I am not from an English-speaking country so I can't
exactly understand the talking between the show!.
But I am so curious about the talking, especially the no!.1 Question,
is that a native joke or slang language!?
if it's possible, could you type out the words what he said

Please give me a hand, thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1!. "Yeah, alright, he speaks snakes!.!.!." !? This would make sense as long as he was talking about the drummer, who's playing the hi-hat (which makes a sort of "tsss" sound)!. But it's not exactly idiomatic- if you notice in the background the drummer (Daniel, whom Armstrong is introducing) sort of says "Now what does that mean!?" when Armstrong says that line, so!. That's my best guess!.

2!. "And, while that lad's wailin'!.!.!." Just basically saying, "and while the trombone player is still playing, our drummer will play" in a totally Satchmo way, haha!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
