(EP 41) Your favorite English podcast finally brings you a new episode! [see Transcription below!] Please support the podcast by telling your friends and sharing this link --> https://linktr.ee/unexpectedenglish Thank you! OK so here I am with one of my neighbors and I thought I would ask him a question, basically because I was walking by his garage and I saw that he has a boat in there. So tell me, why do you have a boat in your garage? Because my entire life I have always enjoyed small boats. When I was about seven years old my brother and I bought a very poor little wooden boat that was about seven foot long. It cost us $15, but it was my own little vessel, and I was the captain over my own little ship. OK so he loves boats, you love boats but... how did this boat end up in your garage? I built this boat. About... Uhh, excuse me, let me make sure I understand. You're saying YOU built this boat? Every stick of it, yes sir. Wow! OK, well umm we're talking to a man then who built a boat and it's now housed in his garage. How long did it take you to make, I mean to build a boat? I don't know I can't even build a model car, so building a boat seems to me kind of an incredible thing. How long did that take it? It took about three years to build this one I had built two other boats in the past... OK, wait a minute now... three years to build a boat, it's his third boat that he’s built, so I guess you could say I'm talking to a boat-building guy here! OK thanks, I guess we're gonna cut, cut it right there. I hope you enjoyed it, and stay tuned for more. Bye! ****************** You listened, you liked it... so now you have to share it! 😂 You maybe know about the podcast because I personally invited you to listen, right? That's the way it works best - word of mouth! Please tell ONE FRIEND so they start listening too. Thanks! 🙏🏼

(EP 40) Your favorite English podcast opens Season Three with a surprising man on the street interview! Listening tips:🔊 (1) No transcript (2) With the transcript below (3) One last time just for for fun! Let's GO! [Intro... ] Interview: Hi everybody! I was just walking down the street and I saw this kind of a hippie looking dude and I thought, and I thought, Hey, this hippie looking dude, he could be interesting to interview! So, and he, and I said, Hey can I interview you? And he said, Yeah, sure! About what? And I said, Well what do you do? Are you a musician? 🎼 (I was guessing you know, because he looked like, like a hippie dude) So, and he said, Yeah, I am! So tell me, what... what instrument do you play? I play the harp. 🎶 Oh, the harp, umm, so that is a solo thing, no? Sometimes solo, sometimes with orchestras, small groups... And so do you play regularly with a small group? Umm, I’d say that I play regularly with different groups, actually. And tell me how long have you been playing the harp? 18 years. Oh so, you're like... you're a professional harpist as it were. I suppose so. I’d like think so. How long did it take for you to master the harp? Oh, I wouldn't say that I've mastered harp. I don't even know what that means! Oh yeah, that's a good response! I was thinking “master” is maybe... too much. How long would it take someone (say me, if I had any talent) to learn to play a song on the harp? Umm, depending on the song maybe a few weeks, maybe a month or a couple months. Depends on how hard you wanna work and how interested you are. OK, so I could pick up a harp and maybe be playing something in a year, yeah? Yeah, I mean you’d be playing “something” the whole time (haha) This is true! Um, how many harps do you own? Three harps. Three harps, and how much does a harp cost? It sort of depends on the kind of harp. I have a small harp time, that maybe has a the couple of octaves, three octaves or so, and that's probably only a few hundred dollars. But then, the big concert harp is at least $12,000. $12,000 for your concert style harp, so, so to all the listeners out there, I suggest you start off with a little harp and work your way up. OK? OK, I think that's it, we're going to end it there. Thanks again to my guest, whose name I won’t ask because, you know, we’ve got to keep everything on the "discreet." But, it was a lucky thing to bump into this dude and find out, Yeah! He's a harpist! I hope you enjoyed the podcast, and we’ll see you next time. Bye! ... Bye! -👉🏼--> Did you enjoy the episode?

[INTRO]
All right, so I was sitting at home and somebody rang my front doorbell, two young people. Can I say young people? Yes. OK, two young people. So tell me, young people, what is it that you're doing? We are protecting our oceans with Greenpeace. You're... wait a minute.. you're knocking on my door, I'm 7 miles from the ocean. I'm confused. Yeah, totally, so right now we're in the middle.... Yeah she's right, I'm totally confused! Yes you are! She got me! I’m totally confused No, no, c'mon, now seriously, you are representing... Yeah, Greenpeace. So a lot of people in the neighborhood support Greenpeace in our awesome campaigns. Today we're working on plastic pollution in the ocean. It's become a huge epidemic, I'm sure it's been on your radar lately. On my radar? On my radar? I mean, the oceans, at this point... What? What’s the problem with the ocean to this point? You don’t know? I do know! Oh, OK. That’s why we’re here. I was asking you! Oh, you don’t have to ask me, you don’t have to ask anybody, we all know. OK, good! We know. Yeah we definitely know. We all should be aware about the issues in the ocean. 🌊 So right now, every 60 seconds we’re seeing the equivalent of a garbage truck load of plastic enter our oceans. (music) Hear that again people? Every... could you said again slowly? Every 60 seconds we're seeing the equivalent of a dump truck load of plastic enter our oceans. A dump truck load of plastic into our oceans every 60 seconds. (music) Yep, it's horrible because then the whales eat it 🐳 and the turtles eat it and then they're not having a good time. It’s messed up! It's really messed up! But no need to fear, you know, Greenpeace is here! (laughter) All right, so what is... what is what is Greenpeace doing.... So we need to make Greenpeace a priority and the environment a priority. So how are we going to get that assh*le out of the White House? (YEAH, he's garbage!) That's our number one issue, isn’t it? Uh, so Greenpeace is non-partisan, we don't... Well, I’m partisan! I'm partisan! Aren’t you partisan? I’mm... working for Greenpeace Oh, he’s working for Greenpeace, so he can not say. Well there you go. I guess, uhh, that being the case, we can't uhhh get too political even though... well, no! Saving the planet, is that political?? No! I would say everybody should want to save the planet, everybody has a live on the planet.🌍 So what is wrong with the damn Republicans that they don't wanna save the planet? They just wanna keep on pollutin’ and pollutin’!!! 💀 Umm... "I can't say I’m working for Greenpeace." OK thanks we’ll cut it right there. Thanks everybody for listening, ciao ciao!
