- In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the phrase, it's been a blast. I am Bob the Canadian, and I call myself Bob the Canadian, because I'm Bob and I'm Can, and I'm, and I'm Canadian. I just wanted to pretend I was you for a second.

- Who am I then?

- You're just some little small YouTuber named Brent.

- Oh yeah. I'm just, I'm Brent. So anyways, it's been a blast.

- Yeah, it's been a blast. And I would like to talk about my time here, as it's been a blast. That's another way to say you have had a lot of fun. We got a lot of work done.

- We did. We had fun.

- But when you're having fun, it doesn't feel like work.

- Exactly. Is there another phrase I should teach?

- Yes, but it's upside down.

- Or are you Bob? Let me see if I can do this. I also wanted to teach you the phrase, I had a blast! Which means the same thing as, it's been a blast, but we think it's used equally as much. So I would say the same thing. I had a blast or it's been a blast. Both work. It's been a fun two days. I think we maybe packed too much in to two days. Maybe we worked too much and we should have played more. Although, you know, if you only have two days to get stuff done, you might as well get stuff done. As I said to Brent earlier, you're going home at some point. Let's get as many things done for everyone out there as we possibly can, so.

- Can I teach a third phrase? This is the first time.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Yeah, you go.

- This has never been done before. Okay. And it has nothing to do with blast, but I don't want to overstay my welcome.

- Ah, yes.

- So if you overstay your welcome, that means you've been invited somewhere, but you stay longer than the host wants you to stay.

- Yeah. I do that to people sometimes.

- I don't wanna overstay my welcome. I wanna still get out while Bob likes me.

- Yeah and I do still like him. It's no problem. Should we review?

- Sure.

- So you're gonna do, it's been a blast.

- All right. We just learned it's been a blast. It's another way to say that you've had a lot of fun.

- And I did the phrase, I had a blast, which is just a kind of a more personal way to say that you had a lot of fun. So we had a blast. I had a blast. It's been a blast. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This is from two videos ago. So I'm gonna stand a little closer to Brent, 'cause the comment has to go on the screen somewhere, but he's gonna read it.

- Okay. Can I pretend I'm Bob the Canadian again?

- Yeah, go ahead.

- I'll say it with a Canadian accent, which is kind of like my accent. So this comment is from Mohd Ags, and he says, this lesson looked kind of familiar to me because Brent, my man, it's another way to say a good friend, Brent, my man, once did an English lesson at a used car lot. And I'm leaving this comment to thank him. But also I'm thinking ahead of time here, because I know you two are going to meet very soon.

- Yeah, so this is from a few days ago.

- So if you're planning on doing a
