    This maybe a little bit different than what you had in mind, but would you be interested in starting a (long term) correspondence?

    Hogan is basically saying that if the boy chooses to fight, Hogan would win the fight and leave, and that the vehicle being stolen from him after he leaves is not a concern, because it is insured. "You call the play" means that Hogan is telling the boy that he gets to make the decision between fighting and losing or not. However, it is in more of a mocking manner, as Hogan is the one with the real control, and the boy is in the position of not being able to do anything.

    When watching the video I recognized it incredibly easily. However, I would strongly recommend not trying to pronounce it that way. It is also common to pronounce it normally, saying every word clearly, and you will not be any less respected for saying it that way. it is important to be able to speak clearly when learning a new language. If I was learning how to say it by learning from that video, I would probably end up saying it incorrectly. it is much easier for me to imagine just saying "did you ever" normally and shifting it to those sounds. (I guess it's closest to "d'y'ever" with the y turning into a j, but it is also common to say d'y'ever with y as a y.)

    if you are interested in IPA then go ahead, but I think that learning IPA for pronouncing English would be a lot of extra work. It exists more for standardization and less for learning languages. in English the consonants/consonant combinations are generally pronounced the same. the only differences that I can think of is that unaspirared and aspirated "t, c, k, and p" are not marked, however, we do not distinguish between words this way, and mixing it up would not hinder communication. vowels are more tricky with irregularities, so you can use dictionary pronunciation and audio to help with that, but I think IPA would be overkill here as well. it may also help to listen to audio recordings. most vowel irregularities happen only in the most common words

    "taking care" is a phrase used very often in English. I suppose you could say "giving care to" or "caring for" but "taking care" is by far the most common in daily speech.

    I am pretty sure both are grammatically correct, and to me they both sound equally as natural.
