaymoo.
Yeah.
Like, Sue chow is sleep.
Sway chow is dumpling.
That's incredible.
It's like, I want to go to sleep.
I want to sleep. I want a dumpling.
Sleep and dumpling.
Oh my God.
Sleep and dumpling.
If I'm ever in China and I'm so tired,
People just keep giving me dumplings.
I know.
I'm like, I don't want a dumpling.
I got gifted this amazing baby book that I read to Cole at night.
I think it's called My Little Dumpling or something.
And it's her parents are promising her dumplings in the morning.
And she's like, I want a dumpling now.
And they're like, go to sleep.
So she goes to sleep.
And she has this dream that she opens up the store.
And there's this woman cooking dumplings.
And she's like, and she puts her in the dumpling and wraps her up.
And she's like, no.
Don't eat me.
And the woman's like, ah.
Oh, my God.
It's scary.
This is a children's book?
Yeah.
And then she doesn't eat her.
She doesn't eat her.
And then she goes, okay, I'll put you back.
And she puts her back to bed.
And then she wakes up and she goes, I want dumplings.
And the whole dream is like her being eaten as a dumpling.
Whoa.
It's kind of like.
It's great, though.
I kind of love it.
I love a little scary books.
Okay.
Frightened.
Anyways, my son's having a great time.
And your son's like freaking the fuck out.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't want to be eaten mom.
No, he's just trying to eat.
a book. He's not listening to it yet.
That amazes me about the inflection.
Yeah, do this one. Oh, shit.
Let me try this. This is a song.
First two sentences.
Amanda can try it.
Pei you, cool, can look,

It's like, I cannot describe it.
That's okay.
You have to learn the language.
It's like, it's like, you basically what we're saying is you cannot tell it promptly,
blind read languages.
You have to learn them.
Q is like, ch.

Okay.
So this is what you just wrote down.
Yes.
This is a song that if you grew up in, you know, the 2000s and watched this TV show.
Yes.
How do you know?
How you watched meteor shower?
This is Meteor Garden, yeah.
What is a song?
So it means accompany you to watch the meteor shower falling on this earth.
Let your tears fall on my shoulder.
Need you to believe in my love.
Only willing to be brave for you, you will see where happiness lies.
Wow.
So this is a song that was part of a show or just a...
Yeah, it's a part of this like boy group called F4.
It's like Meteor Garden.
That was huge in the Philippines.
Really?
When I was growing up.
Because my TikTok algorithm is showing me a lot of F4.
Are they still a band?
They've recently performed together.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
And like I loved them.
Like there was even a Korean drama that was like a remake of this called Boys Over Flowers.
Le Mien Ho.
Do you all know Leman Ho?
Oh my God.
Jerry Yan, Lehmann Ho, they were like the heartthrobs of this show and they were like different versions of the show.
And they also did a remake because it's just so popular.
Wow.
And this song is just like reappearing on TikTok again.
That's weird.
These guys have not, like, aged and they just still, and this, it's crazy.
It's so good.
How?
They have so many hits like this song.
Damn.
I have to play it for you guys.
I really want to hear it.
I woke up, like, singing the song in my head.
No way.
And they're called F4.
Meteor garden, meteor shower.
Meteor garden.
And I love that Selena knows about this.
It was huge in the Philippines when I was growing up.
The Taiwanese version?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's so good.
Good.
Damn.
I know.
It's like international show.
That's why I love this episode right now, because I'm learning so much.
Yeah.
This is incredible.
Well, that's really hard.
That was hard.
Oh, God.
Okay, so now we have Russian.
Do we want to do just the middle paragraph?
So I want to read this.
This is a song.
Okay, so this is a poem.
Okay.
This is a Russian poem that was put into a movie, like a three-hour movie, and this woman is singing it.
Okay.
And I learned a lot about it.
I really struggle with the pronunciation of things because I'm not kidding.
Like, my mouth doesn't do that because I haven't practiced like that.
Yeah.
So I'm not really going to sing the song, but it's,
you with me
the

Do you guys want to try?
The stakes are so much higher for you
Of course.
And you know what?
I am happy to be the fool right now.
Shto
Nishio
Nikad
Kada
in Storkov
Tishin
Nye
Nepra.
So when they're dashes,
it's one word.
So pra
You do's one word.
Oh, oh, okay.
Nia pra prayut,
not, na, me,
oh, na, na, me,
hallelujah.
Yeah, and that's hallelujah.
I was assuming,
is that hallelujah?
Yep.
Okay.
So that's,
he sent us obviously the whole,
what is,
I got to hear the song.
The whole poem.
Oh, it's a poem.
Not a song.
It's a poem,
but in the movie,
this woman,
this woman sings it.
I can play it for you guys after.
If you guys want.
So what we just sang and,
I got kind of the, so there's like a literal translation
and then there's a poetic translation.
This is the poetic translation.
I like the fact that you don't feel ashamed
as you, before my eyes, embrace another.
I like the fact that I will not be damned to hell
for kissing someone else with Arda.
That you would never use my tender name in vain
that in silence of the church's towers
will never get to hear the sweet refrain
of hallelujah sung somewhere above us.
I'm not sure, is that the translation for the second paragraph?
Maybe it is.
Because this is the first one.
Oh, the first one?
The first one is so good.
I like the fact that you're not mad about me.
I like the fact that I'm not mad for you
and that the globe of planet Earth is grounded
and will not drift away beneath our shoes.
I like the fact that I can laugh here loudly,
not play with words, feel unashamed and loose,
and never flush with stifling waves above me
when we brush sleeves and not need an excuse.
So I asked him, I was like, what is this about?
So the main poem is that this was like a long lost love that is broken up.
And this is my husband's translation on the poem.
Long lost love that was broken up.
You've lived other lives.
You see them in public.
And you're reminded what you loved about them.
And her thing is she loves that this person isn't like, I have to be with you or I'm going to die.
She likes that this person's like, I like that you're not speaking my name in life,
before death.
We're just kind of...
I like that you can touch my sleeve
and we can move past each other
and you're not like holding on to me.
I like that you...
And this is where the gentle comes in,
but like...
Oh.
It's not that the person's gentle,
but I like that there's like a...
Softness?
It's not even...
I tried.
It's soft.
There's not like a right word for it,
but it is...
I feel like I can understand.
It's like an open, soft,
tenderness.
A tenderness.
A tenderness.
Yes.
It's basically like...
And I broke it down.
I was like, so...
It's a long-lost love
that she just saw
and she's reminded that she loves
how independent that person was of her.
That they just...
It reminds me of that movie, past lives.
Past lives. Oh, my God.
That movie is so incredible.
So, yeah, this is a...
Interesting.
This is a poem that an actor sang in a movie.
What movie is this?
What movie is it?
He messaged.
It has me wondering...
I think it's in the email.
When they have words like ardor and stuff,
I'm like, what was the, like,
what does so much of this mean in Russian, you know?
That's where, like, I really want to learn other languages because I'm, like, sad that I'm like, I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't get to know.
Yeah.
Well, guys, maybe my goal is by the end of this year, I'll be able to, like, carry on some sentences and maybe be able to speak better Russian.
Well, if we ever have a guest who speaks Russian, we got to have you.
Oh, my God.
I also had a word in English that other people might understand.
What's up?
Like Riz.
Yeah.
Okay, that's all.
Riz is probably hard to, well, that's charisma.
I know, but then how do you explain that to someone who doesn't know?
I mean, slang probably is so hard to.
Yeah, slang is hard.
Yeah.
Like.
Riz.
It does remind me of when we were in Japan.
I think I told this story already when we were in Japan.
And then we saw a bunch of like school children walking past.
They're probably all like 12, 13.
And Courtney did the like 6-7 thing.
And a couple of these Japanese kids were like,
six, seven.
It was so funny.
We were like, oh my God, it's everywhere.
It's everywhere.
I don't get it.
Mas so menos.
That's like, yeah, I'm so-so in Spanish.
And like, me bien, it's like, mazumenos.
That's like a thing you were doing when you were younger.
Mas-o-me-a-e.
Anyways.
Well.
Wow.
Put in the comments.
Listen, guys, we're not perfect.
But we're curious, we want to learn, and my Russian, my God, is going to get.
This is good for me to watch back to and go, wow.
It's going to be crazy when we do an episode entirely in Mandarin.
I know, because we're very Chinese now.
Yeah.
I am not.
I'm not good at that.
I know that by now of this airing, the Broncos most likely have lost.
Oh, my God.
Wait, you're predicting that?
You're going to Colorado with that vibe?
Why?
Why are you doing that?
awesome. It's going to be fun to be there. I don't care if they lose or not.
They probably lost, look, here's the thing. If by some miracle, the Broncos do win the Super Bowl,
I will get a perm. Yeah, this is the thing. I can't wait for that time. That's the thing that I've said.
It's a promise I've made. I've never. You have to grow out your hair, though. I will grow out my hair and I'll get a perm.
I think you would look great with a perm. Thank you. I don't know what it will look like.
And if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, you'll go platinum.
Yeah. So if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, you'll go platinum. Yeah. So if the Patriots are,
win the Super Bowl, I might go platinum.
You'll go platinum.
Intense spray tan, go platinum.
Really?
I don't know.
Oh my God.
Talk about like the 2000s in Massachusetts.
And my eyebrows are going to be real thin.
Real thin.
And that's going to come back.
If both of those teams win, I will get a BBL.
Okay.
Okay, so Olivia's never getting a BPL.
First time in history, two teams win the Super Bowl.
And they're both from the AFC.
And I get a BBL.
Okay.
Okay.
So those promises have been made.
We'll see what happens as of right now.
But one of our teams will go to the Super Bowl.
How cool is that?
I'm going to have to drop so much money to platinum my hair.
No, just do it a box die.
No, I've been told don't.
No?
I've been told don't.
You have so much hair.
And just let me perm your hair.
No.
Okay.
What?
You're just agreeing?
I'm going to go.
I'm going to go to a place.
And I can go to my place.
I'll perm it.
You have a, you have a studio?
She has a permit for perms.
You have a perm, a permit.
I just put your hair, like roll it in like little, like little carrot, little baby carrots.
Roll it and then put some steam on it.
Okay.
You know.
Great.
Okay.
And then eat you like a little dumpling.
Okay.
Well.
This has been lovely.
Thank you for watching to all of our bilingual fans out there.
We love you.
We love you.
We love you.
Olivia, thank you for bringing Mandarin and teaching us.
Thank you so much.
Thank you guys for bringing.
Russian, bad bunny.
Thank you. I think I bring a little
bad bunny to every video. Well,
we're going to shut this off and play some
bad buddy. Bye guys.
Bye.
