I sent that link to my niece a few weeks ago wondering what he was 
saying... Here was her reply:

Hi, Uncle Eric!

Here's a rough translation.

Hi, handymen! Watch my fitting OBI Hammer commercial. [note: I gather 
OBI is a brand of hammer. Maybe you already know this!] Keep an eye on 
where the hammer hangs. And don't try this at home -- it would hurt.
Cool. [I think this is another voice off-camera that says this, when 
the guy's balancing a hammer on his nose.]
[1st guy:] So, my nail's overhead. [not totally sure about this part, 
but basic gist; this is before he starts juggling]
[2nd guy:] I'm getting excited. [<--before juggling, then after 
hitting nail-->] Insanity, insanity! [etc.] Super! The hammer really 
did it. How did you do that? [interspersed with 1st guy talking]
[1st guy, at end:] The finale of the hammer thrower. [as in, Ta-da!]

Hope that helps! That was fun to see. Steve has tried to learn 
juggling, but never with hammers. :)

Love,
Mandy
