Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:17 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,
Starting point is 00:00:38 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.
Starting point is 00:00:54 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
Starting point is 00:01:28 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.
Starting point is 00:01:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:52 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
Starting point is 00:02:26 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.
Starting point is 00:02:37 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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?
Starting point is 00:03:58 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?
Starting point is 00:04:16 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:43 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Yeah. Yeah. I also enjoy TV. Any specific? Are you watching Task? Of course. I started Task. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:05 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 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...
Starting point is 00:06:10 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?
Starting point is 00:06:25 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 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?
Starting point is 00:06:54 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:28 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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.
Starting point is 00:08:58 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:21 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:09:59 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.
Starting point is 00:10:21 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.
Starting point is 00:10:30 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?
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:10:50 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?
Starting point is 00:11:12 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?
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:12:02 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.
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:41 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.
Starting point is 00:13:32 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.
Starting point is 00:13:52 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.
Starting point is 00:14:37 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.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Wait, really? And I don't know what accent that is. That is. Eggs. Egg. Egg. That's egg? An egg?

Starting point is 00:22:47 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.
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:19 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:25 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.
Starting point is 00:24:40 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.
Starting point is 00:24:49 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.

Starting point is 00:26:58 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:51 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.

Life is a party that one day ends and you were my own.
Starting point is 00:32:15 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,
Starting point is 00:32:24 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,
Starting point is 00:32:34 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
Starting point is 00:32:45 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
Starting point is 00:32:52 about whatever. I think these sound personal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really? I was wondering, maybe the, the music, the beat is more,
Starting point is 00:32:59 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?
Starting point is 00:33:11 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,
Starting point is 00:33:21 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?
Starting point is 00:33:33 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.
Starting point is 00:33:45 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.
Starting point is 00:34:05 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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.
Starting point is 00:34:31 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?
Starting point is 00:34:42 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.
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:13 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
Starting point is 00:35:29 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
Starting point is 00:35:45 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.
Starting point is 00:36:05 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,
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:51 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.
Starting point is 00:37:24 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:13 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.
Starting point is 00:38:48 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
Starting point is 00:39:18 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.
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:09 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.
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:02 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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...
Starting point is 00:41:51 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.
Starting point is 00:42:06 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.
Starting point is 00:42:20 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.

Starting point is 00:43:49 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.

Starting point is 00:50:31 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.
Starting point is 00:50:42 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,

Starting point is 00:51:54 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.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Sway chow. Okay. And then say. Sway chow. Sway chow. Sway chow. Sway chow means dumpling. Shue chow means sleep.
Starting point is 00:52:24 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.
Starting point is 00:52:36 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

Starting point is 00:53:18 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.
Starting point is 00:53:38 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.
Starting point is 00:53:51 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.
Starting point is 00:54:04 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.

Starting point is 00:58:43 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.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Yeah. So I'm not really going to sing the song, but it's, you with me the spokyne a bit a big you,

Starting point is 01:00:31 in Storkov Tishin Nye Nepra. So when they're dashes, it's one word. So pra You do's one word.
Starting point is 01:00:43 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?
Starting point is 01:00:54 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.
Starting point is 01:01:02 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,
Starting point is 01:01:12 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
Starting point is 01:01:32 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.
Starting point is 01:01:48 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.
Starting point is 01:02:06 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.
Starting point is 01:02:35 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,
Starting point is 01:02:50 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.
Starting point is 01:02:56 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.
Starting point is 01:03:03 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...
Starting point is 01:03:13 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?
Starting point is 01:03:31 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.
Starting point is 01:03:47 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.
Starting point is 01:04:09 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.
Starting point is 01:04:23 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.
Starting point is 01:04:41 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.
Starting point is 01:04:58 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.
Starting point is 01:05:16 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?
Starting point is 01:05:33 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.
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:17 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.
Starting point is 01:06:34 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?
Starting point is 01:06:46 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.
Starting point is 01:06:59 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?
Starting point is 01:07:07 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.
