Spoken English Features and What to Know

below on your phone. All right. So, let me lay out what this documentary is all about before we watch the first clip. So, you have this guy Vikram Gandhi who is the descendant of Indian immigrants, but he himself was born and raised in the state of New Jersey. Throughout his life, he's always been fascinated by religion. You know, from watching his grandmother prayer and just seeing this inner peace that it brought her. But at the same time, he is very skeptical. He's even cynical because he's seen that many people will actually use religion as a way to manipulate people either for a sense of ego, power, or to actually just make money off of them. So his idea was to impersonate a guru himself so that he

could really understand what motivates people to follow such figures. So although we'll see that Vikram takes on this character of an Indian guru, it's not to by any means make fun of India or Indians or Indian spiritual leaders. Rather it's because in the United States uh there was a lot of importation of Indian culture and wisdom from the east wisdom from India, China, Japan and so on to the point where people would see these things they'd automatically see yoga or meditation or anything like that and just believe that anyone who's teaching that must have this deep wisdom. There must be someone that you can completely trust in when that's not at all true. And as I said, there were a

lot of people who took advantage of that, who continue to take advantage of that to this day. So before even making this documentary, Vickrim himself, he traveled and he met different gurus in the United States and India. And like I said, he saw a lot of this sort of spiritual corruption. A lot of these so-called spiritual leaders that he met rather than actually trying to help people, they were making it all about themselves. But what he discovers about the type of people who seek out such gurus really shocks him. All right, Izzy. So, let's watch the first clip of the documentary where we see Vicram, who now goes by Kumare, starting to build a reputation for himself in the

city of Phoenix, Arizona. I wanted to try out my disguise in a more formalized setting. So, I got my friend to book my guru alter ego as a guest teacher at a local yoga studio. I created a series of madeup chants. and I taught nonsense rituals and yoga moves. I thought of that inner peace I found while sitting with my grandmother. Was that real?

Could people find the same peace from a madeup religion that they found in a real one? Could I really pull this off? I felt connected to you right away. Um, something about you. I was like, I don't know. Like I was like, I'll just follow him anywhere. This is the story of the biggest lie I've ever told and the greatest truth I've ever experienced. It's about the time I pretended to be a wise guru from the east and started a following of real people in the West. This is the story of Kumare. All right, so just let you guys know, we're only going to be talking about a few of the advanced expressions that we saw highlighted there in blue. Or if you

guys are listening on Spotify or Apple Podcast or any other platform, just a few of those advanced expressions that you heard there. Uh, but of course, if you're on the Real Life English app, then you're already seeing those highlighted there. You have vocab flashards for all the advanced expressions. And if there's anything else that we didn't highlight that you also didn't understand, of course you can just double tap on any words on the interactive transcript and get an instant definition. So Izzy, the first word we're going to look at here is alter ego. So kumare is Vicram's alter ego. What does that mean? It's like uh Mr. V. Like if you are Mr. V, Mr. Vocabulary, and you start to embody that and act slight slightly

differently, that's exactly an alter ego. But there are, I think, more examples in popular culture like pop culture like Eminem, Slim Shady, Bruce Wayne and Batman or Walter White in Heisenberg and uh Breaking Bad of course, right? And it's like I think it's about having that slight change in their personality that they feel like they are a different person too, right? It's not just about the name. Awesome. So, next he talks about people finding the same piece from a madeup religion that they found in a real one.

Could people find the same piece from a madeup religion that they found in a real one? Is a phrasal verb too. Like we can make something up, make up a story. And made up with the hyphen, like we can see here, a madeup religion. It's just like a fabricated religion. It's like fictitious, like a it doesn't exist. It's not followed by anyone, but somebody just decided to just create it. Uh like a fairy tale is a madeup story, right? Yeah. We often see that right with phrasal verbs that we'll add a hyphen to it and it changes from being a verb to being an adjective. All right, so next Vicram talks about being able to pull

this off. Being able to pull off pretending to be a wise guru from the east. Let's listen to that again. Could I really pull this off? Yeah, there we go. He says, uh, could I pull this off? Could I really pull this off? I was like, could I really succeed by doing this? But pull off is not just succeeding, right? It has um it adds more quality to that idea of succeeding. How would you differentiate just simply saying succeed and pull off? It's kind of like you maybe manage to do something difficult in a successful way. So for example, maybe you're a skateboarder and you do a really difficult trick. It's

like you pull it off. You were able to do that trick that many people didn't think you could do or many people aren't able to do. you were able to do it successfully. Or would we use it a lot too for fashion? You know, that maybe you're you're wearing something that's kind of outrageous or something that isn't so mainstream for fashion, but it's like, "Oh, man, that looks really good on you. You really pulled it off." Yeah. Or a haircut. Mhm. I always think that you're able to just pull off haircuts that normally I don't think I would, you know? So, yeah, you succeed in doing that and it's challenging.

Mhm. And I was going to point out too that like with most phrasal verbs, we have nice connected speech. So I mean you have like pull off that the L connects to the off. But also a lot of times we'll say like, "Oh, you really pulled it off or you really you can really pull it off." Uh that if we have like an it in the middle because it's between vowels, we get that American tea, right? The duh. So it's like pull it off. You can really pull it off. Nice. We saw it in made up too, right? Mhm. As a phrase, we're make up. Yeah. You could say like make it up. Like if you're like, "Oh, I don't know what I don't know." Both you and I, we've done improv, right? And it's like,

"Oh, I don't know what to say." It's like, "Make it up." Right. Make it up. Maybe we can watch the next scene, Izzy. And we can kind of see like how he's how things are starting to uh take roots in another sense, like how he's starting to be able to get more established as a guru in the city. and you know how he starts evolving his beliefs and began writing down the basics of a Kumare philosophy. As a guru, all I would teach people was that I was an illusion. But in order to find students I could teach this to, I needed to establish myself in the community. So I see myself in other people and people I know will look at myself and see what they want to see.

I met Guruji and I swear he's fresh out of the Himalayas. There's something about him that is truly unique. He's just a simple man. There's nothing um phony about him. The more students I met and classes I taught, the more it seemed the Kumari movement could take hold. My backstory was equally convoluted. That's why I asked where you from. I sayash this one from my mind. You have problem. Basically, I was just telling everybody I was fake. This whole thing like a show, right? Oh, this one. This guy in a dress looking this all show. This symbol is your religion symbol.

No, no, it's just Mickey Mouse. Then you come like this. So like this that one you don't have a uh you have proper inhale, exhale like that. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. I am the biggest faker that I know. I fake so much I forget who I was before. Just that like breathing exercises he has them doing there at the end. It's just like that. They look so insane. You can see like even like the eyes. It's like very they look very animal, right? Yeah. It's it's interesting to like you're saying it's uh documentaries like critical of uh those supposed leaders but also like people in general is like

a like think like observe what's happening around you is like think is this really does it really make sense this idea I'm following it's like a think about it like it helps like it gives you more conviction if it really if it is true right yeah just kind of just being thinking critically right is what we would call that critical thinking and Just like there is exactly this that the people they sort of put on like blinders, right? Like a horse that they see this guy and because of how he's dressed, because of the beard, the long hair and everything that they just assume like he has this wisdom that they don't have and they're not really like listening to what he's really saying because he said there

uh where are you from Ali? This one from my mind you have problem like this one from my mind. like he's saying literally that it's just a place that he invented. And if you actually look up that city, it doesn't exist. I don't know if like nowadays if people would be more uh investigating, you know, like, oh, curious where that city is. If he was wearing a suit, people would be like, okay, like that doesn't make any sense. But then it's just a looks, right? And he says it it's like I'll show it's our show. And it reminds me too of a book both you and I read that is called influence which is actually it's really interesting because it goes into the psychology that like many different companies and so use

like get us to buy things uh get us to like sign up and so on. And it reminded me of one of the principles of author is authority, right? And it they actually talk about this. They've done studies where people who are just like wearing a white lab coat or like doctor's coat, even if they're not a doctor, people are more likely to do what they say because they have this authority. And this is a very different kind of authority, right? like people see him with the robes and everything and the beard and the long hair and it's like it gives him the sense of spiritual authority even though he's completely making it up. Right? So let's get into some of the advanced expressions that we saw here. Right. So

let's check out what one of Kumare's followers said. I met Guruji and I swear he's fresh out of the Himalayas. Himalayas is a place right? It's like in somewhere close to China. I mean it's within China and Nepal that Mhm. Nepal India all the area where Mount Everest is and there all these cultures there with monks and different religions where you'd find uh monasteries uh churches right temples and some people go there to meditate I mean to what do you call that to to use to do spiritual awakening to do retreats maybe retreats that was the word I was looking for exactly. There's many famous people who have gone in kind of like exoduses to this region to like northern India or to Tibet, right? Like the

Beatles were really famous for doing that. Steve Jobs, many people like that. And so it's kind of that's also kind of built a culture at least in the United States of uh many of those countries being attached to like deep spirituality. Exactly. And then Kumare, this guy says, this new follower says that he looks like he's just fresh out of the Himalayas, meaning he just come from there. He just arrived from there. Mhm. And uh there's other expressions, there's other collocations that you can use fresh out of with like fresh out of college. So if you're hiring somebody who has no experience, so it's it's like they just stepped out of college and just graduated.

The first place you're coming to, just graduated. Exactly. And the connected speech like you just said it there and I think he used this also the follower Greg that it's not fresh out of but it's that American tea we saw before like fresh out of for sure. So it's nice for you all to practice your connected speech. So your speaking really only gets better if you use it right. So let's practice that again. Let's actually try it. Listen to how Greg said it and then you repeat it yourself. I met Guruji and I swear he's fresh out of the Himalayas. is freshly and we've been using some of these different words ourselves, Izzy. But like I one thing I really liked in this

clip is that we had so many different words for talk about that talk about what Vicram is doing of basically that he's pretending to be this other person. So we hear that actually one of this follower Greg says that there's nothing phony about him. He's just a simple man. There's nothing um phony about him. Uh but he's so honest that people buy the honesty and just maybe feel the honesty in his character somehow. I don't know what it is that convinces people so much there, but uh there are all these words, right? Phony show. What was the other one you said? Faker. He says he's the biggest faker he knows. So someone who fakes. This is nice too cuz people probably know fake like if you have like a real diamond and you have fake diamonds, right? But uh if

you use faker it's actually like from a verb like someone who fakes. So if you fake something like there's a expression that we really like to use right uh that comes from Amy Cuddy that's fake it till you make it. Fake it until you make it which basically means that sort of like if you pretend something like if you kind of pretend that you're a fluent English speaker at some point you'll get there you know by actually like doing the things that a fluent English speaker would do. Uh it also kind of like helps you to break out of the imposttor syndrome, right? So that's kind of like what a faker is. But there's other words we can use as well, right? Izzy like uh the like poser like someone who's a poser.

What's different about the connotation of poser? So I mean it's a synonym, right? But like what's the use of it? Izzy. Uh well, cuz we use that word in Portuguese, too. Like in English with my friends, we have that. We say like, "Oh, this person's a poser, right?" Mhm. So, as far as I know, it's like there's some like posturing involved like you are not just pretending to be a person, but like uh because that has some status that kind of goes with that. So, you're posing to be that person or that personality, right? Some examples might help. Like when I was in middle school, so when I was like an early adolescence, right? it was really popular to wear sort of like skater fashion and that was

like a total poser thing because like you're dressing like someone who skateboards even though you don't know how to skateboard like I went through a phase like that or uh there's something very similar people who live by the beach that there'd be people even like um I had like an uncle who lived in this community where there's a lot of surfers but they even invented this word called a hodad which is like a poser who has a surfboard and takes their surfboard puts it in the sand and just like sits there to like look like they're a surfer, like to impress other people, but it's it's like just total poser behavior.

Literally, they're just posing, right? Maybe even for a picture, which is the more literal application, like posing for a picture. Mhm. And there's related expressions that I don't think you'd exactly attach it to a person who is faking it, but maybe situations like bogus. This is bogus. I like it. I like this one. Right. Or sham. Mhm. Right. A sham is a person you could say they're full of it too. This person full of it. How would you use this expression? Full of it.

Yeah. So, so full of it will use it when someone is sort of talking about things that maybe they know nothing about or they're inventing on the spot. You be like, you're full of it. Like that there's no way what you're saying is true. So, it's kind of like to point out that someone is like faking or that they're making things up. They're not being completely honest. So, uh, you can use that maybe in a play playful way with like family or friends. Uh, but sometimes if you used it, you could use it sometimes to like be more critical, right? Like maybe a politician that you hear speaking who it's really clear that person's lying, you could be like, "Oh, he's full of it." Or maybe somebody who actually didn't

follow decided not to follow Kumare and didn't appear in the documentary, but they could be saying like, "I don't not going to follow that guy. He's full of it." Yeah. I don't buy it. Right. Meaning like I Mhm. There you go. Yes. And just to close, another uh another interesting expression because I think Americans are very creative about this type of vocabulary. Like pulling a fast one, like to fool somebody. Yeah. You're like trying to pull a fast one. Yeah. Exactly. Like you're It's like a scam too, right? that if you do a scam, it's it's like doing something oftentimes uh like to make money, for example, that you might be selling something that it seems like

it's a really great product, but it doesn't work or like selling uh something that looks like it's it's a name brand, but it's it's really, you know, it's really fake. So, that's kind of like a scam. Like, you don't want to fall for a scam. So, if someone pulls a fast one on you, maybe they make you fall for a scam. like many of those supposed spiritual leaders. Yeah. If they're like just trying to get money out of you or trying to use their power to manipulate you, then they're pulling a fast one on you.

Now, the opposite of all of this is being uh the real deal. It's another expression. If a person is the real deal, they are what they are. Uh they're transparent and also they maybe they're even like really skilled. That has that implies that too, right? That they are good at what they do. So, they're the real deal. All right. So we next up we have a really nice expression that fits perfectly for someone who is an impostor like Kumare is. So let's check that out. My backstory was equally convoluted. Yeah. He says my backstory was really convoluted. Right. Convoluted means like a confusing and complex and not easy to follow.

Back. Yeah. And backstory it's so funny. That's where he says that he was from a what is that? It's like a aliash. Alikash. Yeah. Yeah. It's a madeup location, right? It's a madeup place. And uh his backstory was all over the place. Like meaning it was like really confusing, like really convoluted. Uh now his backstory is his background like where he comes from the story before the story, right? So we're watching his documentary which tells the story, but things happened before that in his life that is his backstory.

Yeah. Or like the you have this often, right, in superhero comics like the backstory of how did Spider-Man become Spider-Man? Like he got bit by a radioactive spider. So that's the backstory of how he transformed into a superhero, right? Or like with Batman, Bruce Wayne, uh as a kid, his parents were murdered, mugged and murdered. So that's his backstory and what motivated him to be Batman. And it's the same thing here. Like usually the backstory was it's the motivation. is where we can see why what's happening now is happening now. All right, Izzy. So, next we're going to look at a few stories of some of his followers, which this really helps us to start seeing his transformation.

I used to drink a lot. I used to, you know, chase women. I used to do all sorts of things. Okay. On top of all that, I developed a cocaine habit. my life spiraled down. Okay. This one night, you know, I' I'd been up all night smoking crack and that morning she came back and she said, "Um, Greg, I'm leaving." And I said, "Okay. Um, I need to go get help." And so 6 years ago is when I got clean. And so then we had to repair our lives together. Took a while. And when we got married, the one thing we knew we were going to do is put God first. and helping others became the

most important thing. The most important thing just what you're doing right here by coming here and helping others. The most important thing you can do. Yeah. Was I helping anyone? Was I even capable of helping anyone? In many ways, Kumar was an ideal version of myself. So, if other people could create an ideal version of themselves, maybe they would become happier, too. So what are you are doing now in your life? You are doing what? I don't know. I'm like kind of stuck. I don't want to jump into a career. I don't want to put on a suit and go to work every day in an office and sit at a computer and type all day. That doesn't seem fun to me. I want to be able to,

you know, go with the flow. Change with the wind, you know. Go with the flow. Yeah. Change with the wind. Yeah. Okay. If you can imagine yourself as someone else that you feel is more true than your form now then you can make those two become one then you will not have a some feeling that I am not doing what I want you always feel is it right and that's some great philosophy right there like you can't deny it like what he's saying is even part of the things we teach here with the real life way. You were talking about fake till you make it. Maybe in a way Kumare or Vikram himself is faking until he's actually kind of realizes like actually I care about people, you know.

Mhm. I understand this more now. Yeah. I think the fact that he adopts this like character that causes people to be very open and vulnerable with him is what allows him to it causes like the shift in his mind in some sense of starting to see people in a in a different way where you know he could maybe beforehand that he was more skeptical of all these sorts of these kind of like cults or these followings and so on that he sort of shifts to have more empathy and I think just like starting to see like okay each of these people they're actually like they're not just crazy they're real people they have problems they're just like looking for help they're looking for guidance they're looking for how to have a better life

and it's I think it's it's what causes him to start to transform and like you said that he starts maybe not just saying that he's faking like uh trying to trick people but that he's created this character that could be an ideal version that he himself can aspire to live up to in his real life. Mhm. We live in a very big world with eight billion people and more and growing and there's so many different types of uh movements and religions and philosophies. But I think ultimately at least for me as I was saying I was talking about spirituality before and uh for me the definition of religion not in the sense of like organized religion like a particular movement but just the word itself from Latin I think is like fromare

which is like reconnect. So it's like you've lost something like you've lost touch with yourself like you're feeling disconnected from yourself or whatever you feel like you need to be more connected with and just reconnecting with that. So it's about perception. about realization and in that sense religion is that like at least if you look at the word now then there are institutions and groups even companies that monetize it and it's I'm I'm not judging it's like I just think uh it's like a concepts that need to be distinguished almost right and then philosophies permeates that is like a it exists in that realm and I think it's all the same it's all one for me I connect with this topic like I'm

explain explaining it right now. So I it gives me peace and I like it that way. It's simple. What do you mean by philosophy permeating religion? We can think about it literally first like a more concrete way. Imagine you're cooking like soup and the smell of that soup is just permeating the air. It's like a going to all places in your house in the room and it permeates the air. That's what it means. But then you can use it figuratively like a person's uh like example and the character kind of permeates the company with like their personal values and uh they start to become more influential. So it's permeating it's like you can see it

everywhere. People are starting to follow that person. So you can use it in different ways. I said that philosophy permeates uh religion because uh if you go into any religion there will be a particular philosophy and the philosophy I think is the more it's the interesting aspect of it is the wisdom there so he was sharing a lot of wisdom uh with that woman that lady and uh I think for me that there's truth in that if you reflect if you come with critical thinking you can find a lot of truth in that and it's kind of hard to separate uh religion and the concept in the my definition that I just used of religion and philosophy. It's almost like one.

It's reconnecting. Nice. So, the first story that we hear, this that same guy that we saw in the first clip, Greg, that he's sharing his backstory, which is that he had problems with drugs and alcohol, right? And he talks about how he kind of we'll also say like someone hits rock bottom. Um meaning like if you hit rock bottom, it's like you're in the lowest point of your life. But let's hear the expression that he used here. My life spiral down. Okay. Yeah. Spiral down. My life spiral down. A spiral is this. Like if you're watching if you're not watching uh imagine a tornado like it spirals, right? But uh if you're watching is just this movement here. So that's But if you

spiral down, you're doing this uh motion, but that you're also going uh downwards kind of like towards rock bottom. Right. And uh and the spiral here, I think the way I perceive it is like it adds a sense of u of confusing motion even like you're going different places and you're just having this journey down, right? It's not straight down, but like you're spiraling down. And then for example, a more a story that I already mentioned, Breaking Bad, Walter White. So that's one good example of a story that starts to spiral down or even spiral out of control that things start to happen and it's all over the place. I said that expression today already too and it's it's

convoluted and it's spiraling down. It's getting worse and worse. There's a domino effect. It's this noble effect. It's falling apart. All of these mean the same. All these expressions mean the same in this context that I'm using. It's just like a getting worse and worse. Mhm. Awesome. So we already mentioned this, right? About uh how he's kind of like faking it till he makes it. How he starts to seek Kumare Vikram like the real person starts to see Kumare as his ideal version. So let's listen to how he said that again. In many ways, Kumare was an ideal version of myself. So if other people could create an ideal version of themselves, maybe they would become happier too.

Yeah, ideal version. Nice. It's a almost like a collocation. You could also think about best self or a maybe like a better self and then you have this ideal version that this the best version of yourself or like this what we say at the beginning of each podcast, right? That using your English as the doorway to your greatest life. So it's could also say like using English as the doorway to your to become your ideal version. That's something that we want to help you to achieve here at Real Life English. Nice. Yeah. And it's self-development, right? when you talk about self-development and again it has a lot to do with all of this spirituality, religion, philosophy. Uh you are that's

a goal you're aiming at your best self and you want to get in touch with that what that is. It's funny that he said here he made up this personality Kumade and he realized that in a lot of ways that personality was his best self was his vision of what he could be. His full potential was Kumady in some ways, right? The transparency in a funny way, right? Because he's being transparent and kind of being a figure at the same time. But it was nice. Maybe he was born to be a guide. Maybe he was born to be a leader and he didn't know and that was his first attempt. Uh, and it worked. And Izzy, we even have here a value at Real Life English. So, like one of our team's values for everyone that works

here is to bring your best self, which means we've talked about this also in other episodes, right? But that we really believe in like doing the things every day that help you to feel like this ideal version of yourself. So, it's usually like things like, well, I have like back here like seven habits of highly effective people. He calls it sharpen the saw and it has like doing something for your mind, doing something for your body, doing something for your uh like spiritual self and doing something that helps you to have like the social kind of like charging your social batteries but like in a positive way spending people spending time around people who like really help you to feel your best. So that's

something that if you can start like building habits like that morning routine that you have that brings all those things it's like your life changes substantially. All right, let's move on to I believe uh this other follower that we saw. Her name is Molly if I'm not mistaken. And she uses a couple expressions here that she just wants to like go with the flow, change with the wind. Let's listen again to what she said there. I don't want to put on a suit and go to work every day in an office and sit at a computer and type all day. That doesn't seem fun to me. I want to be able to, you know, go with the flow, change the wind, you know.

So is he this I have like a personal relationship with this expression go with the flow. I don't know if it's if it's I have mixed feelings maybe about it because when I was young I remember I was a very like willful child. Uh this is something that my parents always told me. I was a very willful childh. And my brother what is that by the way was okay. Yeah. If you're very willful, it's like you have a strong desire to get what you want or, you know, like to not change your mind, for example, which it's kind of like stubborn, but I think stubborn has more of a negative connotation. Willful is a bit more positive. But my brother was kind of the opposite. And so he'd always just say like, you

know, why can't you just go with the flow? Just go with the flow. Meaning, and this just like kind of means like, you know, um maybe everyone doesn't want to do what you want to do. So, it's like, you know, just go along. Just go along. Uh, which I think there's a time and a place for that. I think sometimes that's good, but I think that there's times where like you need to know yourself what you want and not let other people decide for you, right? But she's using it maybe like a little bit different, like go with the flow, change with the wind. That maybe she's it's kind of like wanting to tap into the energy of the universe and kind of like find where she belongs. I think she

she's using it maybe more in that sort of way. Yeah. And I like that. Well, I felt like I needed to go with the flow more in the past. Uh do you remember when we started taking improv classes? Mhm. You there in Barcelona and here in Brazil and Sure. Uh that was one of the things that we were talking more about is like man like it we need to learn more how to do this how to go with the flow all those ideas like yes and right that's literally like going with the flow like you're not creating blocks exactly this is like a uh the universe or the world or your partner in an improv situation or any situation proposes something or goes a certain direction and you go

with them and if you want to change direction maybe then you can propose it's like they say, "Let's go eat pizza." And you say, "Yes." And it could be pineapple pizza. Right. You don't say no. And then and if they want to act like the flow, they're not going to say Exactly. They're not going to say no. You know, go with the flow. It's like Yes. And you can get it pieces. We can get a pineapple one or we can get one that has normal ingredients. Exactly. And you end up spending a lot of money. But uh change with the wind to go with the flow. Yeah. Exactly that. Amazing. Okay, Izzy. So, we're going to dig into some more scenes and like philosophize a little bit more. We

talked about philosophy, philosophize a bit more with some of the ideas from this documentary. But first, I wanted us to just take a moment to share some gratitude that we have for one of our followers and app users who left a five-star review for us in the Apple Store. A So, this one comes from Momo. I think that's how I should read it. We struggle here a bit with names because there's so many cultures, right? so many types of uh like languages. Anyway, so Momo. Yeah. And I said this, this app is the greatest app so far in the Apple Store. I can assure you and recommend with full certainty. You'll find it different from any app you've ever tried. And as short as 5 to 10 minutes

daily, you see the best outcome you could ever dream of. And if you have more time, I highly recommend you go through more time daily and you see for yourself like this is not yourself speaking. You'll move to another level with no doubt. And don't take my word for it when I say that this app is the only app you need and you can trust. You got to try it for yourself and see.
