But today, I want to start our final half-hour with...
Now, I will say this before we start.
I stressed earlier, Marquet,
Ante's l'importancia,
tiempo cara no vasico,

I came for cara no vasico.
You got to drill in the basics.
Right? It's so important.
tiempo cara no vasico,
to focus on the basics of the language.
Right?
But that doesn't mean we can't learn some higher-level things from time to time,
de vez en cuando.
So let's learn one of those right now as we explore the Drive Time Frazel Verb.

or is it stick at the script?
Stick To.

So, uh, David, let's hear that sound.
Good.
You like this one, huh?
Okay.
I need to hear it again, David.
It was too intense for me.
It was too intense for me.
Okay.
It was too intense for me.
Okay.
It was too intense for me.
Okay.
It was too intense for me.
Okay.
It was too intense for me.
Oh, come on.
It's too intense for me.
I think I know what it is.
I have two, I actually have two guesses.
But both are very, very different.
I feel like I should wait before I even give my own guesses.
Yeah, I'm going to wait.
But, uh, right in, everybody, right in,
tell me what you think, um,
tell me what you think, uh,
this could be on Instagram or on Twitter,
either way on X as they say these days.
And we'll talk about that speaking of X.
We do have a lot of responses to our Twitter translation on X today,
so you can write in.
And we'll get to that a little bit later.
I said, uh, I said today.
How is it in English?
We're going to, we're going to do a little bit of news.
Noticias.
And then we're going to come back and give an answer to that section.
Okay.
So we're going to do that a little bit early today.
That's where it's placed.
That's a little bit early today.
Para hablarlo bien.
Exactly.
But now let's get into the weird world of weird news.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for today's weird news.
Okay, folks.
Yes.
All right.
We have a football club has apologized for giving a moment of silence
for a living player.
Now normally you get um, um, um, um, um,
when someone dies, right?
But a UK football club has found itself in an awkward situation
after holding a minute silence for a former player who had turned out
was still alive.
So yeah, this guy hadn't passed away yet.
And this is from a couple of days ago.
And we're talking about, um, a guy named Arda Cardsali.
And they mourned.
Well, yeah, this Bulgarian player mourned.
Let's say Petko Ganchev was mourned, actually.
Before Sunday's Lee game.
And it turned out that they had been misinformed about his death.
He was in fact not dead, but they had to apologize.
This is a Bulgarian football team, folks.
Bulgarian team.
Interesting country.
And they said, well, we wish him many more years of good health.
Fair enough.
The world's ugliest animal has been named in New Zealand's fish.
Uh, well, as named fish, uh, sorry, fish of the year in New Zealand.
New Zealand recently crowned the world's ugliest animal.
As fish of the year, this peculiar competition aims to raise awareness
about endangered and lesser known species.
Yes, the winning fish with its unique and unconventional appearance
has sparked conversations about biodiversity.
And the importance of protecting even the most unusual creatures.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Now, another one, uh, diamond earrings swallowed by suspected thief.
Yes, a suspected thief in the United States swallowed a pair of diamond earrings
in an attempt to evade capture.
So imagine you have, you've stole some earrings.
And what are you going to do? The police are coming for you.
You swallow them, not that I would recommend it, but it's what he did.
It's what this thief did.
Swallowed a pair of earrings.
And the incident left many amused and kind of confused by the length
that some individuals would go to to avoid getting caught.
To go to lengths.
Is to do something unexpected or surprising, right?
Anyway, there you have it. It's kind of strange stuff.
Strange titles, everybody.
And today's strange news.
Now, we do have people writing in about our Twitter translation.
And we've got a bunch of answers. Let's see what people are saying.
And I want to see if people are getting this right.
Okay, this machine, we have got me, says this machine is for opening boxes.
This machine is for opening boxes.
Now, this machine is used to open boxes.
AOP, this machine is for opening boxes. He has both.
And that is correct. Dana says this machine is for opening boxes.
And that's true.
And then, yeah, let me see Dana.
This machine is for opening boxes. Very good.
And we have some people writing in on Instagram as well.
Let's see what people are saying on Instagram.
Maria Jesus says this machine is for opening boxes.
And that's correct.
But think of the following.
It's like, keep out of you that day.
I am here to help you.
I am here to help you.
Un abrelatas es para abrelatas.
A can opener is for opening cans.
Lo hicimos para mejorar nuestra imagen.
We did it to improve our image.
Ah, estas frases son para mejorar tu inglés.
These sentences are for improving your English.
Icé estas frases para mejorar tu inglés.
I made these sentences to improve your English.
Un calendario es para saber la fecha.
A calendar is for knowing the date.
I wear a watch to know the time.
So this is an interesting topic.
Because a lot of people make mistakes with this.
Confusing two and four.
So when you talk about the reason for existence.
Then you say it is for I.N.G.
Right?
Von radio is for helping you improve your English.
I am here to be here.
I am here to help you improve your English.
But the radio is, with the verb to beat, is for helping you improve your English.
A cigarette lighter is for lighting cigarettes.
David uses his cigarette lighter to light cigarettes.
Because it is for lighting cigarettes.
But I use my cigarette lighter.
I have a cigarette lighter, but I use it to light candles because I don't smoke.
Right?
A can opener is for opening cans.
But I use my can opener to keep papers from blowing away in the wind.
Yeah.
A stapler is for stapling papers.
I use my stapler to staple papers.
The calendar is for knowing the date.
I use my calendar to record my appointments.
Right?
So it is important to know when we use two and when we use four.
So in this case, our listeners who are very smart,
are regular drive time listeners who improve their English every day
because they listen to the drive time show on Von radio.
Good choice.
They got this correct.
This machine is for opening boxes.
This machine is for opening boxes.
Very good.
Very good.
Exactly.
Very good.
Very good.

Anyway, we are going to move on everybody.
I think David is joining us in the studio.
He is here everybody, believe it or not,
let's get into today's vocabulary.
All right, everybody. It's time for some vocabulary. David, are you ready? Okay. Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go. Well, David, I was thinking today we could talk about the world of let's call it table.
It's tableware. Tableware. And what I mean is things you can put on your table for a dinner, you know, a dinner party. Okay. Cutlery, you know, cubiertos.
It's a plush, plush, let's say, because everybody knows fork, knife, spoon, but I'm talking about how do you say so better?
So better, but do you mean the spoon? Yeah. Okay. So soup. I don't know really. Soup something. We could say a soup spoon. Wow, it was easy. I know English is easy. I know. It's what I'm telling you, David.
No, no, we used to it. Or we also say a ladle ladle, but ladle is more like a, what do you say, cazuelo? No, when you eat the big one for serving, cazo, para servir. Yeah, it's a ladle. All right. What about, um,
plato sopero, plato sopero. I like the way that sounds. Plato sopero. Well, you say that. Plato, um, well, it's a ball. It's a ball, no? Yeah. Well, it depends. It depends on many things, but I would say a plato grande. That's it.
But she is para la sopa. Well, soup plate, maybe. Yeah, but here we'd have to say a soup bowl, soup bowl, soup bowl.
Oh, and it's great for us. A bowl is distinto. This is a bowl is for serious example. But what if I want soup? What if I want some hot soup?
Yeah, where we're going to put it? I can't put it on a plate. You can put it on a plate. No, you can't put it on a plate. Well, if you're crazy, it's going to go all over the floor.
The platondo. You know the platondo, but it's for soup. Yeah, I know. That's like a halfway thing. Claro. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay.
Bowl. We're going to say soup bowl though in English. We have to say soup bowl.
Tenedor para, uh, boo, para trinchar. Yeah, the door para trinchar on the trinchar is la carne. Claro, the trinchar is a bubble.

Well done. You came up with that one. Well done. I said, I did it. So I have done it with a turkey.
Not with a turkey. I've done it with an intercord. I think, oh, yeah, okay. Nice. Nice.
Now, uh, cuchara para el helado. Um, so elado is ice cream. Uh-huh. So cuchara.
Well, I don't really care. Cuidado. Because it's not, well, we could say an ice cream spoon. You could say, but not really.
The big one for taking the ice cream out of the container. We call an ice cream. I don't know.
Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Uh-huh. And we, so we have the verb to scoop the ice cream. Um, do you like scooping ice cream?
Well, I've never done it. You've never scooped ice cream out of a container. Do you ever buy ice cream and serve it?
No, because, um, here, at least in Spain, we have the, you know, the typical shops.
When you can buy ice creams, yeah, someone else scooped it for someone else.
But in your house, do you ever bought, do you ever have ice cream and take some and scoop it out for yourself?
Not really, eh? Are you, are you not an ice cream guy, David?
Well, yes. I am. But I buy, I buy them always. Ah, like on a stick.

Coffee cup doesn't help me in the morning,
but what I want is a cup of coffee.
It's empty.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Great.
All right.
And the same with a glass of wine.
On a Saturday night,

Mm-hmm.
Anyway, thank you, David, for your time.
Yeah.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Okay.
All right, everybody.
We're almost out of time,
but we have to review our sound.
El sonillo de hoy.
Let's hear it again,
and then I'm going to give you my guess.
My two guesses.
And then, David, we'll give us the answer.
And we will review with our colleagues here
with our friends on Instagram and Twitter.
OK, I had two guesses.
The first guess I have ruled out after hearing it again.
I thought maybe it was Ron horses running.
Caballos, Corriendo.
And then with the very windy Camucho Viento.
And horses are running.
But no, no, no.
My definitive answer that it is a rocket ship
or a spaceship launching a rocket launch.
Like it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like it could be like it.
It could be like this.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It could be like this.
Yeah.
It could be like a SpaceX launch
or a NASA rocket launch.
Is that what it was, David?
Yes.
That's what it was.
So Anna says,
my guess is a rocket launch to space.
Could it be?
That's right.
By a new well done.
It was indeed a rocket launching to space.
Very good.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Yes.
Born to Ironman says.
Ah, he was.
No, he was sorry.
He was commenting on yesterdays.
And he says,
which was yesterdays.
I said, what a drag.
It is getting up.
Yes.
The lyrics I was thinking I said,
oh, that's a song and David was mother of Little Helper
by the Rolling Stones,
where he says,
what a drag.
It is getting old.
I'm not doing it justice.
But anyway, yeah, okay.
Yeah.
