Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Any questions before we move on,
Speaker 1: We've we've got a moment. Anything on your yes? Yes
Speaker 1: up there? Out of all the accents I do, what's
Speaker 1: my favorite? Do you say South African? But I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it? That's amazing. My favorite one to do is
Speaker 1: a South African accent. That's because I just wake up
Speaker 1: every day speaking in another accent, and I choose, um,
Speaker 1: what is my favorite to do? That's an interest. It depends,
Speaker 1: um depends where every time I go to a new country,
Speaker 1: I discover a new accent that I enjoy. It's actually
Speaker 1: a shortcut that I used for learning languages. So, because
Speaker 1: people don't realize this, if you want to learn languages,
Speaker 1: there are two things you have to understand. One language
Speaker 1: is mostly about rhythm, and two you have to be
Speaker 1: willing to be an idiot to learn a new language.
Speaker 1: That's what slows most people down. Like kids, that's white
Speaker 1: kids learn languages so quickly. They just they mimic everything
Speaker 1: you say. You know, so you'd be like, don't touch that.
Speaker 1: Then they like dad, I mean like don't touch that, Dad,
Speaker 1: And you don't you know what I mean? They're not
Speaker 1: like I'm not saying it correctly. They just keep speaking.
Speaker 1: So what I try and do. That's how I learn languages,
Speaker 1: as I start with the accent and then you learn
Speaker 1: the intonation, So it depends. I'm trying to think. I
Speaker 1: think Nigerian is one of my favorites. I love the
Speaker 1: Nigerian accent because like the Nigerian accent does to English
Speaker 1: what English desperately needs. Like English is a very stiff,
Speaker 1: sort of boring language. You know, it's just like, hello,
Speaker 1: my name is Trevor. You know if in English, you're
Speaker 1: just like did you see the traffic outside? It was
Speaker 1: really bad? And you know what I mean? And then
Speaker 1: like when Nigerians come inside, did you see that traffic outside? Up?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you talking about that scene? Have you
Speaker 1: been to something like that? It's like, you know, and
Speaker 1: like Nigerians have the best metaphors and similars that they
Speaker 1: will throw in the like the irritable bout syndrome of
Speaker 1: Ninth Avenue traffic. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. The Daily
