other words you know we don't we don't there aren't really normal worlds en el castellano de toda la vida acabando con m y por eso la gente piensa en bueno vamos a meter una n what's the problem what's your problem system ham ham ham and cheese I'm going to pick them up at the ham and cheese shop soy un animal espelto I'm a slim animal David como si estoy en la memoria de mi madre I'm in my mother's mind yeah my mother's mind or my mother's memory also I'm in my I'm in my mother's memory remember I'm in my mother's memory I'm going to pick them up the ham and cheese shop go to anything doctor uh ah well what's the verb doctor doctor mode when you go

mm mm mm mm mm mm mm hmm is that paratomimo? Well you're English to hum doctor mode yarn oh no doctor mode yarn is to stutter st st st st st st st st st st st st st st con remendo no me voy a dejar de seguir en Spanish. ¿Tá, tarah? ¡Oh, ya, tar, tararéar! Tá, tararara, tar, tararara, tararara. ¡No, pero, ¡its, tarararear, ojo! ¿Cómo? ...tá, tarararear. ...tá, tarararear. ¡Ya! ...tarararear. ¡That was the word, that I was looking for, yeah! ¡Só, qué complicado! ¡Así que, en el futuro, voy a... ...or he will, he will hum! ¿Cómo si de eso en español? ...tá, tarareará. ¡That's it! ¿Ya? en inglés es mucho más fácil hum

ok, Jim carareara no, el himno el himno, Jim carareara, el himno en todos los gimnasios, los gimnasios en every gym o en all the gyms Jason is with us, Jason, how's it going? qué tal? Jason who is here with his band will call, remember a couple months ago and he's checking in, good to see you Jason but yes, Jim carareara el himno en todos los gimnasios Jim will hum the him in some of the gyms bueno, algunos de los gimnasios mejor, some of the gyms algunos no Jim will hum the himm in some of the gyms and he's sending us greetings he says gamma roba gamma roba

gamma jova from Georgia that's Georgia hello, hello, hello hello, hello Jim will hum the him in some of the gyms so why am I saying this ridiculous sentence? well, because we're practicing closing the lips with a letter M hum the himm in some of the gyms ham, ham and cheese, David Beckham right? so we don't say problem what was he? problem gotta close the lips, very important ok? pero tarde o temprano, sin terara tarde o temprano ooh sooner or later right? sooner or later tarde o temprano algún día tarde o temprano sin terara sooner or later he will

enterarse Brian says he'll know ok, but esto es más saber pero enterarse la idea de empezar a saber algo, ¿no? averiguar bueno to find out you can say sooner or later he will find out enterarse to find out which is passive, right? you find out about something enterarse de algo sooner or later tarde o temprano ¿cudet be notis? bueno, es que es como darse cuenta es un poco diferente noticing es como visual bueno, acknowledge with the senses so you could notice I noticed a strange smell when I came into the studio I noticed it was hotter

than usual es como dar cuenta pues enterarse es más con información para tener aware de información ¿no? ¿ok? ¿no es tarea que cuándo se enteré? I won't be here when he finds out yeah I won't be here when he finds out Now I'll pray though writes in on Instagram we're over here having on Instagram I recommend you check it out I'm Kyle Miller en Instagram we're live join the fun ok Alfredo says realize yes and I believe that now realize is very similar but I think in English realize is a little bit more intellectual so you could notice something but not realize what it means so I noticed something

someone walked by but then later I realized that it was my brother oh my gosh so to realize so to realize es un paso más right? it's a bit more intellectual it's you've processed something so notice is like darse cuenta enterarse but then to realize it's a little bit more and having yeah and having some knowledge of what it means some understanding of a consequence right? so yeah I realized I noticed I noticed I noticed that it was cold think of this when I walked into the studio I noticed that it was warm and then I realized that the air conditioning was enough

and that's why does that make sense, Debbie? yeehaw alright okay alright I suppose yes I guess that's the way of saying yes yeah that makes sense right? so yes I noticed or when I came in I noticed I noticed a smell I noticed a strange smell and then after two minutes or after 30 seconds realize that something was burning, right? Okay. We're going to translate four more sentences, four more sentences. Okay. La guerra se ha terminado. La guerra se ha terminado. The war is over. It's like game over. Sacabó, right? The war is over. Yeah.

Estoy cansado de esperarle. I'm tired of waiting for him. Yeah. I'm tired of waiting for him, right? I'm tired of waiting for him, like the song by the kinks. So tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for you. I'm dating myself. That's from 1960 or so. No, the 1960s. But anyway, I'm tired of waiting for for him. Now, remember, waiting, guys, be careful with waiting and hope, wait and expect. Here's a good one, David. Espero que no esperes que te espere. I hope, sorry, that make me laugh. I hope that you don't expect me to wait for you.

Ah, very good. Well done. Las clavado, eh. Que nivele, nivelazo. I hope you don't expect me to wait for you. So, remember, hope. You hope with your heart. In English, I transverbos completamente distintas que no tienen nada que ver. Verbo distintos, perdona. Hope with your heart. Expect with your head and wait with your body. Hope is an assessment of desire, desayo, right? Hope. I hope I win the lottery. I hope it stops raining. I hope the weather is nice next weekend. I hope whatever, desayo, esperar con desayo. Hope, right? Expect es esperar con

probabilidad. It's an assessment of probability. You expect with your head. It's you are anticipating an outcome. Good, bad, ugly, indifferent, digual. You hope with your heart, you expect with your head and you wait with your body. I'm waiting for the bus. Estoy esperando el autobús. Claro, normalmente se enciende que quiero que... I want the bus to come. Quiero que venga, no? El autobús. Sujuntivo, hombre, nivelazo. También nivelazo, por favor. Es que... Claro, ya sabes. So, so, yes. I'm waiting for the bus, but it's not really talking about desire or probabilidad. You're just... Estás parado. You are waiting for something to happen, okay? So, you hope with your heart, you expect with your head and you wait with your body.

Now, we have another great expression. I can't wait, okay? I can't wait. So, this is like a very kind of emotional, very common. I can't wait for summer vacation because I love my summer vacation, you know? And I'm going to take a trip and I can't wait. I'm very excited about it. Now, we have another way that's a little more, uh, business-y of saying, I can't, I can't wait. And one of those ways is to say, uh, I'm looking forward to mas i-n-e-h-e. Vale? Look forward to mas i-n-e-h-e, o mas, um, sustantivo. Porque realmente el sustantivo, el i-n-e-h-e sustantivo, es... Es la cosa. Es, es, es called a gerand noun. Mm-hmm. Okay. But, yes, I look forward to going on vacation. I'm looking, I am, or I am looking forward to seeing you again. I'm looking forward to the meeting. I am looking forward to going there.

Esperarcon ilusión. So, put it here. But, yes, I can't wait. It's very common. I can't wait to, I'm hungry. I can't wait to have dinner. I can't wait to, uh, I don't know. I can't wait to go to the beach, when the weather's nice, whatever. Okay? Hope, wait and expect. I promised four more and I only did two Davids. I think I falte a dos frases y tenemos solamente un minuto. Estoy cansado de esperarle. I already did that one. Sorry, I already did that one. Pardon me. ¿Dónde estará? ¿Dónde estará? I wonder, como me pregunto, no? I wonder where he is. ¿Dónde estará? I wonder where he is. I wonder where he is. Uh-huh. Algo debe haberle pasado. Algo debe haberle pasado. Something, no, this is a logical conclusion. ¡Ay Dios mío!

Something must have happened to him, right? Alfredo says, where will he be? Cuidado, okay? No es una pregunta en el futuro realmente. Esos tunderecimos en inglés, como me pregunto, no? I wonder, I wonder where he is. But here, Algo debe haberle pasado. So, this is a logical conclusion. We're saying, well, something must have... Something must have happened to him. Something must have happened to him. ¿Dónde estará? Something must have happened to him. We're out of time, everybody. The music tells us we're out of time. We have to take a break. A short break, but I'll be back in a few minutes with plenty more. I'm going to finish on Instagram. Thanks for watching on Instagram. I'll do this again soon. I'll be back with plenty more in the second half hour of our drive time show right after this. So, don't touch that doll.

Vaugan, vaugan. Vaugan, vaugan. Vaugan, vaugan. Vaugan, vaugan. Vaugan, vaugan. All right, now this is a band, I would consider a one hit wonder. One hit wonder. When we say one hit wonder, we mean a band that had one big hit song. And this was it. The song is called Golden Earing. Bendiente de oro. Golden Earing, no? Golden Earing, right?

But the band, sorry, the band, rather, pardon me, the band is called Golden Earing, excuse me. The song is called Radar Love. Radar Love, and this is a Dutch band. They're from Holland. They're from the Hegelaya. In Holland, founded in 1961, they originally called the tornadoes, which is probably a better name for a band, to be honest. But they achieved worldwide fame with this hit song Radar Love in 1973. It went to number one on the Dutch charts and reached top 10 in the UK, number 13 in the US. So they had a big hit with this one. And Golden Earing, yeah, they were founded in 1961. And into the past the year 2000, they were still playing with the same lineup they did in 1970 and doing about 100 shows or more than 100 shows a year in Holland, Belgium and Germany.

So they kept going. They never really stopped, at least into the 2000s. And like many of their songs, this song began with the title and kind of grew from there. It was just going to be an album track. But it turned out to be a single, the big single from their debut album called Moon Tan. Then they were able to cut it down. It was, they had very long songs, but they were able to cut it down to become a radio single. And it become just a huge iconic hit for them. And it's considered a very clever arrangement. The tempo, about 100 beats per minute, very clever arrangement. The intro is on the beat of each bar at the start. And then there's sort of a shuffle rhythm. So you can hear there's a lot of changing beats going on. And there's a lot happening musically. It speeds up. It slows down. Kind of a fun song gets into a lot of different parts.

Like let's listen to this part for a second, Debbie. And then he goes back and it kind of repeats. But it's just a cool song. It's sort of, I can imagine this coming out of a kind of a jam session. It seems like they're improvising a little bit, but obviously it's very orchestrated and very tight. But the thing I wanted to say about this band is that before I came to Spain, I used to live for six months. I lived in Holland in the Hegelaya, in the city that these guys are from.

And I went to see, while I was there, the Rolling Stones came to Holland. The Rolling Stones were on tour. And I went to the show. I got to see the Rolling Stones and standing next to me in the concert, just in the crowd was the guitar player from the Golden Earing. I just started talking to this random guy. We were waiting for the band and we started talking. And he said, well, I was in a band myself. I was the guitarist from the Golden Earing. And at the time I didn't know who that was. But I had to, he said, we had a huge hit. The big number one hit, Radar Love. And I knew the song, but I didn't know the name of the band. I think a lot of people would know. So this was a big hit song, but not necessarily a household band, but a good one to check out. So the album is called Muntan. So imagine a suntan. If you get burnt by the sun, Camadura del Sol. So instead of a suntan, it's a Muntan, one word.

That's the name of this album by the band Golden Earing. Sometime in some periods known as the Golden Earing or another periods known as simply Golden Earing. Right? Pendiente de Oro. And the song Radar Love. Radar Love. Anyway, anyway, that's all I have to say about that one today, but a good tune, a fun track. And speaking of fun, I love this part of the show. I'm talking about our expression of the day. Expression of the day. Ah, the expression of the day. So the way this works, well, I'm going to explain an expression. Yes, that. Let's learn an expression together, everybody. In a pinch, P-I-N-C-H. Now, pinch can be like una pizca. If you say etcha una pizca de sal, right? A pinch of salt. A pinch of salt.

But if you, if you also, do you say pizca to pinch your skin? You say, I don't know. Yeah, we say P-I-S-C-R. Sorry, P-I-S-C-R. Yeah, we double L. P-I-S-C-R. Um, P-I-S-C-R. Nice. A pinch. Um, P-I-S-C-R. Pero también una pizca. Una pizca de sal. No, what I say was, una pizca de sal. A pinch. So either way, we say pinch, but to be in a pinch is basically en una prieto. In a difficult situation. Kind of like in the last week we saw the expression to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think we talked about that expression last week. It means to be in a difficult situation, to be in a pinch, en una prieto.

Oh, my gosh, I don't know what to do. I'm in a pinch here. We have a problem. So it means in an emergency or a difficult situation, maybe resources are limited, and it implies finding a way to manage or adapt when circumstances are not good. Now, the expression is believed to originate from the idea of physical pressure or being pinched in a tight spot. Now, this is a very old expression. This expression goes back over 400 years, describing moments of need or urgency, metaphorically related to the feeling of being squeezed. Imagine, oh, he squeezed me, en una prieto, un poco para conseguir algo así, para conseguirlo. You could say, you know, this is a sort of idea, but to be in a pinch, we're out of eggs.

So we had to use, we used, I don't know, extra milk to bake the cake. I don't know, probably not a good solution. Substituting ingredients as a lack of availability in a pinch. The hotel was fully booked, but we managed to find a small room in a pinch. Mm-hmm. I don't have a ruler, so I used the edge of a notebook in a pinch, to draw a straight line. There you are, making do, to make do, que es apanyarse, to make do, make do, salir al paso apanyarse, to make do, with, to make do with something. Uh-huh. So there you have it. Okay, so in a pinch, well, if we're in a... Now you're in trouble. Yeah, you're in trouble. You're in a pinch.

So you have to use some limited resource. Or you use something to, to salir al paso, to get by in a pinch. Okay? All right. There you have it. So that is our expression of the day in a pinch. Like. Make. Do. Go. Come. Take. Bring. What's the difference? Ah, yes. What's the difference? What's the difference, everybody? You might be wondering. You're saying, Kyle, what's the difference? Well, what's the difference between rude and poorly educated? Or badly educated. Because maleducado. In English, this is like a false friend, right? Maleducado. We'd say poorly educated, badly educated. No. Maleducado would be rude. Ah. So if you say, yeah, if you say maleducado,

it's nothing to do with his education. Education is formación académica. Some people are highly educated, but very rude. Some people are poorly educated, but very polite. There is really no connection. Imagine you're walking in London and someone suddenly shouts at you for no reason. You might say, oh, he's badly educated. Your friend would say, no, no, no. Your friend might understand, but it would be strange. Because English speakers don't say badly educated or poorly educated. Instead, the most common way of saying maleducado is rude. Rude. Rude. Rude. Like, we saw this song last week. You're so rude. Eres tan maleducado. Was the song we saw yesterday. Sorry, not yesterday on Friday. At 6.30.

You can say, he's a rude man. Yeah. Now, if you say poor, he has a poor education. Or a bad education. It means maybe he never went to school. Notice through the omucho. You know, he never learned to read. He had a poor education. Or he didn't, you know, didn't study much. Nothing to do with being polite or being rude, right? There you have it. Yeah. So be careful. We could call that a false friend, right? False friend. False or amigos. Cuidado. Con los falsos amigos. All right. Now, I think it's time for another challenge. Because we love challenges here on the Drive Time Show. Every day, we give you challenges. Un buen reto. Condiciones. All right. So let's get into today's Drive Time riddle. The Riddle.

All right, everybody. It's time for the Drive Time riddle. So the way this works, I'm going to give you a riddle. People are so... But what's that? Riddle. What does that mean? A Certijo. A Certijo. We say riddle. Suscribir riddle. Riddle. Riddle. And you can write in and participate, David. How can they find me online? I'm Kyle Miller, or what comes to be IM KILEMILLAR. Hola. ¿Qué viene siendo? Claro. Y IM KILEMILLAR. Es true. I'm Kyle Miller. Is an Im on Instagram, on Twitter. And on Instagram is a good way to do this, because I also go live. We were just live the first half hour. And you can watch it.

In fact, put it. el programa de hoy en directo la primera parte. Ok, and we'll be doing this more in the future. So if you want to get the video version of the drive time show, make sure you are a friend on Instagram. I'm Kyle Miller, EM, Keelate, Miyar, IM, KYLE, M-I-L-L-L-A-R, Miyar, se escribe. Anyway, our riddle today, everybody, there's the music. Oh my gosh. ¿Qué puede ser? Es una tertejo. Ah, yeah. Ok, here we go, folks. I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I? I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. So you have to know what a branch is. And I'm not going to give you the, I'm not going to give you the translation, because I think that might give it away. It could reveal prematurely, right? I have branches,

but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I? What am I? Ok, so let me know. I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I? Ok, tell me what that is. Now while you think about that, we're going to go ahead, we're going to push forward, everybody, and explore today's awesome adjective. Awesome adjectives. This is a good one. Tacky. Tacky. Do you know what that means, David? Tacky. No, not really. You say ortera, cultre. Yeah. Tacky. You know. So sometimes it could be the way a room is decorated.

If we have bright colors everywhere, covering everything, adornos por todos lados. If I put like jewels all around the keyball around the, the screen on the computer, imagine I put, you know, colors everywhere, and better demasiado, right? Too much. It's like over decorated. And it's like, whoa, no. It's too tacky, guys. Ortera, cultre. Right? Ese papel pintado es mi ortera. Papel pintado. We say wallpaper, wallpaper. That wallpaper is very tacky. wallpaper was big in the 80s. Los años ochenta. But sometimes imagine wallpaper full of flower, a lot of flowers, and a lot of design. And people say, oh, it's really tacky. T-A-C-K-Y.

Chucasa esta llena de adornos ortera. Their house is full of tacky ornaments. Adornos. Yes, adornos. Ornaments. I don't like ornaments. They don't serve any purpose. You know, when people give you thing like a Christmas, they go, oh, look, it's a, it's a ceramic Christmas tree. And you have to, you, you put it out there for a couple of weeks, and then it has to go into storage. And, pff, yeah. I mean, okay, okay. I like Christmas, and I like Christmas decorations. It's okay, but for a limited time. And then you say, well, what am I going to do about this? I have to store it somewhere. Some ornaments can be tacky, T-A-C-K-Y, ortera, cútre, tacky, tacky, tacky. Ese conjunto es realmente ortera. That's a really tacky outfit. Now, I'm going to give you another, another meaning of the same adjective, a different meaning.

Tacky can also mean, take a rosso, a little bit, which is why you say, tack like a, like a tack, una, una, wait, chincheta, no? Una chincheta, a tack, like to put into the, like a tablet, a corcho, and you have a chincheta, it's called a tack, a thumb tack, tack, because it's to tack onto the board. Para pegarlo, para pegarlo, de una manera, to tack it on. In some ways, you say, like, ese pegamento, no sé, que es como chicle, pero serve para, para fijar un poster, o algo así, a la pared. A azul, blue, blue tack. Blue tack, there you go. Blue tack, I don't know how to say it. Blue tack, yes. But do you say that in Spanish, blue tack, yeah? Oh, there you go, because it works, it's used to tack on a poster, because it is tacky.

It's not tacky enough to tack on the poster. We need more blue tack. It's typically blue, right? Tack, tacky. So you can say, oh, it's getting a little sticky, it's a little sticky, a little tacky. The surface is a bit tacky and pulgó pegando a rosso. Sticky, yeah, it's kind of like sticky, but it's much less common than sticky, but the main use of tacky would be to describe clothing, well, describe something as orteida, or maybe kuture, tacky, tacky. Okay, don't be so tacky, ah, it's tacky, you know, some people love tacky decoration. Do you love tacky decorations, Debbie? But what, ah, no, no, of course not, no, no, orteas, no. Like, like, like, you have like a statue of, I don't know, something in the front of your house. No, when I start doing it, it was metrostale and then it was again. I like to have a plant, or some, yeah, a bathio.

Like a minimalist design, minimalist design, yeah, that's what I like. Yeah, I think I, I think I'm the same way, although I accumulate a lot of junk, but it's not that I, things that I think might have purpose, but I do need to clean things out a bit, especially papers, you know, files and paper and teaching. I, I've accumulated a lot of teaching materials over the years. So they're, you know, I need to clean it out, but I don't buy things to decorate. I don't think, ooh, look, a, a beautiful statue or a, an ornament, nah. I don't like that stuff, but hey, some people do, there's nothing wrong with it. No pasa nada. I just saying, no, it's, no, it's del mio, as you say in Spanish. It's not, it's not my thing. It's not my cup of tea. It's not my cup of tea, but I'll tell you what is my cup of tea, which is looking at paragraphs, English paragraphs. That is my cup of tea. So let's spend a few minutes here looking at our paragraph

of the day. paragraph of the day. All right, everybody. It's time for the paragraph of the day, and we're going to read a paragraph, and then I'm going to use a little bit of Spanish to help you with it. Okay. Here we go. The movie, sorry, the main reason the movie made so much money was that a lot of kids saw it two, three, and even four times. I'd guess that up to 40% of the people who saw the film went at least twice. There's something about it that makes you want to see it again. Okay. So the main reason the movie made so much money was that a lot of kids saw it two, three, and even four times. La razón principal de que la película ganara tanto dinero

ver que muchos niños y adolescentes la vieran dos, tres, y incluso cuatro veces. They saw it two, three, and even four times, four times, no times, sino times, times. Okay. Yo diría que hasta un 40% de la gente que vio la película fue al menos dos veces. I'd guess. Right. I'd I would guess. I'd guess. Yo diría que I'd say that, but yeah, I'd guess that up to 40% of people who saw the film went at least twice. Uh-huh. Bueno, minestros metes. I'll go in ella que te hace querer ver la otra vez. So maybe it's like, I feel this way about Star Wars movies, you know.

People are into Star Wars movies and they go, I saw it four times. And then Losh Frinkies, you call them here in Spain. Right. People that who are very enthusiastic. Now, we do the term a nerd. A nerd is kind of like a freaky, but a nerd also implies like informática y que le gusta estudiar y asescosas. You know, a nerd, a computer nerd or someone who's very, very intelligent, usually very intelligent, a nerd. But un freaky, I don't know, just like like we do have the word a freak. Like I'm a sports, I'm a baseball freak. I wouldn't say baseball freaky. I would say baseball freak. Right. Um, freaky. Yeah, we different. We'd say a freak. A baseball freak, like alguien que canta, que le encanta el baseball o lo que sea. A baseball freak, he's a computer freak. He's a computer nerd. He's a, he's a rock music freak.

Es un amante de esa cosa, lo que sea, okay. So we don't say freaky in English. Freaky would be like, oh, that was a freaky experience. Like, we rato freaky, strange. And maybe que asusta, incluso, a good freaky. It freaked me out. Like, it scared me almost. Estadio. Okay, everybody, we're going to take a break, a quick break, but I'll be back, everybody. That was our paragraph of the day. Talking about movies. And yes, some movies do attract, they make a lot of money because they attract people several times. Anyway, we're going to take a break, but I'll be back. You're listening to The Drive Time Show. My name is Kyle Miller. I'll be back in a few minutes with plenty more, so don't touch that dial.
