EP.14) ---> It's a heat wave! <--- ---> Transcript below <--- Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Unexpected English! I was not expecting to do this episode, but I was inspired by the heat. That is, I know all my listeners... all my listeners, haha! All three of you! All my listeners in Italy and other places are suffering with the hot weather. So I thought hot...hot... hmm... maybe will do a podcast! And there it is that's what we're doing. So I thought I'd teach you a few expressions -- or remind you of a few expressions if you already knew them, all relating to hot and the heat. So let's go! When it's hot- and I know it is, I'm sorry, but I know they're setting records with the heat, huh, it's terrible. Anyway when it's that hot, you can say it's hot as hell alright it's hot as hell or it's like an oven alright really hot like an oven. Or it's a scorcher! It's a scorcher. Another way to say it's hot. And then if you want to add in the humidity -- which makes it even worse-- then you could say it's sweltering! It's sweltering or it's stifling! It's stifling! OK, so you got all those expressions for the heat –– hot as hell, it's like an oven, it's a scorcher, It's sweltering, it's stifling, ... all of those when you're suffering in a heat wave. It's a heat wave! And it reminds me of Martha and the Vandellas song (tries to sing) I'm sorry, forget that! Yeah, Google that, go to YouTube and look for Martha and the Vandellas Heatwave. If you don't know tha song, it's great. All right let's see... so I know you're looking for a way to beat the heat right? When you're looking for a way to “beat the heat” you're trying to escape the heat. So I don't know how you're beating the heat -- if you have a fan, if you have an air conditioner, but I hope you're managing to beat the heat somehow. And let me see -- maybe my time is up! Because we like to keep it short and sweet, so I'll just say bye and thanks for listening! Ciao ciao! BONUS ENDING contains: Get hot under the collar - to get angry Full of hot air - [trump] Hot and bothered - agitated, irritated, aroused Hot to trot - excited, eager to engage in an activity You're not finished!

EP.13) Unexpected English brings you another true story from an interview on the street! It's not that scary, don't worry! And the transcript is below to help you! ROUGH TRANSCRIPT OK so here I am on the street again and I was talking to these lovely young ladies who are working some kind of job where they go door-to-door, and one of them told me about uh well something terrible that happened. Why don't you tell me what that was --- I knocked on someone's door and the dog came out and bit me -- Wait a minute, you knocked on the door... -- Yes, so I knocked on the door and the lady umm opened the main door and the dog forced open the metal sheet door that was in between us and it just ran out and bit me -- Wow! Where did it bite you -- On my leg, right here on my lower right calf. -- Lower right calf. And did it hurt a whole lot? Honestly, it didn’t really hurt that much to be honest with you but, like then, like, five minutes later I looked down and I was, like, dripping in blood and I was, like, oh... -- Oh, so the dog drew blood? -- Oh yeah, definitely yeah --- And what kind of a dog was that because I guess I should be on the lookout not to come too close to those dogs -- It was a German Shepherd but my sister has a German Shepherd and it, I mean, not all of them are, you know... No, that's right, the.. the Germans... the German shepherds can be nice, but this one was like a BAD dog --- Yeah I mean, that's with every dog breed I guess but yeah, Germans tend to be more aggressive -- So you're all better now --- Yes I'm all good, I got off my antibiotics, now I'm fine -- Oh you had to take some medicine --- Yeah, I had a couple courses of antibiotics so... Antibiotics for a dog bite,= There you go, it's another real story from the street, brought to you by Unexpected English! OK, thanks for listening! Link: https://linktr.ee/UnexpectedEnglish

Heads Up — Better Days Ahead?

EP.15) Not an "episode," — 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 — I love that — 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 — when you inform them in advance of something that will happen or won't happen. And I thought I’d give a heads up because people ask me “When’s the next episode? I can't wait! I love your podcast, and I need another episode!”

Well, great — 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 — I don't even expect hundreds! But, you know, c’mon people — *some* listeners! That would be nice!

So I decided — 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 “Hey, Unexpected English, it's my favorite English podcast!” You can put it on your Facebook, you could put it on your Instagram you can put it on your social — or not I don't know, — do I sound desperate? — 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.

BETTER DAYS AHEAD! (Gil-Scott Heron)
