Well, hello, and welcome to

1526
00:01
this English lesson about collectibles.
1
1967
2759
00:04
Human beings are kind of strange.
2
4727
2163
00:07
Some of us like to collect things, we
3
7510
2728
00:10
see things, and we like to keep it.
4
10239
2327
00:12
Maybe we buy it, maybe we find it somewhere.
5
12567
2887
00:15
Maybe we put it on a shelf, and
6
15455
1527
00:16
then we find other things that are similar.
7
16983
3063
00:20
People collect stamps.
8
20047
1439
00:21
They collect coins, they collect rocks.
9
21487
2367
00:23
There are all kinds of things that human
10
23855
2391
00:26
beings collect for some reason, and in this
11
26247
2745
00:28
English lesson, I will talk about them.
12
28993
1935
00:30
So, once again, welcome to
13
30929
1919
00:32
this English lesson about collectibles.
14
32849
2223
00:35
All those little things and sometimes big things
15
35073
3151
00:38
that people like to buy and collect and
16
38225
3207
00:41
keep, I guess just to look at sometimes.
17
41433
2551
00:43
So anyways, once again, welcome to
18
43985
1951
00:45
this English lesson about collectibles.
19
45937
3055
00:48
Trading cards or sports cards.
20
48993
2503
00:51
When I was a kid, I collected hockey cards.
21
51497
3047
00:54
A sports card or a hockey card or a baseball card
22
54545
3317
00:57
or a football card is a card that has a picture
23
57863
3559
01:01
of the player on one side and on the back, it
24
61423
3215
01:04
usually has more information and stats about the player.
25
64639
4079
01:08
So I guess because I'm canadian, as
26
68719
2847
01:11
a kid, I collected hockey cards.
27
71567
2303
01:13
I don't have any of my hockey cards anymore.
28
73871
2479
01:16
I wish I did because I think some
29
76351
1855
01:18
of them might actually be somewhat valuable.
30
78207
3023
01:21
But as a kid, I collected hockey cards.
31
81231
2799
01:24
You might have collected soccer cards, or
32
84031
3117
01:27
you might call them football cards.
33
87149
1951
01:29
Or you might have collected, I don't know.
34
89101
2383
01:31
Do they make them for tennis?
35
91485
1127
01:32
I'm not sure, but very fun.
36
92613
2471
01:35
And then you'll notice they're
37
95085
1703
01:36
called trading cards, sports cards.
38
96789
2439
01:39
And then you also use the name of the sport.
39
99229
2407
01:41
So you could say, oh, I collect baseball cards.
40
101637
2215
01:43
I collect trading cards.
41
103853
1319
01:45
I collect hockey cards.
42
105173
2191
01:47
I really enjoyed my hockey card collection as a kid.
43
107365
3119
01:50
I wish I still had it.
44
110485
1683
01:52
I think maybe my mom threw it
45
112169
2327
01:54
out, but I don't have it anymore.
46
114497
1751
01:56
That's kind of sad. Coins.
47
116249
3111
01:59
So this is a popular one.
48
119361
1967
02:01
I have never collected coins.
49
121329
2119
02:03
I do know people who collect coins where whenever they travel,
50
123449
4991
02:08
they get money to use in that other country, and then
51
128441
3175
02:11
they keep some of the coins or even some of the
52
131617
2583
02:14
bills, like the paper money when they come home.
53
134201
3039
02:17
And then they might keep it in a nice display
54
137241
3059
02:20
thing like this, probably a binder with special plastic pages
55
140920
4508
02:25
in it that you can store your coins in.
56
145429
2087
02:27
But a fun thing to do.
57
147517
1367
02:28
I have a few coins from South Africa.
58
148885
2759
02:31
I have lots of american coins from the
59
151645
2511
02:34
United States, and I also have a few
60
154157
2455
02:36
coins from other countries, like Holland.
61
156613
3031
02:39
And I think my in laws gave me coins.
62
159645
3111
02:42
Where were those from? I can't remember.
63
162757
1415
02:44
I think from Haiti, I might have
64
164173
2183
02:46
a few coins so very cool.
65
166357
2071
02:48
Coin collection. Collecting.
66
168429
2387
02:50
Sorry, that wasn't a word that I just said.
67
170817
1775
02:52
Collection isn't a word.
68
172593
2087
02:54
You collect and you have a collection.
69
174681
2299
02:57
Stamps.
70
177720
1360
02:59
As a kid, I also had a stamp collection.
71
179081
3391
03:02
The reason I had a stamp collection
72
182473
1767
03:04
is because my mom had a stamp
73
184241
2143
03:06
collection and encouraged us to collect stamps.
74
186385
3775
03:10
Stamps are the little thing that you, you can lick and
75
190161
3999
03:14
put on an envelope, or you might just make it wetland
76
194161
2637
03:16
some other way and put it on an envelope.
77
196799
1813
03:18
In Canada, you don't have to lick the stamps anymore.
78
198613
3127
03:21
They stick by themselves.
79
201741
1831
03:23
You peel them off and put them on
80
203573
1943
03:25
an envelope and they have a value.
81
205517
2623
03:28
And that stamp means you paid
82
208141
2959
03:31
to send the letter somewhere.
83
211101
1807
03:32
So again, a stamp is a little sticker.
84
212909
2663
03:35
It usually has a beautiful picture on it of something
85
215573
3543
03:39
from your country or a famous person from your country.
86
219117
2919
03:42
And every country has its own stamps.
87
222037
3047
03:45
So I did have a stamp collection, by the
88
225085
3191
03:48
way, in this lesson, I will not be talking
89
228277
3263
03:51
about, like, the strange words we use for the
90
231541
3967
03:55
people who collect these things or what the actual
91
235509
2679
03:58
name is, because we don't use those in English.
92
238189
2535
04:00
There's probably a very interesting name.
93
240725
2615
04:03
You can put them in the chat as we do the lesson.
94
243341
3259
04:07
Bottle caps.
95
247220
928
04:08
So I had a friend as who
96
248149
1863
04:10
as a kid, collected bottle caps.
97
250013
2111
04:12
When you open a bottle of soda, or if you drink
98
252125
3127
04:15
alcoholic beverages, a bottle of beer, you get a bottle cap.
99
255253
4895
04:20
They're not as common anymore in this form.
100
260149
3631
04:23
This was the form of bottle cap that existed when
101
263781
2695
04:26
I was a kid, and they were fun to collect.
102
266477
2703
04:29
We actually collected them as kids, but
103
269181
2623
04:31
then we used them as play money.
104
271805
2519
04:34
When we played with each other, we used bottle
105
274325
1983
04:36
caps to pretend we were buying and selling things
106
276309
4173
04:40
because they kind of look like coins.
107
280483
2231
04:42
But again, a bottle cap, it's basically
108
282715
3007
04:45
the cap of the bottle, right?
109
285723
1655
04:47
So you have a baseball cap, but a bottle cap as well.
110
287379
3451
04:51
And when you open the bottle, it goes.
111
291530
2060
04:54
There's your first sound effect for the day.
112
294130
2740
04:57
Cans and bottles.
113
297650
1336
04:58
So not only do people collect bottle
114
298987
1831
05:00
caps, they might actually collect the cans
115
300819
2423
05:03
or bottles that the drink came in.
116
303243
2927
05:06
You can see here, this is a really old can
117
306171
3687
05:09
collection soda can, or I would call pop can collection.
118
309859
4231
05:14
I can tell it's old because the
119
314091
1615
05:15
cans don't look that way anymore.
120
315707
2239
05:17
They're a little, they look a little
121
317947
2063
05:20
different on the top and bottom.
122
320011
2167
05:22
But people might collect cans,
123
322179
2591
05:24
they might collect bottles, autographs.
124
324771
4855
05:29
So I forgot to add something.
125
329627
2853
05:33
People collect autographs now, but they
126
333220
2400
05:35
also collect selfies with famous people.
127
335621
3415
05:39
So an autograph is when a
128
339037
1679
05:40
famous person signs their name.
129
340717
3175
05:43
That's the phrase we use to sign your name,
130
343893
2295
05:46
they sign their name on a piece of paper,
131
346189
2599
05:48
maybe on like, here you have him.
132
348789
2295
05:51
Uh, is that.
133
351085
1607
05:52
That's Beckham signing a soccer ball or football.
134
352693
3427
05:56
They sign something with their autograph or their
135
356650
2992
05:59
name, and then that's something people will collect.
136
359643
3039
06:02
But in this day and age, people also collect selfies.
137
362683
4199
06:06
They ask the person if they can take a selfie with them,
138
366883
3935
06:10
and then maybe at home, they get it developed and put it
139
370819
3975
06:14
on the wall or printed out and put it on the wall.
140
374795
2207
06:17
But an autograph is the name of a famous
141
377003
2511
06:19
person that you get from a famous person.
142
379515
2887
06:22
I do not have anyone's autograph at all.
143
382403
4227
06:28
Rocks.
144
388540
576
06:29
So this is the other thing that I did have as a child.
145
389117
3167
06:32
I had a rock collection.
146
392285
2295
06:34
In the area where I live.
147
394581
1927
06:36
It's easy to find really unique rocks.
148
396509
3199
06:39
Some of my rocks had sparkling parts to them.
149
399709
3351
06:43
Some of my rocks were just white, or
150
403061
2143
06:45
I had a few rocks that were black.
151
405205
1615
06:46
I think I had a piece of coal as well.
152
406821
2735
06:49
But a rock collection is something fun.
153
409557
2087
06:51
If you regularly go hiking or go to
154
411645
3289
06:54
the beach or go somewhere where you see
155
414935
2759
06:57
little rocks, you might pick one up.
156
417695
1983
06:59
If it looks interesting, maybe the way it catches the
157
419679
3391
07:03
sun or reflects sunlight a little bit, maybe it's just
158
423071
3775
07:06
kind of a neat shape and you like it.
159
426847
2119
07:08
So you might pick up that rock
160
428967
2031
07:10
and add it to your rock collection.
161
430999
3167
07:14
I really liked my rock collection as a kid.
162
434167
2055
07:16
I also do not know where my rock collection is.
163
436223
2599
07:18
I should really talk to my mom about what happened
164
438823
3185
07:22
to my hockey card collection and my rock collection.
165
442009
3231
07:25
I think both have probably disappeared
166
445241
3127
07:28
at this point in time.
167
448369
1371
07:30
Coasters.
168
450960
1040
07:32
So this is an interesting one.
169
452001
2023
07:34
When you go to a drinking establishment, like a bar
170
454025
3767
07:37
or a pub, and you order a cold drink, or
171
457793
3335
07:41
even if you're in a restaurant ordering soda or pop,
172
461129
3239
07:44
they will put what's called a coaster under the glass
173
464369
4867
07:49
because the whatever you're drinking is cold, and there will
174
469237
4551
07:53
be some water running down the outside.
175
473789
2007
07:55
You know how when it's really warm outside, there
176
475797
4199
07:59
will be condensation on the outside of a glass
177
479997
3215
08:03
if it has a cold drink in it.
178
483213
1647
08:04
So they put a coaster underneath to protect the
179
484861
3359
08:08
table or bar if you're at a bar.
180
488221
3423
08:11
And these coasters usually have images on
181
491645
2911
08:14
them or the names of companies that
182
494557
2063
08:16
sell different kinds of beverages.
183
496621
2259
08:18
And some people really enjoy collecting coasters.
184
498881
3479
08:22
I do not know anyone with a coaster
185
502361
2055
08:24
collection, but when I searched for coaster collections
186
504417
3263
08:27
on Google, there were a lot of pictures
187
507681
2319
08:30
of people showing their collection of coasters.
188
510001
3431
08:33
So again, a coaster is just a flat.
189
513433
2510
08:35
I think it's cardboard.
190
515944
1656
08:37
It's a flat cardboard thing that you put under
191
517601
3078
08:40
a cold glass of a beverage so that when
192
520680
3776
08:44
the condensation comes down, it doesn't make the table
193
524457
3691
08:48
or whatever surface you're setting it on.
194
528149
2639
08:50
Wet cars.
195
530789
2071
08:52
So this is not something I collect.
196
532861
2807
08:55
This is something that you collect
197
535669
2263
08:57
if you are really, really wealthy.
198
537933
2783
09:00
So I'm going to assume none of us here
199
540717
2803
09:04
have car collections when you are really rich, maybe
200
544380
3968
09:08
you're a million multi millionaire or billionaire.
201
548349
2847
09:11
And if you like cars, you might go and buy cars,
202
551197
3501
09:14
you might go to a car auction, you might collect really
203
554699
3319
09:18
old cars, or you might collect new sports cars.
204
558019
2935
09:20
I don't know, because I am not a car collector.
205
560955
3047
09:24
I am a collector of old minivans.
206
564003
3255
09:27
And I have two.
207
567259
1031
09:28
Two in my collection right now.
208
568291
2447
09:30
But yes, if you had more money than you know
209
570739
3767
09:34
what to do with, you might collect something like cars.
210
574507
3703
09:38
People like me collect stamps and small
211
578211
3145
09:41
figurines that they got from their mom.
212
581357
2239
09:43
But there might, of course, be people in
213
583597
3287
09:46
the chat who have enough money and might
214
586885
1975
09:48
have a car collection, but certainly not me.
215
588861
3139
09:52
You need a place to put them to figurines.
216
592940
2808
09:55
So figurines are basically anything like these
217
595749
3551
09:59
little items I was showing you. Did I show you?
218
599301
2167
10:01
Here's the hippo.
219
601469
1131
10:03
It's a nice little hippo.
220
603700
1496
10:05
Hippopotamus. And then what?
221
605197
2063
10:07
Oh, there's also a turtle.
222
607261
1579
10:12
So figurines are things like that.
223
612470
2552
10:15
They can be large or small, but basically
224
615023
2863
10:17
it's like a little sculpture or a little
225
617887
3527
10:21
figure of an animal or a person.
226
621415
2555
10:24
They're really cool.
227
624910
1300
10:26
These are the same as the ones I'm showing you.
228
626910
2688
10:29
As I mentioned, they came in the box
229
629599
2159
10:31
of tea when I was a kid.
230
631759
1951
10:33
And then as children, we would fight over who got them,
231
633711
3319
10:37
because every time my parents opened a new box of red
232
637031
3495
10:40
rose, there would be a new figurine in it.
233
640527
3019
10:43
I think this is a corgi.
234
643547
1711
10:45
And then as kids, we would fight over who got
235
645259
3183
10:48
the figurine, but a figurine, a small kind of lifelike
236
648443
4135
10:52
representation of something like an animal or person.
237
652579
3411
10:56
Fridge magnets.
238
656770
1064
10:57
This is a weird one.
239
657835
1275
11:00
When you have a fridge, sometimes the
240
660090
2376
11:02
front of the fridge is metal.
241
662467
1727
11:04
The front of our fridge, you can't put magnets
242
664195
2775
11:06
on, so our fridge magnets are on the side.
243
666971
2607
11:09
But you might get a fridge magnet when you go on
244
669579
2515
11:12
a trip, when you go to a souvenir shop, you might
245
672095
2879
11:14
buy a fridge magnet from the place that you are visiting.
246
674975
4071
11:19
Maybe a business sends you a fridge magnet in the
247
679047
2367
11:21
mail, and it has their phone number on it.
248
681415
2335
11:23
You would then put it on your fridge,
249
683751
1943
11:25
and if you are like this lady, you
250
685695
2599
11:28
might have a whole collection of fridge magnets.
251
688295
2511
11:30
So again, a magnet sticks to metal.
252
690807
3591
11:34
So if the front of your fridge is metal, a fridge
253
694399
2951
11:37
magnet has a magnet on the back, and then on the
254
697351
2867
11:40
front, it will have a picture or a picture of a
255
700219
2927
11:43
place with its name or a business information from a business,
256
703147
4135
11:47
and the magnet allows it to stick to the fridge.
257
707283
3719
11:51
Kind of fun.
258
711003
1487
11:52
Where am I here?
259
712491
1343
11:53
Just checking hats.
260
713835
1795
11:56
I have a small hat collection.
261
716250
1976
11:58
I have three hats.
262
718227
1283
12:00
I have a hat from the farm.
263
720290
2048
12:02
Actually, I should have brought my hat collection.
264
722339
1735
12:04
I have a hat from the Toronto Blue Jayshe,
265
724075
3251
12:07
and then I have a hat from when I
266
727327
2077
12:09
was a kid that my dad used to wear.
267
729405
2095
12:11
So very cool.
268
731501
1339
12:13
This would be a little bit more of a hat collection.
269
733620
3728
12:17
So you can see this person
270
737349
1503
12:18
really likes the Toronto Blue Jays.
271
738853
2047
12:20
That's a baseball team that plays
272
740901
1455
12:22
in Toronto, a professional team.
273
742357
2071
12:24
And this person has bought a number
274
744429
2623
12:27
of different variations of that hat.
275
747053
2647
12:29
This is a great example of what collecting means.
276
749701
3183
12:32
When you have a hat, it's not a
277
752885
2091
12:34
collection, but there are different styles and colors.
278
754977
4095
12:39
And as you buy all of those, as you
279
759073
2687
12:41
collect them, you start to put together a collection.
280
761761
2559
12:44
So this person has a really nice hat collection.
281
764321
3423
12:47
You might have a collection of
282
767745
1335
12:49
hats from something completely different.
283
769081
2335
12:51
You might have hats from a football team,
284
771417
2207
12:53
you might have hats from a racing team.
285
773625
3935
12:57
There's a lot of different types
286
777561
1735
12:59
of hats that you can collect.
287
779297
2283
13:03
Now, I find this one a little
288
783120
1720
13:04
strange, but it is pretty common.
289
784841
2951
13:07
Maybe this is LikE an american thing, more
290
787793
2527
13:10
than canadian or other parts of the world,
291
790321
2479
13:12
but some people collect salt and pepper shakers.
292
792801
3999
13:16
So salt, of course, is white and makes food salty.
293
796801
3399
13:20
Pepper is either white or black or a mixture,
294
800201
2863
13:23
and makes food a little spicier or tastier.
295
803065
3279
13:26
Not ReallY spicier, more peppery, probably.
296
806345
3125
13:29
But some people collect salt and pepper shakers.
297
809471
2327
13:31
So you see on this SHelf here, there are
298
811799
2799
13:34
salt and pepper shakers that look like mushrooms.
299
814599
2823
13:37
There are salt and pepper shakers that
300
817423
1959
13:39
look like small animals and eggs.
301
819383
3455
13:42
And not sure what some of these
302
822839
2103
13:44
things are, some look like pig faces.
303
824943
2527
13:47
But this person must like
304
827471
2471
13:49
collecting salt and pepper shakers.
305
829943
2151
13:52
And so I hope no one in the chat is
306
832095
2439
13:54
a salt and pepper shaker collector, because I just washed,
307
834535
2635
13:57
making it sound like only strange people do this.
308
837171
2309
13:59
But some people really like salt and pepper
309
839481
2575
14:02
shakers and they like to collect them.
310
842057
2643
14:05
Seashells.
311
845480
1072
14:06
This is more common.
312
846553
959
14:07
This is similar to collecting rocks.
313
847513
2543
14:10
If you're someone who likes to go on vacation.
314
850057
2935
14:12
And you often go to the beach.
315
852993
2191
14:15
You go to the ocean or to a lake.
316
855185
2455
14:17
You might collect seashells.
317
857641
1919
14:19
You're more likely to find seashells in the
318
859561
2287
14:21
ocean, although here you can find things like
319
861849
3961
14:25
clam shells and those kinds of things. So.
320
865811
2215
14:28
But, yeah, let's say you're going to the
321
868027
2591
14:30
ocean and you're walking along the sandy beach.
322
870619
3663
14:34
You might be able to find small seashells.
323
874283
2367
14:36
So seashells are, of course, the shell of an animal
324
876651
3999
14:40
that lived in the sea and either no longer needs
325
880651
2559
14:43
the shell or is no longer with us.
326
883211
2975
14:46
And you might like how the shell looks.
327
886187
3087
14:49
Often a seashell has a really unique shape.
328
889275
3463
14:52
They're fun to look at.
329
892739
1703
14:54
Sometimes a seashell has parts that are shiny,
330
894443
3415
14:57
and they're just very cool and very interesting.
331
897859
2903
15:00
I keep knocking my figurines around here.
332
900763
2063
15:02
I should move those.
333
902827
943
15:03
So you might collect seashells by the seashore.
334
903771
4879
15:08
She sells seashells by the seashore.
335
908651
2959
15:11
That's a tongue twisters.
336
911611
2871
15:14
I almost said it wrong.
337
914483
1327
15:15
She sells seashells by the seashore. There you go.
338
915811
2775
15:18
Try that a few times if you're practicing
339
918587
2463
15:21
your s's and your sh sound spoons.
340
921051
4969
15:26
To me, this is similar to salt and pepper shakers.
341
926021
3783
15:29
Not quite sure why some people collect spoons.
342
929805
3319
15:33
I actually think my one grandma
343
933125
2471
15:35
did have a spoon collection.
344
935597
2183
15:37
So whenever she visited somewhere, she would
345
937781
3111
15:40
get a spoon from that location.
346
940893
1743
15:42
You could buy spoons.
347
942637
1567
15:44
You also could buy spoons for different events.
348
944205
3631
15:47
Like, I think she had spoons from different.
349
947837
3203
15:53
Yeah, like, different events.
350
953180
1840
15:55
Like, if the.
351
955021
1167
15:56
When Queen Elizabeth became queen, I think you
352
956189
2455
15:58
could buy a spoon to commemorate that event.
353
958645
3487
16:02
And my grandma, I think she
354
962133
1303
16:03
had spoons from Holland as well.
355
963437
2847
16:06
For some reason, I'm not a huge.
356
966285
1955
16:09
I don't have a wealth
357
969700
880
16:10
of knowledge about spoon collection.
358
970581
1799
16:12
Maybe some of you know better, but you could
359
972381
2439
16:14
collect antique spoons, which are just really old spoons.
360
974821
4639
16:19
Or you might collect spoons that
361
979461
2543
16:22
are made to commemorate an event.
362
982005
2511
16:24
When you commemorate an event, it means
363
984517
2159
16:26
you do something to help remember it.
364
986677
2071
16:28
So you might have a spoon collection that
365
988749
2591
16:31
commemorates lots of important events in the world.
366
991341
3539
16:35
Stickers.
367
995860
720
16:36
So this is something that kids collect.
368
996581
2799
16:39
When I was a kid, it was rare to
369
999381
3119
16:42
get a sticker from somewhere, but if I got
370
1002501
2711
16:45
stickers, I wouldn't have stick them to anything.
371
1005213
2925
16:48
I would keep them in a little box.
372
1008139
1959
16:50
So instead of sticking them everywhere,
373
1010099
2119
16:52
I kept them in a box.
374
1012219
1407
16:53
My kids have lots of stickers that they
375
1013627
2711
16:56
got as kids, and they put them everywhere.
376
1016339
1911
16:58
So again, a sticker is sticky, one side is sticky.
377
1018251
4375
17:02
So the same way a fridge magnet sticks to
378
1022627
2270
17:04
metal, a sticker has like, a sticky glue type
379
1024898
4032
17:08
surface, and you can put a sticker on anything.
380
1028931
2499
17:12
Often, I've noticed students right now collect
381
1032220
3936
17:16
stickers and put them on their laptops.
382
1036157
2959
17:19
So at school, students have laptops
383
1039117
2623
17:21
like computers, and they usually have
384
1041741
2070
17:23
a sticker collection on their laptop.
385
1043812
2855
17:26
Maybe something like this, maybe Pokemon or something else
386
1046668
4704
17:31
that they collect and like to look at. Ties.
387
1051373
5599
17:36
I do not have a tie collection.
388
1056973
1839
17:38
But if you are someone that wears a
389
1058813
2343
17:41
tie every day for work, it's possible that
390
1061157
3231
17:44
you actually have a tie collection.
391
1064389
2367
17:46
You might have serious ties and
392
1066757
2175
17:48
fun ties and humorous ties.
393
1068933
2191
17:51
You might have ties that
394
1071125
1255
17:52
are from different sports teams.
395
1072381
1695
17:54
But if you wear a necktie, if you wear a suit
396
1074077
2871
17:56
and tie every day, you might have decided, you know what?
397
1076949
3159
18:00
I'm going to collect ties.
398
1080109
2399
18:02
I'm going to have 150 ties that
399
1082509
3873
18:06
I wear in all different occasions.
400
1086383
2815
18:09
So I don't have a tie collection.
401
1089199
1911
18:11
I have three ties and I only wear two of them.
402
1091111
3871
18:14
I think something like that, I should get a new
403
1094983
2503
18:17
tie, I should get a bob the canadian tie. That'd be fun.
404
1097487
2643
18:21
T shirts.
405
1101470
1024
18:22
So t shirt collecting is often related to music.
406
1102495
5175
18:27
When you go to a concert, you can
407
1107671
2311
18:29
often buy a t shirt from the band.
408
1109983
3101
18:33
Well, not directly from them, from the people outside
409
1113085
3535
18:36
who sell the t shirts for the band.
410
1116621
2151
18:38
So if you like the band rush or Def
411
1118773
2759
18:41
Leppard, these are some pretty old bands here.
412
1121533
2647
18:44
You might have a t shirt collection because you've
413
1124181
3511
18:47
gone to a number of concerts over the years.
414
1127693
3151
18:50
So again, t shirts can be collected.
415
1130845
2543
18:53
You can also have a t
416
1133389
1359
18:54
shirt collection from something else.
417
1134749
1663
18:56
Maybe you love Star wars and you have
418
1136413
1915
18:58
a whole bunch of different t shirts that
419
1138329
2399
19:00
have different Star wars images on them.
420
1140729
2583
19:03
Or maybe you really like the Toronto blue Jays.
421
1143313
2535
19:05
You could just like having a hat collection,
422
1145849
2255
19:08
have a t shirt collection, um, from that
423
1148105
3943
19:12
sporting team or from a band.
424
1152049
1879
19:13
Again, a t shirt is what I'm wearing.
425
1153929
1815
19:15
I purposely wore a t shirt today.
426
1155745
2287
19:18
If you go like this, let me go into this.
427
1158033
4087
19:22
Uh, let's see if you do this.
428
1162121
2223
19:24
A t shirt is basically in the shape of a t.
429
1164345
3155
19:27
The middle part's pretty thick, though, but it's
430
1167501
2287
19:29
in the shape of a letter t.
431
1169789
1823
19:31
And it's one of the simplest things
432
1171613
2383
19:33
that people wear in the world.
433
1173997
1535
19:35
It's easy to put on.
434
1175533
1295
19:36
There's no buttons, and so it's.
435
1176829
2655
19:39
And it's also very comfortable. Right.
436
1179485
1847
19:41
When you come home from work, if you
437
1181333
2023
19:43
wear ties, you probably change and put on
438
1183357
2607
19:45
a t shirt, maybe one from your collection.
439
1185965
3595
19:51
Wristbands.
440
1191430
832
19:52
So again, these can be collected.
441
1192263
4815
19:57
They're not used as much anymore, I don't think,
442
1197079
2471
19:59
because often now they, I guess they still are.
443
1199551
3439
20:02
Like, if you go to a concert, you
444
1202991
1735
20:04
usually just show your phone and go in.
445
1204727
1671
20:06
You don't always get a wristband.
446
1206399
1695
20:08
Sometimes you can buy a wristband.
447
1208095
2015
20:10
There will be a special wristband from the event.
448
1210111
2739
20:13
If you go to a fair or an event where you
449
1213430
2928
20:16
go in and out, they'll, they'll often give you a wristband.
450
1216359
3071
20:19
So again, a wristband is a small plastic or
451
1219431
3479
20:22
rubber thing that goes on your wrist either from
452
1222911
5063
20:27
the event you're at or as your ticket kind
453
1227975
3143
20:31
of, to go in and out of the event.
454
1231119
1663
20:32
And some people collect wristbands.
455
1232783
1991
20:34
Uh, some people will buy wristbands at every
456
1234775
2687
20:37
event they go to that sells them, and
457
1237463
2191
20:39
then they'll have a nice little wristband.
458
1239655
1911
20:41
Correct collection.
459
1241567
1399
20:42
Um, I'm always sad when I
460
1242967
1887
20:44
see things from one direction.
461
1244855
1495
20:46
They were a very, very fun group.
462
1246351
2287
20:48
They're no longer together, but I was definitely a
463
1248639
3075
20:51
one direction fan in the sense that if they
464
1251715
3711
20:55
were on the radio, I would listen to them.
465
1255427
1823
20:57
If I went to a one direction concert and they
466
1257251
2103
20:59
had wristbands, I would probably get one for sure.
467
1259355
3035
21:03
Mugs.
468
1263450
980
21:05
Yeah.
469
1265650
888
21:06
I hope this isn't a lesson where this
470
1266539
2607
21:09
is only stuff that North Americans collect.
471
1269147
3127
21:12
And now you think North Americans are strange.
472
1272275
2119
21:14
But people do collect mugs.
473
1274395
2399
21:16
They might collect mugs in the
474
1276795
1523
21:18
same way they collect other souvenirs.
475
1278319
3263
21:21
So when you go to Niagara Falls, you can buy a
476
1281583
2831
21:24
mug that says Niagara Falls on it with a pitcher.
477
1284415
3015
21:27
When you go to New York City, you can
478
1287431
1855
21:29
buy a mug that says, I love New York.
479
1289287
2479
21:31
So you might collect mugs from different
480
1291767
2719
21:34
places you've visited, or you might have
481
1294487
2583
21:37
a different reason to collect mugs.
482
1297071
1839
21:38
A mug is, of course, I think it's a ceramic
483
1298911
4099
21:44
thing to drink out of, to drink hot beverages.
484
1304390
2392
21:46
I try to think of what the definition of a mug is.
485
1306783
2295
21:49
It's one of those.
486
1309079
1143
21:50
If you drink tea or coffee, you generally use a mug.
487
1310223
4127
21:54
In our part of the world, we don't use
488
1314351
2463
21:56
plastic glasses or glass glasses to drink coffee.
489
1316815
5007
22:01
I know in some parts of the world people do.
490
1321823
1967
22:03
But in North America, you either drink your coffee or tea
491
1323791
4119
22:07
from a mug if you're at home or at work.
492
1327911
2643
22:10
Or you might take it, drink it from, like a takeout
493
1330555
2495
22:13
cup if you're getting it from a drive through restaurant.
494
1333051
3519
22:16
But some people like to collect mugs.
495
1336571
3339
22:21
Antiques.
496
1341290
1376
22:22
This is another one that costs a bit of money.
497
1342667
3735
22:26
It doesn't have to.
498
1346403
903
22:27
It's not like collecting cars, where you need
499
1347307
2487
22:29
thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
500
1349795
2287
22:32
But when you collect antiques, it means
501
1352083
1807
22:33
you collected things that are old.
502
1353891
2909
22:36
Antiques are things that people used 2030, 5100
503
1356801
4623
22:41
years ago, 200 years ago or more.
504
1361425
2775
22:44
You might buy an antique plate or
505
1364201
3023
22:47
an antique radio or an antique.
506
1367225
1871
22:49
I can't put my finger on
507
1369097
975
22:50
the picture table, an antique telephone.
508
1370073
3727
22:53
So again, antiques are old things.
509
1373801
3087
22:56
And some people just like to collect antiques.
510
1376889
2831
22:59
They like old furniture in the way it was made,
511
1379721
3541
23:03
or they like having a few old things around.
512
1383263
2647
23:05
I think when I'm older, if I had a
513
1385911
2583
23:08
little bit of extra money, I might collect things
514
1388495
3359
23:11
from the eighties, like video game related stuff.
515
1391855
2943
23:14
They wouldn't technically be antiques.
516
1394799
2527
23:17
I guess they would be, but that would
517
1397327
2263
23:19
interest me to collect older things that I
518
1399591
2559
23:22
could have on a shelf somewhere.
519
1402151
2287
23:24
I guess that's what you do with your collection, right?
520
1404439
1911
23:26
You put it on a shelf, if you can.
521
1406351
1899
23:29
Toys.
522
1409330
1120
23:30
Some people collect toys.
523
1410451
1191
23:31
These are actually called beanie babies.
524
1411643
2015
23:33
I believe there are popular toys
525
1413659
3391
23:37
that people like to collect.
526
1417051
1819
23:39
Often the fast food restaurants will give out toys
527
1419730
3944
23:43
like this sometimes to encourage people to collect them.
528
1423675
3335
23:47
What they really want you to do is buy hamburgers.
529
1427011
2375
23:49
But some people like to collect toys.
530
1429387
3287
23:52
They'll collect stuffed animals.
531
1432675
1975
23:54
Um, sometimes people really, really like teddy bears.
532
1434651
3409
23:58
And so they'll have a teddy bear collection.
533
1438061
2815
24:00
They'll have 510, 15 teddy bears, all different
534
1440877
3815
24:04
shapes and sizes, uh, that they have bought
535
1444693
2887
24:07
and that they keep in their collection.
536
1447581
1951
24:09
So I do not have a toy collection.
537
1449533
2647
24:12
Well, it's not true. I still have.
538
1452181
1895
24:14
I think I still have some lego from when I was a kid.
539
1454077
2343
24:16
But I wouldn't call that a collection.
540
1456421
1695
24:18
It's just in a box.
541
1458117
1223
24:19
But some people like to collect toys. Dolls.
542
1459341
4659
24:24
Some people like collecting dolls.
543
1464001
1671
24:25
Dolls are, of course, little toys.
544
1465673
2807
24:28
Sometimes dolls are created for people to play with.
545
1468481
3047
24:31
Sometimes dolls are created simply for collectors.
546
1471529
4071
24:35
So these dolls, to me, look
547
1475601
1719
24:37
like they were made for collectors.
548
1477321
2423
24:39
I'm not sure any kids ever played with these dolls.
549
1479745
3175
24:42
So again, a doll is a small toy that looks like
550
1482921
3255
24:46
a baby or child that little kids will play with.
551
1486177
4121
24:50
And some people really like to collect them.
552
1490299
2783
24:53
And I bet you old dolls are worth quite a bit of money.
553
1493083
3067
24:56
Cds, records.
554
1496890
1688
24:58
So there's a whole list of things you can
555
1498579
2975
25:01
collect when it comes to music, and it kind
556
1501555
2831
25:04
of extends into movies and tv shows now.
557
1504387
4207
25:08
So you might have a record collection or a vinyl
558
1508595
3039
25:11
collection, or we sometimes call them lp's or albums.
559
1511635
4271
25:15
They're the original large black discs that are made from
560
1515907
3721
25:19
vinyl that you can play on a record player.
561
1519629
2239
25:21
Some people have a cd collection.
562
1521869
1783
25:23
Some people have a Blu ray collection
563
1523653
1567
25:25
or a dvd collection or a VHS.
564
1525221
2647
25:27
That's the, the big black tape you would
565
1527869
3127
25:30
put into a VHS to play a movie.
566
1530997
2879
25:33
But some people like to collect them.
567
1533877
2063
25:35
If you have really, really old records from the seventies, they
568
1535941
4927
25:40
might be worth quite a bit of money for sure.
569
1540869
3671
25:44
Film posters.
570
1544541
1179
25:46
When a film is being advertised, when a
571
1546380
3856
25:50
film is coming out soon, there are usually
572
1550237
2711
25:52
posters, usually in the theater, sometimes at the
573
1552949
3239
25:56
shopping mall, sometimes even at a grocery store.
574
1556189
2903
25:59
You will see posters advertising
575
1559093
2599
26:01
or announcing a new movie.
576
1561693
1879
26:03
And these are desirable as, as collector items.
577
1563573
4535
26:08
Like people really like collecting movie posters.
578
1568109
3127
26:11
Sometimes people get the original movie posters, but sometimes
579
1571237
3331
26:14
they just go to a store or they might
580
1574569
2511
26:17
order online a copy of a movie poster.
581
1577081
3679
26:20
So if you really liked Star wars, you might have
582
1580761
3039
26:23
a movie poster from each of the movies that came
583
1583801
2727
26:26
out and you might have them on display.
584
1586529
2815
26:29
I like movie posters.
585
1589345
1447
26:30
I don't have any art on my walls, but
586
1590793
3383
26:34
if I was to put things on my walls,
587
1594177
2255
26:36
movie posters would be something I would consider.
588
1596433
2667
26:39
Film posters, movie posters, postcards.
589
1599920
2608
26:42
So this is kind of funny.
590
1602529
1911
26:44
You, a lot of you have sent me postcards,
591
1604441
2431
26:46
and I do collect postcards now, kind of by
592
1606873
2767
26:49
accident, because people send them to me.
593
1609641
1719
26:51
I get about four or five a week. It's very nice.
594
1611361
2383
26:53
The address is below.
595
1613745
1635
26:56
But some people actually buy postcards when they visit
596
1616120
3704
26:59
a country and they don't mail it to anyone.
597
1619825
2895
27:02
So you can buy a postcard and write a
598
1622721
1903
27:04
message on it and mail it to someone.
599
1624625
2465
27:07
You can buy a postcard and just take it
600
1627091
2087
27:09
home and put it in your postcard collection.
601
1629179
2487
27:11
And then here's another interesting one.
602
1631667
2455
27:14
I know someone who, whenever they visit somewhere, like if
603
1634123
4671
27:18
they go to Italy or Japan or South Africa, they
604
1638795
4375
27:23
buy a postcard and then they mail it to themselves
605
1643171
4487
27:27
so that they have the postcard and the stamp from
606
1647659
3279
27:30
that country and then the little authorization stamp as well.
607
1650939
4921
27:35
So a postcard is basically a small card, kind
608
1655861
4495
27:40
of a thick piece of paper with usually a
609
1660357
2831
27:43
picture on one side of a location, a city
610
1663189
3415
27:46
like New York, and it will say New York.
611
1666605
2583
27:49
And then on the back you can write something and you can
612
1669189
3327
27:52
put an address on and a stamp and you can send it.
613
1672517
3367
27:55
Very cool.
614
1675885
679
27:56
I enjoy every postcard I get.
615
1676565
1895
27:58
I, I do read all of them.
616
1678461
1887
28:00
I know some of you send postcards and you might
617
1680349
2231
28:02
wonder if I read them, but I do appreciate them.
618
1682581
2655
28:05
So if you want to send me a postcard, there's
619
1685237
1991
28:07
a, an address below PO box 419 Smithville, Ontario, Canada.
620
1687229
5463
28:12
Lor two ao. That's my address.
621
1692693
1943
28:14
It's right down there.
622
1694637
1083
28:16
Buttons.
623
1696820
880
28:17
So these are kind of interesting.
624
1697701
1975
28:19
On one side, there's a pin.
625
1699677
2303
28:21
And the pin goes through your clothes,
626
1701981
1911
28:23
and it holds the button on.
627
1703893
1975
28:25
And you might wear a button to support a sports team.
628
1705869
3151
28:29
You might wear a button that
629
1709021
1287
28:30
says, vote for Justin Trudeau.
630
1710309
2267
28:32
Like, if you support a certain candidate in an
631
1712577
3111
28:35
election, you might wear a button because you want
632
1715689
2871
28:38
other people to know that's who you're voting for.
633
1718561
2739
28:41
Buttons are kind of interesting.
634
1721840
1960
28:43
You can hurt yourself when you put a button on.
635
1723801
2999
28:46
You don't want to accidentally poke yourself because.
636
1726801
2671
28:49
Yeah, the back is.
637
1729473
1191
28:50
Is this interesting?
638
1730665
1639
28:52
It's like a needle pin kind of goes
639
1732305
2591
28:54
through your clothes and then snaps on.
640
1734897
2063
28:56
I did wear a button once at school,
641
1736961
4463
29:01
and it had a magnet on the back. So that was nice.
642
1741425
2559
29:03
That was a little safer.
643
1743985
1191
29:05
I think that was a button.
644
1745177
1283
29:07
Shoes.
645
1747680
968
29:08
Someone mentioned this.
646
1748649
1111
29:09
Some people like to collect shoes.
647
1749761
1967
29:11
Some people simply like to collect shoes
648
1751729
3655
29:15
because they like to wear them.
649
1755385
1615
29:17
Some people like to collect shoes that maybe are connected
650
1757001
3695
29:20
to a certain athlete, and they don't wear them.
651
1760697
2671
29:23
They just put them on display.
652
1763369
2111
29:25
I don't collect shoes, but I guess
653
1765481
3239
29:28
I do have a shoe collection.
654
1768721
1399
29:30
I have my good pair of running shoes, my walking
655
1770121
4351
29:34
shoes, my farm running shoes, my old running shoes.
656
1774473
7375
29:41
I think I have five pairs of
657
1781849
1247
29:43
running shoes because I like to walk.
658
1783097
2303
29:45
And I actually like to wear
659
1785401
1239
29:46
a different pair every other day.
660
1786641
2047
29:48
But I wouldn't call it a collection.
661
1788689
2007
29:50
Michael Jordan.
662
1790697
1421
29:52
Uh, Lionel Messi.
663
1792119
1287
29:53
Uh, Lionel Messi has it.
664
1793407
1495
29:54
None of them have signed my shoes.
665
1794903
1807
29:56
I just have basic shoes.
666
1796711
2383
29:59
Actually, I have these shoes, uh, right here.
667
1799095
2583
30:01
They're, uh, asics.
668
1801679
1331
30:03
That's the exact shoe that I have.
669
1803710
2700
30:09
Is it really? Is it really?
670
1809470
1984
30:11
Yes, it really is.
671
1811455
1255
30:12
This is, uh.
672
1812711
1167
30:13
We're gonna have twin day at school.
673
1813879
1583
30:15
We have a day wherever, like, two
674
1815463
3367
30:18
teachers dress up wearing the same clothes.
675
1818831
2511
30:21
It's usually midway through the year.
676
1821343
1423
30:22
So this year on twin day,
677
1822767
1079
30:23
I'm just gonna bring my bobblehead.
678
1823847
2003
30:26
That'll be fun.
679
1826670
1140
30:28
Comic books.
680
1828390
1160
30:29
This has become quite popular.
681
1829551
2999
30:32
You can go to comic book stores.
682
1832551
2287
30:34
There are stores that buy and sell comic books because
683
1834839
3015
30:37
there are a lot of people that collect comic books.
684
1837855
2687
30:40
Comic books are.
685
1840543
1639
30:42
Any book that tells a picture, tells
686
1842183
2745
30:44
a story through pictures and words.
687
1844929
2823
30:47
So there are some really cool comic books from
688
1847753
2759
30:50
different countries, and people love to collect them.
689
1850513
4271
30:54
So I, myself do not have a comic book
690
1854785
2743
30:57
collection, but I do have several Tintin comic books
691
1857529
3751
31:01
and a few asterisks and ooblecks comic books. Very nice.
692
1861281
3339
31:06
Also, there's like Superman and Batman and all those.
693
1866400
3368
31:09
Um, if you're a musician, you
694
1869769
1657
31:11
might have an instrument collection.
695
1871427
2247
31:13
If you play guitar, you might have a guitar collection.
696
1873675
2447
31:16
If you play violin, you might have four of them.
697
1876123
2631
31:18
Probably not, but maybe.
698
1878755
1719
31:20
It's probably more likely with guitars.
699
1880475
2303
31:22
If you play piano, you probably
700
1882779
2063
31:24
don't have a piano collection.
701
1884843
1991
31:26
But if you have enough money and if you
702
1886835
3503
31:30
have a place to put them, and if you
703
1890339
2655
31:32
like guitars, you might have a guitar collection.
704
1892995
2567
31:35
Certainly if you're in a rock band and
705
1895563
1671
31:37
you're a guitarist, you might collect guitars, watches.
706
1897235
6125
31:43
So you can collect all different kinds of watches.
707
1903361
3431
31:46
Right now it's becoming popular to
708
1906793
2687
31:49
collect digital watches from the eighties.
709
1909481
4183
31:53
It's very popular for people to find old Casio
710
1913665
3367
31:57
watches and try to make, get them working again.
711
1917033
3375
32:00
Some people collect expensive watches.
712
1920409
2423
32:02
Maybe you collected cars and Rolex watches.
713
1922833
3247
32:06
If you are someone who has that much money.
714
1926081
2499
32:09
I have my Fitbit.
715
1929240
1768
32:11
This is the old.
716
1931009
1591
32:12
This is the only thing I wear.
717
1932601
1335
32:13
It was, it was $129. That's it.
718
1933937
3423
32:17
I'm not buying anymore.
719
1937361
1311
32:18
I do have a Fitbit collection, though.
720
1938673
2687
32:21
I have three because two are broken.
721
1941361
2575
32:23
So over the years, I've actually, the first
722
1943937
3255
32:27
one I smashed while working on the farm.
723
1947193
2647
32:29
Then the second one, I don't know what happened, but
724
1949841
2095
32:31
I think I hit it against the wall at school,
725
1951937
2599
32:34
and it, it ended up cracking and doesn't work anymore.
726
1954537
3183
32:37
So.
727
1957721
559
32:38
So I have a collection, two that
728
1958281
1687
32:39
don't work and one that works.
729
1959969
2279
32:42
But anyways, some people like to
730
1962249
1975
32:44
collect watches or old timepieces.
731
1964225
2555
32:48
Handbags.
732
1968120
1112
32:49
So maybe you really like Gucci
733
1969233
1951
32:51
or you like Yves Saint Laurent.
734
1971185
1543
32:52
Do they make bags? I don't know. Who all makes bags?
735
1972729
2279
32:55
I'm not, obviously.
736
1975009
1033
32:56
Wait, there's an Eve Saint Laurent
737
1976043
1333
32:57
at the top there, isn't there?
738
1977377
1783
32:59
Maybe you like handbags.
739
1979161
1895
33:01
You might call this a handbag.
740
1981057
1343
33:02
You might call this a purse, depending on the size.
741
1982401
2579
33:05
Jen does not actually collect handbags.
742
1985880
2928
33:08
I'm thankful, because handbags are not cheap.
743
1988809
3047
33:11
They are very expensive.
744
1991857
1479
33:13
But maybe you enjoy collecting handbags or purses,
745
1993337
3767
33:17
things that you can put things in when
746
1997105
2103
33:19
you go out for the day.
747
1999209
1891
33:22
Books.
748
2002290
872
33:23
So when we talk about collecting books, sometimes people will
749
2003163
4887
33:28
collect books in the sense that they buy books and
750
2008051
2527
33:30
read them and put them on a shelf.
751
2010579
1879
33:32
So if you read science fiction, you might
752
2012459
2727
33:35
have a huge collection of science fiction books.
753
2015187
2495
33:37
But some people just collect old books.
754
2017683
2663
33:40
They like buying old books.
755
2020347
1999
33:42
So they look, we don't usually call them
756
2022347
2223
33:44
antique books, but, like, similar to antiques, people
757
2024571
3367
33:47
like buying old books and old books almost
758
2027939
3143
33:51
always look like this when I imagine them.
759
2031083
1991
33:53
They're usually brown and faded, but they might be
760
2033075
3173
33:56
looking for the first edition of a certain book.
761
2036249
4071
34:00
So maybe they're looking for the first edition of
762
2040321
2247
34:02
a Sherlock Holmes book because they know it's very
763
2042569
2703
34:05
valuable and they want to buy one because it's
764
2045273
2295
34:07
worth money and they want it in their collection.
765
2047569
2771
34:10
People collect art.
766
2050880
2080
34:12
You do not have to have a lot of
767
2052961
1767
34:14
money to collect art, although if you have a
768
2054729
2495
34:17
lot of money, you can collect more expensive art.
769
2057225
2999
34:20
But if you enjoy having things on
770
2060225
3003
34:23
your wall, interesting paintings that people have
771
2063229
3223
34:26
made, you might collect art.
772
2066453
1983
34:28
So you might go to an art show,
773
2068437
1782
34:30
you might go to an art gallery.
774
2070220
2095
34:32
There might be an artist that you really, really
775
2072316
2312
34:34
enjoy, and you might buy a work of art
776
2074629
2751
34:37
from that person to add to your art collection.
777
2077381
4179
34:42
I should have some art, and maybe that should be my.
778
2082739
3321
34:46
The thing I do, maybe I should spend a
779
2086061
2232
34:48
little bit of money every other year on art.
780
2088294
3432
34:51
I have trouble spending money on things that don't
781
2091727
3247
34:54
do anything, but I guess art does, right?
782
2094975
2223
34:57
It makes you feel good.
783
2097199
1927
34:59
It makes you appreciate life.
784
2099127
2047
35:01
Maybe I should collect some art.
785
2101175
1655
35:02
For those of you who are artists
786
2102831
1943
35:04
out there, leave a comment below.
787
2104775
2395
35:08
Video games some people collect video games.
788
2108630

Some people like collecting the consoles, which is the
789
2111599
3199
35:14
device that plays it, or they like collecting the
790
2114799
2821
35:17
cartridge, which is the thing you put in.
791
2117621
3399
35:21
I do not think I will be doing that. I don't know.
792
2121021
4095
35:25
Maybe I will collect video games someday.
793
2125117
2287
35:27
I played a lot of video games as a PC.
794
2127405
2755
35:30
Sorry, on a PC I didn't always play console games,
795
2130780
3328
35:34
but it would be fun to buy some old consoles.
796
2134109
4063
35:38
I'll have to think about that.
797
2138173
2407
35:40
Some people collect wine.
798
2140581
1943
35:42
Sometimes they drink the wine, sometimes it
799
2142525
2059
35:44
just sits in their wine cellar.
800
2144585
1783
35:46
So maybe you really like wine.
801
2146369
1959
35:48
Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes.
802
2148329
3271
35:51
So they grow grapes in a vineyard,
803
2151601
1727
35:53
and eventually they will make wine.
804
2153329
2159
35:55
And some people like to collect wine
805
2155489
2271
35:57
and put it in their wine collection.
806
2157761
2503
36:00
They have a little wine cellar or an area in
807
2160265
3287
36:03
their house where they keep the wine, and every once
808
2163553
2943
36:06
in a while they open one and drink it.
809
2166497
2803
36:10
Action figures.
810
2170450
1152
36:11
So action figures are small, little
811
2171603
2311
36:13
toys usually related to comic books.
812
2173915
3927
36:17
So if you like the Avengers, you
813
2177843
1599
36:19
can buy a Thor action figure.
814
2179443
1791
36:21
If you like the X Men, you
815
2181235
1879
36:23
can buy a Wolverine action figure.
816
2183115
1631
36:24

817
2184747
1127
36:25
buy a Superman action figure.
818
2185875
2199
36:28
They are things you can buy that little toys you
819
2188075
3687
36:31
can buy that are from the comic books you like
820
2191763
2847
36:34
to read, or the cartoons you like to watch, or
821
2194611
3133
36:37
the movies you like to watch as well.
822
2197745
2839
36:40
I don't have any action figures, so maybe someday.
823
2200585
3775
36:44
And then lastly, bobbleheads.
824
2204361
2215
36:46
So again, a bobblehead is something like this.
825
2206577
4935
36:51
The head moves because there's a spring in the back.
826
2211513
3927
36:55
It's usually made to represent a person in real life.
827
2215441
4527
36:59
So you can buy bobbleheads of sports figures,
828
2219969
2527
37:02

829
2222497
2243
37:05
If you have really nice fans, they get a
830
2225540
3136
37:08
bobblehead made for you and sent to you.
831
2228677
2647
37:11
So I have my little bob, the canadian bobblehead.
832
2231325
2263
37:13
But yes, bobbleheads, little figurines where the
833
2233589
3591
37:17
head moves on a spring and bobbles.
