## Transcript

So you don't speak Croatian. You speak Yugoslavian. That's what I like to say. Some people are biased over it, which are the Croatians. They'll say no, it's Croatian. Yeah, that's politics though. But what about Serbians? Do they speak Serbian? They do. They speak Yugoslavian, too. It's just kind of imagine this: you got the United States, right? You got the northern accent southern accent New York accent Boston accent and so forth. It's the same thing same language different dialects, but it's all English. Exactly. So is it all Yugoslavian? Yeah, why is that? Technically all Yugoslavia. Essentially ex-Yugoslavia what it used to be. So there's a lot of people thinking, you know, man outside of the US. They're like, you know Spain, that's over there by Paris, right? Well, technically, isn't it all together over there? It is. Yeah, it used to be one country. I wasn't very good at biography. It's okay. I don't blame you. I never went to high school. When I did, I did. When I didn't, I didn't. So I was joking. It's geography.
