fivejedjon#2 is not natural.
It's not natual and no native speakers would be saying that?
OR
It's not natural but native speakers could be saying that?

Also, would you say #2 is not grammatical?

Thanks!

It is not natural. Native speakers tend not to say unnatural thing in normal circumstances.

In that it would sound wrong if anyone said it, then you can call it ungrammatical if you wish.

JungKimDidn't she say "That's enough to that"?
No. She said "That's enough o' that." She has slurred the "of"

I hear "OK. That's enough o' that." "Of" is often slurred to a schwa is rapid speech, rendered in writing as I have done

I agree on the week vowel sound of 'of'.
But to my ear, there's a /t/ sound right in front of the vowel sound. So I couldn't help but think it was 'to'. But maybe I should go see a doctor to check my ear or something.

I heard something there, too, but I don't know what it is. The recording isn't the clearest one I've ever heard, and there is background noise. I listened to it carefully several times, and I do not think it was a "t". Anyway, "that's enough to that" in that context is not English, whatever she said.
