  • Hello.

  • I'm gonna I'm gonna cook something.

  • My name is ronny.

  • Um but I need my tongs and oh I got to make sure they work.

  • Why do we do that when when you grabbed the tongs out of the drawer?

  • Which is the thing that you store them in?

  • Why don't you just test them?

  • What's that like?

  • Oh I think they broke in the drawer overnight but these are tongs and this system is about doing some really crazy strange things as humans.

  • I think that you're human.

  • Are you a robot?

  • Mm Okay I'm human and I do some really weird things.

  • So for example I wear mascara and every time I put on mascara I do this uh okay let me demonstrate.

  • I'm going to put on mascara and I always have to open my mouth.

  • I could do it like this but I have to do this.

  • What do we do that?

  • Are we eating something?

  • Are we expecting food to fly in your mouth or I got a biscuit.

  • Great.

  • No, no, we're just really kind of strange humans, aren't we?

  • Um, so ask yourself why do I do these things?

  • Why do you open your mouth to put on mascara?

  • Now, if you actually look at this sentence, put on is a phrase, a verb.

  • You're going to learn some fraser verbs.

  • So a phrase, a verb means that there is a verb and proposition.

  • So we put on some kind of makeup put on mascara, put on blush, eye shadow, I don't know what your ladies apply, but whatever you're putting on looks great.

  • So put on means apply.

  • Do you drive a car?

  • Where have you been in the car?

  • Yes we have.

  • Why you're driving along?

  • Got the tunes cranked, which means up really high.

  • You have to find an address, even google maps says, gosh, you have arrived at your destination, but you got to turn down the music.

  • You will never be able to find the address unless you turn the music down.

  • No you know your eyes are like no I just don't I can't see anything until you turn the music down.

  • It has to work with our delicious brains and it's about distraction.

  • I'm telling you the answer.

  • Why?

  • Okay um if we have too many sounds are too much confusion in our heads, we can't focus on one thing enough.

  • So that's the answer.

  • That's why we turn down the radio mm to find an address.

  • Why we open our mouth and we put on mascara.

  • Uh kind of opens your eyes more.

  • Yeah we're just really strange humans.

  • All right that's good.

  • The next one um turned down is a phrase over.

  • So turn down something means you decrease.

  • So we turn down the radio were actually turning down the volume of the radio, but we just say the radio, it's like take the radio, turn it debt now it's not working, so turn down the volume.

  • I do this, so turn off the lights when we leave the room.

  • Now this is a good habit, okay so I'm proud that I do this Ronnie saving energy, but sometimes there's other people in the room, so I leave the room total darkness to the other people.

  • Oh my God, Ronnie, why did you turn off the lights?

  • Oh because I left the room, it doesn't work like that, so be careful, it's a good habit to get into when you leave the room, turn off the lights just make sure there's no other people enjoying something.

  • What are you enjoying?

  • Um This happens to me every day because I live in a place that has an elevator and elevators are quite fascinating actually.

  • There's lots of stuff you can do in them brain.

  • Oh keep it up.

  • Um But you're waiting for the elevator and the elevator finally comes, You stand right in front of the elevator door, the door opens.

  • Oh my God and there's people, what?

  • There's other people in the elevator already and they scare you.

  • Like how are there people in the elevator?

  • The door opens, you look up people, sometimes other people scream kind of like doing this.

  • I have a dog and sometimes the dog comes out first and scares the people and it's just a small guy, but people are weird, so we never another, we never fathom which means think that there is another person already in the elevator, We think the elevator's always empty.

  • It's always for us.

  • I called it thing, it's here, oh there, there's another person in the elevator, get them out of there.

  • Here's another phrase, a verb to throw something out or throw out something.

  • This means you put it in the garbage, so a lot of the times you're making a packet of something, maybe you're making Kraft dinner because you're in Canada or you're cooking something that has instructions.

  • So you rip open the box of the bag of the package, put the crap in your pot, throw out the box.

  • Oh my God, I have no idea how to cook this.

  • What am I gonna do?

  • How long do I cook it for?

  • What's the next step?

  • You have just thrown out all of the magical answers to the world, right in the garbage, But why do they put the instructions on the box?

  • Why not put it inside?

  • That would help us?

  • So throwing out cooking instructions, it's a kind of a stupid thing that we do.

  • Um I do this.

  • I really honestly do this to you a pack extra Guichard now.

  • Let's just find out what these words mean.

  • Pack.

  • So this means I'm going to go someplace on vacation or a night trip or to some place and I need a change of clothes pack means you put the things into your bag, okay.

  • Extra means more than you need and git, which apparently is a slang term for underwear.

  • I've said it my whole life and it's kind of a cool thing to say.

  • No nice git.

  • Which so we always, I always pack extra git and I think to myself, I'm gonna put these in just in case I shit myself because I'm prepared to do that because it's going to be a crazy time when I go on a road trip.

  • But we always do this like we need extra underwear, it's like we think where we prepare yourself for the worst, Oh I'm gonna get diarrhea if I go to Mcdonald's and I definitely gonna need that extra underwear for this job interview, so let's put that in my job interview bag and then if you do actually have diarrhea you're gonna have to go to a public washroom and most of them have locks, which is fantastic to have a lock on a public bathroom and you can say bathroom or washroom doesn't matter.

  • Um Restrooms always weird.

  • Why are you taking a rest in there?

  • What are you two?

  • Uh what you're doing?

  • Okay so in the public washrooms you knock on the door and what do you say when you're in there?

  • Um Hello, I'll be a second.

  • Um So usually you just go or make a noise, a flushing toilet or something.

  • But then the people check the door and they check it again and again.

  • It's like maybe it's locked.

  • Maybe it's not locked.

  • Maybe maybe it's just broken.

  • Maybe no there's somebody in here and it's always uncomfortable when you're going to the bathroom.

  • Like I have to go faster because somebody is waiting.

  • Yeah it's just weird.

  • Just we should have like an alarm or something.

  • Someone purpose is in the bathroom please step away from the door until I am ready to come out.

  • I don't know how we're going to get around this one but knocking.

  • Hello occupied.

  • Somebody's in here.

  • I don't know what's going to go there.

  • Um Do you have problems understanding people when they talk to you?

  • I do and I'm native english speaker and sometimes people speak to me in my native language and I just don't understand them and I do this.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah I have no idea what they're saying to me.

  • I'm sure that happens to you if you're learning english but we just kind of nod and say yes and smile and they could be telling us anything.

  • Really?

  • Oh my My 10 Children just died in an avalanche.

  • Yeah and then what if they ask you questions and so what do you think about that?

  • Yeah if you don't understand the person to say them ah sorry I didn't get that or I don't understand that don't just nod get yourself into a lot of trouble.

  • Yeah be careful you don't understand something.

  • Ask the person Did you just say 10 kids?

  • Oh no okay good um mm this is fun so maybe you're waiting at an elevator or to stop like and there's a big button that you get to press okay You know if you press the button one time it's going to do its job is going to its function.

  • So press the elevator button once the elevators like I'm coming to get you but be careful there's other people in here or you're at the stoplight and people press the button many many many times.

  • So yeah do you know what if you press a button it does actually make the light change faster and it does make the elevator come faster so please press it as many times as you want and the faster you press it and the more times you press it it's gonna work faster.

  • I promise try it, it's here.

  • Oh there's people in there, wow what happened there?

  • Surprise um Sometimes I do this um you get into the elevator there's another person how awkward.

  • Now in our crazy world of coronavirus were only allowed to have one other person in the elevator with us.

  • Yes so it's not as awkward but you're still like what do I say?

  • What do I look?

  • Where do I put my eyes?

  • Oh damn I can look at the little lights as they laid up.

  • No my building is quite modern and we don't have the little lights across the top.

  • We have a number plate digital 23 for it doesn't talk.

  • But we always look at this, we just stare at that.

  • You could look at our shoes.

  • It would be better.

  • But we always stare at the numbers.

  • You can look at the person.

  • Well don't look at the people.

  • They'll think that you're weird.

  • Especially your mask.

  • Then you try and talk to them.

  • They just showed up and stare at the numbers and it worked great.

  • And then oh the other person's off the elevator then we can look anywhere we want.

  • We can you know how's my hair?

  • Where's my shoes?

  • We can do that one time I was doing something and I had no idea where my glasses were.

  • Okay.

  • And I was I know I have my sunglasses, I know that I put them someplace and I'm looked in my car, I got out of the room and she ah they're on my head.

  • So I know I put lots of things in my head.

  • It's my new storage compartment.

  • But why do you always forget this?

  • You know there there you look in the mirror like no, not there.

  • Um This one is a terrible habit that we have.

  • Okay, when we click on ads.

  • So this means with your mouse, which is weird.

  • It's a mouse, not a dog or a writer cats the most.

  • And we're looking at something and we don't want this ad there.

  • But they do this on purpose.

  • There's a tiny X.

  • You can't see the ex but it's tiny.

  • Yeah.

  • Oh bollocks.

  • She's clicked on it and and that adds an extra three seconds before you actually get to watch my next YouTube video and you have to wait that three seconds or one minute even after the ads don't click on the odds you go, oh I click on the ads again, it's human habits.

  • So here's another phrase, a verb.

  • I can click on something.

  • No.

  • Mhm.

  • This means that I press my mouse button.

  • If you have a mouse I can click on something as I press it.

  • Um Do we have any other phrase of herbs we can find?

  • What about look for?

  • Okay.

  • If I look for something, it means I search.

  • Oh I just have no idea.

  • Why am I glad?

  • Oh, glasses are so searches to formal.

  • Um We're not going to say I am searching for my sunglasses.

  • We search in a more public thing for missing Children or things that are missing.

  • But in a public realm we can search for those.

  • We can stare act something yep.

  • That was long enough.

  • You stare at something.

  • Um Press the button many times and snack bar say yes or no pack that's and through.

  • That's it.

  • Those are all the phrase overs for today.

  • Ladies and gentlemen.

  • So the next time you take an elevator, press the button many, many, many, many, many, many times you'll get to your destination faster.

  • If you're at the stoplights press that button.
