Gotten/Got is the 3rd form or past participle form of the verb Got. But in modern Brit English they use got. As they are indigenous English speakers, I guess they have the liberty to say whatever they want. 🤣
FUN FACT : My Granny and Grandad Spoke with the older version of the Accent Received Pronunciation (Proper name Conservative RP or The Queen’s English) probably because they watched a lot of programmes on The British-Royal-Family . Now my mum and stepdad speak English with the traditional RP (which I don’t speak with anymore ) for example I was already talking by 1 Year old and when I started speaking I learned the accent which my parents spoke . When I was around the age of 4-11 years I spoke like my parents until I was around 10 years old . However when I got to around the age of 11 to 13 I started speaking in Contemporary R.P then as I got older from the age of 14 - 17 years old I spoke English with a Cockney-Accent. Another strange thing is that most of the people at my secondary school spoke with The Royals accent Now I go to College 2 days a week and Work 3 days a week most people at my College and Workplace almost sound MLE like they speak with Multicultural London English so now as a young-adult I’m getting used to that accent .
This taught me that standard American English or Midwestern English is essentially equivalent to RP, without the intonation or sing-songy aspects. We always hit and pronounce the hard T we would never replace that with a CH sound, and would never change an L to a W sound. Unlike most Americans we pronounce the L in walk talk caulk, golf, wolf, and there's a difference in how WH is pronounced then a W by itself like "wheat" versus "went" or "which" versus "witch" (There was an episode with Stewie from the Family Guy pronouncing the WH and being teased by Brian, and in the midwest that joke didn't land because we were taught to enunciate wh different than just W. Kind of with a whoosh.) So in this region particularly we were taught diction and pronunciation pretty heavily and Importance of being distinct and pronouncing words clearly was definitely a thing and reinforced by family and friends. We do of course include pronouncing the R and G at the end of words (parkING a caR would never be said "parkin' a cah" or worse, "pahkin' ah cah") which would be one difference from English RP. We don't drop consonants, they all deserve pronunciation! ;) Also there is a difference between caught and cot, pen and pin, and walk and wok. Also a tad more nasal, a bit more monotone and you have your standard American English or Midwestern English, "American RP" as compared to British English RP. This is the version of English taught to actors to rid themselves of their Regional accents, like Jennifer Aniston of Georgia did. I guess I was just lucky to grow up where it is the standard manner of speech so there is no training required later in life. Supposedly it is the accent that can be most easily understood by all Americans specifically, and most English speakers more generally because it is less accented and the letters are more clearly enunciated. This is the accents that is most often used by news presenters and on television and movies unless it is meant to be set in someplace with a discernible Regional accent. I find it much easier to understand many British- English RP speakers than some fellow Americans' accent, particularly in the Deep South with their rich drawls and in the Northeast part of the country where rather gruff urban brogues are common even among the upper classes. Preciseness was always stressed, and I have been in places where I could hear someone speaking in a group and I can immediately tell by there kind of pointed and enunciated speech that they were from near where I grew up. And hilariously, at one of my work places I was accused of speaking like Shakespeare even though I have none of the britishness of the accent other than the pronunciation, and that really put me off, feeling that I'm only speaking properly because I'm talking to a group, I'm not affecting an accent is unnatural to me or in any way sounding English in my mind. So not Posh in any way just pronouncing the words clearly and it's important to some people that sounds somehow like elevated English literature.
i subscribed to Lucy when she only had 18K subscribers. i subscribed to J&L when they had only 3K subscribers. both are always my fav english go-to channel (with HmmEnglish) now here we are 🖤
I really love you guys. Yyou makes me smile and laugh with you! Since the January 1st 2018 I've decided that I'm going to work on my english vocabulary everyday, at least for a whole year. Since then I have been following you and watching your videos. It helps me a lot, thanks, (also your channel Lucy). Let me know if you are in Oslo one day. I could be your personal guide. Warm regards Marius Tveit, Oslo / Norway.
I say Tjuzday, or Chjuzday, but when I first started teaching to middle school aged kids, they laughed at me for the /j/ sound. They say Toozday. And another thing, for the word mirror, I say Meer-er, people older than me say, meer-ror, and those kids younger than me, they make it one syllable and say Meer. So interesting how language changes in each generation. Same with the word women. Woomen, wi-men. wi-min. Seems like there is another vowel shift going on at least in American English. Do you see the same things going on with the same words in the UK's different accents?
I'm quite glad you brought up the thing with the l-vocalisation, because I've been doing it for a long time myself. Probably picked it up from channels like yours, but if you read about it on the internet it's supposed to be a feature of like cockney or the philly accent. And I'm like wait, I've heard a lot of people doing it, is this just my imagination? So nice to have this 'confirmed' now? So I know I'm not being the odd one out here :D Much love to the three of you and cheers from Germany :)
This really helped me with my accent-of-the-month video. Would love to get your input on the result! Video is titled "Audiobook Narrator Matt Haynes tackles The Contemporary British RP Accent". I modeled my delivery on Joel's voice.
Only recently started watching you guys but you are so funny and great to watch! I’ve really learned a lot about British culture and language so I appreciate that. Keep making videos :)
Loved this. I would love to hear how words like February, jewelry, and coupon are pronounced in different regions. Here we have a variety of accents, but I think some sound more like speech impediments lol
The most important aspect of speech is to be understood. I must admit that I pronounce Tuesday as "tyoos-day" and not "choos-day", also tissue as "tiss-yoo" and not "tish-yoo".
Great! L vocalization was all I needed to know because this feature exists in my first language that is Brazilian Portuguese. So when I speak English I can't produce the dark L properly and I end up pronouncing it like a W. Knowing that is the modern way makes me happy. Cheers!
Hey Joel and Lia! Hey Lucy! I’ve just got one question about the modern RP, do you guys use intrusive “r” when using modern RP? I think this is the most challenging thing in the British pronunciation, thanks in advance!
I'm very surprised to learn about the vocalisation of the L in English! It happens the same in Brazilian Portuguese whereas in Portugal they never vocalise it.
One big thing i notice British people say that Americans don't is "Have you got..." For example, Lucy said "Have you got a cat." To us (or me at least) it sounds strange - almost like it's improper. We would say "Do you have..."
Is modern RP only heard in the South-East of England? I'm sceptical that in other parts of the country you would find L-vocalisation in the accents of RP speakers.
RP (and modern RP) is a regionless accent meaning you can find them everywhere. However it does tend to be seen as a more south of England accent. But you can absolutely find modern RP speakers up north!
I was waiting for this collab , amazing people when they join forces .... And laugh lol , thanks for the video , well appreciated , BTW I also always had a problem with "dozen" , "fortnight" , and also "the other night/day " , they just don't match with my brain "logic" lol , so there you go , #TeamJoel ..
I wasn't sure what "RP" stood for, and thought perhaps it meant "Royal Pronunciation" as in the Queen's English! Eventually I saw it was "Received Pronunciation" so I guess, being proper English from the Queen, I was correct in a round about way. Silly colonist.
I am not native speaker and I have noticed the L-vocalisation when Alfie Deyes (a youtuber) speaks. I thought it had something to do with his accent but this video explains a lot. Edit: Now that I have watched the whole video, I can definitely say he speaks in a modern rp accent 😁
The modern RP kinnda sounds american. Not a brit but just wanna say I really love the traditional RP-the kind David attenborough or Stephen Fry speak in.
This video is really helpful, not just about learning English, more important thing is British culture. Really love it, keep it up!!! By the way, I have a question, What does ' dude' word actually mean? Could you help me, please?
Aw thank you! 'dude' is an affectionate, informal term usually used to describe a friend. Traditionally it's used to describe a male, but females can be dudes too.
question-why do y’all use whatsapp? i’ve heard you reference it several times. here in the US, people really only use it to talk to someone who’s out of the country. just curious. love your videos! “x”
In modern RP would they say "fink" or "think"? My annoyance is my British accent is pretty damn good but British ppl always say it sounds like Southern London and when I hear southern London accent it's crazy it's all dipped and with that "jafaican" thing going on that's not how I sound! After my research I definitely feel I'm more of a modern RP 🙄 I truly feel they say "southern London" because I'm not white smh and thats what really does me in smh.
Definitely the latter, /θɪŋk/. Saying it with an F is a Cockney feature, so rather than a racial comment, I think they might be calling you a chav at worst, probably not even that. Also, take into account that RP is a sociolect (i.e. not regional): You should not be able to tell where an RP speaker is from geographically. Accent-wise, the middle group between a local London accent and RP is 'Estuary English' (the UA-camr 'British Native Speaker' speaks in this accent), which is modern RP with Cockney elements, namely all the ones mentioned in this video + some additional features that do not exist in any form of RP: - H-dropping in sentences such as 'Where is he?" or "Her phone is in her handbag' - Intrusive R (the idea‿r‿of; Law‿r‿and order; China‿r‿and India) - Occasionally, glottal stops when the T is in a middle position, namely in words such as 'bottle', 'little', 'water', or even 'British'. Personally, I used to think I was an RP speaker but I do most of these so I guess I'm not. However, I don't drop the L in words like 'wall' or 'table', so I've no flipping idea what my accent is. PS: What does 'dipped' mean? Isn't that roadman slang for being stabbed?
More contemporary pronunciation is increasing the divergence between the written and spoken forms of English. It's (might be) all very well for a native speaker, except for when he has to learn his spelling in primary school, but for a learner of English it's an endless source of confusion.
Aaaaaaaaaah FIRST!!! hahaha guys it was so much fun to have you over
Hahaha number one fan! Thanks so much for having us! We’ll be back once you’ve gotten your puppy x
+Being British: Joel & Lia why have you used gotten form? and what is that mean? I don't understand it.
Gotten/Got is the 3rd form or past participle form of the verb Got.
But in modern Brit English they use got. As they are indigenous English speakers, I guess they have the liberty to say whatever they want. 🤣
English with Lucy RP= Received pronunciation?
You forgot the how the older RP speakers say "reallé" "sorré" "communité".
My fav three people together ❤️😍
Aw thanks!
Oh, God. I can't believe that two (actually three) my super fave UA-camrs in a video. Loveeedd it so muchhhh!!!
Hahaha aw thank you! ❤️
To my ears, modern RP sounds less posh the older RP.
Yep, it's definitely slightly less 'posh' which is why lots of older RP speakers look down on it
yes, I prefer the posher RP.
Because it is
Definitely starting to sound more Essex!
FUN FACT :
My Granny and Grandad Spoke with the older version of the Accent Received Pronunciation (Proper name Conservative RP or The Queen’s English) probably because they watched a lot of programmes on The British-Royal-Family .
Now my mum and stepdad speak English with the traditional RP (which I don’t speak with anymore ) for example I was already talking by 1 Year old and when I started speaking I learned the accent which my parents spoke . When I was around the age of 4-11 years I spoke like my parents until I was around 10 years old .

Another strange thing is that most of the people at my secondary school spoke with The Royals accent
Now I go to College 2 days a week and Work 3 days a week most people at my College and Workplace almost sound MLE like they speak with Multicultural London English so now as a young-adult I’m getting used to that accent .
What a wonderful collab! Really appreciated and helpful. Thanks so much for all your efforts. Love and cheers! 👍💗😘🇬🇧
Thanks Tek! Had a few technical issues with the sound. But glad you liked it!
As an American, I think RP's consonant pronunciation sounds more correct than modern RP's.
LITERALLY: I COULD NOT STOP SMILING! YOU THREE ARE GORGEOUS I LOVE YOU!
This taught me that standard American English or Midwestern English is essentially equivalent to RP, without the intonation or sing-songy aspects. We always hit and pronounce the hard T we would never replace that with a CH sound, and would never change an L to a W sound. Unlike most Americans we pronounce the L in walk talk caulk, golf, wolf, and there's a difference in how WH is pronounced then a W by itself like "wheat" versus "went" or "which" versus "witch" (There was an episode with Stewie from the Family Guy pronouncing the WH and being teased by Brian, and in the midwest that joke didn't land because we were taught to enunciate wh different than just W. Kind of with a whoosh.)
So in this region particularly we were taught diction and pronunciation pretty heavily and Importance of being distinct and pronouncing words clearly was definitely a thing and reinforced by family and friends.
We do of course include pronouncing the R and G at the end of words (parkING a caR would never be said "parkin' a cah" or worse, "pahkin' ah cah") which would be one difference from English RP.
We don't drop consonants, they all deserve pronunciation! ;)
Also there is a difference between caught and cot, pen and pin, and walk and wok.
Also a tad more nasal, a bit more monotone and you have your standard American English or Midwestern English, "American RP" as compared to British English RP.
This is the version of English taught to actors to rid themselves of their Regional accents, like Jennifer Aniston of Georgia did. I guess I was just lucky to grow up where it is the standard manner of speech so there is no training required later in life. Supposedly it is the accent that can be most easily understood by all Americans specifically, and most English speakers more generally because it is less accented and the letters are more clearly enunciated.

I find it much easier to understand many British- English RP speakers than some fellow Americans' accent, particularly in the Deep South with their rich drawls and in the Northeast part of the country where rather gruff urban brogues are common even among the upper classes.
Preciseness was always stressed, and I have been in places where I could hear someone speaking in a group and I can immediately tell by there kind of pointed and enunciated speech that they were from near where I grew up. And hilariously, at one of my work places I was accused of speaking like Shakespeare even though I have none of the britishness of the accent other than the pronunciation, and that really put me off, feeling that I'm only speaking properly because I'm talking to a group, I'm not affecting an accent is unnatural to me or in any way sounding English in my mind. So not Posh in any way just pronouncing the words clearly and it's important to some people that sounds somehow like elevated English literature.
This video is one of my favourites😍 Love seeing my favourites youtubers together ❤️
Aw thank you! We had so much fun! ❤️
i subscribed to Lucy when she only had 18K subscribers.
i subscribed to J&L when they had only 3K subscribers.
both are always my fav english go-to channel (with HmmEnglish)
now here we are 🖤
You've been here from the start
I love the 3 Modern RP Accent collab with English with Lucy, thank you, Joel and Lia!! 🇬🇧😍
haha, thank you Barbie!
No way!! 😁😁😁 I was just waiting for that to happen. You guys have my two favorite channels, to learn British accent. I’m very happy to see that.
Haha aw thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
I love modern RP, because it sounds more like the people speak in public, instead of traditional RP or the Queen‘s English.
Watching from America. Of course I couldn't hear the difference between them, but still adore Joel and Lia. They're just so much fun to watch.
Haha they’re sooo subtle! Glad you still liked it!
My favourite 3 youtubers together! 😊❤️
This was so much fun. 😍 You and Lucy should collaborate more often.
Maybe we will!
I really love you guys. Yyou makes me smile and laugh with you! Since the January 1st 2018 I've decided that I'm going to work on my english vocabulary everyday, at least for a whole year.

This really helped me with my accent-of-the-month video. Would love to get your input on the result! Video is titled "Audiobook Narrator Matt Haynes tackles The Contemporary British RP Accent". I modeled my delivery on Joel's voice.
Three of my favourite youtubers, was lovely to see you all together.
🙌🎉 29k+ subscribers! Congrats! You guys are on a roll! So amazing! Thanks for all you do. L&C
It's getting out of hand now! haha
Well, modern RP sounds like RP with subtle London-accent elements (the "L"s, glottalisations etc)
Only recently started watching you guys but you are so funny and great to watch! I’ve really learned a lot about British culture and language so I appreciate that. Keep making videos :)
Thanks Heather! So glad you enjoy watching!
*JOEL YOU SO LUCKY TO BE IN COMPANY OF SUCH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!*
I know! Very lucky! 🤗
Wowww Lucy you are in there with Joel and Lia love this group bcoz I watch both the channels without missing my favourite guys are together
Loved this. I would love to hear how words like February, jewelry, and coupon are pronounced in different regions. Here we have a variety of accents, but I think some sound more like speech impediments lol
I'm thinking which versión to choose, american ( Standard) or british ( Received Pronunciation) , what do you recommend me ?
Terrific video, very grateful for that! Love seeing my fav UA-cam teachers together :)
Aw thank you!
The most important aspect of speech is to be understood. I must admit that I pronounce Tuesday as "tyoos-day" and not "choos-day", also tissue as "tiss-yoo" and not "tish-yoo".
My three favorite UA-camrs ever!!!
Could you suggest some contemporary RP shows?
Great! L vocalization was all I needed to know because this feature exists in my first language that is Brazilian Portuguese. So when I speak English I can't produce the dark L properly and I end up pronouncing it like a W. Knowing that is the modern way makes me happy. Cheers!
The new RP sounds more like American English
Yeah it does slightly. That could be one reason for the change - with all the exposure we have to American accents
Being British: Joel & Lia
Uh-oh, better stop while you still sound posh!!
Just promise me you'll never say "y'all"!
I agree.
like australian
@@billievanderpol to be fair, Australian accents are an American/British hybrid.
Hey Joel and Lia! Hey Lucy! I’ve just got one question about the modern RP, do you guys use intrusive “r” when using modern RP? I think this is the most challenging thing in the British pronunciation, thanks in advance!
I'm very surprised to learn about the vocalisation of the L in English! It happens the same in Brazilian Portuguese whereas in Portugal they never vocalise it.
I love watching u guys! I love linguistics!
Thank you! I do too!! haha
Hi to all 3 of you. How do you say "February" in modern RP? Is it different is heightened RP? Americans pronounce it like "Febyooary".
U guys just reminded me how way off and thick my NY pronunciation is. I guess I'm not more aware of my pronunciation. Many consider mine lower class.
yes!! i was looking for something exactly like this! so helpful :)
How can I learn this nice accent? Do you know people on UA-cam (beside Joel & Lia) that are speaking Modern RP?
The modern (RP) pronunciations of "Tuesday", "shelf", "quite easy" and "graduate" sound like the way speakers of Singapore English pronounce them.
Ah that's interesting to know!
It sounds like there are a lot more glottal stops in the "Modern RP" American pronunciation sounds like a mixture of "Conservative RP" and "Modern RP"
🎉🙌!!!30000!!!🙌🎉 Just amazing! Guys you're on fire! So happy for you. Keep it coming! Now, where did I put that prosecco... 😁🍷 L&C 👌💗😘🇬🇧
Both of my faves together!!! 😍
So true!
yay!
What a video, so interesting and amusing video. I'm going to subscribe, I like the way Joel and Lia speak, they will be my speaking archetype.
What if you sometimes do a combination of contemporary and traditional RP?? Does it make you seem particularly weird?
Traditional is by far the best
You guys are amazing .. Specially Lucy.
Ohhhh God bless you guys for making this vid on rp accent. Very helpful. Thank you!!! Cheers from tango land. 😉
Glad you like it!
I'd love to be sitting there with you guys as we passed around a joint, sipping our wine or Prosecco, and just laughed our asses off.
I wonder if the "L-vocalization" came from the American influences; it's such a strong American-English trait.
it was huge interesting information, thanks a lot. waiting for more details about modern accents way of pronouncing in Britain.
Aw thank you!
Omg you guys .. it’s like dream coming true.
Is yod coalescence a form of palatalization?
One big thing i notice British people say that Americans don't is "Have you got..." For example, Lucy said "Have you got a cat." To us (or me at least) it sounds strange - almost like it's improper. We would say "Do you have..."
Ah that's interesting! Wonder why that is!
Love you guys!
Do british people say "day" like "die"? I think I've heard it, it sounds weird to me. Hugs from a fan from Spain!
No I think that Australian tho hahah
So try to imagine how discombobulated we not native English speakers may be every time we try to conform to the different English accents.
Yep! Must be so hard!
7:27 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I died
Conservative RP is by far better than Modern RP in my opinion
Is modern RP only heard in the South-East of England? I'm sceptical that in other parts of the country you would find L-vocalisation in the accents of RP speakers.
RP (and modern RP) is a regionless accent meaning you can find them everywhere. However it does tend to be seen as a more south of England accent. But you can absolutely find modern RP speakers up north!
1:20 straight to the 1st tip
Hey, for newcomers to watching your videos, I didn't know what "RP" was...I had to google it...maybe add an explanation in the description? :)
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 love the videos I’ve been binge watching them this week. I have a question about British slang: what does “What YOU sayin’” mean?
Inge Lauw it means "what you mean"
Henry Unuigbe Thank you 🙂
Oh wow, great collab. I notice about Tuesday "ch" sound. Love ❤ you Joel, Lucy and Lia ❤😊
Thank you Ibrahim!
Being British: Joel & Lia you're welcome : )
I was waiting for this collab , amazing people when they join forces .... And laugh lol , thanks for the video , well appreciated , BTW I also always had a problem with "dozen" , "fortnight" , and also "the other night/day " , they just don't match with my brain "logic" lol , so there you go , #TeamJoel ..
yay! Not the only one then!
could you give me some podcast with modern rp accent? thanks in advance
You should each wear a microphone for clarity. The room microphone makes conversational listening difficult.
WHY IS ENGLISH WITH LUCIFER SO DAMN AWKWARD!!!????
What does RP stand for
Robert Perham Received Pronounciation
I wasn't sure what "RP" stood for, and thought perhaps it meant "Royal Pronunciation" as in the Queen's English! Eventually I saw it was "Received Pronunciation" so I guess, being proper English from the Queen, I was correct in a round about way. Silly colonist.
I am not native speaker and I have noticed the L-vocalisation when Alfie Deyes (a youtuber) speaks. I thought it had something to do with his accent but this video explains a lot.
Edit: Now that I have watched the whole video, I can definitely say he speaks in a modern rp accent 😁
Yep! You're a pro now!
The modern RP kinnda sounds american. Not a brit but just wanna say I really love the traditional RP-the kind David attenborough or Stephen Fry speak in.
LUUUUCY!!!! I LOVE HER!!! CONGRATS MATES
She's lovely!
This video is really helpful, not just about learning English, more important thing is British culture. Really love it, keep it up!!!
By the way, I have a question, What does ' dude' word actually mean? Could you help me, please?
Aw thank you! 'dude' is an affectionate, informal term usually used to describe a friend. Traditionally it's used to describe a male, but females can be dudes too.
:) Hey guys! Great job!
But what did you do with Lucy? She wasn't like she, really.:)
I love this channel, thanks for the lovely and useful videos! Personally, I'm a fan of a conservative RP but my friends keep laughing at me hahaha
Thanks Khaled! You're welcome!
beautiful people,i enjoyed it a lot!
Wasn't RP an artificial versus an indinginous accent?
question-why do y’all use whatsapp? i’ve heard you reference it several times. here in the US, people really only use it to talk to someone who’s out of the country. just curious. love your videos! “x”
Hail from Brazil! I like your accent.
Hello! Thank you!
Are you two linguistic students/majors? Thanks :)
Lucy seemed to be a bit tense, isn't she.
Not at all!
I thought so too. Still a lively video though. Love their channel
so, what is the type of your accent ?
In modern RP would they say "fink" or "think"? My annoyance is my British accent is pretty damn good but British ppl always say it sounds like Southern London and when I hear southern London accent it's crazy it's all dipped and with that "jafaican" thing going on that's not how I sound! After my research I definitely feel I'm more of a modern RP 🙄 I truly feel they say "southern London" because I'm not white smh and thats what really does me in smh.
Definitely the latter, /θɪŋk/. Saying it with an F is a Cockney feature, so rather than a racial comment, I think they might be calling you a chav at worst, probably not even that. Also, take into account that RP is a sociolect (i.e. not regional): You should not be able to tell where an RP speaker is from geographically.

- H-dropping in sentences such as 'Where is he?" or "Her phone is in her handbag'
- Intrusive R (the idea‿r‿of; Law‿r‿and order; China‿r‿and India)
- Occasionally, glottal stops when the T is in a middle position, namely in words such as 'bottle', 'little', 'water', or even 'British'.
Personally, I used to think I was an RP speaker but I do most of these so I guess I'm not. However, I don't drop the L in words like 'wall' or 'table', so I've no flipping idea what my accent is.
PS: What does 'dipped' mean? Isn't that roadman slang for being stabbed?
Haha!!😂You guys are funny!!
So, is 'a tube of toothpaste' pronounced 'a choob of choothpaste'?
LaTasha Strahan In Modern RP, yes.
Joelandlia seems like the name of a place, like australia, mongolia, somalia
haha, we'd make a great country
English With Lolly! She should definitely change the name of her channel! By the way Joel, you're so gorgeous!
Thank you much ! I like you !
I like Lucy's accent
Ladies....... YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I don't even know what RP is haha but I still watched the whole video.
haha well hopefully now you know!
three gorgeous human being
More contemporary pronunciation is increasing the divergence between the written and spoken forms of English. It's (might be) all very well for a native speaker, except for when he has to learn his spelling in primary school, but for a learner of English it's an endless source of confusion.
OMG I love three of you
Thanks Arthur
Amazing! Please do more videos together! Hahaha
