The podcast episode in question is here: th-cam.com/video/CLYXmb3R52Q/w-d-xo.html
Hey Destin, I work in the automotive manufacturing industry in central Alabama and I think the different processes and robotics and stamping presses would be something your audience would find interesting!
Hi there! I can do almost the same thing, well, I'm not as fluent as thay guy, but still pretty good I think. I am 15, and since 5 or 6, I started to train my brain talking backwards. This "training" took like 2 years I think. I can remember that I was with my family in car and I was taking some words from my memory, and pronounce it backwards. I did it to avoid boring moments, and now it's pretty nice to have this skill. I am from Romania, and I think, I have like 300 words that I still remember, and I can pronounce it immediatly backwards. That's it! Thanks for your attention!
SmarterEveryDay when you said the plosives you said the letters that mutate in the Welsh language
Hey Destin! I have a good friend of mine who can do this too! He has a TH-cam channel called Backwords Dude please check him out
Talking backwards, there's an app for that. ;-)
I cant even speak forward lmao
No u?
But you can write? ok cool 😎

@@noell5609 ehhh debatable
@@crippleabatteries5031 why is it trash
@@Magst3r1 Just my opinion. I just think the movie didn’t have a great pace.
8:22 feels like a scene from Tenet
Exactly what I was thinking while watching it.
Okay, I'll spill the beans.
I left it in the BMW.

Can kurt understand backwards speech if it's spoken to him? can he mentally re-reverse a word back to its original state?
That's a really good question.
TheWizardOfOsborne it might work like a second language, so he probably doesn't need reverse the speech again
No he can't. He said so on the podcast. The podcast's name is No Dumb Questions.
Was thinking this same exact thing. He can put words into reverse, but can he (pun warning) do the reverse of this?
I have a friend that can do this but when I send him a message speaking backwards to know this he said that he can't understand people talking backwards
imagine this guy in Tenet, hes the best translator in the invers world :D
Whats that movie about?
Real lingual "TENET"
@@thecloneguyz you watched movie or not
@@thecloneguyz Not even Nolan knows just watch inception again.
He is three moves ahead of us 😂
"This might be akward"
Zooms in on his face

"What are we doing if we're not trying to do it right" idk why but I love that sentence.
That was my biggest take away from this video: that attitude.
@@educatainment1799 exactly
We are trying to get it done

It was a perfect kernel of truth.
I'm never showing Destin any party tricks. He'll make me repeat them with heavy weaponry, half his live stock, and worst of all - banjos.
Nitay A. If your skill is to hunt accurately, rip live stock
Nitay A. The banjo wasn’t his
This is accurate
My trick is playing News Hooper Marro Hoes Tree.
@@dwang663 hsooow
8:48 I love how he says "FIRE!" and everyone just stops lol
Destin laughing in reversed audio is probably the best sound
I've ever heard.
Can he understand a backward recording?
Joao Vitor P. Moraes Asking the real question here
i think with practice, he probably can, and he will need less practice than the rest of us.
In the podcast he said he couldn't (the podcast: 'No dumb questions')
He was at least able to tell when Destin mis-said something "backwards"
I guess it's the same as with mine mirror writing. I can write it but I'm not able to read what I wrote
My Alien from Area 51 teaching me his language
LMAO 😂😂😂
@Kevin G he's speaking the sin language
Its Not From area 51 Everyone got Desperate becuase They dont know what the U.S. has so Somebody Said Aliens Becuase hes Butthurt he doesnt know
@@totifaddye6587 r/woooosh
*Hes speaking the language of the gods.*
3:59 Dude this man's teeth are brighter than my future
He got his teeth whitened just for this video.😉😂
But for real, you're right though😐
His teeth don’t look dark for me.
He has black people teeth.
even mine are lol
"Can you do it while you play your banjo?"
"I've never tried"
Science!
"What are we doing if not trying to do it right?" Best hypothetical question ever!
That's the kind of thing a scientist should say to themselves every day.
I have a feeling you mean "philosophical question". Am I correct? Or maybe "rhetorical"?
Troy Chatting I just read your commentaire while he was saying it, crazy coincidence.
LetoDK .Yes you have a point. I think all of those can work on some level.
"On the outside of your mouth you have lips"
*proceeds to demonstrate how lips work*
😗😮😗😮😗😮
It was extremely informative tbh.
Lmao i was at that part
This sounds like a whole different language entirely
Him: teeth. *points to tongue
Him: tongue. *points to teeth
When he said during the AK ambush it sounded like a Soviet commander yelling commands backwards
So true

Mieh!
I think he voices the Sims

"Dirty fish bowl"
woob shify dirt
So technically he can sing songs backwards, hum a tune backwards and play music backwards keeping the tempo and nuances. That is next level if he can hum notes backwards.
this guy talking backwards sounds like iDubbz talking normally
Cameron , wooooooosshhhhh
Literally though he looked like idubbbz
he even looks like idubbz. with a huge forehead
The Greater Creator whats obamas last name!!!!
@@camopug barack
I'm impressed. That's a really hard skill and he is intelligible even under extreme circumstances
ferrous719 all he’s doing is speaking Australian...
It is so exciting to watch how honestly delighted Destin is by meeting fascination people! No matter how my mood, seeing this make it even better. His glee is like an actual contagion!
I can totally relate to this because when i was in my teenage me and my 2 other brothers were talking backwards in our native language (Pashto). It was really helpful specially in situations when we couldn't speak something in front of other people. It was like another language that no one could understand. But my Mom was always angry at us for speaking like that. Then we completely stopped speaking that way. I can still speak but that fluency has been lost and it has been 6 years since we stopped it
Him speaks backwards:
My chairs starts floating
Ha lol
What has he done
😂😂😂😂
Man this video broke my dyslexia
MedicEne same
MedicEne tank's i learn something today "dyslexia", after read your comment.
Wouldn't it have made it worse?!
(oh but dyslexia is when reading)
MedicEne So a god was into a bra and orders a beer....
That gum you like is coming back in style.
The close up to his mouth uncovered a deep memory of that PBS show Electric Company
He sounds like idubbzzz when its played in reverse
Crab Mafia 😮 wow...and also rip filthy frank and maxmoefoe
He looks like idubbbz too
looks like him too
Hey, That's pretty GOOD
Crab Mafia he kinda looks idubbbz
*Holds up dog*
"God"
Yeah, that's pretty accurate
😂😂
you will pay for that some day
@Loren Nice.
Allah is less than a dog.
Taht si ynnuf
That's absolutely incredible, and nothing shy.
When he talks backwards, it sounds like a mixture of Japanese, Russian, and German.
Yes.
I like how it goes from Sentences to Animals to Music to an AK47 Ambush

@@TerribleTonyShow maybe because the russian language is hard? I don't really get it either. But learning russian as an english speaker is a nightmare
@@moonasha o ok
There is nothing in the entire spectrum of Direct TV that will make me smile like your work! Thank you.
This video just popped into my head while watching the movie TENET!!
thanks Destin
Plot twist, he is talking normal and Dustin is talking backwards and the video is backwards
LE GASP
Directed by nalamayhs thgin .m
oh yeah, its big brain time
So the AK's are just sucking bullets from the bottels?
plot plot twist: life is a backwards simulation
One time, with my moms older computer, we found the microphone and “player” and noticed that it had reverse. We’d speak into it and record, then listen backwards and memorize the backwards sound. Then we’d speak the memorized backwards sound into the recorder and then play THAT in reverse. Sometimes we got it down so well that it almost sounded normal and other times it was absolutely hilarious as to how funny it sounded. Good times!!!
My mom's old phone had a similar app! I used to do the same lol!!
Nice
I did that on my dc with my brother. We learned our names backwards and called those names our “evil sides”
The 45RPM record of "They're Coming To Take Me Away" had the song backwards on the B side, so we learned to sing it that way. We were also amused when playing a reading of "The Little Red Hen" backwards, and kept coming across the sound "baby shnot". We eventually figured out it was "and she did" (a phrase that occurs often in the story) backwards. We'd amuse ourselves by playing it forward "and she did", asking "What'd she do?" "Baby shnot!" Hey, we were teenagers and fun is where you find it.
Kids don't know what they're missing these days! They have too much entertainment. They won't know the joy of having to make do with whatever entertainment they can find.
Awesome video!! I do this all the time on my voice changer app. Not a s quick as this guy but still usually comes out right. Love it!!
Loved it, great episode.

This is so cool! I have long been fascinated by the plasticity of the brain, especially with kids. Years ago I had a kid in my Sunday School class who, at 5 years old, was drawing pictures of people that were better than most of the best high school art students could draw. This kid quit drawing stick figures by the time he was 2 or 3. Muscle structure, shading and everything else was in his pictures. The way he drew was even more fascinating. He continually rotated the page as he drew! Basically he was rotating an image in his head in 3 dimensions like a CAD machine. Very few adults can mentally rotate images to this level much less draw this way. A few years ago I began wondering if you could teach a child some level of mental image rotation if you started early enough. Every month we had memory verses for our 1st through 5th grade Sunday School kids to memorize. At the end of every month the same 3 or 4 out of 20 kids would have the verse memorized. As an experiment, I began turning the page upside down and had the kids read upside down. For several of the kids that soon got too easy so I had them hold it up to the light and read it through the back side of the page. It didn't take too long before even that got too easy for a few so for them it's, turn the page upside down and read it through the back side of the page. An interesting thing happened. At the end of the month, every one of the 20 kids had it memorized! The next month we went back to the normal way of reading and at the end of that month the same 3 or 4 kids had it memorized. When we went back to upside down reading, I introduced a new twist by printing everything out using a, "Sans Forgetica" font. That font leaves out lots of pieces of letters and forces the brain to work harder to fill in the missing pieces. Another interesting, unexpected thing happened. Our little 1st graders who were struggling to read normally, got very good at reading in a very short time. For the kids, this was a challenge they loved doing but it was also interesting how virtually none of their parents would even try.
I must’ve watched this video at least 5 times over the years. Really interesting
He sounded extremely good and clear like if he was almost normal when they replayed him talking backwards while they were shooting AKs
Frank Alcala IKR
Totally, I think volume helps. At 5:45 Leprechaun is said backwards by Destin and is louder/clearer than Kurt (though Destin is just repeating the funny sound he just heard). Kurt's outro also is pretty clear with him loudly signing (though he probably had time to practice before recording that bit).
Frank Alcala Probably because he was forced to articulate so much more and focus because of the noise
One missed phenomenon in the video is that in addition to phonetically speaking backwards, the co-ability to recall the order of words in reverse is also impressive. Just doing that in a 5-6 word sentence is quite challenging. "The dog is in the house"...".house the in is dog the". Impressive? I say so. nitseD sknahT.
Oh man what a brain game.
What amazes me the most is he's doing reverse sentence AND a reverse word structures in his head, on the fly, in seconds. That is a whole new level of impressive.
Thanks Chris!
+ that is boss level skill you got Kurt
+Kurt Quinn you are a beast
Who’s here after Tenet?

Only this is more interesting than .tenenT
This is a new level. Blowing my mind. Respect…including the banjo.
I tried to speak backwards and by mistake I conjured a spirit!
Just awesome. If there is a better use of the internet than Smarter Every Day, I don't know what it is.

Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
Radio Station woah I see what you did there. No matter which way you read it, it's still the same sentence.
No it's not. Look closely.
dude this deserves more likes
WOW that's really crazy really that wow
@TheBoltMaster I did, did I?
Hey Destin, can he understand someone speaking backwards?
Matt Petz It’s like a second language to him probably.
I imagine it'd take a second or two, but probably so.
My brother can speak backwards too and at least he realises when I make mistakes
Nah. I do the same thing where I say words backwards and my friends get annoyed. But when someone says something backwards, I don't understand it until someone says that it's backwards
No way he can
What a fun video! It harolds back to a time when I first tried snowboarding left foot forward. It was the first snow of the year and I hought "heck might as well make hte first run left foot forward!"
IT went better than expected and I had control and made a successful run! THE SECOND RUN I started left foot forward and switch half way down the mountain, and I could FEEL the gears in my head turning and changing and when i tried to switch back, i fell almost immediately and wasn't able to make any further run left foot forward the rest of the year!!!
8:14 sounds like someone from Alabama saying that forwards
