James: Say something with an Irish accent.
Morgan: We're discussing your M...
James: The traditional Irish jig of Ireland.
Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel.
I have another guest with me today
and it's not that often that I have a guest
but I am here in LA.
I thought when I'm in America,
surrounded by Americans doing British accents at me
and asking me to say things in a British accent,
it's the perfect opportunity to do... Morgan: But I'm pretty good.
Morgan: All right. James: This is what I mean.
I thought now it would be a really good opportunity
to do a British versus American accent challenge.
So what we have is a list of words.
Morgan: Correct.
James: and some questions.
Morgan: Should I have introduced myself?
James: Yes
Morgan: Well, hello World!
James World! James: James World!
Morgan: James, you don't remember that? James: James World.
James: No, I thought we're just making up a theme tune.
Morgan: No, that was an actual cartoon.
It's Wally's World this--
Okay whatever, Welcome to James world
and I'm here just existing in it.
I'm Morgan Lynzi and I have a YouTube channel,
youtube.com/MorganLynzi.
James: Morgan Lynzi, which,
of course, we'll link down below for you all. Morgan: Yeah.
Morgan: And we're both in ICON Network together.
James: As I was saying, I've got quite a few words
that I'm gonna point at
and I'll write down the bottom for you guys Morgan: Okay.
and I'm gonna get Morgan to pronounce it first
James: in how Americans will pronounce it. Morgan: Okay.
We're gonna say the proper way of pronouncing the word
and then I have a few questions after.
So let's get right into it. Morgan: Yeah! I'm excited.
James: So the first word.
Morgan: I would say it, I do both.
'Ant' and 'Auhnt'.
James: Okay so I say 'Auhnt' or 'Auhntie', I never say 'Aunt'
James & Morgan: 'Ant'.
James: Which is obviously an insect. Morgan: Yeah.
James: and not someone in the family-- Morgan: Very-- nasally.
Oh, my God!
James: I think 'Auhnt' sounds a bit posh.
James: It sounds a bit Morgan: Yeah.
like Disney, like you're wicked auntie.
Morgan: My wicked auntie.
James: Oh, my God.
Morgan: This is going absolutely swell. James: Okay
Yeah, the next word is...
I don't think we say that different?
Morgan: Roof. James: Roof.
This one.
Morgan: I do both again 'Root' and 'Raout'. James: Yeah.
James: 'Root', I don't get 'Raout'.
James: Why is it 'Rauot'? Morgan: I think I always heard to say 'Root'
because I used the GPS all the time
and she says proceed to the 'Root', so. James: Oh, is your GPS English?
Morgan: No! She's American but she says 'Root' James: Oh.
because she can't pronounce lots of... James: 'Root'.
James: Like the Mr. Sam kind of thing. Morgan: Yeah the consonants, yeah it's,
Morgan: like too many consonants cannot in the end... James: Too many. Rare...
James: Okay so the next word.
Morgan: Wash
James: Wash Morgan: We agree on that one.
James: Yeah it's pretty much the same, nothing really different.
Okay this one.
Morgan: This is something that's different for every American though.
James: Yeah, oh really? Morgan: Yeah.
'Karmel' or 'Cara-mel'.
James: I said 'Cara-mel' and I don't understand why --
Morgan: There's clearly two A's so therefore it should be James: It should be
James & Morgan: 'Cara-mel'
James: So where did 'Karmel' come from?
Morgan: 'Cause we just wanna 'Karmel'. James: 'Karmel'.
Morgan: You wanna be extra lazy.
You just put some 'Karmel' on the fries, gator. James: 'Karmel'.
James: Actually going from that word there,
I want to take you to this word.
Now this is the one I know all English people...
it'd just wreck our brains like why Morgan: What is it?
James: do Americans pronounce it like this?
Morgan: Did they misspell this word? James: This word.
James: I think they spelled it wrong. Morgan: It's just 'Aluminium'.
James: But how would you say that word?
Morgan: 'Aluminum'. James: 'Aluminium'. A-lu-mi-nium.
I'm hopefully pointing to the word down there, I don't know if I'm gonna put it yet.
Morgan: 'Aluminum'. James: 'Aluminium'.
Morgan: 'Aluminum.' A-lu-mi-num. James: Aluminium foil.
James: Aluminium. And it sounds good in American accent as well.
Morgan: Aluminium.
James: Okay this one.
Morgan: 'Uhn-velope' James: 'En-velope'.
Now I think I say that weird.
Morgan: 'En-velope'. James: 'En-velope'.
James: Maybe-- Morgan: Let me 'Envelope' my arms around you.
James: I've heard English people saying 'Uhn-velope'-- Morgan: That is the creepiest--
Morgan: Man down! James: Oh, my mic is just gone.
Morgan: 'Water', 'Wa-ter'.
James: Okay, now I know I say this wrong
James: in England it is 'Wahter'. Morgan: 'Wahter'.
but I say it as 'Water' but then I'm from the south, Morgan: 'Wa'...
which isn't really making sense
but I don't know why I just don't pronounce my 'Ts'.
Sometimes I do sometimes I don't.
Morgan: and you were just calling me about the T's James: Yeah, I did...
James: But no, because Morgan: 'Water'.
when Americans do an, like try and do an English accent,
they don't pronounce the D's.
Like you said, like 'Video'
that doesn't mean anything.
and we pronounce the 'Ds' in 'Video'
but it's the "Wa-er' or 'Waa-' instead of 'Watch'.
Morgan: But there's like a specific reason
that doesn't pronounce D's, right? James: I don't think there is.
Morgan: Really? James: Mm.
Are you sure? James: I think so.
Okay this one.
Morgan: 'May-neez' James: 'May-neez', 'May-yo-neez'.
It's kind of the same,
I feel like we just long it out a little bit -- Morgan: Yeah, 'May-yo-naise'.
James: 'May-yo-naise' or 'Mayo', do you say 'Mayo'? Morgan: Just way too odd.
Morgan: I say 'Mayo'. Yeah. James: Yeah 'Mayo'.Yeah.
Oh no, this one first of all,
Morgan: Oh again, this is something that goes both ways.
I feel like the people who are from...
New Orleans will say 'New Orlins' James: That place, yeah.
and then everybody else will say-- Hi, friend! James: 'New Orleens'.
We see a friend over there.
What do you guys say? James: 'New Orleens', yeah.
Morgan: You're saying 'New Orleens' James: But I have heard
the English people say 'New Orlins'. Yeah. Morgan: Yeah, I think
when you're from there it's 'New Orlins' James: Yeah.
Morgan: It's all this 'New Orlins' like-- James: So that's when I feel
like we don't have a say because it's an American place Morgan: Yeah.
James: Surely Americans know
how to pronounce their own location. Morgan: Yeah.
But how do you say 'Barbados'?
Morgan: 'Barbados'. James: 'Barbados'.
I've heard Americans say 'Barba-dos'. Yeah. Morgan: I know but we also say
'Cari-bbean' and 'Cuh-rib-bbean'.
James: Yeah, we say it, yeah. Morgan: But it's 'Caribbean'.
James: 'Caribbean' isn't it? Morgan: It's not 'Cuh-rib-bbean'
James: ''Cuh-rib-bbean'.
Morgan: I went to the 'Cuh-rib-bbean' and I took a cruise ship and it was amazing.
James: Amazing. Rih... I think I saw Ri-Hanna.
James: So they are the words done.
There were few kind of stupid ones in there
but I was just like you know-- Morgan: That's beyond the tail work.
Yeah, a little bit silly.
So we're gonna move on to the questions Morgan: Yay!
James: Question number one.
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
Morgan: TP.
It's not a riddle, it's not a riddle.
James: I don't know.
Morgan: TP. Yeah. James: I swear, we call it TP-ing as well.
I-- Let me know down below
if there's a different English way of saying that. Morgan: Use TP in the house.
James: Okay, question number two.
What is the bug that when you touch it,
it curls into a ball?
Morgan: A roly-poly? James: A woodlouse.
Morgan: Ew! That sounds gross. James: Or-- See everyone else calls it chitty bug!
Morgan: A Louse? James: Oh yeah.
Morgan: Like a Head louse. James: Like a Head-- Yeah.
Woodlouse or-- But we call them lice,
head lice with louse. Morgan: Yeah, head lice.
James: Or chitty bug, I don't know if that's the same one
but I remember calling it chitty bug. Morgan: We call it roly-poly.
James: Roly-poly, that's cute.
Morgan: Oh look at the roly-poly-- James: I prefer that. I'll check with that.
James: What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
Morgan: Are we talking about champagne or soda? James: I think just in general.
... were talking about Soda.
I think we don't really have a name for it. Morgan: Isn't, it's not Pop?
James: No, I have heard people say it or like Fizz
but I think we don't tend to... Morgan: Fizz!
I think it's just me and my family and my group of friends
James: but we tend to call it by a brand name, Morgan: Yeah.
like we won't be like, "Would you like a soda?" Morgan: Oh.
We'd be like, "Oh, do you want a coke?" Or do you want a sprite?
James: Or like we won't say in general, Morgan: Yeah.
do you want a soda? 'Cause it'd be like... Morgan: Do you wanna drink soda?
James: ...drink some water or are you asking me in general
if I want to drink that kind of drink. Morgan: Yeah so you wouldn't say,
do you want water or soda?
You'd say do want water or... James: I personally say,
"Do you want, would you like water?" Morgan: You are specific.
James: Or whatever that specific brand is? Morgan: That makes sense.
I think it's kind of the same here as well. James: Yeah.
James: I think that might just be me though.
What do you call gym shoes?
Morgan: Sneakers.
James: Trainers. Morgan: Okay.
James: But we are calling them sneakers more and more.
Morgan: Yeah, probably because of the whole, James: Yeah, a lot of people say,
Morgan: like sneaker had craze. James: sneakers. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
It's not guys on YouTube that do that, I've noticed. James: Yeah.
James: It's a really big thing now all kicks.
but not cool enough to say kicks. Morgan: Hmm.
What do you call the kind of spider or spider-like creature
that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
Morgan: A daddy long-legs?
James: Yeah, we call it that too.
Morgan: A black widow?
James: We don't have them in England, though. Morgan: You don't have daddy long-legs?
James: Not black, no black widow. Morgan: Why?
James: Because they're Australian.
Morgan: We have daddy long-legs!
James: I don't have daddy long-legs but not black widows.
Morgan: We have black widows. James: Do you have black widows?
Morgan: Yes, everybody have black widows. James: No!
Morgan: Everyone have black widows, right?
They live in the dark sheds and moisture.
James: Yeah, but I thought they were the super poisonous
like if they bite you, that's it,
you're dead and they live in your toilet.
James: No? Morgan: It'd bite your ass.
Yeah, did they... Morgan: No! That's horrible.
Morgan: No, they're like black and they've got the red...
James: Yeah, I swear we don't have those.
They have-- I swear they have to live in particular climate
that's muggy kind of hot. Morgan: Yeah like in a garage or a closet.
James: What do you call it when the rain falls, while the sun is shining?
Morgan: Raining? James: Raining while the sun is shining?
These sound like those horrible logic questions, James: Why is that?
you taking class. James: I thought that these are a trick.
Morgan: They probably are.
James: I feel like these have some kind of deep meaning behind them.
Morgan: Like you know, Mensa? It has stuff like these or those.
James: And someone is judging us now. Morgan: Yeah.
James: Judging us for a really low IQ. Morgan: Yeah, idiots. Idiots.
Okay I gotta stop these questions.
But let's talk children's TV. Now we have Nickelodeon.
Morgan: Oh you just did? Okay, good. James: It's great. Yeah, so it was
like Sister Sister Sabrina, Doug
like all the good stuff. Morgan: So 90's, no one,
like 90's is all across the world. James: Yeah, I think it's when we really started getting
like American pop, like a good American TV. Morgan: Oh!
But I used to live in America
Morgan: Yes, you really are. James: when I was really really young. I lived in Texas
and there are a few things we loved. Morgan: Wow!
James: So the Power Rangers had just come out in America while I was there.
Morgan: Uh-huh. That was incredible.
And I don't know if you know a program called Pappy drew-it.
Morgan: It sounds very familiar. James: Yeah.
It was like a really cool art program. So kind of like Art attack in--
Morgan: Yeah! Yeah, yeah. James: Yeah, but Pappy drew-it
and it was like this old man, Pappy. Morgan: Yeah, Pappy!
James: Yeah and like things would come to light
and you jump into the pictures and stuff. Morgan: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Pee-wee's Playhouse was one that I think-- Yeah! Morgan: Pee-wee's Playhouse was my favorite!
James: It was so, so good. I remember the theme--
Morgan: So bizarre but so good.
James: It's little bit creepy.
Morgan: Just a little bit.
It's like Hawaiian.
James: Who came up with that character?
I mean, who came up with this Pee-wee guy?
Morgan: Sounds like...
James: Oh he's so annoying.
Oh, he's really annoying now.
Morgan: What?
James: He just spanked that horse. Morgan: Yes, he did.
James: Well yeah, that was the kind of challenge.
We kind of gave up on it because it was a little bit silly.
I love coming to America. Oh, I just tapped my mic.
I love coming to America. I love the American accent.
James: Loving LA so-- Morgan: Where's the--
Are you still wearing your mic? Morgan: I, I took it off.
Don't wanna be part of this anymore.
James: ...Loving LA. So yeah, it doesn't matter how we talk.
It's just, you know, we understand each other Morgan: Yeah.
Morgan: Whatever, whatever!
James: Are you coming to London soon? Morgan: Of course.
So yeah, we're gonna hang out and she's gonna put on that awful English accent
and everyone's gonna think she's really weird. Morgan: Whatever, whatever, whatever.
Big thumbs up as usual, if you like it.
