around my videos on YouTube that come out every Tuesday.

So when I put a new video up on YouTube,
5

00:23
on all of my other social media platforms
7
23130

00:26
that there's a new video up

They also do this when musicians put out a new album
14
43360
4000
00:47
or a new song.
15
47360
1240
00:48
They will often try to create a buzz around the song
16
48600
3090
00:51
so that a lot of people know about it
17
51690
2340
00:54
and so a lot of people are talking about it.
18
54030
2270

Hey, speaking of buzzing,
21
60990
1760
01:02
the kind of animal that buzzes
22
62750
1460
01:04
or the kind of insect that buzzes is a bee.
23
64210
2700
01:06
Is a bee an insect?
24
66910
1130
01:08
I'm actually not 100% sure.
25
68040
2110
01:10
But when you are busy as a bee,
26
70150
3110
01:13
it means that you are working really, really hard.
27
73260
3480
01:16
So I thought I would teach you this phrase as well
28
76740
2560
01:19
because we were just talking about buzz and creating buzz
29
79300
4310
01:23
and bees are the animal that buzzes.

31
86370
1690
01:28
you are busy as a bee.
32
88060
1270

I'm sure if you are busy as a bee,
33
