One-one was a race-horse, two-two was one too. One-one won one race; two-two won one too.

I have problem with this long O. The long O at 5:27 sounds different from the same long O @ 6:15. For example, the long O in Cold & Blower sounds the same (similar to the long O @ 6:15) but it sounds different in Phone & Chorous (similar to the long O @ 5:27). I bet you know what I am talking about. I hear American saying the same as you taught in the this video. Do you know why?
