Heads Up β Better Days Ahead?
July 4, 2019
β’5m
EP.15) Not an "episode," β just a monologue asking for your help and hoping for better days ahead!
ROUGH TRANSCRIPT:
Hi everybody and welcome back to another episode of Unexpected English, your favorite English podcast! Haha it never gets old β I love that β but, but in fact there is no episode today! This is just a heads up! Heads up, good phrase! A heads up means when you tell someone in advance β when you inform them in advance of something that will happen or won't happen. And I thought Iβd give a heads up because people ask me βWhenβs the next episode? I can't wait! I love your podcast, and I need another episode!β
Well, great β but here's the deal: not very many people out there are listening. I mean, they say there are podcasts with thousands of listeners right? Now I don't ... I don't expect thousands β I don't even expect hundreds! But, you know, cβmon people β *some* listeners! That would be nice!
So I decided β I WILL. DO. A NEW. EPISODE. -- every time the last episode gets 40 listeners. That's all! That's not too much to ask! 40 listeners, that's all I'm asking! if I get 0 listeners I'll do a new episode for you, OK? So what do you need to do? Spread the word. help me out here! You know you have friends learning English: tell them about the podcast. say βHey, Unexpected English, it's my favorite English podcast!β You can put it on your Facebook, you could put it on your Instagram you can put it on your social β or not I don't know, β do I sound desperate? β I'm not. ;) I'm just saying: if you want more episodes, I need 40 listens, OK? I get 40 listeners and you get a new episode! That's the way it works, all right?
And other than that, all I can say is Happy Fourth of July! It is July, it is the Fourth of July America's Independence Day! And, I'm thinking, so many of us are just waiting for that freedom to come (I need! I need!) in 2020 when we will no longer have... well you know what. I won't mention his name! So I will leave it at that, thanks for listening and remember! I'm counting on you to spread the word, to let people know about the podcast, and as soon as we get more listeners, we get more podcasts and, if not.. I'll probably do the podcast anyway! Don't worry about it just have a good time! OK thanks for listening, ciao.

(EP 17) I do the interview, but my wife gets the gelato? Dang!
--> The intro has no transcript... but the show transcript is below! <--
*TRANSCRIPT*
So I was walking down the street and I noticed a place called "Gelato Vero" which to me sounds like βreal gelatoβ right? So I thought I would walk in and ask them a few questions. β Hi, umm do you work here? β Yes I do β And could you tell me what flavors we have of gelato here? β Umm right now we have strawberry, cookies and cream, pistachio dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla, mocha almond crunch and gianduia, which is our chocolate hazelnut, spumoni and umm banana. β And what makes this gelato different than normal ice cream? β Ummm itβs prepared differently. it's it's made with little to no air, so it's more dense. β And who makes the gelato? βHis name is Michael and he's been making it since 1984 since we opened. β Since 1984 in this location? β yes in this very location β and, but he's not here. β Not right now. he usually works at night actually. β So tell me, since he's not here, is the gelato really good? β It's very good actually. most people say it's the most authentic thing they've tasted here in the United States β Wow! So that means I should taste some, right? β You should definitely taste some! β Well then I guess I'm gonna end the podcast right here so that I can just taste some gelato. Thanks for listening!
--> Part II <--
So here I am with my lovely bride who is enjoying the gelato that we just got β MMM, it is so delicious! β I wouldn't know because she's eating it all and I'm not getting any! What's up with that? β Well, you don't like cherries and the flavor that I chose has cherries in it. β What flavor is that? βSpumoni β Spumoni with cherries yeah hmm ok, not my favorite. Why did you get something that I don't like? β Because you said you didn't want any. β Didn't you know I was lying? I'm like Donald Trump, I lie all the time! β Well, that's true. You do lie quite a bit, but I thought you were serious because you had such a big, fat, rich burrito with guacamole and sour cream and cheddar cheese on it β Wait a minute, wait a minute, that's a different podcast! Don't talk about Mexican food when the podcast is about gelato, cβmon, it's. like. confusing the issue. β Well I'm just telling you, and everyone, why you didn't want to have any of the best gelato that we've had in a long time, maybe the best in San Diego β OK well folks you see how I get treated around here. But I'll tell you what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna like, press the stop button right now Oh, dang! it's too late! She ate all of it!! Nothing left for me at all! OK well, there you have it: another true story, another real life story from the... OK thanks for listening. Dang! Bye!
