Well, hello, and welcome

to Wednesdays with Bob, number 50.

00:03
Remember, if you need word for word English subtitles,
2
3390
2820
00:06
you can turn them on,
3
6210
1190
00:07
and there is a complete English transcript

1860
00:09
in the description if you need it.

1720
00:10
So there's a few things I wanted to talk about today.
6
10980
2240
00:13
First of all, I wanted to mention
7
13220
1890
00:15
I'm publishing this video for everybody.
8
15110
2450
00:17
Normally the Wednesdays with Bob videos
9
17560
2180
00:19
are for members only, but I thought today,
10
19740
2460
00:22
I should publish this for everybody
11
22200
1710
00:23
just so that I can give you an update
12
23910
2300
00:26
about why I didn't make an English lesson video yesterday.
13
26210
3550
00:29
Some of you might have noticed that Tuesday came and went
14
29760
3840
00:33
and there was no new English lesson from me.
15
33600
2800
00:36
So I thought I should give you an update.
16
36400
1590
00:37
There's really no good reason, okay.
17
37990
1940
00:39
There's no incredibly serious reason
18
39930
3880
00:43
why (chuckles) there was no video yesterday.
19
43810
1850
00:45
I just had a lot on my plate over the weekend.
20
45660
2780
00:48
I had a lot on my to-do list.
21
48440
1750
00:50
I had a lot on the go.
22
50190
1650
00:51
I was very, very busy.
23
51840
1810
00:53
And then on Monday I just didn't have very much energy.
24
53650
2950
00:56
I was feeling a little bit under the weather.
25
56600
2210
00:58
I wasn't sick.
26
58810
1060
00:59
I just didn't have a lot of gumption,
27
59870
2330
01:02
we sometimes say in English.
28
62200
1410
01:03
So I started working on a video.
29
63610
2330
01:05
I started working on an English lesson,
30
65940
1620
01:07
and it just wasn't coming together.
31
67560
1860
01:09
It just wasn't working.
32
69420
1440
01:10
I had trouble putting (chuckles) my words together
33
70860
2970
01:13
and the lesson just wasn't turning into something
34
73830
2580
01:16
that I was proud of and wanted to put on the internet,
35
76410
2540
01:18
which is odd for me, because generally (chuckles)
36
78950
2760
01:21
I kick out an English lesson every Tuesday, like clockwork.
37
81710
3520
01:25
By the way, if you've noticed, these aren't English lessons,
38
85230
3520
01:28
but I usually plan to use and do use
39
88750
3050
01:31
a lot of little phrases in these Wednesdays with Bob videos
40
91800
4020
01:35
so that you can kind of learn new ways to express yourself.
41
95820
3410
01:39
So I've already used probably six or seven of them.
42
99230
2610
01:41
So anyways, Wednes-, sorry, Monday,
43
101840
2670
01:44
normally I make an English lesson.
44
104510
1350
01:45
I was feeling a little bit under the weather.
45
105860
1690
01:47
I wasn't feeling down, like I wasn't feeling sad
46
107550
4490
01:52
or anything like that.
47
112040
860
01:52
But I was wondering if I was starting to get sick,
48
112900
2540
01:55
and (chuckles) I was a little bit worried.
49
115440
1480
01:56
I actually have not been sick
50
116920
1640
01:58
for the entire time that COVID has been around.
51
118560
2980
02:01
I think I've been sick once, like with a cold or flu.
52
121540
3200
02:04
So I thought to myself, you know what,
53
124740
1930
02:06
I'll work on the video on Tuesday.
54
126670
2430
02:09
And then Tuesday came and went.
55
129100
1710
02:10
There's another little phrase for you.
56
130810
1230
02:12
Tuesday came and went,
57
132040
1440
02:13
and I didn't have time yesterday either
58
133480
1970
02:15
to work on the video.
59
135450
833
02:16
So here I sit on a Wednesday morning,
60
136283
1907
02:18
and I thought, you know what,
61
138190
1300
02:19
I'll just combine the two.
62
139490
1860
02:21
I'll release the Wednesdays with Bob video number 50
63
141350
2660
02:24
to everybody, and you will hear
64
144010
2130
02:26
why (chuckles) lazy Bob didn't make a video
65
146140
2870
02:29
on Monday for you.
66
149010
1640
02:30
And you will be relieved to know
67
150650
1520
02:32
that there's nothing seriously wrong.
68
152170
1340
02:33
Sorry, I should have updated my community page
69
153510
1900
02:35
and said that I wasn't having good success
70
155410
4950
02:40
putting a video together.
71
160360
1460
02:41
And then I had a small technical problem with my computer.
72
161820
3060
02:44
I don't know if you've ever had that,
73
164880
1100
02:45
a little glitch with my computer,
74
165980
1910
02:47
when I was editing the video.
75
167890
1390
02:49
And so finally I just threw my hands up and said,
76
169280
2047
02:51
"Forget it. I'm not making a video this week."
77
171327
2813
02:54
There was not enough time left in the day.
78
174140
2440
02:56
I wasn't thinking clearly anymore, so I just didn't do it.
79
176580
3640
03:00
So hopefully this is a nice replacement for you.
80
180220
1990
03:02
By the way, again, if you do go back and watch this again,
81
182210
3750
03:05
you will hear that I've used
82
185960
1280
03:07
a number of common English phrases
83
187240
3090
03:10
while (chuckles) I've been talking
84
190330
1120
03:11
for the last three minutes,
85
191450
1820
03:13
and you can actually look some of those up
86
193270
2810
03:16
to see what they mean if you need to.
87
196080
1510
03:17
Anyways, I was gonna mention one other thing.
88
197590
1550
03:19
Thank you to all of you who are members.
89
199140
2270
03:21
This is been, this has been a full year
90
201410
3140
03:24
of making Wednesdays with Bob videos.
91
204550
2280
03:26
I know this is number 50.
92
206830
1260
03:28
It's not 52 or 53, 'cause I think I skip a week
93
208090
3550
03:31
every now and then, but thank you.
94
211640
1420
03:33
This is number 50.
95
213060
1020
03:34
I think the first one came out in April of 2020,
96
214080
3330
03:37
and I've been making one fairly regularly every week.
97
217410
3420
03:40
So this is another one of the things you get
98
220830

100
224160
1800
03:45
Anyways, I hope you understood my explanation.
101
225960
2240
03:48
I hope that this English lesson,
102
228200
2120
03:50
which isn't really an English lesson
103
230320
1510
03:51
but kind of is an English lesson,
104
231830
1300
03:53
helped you learn a few more English phrases,
105
233130
2450
03:55
and I'll see you Friday in the live stream, bye.
