So today's English lesson is going
0
320
1478
00:01
to be a little different.
1
1799
1115
00:03
I'm going to tell you a joke, and the joke
2
3454
2040
00:05
is this, how does the moon cut his hair?
3
5495
2831
00:08
I'll let you think about that for a bit.
4
8327
1687
00:10
You'll understand why I'm asking this
5
10015
1887
00:11
joke in about 3 seconds.
6
11903
1951
00:13
How does the moon cut his hair?
7
13855
1779
00:16
Eclipse it.
8
16334
984
00:17
And this is kind of a little bit of a play on words.
9
17319
2663
00:19
An eclipse is when the moon goes across the
10
19983
2127
00:22
sun, which is happening in a few days here.
11
22111
2207
00:24
But it sounds like, he clips it.
12
24319
2271
00:26
So when you say eclipse it or he
13
26591
1719
00:28
clips it, it almost sounds the same.
14
28311
1871
00:30
So the joke is just a little play on words.
15
30183
2039
00:32
How does the moon cut his hair?
16
32223
1663
00:33
Eclipse it.
17
33887
1119
00:35
Hey, I don't have a comment to respond to today.
18
35007
2375
00:37
Sorry about that or a second phrase.
19
37383
2135
00:39
I just thought I'd pop out and talk to
20
39519
1599
00:41
you for a bit about things that are happening.
21
41119
2871
00:43
So yes, I am going to try and do a live stream
22
43991
3791
00:47
on my other channel on Monday, April 8 about the eclipse.
23
47783
3695
00:51
So hopefully you can make it to that.
24
51479
1691
00:53
It's not the best time of day for most of you.
25
53171
2543
00:55
It's at three.
26
55715
1247
00:56
I'll probably livestream from about 03:00 until
27
56963
3367
01:00
04:00 the eclipse will have already started,
28
60331
2727
01:03
but I think we have total darkness
29
63059
1887
01:04
from 3:20 until 3:24, something like that.
30
64947
5191
01:10
So I'll try to start at a good time.
31
70139
2767
01:12
I might start a little earlier than
32
72907
1263
01:14
02:00 but it's happening right here.
33
74171
2479
01:16
So I'm really looking forward to that.
34
76651
1847
01:18
Why don't I have a comment to reply to?
35
78499
2595
01:21
And why don't I have two phrases today?
36
81095
2207
01:23
Well, because if you ever listen to my... when
37
83303
4727
01:28
I describe my year, this is another busy time.
38
88031
3295
01:31
If you want to guess.
39
91327
1039
01:32
Why is Bob busy right now?
40
92367
2055
01:34
It's midterms.
41
94423
1127
01:35
So midterms would be the middle of the semester.
42
95551
3599
01:39
That means that I just spent this week
43
99151
2215
01:41
making sure all my students had everything graded.
44
101367
3471
01:44
I put grades in for midterm grades.
45
104839
2717
01:47
I had to write a little comment
46
107557
1623
01:49
for every student. That's done as well.
47
109181
2343
01:51
So it makes my week a little busy.
48
111525
2175
01:53
It's not overwhelming, but it was busy enough that when
49
113701
3639
01:57
I got to this point in the day, I thought,
50
117341
1631
01:58
you know what, I'll just go outside and tell a
51
118973
2327
02:01
joke and kind of explain my busyness.
52
121301
2839
02:04
I used to apologize when I'm busy.
53
124141
1871
02:06
I don't do that anymore because many of
54
126013
1719
02:07
you have said, don't apologize, Bob, you make
55
127733
3100
02:10
lots of really good lessons for us.
56
130834
2207
02:13
And sometimes having one or two lessons late or
57
133042
4343
02:17
sometimes skipping a lesson isn't a big deal.
58
137386
1943
02:19
I don't really like skipping them.
59
139330
1191
02:20
But anyways, I hope you're having a good week.
60
140522
3055
02:23
I hope you have a good Friday.
61
143578
1463
02:25
I hope that you understood the joke and
62
145042
2359
02:27
hopefully you can tell it to someone else.
63
147402
1975
02:29
And I hope to see you on Monday in the chat.
64
149378
3911
02:33
I'll have my eclipse glasses on so I'm
65
153290
2039
02:35
not sure if I'll be able to read
66
155330
2031
02:37
the chat, but hopefully I see you there.
67
157362
2898
02:40
I'll probably schedule the live stream sometime...
68
160261
2923
02:44
I'll schedule it Sunday with the exact time that
69
164564
2664
02:47
I'm going to start on Monday and be prepared
70
167229
2383
02:49
that I might start a bit early.
71
169613
1671
02:51
I don't know a lot about eclipses so I'll
72
171285
1903
02:53
have to kind of play it by ear.
73
173189
1607
02:54
There's a good phrase for you maybe look that one up.
74
174797
2303
02:57
I have to play it by ear.
75
177101
1439
02:58
Anyways, thanks for watching. See you in a couple days
76
178541
1719
03:00
with another short English lesson. Bye.
