At the farhampton Inn, we don't cook with grease our menu is organic farm-to-table locally grown no grease
Sir, I am from Minnesota where every meal is cooked with grease and my father dealt a bad food the tastiest eats in the whole
Gosh-darn world, so and how would your father's help?
The point is it tastes really good. Also we needed to help a friend recover from a hangover wait a second.
There's bacon right here and where there's bacon if there's bacon grease which we throw out if we aren't making any more bacon today
Not unless at all somehow it gets eaten in the ten minutes before breakfast is over
No, no dad do not give me that look of mountain of food a ticking clock come on you live for this
I'm not a wild animal
I'm a Columbia educated lawyer poised to become a judge before age 35 and remind me

big fudge
I'm out. Okay, you eat the bacon, you know, I can't I'm allergic.
Ted. I've been trying to tell you this for years. Your bacon allergy is a lie your mother made up
So you'd eat healthy as a kid? No, I'm just allergic to a lot of stuff bacon doughnuts Halloween candy
Not saying thank you. Oh
My god that bitch lied to me
Okay, I'll do it. But
Look, I don't know. I don't even know if I'll like bacon. I
Think I have seen the face of God
How could you mom
You have the map to heaven and you never showed me the way
They rock in the big Canales hell that I've lived in my entire life
Getting crisp it up real nice here don't they Sherman is it applewood smoked?
You know what Ted you've been doing at it in real hard. Why don't you take a breather and I'll Drive us home
Well, congratulations, here's your grease, you know, I don't want to lose a finger
All right Ted let's go no no
I
Finally found the one Marshall her name is bacon. You know, this look great. I want my mom's LT sandwiches
And that's the first and last time I ever ate bacon
At the farhampton Inn, we don't cook with grease our menu is organic in a traditional sort of hotel
grease
Animal fat that is produced by heating meat you can use grease for cooking organic when we say a food is organic
We mean that it has been grown or made without the use of pesticides
artificial chemicals or industrial methods
Example organic vegetable is a much tastier than the ones you get from the supermarket
farm-to-table
Farm-to-table locally grown no grease
Farm-to-table a farm is a piece of land used for growing plant products or raising animals the term farm-to-table
Refers to food going from the farm where it's been produced straight to one's dining table
This is an opposition to the more conventional industrial method which requires food to go through many other stages
I am from Minnesota where every meal is cooked with grease, Minnesota an American state in the Midwest
famous for their traditional values and way of life and my father dealt a bad food the tastiest eats in the whole gosh-darn world, so
Doug to give somebody or something a particular name often in a humorous or critical way
Example the media dubbed Madonna the Queen of Pop
Tastiest eats tasty means delicious eats as a noun is slang meaning food example
Let's grab some eats at that diner before the concert whole gosh-darn world. We commonly say that something is the best thing in the world
This phrase as it is already implies emphasis
But we can add some more by saying in the whole world Marshall here goes even further by adding gosh-darn
These are both more polite alternative words that one might use around children
Gosh is a lighter word for God and darn for them. And how would your father's help? And how is your father's health?
and
How is your father's help?
When does it taste really good the point is we use this phrase as an introduction to a
conclusion or
Most important part of what we're saying as Marshall those here
We may sometimes omit the and just say point is example point is besides exercising
You also need to improve your diet
If you want to lose weight also pay attention to the pronunciation of this phrase the NT sound becomes an N and links to is
What does it taste really good? What is buddy's?
Point is it taste really good learn more about native connected speech in a video
We made by clicking at the top right corner
Also, we needed to help a friend recover from a hangover hangover the resulting sick feeling from drinking too much alcohol
Example last night was fun. But today I woke up with a huge hangover. There's bacon right here and where there's bacon
There's bacon grease bacon a type of meat from a pig. There's salted and dried or smoked with different types of wood
for example, Applewood to add flavor
It is a popular breakfast item in the United States
If we aren't making any more bacon today, not unless at all somehow it gets eaten in the 10 minutes before breakfast is over
Unless yours to say what will happen
If something else does not happen example
Unless you study hard. You won't pass the exam somehow in a way that is not known or certain example
He somehow will find a way to make the money. He needs a mountain of food
A mountain of something a huge quantity of something example, I would do it but I've got a mountain of homework ticking clock
ticking refers to the sound a clock makes as each second passes, but when we talk about a ticking clock
We mean that the time available to do something is finishing and therefore you must hurry you live for this stuff
Ted uses this expression to mean that Marshall finds these types of challenges
Exciting and pleasing. You can say this to talk about something that you really enjoy
Example you're wondering if I'd like to go on a road trip across Europe. Of course, I would I live
All right, so you just learned the expression to live for something now tell me what do you live for?
I will be correcting many of your examples your sentences down in the comments below. So pause this video real quick
Go to practice your English and then we'll get back into the lesson
I'm a Columbia educated lawyer Columbia educated
We can use the name of a university especially a famous one plus educated to create an adjective
Describing where someone received their degree. For example, I could say I am a University of Colorado educated teacher
Columbia is a famous private university in Manhattan poised to become
Poised to become a judge before age 35 poised to do something completely ready for something or to do something
Example that team is poised to win the championship and remind me remind someone of something
If something reminds you of something it makes you remember it example
Can you remind me what exactly the recipe for this dish is how did you celebrate?
How did you celebrate getting accepted into Columbia
You eat one eight pound block of fudge in 12 minutes, and you're marked for life
fudge a soft sweet American candy made by heating milk butter and sugar
Marked for something infamous or remembered in a negative way for something
Example, I feel like I've been marked for life from misunderstanding American during that meeting
Okay, you eat the bacon, you know, I can't I'm allergic. I'm out. We say this when we no longer want to participate in something
Allergic unable to eat something because it causes a negative reaction in your body. We can also say to have an allergy
Example I have an allergy to shellfish. Your bacon allergy is a lie your mother made up
So you'd eat healthy as a kid make up something. We haven't invented or fabricated an example
I made up an excuse for why I was late. No, I'm just allergic to a lot of stuff bacon doughnuts Halloween candy
Doughnut cake made from sweet dough that has been shaped in a ring and cooked in hot fat
Halloween candy
During the holiday of Halloween meaning I States children dress up in costumes and go to the houses in their neighborhood and ask for candy
Children need many sweets during this holiday. I don't even know if I'll like bacon. I'll like thank you. I
Don't even know if I'll like bacon
How could you mom how could you used to ask someone about something disappointing they did to you
Example you watch Game of Thrones without me. How could you think crisp it up real nice here. Don't they?
Crisp it up. Most people believe bacon tastes best when it is cooked until it is crispy that is slightly hard when you bite it
Marshall invented a phrasal verb to say it that they make the bacon good and crispy at this hotel
You know what you've been doing at it real hard
Going at it real hard. Take it easy
To go at something really hard is to do it in an intense way on the other hand to take it easy means to relax
Example you've been going at it hard with your training you better take it easy and rest before starting to exercise again
Why don't you take a breather and I'll Drive us home?
Take a breath to take a short period of time to rest and regain energy we can also use the term for either
Example guys, I'm exhausted. I need a breather before we continue the game. I'll Drive us home
Here Marshall does not mean to literally drive them home, but rather to finish the task
Example if you can get dinner started by chopping everything then I'll Drive us home by cooking it up
Her name is bacon, you know, just great. I wear my mom's LT sandwiches. This would go great on one of my mom's LT sandwiches
This refers to a famous sandwich in the USA called a BLT which stands for bacon lettuce and tomato
The joke here. Is that because Ted's mom told him that he was allergic to bacon
She just made him lettuce and tomato sandwiches, which we can imagine would be rather bland without the bacon
Lifetime the length of time that someone is live
At the farhampton Inn, we don't cook with grease our menu is organic farm-to-table locally grown no grease
Sir, I am from Minnesota where every meal is cooked with grease and my father dealt with that food the tastiest eats in the whole
