Coach Shane here.
How you doing?
I will try not to do today's expression.
I promise I'll do my best.
As long as you join my community, which is free, as of today anyway.
Do you know the community?

Let's go back in time.
Today's expression, I like it.
To talk a mile a minute.
My goodness, that man talks a mile a minute.
She can talk a mile a minute.
He talked a mile a minute.
This is a good expression.
To talk, T-A-L-K, talk, a mile, M-I-L-E, a, the letter A, minute.
A mile a minute.
Now, if you're driving a mile a minute, that means you are going 1.6 kilometers every minute.
If you're driving a mile a minute.
If you are talking a mile a minute, what does that mean?
So think about that.
Wait, let's go back.
Driving a mile a minute.
Is that fast?
Well, a mile a minute is about 100 kilometers an hour.
So if you're driving, that's kind of normal.
That's a normal speed on a big road.
So 100 miles per hour is about 60 miles per hour.
Per hour, 60 minutes in one hour, so a mile a minute.
So that's pretty fast.
I mean, can you imagine walking a mile a minute?
Running a mile a minute?
That's like Superman speed.
Talking a mile a minute is really fast.
It's like talking... Oh my God, you wouldn't believe the other day I went over to this... That is talking a mile a minute.
Can you talk...
A mile a minute.
Some people are really fast talkers.
It's amazing.
Some people are super fast when they talk.
Me?
No.
I would say I'm normal.
I'm not too slow, but I'm not that fast either.
I'm a normal talker, but some people, my goodness, talk a mile a minute.
Let's find out who after you check out the dialogue.
Did you understand anything he said?
No.
He talks a mile a minute.
He should be a sports announcer.
Yeah, he'd be perfect for the World Cup.
Bingo.
Sports announcers.
Those guys can speak a mile a minute.
They can talk a mile a minute.
What about the guy at the auction, the auction house?
Do you know what an auction is?
When they sell an expensive painting to
And this painting here is for $100.
$100 for this painting here.
And the man in the blue wants $110.
Do I hear $110, $115, $115 going?
What's going on?
And over there we got $120.
Those auction guys, we call them auctioneers.
A-U-C-T-I-O-N-E-E-R and auctioneer.
Those auctioneers, men and women, they talk a mile a minute.
Sports announcers, no.
Those guys can talk a mile a minute.
They can talk and talk and talk and they never breathe.
Somehow they don't have to breathe and they just keep going and going and going nonstop.
And it's impossible to talk to them.
It's really difficult to really understand them.
But once again, at an auction, they're perfect.
Talking about a sports game, they're excellent.
But as your husband or your wife, oh boy, I don't know.
