316533
3133

319666
4134
05:24
The birthplace of the English language.
6
324500
2766
05:27
Which is, of course, you know where it is.
7
327266
2834
05:30
We all know where it is.
8
330100
1800
05:31
It is England.
9
331900
3000
05:51
It's a hot one today.
10
351533
3000
05:55
Oh, oh.

355266
1800
05:57

361333
1033

16
362366
934
06:03
I hope so.
17
363300
1266
06:04
Are you feeling happy today?
18
364566
1967
06:06
I hope you are feeling super duper on this Sunday.
19
366533
5567
06:12
It is a very sunny Sunday.
20
372100
3233
06:15
If you remember, last week we were outside.
21
375666
3100
06:18
Today we are in the studio.
22
378766
2067
06:20
Although I am regretting
23
380833
3000
06:24
doing it in here because it's so hot in the studio right now.
24
384000
5100
06:29
My name is Duncan.
25
389400
1200
06:30
I talk about the English language.
26
390600
1833
06:32
You might say that I am an English addict.
27
392433
3733
06:36
That is what it says on my t shirt
28
396600
2966
06:39
and I have a feeling maybe you are one of those as well.
29
399566
3367
06:42
Thank you for joining me.
30
402933
1467
06:44
We have made it all the way to Sunday once again.
31
404400
5533
06:50
It's a busy week.
32
410366
1000
06:51
It's been a busy one,
33
411366
1567
06:52
not only in this country but also around the world.
34
412933
3100
06:56
Lots of things going on.
35
416033
2400
06:58
You might say that things are heating up.
36
418433
4167
07:04
or we can
37
424566
1067
07:05
also say hotting up, hotting up.
38
425633
3000
07:08
If something is hotting up, it means it is getting more
39
428766
3767
07:12
exciting or maybe more active.
40
432833
3500
07:16
Talking of which, yesterday, apparently
41
436500
3000
07:19
we had one of the largest solar flare as that came
42
439500
5100
07:24
all the way to our planet and said hello there.
43
444600
4066
07:28
Hello.
44
448900
500
07:29
I come from the sun and I am here to disrupt
45
449400
3700
07:33
all of your radio signals.
46
453100
3000
07:37
Apparently the largest one for 20 years.
47
457000
3233
07:40
Doesn't seem that long, actually, when you think about it.
48
460666
3067
07:44
Anyway, we have sunspots.
49
464100
2033
07:46
We have sunspots before our eyes.
50
466133
3067
07:49
I hope you don't get sunstroke
51
469766
3567
07:53
if you spend too much time outside in the sun,
52
473700
3533
07:57
you might get sunstroke.
53
477666
3000
08:01
You have too much sun.
54
481100
2033
08:03
The heat will overwhelm you
55
483133
3167
08:06
and you will pass out, faint or even
56
486300
3366
08:10
die. Oh my goodness.
57
490833
2900
08:13
I hope you are okay.
58
493733
1333
08:15
Anyway, it is a hot one.
59
495066
1567
08:16
We have a hot day.
60
496633
1833
08:18
It was very hot yesterday and I thought it would be
61
498466
4567
08:23
a good idea to talk about hot words.
62
503033
3700
08:26
Words connected to heat, hot.
63
506733
3000
08:29
Maybe hot weather, maybe a situation that is too hot
64
509800
5000
08:35
to handle
65
515200
2233
08:37
all of that coming up a little bit later on.
66
517433
3333
08:40
Quite a few things to mention.
67
520766
1734
08:42
Can I first of all mention the get together?
68
522500
5266
08:47
We are having a reunion
69
527900
2800
08:50
next month in around about four weeks from now.
70
530700
4100
08:54
Can you believe it?
71
534833
967
08:55
I am so excited because Mr.
72
535800
3500
08:59

73
539300
4500
09:03
If you would like to meet up with us, we will be in Rome, Italy.
74
543800
6500
09:10
We will have a will we?
75
550800
1733
09:12
We will be having.
76
552533
1167
09:14
Can you see how excited I am?
77
554766
2200
09:16
We will be having a Rome around Rome.
78
556966
5267
09:22
You know what they say when in Rome,
79
562600
2533
09:25
do what the Romans do and we will be doing that.
80
565133
4100
09:29
We will be very sociable.
81
569233
2967
09:32
At the start of June.
82
572200
2633
09:34
If you want to get in touch with me, if you are interested
83
574833
3567
09:38
in joining us, here is my email address.
84
578800
4700
09:43
I will put it on the screen.
85
583500
1466
09:44
Now, if you would like to join us in Rome,
86
584966
4734
09:50
please leave your your real name, your actual name
87
590200
3866
09:54
and also make sure I can contact you as well by email
88
594533
5100
10:00
because I will be putting you on the mailing list.
89
600033
3900
10:04
So all of the details will be coming your way.
90
604266
3234
10:07
All you have to do is write to me.
91
607800
2000
10:09
First of all, please and let me know who you are
92
609800
3766
10:13
and I will give you all of the details.
93
613833
2767
10:16
I have to say I am pretty excited already.
94
616600
4566
10:21
I've bought a new pair of shorts,
95
621166
3000
10:24
and one of the reasons why I've bought
96
624866
2867
10:27
a new pair of shorts is because they are slightly smaller
97
627733
4567
10:33
than the size I normally wear,
98
633333
2833
10:36
and that is to get me
99
636166
3000
10:40
to do a little bit more exercise,
100
640100
2566
10:42
become more fit, and hopefully lose a little bit of weight
101
642666
4734
10:47
so I can fit into my lovely shorts.
102
647700
4000
10:51
When we are in Rome together,
103
651900
3266
10:55
we will be roaming around Rome at the start of June.
104
655466
4467
10:59
I hope you will join me then.
105
659933
2433
11:02
Lots of things coming up today.
106
662366
2134
11:04

11:36
We have quite a few people
116
696866
3000
11:40
now saying that they will be there, so quite
117
700466
4900
11:45
a few people will be joining us in Rome at the start of June.
118
705366
3500
11:49
I think it will be more
119
709466
2134
11:51
than last year when we did our rendezvous in Paris.
120
711600
4633
11:56
We might have around eight
121
716233
3467
12:00
or maybe ten people joining us
122

4033
12:05

12:19
without Louis Mendez.

13:32
We have Franco on the live chat.
157
812333
3000
13:35
Also, we have Marianne, who says?
158
815566
3367
13:38
Mr. Duncan, you have two weeks to go.
159
818933
3900
13:43
Oh, you have the rights.
160
823533
1367
13:44
Two weeks ago, regarding the learning English
161
824900
2366
13:47
as a second language, I did not realise
162
827266
3134
13:50
my mother language can be useful for learning a second language.
163
830400
3966
13:54
Yes, Marianne, that is a good piece of advice
164
834866
4167
13:59
that I do give to anyone who is worried
165
839033
3733
14:03
about learning English as a second language.
166
843333
3167
14:06
Don't forget, if you already have your own language,
167
846500
4300
14:11
then you can use that to help you learn English.
168
851600
4000
14:16
Trust me, it does work.
169
856700
2400
14:19
It does definitely work.
170
859100
2900
14:22
Hello also to Zika.
171
862000
3066
14:25
Hello Zizek virus.
172
865066
2200
14:27
Well, Claudio says in Rome you will eat beautiful food
173
867266
5934
14:33
I am Italian, hello, Claudio,
174
873300
3000
14:37
can I just say I am looking forward
175
877566
3000
14:40
to going to Italy for many reasons.
176
880900
3566
14:44
But one reason that is very high up on
177
884466
3734
14:48
my list is of course the food.
178
888200
3000
14:51
I can't wait to try the food
179
891300
3433
14:55
if I was honest with you, I really can't wait
180
895366
3034
14:58
to have lots of real genuine Italian food.
181
898666
6700
15:05
So that is one of the things I'm definitely looking forward to
182
905366
5000
15:11
today.
183
911000
700
15:11
Can I give you your 15 minute warning?
184
911700
4000
15:15
Here we go.
185
915700
766
15:16
I'm going to put it on the screen for those who are waiting for Mr.
186
916466
4434
15:20
Steve.
187
920900
700
15:21
Don't worry, Steve will be with us in around about 15 minutes time.
188
921600
5733
15:27
We are talking about lots of things we might mention
189
927600
3900
15:32
the Eurovision Song Contest.
190
932033
2133
15:37
Oh dear.
191
937100
1366
15:38
What can I say?
192
938466
1200
15:39
It would appear these days
193
939666
2900
15:42
that it is hard to do anything without having
194
942566
4467
15:47
some sort of controversy or some sort of argument,
195
947033
4900
15:52
or maybe fighting taking place.
196
952466
3034
15:55
So even the Eurovision Song Contest
197
955933
3500
16:00
has become a very hot topic,
198
960066
3434
16:03
but for the wrong reasons.
199
963900
2866
16:06
So a lot of people have been getting very angry now.
200
966766
3500
16:10
I grew up with the Eurovision Song Contest.
201
970266
4900
16:15
It was every year, and all of the songs
202
975166
3400
16:18
would be instantly forgettable.
203
978566
3734
16:23
The next day you wouldn't remember any of the songs.
204
983600
3000
16:27
However, this year people have been getting rather
205
987266
3500
16:30
angry about the Eurovision Song Contest.
206
990766
3134
16:34
It is something that takes place every year.
207
994266
2700
16:36
It is supposed to be fun.
208
996966
2967
16:39
It is supposed to bring people together
209
999933
2167
16:43
with one common interest,
210
1003433
1967
16:45
which is of course, to produce music.
211
1005400
3000
16:49
So the the whole idea of the Eurovision Song Contest
212
1009200
4433
16:54
is to bring people together in harmony,
213
1014033
3133
16:58
literally in harmony.
214
1018266
2400
17:00
However, it would appear that a lot of people have been
215
1020666
3534
17:04
getting rather angry about that.
216
1024200
3000
17:07
So maybe we will talk about that with Mr.
217
1027500
2666
17:10
Steve today.
218
1030166
1467
17:11
Hot words, words connected to heat
219
1031633
4167
17:16
and being hot.
220
1036433
3000
17:19
Talking of which, in the garden it is very hot.
221
1039800
3500
17:23
We have some lovely weather at the moment and I would like
222
1043300
3400
17:26
to show you the flower or plant
223
1046700
5700
17:32
that we mentioned last week when we were outside the road.
224
1052933
4767
17:37
Penderyn rhododendron is a type of flower.
225
1057700
3800
17:41
It is very beautiful and you will often see it at this time of year.
226
1061966
4834
17:47
And and here is the one that is in the garden.
227
1067800
2966
17:50
So this is the one that is in my garden at the moment.
228
1070766
3067
17:54
And I filmed this yesterday whilst the sun was out.
229
1074400
4833
17:59
And look, you can see there are so many flowers
230
1079233
4300
18:03
coming out on the rhododendron.
231
1083533
3000
18:06
So every year that goes by this particular plant
232
1086766
3267
18:10
becomes larger and larger and this year
233
1090033
3467
18:14
it's well it, it appears to be
234
1094700
2200
18:16
producing the largest amount
235
1096900
3000
18:20
or the largest number of flowers that I've ever seen.
236
1100333
4367
18:25
Of course, this particular flower
237
1105200
2066
18:27
can also be other colours as well, including white.
238
1107266
3800
18:31
So you can have white rhododendrons,
239
1111700
3133
18:35
but this particular one is pink,
240
1115533
2567
18:38
a lovely pink colour.
241
1118100
2666
18:40
So I have to say, I'm looking forward to seeing
242
1120766
2967
18:43
all of the flowers out in the garden this year.
243
1123733
4000
18:48
And I think one of the reasons why many of the flowers have come out
244
1128066
4467
18:52
much stronger this year is because we've had a rather mild winter,
245
1132533
4667
18:57
and also a very wet spring.
246
1137733
3000
19:00
So I think this year all of the plants and the flowers
247
1140900
4033
19:04
in the garden, I think they are all going to be rather
248
1144933
4800
19:10
well, maybe surprisingly
249
1150700
1900
19:12
bright and maybe lots of them around.
250
1152600
3666
19:16
So there it was, the rhododendron.
251
1156900
2300
19:19
It is doing very well at the moment in the garden.
252
1159200
3100
19:23
It is looking quite spectacular.
253
1163400
3366
19:27
Another thing I wanted to mention as well.
254
1167366
3000
19:32
We haven't
255
1172866
1500
19:34
had any animals at the back of the house yet,
256
1174366
3700
19:38
so normally at this time of year there is normally
257
1178733
3767
19:42
something in the field at the back of the house.
258
1182500
3100
19:45
But this year I don't know why.
259
1185900
2566
19:48
It's been very quiet at the back of the house.
260
1188466
3434
19:52
We have no animals, no sheep,
261
1192133
3000
19:55
no cows, nothing has arrived.
262
1195800
4066
20:00
So I am starting to get a little bit worried and concerned
263
1200100
4733
20:05
because I do know that the man who owns the land
264
1205100
3000
20:08
at the back of the house, he's not very well at the moment.
265
1208300
2766
20:11
He has been suffering
266
1211066
1767
20:12
severe ill health over the past couple of years,
267
1212833
3367
20:16
so I'm just wondering if that has something to do with it.
268
1216566
3500
20:20
But sadly, we don't have any cows
269
1220600
3600
20:24
and we have no sheep in the garden or at the back of the garden.
270
1224200
4766
20:29
Unfortunately at the moment, which is a shame
271
1229566
3600
20:33
because all the grass has come up at the back of the house.
272
1233600
3466
20:37
It looks quite amazing to be honest,
273
1237066
2900
20:41
but sadly there are no animals there to enjoy it.
274
1241066
3800
20:44
Unfortunately.
275
1244866
2800
20:47
Hello, who else is here today?
276
1247666
2934
20:50
Oh, Francesco.
277
1250600
2833
20:53
Hello, Francesco.
278
1253433
1733
20:55
Mr. Duncan, you will become addicted to being in Rome.
279
1255166
5134
21:00
Yes, I think so.
280
1260633
2100
21:02
I am really looking forward to it.
281
1262733
2200
21:04
I can't wait to experience the atmosphere,
282
1264933
4133
21:09
the feeling of being in Rome, apparently.
283
1269400
3500
21:13
And this is what I've heard from other people.
284
1273300
1966
21:15
Rome is a very busy place,
285
1275266
3367
21:19
bustling.
286
1279700
1666
21:21
So if a place is bustling, it means it is very busy.
287
1281366
4134
21:25
Lots of traffic, lots of people, and certainly in June
288
1285500
4566
21:30
I would imagine a lot of tourists
289
1290066
3534
21:33
will be there as well, including me.
290
1293766
3000
21:36
I will be one of those tourists.
291
1296900
2533
21:39
So I'm looking forward to meeting up with you
292
1299433
3000
21:42
in around about four weeks.
293
1302566
1900
21:44
We will be in Rome and hopefully
294
1304466
4167
21:49
we will also be
295
1309866
900
21:50
able to do a live stream as well.
296
1310766
3000
21:53
So I'm hoping whilst we are in Rome
297
1313900
3000
21:57
we will be live on YouTube as well at some point.
298
1317266
6367
22:04
Palmira says the title of Eurovision
299
1324233
2700
22:06
is United by music,
300
1326933
3000
22:10
but in reality it is not.
301
1330400
3000
22:13
People are so furious now.
302
1333800
3933
22:18
I don't want to talk about this too much, because Mr.
303
1338600
2900
22:21
Steve might also
304
1341500
1266
22:22
want to say something about it in a few moments from now,
305
1342766
3467
22:26
but it seems these days
306
1346533
3600
22:30
you can't do anything without having a little bit of controversy.
307
1350133
5067
22:35
So if something is controversial, it normally means that people
308
1355766
5200
22:40
will discuss that particular
309
1360966
3400
22:44
thing in a very heated way.
310
1364366
3000
22:47
So maybe there will be an aspect or part of it that
311
1367533
3567
22:51
people disagree with,
312
1371100
1366
22:53
thus causing controversy.
313
1373466
3267
22:57
But it would appear that everything nowadays causes
314
1377333
3400
23:00
some sort of disagreement or outrage.
315
1380733
3667
23:04
Have you noticed?
316
1384633
1733
23:06
Can you think of something
317
1386366
1267
23:07
at the moment that everyone is fighting about
318
1387633
3000
23:10
not only Eurovision, but other things as well?
319
1390633
4700
23:15
Quite often movies, when a new movie comes out,
320
1395333
3900
23:19
and maybe it is a new version
321
1399233
2367
23:21
of a movie that was made many years ago.
322
1401600
2533
23:24
A lot of people become angry
323
1404133
2200
23:26
because certain things have been changed,
324
1406333
3000
23:29
so it would appear quite often these days it is very hard
325
1409800
5500
23:35
to do anything without having
326
1415633
3467
23:39
some sort of controversy
327
1419100
3000
23:42
or some sort of trouble taking place.
328
1422400
4133
23:48
Hello to the live chat.
329
1428100
1333
23:49
Nice to see you here.
330
1429433
1300
23:50
Olaf.
331
1430733
1167
23:51
Hello, Olaf.
332
1431900
1300
23:53
Elias, hello to you.
333
1433200
1900
23:55
Nice to see you as well.
334
1435100
3300
23:58
Very nice to see you here.
335
1438800
1733
24:01
Lots of people joining in.
336
1441733
1567
24:03
If you'd like to say hello, please don't be shy,
337
1443300
3200
24:06
because I know a lot of people do like to join in.
338
1446900
3000
24:09
And some people are quite shy.
339
1449933
3267
24:14
Don't be shy.
340
1454566
1067
24:15
Give it a try.
341
1455633
2167
24:17
You never know, you might like it.
342
1457800
3000
24:21
I always like to talk about things
343
1461500
2833
24:24
relating to human behaviour.
344
1464333
3567
24:28
When we talk about human behaviour, we often talk about the way
345
1468500
3400
24:32
people interact or communicate
346
1472133
4200
24:37
the types of relationships that can happen between people.
347
1477033
4967
24:42
I am quite fascinated by those things.
348
1482366
3834
24:46
Maybe in a certain situation
349
1486500
3000
24:50
you might find
350
1490233
2000
24:52
these particular words being used.
351
1492233
3000
24:55
I would imagine the following words that I am going to show
352
1495500
4233
24:59
you might relate to being at work or in a job of some sort.
353
1499733
8267
25:09
For example,
354
1509100
2900
25:12
here is a great phrase
355
1512000
2033
25:14
to suck up to someone.
356
1514033
3433
25:18
To suck up to someone.
357
1518233
2533
25:20
If you suck up to someone,
358
1520766
2567
25:23
it means you are being nice to them.
359
1523333
3000
25:26
You are being kind to that person.
360
1526933
3333
25:30
Maybe you are being too kind.
361
1530600
4300
25:35
Maybe you are being too
362
1535400
3366
25:40
much with your admiration for that person.
363
1540333
3533
25:44
So maybe at work you might find that someone in your office
364
1544133
5533
25:49
or someone at work will be sucking up to the boss,
365
1549666
5600
25:55
because maybe they want some sort of favour later.
366
1555833
3133
25:59
So quite often in the workplace, we often find there are people
367
1559400
5066
26:04
who will suck up to someone,
368
1564466
3600
26:08
especially if they want something.
369
1568400
2733
26:11
So perhaps you are in a job where you are going to get
370
1571133
3300
26:14
some sort of promotion.
371
1574433
1833
26:16
Or maybe there is a chance that your job will somehow get better.
372
1576266
5167
26:21
Maybe you will get more more money in your salary.
373
1581433
4467
26:26
You might try to
374
1586666
1600
26:29
get favour from the boss.
375
1589266
3000
26:32
You will suck up to the boss.
376
1592400
3900
26:37
Another way of describing it, of course, is cruel.
377
1597000
4833
26:42
Maybe you cruel around someone.
378
1602366
3800
26:46
So your behaviour is not natural.
379
1606400
3133
26:49
You're not behaving in a natural way.
380
1609566
2334
26:51
You are being too kind.
381
1611900
3900
26:56
Or maybe you are using too many compliments toward someone
382
1616366
5134
27:01
because you want that person to like you.
383
1621633
3533
27:05
You want that person to give you some favours.
384
1625466
3834
27:09
Quite often in a work environment,
385
1629700
3033
27:13
the boss,
386
1633233
2500
27:15
someone who can make lots of decisions
387
1635733
3000
27:18
that can change your life.
388
1638966
1600
27:20
Perhaps you will feel as if you have to be kind to the boss.
389
1640566
5200
27:26
You have to say nice things to your manager.
390
1646000
4366
27:30
You have to keep them happy all the time.
391
1650700
3000
27:34
You might have to crawl around that person.
392
1654166
4867
27:39
You are trying to win their favour.
393
1659400
3833
27:45
Another way we can describe it
394
1665833
3000
27:49
to be a sycophant.
395
1669133
3000
27:52
Sycophant
396
1672333
2033
27:54
a sycophant is a person who will always agree with someone
397
1674366
4367
27:59
because they are trying to stay on their right side.
398
1679033
3633
28:03
Maybe a person who doesn't want to upset
399
1683300
3000
28:06
someone else will always say nice things to them.
400
1686300
4033
28:10
Oh, you are such a nice person.
401
1690633
2033
28:12
Oh, you are a great person.
402
1692666
1934
28:14
You are a wonderful boss.
403
1694600
2133
28:16
You are so amazing.
404
1696733
2267
28:19
We might describe that person as a sycophant.
405
1699000
4033
28:23
They are being sycophantic.
406
1703766
3000
28:27
They are trying to to be two kind tune nice.
407
1707000
5433
28:32
They will never say anything negative to that person.
408
1712800
3833
28:37
They are a sycophant.
409
1717300
3000
28:41
Another word we can use
410
1721100
2333
28:43
is brown nose.
411
1723433
3000
28:46
If you are a brown nose, it means you are a person
412
1726933
3900
28:50
who is always creeping or crawling
413
1730833
4033
28:55
or saying nice things to the boss
414
1735500
3000
28:58
because you want them to like you.
415
1738766
2734
29:01
You are a brown nose.
416
1741500
2533
29:04
I would love to tell you the reason why we use that expression,
417
1744033
3733
29:09
but I might get taken off YouTube.
418
1749233
3000
29:12
Lets just say your nose is in a particular place,
419
1752533
5000
29:18
which is why it gets brown.
420
1758933
2467
29:21
So a person who will always creep,
421
1761400
2733
29:24
they will always say nice things
422
1764133
2767
29:26
to try and win someone else's favour.
423
1766900
3300
29:30
We can describe that person as a sycophant
424
1770600
5200
29:36
and their I think is an interesting word.
425
1776533
3067
29:40
Mr. Steve will be with us soon,
426
1780900
3466
29:44
so don't worry, Steve will be with us.
427
1784366
2934
29:47
Please don't panic.
428
1787300
1133
29:48
Please don't worry.
429
1788433
1367
29:49
Please don't be afraid.
430
1789800
3000
29:53
Steve is on his way.
431
1793000
2533
29:55
A quick break and then we will be back with lots of Mr.
432

3867
29:59

1867
34:03

3900
34:14
We also have Eurovision.
458
2054666
1500
34:17
I don't know why, but I think it's a good idea.
459

2433
34:38
Apparently, I had a message this morning sent to me.
468
2078733
3667
34:42
It's wonderful to be here, Mr. Duncan.
469

2119500
4766
35:24
Isn't that lovely?
483
2124266
967
35:25
If only the whole world
484
2125233
2067
35:27
could could follow our example, and then maybe
485
2127300
3500
35:30
things would be lovely.
486
2130800
1333
35:32
So my name is Mr. Duncan.
487
2132133
2467
35:34
I will put them on the screen.
488
2134600
1300
35:35
So, you know I'm Duncan, and that over there is Mr.
489
2135900
3200
35:39
Steve.
490
2139100
600
35:39
And now the introductions are done.
491
2139700
3500
35:43
Have you had a good week, Mr.. Steve?
492
2143700
1800
35:45
Because I know for a fact you have been rather busy with your job.
493
2145500
4733
35:50
We had a nice time in Birmingham.
494
2150233
2267
35:52
You went to Birmingham with your job and I was hiding in Mr.
495
2152500
4500
35:57
Steve's suitcase as well.
496
2157000
2333
35:59
Now you went to completely separately, Mr. Duncan.
497
2159333
2400
36:01
You you didn't come with me at all.
498
2161733
2700
36:04
at or you went completely separately.
499
2164433
1767
36:06
Yeah, well, I was going to say I didn't stay with Mr.
500
2166200
2700
36:08
Steve at the hotel.
501
2168900
1133
36:10
How is actually sleeping on a bench?
502
2170033
2867
36:12
Yes, I knew street station in Birmingham.
503
2172900
3733
36:16
I didn't want to get into trouble.
504
2176633
1200
36:17
So I said to Mr. Duncan, I'm sorry.
505
2177833
1400
36:19
You're going to have to go and sleep on a bench.
506
2179233
1767
36:21
Yeah, so that's exactly what I did.
507
2181000
1800
36:22
Fortunately, the weather wasn't too bad,
508
2182800
2166
36:24
so I was able to have a lovely, cool night on the bench outside.
509
2184966
5567
36:30
And I believe you, you are in quite a lot of money.
510
2190566
2834
36:33
by offering your services.
511
2193400
2566
36:35
Yes, I did get some tossing, gentlemen.
512
2195966
3834
36:39
I did get some offers for my body, but I was also
513
2199833
4233
36:44
very busy giving refunds later on as well.
514
2204066
3934
36:48
Here we are then. It's a hot one now.
515
2208033
2567
36:50
I don't know what happened to the weather,
516
2210600
1766
36:52
because today was supposed
517
2212366
1634
36:54
to be wet with rain and thunder and lightning.
518
2214000
3466
36:57
But outside, the weather is glorious.
519
2217900
2966
37:00
It's about 23, maybe 24 Celsius at the moment
520
2220866
4734
37:05
and very hot and sunny.
521
2225600
1966
37:07
So I don't know what happened to all all of that,
522
2227566
3234
37:10
all of that bad weather we were supposed to get today.
523
2230900
3000
37:14
It was supposed to become really, really bad.
524
2234266
2834
37:17
Course for thunderstorms.
525
2237100
2000
37:19
they can do it. Depends where you are.
526
2239100
2300
37:21
They can miss you and, and go somewhere else.
527
2241400
3100
37:24
We often miss them here, because of the hills.
528
2244500
3700
37:28
I think they they scoot, scoot around the edge.
529
2248666
3000
37:31
Yeah, that's a good word.
530
2251666
1034
37:32
Scooting something scoot around the edge.
531
2252700
3000
37:35
It means it sort of deviates, doesn't it?
532
2255700
2966
37:38
deviates around the edge.
533
2258666
1434
37:40
Scooch is in a sort of almost a sort of, secretive
534
2260100
3366
37:43
way to scoot means glide.
535
2263466
3000
37:46
So it will glide around something.
536
2266600
2833
37:49
So scoot normally means glide.
537
2269433
2567
37:52
It almost appears as if you're floating.
538
2272000
2500
37:54
You can scoot around into the purse,
539
2274500
1933
37:56
and it just means you you go round them carefully, doesn't it?
540
2276433
4433
38:01
Yes. As you say, glide around them.
541
2281066
2467
38:03
Can I just scooch around? You?
542
2283533
2467
38:06
Is it. Scoot your scoot.
543
2286000
1733
38:08
Is it scoot, scoot.
544
2288966
3000
38:12
I've just made up a word. Then. Okay.
545
2292000
2066
38:14
You know, this is English.
546
2294066
1667
38:15
I've made up a word. Scooch. Is is the.
547
2295733
2767
38:18
Is it scoot? Is it?
548
2298500
1200
38:19
Yes. Scoot.
549
2299700
566
38:20
I think you're right. Yes.
550
2300266
2567
38:22
Well, we got off to a bad start with I.
551
2302833
1767
38:24
I mean, your assistant,
552
2304600
1400
38:26
you know, we know I think that word does exist.
553
2306000
2833
38:28
I've just.
554
2308833
567
38:29
I've just invented it.
555
2309400
1233
38:30
Yeah, I think scooch means move in in a in a an awkward way.
556
2310633
5067
38:35
Scooch over.
557
2315700
1300
38:37
Yeah. Move over.
558
2317000
900
38:37
But scoot is to go round something, which is what you were saying
559
2317900
3833
38:41
about the weather.
560
2321733
900
38:42
Scooting round.
561
2322633
2000
38:44
Yeah. There we go. Scooch edge.
562
2324633
2700
38:47
Anyway, we have a lot of things to talk about.
563
2327333
3567
38:51
A lot of people getting angry about Eurovision.
564
2331233
4267
38:55
The Eurovision song Contest was was held last night.
565
2335800
4800
39:00
The final.
566
2340600
966
39:01
A lot of people getting angry for various reasons.
567
2341566
3000
39:04
Switzerland was the winner.
568
2344800
3000
39:08
Switzerland won
569
2348400
2400
39:10
with a song that already I've forgotten.
570
2350800
3266
39:15
Isn't that great?
571
2355100
833
39:15
Have you noticed that
572
2355933
1633
39:17
every time Eurovision, the Eurovision Song Contest,
573
2357566
3067
39:20
comes along, the all of the songs are, completely forgotten
574
2360633
5000
39:26
within around about 25 or 30 minutes after the thing
575
2366200
3733
39:29
finishing and, and a few people were complaining
576
2369933
3033
39:32
because it's not gay enough this year
577
2372966
2534
39:35
down to this, they're asking, why wasn't it gay enough?
578
2375500
2900
39:38
Who's complaining about that? And no one.
579
2378400
2666
39:41
I was with the gay people.
580
2381066
1100
39:42
I was being sarcastic.
581
2382166
3000
39:45
I was being sarcastic.
582
2385433
1233
39:46
Steve, there is a version. I haven't watched it.
583
2386666
2400
39:49
I haven't watched it for many, many years.
584
2389066
2567
39:51
Oh, do you remember we went.
585
2391633
2367
39:54
You and I went to the dress
586
2394000
3233
39:57
rehearsal for
587
2397233
3000
40:00
the Eurovision Song Contest many, many years ago.
588
2400666
3700
40:04
I think it was the year
589
2404366
1534
40:06
or the year after
590
2406900
2800
40:09
Dana International won it.
591
2409700
2833
40:12
Do you remember?
592
2412533
967
40:13
I do, yes.
593
2413500
766
40:14
I got some, complimentary tickets.
594
2414266
4100
40:18
Complimentary or free tickets, I can't remember,
595
2418900
4300
40:23
I can't remember how I got them now.
596
2423300
1933
40:25
It doesn't matter.
597
2425233
1133
40:26
But I got free tickets and we went to the Birmingham NBA.
598
2426366
4100
40:30
Yeah, it's the National indoor arena.
599
2430900
2466
40:33
And we saw.
600
2433366
1700
40:35
But it was for as you say, it was for the dress rehearsal.
601
2435066
3234
40:38
Yeah.
602
2438300
400
40:38
So normally before the big show they normally have
603
2438700
2966
40:41
what they call a run through or a dress rehearsal.
604
2441666
3600
40:45
So we were able to actually go and see that.
605
2445533
2733
40:48
Not the actual real final, but it was
606
2448266
3834
40:52
it was still good fun watching it all happen
607
2452100
2533
40:54
and seeing all of the singers and the stars.
608
2454633
3400
40:58
But this year.
609
2458233
1267
40:59
So lots of controversy for various reasons.
610
2459500
3900
41:04
Normally we think
611
2464400
1600
41:06
of the Eurovision Song Contest as being something rather
612
2466000
3333
41:09
comical or fun, something to bring people together,
613
2469333
3800
41:13
but it would appear this year it has been the opposite.
614
2473533
3200
41:17
It has been dividing people all over the place.
615
2477166
4400
41:21
Does anybody still watch Euro Vision?
616
2481566
2967
41:24
So can we ask?
617
2484533
2300
41:26
We're talking about it.
618
2486833
1233
41:28
Did anybody actually watch it?
619
2488066
2167
41:30
We have a lot of people watching in Europe.
620
2490233
2933
41:33
although of course the Eurovision isn't strictly about Europe.
621
2493166
4900
41:38
originally I think it was, but there's many, many countries
622
2498700
3133
41:41
that aren't in Europe.
623
2501833
1400
41:43
But, anybody watching us today,
624
2503233
3567
41:46
did you watch Eurovision last night?
625
2506800
2733
41:49
Well, apparently the viewing for it was the highest ever
626
2509533
2967
41:52
or one of the highest ever because of all of the trouble.
627
2512500
3000
41:55
So because of all of the arguments and controversy,
628
2515833
3867
42:00
more people than ever watched the final last night.
629
2520000
4466
42:04
Because that is exactly why
630
2524633
2067
42:06
they created the controversy in the first place,
631
2526700
3500
42:10
so that they would get more people watching it, because then
632
2530500
3033
42:13
they get more ad revenue and et cetera, etc..
633
2533533
3133
42:17
it is it is.
634
2537400
1000
42:18
So all have been all have been created.
635
2538400
3100
42:22
I mean, it was Eurovision is just a fairly naff
636
2542400
5066
42:28
singing contest.
637
2548600
1333
42:29
Most of the artists, most of the songs are pretty poor quality.
638
2549933
3367
42:33
Everybody knows it's a bit of a joke.
639
2553300
3000
42:36
And yet it was headline news
640
2556366
3467
42:40
on all channels in the UK.
641
2560866
2634
42:43
Well, around the world
642
2563500
1133
42:44
they're talking about it everywhere,
643
2564633
1433
42:46
by the way, Steve, I know, so it just shows you
644
2566066
3067
42:49
every country was watching last night,
645
2569166
1867
42:51
not just Europe, but the wider world.
646
2571033
2233
42:53
Why did Eurovision get the top prime spot in the news?
647
2573266
6200
42:59
And it's just totally naff.
648
2579700
2933
43:02
I mean, it's it's far more important things.
649
2582633
2367
43:05
You're being a bit naive, Steve.
650
2585000
1766
43:06
You're being a bit naive there.
651
2586766
1434
43:08
There was only one reason why.
652
2588200
1766
43:09
And I know I've already said that.
653
2589966
1534
43:11
Yes, I know it was all orchestrated.
654
2591500
2600
43:14
Well no, no, no, it wasn't orchestrated.
655
2594100
3000
43:17
I'm sure it's
656
2597333
533
43:17
just it's just the fact that people will argue about everything. Now.
657
2597866
3800
43:21
You can't do anything nowadays, Steve, without someone, somewhere
658
2601666
4434
43:26
being offended or finding a problem with it
659
2606400
3800
43:30
or having some sort of argument or fight.
660
2610200
3433
43:33
But yes, I do partly agree it did increase
661
2613933
3900
43:38
the number of people watching, because of all of the controversy.
662
2618166
4134
43:42
But that's what happens these days.
663
2622300
2166
43:44
And I think you can't do anything these days.
664
2624466
2967
43:47
You can't release a book, you can't release a movie.
665
2627433
4267
43:52
You can't even have free speech for most of the time
666
2632000
3600
43:56
because someone, somewhere will become angry and upset.
667
2636166
3934
44:03
can I just mention, somebody?
668
2643266
2334
44:05
Mauricio loon.
669
2645600
2566
44:08
Eleanor Chai.
670
2648166
1867
44:10
But it's you.
671
2650033
1133
44:11
Chai.
672
2651166
534
44:11
Yeah, I pronounce that correctly.
673
2651700
2266
44:13
Has asked, have you received that email?
674
2653966
3000
44:17
They want to come and see us in Rome.
675
2657700
3000
44:22
well, it depends when you sent it,
676
2662566
2034
44:24
I mean, I I've replied to everyone so far who has written to me,
677
2664600
4433
44:29
so I did send a reply yesterday to the latest one.
678
2669700
3200
44:33
So we have about maybe 9 or 10 people joining us,
679
2673333
3967
44:38
Steve.
680
2678333
1000
44:39
And I know it's incredible.
681
2679333
1733
44:41
Mr. Duncan, we're going to have to hire a room.
682
2681066
3234
44:44
I think at this rate.
683
2684300
1100
44:45
Well, we won't be doing that either.
684
2685400
2200
44:47
I doubt I'm joking, but, but yes, it will be fantastic.
685
2687600
4100
44:52
And, so, Maurizio, Luchi,
686
2692000
3933
44:56
hope I pronounce that correctly.
687
2696966
2034
44:59
Please tell me if I have.
688
2699000
2300
45:01
And, we will look out for your email.
689
2701300
2766
45:04
Send it again just in case.
690
2704066
2000
45:06
Mr.. Duncan's Mr.. But I don't think he has.
691
2706066
2134
45:08
I think he's well, I haven't checked my emails today.
692
2708200
2166
45:10
If it's today, then. No, that's it, that's it.
693
2710366
2467
45:12
Yeah. I've been kind of busy doing this.
694
2712833
2167
45:15
so Mr.
695
2715000
766
45:15
Duncan would have been preparing today.
696
2715766
1767
45:17
So if you sent it today, then he won't have seen it
697
2717533
3300
45:20
because he hasn't checked his emails today
698
2720833
2200
45:23
because he's been busy preparing for the live stream.
699
2723033
3200
45:26
That's it? That's all you've got to say, Mr.
700
2726233
1567
45:27
Duncan? That's it.
701
2727800
1000
45:28
So if you want to get in touch, there is the email address
702
2728800
3633
45:32
if you want.
703
2732433
800
45:33
If you are serious about it.
704
2733233
2767
45:36
So don't just write and say I might if you are serious about it
705
2736000
4300
45:40
and you want to meet up, give us your details and I'm going
706
2740300
3500
45:43
to create a mailing list with everyone on it.
707
2743800
3000
45:47
And then I will give more details because it's only four weeks away.
708
2747133
4600
45:52
Can you believe it?
709
2752766
934
45:53
I know several days ago, apparently.
710
2753700
2033
45:55
So we'll look out for that.
711
2755733
2633
45:58
Mr. Duncan does receive a lot of emails, so we'll we'll have that.
712
2758366
3900
46:02
We'll have a double check on that.
713
2762266
2134
46:04
But I get hundreds of junk mail and,
714
2764400
2833
46:07
it could have gone into the junk.
715
2767233
1733
46:08
We we hope not.
716
2768966
1634
46:10
So we will look out for you, writing down your surname.
717
2770600
3333
46:14
Yeah. But anyway, Steve.
718
2774400
2433
46:16
Steve. Yeah. Yeah, fine. I'm just fine.
719
2776833
2133
46:18
That.
720
2778966
234
46:19
Just send another email to me and I'll have a look later.
721
2779200
3000
46:22
So don't worry too much about it.
722
2782300
2166
46:24
We'll look it up later.
723
2784466
1167
46:25
Yes, but I have a feeling it may have gone into my junk mail
724
2785633
3333
46:28
because I get about a thousand
725
2788966
3000
46:32
junk emails every month.
726
2792366
3000
46:35
Brilliant. Thank you.
727
2795400
1333
46:36
So I have to have to be careful
728
2796733
2300
46:39
so sometimes I can miss your emails, but please
729
2799033
3567
46:42
get in touch if you would like to meet up with us in Rome.
730
2802600
3366
46:45
Oh, fancy pants, very nice.
731
2805966
3267
46:49
Talking of pants, I have a new pair of shorts
732
2809633
3333
46:52
that I am now going to lose weight and try and fit into,
733
2812966
4767
46:58
and hopefully I will.
734
2818666
2867
47:01
Mr.. Steve, did you did you see the flashing lights?
735
2821533
3367
47:06
I haven't seen the.
736
2826166
1367
47:07
Are you are you referring to the northern lights
737
2827533
3000
47:11
as we as we call them here? Yes.
738
2831100
2033
47:13
created by the, expulsions from the sun.
739
2833133
4567
47:17
apparently, yes.
740
2837766
2500
47:20
It's been pretty spectacular and we can't normally
741
2840266
2734
47:23
see it in the UK unless you go very far north.
742
2843000
3000
47:26
but apparently I, we haven't seen it have we.
743
2846733
2433
47:29
I think we forgot about it and didn't,
744
2849166
1567
47:30
didn't go outside to have a look.
745
2850733
1933
47:32
Sadly we first of all were too far away so we can't see it.
746
2852666
3800
47:36
Also last night it was complete cloud cover, but apparently
747
2856666
4267
47:40
further north north England and of course into Scotland.
748
2860933
4633
47:45
A lot of people were enjoying the aurora borealis,
749
2865966
4334
47:50
the northern lights, and apparently it was spectacular.
750
2870366
3400
47:54
And even in other parts of the world,
751
2874166
2667
47:56
people could see the solar flares
752
2876833
2700
47:59
as they were passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
753
2879533
3000
48:02
Because of course, the sun is very active
754
2882833
3200
48:06
at the moment with its solar flares.
755
2886200
3133
48:09
All of these things
756
2889333
1233
48:10
come off the sun and they travel towards the Earth,
757
2890566
4734
48:15
and they actually make it all the way to the earth.
758
2895533
3867
48:19
But at the moment they are completely crazy.
759
2899400
3000
48:22
They are going wild.
760
2902500
2133
48:24
The sun is erupting.
761
2904633
2700
48:27
All of these huge solar flares.
762
2907333
3667
48:31
I think it's plasma, isn't it?
763
2911000
2066
48:33
Electromagnetic radiation
764
2913066
1900
48:34
hits the atom, hits the atmosphere and interacts particles.
765
2914966
3834
48:38
I'm not sure exactly how it how it happens, but, but yes,
766
2918800
4200
48:43
it's supposedly it's been disrupting electricity
767
2923000
3633
48:46
supplies and mobile phone masts.
768
2926633
3267
48:49
Yes, but I haven't heard too much about that.
769
2929900
3433
48:53
I think maybe in the past we certainly have had disruptions
770
2933933
4900
48:58
due to the solar flares, but I haven't heard that
771
2938833
3200
49:02
we've had any disruptions to services this time.
772
2942033
4433
49:06
No, I think it depends where you are.
773
2946633
2533
49:09
And also just at certain times at the peak of of it.
774
2949166
4100
49:13
So it can cause interference with radio signals as well.
775
2953266
4334
49:17
Fortunately, these days most people don't even used
776
2957600
3400
49:21
radio in the old sense of radio.
777
2961366
4234
49:25
So tuning in your radio like the old days.
778
2965600
3566
49:29
So because that isn't really done them, a lot of it now it's digital,
779
2969533
4100
49:34
the way it's sent through the atmosphere.
780
2974000
2266
49:36
But yes, you're right, Steve, electricity supplies
781
2976266
3534
49:39
have been disrupted in certain areas.
782
2979800
3433
49:43
You wouldn't imagine that, would you?
783
2983233
1600
49:44
You wouldn't imagine the sun
784
2984833
1867
49:46
all of those miles away, could actually do something
785
2986700
3366
49:50
that would affect us in such a dramatic way.
786
2990066
2367
49:52
But there you go.
787
2992433
1600
49:54
It just the power of nature.
788
2994033
3167
49:57
Inaki says that in northern Spain it could be seen so that far south.
789
2997566
5367
50:02
So that's further south than us, Mr.
790
3002933
1833
50:04
Duncan. Incredible.
791
3004766
1234
50:06
but, I was sleeping.
792
3006000
3000
50:09
so were we. I forgot all about it.
793
3009133
2000
50:11
We could have gone outside and had a look,
794
3011133
1633
50:12
but I think it was cloudy.
795
3012766
1334
50:14
but it would have been,
796
3014100
3033
50:18
it would have been a sight to see.
797
3018300
2100
50:20
As we say, if you say.
798
3020400
1600
50:22
Oh, that that'll be a sight to see, it means it'll be something
799
3022000
3666
50:25
interesting to look at.
800
3025666
1600
50:27
Something interesting to see.
801
3027266
2467
50:29
a sight to see,
802
3029733
2367
50:32
something worth looking at.
803
3032100
3000
50:35
I suppose you could also say a sight to behold. Yes.
804
3035600
3766
50:39
So look at, Claudio or Claudio.
805
3039866
3000
50:43
says, have we learnt any
806
3043566
2534
50:46
Italian phrases yet?
807
3046100
3000
50:49
well, the answer is no,
808
3049400
1833
50:51
but I do know some Italian, but only from,
809
3051233
2867
50:54
sort of operas or operettas that I've sung,
810
3054100
3500
50:57
and I don't think, you know, particularly from Requiem.
811
3057933
3300
51:01
so, so I don't think I'm going to be,
812
3061866
2800
51:04
I think we are going to learn, or at least I am some, phrases.
813
3064666
5867
51:10
Can I have a cup of coffee?
814
3070533
2900
51:13
And I would like to order a cup of coffee. Okay.
815
3073433
2100
51:15
Can I have pizza?
816
3075533
1033
51:16
Can I have pasta?
817
3076566
1134
51:17
Can I have more? More food.
818
3077700
2533
51:20
That's all I need to know. Really.
819
3080233
1333
51:21
I don't want to be the typical Brit going abroad
820
3081566
3334
51:24
who doesn't bother to learn anything about the local language.
821
3084900
4000
51:29
An Italian, is it?
822
3089233
1133
51:30
Where could I possibly go?
823
3090366
1534
51:31
Mr. Duncan?
824
3091900
1866
51:33
Where could I go to learn some Italian?
825
3093766
2734
51:36
I don't know, I haven't got a clue.
826
3096500
2500
51:39
Where? What?
827
3099000
900
51:39
Is there any sort of service or or place I could go?
828
3099900
3733
51:43
Maybe on the internet to learn Italian.
829
3103633
2267
51:47
You could go to Italy,
830
3107266
1267
51:48
I might choose, I might go on to YouTube.
831
3108533
2400
51:50
Mr. Duncan.
832
3110933
1267
51:52
And look for an Italian, English, Italian teacher.
833
3112200
3700
51:55
Italian, English and, and learn some Italian phrases.
834
3115900
4133
52:00
Because I want to be Italian.
835
3120433
2900
52:03
I want to sound well.
836
3123333
2100
52:05
Well, that that does not sound Italian, but I want to sound off.
837
3125433
4300
52:09
I want to be able to, you know.
838
3129866
2800
52:12
Well, well, I wonder what Italian for.
839
3132666
2400
52:15
Oh, your nice.
840
3135066
2267
52:17
Do you want my telephone number?
841
3137333
1533
52:18
I think I know that when it's, it's bellissimo.
842
3138866
3000
52:22
But what's wrong with that?
843
3142733
1267
52:24
I want all the ones for sort of.
844
3144000
1533
52:25
You know, if I see a nice Italian man, that's okay.
845
3145533
2633
52:28
I want to be able to converse.
846
3148166
1467
52:29
Yes. You say. Oh, you bellissima. Oh.
847
3149633
3000
52:32
You right?
848
3152700
700
52:33
Yeah. You could say that. Yeah. They. Yeah.
849
3153400
2666
52:37
Maybe I should be teaching Italian.
850
3157733
3000
52:42
So. So the words that I'm interested in are pizza, lasagne.
851
3162366
4934
52:47
But you know those already.
852
3167700
1433
52:49
And food any any food.
853
3169133
2533
52:51
To be honest, I can't wait to spaghetti as well.
854
3171666
2534
52:54
I can't wait to have some spaghetti bolognese.
855
3174200
3000
52:57
To be honest.
856
3177600
1566
52:59
but yes, we will learn.
857
3179166
1600
53:00
In fact, I'm going to,
858
3180766
3400
53:04
Claudio or Claudio.
859
3184166
3000
53:07
is it Claudio or Claudio?
860
3187966
2134
53:10
Number one.
861
3190100
1266
53:11
Claudio.
862
3191366
1034
53:12
Number two.
863
3192400
1000
53:13
Claudio.
864
3193400
1366
53:14
Which one is it? Claudio. Claudio.
865
3194766
3000
53:18
because obviously you are Italian.
866
3198000
2900
53:20
so we would like to know.
867
3200900
1766
53:22
So I'm going to, learn something next week.
868
3202666
3534
53:26
Maybe we could have a little session.
869
3206200
2933
53:29
Mr. Duncan, during our live stream
870
3209133
3167
53:32
where we practice some phrases
871
3212300
3566
53:36
and we get our Italian
872
3216600
3000
53:40
listeners, viewers to,
873
3220166
2600
53:42
critique our expertise.
874
3222766
3334
53:46
Well, Alessandra has already said that my pronunciation was
875
3226233
4400
53:51
excellent.
876
3231200
800
53:53
It was bellissimo.
877
3233133
2567
53:55
Yes. One word. Mr..
878
3235700
1666
53:57
Everybody knows bellissimo.
879
3237366
2434
53:59
If you didn't say hello,
880
3239800
2300
54:02
I wasn't trying to say anything.
881
3242100
3000
54:06
oh. Number one to it's Claudio.
882
3246666
2100
54:08
Oh, it's Claudio, and thank you.
883
3248766
2900
54:11
Olaf.
884
3251666
1234
54:12
Elias. who missed?
885
3252900
2066
54:14
Who was missing me?
886
3254966
867
54:15
But now I'm here.
887
3255833
3000
54:19
by the way, Pedro also asked after me.
888
3259833
2233
54:22
Lots of people ask after me.
889
3262066
1334
54:23
It's so flattering.
890
3263400
2300
54:25
have I had a good week?
891
3265700
1300
54:27
The answer is no.
892
3267000
1800
54:28
I'm being very blunt.
893
3268800
1966
54:30
I cannot say. Can you, Mr. Duncan?
894
3270766
1934
54:32
I cannot say that I've had a good week.
895
3272700
2533
54:35
Well, I suppose one piece of advice that we can give
896
3275233
3067
54:39
this week if you are coming to the UK
897
3279033
3000
54:42
and you are driving a car, don't go anywhere near Birmingham.
898
3282166
4634
54:47
It is possibly
899
3287333
2733
54:50
the worst roads system
900
3290066
2734
54:52
getting in and around Birmingham.
901
3292800
3233
54:56
It has one of the most confusing
902
3296033
3000
54:59
and I suppose over the years, there have been many changes
903
3299266
4567
55:03
to the way the roads and the
904
3303833
1400
55:05
traffic flows in Birmingham, just like many big cities.
905
3305233
3700
55:09
It's changed over the years and it is crazy.
906
3309300
4133
55:13
And I have to say, Steve, you almost lost your temper.
907
3313533
5367
55:18
I got very stressed and I can I can understand why.
908
3318966
3000
55:22
I mean, I obviously told you about it
909
3322366
1534
55:23
afterwards because we went separately.
910
3323900
2300
55:26
but, but yes, it was.
911
3326200
2733
55:28
I found it very stressful.
912
3328933
1967
55:30
we were stuck in traffic, and, I went wrong.
913
3330900
3466
55:34
I missed the car park.
914
3334366
1867
55:36
And then just to get 100 yards back to where I was,
915
3336233
3433
55:40
we were stuck in traffic, and it took us half an hour.
916
3340300
3000
55:43
there was a train strike
917
3343300
2400
55:45
in the UK on Wednesday,
918
3345700
3133
55:49
which meant that all my work colleagues there were ten of
919
3349333
3233
55:52
us all meeting in Birmingham,
920
3352566
1734
55:55
in the right, in the centre of Birmingham, had to drive
921
3355700
3033
55:58
and the traffic was utter chaos because there was a train strike.
922
3358733
4900
56:03
This train strike has been going on for nearly two years.
923
3363833
3000
56:07
I think they're waiting for the, and the conservative government
924
3367633
4633
56:12
haven't given in to their, demands.
925
3372266
3267
56:16
for a pay increase.
926
3376100
2966
56:19
Yeah, well, they've made offers, but they want some anyway.
927
3379066
2667
56:21
I won't go into that.
928
3381733
1467
56:23
I think they're waiting for the Labour government
929
3383200
2366
56:25
to get into power because they know then
930
3385566
1900
56:27
that they will just cave in and get.
931
3387466
1634
56:29
And the Labour government will cave in to them.
932
3389100
3000
56:33
That, But but yes, it was.
933
3393500
2533
56:36
It is.
934
3396033
467
56:36
So I can't say
935
3396500
1200
56:37
I mean, I'm, I'm alive, you know, I mean the top line, I'm alive.
936
3397700
3466
56:41
So it could have been. It could have been worse.
937
3401166
2334
56:43
Yeah. but, there we go.
938
3403500
2933
56:46
So we have,
939
3406433
800
56:48
can I have a cup of tea, please?
940
3408333
1867
56:50
Pull over on.
941
3410200
1600
56:51
It has a dirty pull for though.
942
3411800
3000
56:55
I know. Pull for four.
943
3415166
1000
56:56
That's another one. Please.
944
3416166
1700
56:57
Both of all.
945
3417866
1234
56:59
Both of all, it means please.
946
3419100
2933
57:02
So maybe you want a cup of tea? Please.
947
3422033
2333
57:04
You will say also a very own,
948
3424366
2800
57:07
tasty deity to tea.
949
3427166
3467
57:10
So I'm.
950
3430666
600
57:11
I would imagine tea is 10th or tea fourth of all.
951
3431266
3834
57:15
Can I have a cup of tea, please?
952
3435266
3000
57:19
We've got to learn the basics.
953
3439633
1667
57:21
I do, I, I, I have, I've had Italian lessons before
954
3441300
4233
57:25
because when I have some things in
955
3445533
1500
57:27
I used to be in a big choir in Birmingham
956
3447033
2367
57:29
and we've sung things in Italian, and we used to get lessons
957
3449400
3466
57:32
on how to pronounce the words
958
3452866
1334
57:34
because you have to pronounce them correctly.
959
3454200
3000
57:37
Otherwise it sounds a bit stupid.
960
3457200
2100
57:39
If you're trying to sing in Italian
961
3459300
1633
57:40
and you're not pronouncing it correctly, I'm
962
3460933
2067
57:43
sure we will make the same mistakes that people do
963
3463000
3966
57:47
because there will be certain consonants and vowels
964
3467100
2600
57:49
that are pronounced differently than they are in English.
965
3469700
3766
57:53
And, and we've got to avoid trying to make the classic mistakes.
966
3473966
3900
57:58
in the same way that people who are learning English,
967
3478700
2833
58:01
make those kinds of mistakes when consonants
968
3481533
2967
58:04
and vowels are pronounced differently in their language.
969
3484500
3000
58:07
So I will look this up. Yeah.
970
3487700
2200
58:09
The big difference, Steve, is, of course, grammar is often
971
3489900
4033
58:13
different as well, a bit between languages.
972
3493933
3733
58:17
So maybe words sound the same or similar.
973
3497866
3500
58:21
However,
974
3501900
766
58:23
quite often
975
3503633
667
58:24
grammar or the the order in which words appear
976
3504300
3766
58:28
in sentences might be the other way round.
977
3508500
4300
58:32
So that's that's also something probably to
978
3512800
3000
58:36
to, to bear in mind as well.
979
3516866
2234
58:39
It's interesting.
980
3519100
1066
58:40
How was my Italian?
981
3520166
1400
58:41
I thought it was quite good.
982
3521566
1500
58:43
So apparently if there are double letters
983
3523066
3000
58:46
within an Italian word,
984
3526100
2633
58:48
you have to stress that sound more.
985
3528733
3000
58:51
So that's that's a good tip.
986
3531900
1900
58:53
So already we are learning I c and V test has given me
987
3533800
4066
58:57
the most important phrase that I'm going to require,
988
3537866
4000
59:02
when I'm in Italy, which is you are nice.
989
3542233
3367
59:05
Could you give me your phone number?
990
3545600
1600
59:07
Oh, I won't attempt to pronounce that, but that is, a phrase.
991
3547200
5500
59:12
I'm going to write that one down.
992
3552700
1466
59:14
I'm going to memorise it
993
3554166
1767
59:15
and, let's see if we get into trouble in Italy. Yes,
994
3555933
4067
59:21
we will see what happens, to be honest.
995
3561133
2100
59:23
Well, well, Italians,
996
3563233
1500
59:24
of course, are, very well known for being passionate.
997
3564733
4033
59:29
Rather like the French.
998
3569233
1667
59:30
But I'm hoping so many people think of the French as being romantic.
999
3570900
4500
59:35
And we often think of Italians as being quite passionate
1000
3575766
3934
59:39
and very expressive in the way that they talk. Yeah.
1001
3579700
2900
59:42
And speak.
1002
3582600
1000
59:43
It's a very expressive language.
1003
3583600
2300
59:45
And, Italians are very expressive in the way that they talk.
1004
3585900
3833
59:49
Well, what's interesting is sometimes you might hear
1005
3589733
2867
59:52
Italians talking to each other and you think they're arguing,
1006
3592600
3633
59:56
but in fact they're not.
1007
3596466
1000
59:57
They're just having a normal conversation, but a worse
1008
3597466
3000
60:00
if you can't understand the language.
1009
3600866
1834
60:02
It sounds like they're actually arguing.
1010
3602700
3133
60:06
It's fighting.
1011
3606066
834
60:06
It's a bit like some Indian languages.
1012
3606900
2400
60:11
you think that that people are arguing,
1013
3611666
3200
60:14
but it's just that that's the way the language is pronounced.
1014
3614866
3434
60:19
in certain certain areas of India.
1015
3619000
4100
60:23
but but yes, whereas English is known
1016
3623200
4300
60:27
for being a fairly universal, quietly spoken and, we,
1017
3627500
4666
60:32
we don't raise our voices when we speak.
1018
3632633
3000
60:37
but, it'll be I can't wait.
1019
3637233
2667
60:39
I can't wait to go. Mr. Duncan.
1020
3639900
1800
60:41
I might just move there.
1021
3641700
2000
60:43
Yes, well, it's already I've been looking at a lot of pictures.
1022
3643700
3700
60:47
And also, you can do these wonderful virtual tours
1023
3647400
3600
60:51
around around places using Google Maps.
1024
3651233
3200
60:54
And so already I've, I found that where we are staying
1025
3654833
4633
60:59
or where we will be staying in Rome, it's
1026
3659466
1967
61:01
very close to all the other wonderful sites including, well,
1027
3661433
3800
61:05
including the Vatican, Vatican City.
1028
3665233
3000
61:08
It's just next to us.
1029
3668233
1267
61:10
We might
1030
3670500
600
61:11
well, our hotel might actually be opposite
1031
3671100
3166
61:14
to where the Pope sleeps, so we might see him in
1032
3674833
3167
61:18
in the morning doing his exercises and having his breakfast.
1033
3678033
3233
61:21
We might give him a wave
1034
3681500
1300
61:22
from our hotel window and he might see us doing our exercises.
1035
3682800
3700
61:26
I hope not.
1036
3686666
3000
61:29
I do mine in the nude.
1037
3689766
3000
61:34
Mr.. Mr.
1038
3694200
966
61:35
Duncan, it is enough that you say only the name, and
1039
3695166
4000
61:39
you should be able to get served with spaghetti or ragu.
1040
3699166
5534
61:44
Bolognaise.
1041
3704700
1500
61:46
Oh, yes, I do like tomato.
1042
3706200
2000
61:48
Lots of tomatoes, lots of meat and lots of garlic.
1043
3708200
5066
61:53
And that is the other reason why I'm looking forward to it.
1044
3713266
2400
61:55
Steve. Lots of garlic.
1045
3715666
3000
61:59
You have to learn the Italian for,
1046
3719000
3000
62:02
aubergine.
1047
3722333
1033
62:03
If it's not the same eggplant. Yes.
1048
3723366
3067
62:06
because I don't think
1049
3726666
2200
62:08
we will be going to restaurants where the the the food.
1050
3728866
3067
62:11
There is a picture of the food.
1051
3731933
1867
62:13
Nuh You know, we're going to have to, to learn it.
1052
3733800
3433
62:17
Yeah.
1053
3737466
367
62:17
the thing I always say, I've never, I've never starved
1054
3737833
3733
62:22
at all in any country that I've been to when I lived in China,
1055
3742166
3800
62:26
when I first moved to China, I couldn't really
1056
3746600
2400
62:29
speak much Chinese, but I was still able
1057
3749000
2500
62:31
to go to the supermarket and find food and order food.
1058
3751500
3666
62:35
You just use your finger.
1059
3755566
2000
62:37
The finger is quite good.
1060
3757566
1067
62:38
You just point, you go that that
1061
3758633
3900
62:43
the please of all.
1062
3763700
2633
62:46
That's it. I'm going to learn.
1063
3766333
1633
62:47
I've got a crash course, a crash course in Italian.
1064
3767966
3334
62:51
I'm going to find somebody who, if anyone has any recommendations
1065
3771300
6133
62:57
for somebody on YouTube that they know is teaching Italian
1066
3777433
4367
63:02
and is a good teacher, I want to start from the basics
1067
3782133
3233
63:05
and work up.
1068
3785366
2234
63:07
so, yes, I have got a rule book somewhere with that in because
1069
3787600
4533
63:12
I used to have to sing Italian, but I'd probably forgotten.
1070
3792133
3000
63:15
but there we go.
1071
3795166
1034
63:16
Apparently aubergine.
1072
3796200
1233
63:17
Aubergine is melon.
1073
3797433
1400
63:18
Zana melon.
1074
3798833
2167
63:21
Zana Popov. Oh,
1075
3801000
3000
63:24
melon. Night melon.
1076
3804300
1166
63:25
So we should be able to remember that.
1077
3805466
2767
63:28
Spaghetti.
1078
3808233
867
63:29
Spaghetti.
1079
3809100
1833
63:30
Elio.
1080
3810933
1767
63:32
Alejo is the ugliest.
1081
3812700
2400
63:35
I won't be aglio.
1082
3815100
900
63:36
I think you'll be Alejo, I think.
1083
3816000
2500
63:38
I don't think it stands the g.
1084
3818500
2100
63:40
It might be a g, a sharp g spaghetti aglio
1085
3820600
3433
63:45
or olio anyway.
1086
3825033
1467
63:46
But we're guessing we're gonna. We're going to.
1087
3826500
1833
63:48
I like the last one.
1088
3828333
1700
63:50
Pepper on Chino, pepper on Sino.
1089
3830033
3533
63:55
Anyway, we need to learn some basic rules
1090
3835166
2434
63:57
before we make fools of ourselves in front of millions of people
1091
3837600
3166
64:00
watching us today, Mr. Duncan.
1092
3840766
1634
64:02
Well, all you do is just point.
1093
3842400
2100
64:04
If you got a finger, you can survive.
1094
3844500
2500
64:07
That's what I always say.
1095
3847000
2133
64:09
At the very least, that's it.
1096
3849133
2467
64:11
Of course, nowadays we have technology. Steve.
1097
3851600
2666
64:14
You can you can have a program on your on your phone
1098
3854266
3000
64:17
and you can say what you want to say to the person
1099
3857766
3434
64:21
and then press translate and it will
1100
3861200
3000
64:24
repeat in the native language,
1101
3864200
2700
64:26
the language that you want to translate to.
1102
3866900
3000
64:30
that.
1103
3870300
233
64:30
So there is never any chance of getting stuck for food.
1104
3870533
5767
64:37
But we want to, you know, we don't want
1105
3877466
2667
64:40
there will be an annoying delay with that.
1106
3880133
2833
64:42
So we want to be able to converse
1107
3882966
3000
64:46
naturally, and, that will,
1108
3886433
2433
64:48
impress and make people think that, oh, they may be British,
1109
3888866
5334
64:54
but they're not lazy British who just come here
1110
3894200
3200
64:57
and think that we all have to speak English together.
1111
3897666
3000
65:00
Aglio aglio is garlic.
1112
3900700
3066
65:05
That's it.
1113
3905966
867
65:06
Yes, we've had that one.
1114
3906833
2833
65:09
so that's it.
1115
3909666
700
65:10
So you've got, you've got aubergine
1116
3910366
3000
65:14
melons on and you've got garlic.
1117
3914500
3066
65:18
so, the two together should give you a lovely meal.
1118
3918400
3333
65:22
Well, I have to say one thing.
1119
3922966
3000
65:26
my appetite is building up.
1120
3926600
2400
65:29
Just standing here talking about Italian food.
1121
3929000
3166
65:32
I have to be honest, we can't wait.
1122
3932166
2034
65:34
By the way, to see you in Rome.
1123
3934200
3000
65:37
If you want to join us in Rome at the start of June,
1124
3937200
4000
65:41
send me an email.
1125
3941633
1367
65:43
I will put it on the screen again.
1126
3943000
2000
65:45
For those who may have missed it earlier.
1127
3945000
2400
65:47
Here it is.
1128
3947400
866
65:48
So there it is on the screen right now.
1129
3948266
2500
65:50
Send me an email.
1130
3950766
1167
65:51
Say, Mr.
1131
3951933
533
65:52
Duncan, I want to come and see you in Rome.
1132
3952466
3267
65:55
I want to stroke your
1133
3955933
2267
65:59
shoulder.
1134
3959700
2500
66:02
I want to touch your t shirt.
1135
3962200
2166
66:04
And I want to to to
1136
3964366
2534
66:06
to touch your cap for last year.
1137
3966900
3100
66:10
Let's just remind people what we did when we met up.
1138
3970000
3000
66:13
We met up around.
1139
3973066
1267
66:14
Some of them must have been around 11:00.
1140
3974333
2633
66:16
Do you think something like that give people time to get there?
1141
3976966
4234
66:21
What do you mean?
1142
3981933
833
66:22
When we met people in Paris last year.
1143
3982766
2734
66:25
Met our lovely viewers that met up with this last year.
1144
3985500
3566
66:29
We met for a coffee.
1145
3989500
966
66:30
I think what we're planning to do is all go together
1146
3990466
3600
66:34
to see some of the sights in Rome and,
1147
3994066
3434
66:38
but we will plan that nearer, nearer the time.
1148
3998166
3300
66:41
Yeah, but I think from what?
1149
4001566
2834
66:44
Yeah. Anyway.
1150
4004400
900
66:45
Yeah, we'll leave that nearer the time.
1151
4005300
1900
66:47
Okay.
1152
4007200
1400
66:48
So we don't have any details yet.
1153
4008600
2266
66:50
When once I come up with the details, I will let you know.
1154
4010866
3134
66:54
Send me an email and I will put you on the mailing list.
1155
4014200
3000
66:57
But at the moment we have maybe eight or maybe even nine
1156
4017366
3534
67:01
or perhaps ten people coming,
1157
4021066
3000
67:04
viewers coming to press some flesh in Rome.
1158
4024300
4666
67:08
I can't wait to be honest.
1159
4028966
1300
67:10
Claudia. Claudia has been busy today.
1160
4030266
1900
67:12
She's been sewing some trousers.
1161
4032166
1900
67:14
because they were too long, and now she's going to cook
1162
4034066
3400
67:18
fish with mashed potatoes.
1163
4038033
2233
67:21
so at least half of that meal is appealing to Mr.
1164
4041500
3533
67:25
Duncan.
1165
4045033
3000
67:28
so. Yes.
1166
4048300
766
67:29
still, but obviously been watching us, so I still had time
1167
4049066
3900
67:33
to put some comments into the live chat.
1168
4053033
3000
67:36
so thanks for that.
1169
4056300
2700
67:39
Oh, Beatrice said that
1170
4059000
1900
67:40
she's going to eat macaroni a for Maggio.
1171
4060900
4066
67:45
Oh. is that with.
1172
4065300
1833
67:47
I think that's with cheese.
1173
4067133
2067
67:49
Macaroni cheese?
1174
4069200
1166
67:50
Is that, Beatrice?
1175
4070366
3000
67:53
the important thing is to be with you.
1176
4073833
2867
67:56
Well, don't forget what happened last year.
1177
4076700
2333
67:59
Beatrice, is that whatever you ordered?
1178
4079033
3000
68:02
You can't eat very much.
1179
4082166
1200
68:03
But we just finish it off for you.
1180
4083366
3000
68:07
So, we'll get you to order lots of meals.
1181
4087233
3400
68:10
Beatrice. And then we will just.
1182
4090700
2800
68:13
You can have a couple of spoonfuls,
1183
4093500
2033
68:15
and then we'll finish the rest off.
1184
4095533
2267
68:17
So don't worry about having any food left over.
1185
4097800
3633
68:21
It was the same with my mother.
1186
4101433
1300
68:22
My mother could never eat a big meal when we went out,
1187
4102733
3033
68:25
and we just all used to finish it off for.
1188
4105766
2000
68:30
But it's going to be, it's going to be a lovely trip.
1189
4110266
2434
68:32
So we look forward to that
1190
4112700
933
68:33
and to seeing any of you that want to meet up with us out there.
1191
4113633
3500
68:38
so you are you don't forget the rule that you have to bring it.
1192
4118933
2433
68:41
You have to you have to each bring as a gold sovereign.
1193
4121366
3000
68:47
I'm joking.
1194
4127233
2067
68:49
I, maybe a piece of pasta.
1195
4129300
3000
68:52
Okay,
1196
4132733
2067
68:54
good.
1197
4134800
1733
68:56
Mr. Duncan, it's been ten years.
1198
4136533
1467
68:58
Ten years since I started following you in May.
1199
4138000
3000
69:01
Thank you very much, Claudia.
1200
4141566
1734
69:03
So you've been watching us now for ten years.
1201
4143300
4566
69:08
Can I ask why?
1202
4148100
3000
69:11
That's what the joke we made last year, wasn't it, Steve?
1203
4151700
3133
69:14
When we met up with everyone in Paris, we.
1204
4154833
3033
69:17
We made the joke.
1205
4157866
1067
69:18
We asked everyone. So?
1206
4158933
2600
69:21
So you've all come to come to see us?
1207
4161533
2933
69:24
Can we ask why?
1208
4164466
1834
69:26
Because we're still confused why anyone would want to come and
1209
4166300
3133
69:29
see us.
1210
4169433
1300
69:30
Anyway, we will have a lot of fun and we are really,
1211
4170733
3133
69:33
really looking forward to it very much.
1212
4173866
3334
69:37
Francesca, I think I think Duncan hasn't seen your email.
1213
4177333
3900
69:41
Is that right?
1214
4181233
900
69:42
oh, I, I, I get, I get, I get 20th, 30 emails a day.
1215
4182133
5200
69:47
I know, I'm just asking at the moment, I can't remember.
1216
4187400
3000
69:50
Okay. Then
1217
4190533
700
69:52
Mr. Duncan will reply when he gets a chance.
1218
4192233
3000
69:55
Yeah. Yes.
1219
4195400
2933
69:58
all you have to do is send an email.
1220
4198333
2300
70:00
And if I haven't replied, I don't know why.
1221
4200633
2367
70:03
I don't know why I haven't replied unless I haven't looked.
1222
4203000
2833
70:05
So maybe I haven't looked at the emails
1223
4205833
3000
70:09
and maybe you've sent the emails to me,
1224
4209066
3000
70:12
but I wasn't looking at the emails at the time,
1225
4212066
3000
70:15
so maybe that's the reason.
1226
4215233
1667
70:16
Yes, Francesca, we can order catalogues only.
1227
4216900
3133
70:20
Or is it called Carla's only?
1228
4220433
2033
70:22
Yes. Which we do like.
1229
4222466
2200
70:24
in fact, I prefer those because it's sort of folded over, isn't it?
1230
4224666
5234
70:29
With, with with a stuffing.
1231
4229900
2100
70:32
and, there's a famous episode
1232
4232000
2700
70:34
in Seinfeld where they, where they where the the boss asks
1233
4234700
3533
70:38
one of the characters to go out and get him a Carls only,
1234
4238600
3000
70:41
or is it a cow zone?
1235
4241733
1267
70:43
I think it's Carl's only, it's over. Yes.
1236
4243000
3200
70:46
Particularly looked forward to to one of those,
1237
4246566
3067
70:50
maybe we can have one of those when we all meet up.
1238
4250366
3067
70:53
Well, it's basically a folded pizza.
1239
4253633
2467
70:56
Yeah, delicious.
1240
4256100
1100
70:57
And they sort of stuff it full of things.
1241
4257200
2666
70:59
so. Yes. Delicious.
1242
4259866
2567
71:04
Well,
1243
4264033
1200
71:05
I've definitely got the the taste now.
1244
4265233
2767
71:08
I'm hungry, Mr.
1245
4268000
866
71:08
Duncan, for the for the Italian food I can't wait.
1246
4268866
3034
71:11
I really can't today.
1247
4271900
1366
71:13
By the way, we do have a subject for those wondering,
1248
4273266
3000
71:16
we are talking about words and phrases connected to hot heat,
1249
4276600
3633
71:20
being hot, having lots of heat, hot
1250
4280233
3000
71:23
heat, things that are
1251
4283533
3000
71:26
maybe hot with a temperature.
1252
4286700
3033
71:29
Or maybe there are other ways, of course, of using the word hot,
1253
4289800
3433
71:33
something hot, or something that has lots of heat.
1254
4293500
3266
71:37
We can express those words in many different ways.
1255
4297233
4200
71:41
We'll have a quick break, and then we'll come back
1256
4301600
3000
71:45
and we will look at some words and phrases connected to
1257
4305166
3367
71:49
hot heat.
1258
4309666
2800
71:52
Because it is a very hot day here in the studio.
1259
4312466
4367
72:03
We do. All.
1260
4323800
4200
72:57
Of. That. To.
1261
4377666
13067
73:29
You. Oh, my.
1262
4409900
3000
74:07
I love.
1263
4447433
3000
74:12
English.
1264
4452200
833
74:13
Hot tears with you.
1265
4453033
1500
74:14
And there were the cows.
1266
4454533
1933
74:16
At the moment, we don't have any cows at the back of the house.
1267
4456466
3467
74:20
But maybe soon we will.
1268
4460400
1600
74:22
I will keep you informed on that,
1269
4462000
3166
74:26
if you are interested.
1270
4466966
1400
74:28
Of course.
1271
4468366
3000
74:31
It's a hot one.
1272
4471800
1300
74:33
It really is today.
1273
4473100
2166
74:35
And we are talking about words and phrases connected to heat
1274
4475266
4934
74:40
being hot, and all the other things that we
1275
4480700
3666
74:44
can use as well to express those
1276
4484366
3134
74:47
particular words and phrases.
1277
4487766
2934
74:50
Mr.. Steve is with us as well.
1278
4490700
2000
74:52
There he is.
1279
4492700
900
74:53
Mr.. Steve, I love everyone.
1280
4493600
3933
74:59
And, yes.
1281
4499533
1067
75:00
So we're talking about hot words, are we, Mr. Duncan?
1282
4500600
2300
75:02
There's nothing on the live chat at the moment, but, Gatto,
1283
4502900
4466
75:09
gatto de
1284
4509933
2133
75:12
today.
1285
4512066
2000
75:14
anything with Gatto sounds like a sugary fatty, cakey.
1286
4514066
4067
75:18
We will be ordering that ice cream.
1287
4518733
2433
75:21
Well, now it's said Italian ice cream.
1288
4521166
2000
75:23
Cold gelato.
1289
4523166
2000
75:25
gelato. So,
1290
4525166
3334
75:29
we will be having plenty of that as well.
1291
4529733
2433
75:32
how hot is it at the moment in Rome?
1292
4532166
3000
75:35
Francesca, maybe you can tell us, my,
1293
4535933
3767
75:39
my sister was there a month ago, and it was 36 degrees,
1294
4539900
4966
75:45
so I think it's going to be probably near 40.
1295
4545366
3000
75:48
Well, yes.
1296
4548633
1567
75:50
we'll see.
1297
4550200
1733
75:51
But, Mr.
1298
4551933
1200
75:53
Duncan's been buying some, clothes to wear.
1299
4553133
3767
75:56
When were there some shorts?
1300
4556900
2700
75:59
And we were going to need plenty of cool clothes to wear.
1301
4559600
4633
76:04
No jeans.
1302
4564266
1700
76:05
I don't think we'll be wearing jeans.
1303
4565966
2667
76:08
we've got to wear lots of cool clothes while we're there.
1304
4568633
3767
76:12
Cotton.
1305
4572400
1166
76:13
and lots of factor 50 suncream.
1306
4573566
3667
76:19
Bravo.
1307
4579200
500
76:19
Says Alessandra. Thank you.
1308
4579700
2466
76:22
I think I'm I to pronounce that correctly.
1309
4582166
3000
76:27
Good.
1310
4587166
2934
76:30
As is is here.
1311
4590100
1366
76:31
Hello. As is, as is.
1312
4591466
2567
76:34
So I think at the moment.
1313
4594033
1300
76:35
I did check the temperature, by the way, in Rome, Steve.
1314
4595333
2733
76:38
That's why I was going to mention it.
1315
4598066
2200
76:40
it's about 26, 25, 26.
1316
4600266
3034
76:43
So about the same temperature as here at the moment, right.
1317
4603300
2900
76:46
It's just been nice. Under 30.
1318
4606200
2666
76:48
But then I have a feeling by the time we arrive there
1319
4608866
3467
76:52
in four weeks from now, I think it's going to be a little warmer.
1320
4612533
4933
76:57
So I am expecting that to be the case.
1321
4617733
2967
77:00
Talking of which, would you like to see some words
1322
4620700
3000
77:03
and phrases connected to heat and hot?
1323
4623700
3366
77:07
Well, I hope you do
1324
4627600
766
77:08
because there are some coming on the screen right now.
1325
4628366
3800
77:12
We have some words and phrases because it is all about English,
1326
4632566
4634
77:17
the English, and it is with you every Sunday.
1327
4637200
3000
77:20
Hot potato.
1328
4640466
2034
77:22
Hot potato is the first phrase that we are going to talk about.
1329
4642500
6033
77:29
It is a phrase that we use when we are discussing
1330
4649033
4567
77:34
a sensitive subject, or maybe something
1331
4654100
3500
77:37
that might be controversial, something that a person
1332
4657600
3333
77:40
might avoid talking about.
1333
4660933
3400
77:44
Perhaps we describe it as a
1334
4664333
2167
77:47
hot potato.
1335
4667666
2167
77:49
It is something that you can't hold for very long,
1336
4669833
2967
77:52
or maybe something that you don't want to hold.
1337
4672800
3133
77:56
Hence the phrase hot potato.
1338
4676333
3233
77:59
Can you think of something that might be a hot potato? Mr.
1339
4679566
3100
78:02
Steve, a sensitive, controversial subject religion?
1340
4682666
4167
78:07
it could, it could be religion,
1341
4687600
3200
78:11
could be the, conflict in the Middle East.
1342
4691066
4367
78:15
At the moment, that's a bit of a hot potato,
1343
4695433
3000
78:18
because when you start discussing things,
1344
4698466
3000
78:23
like the conflict in the Middle East with,
1345
4703033
3633
78:27
friends, colleagues, people might have differing views,
1346
4707533
4000
78:32
and they might be very, very tempted to hold
1347
4712100
4200
78:36
very strongly to their views and try and persuade you.
1348
4716300
3000
78:39
And you might end up in an argument or a fight.
1349
4719433
3000
78:44
yes. So I would say that's
1350
4724300
1700
78:46
definitely a hot potato at the moment,
1351
4726000
2966
78:48
because everybody has different views on that particular subject.
1352
4728966
3867
78:52
So I certainly think one of the easiest ways to silence
1353
4732933
2900
78:55
a room is, say, Israel.
1354
4735833
1500
78:58
If you say Israel, everyone
1355
4738400
1566
78:59
will go completely quiet around you.
1356
4739966
3267
79:03
So so you might say that that particular subject
1357
4743766
2634
79:06
and what is happening there and around abouts is definitely
1358
4746400
3966
79:11
without a doubt, a hot potato.
1359
4751133
4600
79:16
Yes, because these are subjects like religion, like politics.
1360
4756300
3533
79:20
Any subject that inflames people's passions
1361
4760400
4466
79:25
and strongly held views,
1362
4765500
3000
79:28
which could ultimately
1363
4768700
3100
79:31
result in an argument or a conflict
1364
4771800
3000
79:35
amongst your friends or family,
1365
4775200
2600
79:37
then, you could describe that as a subject
1366
4777800
2533
79:40
that is a hot potato.
1367
4780333
3000
79:43
I think it's a good phrase as well.
1368
4783333
1667
79:45
Very expressive,
1369
4785000
1200
79:46
because you can imagine something that you can't hold in your hand
1370
4786200
3066
79:49
for very long.
1371
4789600
900
79:50
So maybe something that you avoid talking about
1372
4790500
3533
79:54
would also be a hot potato.
1373
4794033
3500
79:57
Here's another one, Steve.
1374
4797533
1200
80:00
Something that is too hot to handle.
1375
4800700
3966
80:04
Some people say that about us.
1376
4804666
2200
80:06
Our live stream.
1377
4806866
1367
80:08
That's why sometimes people people just can't stay for long.
1378
4808233
3867
80:12
Because it's just it's just too exciting.
1379
4812100
2666
80:14
It's too it's too hot to handle, to be hard to control.
1380
4814766
6434
80:21
Or you have to handle something with care.
1381
4821200
3000
80:24
It is.
1382
4824833
867
80:25
It is too hot to handle maybe a person.
1383
4825700
4366
80:30
Maybe if you know someone and they're very,
1384
4830466
3567
80:34
maybe they're a person who likes lots of fun or lots of excitement.
1385
4834266
3700
80:37
You might say they are too hot to handle.
1386
4837966
2367
80:40
They are someone who is who is very hard to to
1387
4840333
3733
80:44
to maybe get along with or know or maybe okay, I suppose also,
1388
4844100
4900
80:50
a certain subject as well.
1389
4850166
2200
80:52
So this might be similar to the one where we just looked at
1390
4852366
3134
80:55
something that is too hot to handle.
1391
4855800
3133
80:58
Claudio talking of something that's too hot to handle,
1392
4858966
3134
81:02
or a hot potato in Italy.
1393
4862666
3600
81:06
says Claudia, don't ask for ketchup
1394
4866600
3033
81:10
on the pizza or spaghetti.
1395
4870666
2600
81:13
Or you could be endangering yourself.
1396
4873266
3000
81:16
Yes, because it's going to be insulting to the the chef.
1397
4876933
3767
81:20
that you want to smother their creation.
1398
4880933
4833
81:26
in something as lowbrow,
1399
4886366
3567
81:29
as as tomato ketchup. Yes.
1400
4889933
3000
81:32
So you won't ask for that?
1401
4892933
1867
81:34
Well,
1402
4894800
500
81:35
one of the things about the British,
1403
4895300
1433
81:36
of course, is we like certain things.
1404
4896733
1967
81:38
We like certain types of food.
1405
4898700
1266
81:39
We like chips, we like tomato sauce or ketchup,
1406
4899966
5000
81:45
and we also like baked beans as well.
1407
4905433
2567
81:48
So those things we love here.
1408
4908000
2866
81:50
But when we travel to other countries,
1409
4910866
1900
81:52
we expect those things to be there as well.
1410
4912766
2734
81:55
And quite often people are disappointed when they are not
1411
4915500
3166
81:58
something that is too hot to handle
1412
4918833
3000
82:01
can be too hard to control.
1413
4921833
2667
82:04
You have to handle that thing very, very commonly
1414
4924500
3566
82:08
used to describe people.
1415
4928066
1900
82:09
you might say, oh,
1416
4929966
3200
82:13
why don't we have, I'd like to move Paul into your team.
1417
4933766
4667
82:19
and then the person,
1418
4939500
2466
82:21
somebody in that team might say, I don't want him in my team.
1419
4941966
4134
82:26
He's too hot to handle.
1420
4946100
1900
82:28
Meaning he's trouble.
1421
4948000
1633
82:29
Yes. Might cause problems in the team.
1422
4949633
3067
82:33
going to be a difficult person to
1423
4953600
2766
82:36
to manage somebody that's difficult to manage in a team at work.
1424
4956366
3967
82:40
You could describe them as too hot to handle.
1425
4960333
2700
82:43
They might have a fiery temper, something like that.
1426
4963033
3200
82:46
In a relationship
1427
4966233
2767
82:49
they're too hot to handle.
1428
4969000
1433
82:50
I dumped I dumped her because she was too hot
1429
4970433
3433
82:53
to handle,
1430
4973866
3000
82:57
somebody that's just difficult
1431
4977033
2367
82:59
to control, difficult to get on with.
1432
4979400
3500
83:03
Here's another one.
1433
4983166
834
83:04
Oh, by the way, today is Mother's Day in Brazil.
1434
4984000
3500
83:07
Happy Mother's Day to Brazil.
1435
4987533
2333
83:09
Yes, here.
1436
4989866
1767
83:11
Today is Mother's Day in Brazil.
1437
4991633
1700
83:13
The mothers of the families will come
1438
4993333
1667
83:15
to have lunch at my house, so I can't participate in the chat,
1439
4995000
3833
83:18
but I am following the class anyway.
1440
4998833
3000
83:22
Thank you very much and happy Mother's Day to Brazil.
1441
5002100
3233
83:25
Here's another one. Steve.
1442
5005466
1100
83:26
We're talking about heat and hot words.
1443
5006566
3867
83:30
The heat is on.
1444
5010933
2267
83:36
The heat is on.
1445
5016233
800
83:37
Yes, often.
1446
5017033
3000
83:40
Criminals will use that phrase when they,
1447
5020766
3000
83:44
to describe the the fact that they may
1448
5024700
3166
83:48
the police might be onto them, on
1449
5028100
3200
83:51
and they can say, oh, the heat is on, the heat is on you.
1450
5031300
3600
83:55
It means that, you might have done something wrong,
1451
5035300
3400
83:59
or maybe you weren't working hard enough at work
1452
5039233
3267
84:02
and your sales figures are down, or you've
1453
5042900
3800
84:07
you've had an assessment from your manager at work
1454
5047100
3666
84:11
and they say to you, oh, you're not doing very well in these areas.
1455
5051100
4700
84:15
Whatever it is, whatever your work is.
1456
5055800
2766
84:18
And then you might feel that the heat is on you.
1457
5058566
3034
84:22
The heat people are looking at you, watching you, assessing you.
1458
5062266
3467
84:26
maybe they're after you.
1459
5066300
2266
84:28
If you're a criminal, there's pressure,
1460
5068566
2267
84:32
bearing down on you.
1461
5072300
1366
84:33
Things, whatever
1462
5073666
900
84:34
reason, things are becoming difficult or challenging as well.
1463
5074566
3800
84:38
So in your job, in your life, the heat is on.
1464
5078366
3834
84:42
Maybe you are applying for a job, and maybe there are only 3 or 4
1465
5082433
4667
84:47
people left that who are applying for that job,
1466
5087100
4500
84:52
so the interviews will become much harder.
1467
5092033
3433
84:55
You can say that the heat is on
1468
5095466
3000
84:58
everything has become difficult.
1469
5098466
2900
85:01
There are more challenges coming your way.
1470
5101366
3167
85:04
The heat is on.
1471
5104800
2433
85:07
Yes, you might have had, a nice relaxing job for a while.
1472
5107233
3600
85:11
And suddenly, from above the targets,
1473
5111200
3366
85:15
there's a lot of competition in the marketplace,
1474
5115000
2733
85:17
and suddenly your job becomes more difficult because,
1475
5117733
3267
85:21
you've got to work harder and you're under pressure.
1476
5121000
3200
85:24
you're being set targets.
1477
5124766
1934
85:26
You've got to meet the heat is on, the heat is on.
1478
5126700
3266
85:29
It means that, you're under pressure to do something.
1479
5129966
3367
85:33
Something, something becoming more difficult or challenging.
1480
5133333
2867
85:36
Can we say scorching?
1481
5136200
1466
85:37
Says Aziz Aziz?
1482
5137666
2234
85:39
Yeah, that is a word you can use scorching if something is hot.
1483
5139900
4166
85:44
Very, very hot.
1484
5144700
1033
85:45
It's a scorching day.
1485
5145733
2133
85:47
today.
1486
5147866
1100
85:48
Not it isn't scorching today.
1487
5148966
2600
85:51
It's about 26 degrees outside.
1488
5151566
2434
85:54
Probably. Probably not that.
1489
5154000
1733
85:55
But if it's a very hot day, if you're if it's 40 degrees
1490
5155733
4167
85:59
outside or 30 something, you can say it's scorching weather
1491
5159900
4333
86:05
because when something is scorched
1492
5165033
2400
86:07
means it goes, it's almost in flame.
1493
5167433
3000
86:11
but not quite.
1494
5171066
1267
86:12
Yes, it dries out to the point
1495
5172333
3567
86:15
where it could at any moment catch fire.
1496
5175900
3400
86:19
It is really? Yes, really.
1497
5179300
2300
86:21
But of course, something that has been burnt
1498
5181600
3133
86:25
and the fire has gone
1499
5185866
1567
86:27
out, we can say that it has been scorched.
1500
5187433
3700
86:31
So maybe something caught fire and then the fire was put out.
1501
5191666
5167
86:36
But everything is now burnt and black.
1502
5196833
3867
86:40
We can say that it is scorched as well.
1503
5200700
3400
86:44
So yes, a good a good word there.
1504
5204466
2434
86:46
I like that one. Here's another one. Steve.
1505
5206900
2366
86:49
I'm sure you know lots of these.
1506
5209266
2234
86:51
Oh yes. What is a hot head?
1507
5211500
3000
86:54
Yes. Somebody that's,
1508
5214533
2933
86:57
very quick to, get angry.
1509
5217466
3234
87:01
somebody gets easily annoyed.
1510
5221100
3966
87:06
Is a passionate person probably emotional?
1511
5226000
3366
87:09
Maybe they're their emotions rule them
1512
5229566
3134
87:13
and, they're described as a hothead.
1513
5233200
3500
87:16
Somebody that very easily loses their temper
1514
5236700
3000
87:20
and is seen to be somebody that doesn't
1515
5240133
3000
87:23
have a very good control over their emotions, as
1516
5243366
3000
87:26
I would say, is a hothead.
1517
5246766
1600
87:28
Yeah, I think I think so.
1518
5248366
1834
87:30
Some of them I think sometimes.
1519
5250200
1600
87:31
Mr.. Steve.
1520
5251800
1200
87:33
Mr.. Steve, you can be a little hot around the head
1521
5253000
3433
87:37
sometimes I on the road I become a hot head on the road.
1522
5257033
4133
87:41
Oh my goodness.
1523
5261166
1200
87:42
You're like you're like that character doctor Jekyll and Mr.
1524
5262366
4134
87:46
Hyde.
1525
5266500
900
87:47
It's like you've drunk some sort of potion
1526
5267400
3000
87:50
and you've turned into this angry driver.
1527
5270400
3000
87:53
get out the way, whip
1528
5273733
2100
87:56
something like that.
1529
5276833
1000
87:57
A hothead, somebody that's,
1530
5277833
2933
88:00
probably guess that their emotions are ruling
1531
5280766
3667
88:04
them, are in control of their behaviour.
1532
5284433
3000
88:07
I think it is hard to control them. Yes.
1533
5287500
2900
88:10
I think it's safe
1534
5290400
633
88:11
to say many people, when they get behind the wheel of a car,
1535
5291033
3467
88:14
because I think that's a very good point.
1536
5294833
1767
88:16
You see, I think a lot of people become a hothead
1537
5296600
3933
88:21
when they're behind the wheel of a car
1538
5301100
2200
88:23
because they're under a certain type of pressure.
1539
5303300
2666
88:25
They're in a very unusual, confined environment,
1540
5305966
4067
88:30
so they become a little bit more annoyed or easily annoyed
1541
5310333
4167
88:34
or maybe, of course, a reckless person
1542
5314500
3000
88:37
as well, a person who often does things dangerous,
1543
5317600
4033
88:41
or maybe they don't care about other people safety.
1544
5321966
3200
88:45
We can say they're a bit of a hothead.
1545
5325500
1766
88:47
They just they just have no thought for other people.
1546
5327266
4400
88:52
Yes. Don't. Don't upset the boss.
1547
5332266
3000
88:55
He's a bit of a hothead.
1548
5335266
1700
88:56
She's a bit of a hothead.
1549
5336966
1834
88:58
That sounds like you're talking from experience there.
1550
5338800
2933
89:01
Yes, but we all know people that.
1551
5341733
1900
89:03
Particularly if they're in positions of authority.
1552
5343633
3033
89:07
maybe it's your manager or your boss at work.
1553
5347200
3000
89:10
They're probably under a lot of pressure.
1554
5350433
1633
89:12
Maybe they don't handle the pressure very well.
1555
5352066
2800
89:14
and, if you do something to annoy
1556
5354866
2667
89:17
them, they might start shouting at you.
1557
5357533
3000
89:21
or if somebody in a meeting
1558
5361400
3000
89:24
starts shouting.
1559
5364466
2834
89:27
Or you might describe them as a
1560
5367300
2100
89:30
he's a bit of a hothead,
1561
5370966
2334
89:33
apparently. Hot.
1562
5373300
1666
89:34
Well, heat in Italian is testicle Kaldor.
1563
5374966
3334
89:40
Whereas that if a hot head test, gal
1564
5380200
4433
89:44
to test the counter a a testicle.
1565
5384666
4034
89:48
you'll hot head
1566
5388700
3000
89:51
that sort of thing.
1567
5391933
2333
89:54
That's a good. Well, thank you.
1568
5394266
1300
89:55
Thank you very much, Senator Reno, for that
1569
5395566
3000
89:58
to be hot under the collar.
1570
5398933
2567
90:01
So when we talk about your collar, we are talking about this part of
1571
5401500
3400
90:04
your clothing.
1572
5404900
1700
90:06
So, Mr.
1573
5406600
933
90:07
Steve, also, you can see he has
1574
5407533
3000
90:10
a collar on his shirt.
1575
5410666
2100
90:12
So to get hot.
1576
5412766
3000
90:17
Hot under the collar. Yes.
1577
5417100
1566
90:18
It means you get stressed, angry, usually used isn't it,
1578
5418666
4234
90:22
to describe somebody
1579
5422900
1000
90:23
that you could again
1580
5423900
1166
90:25
be in that in a meeting
1581
5425066
1267
90:26
and somebody is really annoying you,
1582
5426333
1533
90:27
and you can feel yourself getting more and more wound up
1583
5427866
3000
90:31
and you and then you start arguing with them
1584
5431133
3467
90:34
and you're getting hot, and you literally do
1585
5434900
2766
90:37
get hot under the collar, because if you've got a collar on
1586
5437666
3000
90:41
and when you get excited or upset, then your body heats
1587
5441200
3966
90:45
up, doesn't it?
1588
5445166
934
90:46
And of course, if you've got a collar on that heat, can't escape
1589
5446100
4233
90:50
so you feel hot under the collar
1590
5450766
2567
90:53
because the heat from your passion
1591
5453333
3000
90:56
is is, is is is trying to escape.
1592
5456433
3533
91:00
which is why, collars in hot, sunny days.
1593
5460600
4500
91:05
but it's usually it's
1594
5465600
1533
91:07
not just to, to say, describe that you are hot.
1595
5467133
3000
91:10
It's used to express that you are getting upset
1596
5470166
4467
91:14
in some way and that upset is causing you to get hot.
1597
5474633
3100
91:18
It is figurative,
1598
5478000
1800
91:19
hot under the collar to feel stressed, angry, or of course
1599
5479800
3900
91:25
excited as well.
1600
5485233
1633
91:26
Because if maybe especially men,
1601
5486866
2900
91:29
especially those Italian men watching at the moment, you know,
1602
5489766
3634
91:33
you like to see the beautiful ladies go by, you might see
1603
5493400
3733
91:37
a very beautiful Italian lady go by and you get.
1604
5497133
3433
91:42
Ooh, ooh, you get hot under the collar.
1605
5502600
3466
91:46
Yeah.
1606
5506166
267
91:46
So I suppose it could be used to describe sort of,
1607
5506433
3233
91:50
you know, sexual
1608
5510666
2234
91:52
attraction, getting, getting excited from that.
1609
5512900
3666
91:56
But commonly it's used if,
1610
5516933
2867
91:59
if you're talking to somebody, it's used figuratively.
1611
5519800
3433
92:03
Quite often it's talking to somebody
1612
5523233
2400
92:05
and they start to get very angry and irritated with you.
1613
5525633
3100
92:09
A you might say to them, oh, there's
1614
5529300
1566
92:10
no need to get hot under the collar.
1615
5530866
2934
92:13
you're saying to them, you know, don't you know, calm down.
1616
5533800
4766
92:19
That's how it's commonly used.
1617
5539900
2433
92:22
Here's another one Steve.
1618
5542333
2800
92:25
This might also be connected to the previous one
1619
5545133
3800
92:29
to get hot and heavy.
1620
5549466
3834
92:33
Hot and heavy a passionate or intense manner.
1621
5553833
5367
92:39
A person who is getting hot and heavy,
1622
5559600
3400
92:43
they are getting passionate like the Italians
1623
5563400
3900
92:47
or they have a very intense manner.
1624
5567700
3233
92:51
You can say that they are hot and heavy. Yes.
1625
5571566
3334
92:54
Usually used to describe someone who's trying to make, let's say,
1626
5574900
4533
92:59
sexual advances on you say you, you go out for the evening.
1627
5579433
5667
93:05
I'm imagining we're in Rome,
1628
5585600
3000
93:08
and I see a beautiful Italian man,
1629
5588933
3767
93:13
and he says, come back to my apartment.
1630
5593000
2366
93:15
While he'll say that in Italian, I don't know what that is.
1631
5595366
3000
93:18
And I'll go back
1632
5598433
1433
93:19
and he'll suddenly start to move closer to me on the couch.
1633
5599866
3500
93:23
And maybe,
1634
5603366
867
93:24
maybe I start petting my neck and then he might start to kiss me.
1635
5604233
3900
93:28
Then I will say that he.
1636
5608633
1167
93:29
Oh, you're getting a bit hot and heavy here, and I'll run out.
1637
5609800
3200
93:35
and I probably won't run out,
1638
5615600
1600
93:37
but it's when somebody's starting to get, you know,
1639
5617200
3000
93:41
oh, you know, getting passionate with you, okay?
1640
5621166
2934
93:44
Kissing you and and all that.
1641
5624100
1833
93:45
And you might run out and you're,
1642
5625933
1733
93:47
you might say to your friend at work, oh,
1643
5627666
2700
93:50
that your friend at my I.
1644
5630366
1134
93:51
Oh, how did it, how did you go on last night with, Mario
1645
5631500
3700
93:55
at the club and, you might.
1646
5635733
2467
93:58
Oh, well, I left because you got a bit hot and heavy.
1647
5638200
3000
94:01
so you're really saying you didn't want that attention?
1648
5641366
3434
94:06
Yeah.
1649
5646000
600
94:06
well, hot and heavy can be a positive move or a negative one.
1650
5646600
4966
94:12
So a passionate or intense manner, and I think I think Mr.
1651
5652166
4934
94:17
Steve was getting very hot under the collar then
1652
5657100
3033
94:20
when he was describing that scenario, I think.
1653
5660600
2733
94:23
So here's another one.
1654
5663333
2433
94:25
Oh my goodness, another one
1655
5665766
1234
94:28
to have the hots for someone.
1656
5668866
3000
94:32
So maybe you see someone you are attracted to.
1657
5672166
3000
94:35
So quite often this is a personal feeling.
1658
5675466
3134
94:39
The feeling of attraction from from from one person to another.
1659
5679066
3934
94:43
You have the hots for someone to feel
1660
5683366
3267
94:46
deeply attracted to, someone.
1661
5686633
3233
94:50
Maybe there is someone you have the hots for you.
1662
5690633
3767
94:54
Yes, again, I'm imagining I'm sitting in a restaurant
1663
5694866
2767
94:57
in Rome, okay?
1664
5697633
1667
94:59
And I'm glancing across the room
1665
5699300
1666
95:00
and there's a very attractive Italian man.
1666
5700966
2300
95:03
And, I'll turn around Mr.
1667
5703266
2200
95:05
Duncan and say, oh, I've got the hots for him.
1668
5705466
2967
95:08
And then Mr.
1669
5708433
567
95:09
Duncan will will, will get very angry, slap
1670
5709000
2800
95:11
me across the face, and, it'll all be over.
1671
5711800
3500
95:15
Yes. Inevitable now. Joking.
1672
5715900
1633
95:17
Of course.
1673
5717533
833
95:18
The only the only person slapping anyone's face will be
1674
5718366
3134
95:21
the person you're staring at.
1675
5721500
1600
95:23
They will come over and slap you in the face, I think.
1676
5723100
3000
95:26
Yes, again.
1677
5726233
500
95:26
Beatrice might see me looking across.
1678
5726733
2600
95:29
for example, or Francesca or,
1679
5729333
3967
95:33
anybody else that's coming along and with us,
1680
5733300
4100
95:37
and they might see me staring at a man across the room.
1681
5737666
3267
95:41
maybe.
1682
5741300
1300
95:42
Or maybe somebody I've seen in the in the Parthenon and,
1683
5742600
4766
95:48
and they might Claudia might say to me, oh, I knocked.
1684
5748466
3467
95:51
Oh, dear God.
1685
5751933
867
95:52
Yet I don't think is able to go, but, Beatrice might say,
1686
5752800
4300
95:57
oh, are you getting have you got the hots for that man?
1687
5757100
3200
96:00
And I'll say, yes.
1688
5760900
2033
96:02
Can you distract Mr. Duncan?
1689
5762933
1867
96:04
I'm just going to get his telephone number for later.
1690
5764800
2800
96:07
It sounds like Steve wants someone to take him up to the Parthenon.
1691
5767600
3000
96:12
can I just say Marsha?
1692
5772400
1500
96:13
Helen. Miranda.
1693
5773900
1833
96:15
Condo. Soap duster. Okay.
1694
5775733
3100
96:18
Podesta,
1695
5778866
1734
96:20
says thank you, Mr. Duncan.
1696
5780600
2633
96:23
She also said earlier.
1697
5783233
1200
96:24
Thank you, Mr. Steve.
1698
5784433
2400
96:26
Not sure.
1699
5786833
500
96:27
Why is it just for being here?
1700
5787333
2700
96:30
It's very nice of you to say so.
1701
5790033
2033
96:32
I don't think anyone is thanking us for that.
1702
5792066
2334
96:34
Oh, I've got the hots for him anyway, moving on
1703
5794400
3200
96:38
to blow hot and cold.
1704
5798866
3600
96:43
An unsure person or
1705
5803000
2900
96:45
conflicting behaviour.
1706
5805900
2966
96:48
So maybe.
1707
5808866
1134
96:50
Maybe a person is sending out positive signals
1708
5810000
3633
96:54
or they seem interested, but then a few moments later
1709
5814133
3733
96:57
or the next day they don't seem very interested.
1710
5817866
3534
97:01
You can say that they are blowing hot
1711
5821900
2900
97:04
and cold and unsure person
1712
5824800
3000
97:08
quite often will blow hot and cold.
1713
5828100
2633
97:10
They can't.
1714
5830733
1133
97:11
They can't decide.
1715
5831866
1567
97:13
They can't come to a decision.
1716
5833433
3000
97:17
Or maybe they've just got,
1717
5837100
1733
97:18
maybe they're just that kind of indecisive person.
1718
5838833
2933
97:21
Or maybe it's their emotions.
1719
5841766
1900
97:23
Again, I'm imagining when we're in Rome,
1720
5843666
3734
97:27
a man, a very attractive Italian man.
1721
5847733
3200
97:30
All right. are you excited?
1722
5850933
3233
97:34
I think Steve is getting excited because of the hot weather
1723
5854566
3000
97:38
that comes up to me in a restaurant and, takes me out
1724
5858333
3167
97:41
for the evening, says, oh, you're very attractive English man.
1725
5861500
3000
97:44
Can I take you out for a meal?
1726
5864566
2167
97:46
And, we have a lovely evening.
1727
5866733
2700
97:49
And then the next day, he doesn't call me,
1728
5869433
1967
97:52
understandable.
1729
5872633
1633
97:54
And, so I phoned him up and say, what's what's wrong?
1730
5874266
3634
97:57
You're blowing very hot and cold.
1731
5877900
2400
98:00
I was going to say something.
1732
5880300
3566
98:03
I know you were going to say something.
1733
5883900
1166
98:05
I was going to say something. Then we won't go there. Yeah.
1734
5885066
2734
98:07
So if if you go out with somebody and,
1735
5887800
3166
98:12
they're all over you, you know, they're very attracted to you.
1736
5892600
3033
98:15
They're what they want to see you.
1737
5895633
1167
98:16
They want to go out with you.
1738
5896800
1233
98:18
They want to take you back to that apartment.
1739
5898033
2700
98:20
And then the next day,
1740
5900733
2400
98:23
you leave, and then the next day, they don't bother to call you.
1741
5903133
3267
98:26
In fact, you don't hear from them for days,
1742
5906400
1766
98:28
and then suddenly they call you up.
1743
5908166
1600
98:29
Oh, how are you all come around and see me.
1744
5909766
2234
98:32
I'd love to see you again.
1745
5912000
1133
98:33
We had such a wonderful evening together.
1746
5913133
2333
98:35
And that again you go and you have a passionate evening.
1747
5915466
3000
98:38
And then the next day, next week you don't hear from them.
1748
5918833
3367
98:42
Hear from them again.
1749
5922366
834
98:43
You say to your friend, it just blowing hot and cold all the time.
1750
5923200
3866
98:47
One minute they want to see me, the next minute they don't.
1751
5927400
3000
98:50
Yeah, it can be any decision as well.
1752
5930400
2300
98:52
Maybe.
1753
5932700
433
98:53
Maybe you want a person to come to a decision about something
1754
5933133
3567
98:57
and then they keep changing their mind.
1755
5937066
3000
99:00
That also can be described as blowing hot and cold.
1756
5940300
4933
99:05
Here's another one. Steve.
1757
5945366
1167
99:09
Hot to trot.
1758
5949200
2433
99:11
I am hot to trot.
1759
5951633
3000
99:15
I am very eager, very enthusiastic.
1760
5955033
4767
99:19
I can't wait to do that particular thing.
1761
5959800
3300
99:23
I am hot to trot for Italy.
1762
5963100
3266
99:28
Yes. Are you hot to trot?
1763
5968300
3166
99:31
Yes, I mean yes, that phrase can be used.
1764
5971466
2534
99:34
Are you ready to do it?
1765
5974000
2400
99:36
eager to begin something.
1766
5976400
1566
99:37
You can say that you're hot to trot.
1767
5977966
1634
99:39
Oh, you can say, oh, we're going out on a work trip.
1768
5979600
3000
99:42
Are you hot to trot?
1769
5982666
2034
99:44
Oh, well, you wouldn't really.
1770
5984700
1200
99:45
It's not a commonly used phrase these days, but you can.
1771
5985900
2600
99:48
You can use.
1772
5988500
700
99:49
It just means.
1773
5989200
700
99:49
Are you ready?
1774
5989900
1066
99:50
Are you ready? Are you hot to trot?
1775
5990966
2134
99:53
In other words, it's a bit like a bit like a
1776
5993100
3000
99:57
a horse. Yes. Trotting.
1777
5997000
2133
99:59
Are you ready to go?
1778
5999133
1167
100:00
Yes. It's very eager. It can't wait.
1779
6000300
3000
100:03
You might say it's champing at the bit
1780
6003466
2567
100:06
like an, like a horse when it's excited.
1781
6006033
2733
100:08
Now, I didn't I didn't mean that.
1782
6008766
1234
100:10
Did I say Parthenon?
1783
6010000
1633
100:11
Did I didn't mean the Parthenon.
1784
6011633
1533
100:14
We obviously won't be going there in Rome.
1785
6014366
3000
100:17
I think I was thinking of the Colosseum, was I?
1786
6017666
2000
100:19
Oh, stage plays.
1787
6019666
1367
100:21
But anyway, we will be visiting lots of places in Rome.
1788
6021033
3233
100:24
Stop.
1789
6024433
1300
100:25
Please stop.
1790
6025733
3000
100:28
There will be lots of ruins around Rome.
1791
6028766
3167
100:32
and I know that's just me and Steve.
1792
6032233
2633
100:34
There is something called the pantheon, apparently in Rome.
1793
6034866
5200
100:40
Maybe that's what I meant.
1794
6040766
2700
100:43
Who knows?
1795
6043466
3000
100:48
Next.
1796
6048200
300
100:48
Well, Mr. Duncan, I'm good.
1797
6048500
1433
100:49
I've got nothing else to say on.
1798
6049933
1333
100:51
Hot to trot, hot to trot.
1799
6051266
3000
100:55
You might feel the heat, Mr.
1800
6055133
2033
100:57
Steve.
1801
6057166
1067
100:58
Do you feel the heat?
1802
6058233
2167
101:00
To be aware of the pressure?
1803
6060400
2333
101:02
One is under?
1804
6062733
1467
101:04
So maybe you are feeling the heat very similar to the one
1805
6064200
3766
101:07
we had earlier.
1806
6067966
1334
101:09
The heat is on.
1807
6069300
1400
101:10
So in this case, we are feeling the pressure of something.
1808
6070700
4966
101:15
You can feel the heat.
1809
6075900
2566
101:18
So not just from the temperature
1810
6078466
2900
101:21
that you sense through your skin.
1811
6081366
3000
101:24
Also, we are using this figuratively
1812
6084600
2500
101:27
to say you are aware of pressure that you are under.
1813
6087100
4566
101:32
So that's similar to the other phrase we had before, isn't it?
1814
6092066
2534
101:36
Which phrase is that I can't remember.
1815
6096100
2933
101:39
It's something like,
1816
6099033
1733
101:40
yeah, there was a similar phrase to that we had before,
1817
6100766
3000
101:44
where you are feeling that the pressure
1818
6104233
3067
101:47
of something we just talked about,
1819
6107633
1567
101:49
I can't remember which one it was. Now.
1820
6109200
3000
101:53
but yes, I mean,
1821
6113866
2367
101:56
if you're feeling the heat, it means you're
1822
6116233
1633
101:57
feeling the pressure.
1823
6117866
934
101:58
Maybe at work,
1824
6118800
2100
102:00
maybe you've got a lot of work that has to be done by a deadline.
1825
6120900
3600
102:05
Who has feeling the heat at work at the moment, you might say
1826
6125266
2800
102:08
to your partner or your mother or a friend.
1827
6128066
3000
102:11
You look a bit stressed. What's the matter?
1828
6131566
1734
102:13
Oh, I'm feeling the heat at work at the moment.
1829
6133300
3200
102:17
It means you're under a lot of pressure to get work done
1830
6137466
3000
102:20
by a certain time.
1831
6140633
1567
102:22
You are really feeling the heat? Yes.
1832
6142200
3000
102:25
Here we go.
1833
6145700
566
102:26
Talking of hot to trot, Francesca's used that word.
1834
6146266
3434
102:29
You are hot to trot to visit the Colosseum in Rome.
1835
6149700
3000
102:32
Yes, I meant the Colosseum.
1836
6152733
1200
102:33
Obviously not the Parthenon.
1837
6153933
2567
102:36
I'm hot to trot to begin my holiday, says Inaki. Yes.
1838
6156500
3700
102:40
Have very good usages of that phrase.
1839
6160900
3000
102:43
I'm just wondering now whether
1840
6163900
1100
102:45
whether Steve is really going to Italy,
1841
6165000
2466
102:47
or maybe you are going to Greece instead.
1842
6167466
2800
102:50
Well, it depends.
1843
6170266
734
102:51
You say that Italian man might want to take me to to Greece.
1844
6171000
3833
102:54
Okay.
1845
6174833
600
102:56
Very interesting things are hotting up.
1846
6176633
2767
102:59
The drama and excitement is growing.
1847
6179400
4733
103:04
Can you feel it, Mr. Steve?
1848
6184200
2966
103:07
Yes, things are hotting up.
1849
6187166
1700
103:08
It just means there's a bit more excitement.
1850
6188866
2400
103:11
You usually use that in a positive way,
1851
6191266
2700
103:13
because maybe
1852
6193966
3000
103:17
things are a bit boring and you want them to be more exciting.
1853
6197200
3966
103:21
And you might say, oh, at last, things are hotting up.
1854
6201166
2367
103:23
and it could be.
1855
6203533
2300
103:25
Doesn't mean it could be a relationship.
1856
6205833
3000
103:29
Is your relationship hotting up?
1857
6209433
1767
103:31
Is it getting more serious? More passionate?
1858
6211200
2100
103:33
Maybe again.
1859
6213300
1800
103:35
I'm envisaging myself in Italy in.
1860
6215100
4800
103:40
Now, let's let's let's forget that
1861
6220066
1934
103:42
I think we've all got the message now.
1862
6222000
1700
103:43
We've about you and that strange
1863
6223700
4000
103:48
man, that stranger sitting opposite you.
1864
6228166
3000
103:51
When you go to Italy, things are hotting up and hotting up at work.
1865
6231333
4167
103:55
And his guide dog.
1866
6235500
1800
103:57
You can use that phrase a lot.
1867
6237300
1500
103:59
Drama and excitement is growing.
1868
6239966
2167
104:02
you might that might be a work project
1869
6242133
3067
104:05
that is starting to reach its climax.
1870
6245633
3133
104:09
You might?
1871
6249300
333
104:09
Oh, yeah. Things are hotting up at work at the moment.
1872
6249633
2367
104:12
There's lots of things going on.
1873
6252000
1466
104:13
We've got this project going on that project,
1874
6253466
2000
104:15
along with lots of projects, obviously at work always,
1875
6255466
3000
104:18
Francesca will know about that.
1876
6258633
1800
104:20
Things are hotting up.
1877
6260433
1633
104:22
there's been a period where nothing much
1878
6262066
2867
104:24
is happening and suddenly lots of things are happening.
1879
6264933
3000
104:28
Oh, things are hotting up.
1880
6268200
2333
104:30
Yeah.
1881
6270533
1867
104:32
Things are getting more and more exciting so could be a party.
1882
6272400
3900
104:36
Oh Steve.
1883
6276300
1266
104:37
Party could be going to a party.
1884
6277566
1667
104:39
Things are hotting up.
1885
6279233
1367
104:40
Yes. The moved on though selling like hotcakes.
1886
6280600
3300
104:43
Mr. Steve, something is selling like hotcakes.
1887
6283900
3033
104:47
Maybe Mr..
1888
6287333
867
104:48
Mr. Duncan's T-shirts are selling like hotcakes.
1889
6288200
5033
104:53
Something is in high demand.
1890
6293400
2933
104:56
It is selling fast.
1891
6296333
3000
104:59
Get them before they have all gone.
1892
6299466
3234
105:02
Something is selling like hotcakes.
1893
6302700
4066
105:07
Something is in high demand.
1894
6307033
2933
105:09
You might say that.
1895
6309966
1767
105:11
Maybe take tickets for a concert.
1896
6311733
3267
105:15
Maybe. Maybe Taylor Swift
1897
6315133
2100
105:18
is having a concert
1898
6318800
1433
105:20
in your town, and everyone is trying
1899
6320233
3600
105:23
to get tickets to go and see her sing her amazing songs.
1900
6323866
4167
105:28
none of which I can name at the moment.
1901
6328800
3000
105:31
They are selling like hotcakes.
1902
6331800
2766
105:34
The tickets
1903
6334566
1767
105:36
to the Taylor Swift concert are selling like hotcakes
1904
6336333
4100
105:40
because hotcakes are very desirable.
1905
6340666
3000
105:43
Everybody wants them, and, they always sell out very quickly.
1906
6343666
4167
105:48
So yeah, it's in reference to something that sells
1907
6348133
3367
105:51
very quickly.
1908
6351500
3000
105:54
but there is, something
1909
6354866
1900
105:56
called the pantheon.
1910
6356766
3000
106:00
In Rome,
1911
6360900
900
106:01
which sounds very similar to Parthenon,
1912
6361800
3000
106:05
but there is something called the pantheon, which is obviously
1913
6365200
3366
106:08
what I meant to say.
1914
6368566
3000
106:11
Joking.
1915
6371633
933
106:12
and is the best preserved
1916
6372566
2967
106:15
monument in ancient Rome, says Maurizio.
1917
6375533
3000
106:18
So we will have to go there.
1918
6378866
1867
106:20
I think maybe you'll take us.
1919
6380733
1400
106:23
but yes.
1920
6383566
1634
106:25
There we go.
1921
6385200
1266
106:26
Take me up the Colosseum in, Alessandra says.
1922
6386466
3967
106:30
In Italy we say.
1923
6390433
1100
106:31
We say selling like bread.
1924
6391533
3000
106:35
yes, because bread smells lovely.
1925
6395433
2333
106:37
Everybody, when you, smell, bread baking.
1926
6397766
5234
106:43
Oh, there's nothing quite like it.
1927
6403700
2600
106:46
And it's delicious and it will sell out very quickly.
1928
6406300
3200
106:49
Is just referring to something that is selling very quickly. Yes.
1929
6409500
4200
106:53
Something is in high demand or selling fast.
1930
6413700
3233
106:57
Here's a good one.
1931
6417500
800
106:58
Strike while the iron is hot or the iron's hot.
1932
6418300
6633
107:05
Strike while the iron is hot.
1933
6425333
3000
107:08
Do something at the best moment.
1934
6428400
2100
107:10
Choose your moment to do something carefully.
1935
6430500
3000
107:13
Maybe where the best opportunity
1936
6433666
3000
107:17
arises.
1937
6437200
1700
107:18
That is, when you do that thing,
1938
6438900
2733
107:21
you strike while the iron is hot.
1939
6441633
3067
107:24
So I like that one. Yes.
1940
6444866
1634
107:26
So you could you could, you could maybe you've been, going out.
1941
6446500
6066
107:32
We've been in a relationship with someone for a while.
1942
6452600
2433
107:35
Is everything.
1943
6455033
967
107:36
Everything today seems to be connected
1944
6456000
1666
107:37
to relationships or love or picking up someone.
1945
6457666
3134
107:40
Yes, again. I could be in Rome.
1946
6460800
2933
107:43
I chat into a lovely guy,
1947
6463733
3000
107:46
and, everything's going very well.
1948
6466766
3000
107:49
and I wait for the perfect moment to to ask him
1949
6469800
3433
107:53
for his telephone number, because if I the the idea behind
1950
6473233
3767
107:57
that phrase is that if you did something too early
1951
6477000
3333
108:01
or too late, there is there is always a,
1952
6481133
2733
108:03
you know, a perfect time to do something
1953
6483866
3000
108:07
when you've got maximum advantage
1954
6487000
2266
108:09
or leverage to do that thing.
1955
6489266
3000
108:12
And, so striking when the iron is hot,
1956
6492900
3300
108:16
it means that you do that in that perfect time.
1957
6496200
2066
108:18
So maybe you've been
1958
6498266
1067
108:20
in a relationship for a while
1959
6500333
2200
108:22
and, it's all been going well.
1960
6502533
3000
108:25
you've been getting on very well.
1961
6505766
2167
108:27
You you've met the, in-laws?
1962
6507933
3933
108:32
yeah.
1963
6512500
666
108:33
The witches, the the parents of the person.
1964
6513166
2234
108:35
You're going out with.
1965
6515400
933
108:36
They've met yours.
1966
6516333
1167
108:37
There were no arguments.
1967
6517500
1833
108:39
there are certain milestones in the relationship, aren't they,
1968
6519333
3600
108:42
that you need to overcome before you pop the question of
1969
6522933
3767
108:47
will you marry me?
1970
6527066
1667
108:48
Well, if you did it
1971
6528733
767
108:49
too early in the relationship, they wouldn't know you well enough.
1972
6529500
3433
108:53
But if you do it too late, they might be bored with you.
1973
6533700
3500
108:57
So you've got to do it when everything is in a moment.
1974
6537533
3300
109:00
When it's going well.
1975
6540833
1367
109:02
Yeah. Getting on well, everything's going well.
1976
6542200
2866
109:05
And so somebody might say, oh, you want to marry,
1977
6545066
4400
109:09
Julie, don't you?
1978
6549766
1934
109:11
Well, everything's been going very well.
1979
6551700
1666
109:13
If I were you, I'd strike while the iron is hot and Oscar now.
1980
6553366
4234
109:18
And, But it's not just relationships.
1981
6558200
3100
109:21
It could be anything. Anything. It could be.
1982
6561300
2566
109:25
I can't think of another example.
1983
6565500
2100
109:27
It could be an opportunity
1984
6567600
1500
109:29
that that comes up for a job, a job, a vacancy.
1985
6569100
3566
109:33
and you get in there. Yeah. Because.
1986
6573300
2100
109:35
Because the job vacancy has only just been announced.
1987
6575400
3566
109:39
So strike while the iron is hot.
1988
6579400
2833
109:42
Take that opportunity when it presents itself to you.
1989
6582233
3700
109:45
Exactly. It could be.
1990
6585933
1200
109:47
You might be after a promotion, or you might be after a wage rise.
1991
6587133
5133
109:52
Yeah.
1992
6592533
367
109:52
Now the time to ask would be
1993
6592900
1800
109:54
if you wanted a wage rise from your boss, the time to ask
1994
6594700
3366
109:58
would be after you've just done something really,
1995
6598066
3000
110:02
some, you know, completed a really good project or something
1996
6602100
3333
110:05
that's put you in a good light at work,
1997
6605666
2234
110:07
that would be strike while the iron is hot, do it.
1998
6607900
3033
110:10
Then.
1999
6610933
733
110:11
Don't wait a week or two weeks when he's forgotten.
2000
6611666
3667
110:15
Or she how well you did do it now and then.
2001
6615466
3600
110:19
They might be more, liable to give you what you want. Yes.
2002
6619066
4267
110:26
To be piping hot.
2003
6626600
2866
110:29
Something that is piping hot is
2004
6629466
4434
110:35
at a high temperature.
2005
6635166
1534
110:36
Something that is very hot.
2006
6636700
1966
110:38
Something that is piping hot.
2007
6638666
1967
110:40
Maybe you you've just got some bread out the oven.
2008
6640633
4700
110:45
It's been baking for an hour, and now it's lovely
2009
6645333
4333
110:50
and brown and baked to perfection.
2010
6650066
3367
110:54
And it is also piping hot.
2011
6654000
2800
110:56
It is very hot to be at a high temperature.
2012
6656800
3833
111:01
So anything, anything that is very hot,
2013
6661000
2733
111:03
maybe, maybe it is too hot to hold or touch,
2014
6663733
3867
111:08
or maybe something that might be just too hot to drink.
2015
6668100
4800
111:12
You have to wait for a moment.
2016
6672933
2000
111:14
It is piping hot
2017
6674933
2733
111:17
to be it.
2018
6677666
967
111:18
The steam coming off it.
2019
6678633
1700
111:20
Yeah, piping hot soup means that it's it's you.
2020
6680333
5233
111:25
You will see steam coming off it, and it would probably burn
2021
6685800
3700
111:29
your mouth.
2022
6689500
766
111:31
you would need to let it cool down.
2023
6691966
1667
111:33
If something's piping hot, it's probably
2024
6693633
3000
111:36
on the verge of being too hot to eat.
2025
6696633
3000
111:40
Like soup.
2026
6700200
2866
111:43
Like my.
2027
6703066
667
111:43
My computer today in the studio is piping hot inside
2028
6703733
5167
111:48
because it's so hot here in the studio,
2029
6708900
3000
111:51
and my computer is struggling to stay cool.
2030
6711933
3233
111:55
It is piping hot, and this is the last one we have for today.
2031
6715166
5234
112:00
If you can't stand the heat,
2032
6720800
3000
112:04
stay out of the kitchen.
2033
6724266
3000
112:07
If you can't take the pressure,
2034
6727366
2634
112:10
then you should not be there.
2035
6730000
2733
112:12
Something that you can't handle
2036
6732733
2800
112:15
or something you can't cope with is too difficult for you.
2037
6735533
4233
112:19
So you should really go.
2038
6739766
2100
112:21
You should go because you can't handle the pressure.
2039
6741866
4067
112:26
You can't stand the heat.
2040
6746233
3000
112:29
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
2041
6749766
3634
112:33
Yes. So you,
2042
6753900
933
112:34
you, you might be getting yourself into situations that you.
2043
6754833
3600
112:38
I can't handle.
2044
6758933
2167
112:41
And, and maybe a competition for something
2045
6761100
4200
112:45
to do something and, yes, it's, it's referring to the fact that,
2046
6765633
5267
112:52
you know, if.
2047
6772366
1000
112:53
Yeah, I'm just trying to think of a good example here
2048
6773366
2200
112:55
where people would somebody would say that to you.
2049
6775566
2867
112:58
He can't stand the heat.
2050
6778433
967
112:59
Get out of the kitchen.
2051
6779400
1466
113:00
Well, any situation, maybe in a job.
2052
6780866
2967
113:03
So maybe the job is high pressure.
2053
6783833
2433
113:06
And yes, you have to you have to deliver
2054
6786266
3134
113:09
a lot of, high perform every day.
2055
6789900
3200
113:13
And at the end of the week, the boss will
2056
6793100
1766
113:14
put you under pressure and he will say, look,
2057
6794866
3000
113:17
look, this this job is very demanding.
2058
6797933
3667
113:21
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
2059
6801600
3533
113:25
Maybe it's a high pressure sales job.
2060
6805333
2733
113:28
Something like that.
2061
6808066
1834
113:29
a job that has a lot of pressure.
2062
6809900
4633
113:35
And, it's basically saying, well, if you can't cope
2063
6815366
4200
113:39
with that pressure, then you need to look for another job.
2064
6819833
3133
113:43
So in that literal sense, you might say, if you are in the kitchen
2065
6823666
3567
113:47
and quite often kitchens can be very hot places
2066
6827700
3600
113:51
and maybe it's too hot in there. So
2067
6831800
2400
113:54
you have to get out of the kitchen because it's too hot.
2068
6834200
3233
113:57
So if you can't stand the pressure, then maybe you should think
2069
6837966
3467
114:01
about doing something else.
2070
6841433
3400
114:05
By the way, in, in Argentina, and in Spain,
2071
6845300
4566
114:10
they, they use the phrase sell like hot bread.
2072
6850666
5200
114:16
we say sound like hotcakes, sell like hot bread.
2073
6856433
3000
114:19
There have been similar expressions there.
2074
6859700
3000
114:22
So maybe that's used more in sort of sort of Italy,
2075
6862733
3867
114:26
Spanish sort of countries.
2076
6866600
3000
114:29
I can't wait to taste Italian bread.
2077
6869700
2566
114:32
by the way,
2078
6872266
2867
114:35
I often make some Italian bread in our bread maker.
2079
6875133
3000
114:38
You have you put olive oil into it.
2080
6878400
2600
114:41
and there's no sugar added.
2081
6881000
3100
114:44
So it's nice and soft.
2082
6884100
1966
114:47
I like it when you go to an Italian restaurant
2083
6887166
2267
114:49
and they give you lots of thick, crusty bread.
2084
6889433
2100
114:51
And also they give you normally a bowl of olive oil,
2085
6891533
3433
114:55
some that you can dip your bread into as well.
2086
6895733
3600
114:59
And it, it's delicious, very salty,
2087
6899333
3967
115:03
but also very nice as well to eat.
2088
6903366
3000
115:06
We have almost come to the end of today's live stream.
2089
6906566
4234
115:11
Can I just mention again very quickly,
2090
6911100
2733
115:13
we are going to be meeting up in Rome
2091
6913833
3333
115:18
and around about four weeks from now
2092
6918133
3000
115:21
we will be in Rome, Italy,
2093
6921133
3000
115:25
dancing around the streets of Rome.
2094
6925000
3000
115:28

2095
6928333

115:32
and I will put the email address on the screen right now.
2096
6932366
3834
115:36
So there it is.
2097
6936466
1634
115:38
Just say, Mr.
2098
6938100
1133
115:39
Duncan, I would like to meet you in Rome.
2099
6939233
2367
115:41
Here is my name.
2100
6941600
1433
115:43
Your real name?
2101
6943033
1067
115:44
Of course not.
2102
6944100
1166
115:45
Just the name you use on YouTube.
2103
6945266
2934
115:48
And make sure I can contact you again with email
2104
6948200
4000

3834
115:56
and I will send details to you directly.
2106
6956700
4700
116:01
And then hopefully we will all have a very,
2107
6961833
3467
116:05
very nice time when we get together in Rome.
2108
6965666
4500
116:10
I can't wait just
2109
6970166
1400
116:11
Alessandra says there are lots of types of bread in Italy.
2110
6971566
2734
116:14
Well, I look forward to tasting all of them.
2111
6974300
3133
116:17
Can't wait.
2112
6977866
1000
116:18

Sometimes when we're on this live channel, I feel the heat a bit.
2121
6996666

116:40
Yeah, because I feel as though I've got to say something

7000366
3200
116:43
and contribute something around the meaning of a particular word.
2123
7003566
3600
116:47
And maybe I can't think of it straight away.
2124
7007166
2700
116:49
So sometimes I feel the heat, the pressure
