Pessoal, nessa frase um deles diz: Maybe he can't talk, you know, deep and down.

Pois eles estão fazendo perguntas ao Paul e ele não está respondendo. Aí um deles fala esta frase.

Não entendi o significado de deep and down nessa frase.

Did you watch the video? It could be "deep and dumb", but certainly not "deef". The guy clearly says "deep" and links it to the next word "and", sounding like "deepand". there is no "F" there whatsoever.
Now, if deep and dumb means deaf and mute, you're right. I really don't know the expression.

it is definitely deef and dumb
Mario Freitas Nov 1, 2017:
It's deep and down, Robert, not deef and dumb. It's not a typo. The idiom is more common among the Brits, but it's like "deep down inside" ou "in reality".
