... Hello, hello friends. It is that time yet again.
It's the Drive Time Show. That's right, we got a wonderful program for you today. We're going to talk about, well, a world record for the world's largest strawberry. Yep, there's been a new world record set. And it gives us the chance to look at the history of the world's largest fruits. My gosh, we have time for everything on the Drive Time Show. It's a true variety program. And while we do have a little grammar to talk about today, we're going to look at brain versus carry and take what's the difference. I'll talk about those. Also, our history section to talk about today in history. Some interesting things that happened. We have music from the kinks going back to 1965 and their song, Tired of Waiting. A classic. Dirt out of Waiting for You, actually a classic. I remember listening to this when I was a kid.
No, I wasn't a kid in the 1960s. I'm not that old, but my father had the record and a bit of a classic tune. Fidel Castro resigned on this day in 2008, so we'll talk about that in our history section. Plenty to come. Let's jump in, everybody. My name is Kyle Miller and welcome to Drive Time Show. Welcome to Drive Time Show with Kyle Miller and Kyle Miller. All right, friends. Welcome to the Drive Time Show. It is. Well, it's that time. It's Friday and it's the Drive Time Show.
It's time to get things started to jump right into the contents today as we always do by warming up. Actually, but first I do have to remind you, make sure you have the Von Radio app. The app. That's right, because we're going to be disappearing from the TDT. So if you're listening on the TDT, as many of you are, tens of thousands of you do every day, please go and download the Von Radio app. It's completely free, available in the Play Store, the Google Play Store, or the Apple, whatever they call it, the Apple App Market. Is that what they call it? The App Market, I don't know. I don't use an Apple phone, but however you get your apps, search for us. We'll be there quite simply and perfectly titled Von Radio. All right, but let's get things started with today's program by jumping into the warm-up gym.
The Warm-up Gym. All right, folks, warm-up gym. It's that time. We're going to start with 10 sentences of translation. So I will give you the sentence in Spanish and you say it in English. Okay? Okay, yeah. All right, here we go. It is un inuti. That's not very nice. You're hopeless. Hopeless. Now, hope is Esperanza. You know, Tienes ni Esperanza. Yeah, you're hopeless. That's not a very nice thing to say. But anyway, okay, number two. Por que te es eso? Por que te es eso?
Por que te es eso? Por que te es eso? Por que te es eso? Por que te es eso? Number three, tu mesa de trabajo es un desorden. Your desk is a mess. Sí. Tu mesa de trabajo es un desorden. Your desk is a mess. Así que crees que soy desordenado? So you think I'm messy? Tu crees que soy desordenado? So you think I'm messy? Do you? Crees que soy desordenado? So you think I'm messy? M-E-S-S-Y. Not the football player, but M-E-S-S-Y messy.
This is ordenado. Okay. Number five, esoes. Esoes. That's right. Esoes. Okay. That's right. Pero soy mas eficaz que tu. But I'm more effective than you are. Eficaz. But I'm more effective than you are. Tengo serias dudas. I have serious doubts. Tengo serias dudas. I have serious doubts. So here we can use doubt. Spanish people overuse the word doubt. They say, tengo nada. I have a doubt. But it's better to say, I have a question. Okay. In that case. Tengo serias dudas. I have serious doubts. Cuanto quieres apostar?
How much do you want to bet? Well, yeah. Cuanto quieres apostar? How much do you want to bet? How much do you want to bet? No soy jugador. No soy jugador. I'm not a gambler. No soy jugador. I'm not a gambler. I'm not a gambler. Cuál es la diferencia entre Eficaz y Eficiente? What's the difference between effective and efficient? Cuál es la diferencia? What's the difference between effective and efficient? Effective and efficient? What's the difference? El mataron a mosca con un canón es muy eficaz, ¿no crees?
Killing a fly with a cannon is very effective. Don't you think? Killing a fly. Mataron a mosca con un canón. Eso es un canón. Killing a fly with a cannon is very effective. Don't you think? No crees? Lo consideras una forma eficiente del eliminar mosca. El eliminar mosca. Do you consider it an efficient way to eliminate flies? A ití tienes la diferencia? There you have the difference. A ití tienes la diferencia. There you have the difference. Eficiente es muy eficaz, ¿no crees? Eficiente es muy eficaz, ¿no crees?
Eficiente es muy eficaz, ¿no crees? Eficiente es muy despejo, ¿no crees? Oye, no crees. Es muy despejo, ¿no crees? Es muy despejo, ¿no crees? Es muy despejo, ¿no crees? Pero si te utiliza un canón, ¿no crees? Y si te utiliza el canón, el canón, exact amount of water needed, then it's efficient, efficient, okay? So efficient and effective.
Okay, I was about to move on, but why don't we translate another sentence? How would you say, how would you say in English? K.I. in the television is the not you. K.I. in the television we'd say, what's on television tonight? Okay, what's on? So we always say on TV, okay? On television. It's our good film on television the other day. I always watch the news on TV on television. Also, I heard it on the radio. The actor was interviewed on the radio or on radio. I love being on the radio. I've been on the radio for about 12 years. I've been on the radio in Spain and I've been on the radio in Canada a little bit as well too. Yeah, on the radio on TV in the in sorry in the newspaper on the internet,
in the newspaper, I read about it in a book. I saw it in a magazine. I heard it on television. I heard it on the radio. I saw it in a movie. So the use of preposition here, you know, it's pretty simple, but it does require memorization, okay? As we move on, we have some weird stuff to report. That's right. Let's have a quick look at today's weird news. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for today's Weird News. All right, weird news. Some interesting news for you today where a farmer in Israel has entered the Guinness Book of World Records after he grew the largest strawberry on record.
La Frissa or for our Argentinian friends, Fruticia, on record. That's right. Now this came out of Israel and it weighed 289 grams and has been declared the world's largest after this guy named name Shahi Ariel spent a year farming it. Now the strawberry was picked on his family farm near Central Israel in February. Now this was actually in February of last year. It's been stored in a freezer ever since then. He said, we wanted to wait a year for the results. He kept it in the freezer for a year. It's no longer as pretty as it was. It's a local variety of strawberry apparently that tends to grow in a hefty size. Hefty means large. He said the record setting Frut has shrunk to about half the size of it was a
year ago. The previous record for strawberry was grown in Japan in 2015 and that was 250 grams. So this is almost 40 grams more. Mr. Ariel says he jumped up and down, laughing and singing when he got the news. We were very happy to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. So I guess they wanted to keep the fruit and the freezer until the record came in. So what will they do with it now? I don't know. But this prompts me. This caused me to investigate some of the larger fruits in the world. Now the largest naturally grown fruit on a tree is the jack fruit. And the current record for a jack fruit is 42 kilograms. Oh my gosh. Now the giant pumpkin is the heaviest and largest fruit grown on earth by humans.
And I guess the record there was 1190 kilograms. Now this is a cultivated fruit. So they intentionally take the seeds from the biggest ones. They fertilize them. Then they keep going every year collecting the seeds from the largest pumpkins. That's Kārābātās. And they have competitions where they actively grow these things and harvest them around around Halloween in the fall. Now two years ago I was home in Canada during the fall. And I went to a valley called the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia and was able to take a nice a fall trip to some of the farmer's markets in that area. And that was really nice to see and they had huge pumpkins. We went apple picking. There's you know Nova Scotia is actually
quite good for fruit. The gardens grow very well there. Things like cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, apples, pears can grow. Not good for citrus. The climate is not appropriate for citrus and Nova Scotia but potatoes, beans, kale, cabbage, carrots, things like that can all grow very well. Top 10 biggest fruits in the world folks. It's time for the list. The pumpkin, the watermelon, the jackfruit, banana. I suppose the banana if you consider the if you consider the whole bunch we say a bunch of bananas and they can grow quite large when they're all together. And the lemon, apple, strawberry like this one. That's impressive.
The jackfruit. The heaviest jackfruit in the world was grown in India. It weighed 94 pounds. Banana. Banana's are not tiny but yeah you probably wouldn't consider them large either but like other fruits they can grow in a wide variety of sizes. And a guy, in fact in Spain grew the largest bunch of bananas. 473 bananas altogether and they weighed 287 pounds. Lemons how about this the world's largest lemons folks those grew in Israel as well. Almost 12 pounds for a lemon. Tukanem Jose Antonio Molina here in Spain discovered a lemon and he just found one in 2012 that weighed two kilos. Wonderful. How about the world's largest apple? Well one pound and one ounce
an apple was found in Japan in 2005. Strawberry we just talked about the world's largest strawberry ever recently found recently grown actively I should say. So there you go. I remember speaking of strawberry I remember when I was in in Argentina going I stayed in a hotel in Buenos Aires and a beautiful city Buenos Aires. And I was I had breakfast every morning in the hotel and I remember getting trying to get strawberry jam mermela da defreza I said, tenis defreza and they gave me this pack and it said frutilla on it. When I said, tenis defreza and they said frutisha and I said I can see well frutilla but they say frutisha because they have that double L frut, plus a castesia frutisha
frutilla okay what's this frutilla and then I realized oh it's the same thing. It's strawberry okay anyway. Fruit farming ladies and gentlemen on the drive time show as we have weird news from the Guinness book of world records and the world's largest strawberry like make do go come take bring what's the difference. All right folks it's time for today's what's the difference and it's time to talk about the verb to bring and the verb to carry yacastamos the verb to take since we're here. Now bring is the opposite of take bring here take there bring here take there it's almost like traerie bar bring is the opposite of take right to to convey or conduct away from the place take somewhere else but you bring here bring here take there okay. Now we
also have a verb to fetch which is like in apple fetch so you have a dog my dog fee fee and I say fee fee fetch and I throw my stick fee fee runs out and gets the stick and brings it back go and get it fetch the stick okay. Let's practice the conjugation here as is a good lesson with verbs every week I bring my books to class last week I brought my books to class lately I've brought my books to class and don't forget the S of course the third person singular my brother brings his razor with him when he travels he brought his razor with him last time he visited me lately he's brought his razor with him everywhere right bring brought brought now yevaren brazos is so is more is more to carry to carry but yevaren got you we would say to take
take it take it with you but this idea of carrying is like someone's like ir cargado you're loaded up with think something that you're transporting you're carrying it okay we also have the expression carry on carry on which means to continue see get carry on keep going carry on right see get good denua we also say go on carry on we don't want we never say well we rarely say continue continue now it's more common to say carry on go on okay now the verbs bring and carry are not interchangeable okay you should use carry when you're telling the list to transport something to a location other than where you are okay we'd use bring to tell someone to transport something to a
location where they currently are okay so bring requires making a request well you're making a request at the destination carry when the person making the request is not at the destination carry it with you there carry it to another place right it's like taking it cargado to a place okay remember you bring things here you take things there okay so a couple of examples to help you remember imagine first think of a restaurant where you can you can get food to go barrié bar it's often called takeout when you get takeout food you're moving the food from your location the restaurant to somewhere else a destination maybe your house or some other place and it's takeout food it's not bring out food you're taking it to a destination another example imagine I'm sitting at home I'm
feeling a bit lazy wishing dinner would appear I wish someone would bring me dinner so so I imagine my friend calls this I'm coming over I'll bring dinner for the two of us and my friend brings dinner so approaching me taking it to me that would be bringing so it's kind of like come and go right remember to go there and come here come is also as always about approaching and going meaning traveling to a location that is elsewhere okay so come and go bring and take and carry and it's interesting sometimes to think of these words okay to sit back and think of these things isolate them a little bit and try to gain a better understanding before we take a break let's practice a couple sentences of translation really quick come to the city in english de les quesouben
de les quesouben tell them to come up was de les quesouben tell them to come up quesouben por favor have them come up please kebachen por favor have them come down please so imagine come down because we if we are below and they're approaching us they're up high and they're they're is down behind the yaccercando a nosotros coming down going down if we're if we're on the top floor of a building and we ask someone to travel from our floor down to the ground we would say go down but if we're on the bottom and they're approaching us coming down we would say come down right so it's always it always depends on the origin traveling or approaching or traveling away okay we're going to take a short break everybody will
be back with plenty more lots of grammar pronunciation history music and plenty more to help you improve your English with the drive time show we'll take a short break but i'll be right back stay with us folks don't touch that dial been ete.

You're listening to the Drive Time Show with Kyle Miller. The song is called Tired of Waiting for You. Tired of Waiting for You in 19... ...song from 1965. The song is called Tired of Waiting for You in 19... ...song from 1965. It was this day in 1965 that they hit number one on the UK album charts with this song.
Was there second number one in the UK, according to Ray Davies. Tired of Waiting for You was written on the train. On the way to the recording studio. Words were written at a coffee shop during a break in the session. Now fun fact about Ray Davies. Fits are good friend Fits from the mornings here on Vaughn Radio and no excuses. He apparently served Ray Davies when he worked in a bank. Fits used to be a banker in Ireland. And he served... Ray Davies songwriter and guitarist of the kinks. So a little fact there. But what does that mean? A kink, by the way. It's like a piliage. Piliage. Like a fold.
And if you have a hose, for example, like a tubo, the begoma. For water. For example, na manga. Mangera. Or na manga, paragua. For a firefighting or whatever. And you fold over the hose. So the water can't come out. It's called a kink. K-I-N-K. Kink. A fold of crease. A pleat. A kink. Okay, that's the name of this band. The kink set of England. And yeah, they were a bunch of London art school kids. And it was more of a... This song was more of a gentle song. It was a softer song until they decided later to add in Dave Davies sort of famous trademark. Loud guitar riff. And Davies... He went on to say, he said, the recording went well.
But there was something missing. And it was my rough guitar sound. Dave and I were worried that putting a heavy sounding guitar on top of a soft song might ruin it. But luckily it enhanced the recording, giving it a more cutting, emotional edge. And he said, in my opinion, tired of waiting, was the perfect pop record. So in the song, Ray Davies sings about a girl who has him under her spell. And who has him a bit hypnotized. She keeps stringing him along. That's the problem. She keeps making him believe that he has a chance with her. It's wearing him out. And... Why don't we take a look at some of the lyrics here. So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you. I was alonely soul. I had nobody till I met you. But you keep me waiting all the time.
What can I do? And it's your life. You can do what you want. Do what you like. But please don't keep me waiting. Please don't keep me waiting because I'm so tired, so tired, so tired of waiting for you. I was alonely soul. I had nobody till I met you. But you keep me waiting all the time. What can I do? And it repeats. Simple song. Typical of 1960s rock. Early, early era rock and roll. Some simple songwriting about a girl giving a guy trouble. A classic... A classic recipe for a 60s hit. And that's what they had. And this one on this day in 1965. The Kinks with tired of waiting for you. Expression of the day. Alright everybody. It's time for our expression of the day.
Expression of the day today is to bear in mind. Which basically means to keep in consideration. Keep in mind. Montenegro and Quenta. Keep in mind or bear in mind. Basically the same thing. Keep in mind. It's going to be snowing that day, so wear your coat. Bear in mind. Be-e-a-r and people at home are saying, but oh, it's so, it's so. Yeah. Exactly. Bear. Be-e-a-r. Be-e-r. Bear in mind. Keep in mind. Denenquenta. Keep in mind. Bear in mind. And that is our expression of the day. Power of graph of the day. Alright friends. It's time for our paragraph. Yeah, we do a paragraph just about every day. Almost every day. We take a look at a paragraph.
So today is no exception. And it's a part of the show that I do really enjoy. Megusta. Megusta. So I like this. It's a high-dactic part of the show. You can learn a lot from these paragraphs. So here we go. We might even do two. You might even be lucky and we'll do two. But let's see here. Okay, here we go. Ever since he turned 60, he's done less and less work and delegated more to his subordinates. He spends most of his time doing crossword puzzles or reading the newspaper. It makes a bad impression when visitors come and they see him through the glass panel working on a crossword puzzle. Gufigurama. Crossword puzzle. Puzzle. Ever since disteké. Cumpriolo se senta. Ever since he turned 60. He's done less and less work
and delegates more to his subordinates. So it sounds to me like we're talking about a boss. An old boss. He built a company. And now he doesn't have the drive for the day-to-day stuff anymore. So he delegates it. And he spends most of his time doing crossword puzzles or reading the newspaper. It makes a bad impression. Kousa. Kousa. Kousa. It causes it. It makes a bad impression. When visitors come and they see him through the glass panel working on a crossword puzzle. Yeah. That would be the case.
That would be absolutely a bad impression. But hey, he's the boss. You can't say much to him, right? Because he's the boss. I think this one should make sense. I don't think this is a very difficult paragraph at all. Ever since disteké. Ever since he turned. Compliraños. We say to turn. Ever since he turned 60. He's done less and less. Caravez Menos. Less and less. Less and less work. And he delegates more to his subordinates. He spends most of his time doing crossword puzzles or reading the newspaper. Orlando el Periolico. It makes a bad impression. Calsono, no matter how much it makes a bad impression. When visitors come and they see him through the glass panel working on a crossword puzzle. Okay.
He spends most of his time doing crossword puzzles or reading the newspaper. It makes a bad impression when visitors come and see him through the glass panel working on a crossword puzzle. Yeah. I mean, that would be the case. It would be a bad impression. But what do you do? You know, this is a younger employee, I suppose, works in this office and he's commenting on the boss who has maybe lost some of his passion for the day to day of the business. And that's a realistic thing that can happen. All right, guys, you know I love business and I know I love business letters. Why don't we do one today as we get down to business? Bye. Bye. Bye. I was running it now. Come on, physical. Come to my office. What's a bargain? Meeting's starting in five minutes. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Let's get down to business. And it's time for our business letter. One of the things we've been doing a lot in this business section lately is the business letter. It's a great way to develop good writing skills. So we'll start things off. I will read the letter in first in Spanish, little by little in Spanish. And you can translate it into English. Okay? You want to spend your two in English. Transiting in where you can write this down. So get it a piece of paper if you need it's bully. Polygrapho. In polo de papel. Write this down and see how well you can translate today's letter. Here we go. Estimada Felicity. Now, estimada. Here we're going to say, Dear. Dear Felicity. Estimada Felicity. Dear Felicity.

Okay? Anyway, hopefully that was useful for you. You could develop some good writing skills through these business letters. But let's move on. Everybody, how about today's Drive Time, Frazel Verb?
