Bell down below so you never miss any of

our newest

relationship why can't you just be happy

that money's making new friends cuz it

doesn't add up cool kids like Griffin

Cooper they don't hang out with kids

like Manny Manny's very cool maybe those

kids are finally catching up to him wait

a minute I get

it couple of days last week I took Manny

to school on my

motorcycle Griffin must think I'm pretty

boss yes D it's all because of you kids

are looking for Role Models why do you

think Fonzi was so popular he told

people that they were rich but really

took their money with his scheme no

that's

a yes hola griin how are

you oh

13 I'm fine so why do you boys have

planned for for today well it's kind of

a surprise for Griffin but let should

say it involves de coupage oh jeez come

on let's

go

goodbye oh no what you were right this

boy is not here to see man I told you

you see the way he looks at me no fany

the way he looks at me he couldn't talk

he kept staring he was just like my

teachers back in school Gloria you're

very pretty but the kid idolizes me

really griefing money do you want to go

with Jay to ride his motorcycle or you

want to go with me to the supermarket

and buy a couple of onions motorcycle

rides onions sound

good I'm really not getting that

relationship why can't you just be happy

that money's making new friends cuz it

doesn't add up so the connected speech

we see here can CH it happens in the

combination of letters t and u so they

make this new sound CH K so can you

turns into can you and this interesting

phrase it doesn't add up so Jay says

because it doesn't add up Ethan can you

define this yeah so if something doesn't

add up it means it doesn't make sense

and I believe it comes from mathematics

that if two things you're solving for x

and the two things that add up they're

not coming off to the right formula

probably has something to do with that

cool kids like Griffin Cooper they don't

hang out with kids like Manny Manny is

very cool to hang out with is to just

spend time with right we usually hang

out with our friends this is one of

those really versatile phrasal verbs

though because someone could call you

and ask you say I call cenia say cenia

what are you doing she could say oh just

hanging out which means I'm not really

doing anything she could be cleaning up

she could be watching a movie but it's

just a way to be vague with our language

did you notice here also Gloria's

pronunciation of fairy my is very

cool yeah she has this R very pronounced

R yeah like the top bar right mhm very

maybe those kids are finally catching up

to him I get it that's an interesting

use of the phrasal verb catchup to cetch

up with something like imagine if you

are running or if you are riding a car

and if you catch up with another car you

um make up the difference so you become

closer or in the same level but here it

has another meaning in this context what

does it mean to catch up to someone yeah

if you catch up to someone in this sense

it's saying because she's saying that

Manny is cool like he's a trend Setter

and they're finally catching up they're

finally starting to be cool as well so

he was cool in a different way and the

other kids are finally getting hip with

the his style MH okay so it's similar to

the meaning of like Katch up with

something when you're running or writing

right there's a another really nice way

that we use this phrase verb though if

you and I haven't spoken in a long time

I might say oh let's have a call and

catch up meaning let's get up to date

with what's been happening with you

what's been happening with me like

catching up with the news or catching up

on the news or catch up on a series

maybe because you've been behind on the

episodes maybe with Netflix and so on we

don't use it so much nowadays but when

we used to have uh episode coming out

every single week we might catch up

because we missed a few weeks of the

series or if I'm taking a course let's

say and I missed a couple of lessons and

now I have to catch up with my

studies couple of days last week I took

Manny to school on my

motorcycle you're a very common

connected speech pattern couple of days

so the phrase couple off days off is

getting reduced totally we just hear a

was out here couple of days Griffin must

think I'm pretty boss yes do that's

that's a nice expression I'm pretty boss

so he's not a boss mafia boss or

something what does it mean a boss in

this situation boss is a slang meaning

that someone is the best they're really

cool they're really hip and it's funny

because it's a more modern slang and

he's an old guy so he's trying to be

cool by using this modern slang but it

just doesn't fit at all all with who he

is and his age mhm just wanted to take a

moment here to explain the word pretty

so pretty it's not in the sense of

beautiful or handsome pretty here is the

sense of quite I'm quite a boss or I'm

quite boss notice the pronunciation as

well that it's not pretty it's pretty

kids are looking for Role Models why do

you think Fonzi was so popular he told

people that they were rich but really

took their money with his scheme oh

that's

a yes

um I think he didn't want to explain too

much to Gloria so he just said yes

because there's a funny situation

happening yeah so Gloria confuses Fonzi

and Ponzi Ethan do you want to explain

that to our viewers yeah so Fonzi was a

character I believe the series was

called happy days and he was this really

cool guy who everyone looked up to we

use that expression earlier that's

exactly what Jay is talking about is a

role model a role model is someone who

you look up to someone who admire yeah

he he just says yes because he's not

wanting to have to explain the confusion

that she made because a Ponzi scheme

which is what Gloria is defining there

is basically that it's like a pyramid

scheme how are

you oh

13 I'm fine so why do you boys have PL

today well it's kind of a surprise for

Griffin but let's just say it involves

de coupage oh jeez come on let's go so

here's an interesting connected speech

pattern we dro the D sound in the word

kind and links it to off but off changes

the F to V because it is followed by the

vowel kind of va so we link all three

words together kind of a kind of a

surprise I wanted to comment just on

some of the context too here because

both of us were laughing that she ask

him how are you yeah and he is a guas he

without words and then finally he says

13 so he completely wasn't listening to

the question he understood how old are

you mhm because he's staring at Gloria

since she's wearing a very revealing

outfit and the other funny thing here is

Jay is wearing this leather jacket so

he's probably trying to look cool like

Fonzi and he's wearing his motorcycle

jacket I have to be blatantly honest I

don't know what a decupage is is it like

paper mâché or something like yeah yeah

it's just like

you decorate a certain object or you

want to reproduce a shape of some object

and you use like strips of paper like

you need a lot of strips of paper and

you glue several layers of paper in this

object Jay says OG's after that because

it's this cool kid that he's wanting

Manny to impress and he's doing

something that's very artsy not so cool

by traditional

terms goodbye

oh no what you were right this boy is

not here to see man I told you you see

the way he looks at me no fancy the way

he looks at me I told you the

combination of letters d plus y gives a

new sound you so I told you becomes I

told you no fancy the way he looks at me

he couldn't talk he kept staring he was

just like my teachers back in school

Gloria you're very pretty but the kid

idolizes me really and she says that the

boy was staring at her staring is just

to look closely very attentively without

sometimes even blinking right mhm kids

might have a staring contest we did this

when we were young like you stare at

each other to see who is the first one

to Blink and whoever blinks first loses

so idolizing someone is to really admire

someone uh usually it happens like with

pop stars so teenage girls usually

idolize some pop stars and here is also

interesting connected speech right the

kid idolizes me yeah so he links all

these words together he idolizes did you

know that for today's lesson we created

a deck of flashcards with all the words

and expressions you've been learning so

under this video all right should we

watch SCB yeah let's watch

it ah thank you hey mom guess what

Griffin invited us all over to his house

for a pool party in barbecue tonight

pool party huh yeah and he said bring

your swimsuits he was pretty adamant

about it it's 50° outside sounds fun

great I'll call

him you know you're basically agreeing

to a date with a 13-year-old boy y we

use this to get as stables at

restaurants why can we use this to get

money a friend because he's not really

getting a friend oh but when you thought

that he was trying to ride your

motorcycle he was okay maybe now I don't

like what he's trying to ride Manny

likes Griffin maybe someday if they

spend enough time together Griffin Would

like money what Griffin doesn't like

me no no no papy he loves you but you

just said someday Griffin will like me

that means he doesn't like me now you

know what

kid we think that

Griffin might be hanging out with you

because he's got a little crush on your

mother and me on you wow I can't believe

it listen it's fine you're going to be

sorry are you kidding it's fantastic how

is it fantastic I'm only hanging out

with him because I have the hots for his

sister Chloe you've met Griffin the kids

a door knob so you're just using him

yeah and I felt really guilty about it

until now now it's a win-win not for me

just suck it up mom I've done a lot for

you over the years J you too this girl

could be the one that I'm out of your

hair forever pool party mom just

accordingly

that's

hilarious ah thank you hey mom guess

what Griffin invited us all over to his

house for a pool party in barbecue

tonight pool party huh let's break down

this sentence in parts so invited us

becomes invited us so the T sound in the

word

invited uh is between two vowels so it

turns into an American D sound invite D

and it ends with d right but then comes

the word us and we link two words

together invited us invited us nice and

then it continues with all over to his

house so all over this is a word chunk

we could often see and that L will

pretty much always connect to the O and

over all over all over two reduces to

and we drop the H in his so all

over house all over to house for a pool

party first of all the American way to

pronounce the word party is party yeah

we don't pronounce the true T but it

again turns into American the sound

party and for a both words have awat

sound so they are in a weak position so

we hear them uh reduce their longer

sounds and we hear for for pool party

for pool party and then party links end

to itself so it becomes like just the

whole item and the D sound at the end of

an is just dropped so try to pronounce

it all together for pool party in for

pool party in so we have barbecue which

we have Awad there on the first e bar

barue and it links to tonight barbecue

tonight so we have another schw there we

don't say tonight we say tonight

barbecue tonight pool party huh yeah and

he said bring your swimsuits he was

pretty adamant about it it's 50° outside

sounds fun great I'll call

him this is hilarious he's pretty

adamant about it what does that mean if

he was pretty adamant I like this word

adamant it's just like it's not only not

willing to to change your decision but

like you are adamant like the word is so

strong the meaning is like yeah you

decided already you made your decision

or you chose something to do and you are

uh not going to change it so he's being

emphatic that that's an important point

to bring your bathing suits because

obviously he's interested to see Gloria

in a bathing suit yeah and Jay's next

comment that it's 50° outside so that's

10° Cel which is not exactly swimming

weather pool party huh yeah and he said

bring your swimsuits he was pretty

adamant about it it's 50° outside sounds

fun great I'll call him I'll call him so

again we see here the drop of H sound

which happens pretty often in pronouns

right so he says I'll call him I'll call

him but you just said someday Griffin

will like me that means he doesn't like

me now you know what

kid we think that

Griffin might be hanging out with you

cuz he's got a little crush on your

mother and you to have a crush in

somebody means to be interested

romantically in someone and Jay also

uses it here again kind of like a

synonym for idolizing someone because he

doesn't think that Griffin is

romantically interested in him but he

idolizes him so that's why Gloria we'll

see in the next clip comments on that

mhm wow can't believe it listen it's

fine you're going to be sorry are you

kidding it's fantastic how is it

fantastic I'm only hanging out with him

because I have the hots for his sister

Chloe okay choice of expression yeah

have the hearts it's such a nice phrase

I haven't heard it but it's very close

to have a crash right yeah have the H

it's romantically interested but

probably most of you know what hot means

that we you use it as a slang for

meaning that someone is very attractive

it's more emphatic at that point that

you find someone sexually attractive

which is especially funny because I

don't know exactly how old he is here

maybe 10 12 it's quite funny for him to

be using that expression you've met

Griffin the kid's a doorknob so you're

just using him yeah and I felt really

guilty about it until now now it's a

win-win no for me I didn't know you can

uh use it to refer to a person because I

know a doorknob is like this round

handle on the door like you turn it and

the door's open it actually is uh

it's a bit of a play on words because we

have an expression that is someone is

dumb as a doorknob me that the person is

not smart at all MH it'd be insulting if

you said this directly to someone so

that's why he's saying the kids a

doorknob he's saying in a shortened way

in a shortened Way kids dumb as a

doorknob mhm you've met Griffin the

kid's a doorknob so you're just using

him yeah and I felt really guilty about

it until now now it's a win-win no for

me so now is a win-win but before that

many felt guilty about it uh what is

that feeling feeling guilty feel guilty

it's you did something bad and you know

that morally it was wrong so he was

feeling that feeling of Shame that's

another way we could say it but now that

he found out that Griffin is also using

him now he doesn't feel bad about it now

it's a win-win they can both use each

other without any guilt or shame that's

rather uh I don't

know cruel kind of kids

friendship just suck it up mom I've done

a lot for you over the years is it great

that he tells him to to suck it up mhm

yeah I I didn't see coming it's just

like for me it sounds rude like to say

to your mom suck it up yeah like this

whole phrase suck it up I've done a lot

for you over the years usually that's

more like the mom or the dad would say

to the kid is when the kid really

doesn't want to do something it's like

well you have to suck it up and do it

anyway we we actually did damel last

week right and we talked about this

expression of make your peace with

something it's similar this expression

to say that you need to just get it

together and do it even though you don't

want to do it mhm ju2 this girl could be

the one that I'm out of your hair

forever pool party mom just

accordingly to be out of one's hair

means to not be bothering not be

annoying anymore it's just like why is

it expression like out of your hair

where does it come from I'm not actually

sure but I imagine if someone were

pulling your hair it'd be quite annoying

so you know you'd be like get out of my

hair I can imagine too a lot of moms

maybe using this or dads like when

they're kitchen trying to cook dinner

and the kid keeps bothering them with

questions or you know distracting them

away from the task say get out of my

hair go play ah because you know um for

for a moment I thought that um it comes

from Imagine like a chewy gum that is

stuck in your hair so you cannot get rid

of it so I thought it's related somehow

geologically to this and he said that

his Destiny like that girl the one his

soulmate his soulmate mhm again so funny

like year old kid talking about like

finding his soulmate which this is

totally his character that he's always

romantically interested in some new girl

and there's quite a funny dynamic

between him and Gloria with each of his

romances J2 this girl could be the one

that I'm out of your hair forever pool

party mom dress

accordingly if you are going to some

event you would probably want to know

what the dress code is and dress

accordingly right to wear the term dress

code mhm dress code like imagine that

you are going on a play at the theater

to see a play so you would want to wear

something fancy yeah maybe a dress mhm

or to a wedding they might even say what

the dress code is like black tie formal

call like jargon very specific terms
