It’s season four, why not? So there’s one reason. Another reason? It's been more than a month since my last podcast from my closet. That's right, I did a podcast in the closet, it's been a month and you know why, right? Because we are all trying to cope with... and cope with means deal with ... and deal with means handle... and handle means... hmmm what does it mean? Live with the conditions that we’re living with, right? But enough of that! That's what I decided ENOUGH of that. Enough! Enough! So I said boom, OK forget that, we’ll just start a NEW season right there, and that's what we're doing right here! So this is the introduction to Season Four. But you'll have to just listen to the next episode to get to Season Four. But I promise you, it's a good one.

From the Closet

(EP 44) Your favorite English podcast here with a new episode from my closet! I try to sound positive. Does it work? [Transcript below]
Hi everybody and welcome back to another episode of Unexpected English, your favorite English podcast! Yeah. Yeah this one is unexpected, maybe the most unexpected because, I dunno, I personally did not expect to be sitting in my closet ... sitting in my closet recording a podcast because I'm under quarantine. But I think you know all about it, right? Now, I mean, quarantine in Italy ... quarantine in Spain ... quarantine in France ... quarantine in New York and here in California.
So there it is. Now, what can I do to make your day a little happier? I don't know! I'm thinking, well people have more time for podcasts, that's for sure. But, at the same time, I .. I don't understand how people... some people apparently, can just, you know, go about their business, go about their theirtheir podcasting (and instagramming and facebooking) just like... oh, it's all good, life is good, huh? Because right, I know, it's not good for a lot of people. But... at the same time you don't want to hear about that right? You don't want I hear about that because you may be living that, right? So, who needs that! Um, I just wanted to explain anyway that well, obviously, for one thing, I won't be putting my phone in anybody's face anytime real soon for spontaneous interviews. And you know Unexpected English is always spontaneous!
So instead I thought I would sit here in my closet and see you what I would talk about. Although I can tell you I do have maybe two or three episodes ready and so when you hear those and they sound all so happy and you know, “Where is he?” and “How can you be out interviewing people?” They happened some time ago. Right? so I thought I would explain that. And I thought I would end a little solidarity out there to everybody who is ... uh.. living under... living under difficult conditions. Actually, and I can tell you here... I'm in California, and it's not bad here at all because we can go out. Everything is closed, and if you want to go shopping there’s, you know, there's no toilet paper! There's like a global panic on toilet paper I don't know. No toilet paper, but you can go and get groceries if you want to go out, you know. Personally we did some shopping here and hope to stay in for a few weeks and hope for the best. So that's our situation here, but I do go out every day and have a nice walk because I live in an area where I don't see very many people.
But again don't wanna talk about that don't want to talk about the quarantine. Anyway I guess I'm rambling at this point, so I'll just stop and say, well, I thought I should continue podcasting, even if, uh, I am only talking nonsense. At least you know I'm here and maybe it gives you something to listen to? And let me know how it's going and ...you can ... I'll catch you next time! All right, yeah. OK! See, I’m staying positive. That's what we need to do. So let's do that, all right? All right, we'll catch you next time. Ciao Ciao!

TRANSCRIPT: OK, so here I am at an outdoor event where they have a lot of different stands including this one selling food. And I see the name of the stand is “In Your Mama’s Kitchen.” So could you tell us what your specialty is here at In Your Mama’s Kitchen? At In Your Mama’s Kitchen we have soul food that's not just good for the soul but it's good for the mind body and the spirit and stomach if you are hungry. If you are not, you can always take a plate to go. Soul food, soul food, so for the listeners who don't know what that means, could you explain a little bit what soul food really is? Soul food is, it’s just that food that when you take that one bite, it really just hits you so deep it just makes you go MMMM! MMM MMM MM! And it makes you just want more and more and more! Mmm, that does sound good, that does sound good, could you give me an idea of what kind of items we’re talking about? So we have some ribs, we have... Ribs? Ribs! Ribs! Did you say ribs?
