  • Okay, stop calling him.

  • He What if he says she and you're making her upset?

  • I told you, that's just the shorthand I'm using, don't we?

  • Oh, do you really want your unborn baby to hear you fighting like this?

  • Studies show it's unhealthy.

  • Four feet is to be exposed to a stressful environment.

  • Studies.

  • You're 13.

  • Read a comic book.

  • What time is your game?

  • Start.

  • Have to be there at three.

  • For hitting practice.

  • Batting practice.

  • Not for me, Jay.

  • I don't want our baby to think that he's coming into an unhappy home.

  • Its promise that we're never, ever going to fight in front of him.

  • No fighting in front of it.

  • Okay, Good doing going Todo No more singing.

  • Why?

  • Because you stink.

  • You're a terrible singer.

  • Come on, let's get some lunch.

  • I don't know.

  • No fighting in front of the baby.

  • We just made a deal that's fair because I am always in front of the baby.

  • You're his close to perfect.

  • This woman gets nothing but with one tiny little flaw, yours is when you start to sing It sounds like something got stuck in the vacuum clean.

  • That's your God.

  • That is just your stupid, stupid opinion, J But I am very angry at you, and I am gonna make a list ofall the things that I am going to scream and you ask me these babies out of me I didn't think it all the way through.

  • Please rise for the national anthem.

  • I'm gonna show you who can sing for Be rough despite all the evidence Oh, you don't like which I guess isn't so bad.

  • All I'm saying is I hope that God, you don't have your mother's singing voice But, man, I hope you get her self confidence way The bad you are bad.

  • I used to tell someone to be quiet, calm or still example She's trying to hush her baby mockingbird an American bird.

  • They copies the sounds made by other birds pop it by 10 diamond rings to get that mockingbird to shut the hell up shut the hell up shut up is used to tell someone to stop.

  • Talking north of this often is said with an angry tone and shouldn't be used If you want to communicate with a respectful manner, Shut the hell up is an even more aggressive way to say the same thing.

  • Example.

  • John was about to spill the beans when I told him to shut the hell up Here.

  • J is making a play on words with the famous nursery rhyme, that glorious singing.

  • But I wasn't gonna fill Gloria.

  • She was a terrible singer.

  • That's just taking a bath with a toaster that's just taking a bath with a toaster.

  • By this, J is basically saying it is a suicidal act or a very bad idea.

  • This comes from the concept of committing suicide by electrocuting yourself, taking a bath with a toaster.

  • Still, the thought of that poor little thing stuck in there like a hostage listening to that racket days on end.

  • I just couldn't take it.

  • Stuck in there like a hostage.

  • To be stuck is to be in a position where you can't move Example.

  • He thought he could fit through the hole, but now his head is stuck, and ah, hostage is a person who was captured by someone who demands certain things to be done before letting them free.

  • Example, the robbers took several hostages in the bank.

  • Listening to that racket allowed unpleasant noise or person making such a noise.

  • Example.

  • When the neighbors threw a party, he hated the late night racket so much that he called the police days on end on end means to be happening for several days in a row.

  • This has also said as ours weeks or years on end Example.

  • When he got his PlayStation for, he played on that thing for days on end.

  • I just couldn't take it.

  • If you say you can't take something, it means you can't tolerate it.

  • Example.

  • I used to be okay with her native attitude, but I can't take it anymore.

  • By the way, on end is a super common expression in English.

  • Can you think of an example?

  • Why did you pause the video?

  • Write that down in the comments below.

  • Okay, Did you do it?

  • Then Let's get back to the lesson and the Billy got one push.

  • Really?

  • Billy, go a male.

  • Go here Gloria is making up new lyrics.

  • It is funny because a nursery rhyme would not end with killing an animal, but it is making fun of her Colombian roots.

  • Hey, what Papa is going to do, he's gonna take a turn on that might take a turn on the mike to take turns.

  • Is the alternate doing something with somebody else?

  • So Jay is saying that he's going to take a turn on the mike, the shortened word for microphone in order to talk to the baby and prevent Gloria from singing.

  • Yeah, I've been thinking, If it's a chance to bond, I should take to Bond to become close to another person by getting to know them and having things in common example.

  • In the beginning, I didn't like Aaron, to be honest.

  • But later on in the year we started Bond, I think that the sound of my boys shouldn't be the only thing that the baby should hear.

  • Same pitch to be on the same page.

  • If you're on the same page or someone, it means you agree with them or are thinking the same thing.

  • Example.

  • After some initial disagreement, we got on the same page as Faras.

  • What name to give our baby breaker breaker?

  • Big J Baby.

  • What's your 20 over?

  • Breaker?

  • This is a popular term in truck driver talk from the famous 1977 action comedy movie Smokey and The Bandit, which Gloria mentions when she says Smokey and the Bandit Go Bandido is Spanish for bandit.

  • For truckers, Breaker Breaker is used to start a communication.

  • J does this for fun because the machine they used to talk to the baby seems like a truck's intercom.

  • What's your 20 used to say?

  • What's your location?

  • This is most commonly used in radio communication.

  • You're just a heads up.

  • I might be a few years older than you're expecting, but on the plus side, we're very comfortable Heads up.

  • If you give someone a heads up, you warn that person about something before it happens.

  • Example.

  • My friend gave me the heads up that I should take warm clothes when I visit her in her town.

  • On the plus side, used to introduce the favorable view or perspective of something that also has a negative aspect example.

  • The team ended up losing, but on the plus side we got to watch the game live and had a good time with friends.

  • What's that?

  • Nothing.

  • Tough womb.

  • When a comedian or entertainer performs in front of an audience and they don't react positively, they might say tough room.

  • But J.

  • Makes a play on words with womb because the baby is the audience, tough means difficult, and womb is the place in a woman's body where the baby grows and develops.

  • What were you doing there?

  • Sleeping?

  • What were you doing there?

  • Sleeping J.

  • Do you know a good one hour dry cleaner?
