person and your skin is just kind of perfect and I'm wondering how you do that how don't touch it nothing oh yeah oh it'll fall off yeah shoot do you start glow I don't know what it is you're is it you're something you're eating I said this in an interview I have I became obsessed with laser porn and basically you know you laser porn well I called it laser porn because once somebody he said you know I was like yeah I can get a couple of these sun spots cuz I like the sun you know

I'm a California girl and it's a hard habit to break feels so good but you know you get to the place where it's like oh maybe not so much and so I went and investigated having some of those little things Zapped and and I did this thing called like a it's like a peel which is extremely intense you don't really understand that you actually look like like like a battered burn victim for a week and then and then it just falls off starts to fall off your face fell off for like like eight days and

then it just kepts yeah I was you were in that's going to be horrifying was horrifying I do have it documented but it was horrifying hope you save the face afterwards the the the actual thing fell off yeah you could I couldn't keep it in one intact piece oh man that is eBay gold I know characters actually other characters talk about how beautiful your skin is and then I see you in person and your skin is just kind of perfect and I'm wondering how you do that how don't touch it oh yeah oh it'll fall

off yeah shoot what does that mean like shoot here I thought shoot was a verb like for to what you do with a a weapon or like a ball playing basketball you shoot but what does she mean here with shoot yeah it's actually a euphemism so we have the word and like a lighter way that you can say it is shoot and she probably said that cuz she's on television right right yeah there's also like heck instead of Hell or dang instead of damn exactly and so she said that uh I had to fall off

why didn't she just say it'll fall it'll fall off is like it's attached to something and it will become detached from that thing so it's more meaningful than simply fall it adds detail to fall it's a phrasal verb fall off right it'd be the whole thing would be it'll fall off of my face you do you s glow I don't know what it is you're is it you're something you're eating right so to Glow this is interesting because obviously a light bulb glows literally but I often see this word this verb glow being used to

talk about people uh people's faces their appearance when they just like look really healthy especially their face looks healthy you could say like ah you're glowing yeah a lot of times you'll hear it about pregnant women that happens when they are pregnant it makes their skin look more healthy so you can say that though even if if someone's not pregnant or you can say it also be less common but you could say it to a man that you know you're glowing said this in an interview I have I became obsessed with laser porn and basically

you know you laser porn well I called it laser porn because once somebody said you know I was like yeah get a couple of these sunspots cuz I like the sun you know I'm a California girl and okay so she's saying she's got obsessed with laser porn which is a random thing yeah total novel new thing to me but uh what what does she mean here uh to be obsessed with something if you're obsessed with something it means that that thing is all you can think of or you're doing it excessively so if you were

obsessed with learning English with TV series that means you can't get enough of our videos you're watching them every day you almost have an addiction and it can even be used in a positive way sometimes here at real life we have uh a value one of our company values is to do less than obsess what is that so basically we're saying that that you can't do everything if you try to do everything you're just going to do a mediocre or average job on those things but when you focus on just doing a few things and

you really pour your energy your curiosity into those things then you're able to do a world class job on them meaning that you're able to be one of the best people in the world at doing those things said this in an interview I have I became obsessed with laser porn and basically you know you laser porn well I called it laser porn because once somebody said you know I was like yeah can get a couple of these sun spots cuz I like the sun you know I'm a California girl and interesting she says is's a

California girl and she is using all of these discourse markers which is something that uh very true there's a stereotype right of the Californian accent or there's even what's that term again Valley Girl exactly yeah so what would you say here about all of the these different discourse markers that she's using right so she says a lot you know well but you know and they're not adding any meaning but natives tend to use these because they give us a moment to pause to gather our thoughts and she might even be using this in excess maybe

because she's a little bit nervous in the interview it's a bit of a strange story to be telling and so on but as an English learner I used to teach these to my students because they can actually be valuable instead of just being there like uh when you are trying to think of a word you can use these to sound more natural in that moment that you're trying to think of something and some of these are even slightly functional I could say I you tell me like I I think like when you say something like

C like the verb c as a discourse marker mhm a lot of times that helps your other person prepare for something that you'll add maybe some detail or something you're going to explain next right but you're just like a saying that to just have more time to think a lot of times they can have a subtle meaning for example when you say you know it might be looking for approval from the other person that they understand what you're telling them they understanding the point of the story and you know I was like yeah can get

a couple of these sun spots oh and by the way she mentioned sunspots and they are basically these dark spots that uh you get by being exposed to the sun okay so I'm sure you're learning tons of new expressions and words in English but let me tell you that if you don't review these words soon enough you will forget them they'll just vanish from your mind and there's a reason why that happens and to help you deal with that to help you address that problem we have created on a real life app an exclusive deck

of flashcards to help you remember all this vocabulary forever want to see how it works let me show you so on the real life app we have an advanced memorization technology called spaced repetition which is this scientifically proven way for you to build long-term memory you basically start by reviewing the new difficult words more frequently and as you validate your knowledge of them the system will space them out so you see them less and less frequently as they join your active vocabulary until you no longer need to review the word at all because it's part

of your long-term memory now just imagine being able to speak English naturally as I'm doing right now I'm not a native speaker of English uh I'm from Brazil and I've learned a language just like you are do and I can tell you that if you use these vocabulary flashcards they will help you express yourself more clearly just like you do in your native language without translating in your head just think about all the conversations including really important ones like a job interview for example where You' just be amazing if you could remember all these words

let me tell you that it is possible you can do it in a really fun natural and convenient way on a real life app with these vocabulary flashcards does that sound interesting to you well you should check it out it's free to download just look for real life English on Google Play or the app store or just simply click the link in the description below and I'll see you there it's a hard habit to break feels so good but you know you get to the place where it's like oh maybe not so much and so

I went and investigated having some of those little things Zapped and it's interesting she says uh it's a hard habit to break why didn't she say a hard Habit to stop or to interrupt or any other verb there right that's a collocation we say you break a habit meaning that you end that habit that's probably the most native like way that you can use that yeah this is often ignored or overlooked by many Learners the fact that it's not just like learning words individually you need to also pay attention to what words usually come together

with other words in this case to break a habit or to build a habit even if you want to talk about starting a new habit yeah actually on our other channel real life English we just did an episode recently talking all about how you can and you should learn collocations to sound more natural and to better understand English so you guys might want to check that out we could link it down in the description of this episode and so I went and investigated having some of those little things Zapped and and I did this thing

called like a it's like a peel which is extremely intense her voice is just so funny like a I don't know if she's feel so confident telling the story because it is kind of weird right but what does she mean here talking about to have something Zapped so laser zap like in Sci-Fi movies that sound that they make and so we'll use that often when we're talking also about lasers for skin care that you get something Zapped by a laser you can also say to zap your food in the microwave that's another similar cocation and

so I went and investigated having some of those little things Zapped and and I did this thing called like a it's like a peel which is extremely intense so interesting the way she pronounced there some of those how did she say it yeah so almost all the time when you hear some of we're going to have some connected speech there of reduces to just a SW sound uh and she says su su some of those maybe we can listen to that again and you guys can repeat having some of those having some of those little

and I did this thing called like a it's like a peel which is extremely intense you don't really understand that you actually look like like like a battered burn victim for a week and then intense what's what's say peel as a noun here cuz like she's saying like it's a procedure right a peel yeah like you peel banana right as a verb or a banana has a peel and then we have this would be a chemical peel I believe is what she is referring to which is some sort of mask they put on you that's

supposed to rejuvenate your skin by maybe burning off the old skin cells so she says that uh by doing that she actually ended up looking like a burn victim or even worse like a battered burn victim what is that yeah a burn victim is someone who was a victim of a burn basically so maybe their house caught fire they couldn't get out in time and so they got intense burns on their skin and battered it's kind of an aggressive term often like used as a battered housewife for example like someone who's being abused by their

partner physically of course she's just using this to emphasize her point but we can hear this also in other context for example the word batter I assume also comes from this like cake batter because you're beating it with a whis into a paste yeah interestingly I also remember seeing his expression in movies set in medieval times there were these big things called battering rams that were used to knock down houses and buildings and I guess we can show it here on screen and all it would do is basically batter a building down right to to

knock it down I do have a documented but it was horrifying you help me save the face afterwards so what does that mean if you have something documented it means you have proof of it so I assume that she took photos of it for you know Nostalgia of that weird period that she passed it's weird how we we document these moments in our lives like whenever we we do something strange like a procedure like this we just take pictures I don't know why hope you save the face afterwards the the the actual thing fell off

yeah you could I couldn't keep it in one intact piece oh man that is eBay gold I know yeah it's funny like save the face there he's just saying like to keep it right to not throw it away the the old skin uh but there's an expression uh to save face which is not what he means here which is just what is that to save face it's to avoid an embarrassing situation so when face in this sense is more like your reputation mhm which is not what he means he's just talking about keeping that skin

and she was saying that she couldn't keep it all like in one intact piece what is intact it means whole or complete so you could think for example if you drop your phone and the screen breaks you could say oh you know the screen's broken but at least the rest of the phone is intact meaning the rest of it works perfectly and it's funny he said if she had that the face she could sell it on eBay can you imagine bu jener Anderson's face or skin yeah this is kind of a slang use of gold

when you say something is gold in that sense it means it's something of obviously very high value or can even be used figuratively to say that something is very high quality like maybe Izzy told me a very funny joke that he came up with I said man that joke is gold so now let's hear uh Jennifer talking about her experience shooting this movie uh called winterlust this was it set on a farm did where did you shoot this in in Clarksville Georgia Georgia Heaven beautiful most beautiful uh Countryside and we were there the most gorgeous

time of the year was just going from sa to or summer to fall and so we had some Lake time and we were all on this Lake am I being rude to you by just no not at all not at all okay it's the it's the way it is I know I'm sorry it's okay just before and Andy when we go out there you're not to speak to her no it's just ease dropping basically exactly it's creepy it's pervy the way he's doing it look you go ahead and finish yeah there's a scene on the

farm where you milk a goat I do and it looked like you really milk the goat I did really milk a goat had you done that before not stunt milking well that was horrible uh I had not i' done it once at the at the camera test and I couldn't do it cuz it was seemed really too intense right it was you had really grab at it and it was like I'm a city girl I'm not that's not my thing right right so but then I was like during the day I had to get prepped

and I just went for it and I was like bite the bullet let's just milk this thing right and it was did you make you feel like okay I could live on a farm you did it no no you don't ever want to do that again no I know it wouldn't be opposed to it right but it wouldn't be like I'm going to move to a farm and milk goats I'm shocked that you're not going to do that are you is that make me a bad person yes it does uh this was it set on

a farm did where did you shoot this in in Clarksville Georgia Georgia Heaven beautiful most beautiful uh Countryside and all right so this movie wonderless I haven't watched it but apparently it's set on a farm uh which means it takes place there it was shot there and she said that that happened in a Countryside of Georgia what is a side of a place basically the part that's not the city and I think you you Ethan are from the countryside of Colorado is that right would you say that you're from the countryside or is that not

really that part of the state we wouldn't use it in that way I think like in Portuguese you do use a similar word for anywhere that's not the capital but Countryside is more like a rural area so I'm from a town it's a populated area so it wouldn't be considered Countryside and we were there the most gorgeous time of the year was just going from Fall to or summer to fall and so we had some Lake time and we were all on this Lake I being rude to you by just no not at all not

at all okay it's the it's the way it is I know just politely asking I might being rude to you cuz she has her back to him right yeah but that is the way it is as he responded there which by the way that's a cation like it's the way it is that's the way things happen because that guy Andy he usually sits there he's Conan's sidekick he's assistant So he responds not at all so how is he actually pronouncing that yeah that's some really nice connected speech we have the American tea happening twice there

American tea happens when we have a t between two vowel sounds most times so instead of saying not at all we have like not at all and those American te's also are linking to the next fow so not at all maybe you guys want repeat that with Andy am I being rude to by just [Music] not just before and Andy when we go out there you're not to speak to her no it's just EAS dropping basically exactly it's creepy it's pervy the way he's doing it look that's such a such a funny word there like

eavesdropping uh what is that when you EES drop on someone's conversation you're listening to it even though you're not really a participant in it so if you're sitting in a restaurant and you hear some juicy gossip happening at the next table and you're kind of like overhearing this is generally considered very rude to even drop on other people's conversations and that's why then Conan is joking that it's creepy it's pervy these are kind of similar if something's creepy it means it gives you a bad feeling so could be the case that someone's like EES dropping

you or they're they're watching you from the shadows and you you feel like reaped out and and pervy comes from a pervert a pervert is someone who maybe makes like sexual advances unwanted sexual advances on someone and so pervy would be the adjective form of that there's a scene on the farm where you milk a goat I do and it looks like you really milked the goat I did really milk a goat had you done that before stunt [Music] milking stunt milking stunt milker so milk here is not the noun like the milk that you

drink it's the verb which is like when you milk a cow right have you ever uh milked a cow by the way I have not no I haven't had the pleasure or maybe ever drunk uh like fresh from the cow like milk fresh from the cow no but I I would really like to try it I've heard it's tastes very different than store-bought milk have you I have yeah and it just tastes weird it just tastes like uh like Farm it's Farm taste tastes like f not in a good way yeah it it's just strange

maybe people who are used to it like it but U yeah you know the smell of being there like next to cows in the farm like the taste is very similar to the smell so it is kind of weird I wonder if it's you know how sometimes when you smell something you kind of feel like you can taste it I wonder if you were to drink the fresh milk but not on the farm if it might taste better it's like maybe you're getting some of that manure smell that's infiltrating the taste of the milk maybe

and that is the word I was looking for and it said Farm there is like the manure yeah the manure there you go yeah anyway so she said that she was not stunt milking the goat so uh what is a stunt here in this case so many people know Tom Cruz is famous for doing his own stunts but many other actors don't do this and this is typically in action movies that there's dangerous things they're doing in their profession who try to look a bit like the actor and do these dangerous things so the actor

doesn't accidentally get injured doing something that they're not trained for so it's quite humorous to think about having a stunt milker you know someone who they're calling in who's a professional milker who can take Jennifer Aniston's place in the scene so but then I was like during the day I had to get prepped and I just went for it and I was like bite the bullet let's just milk this thing right yeah CU she had to get prepped for it and we often use that word here for example um before recording these lessons we just

prep now it is different from the word to prepare from the verb to prepare but what is exactly the difference I think we use get prepped usually when it's for a job or a performance for example one that comes to mind is doctors have to get prepped before surgery and this is an action of getting sterilized and into the right outfit before they're performing surgery on someone because if they don't do that then there can be infection right the surgery can not go well so they have to get prepped but that's not the same as

saying they get prepared hopefully they're also prepared like they have the knowledge the skill the tools that they need right I was like bite the bullet let's just milk this thing right and then she says bite the bullet which is basically like just going and doing a thing even though that you know it's going to be difficult so that's what she's doing is like just get it over with you know just finish it just go for it do it and get it done you don't ever want to do that again no I know it wouldn't

be opposed to it right but it wouldn't be like I'm gonna move to a farm and milk goats Jennifer Aniston just moving deciding to give up acting moving to a farm and milking goats but she wouldn't be opposed to it which means that she wouldn't get she wouldn't be against it she has nothing against people who do that but she doesn't want to do it not for her not her passion yeah so if you're opposed to something basically you disagree with it you disapprove of it she's not against it but it's not her thing and

she said all right so now it's time for you to test your comprehension by watching the clip a final time this time without subtitles your movie Wanderlust which uh we're going to talk a lot about there's a lot of references in the movie and I realize it's true just looking at you now characters actually other characters talk about how beautiful your skin is and then I see you in person and your skin is just kind of perfect and I'm wondering how you do that how don't touch it nothing oh yeah oh it'll fall off yeah

shoot no do you sort glow I don't know what it is you're is it you're something you're eating I said this in an interview I I became obsessed with laser porn and basically you know you laser porn well I called it laser porn because once somebody said you know I was like yeah I can get a couple of these sun spots cuz I like the sun you know I'm a California girl and it's a hard habit to break feels so good but you know you get to the place where it's like oh maybe not so

much and so I went and investigated having some of those little thing Zapped and and I did this thing called like a it's like a peel which is extremely intense you don't really understand that you actually look like like like a battered burn victim for a week and then and then it just falls off starts to fall off your face fell off for like a like eight days and then it just kept yeah I was you were in that's going to be horrifying horrifying I do have it documented but it was horrifying hope you save

the face afterwards the the the actual thing fell off yeah you I couldn't keep it in one intact piece oh man that is eBay gold I know this was it set on a farm did where did you shoot this in in Clarksville Georgia Georgia Heaven beautiful most beautiful uh Countryside and we were there the most gorgeous time of the year was just going from Fall to or summer to fall and so we had some Lake time and we were all on this Lake am I being rude to you I just no not at all not

at all okay it's the it's the way it is I know sorry it's okay just before and Andy when we go out there you're not to speak to her no it's just ease dropping basically exactly it's creepy it's pervy the way he's doing it look you go ahead and finish yeah there's a scene on the farm where you milk a goat and it looked like you really milk the goat I did really milk a goat had you done that stunt milking well that was horrible uh I had not i' done it once at the at
