And thank you for the some explanation. I think i understand it a little bit clearer.
If you don't know what "and" is in Japanese, I'd say it's above your pay grade right now to know grammar that is contained within the phrase なに言ってんの.

言う is "to say." 言ってん is short for 言っている, which means "to be saying."

言って is the て-form. Have you not learned this yet? Where are you in your Japanese studies, so I can address your questions in a way you would understand.
