Aubrey Carter 1:31

Hey there, Aubrey. What are you doing this weekend?

Lindsay McMahon 1:33

Well, I haven't been to the movies in ages. So whatever happens, I want to see a movie.

Aubrey Carter 1:39

Oh, I just went to the movies on Friday. Oh, what'd you see? I saw that movie Send Help. Oh, I haven't even heard of it. It was interesting. It was a little crazy. Would not recommend. Zero stars. No. I feel like there are not a ton of great movies out right now.

Lindsay McMahon 1:55

I, you know, there's a new one, but you know, by the time this comes out, it'll be old anyway. But yeah, yeah, it's true. We're having a bit of a drought on like amazing movies that are worth going to the theater for.

Aubrey Carter 2:07

I'm like, I can wait for streaming. But I love going to the theater, so I'll go to an average movie just to go to the theater. Same.

Lindsay McMahon 2:15

I agree. Well, this episode today, you'll notice I said, whatever happens, I want to see a movie. We're talking about that phrase and some other ways to say that. And this was inspired by something one of our students, Jennifer, posted in the um she said you are safe happen to happen and then she said in spanish it's pase lo que pase she said how do you say this in english i'm like that's going to be a great episode yeah yeah i'm so excited to get into this and kind of what it means what it means for connection

Aubrey Carter 2:48

But first, we have to take a minute to recognize and call out those that went and left us a review or a rating. Wherever you listen today, we're looking at our Spotify listeners, right? So first of all, Tony Sousa said, Hi, Lindsay and Michelle. My name is Tony Sousa. I'm from Angola. Without a doubt, discovering your podcast has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I've learned so much from you both. That is amazing.

Lindsay McMahon 3:12

That is amazing. Thank you, Tony, and everyone else who has left these amazing comments on Spotify. We read them. They make our day. We really appreciate it.

Aubrey Carter 3:20

Yeah, a huge thank you to Sadam Mod, Satomi Parisan, Vlad Armstrong, and Orens Rowe were some of the reviewers and commenters just recently on Spotify. So thanks, guys. If you want to have your name announced out loud on the show, leave us a rating and a review wherever you listen.

Lindsay McMahon 3:37

Yes. Awesome. So we are going to dive into these phrases. There are a few ways we say this in English. In Spanish, it's pase lo que pase. The most common one is just whatever happens is what this means, like regardless of anything that might happen in the future.

Aubrey Carter 3:52

Yes, exactly.

How can you support a friend during pivotal moments?

Aubrey Carter 3:54

Whatever happens, right? Or whatever happens, happens, I guess, too. Don't we sometimes add happens again?

Lindsay McMahon 4:00

You could just say that by itself, like whatever happens, happens. But we'll also use that in a phrase, like, for example, whatever happens tomorrow, I'm proud of you for trying.

Aubrey Carter 4:10

Or we'll stay friends, whatever happens.

Lindsay McMahon 4:13

Exactly. Yeah. So the direct translation of that is just whatever happens, happens. We will often use this Latin phrase to que sera, sera, which means the same thing. We'll hear it in music sometimes.

Aubrey Carter 4:25

It means the exact same thing. Yeah, for sure. But you're saying we use it in English. We take the Spanish and we use it in English sometimes, right? Is what you mean? Yeah. Well, I guess that's Spanish.

Lindsay McMahon 4:35

I was thinking it was Latin, but I think it is Spanish to say que sera, sera.
