Your friend is so cheerful and the two of you interact so well together! So glad to see you hit 10,000! Keep on climbing Joel! Have a pleasant weekend!
Wow! Jesse is both beautiful and “larny”! Love her S.A. accent! You can almost hear the Dutch influence in the vowels behind the Afrikaans! You guys interact sooo beautifully together! Please have her back, Joel!! But that slang was tough to figure out!
Very fun video! I enjoy seeing you and Lia on your own channels, it gives us a little variety seeing each of you interact with other people (though Joel and Lia will always be my favorite). The "new" thrice weekly I think will be a nice mix - two videos of you together, and 1 of each of you on your own channels. Keep up the great work. I think the minor change in frequency will work out well for the fans, and take some of the work load off both of you. Lia showed us "Joel's Room" in her new house, so that should make those who were thinking you were breaking up the team feel reassured that the channel will continue on.
She’s so 😎 & 😄!!! I loved this video!!! Great angle of the room! That slang was tough for this Texan, but I loved it! If I was visiting South Africa, I would definitely try it out.
❤️💙 Love Jessie!! She has great energy and she's a good match for you! Loved this topic (S African slang). Would love to see more vids like this - maybe talk about darts, cricket, badminton?
Loved it, Joel!! Such a fun and interesting video that I was hoping that there was more by the end. You'll need to try some of the slang out on your trip to LA to really confuse them.
That was a great video Joel. Like your friend, very pretty. I loved the slag tutorial now if only I can remember them. I have to rewatch and take notes. Can’t wait for the next one.🙌👏
When you said that first "ag, shame" immediately i remembered Yolandi saying that to Chappie when he comes home after getting attacked and that just made that scene even sweeter to me.
I love learning those new words! lol Oh and Jesse has absolutely beautiful eyes. Wow! Bedroom eyes! :D That is a compliment...lol Of course so do you Joel! Big brown eyes. :D
Now, just now and now now are interchangeable. Also could be used in the past, present and future tense. Depends on context but very confusing to non saffers.
See! @joelwood! You DO have more friends to fit in the Mini Cooper! (Rachel? Mini Legend?) Can't remember her name but you do have lots of lovely friends. I love Christy too and follow her adventures as well. Love watching you all interact with the people in your lives. Great video (its hard for me to keep up with all the slang) especially the Afrikaans slang! Oh my! Loved it. Thank you for the entertainment. As always! 💛
Jesse, I'm an American who Joel (& Lia) have seen make way too many comments over the past few years, and back in 1/00 I was on a trip to S. Africa, specifically the Cape Town area, staying our nights in Fishoek, and visiting during the day in the Xhosa township of Guguletu, with one evening in the coloured township of Lavender Hill. Before the group came, I flew down (5 days early), ending up in Jo'burg. There, I rented a car and drove up into and through Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls, then over to Chobe N.P. in Botswana, then back to Cape Town. What a beautiful country it is that you call home , as well as that whole part of Africa. Plus, I love the music, whether Afrikaans, Zulu or Xhosa. Or ach as in "Ach, pleez deddy". : )) Although I think I figured the meaning out by context, I don't believe you ever defined "eina".
Joel: do an explanation video (maybe w/ Lia by visiting both) on the differences between a pub & a bar...I always just assumed they were the same thing...
I find that so disheartening, because in the Midwest when someone says bless your heart, they mean...bless your heart. Without any backhanded meaning. As I am learning, I think I'm coming to the realization that a lot of the hospitality and niceness the people talk about from the south isn't real. And that the phrase "Minnesota nice" actually kind of applies to the whole Midwest that we may not be over-the-top sweet in your face and then mean something else, but a quieter kind of niceness that is genuine? Like we are taught if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, rather than say something fake, or insulting but through a smile. Better to be quiet than to be passive aggressive or hypocritical? I do like the South, but this makes me put my guard up a little bit... like all the kind comments might have been sarcastic or trying to play me for some kind of a fool since I'm obviously from another region.
Joel, PLEASE will you and Lia do a video looking at pics on the website PeopleOfWalmart!! It is SO funny and I know you guys would just have a hoot going through all the weird and funny photos. I really want to see you guys' reaction.
I was born in Somerset West and left when I was 3 (with very strong SA accent despite Scottish parents), but I sometimes wish I had stayed longer to at remember the culture more.
Just Now - it happened shortly before this moment. (I have done it) Now - it is happening at this moment (I am about to begin) Now now - it will happen after this is over (after I am done doing this other thing).
I love comparing languages and learning about slang. I have a hard time distinguishing your English accent, Joel, with Jessie's South African accent. Is hers typical of South Africa? Thanks for the fun video. It was nice meeting Jessie.
Hers isn't super strong, as she has English family and she's lived in the UK for a while, but she's back living in South Africa now. I'd say she has a twang!
I think I actually met Jesse briefly many years ago (although her hair was very different). Two of my friends took me to the show. My friends and I had had a fight and I didn't want to be there and we weren't talking. So when I heard her accent I tried to talk to her and tell her a "Seth Effrickaan" joke I'd heard at a South African comedy festival at the Riverside Studios a couple of years before. It went down like a cup of cold sick and she just looked at me and then pointed to where we were supposed to go. It was one of the most embarrassing moments in my recent life and I've always wanted to apologise to her. So, Joel, can you apologise to her from me? even if she doesn't remember it, she still deserves an apology.
How funny, literally 30 seconds before you asked if these came from Afrikaans I was wondering the same thing. Whether they were used during Afrikaans or English conversation.
she reminds me of a younger looking Charlize Theron.. is it just me that sees it?
Now you say it, I can definitely see it!
@@TheJoelWood :)
Oh, that's who she reminds me of!! I couldn't figure it out. Thanks!!
Katie Holmes eyes
@@Blondy321 can see that too!!
She's sweet. Thanks for having her on your channel.
Your friend is so cheerful and the two of you interact so well together! So glad to see you hit 10,000! Keep on climbing Joel! Have a pleasant weekend!
When South Africans go: "Watch it china!!" or "Howzit my china!!" and there is no asian or chinese person within a thousand miles. 😂😂😂
Awww, she is so sweet! It was cool to learn some slang from South Africa! Have a great weekend!🙋🏼♀️
Thanks so much Paula!
I agree 100% So sweet.. I followed her on instagram! Most of the South African slang was crazy! Thanks for the post.. Loved it
Have S.A boss's and still to this day my favourite to say to them is "fok die kak ek loop" 🤣
I’m excited to learn about South African slang I’m happy to learn more 😊
Yay, glad you're excited!
Me too I’m also learning Afrikaans 🇿🇦
Love you LEGEND... I’m exited for the new merch.... hi Jesse!!!
Aw thank you!!
Always fun to get together with an old friend. Great video, loved it ! 💕🐝
Really enjoyed this video and your friend. Thank you for the lesson, I like learning new words
Aw thanks Kelly!
Loved this! Can't wait for more about South Africa!
I love South African English! The accent is lovely -- clear and cute! The people are very nice also!
Wow! Jesse is both beautiful and “larny”! Love her S.A. accent! You can almost hear the Dutch influence in the vowels behind the Afrikaans! You guys interact sooo beautifully together! Please have her back, Joel!! But that slang was tough to figure out!
Jesse is so lovely!!! Great video Joel!
What a lekker video! Such great energy both of you. Thanks from an expat South African in the great land down under 🇦🇺
I have South African friends, and Just now and now now drove me crazy when we first met!! 😂😂😂
Wow, nice to meet you. She is so sweet. Those words are so "forign" to me. This video was very educational. Thanks.
You're so welcome, thanks for watching Terrie!
Really like learning about other cultures and love the South African accent! Love from Scotland 🏴

This is really fun...love Jessie. She’s a great person and cute. The slang is incredible!!! Lol. Get well Joel!! ❤️🇨🇦
Jessie is a boy...if it's got an apple it';s got a banana .. sorry
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers

Jesse is adorable! Hope you two have a blast. Enjoyed the slang. Tyfs.
She's great!!
Now is now, just now is now-now and now-now is now-now. You have to learn this kak bru.
She’s so 😎 & 😄!!! I loved this video!!! Great angle of the room! That slang was tough for this Texan, but I loved it! If I was visiting South Africa, I would definitely try it out.
She is!! Thank you!
Pronounce this word "cav ntwana"
This made me smile. You two are cute. I loved learning South African slang!
Fun!!
Thank you!

Thank you! She is isn't she!
Your friend is a cutie. Love her dimples, ❤️
She is!
Love learning about other cultures! ..Great video! 😄🇺🇸💕
Same!!!
Hadez mara Americans will never understand South Africa.
Loved it, Joel!! Such a fun and interesting video that I was hoping that there was more by the end. You'll need to try some of the slang out on your trip to LA to really confuse them.
Aw that's great to hear, I cut so much out coz it was nearly 30 minutes long!
Watching Trevor Noah & @joelwood notifies me he gonna guess South African slang!!! LOL
haha thanks for coming over!
That was a great video Joel. Like your friend, very pretty. I loved the slag tutorial now if only I can remember them. I have to rewatch and take notes. Can’t wait for the next one.🙌👏
Thanks so much Amy!
Happy and light . Well played mate and the goose
Oh shes fun!! Those are some of the oddest slang terms I've heard lol. I'm so interested in South African culture. Ag shame
Yeah she's good fun!
It is nice that you had your friend visit and you did good dealing with her. You would make a good talk show host.🙂
Aw thanks so much!
Joel this is very educational and I think it was fun to watch, do this some more with more languages
Thanks Beverly! Will do!
Joel, dit was baie mooi.
Lia looks different. Did she change her hair?
hahahaha!
SVenDevina- 🏆 Best post. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
When you said that first "ag, shame" immediately i remembered Yolandi saying that to Chappie when he comes home after getting attacked and that just made that scene even sweeter to me.
Jesse is delightful and pretty. Have her on again and again and again!
Went to South Africa in 2017!!! Love. LOve! LOVe! LOVE. You need to go. Cape Town. FTW
Wait... my little spicy🌶! 😆 A massive crush on this one. 😏 Killer Legend Joel! Trail of broken hearts? 🤔 🇬🇧🇺🇸
hahah!
You are a great team. Enjoyed the video and can't wait to see the next video with Jesse.
ME AND. MY GIRLFRIEND. ARE WAITING IT ON FS1. SHE LOVES IT. AND GUESS WERE SHE IS FROM. YES. SOUTH AFRICA. THANK YOU FOR LIKEING MY COMMENT.
Very impressive Joel on your guessing skills. Now Now meaning later is so opposite of our meaning of now.
Thanks! I think I did alright haha!
Chise sounded so close to Chase 🤣 So funny that it's to do with "chasing" after people. Nice!
Woo hoo - Hi Joel and Friend :). It is. Sleepy Friday for me. .
Aww, rest up Leo!
Howzit is a greeting in Hawaii as well
South Africa has quite a few accents, check them out here th-cam.com/video/qBo9eadB4MI/w-d-xo.html
So nice she didn't do the boring old "robot":and "tackie" route. Lekker, man!
Jessie is fun and super gorg! This was a fun video!
Yes! I love these kind of videos.... Nice job Joel 😊
Thanks JoAnna
I love learning those new words! lol Oh and Jesse has absolutely beautiful eyes. Wow! Bedroom eyes! :D That is a compliment...lol Of course so do you Joel! Big brown eyes. :D
Now, just now and now now are interchangeable. Also could be used in the past, present and future tense. Depends on context but very confusing to non saffers.
Loved the energy of this! The ANSWERS to a couple of the words got past me. Will have to re-watch...
Thanks Kelly!
She's beautiful Joel! Just friends ya!
She's a cutie!
Shes so sweet and fun!
Wonderful chemistry between two old friends. Love this video.
Haha, brilliant! Omg those slang terms were great, I'm so confused Haha now now
haha they're so hard to guess aren't they!
See! @joelwood! You DO have more friends to fit in the Mini Cooper! (Rachel? Mini Legend?) Can't remember her name but you do have lots of lovely friends. I love Christy too and follow her adventures as well. Love watching you all interact with the people in your lives. Great video (its hard for me to keep up with all the slang) especially the Afrikaans slang! Oh my! Loved it. Thank you for the entertainment. As always! 💛
1st like!! 😊
well done!
Denise Pearson- & 🥉com. too!🎉🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks for having her on your channel

Or ach as in "Ach, pleez deddy". : ))
Although I think I figured the meaning out by context, I don't believe you ever defined "eina".
Joel: do an explanation video (maybe w/ Lia by visiting both) on the differences between a pub & a bar...I always just assumed they were the same thing...
We've already done one! Search Joel and Lia pub
If a southern woman says bless your heart, it means that you need god help to make you smarter.
I find that so disheartening, because in the Midwest when someone says bless your heart, they mean...bless your heart.
Without any backhanded meaning.
As I am learning, I think I'm coming to the realization that a lot of the hospitality and niceness the people talk about from the south isn't real.
And that the phrase "Minnesota nice" actually kind of applies to the whole Midwest that we may not be over-the-top sweet in your face and then mean something else, but a quieter kind of niceness that is genuine?

He sad babballas just like a south African!😂😂
Love the South African slang. Fun vid!
Joel, PLEASE will you and Lia do a video looking at pics on the website PeopleOfWalmart!! It is SO funny and I know you guys would just have a hoot going through all the weird and funny photos. I really want to see you guys' reaction.
I've heard of that! Will have to write that idea down!
@@TheJoelWood but don't llok until the video it will spoil the reaction! can't wait!!
Joel you are so adorable
I'm an american, and I say "see you later," in the way you would. Loved the video
In the us we say that too! In stead of saying how is it going? We say how’s it going?
Proudly South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Joel, your friend is adorable. You make a great couple.
You sure replaced Lia fast. LOL
Rumour has it they're divorcing. 🤫 I hope the kids won't be traumatized.
haha no one could ever fill Lia's shoes!
@@TheJoelWood Does she have big feet? 🤪
btw, ja ja
First thing, Joel your on the right, your left!!!! 😯😄 second, I loved this!
Such crazy slang!!! Love it!
I was born in Somerset West and left when I was 3 (with very strong SA accent despite Scottish parents), but I sometimes wish I had stayed longer to at remember the culture more.
She’s very beautiful and very fun
Just Now - it happened shortly before this moment. (I have done it)
Now - it is happening at this moment (I am about to begin)
Now now - it will happen after this is over (after I am done doing this other thing).
I'm in south africa 🇿🇦
I have heard a couple of these in the US. Of course our howzat it , is howdy in my area of the country. LoL
Ahhh interesting!
@@TheJoelWood that's why the next time you come back to Texas you need to spend two weeks here. LOL
HEY. SOUTH AFRICA. IS IN THE WOMENS FIFA WORLD CUP. I'M. SAYING GO. WIN. HELLO. JOEL. AND. JESSI. SO COOL.
That's amazing!!
I think "bless your heart" is sarcasm 🤔🇺🇸💕
oooooh!
Definitely.
Yeah I’m from the South and it definitely is. Jeff Foxworthy once said that Bless your heart is just the southern way of saying “you’re and idiot” 😂
That's funny! 😉😂💕
Sharp is also American slang from the 50's meaning Cool, "that's sharp" Walt
Really? That's cool! (or sharp!)
I love comparing languages and learning about slang. I have a hard time distinguishing your English accent, Joel, with Jessie's South African accent. Is hers typical of South Africa? Thanks for the fun video. It was nice meeting Jessie.

Aweh 😂
The South African flag is perfect- Reflects both the Dutch and native African aspects of the country in a simple and colorful design that fits so well
There aren't any Dutch influences in the flag. There may be Dutch influences to Arikaans, but this has nothing to do with the flag.
Very interesting! Thanks
Cute guest, good video!
This was very interesting. I also thought "doss" meant what Joel thought it meant.
Yeah I can't believe it means something so different!
Cool beans!
❤️ fantastic vid!
Thank you!
You guys share my vibe lol

It was one of the most embarrassing moments in my recent life and I've always wanted to apologise to her.
So, Joel, can you apologise to her from me? even if she doesn't remember it, she still deserves an apology.
South African accent is my favorite accent in the whole wide world! Nay the Galaxy! Assume aliens 👽 have accents.
Yeah I love it too!
