He begins by introducing the term 'heavy hitter', defining it as someone who is the most famous or powerful in a certain area. Bob gives a specific example: if he could invite Lucy from English with Lucy to his YouTube channel, she would be a heavy hitter because she is a successful English teacher. He mentions he should email her for a collaboration. Bob provides another example, saying if Matt Damon came to speak to his class, that would be a heavy hitter, describing it as cool and impressive. He summarizes that a heavy hitter is a very important, famous, or powerful person. Next, Bob teaches the second term, 'heavy heart', explaining it means you are sad. He notes this phrase is often used after someone passes away, giving an example: 'I have a heavy heart since my grandmother passed away.' Bob clarifies it relates to feeling grief.
