Trippy Vine changes depending on what side you look at

Whoa.
How is this possible? It’s all about the mouth, of course. On the left side, the man is making a bilabial sound lip-to-lip, whereas on the right he’s making a fricative found using lip-to-teeth.
Basically, our brains are being tricked into hearing what we’re seeing.
So what’s he actually saying? One Redditor guessed it’s middle ground between the two, something like ‘var’.
