What does the viral video actually say?

The same Green needle vs Brainstorm video also went viral at the time of the Laurel vs Yanny debate back in 2018. The viral video is from a 2014 toy review video by the YouTube user Domsrider, where he demonstrates the audio function of the Ben10 inspired toy Omnitrix. And if you are actually wondering what it says, then the answer is Brainstorm, which was one of the characters in the series.
