In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl tells Jack about the Mexican holiday 3 Kings Day.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and today I'm here with my co-host social. And this is a new kind of episode that I like to call, topic talks and so social. What is today's topic or the topic talk?00:00:20XochitlUh, today's topic tag is a cultural holiday tradition called 3 Kings Day, and it's a holiday celebrated on January 6th and we celebrate in Mexico and I'm not sure if we celebrate it in other places of Latin America, but it celebrates when the three kings visited the baby Jesus.00:00:41XochitlYou brought gifts. So in Mexico you don't actually get your gifts on Christmas and stuff you. I mean, you can, but you usually get your gifts on three Kings Day.00:00:52JackOhh really you get?00:00:53JackYour your gifts on three Kings Day for not not.00:00:58XochitlYeah, I mean, I got.00:01:00XochitlGifts both days growing up, I split, split them up like between Christmas and three Wednesday.00:01:09XochitlBut traditionally in Mexico, you do get your gifts on three Kings Day so.00:01:16JackAnd and this also we should let our listeners know, this is like a this is from the the Christian Bible. The idea that on the on I guess it was when when Christ was Jesus was born.00:01:31JackBarn 3 Kings presented him with gifts, right? Gold, frankincense and myrrh.00:01:42JackIs that what it?00:01:42발표자Yeah, yeah.00:01:42JackIs OK alright. I don't know what Murray is. Actually, I don't know what frankincense is either, but.00:01:47XochitlFrankincense is a type of like it's a it's like a potpourri, or like an incense type of thing. It's a smell. I've smelled it before. It's kind of it smells kind of like minty.00:01:55JackOK. OK. OK.00:02:02XochitlBut look really sweet. I don't know.00:02:03JackThat's nice. Oh, OK. OK. Frank, it's. I mean, it kind of sounds like frankincense kind of sounds like some kind of incense. You know, like it comes to the word incense, but, but murder?00:02:03XochitlHow to?00:02:05XochitlIt is nice.00:02:13XochitlRight, yeah.00:02:16XochitlYeah, I don't know what that one is.00:02:19XochitlI'll be honest.00:02:19JackWhat is that? OK. All right. Have no idea if you know what Mer is. Please let us know. Send us.00:02:20XochitlI have no.00:02:21XochitlI don't have that one.00:02:24XochitlAn e-mail leave us a comment.00:02:29XochitlOr time in the we chat or.00:02:30XochitlWhatsApp groups, but uh.00:02:32XochitlYeah. So what we do typically is that we exchange gifts on this day kind of like you would for Christmas and then we.00:02:42XochitlCut up the roska, which is a three kings cake or King's cake. Kind of like Mardi Gras where you have.00:02:48XochitlKing's cake it's.00:02:49XochitlA similar kind of consistency. It's flavored with orange and anise seed.00:02:55XochitlAnd it has, like marzipan and cherries and candied orange peels. UM on the top.00:03:04XochitlAnd the very interesting.00:03:05JackOhh nice.00:03:06XochitlYeah, it is really tasty. I had two pieces, but the really interesting part about this pastry, it's shaped like a ring and everyone cuts their own peace. And if you get there's three plastic baby jesuses inside the.00:03:24XochitlThe cake and if you get a baby Jesus on February 2nd, you have to make tomorrow's for every.00:03:32JackOh, really? OK.00:03:36JackDid you get a baby Jesus?00:03:38XochitlNo, I I have a few tricks up.00:03:40XochitlMy sleeve Jack. So.00:03:42JackNobody wants.00:03:42JackA baby Jesus. You don't want a baby Jesus.00:03:45XochitlYou don't want a baby Jesus because then you have to make tomorrow and no one wants to make tamales. So I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I use to avoid the baby. Jesuses #1 is.00:03:57XochitlThe riskiest part is when you've cut your first piece of cake, you're pretty much.00:04:02XochitlIt's just your luck on luck.00:04:04JackYou got you go.00:04:04JackLeft or you go right. I mean that's it, right? I mean, right.00:04:07XochitlYeah, you have no pretty much no.00:04:12XochitlSay you kind of want to be in the middle.00:04:14XochitlOf the pack because.00:04:18XochitlIf you are the first person to cut, you have no idea. And if you're the last person to cut, then unless everyone else magically got a baby Jesus, which is very unlikely, then you're running out of space. You know what I mean? Like.00:04:31XochitlYou're running out.00:04:32XochitlOf real estate there. So it's likely that you're getting a baby Jesus, but if you're.00:04:36XochitlSomewhere in the middle of the pack.00:04:37XochitlIf someone just got a baby, the best time to go is.00:04:39XochitlIf someone just got a baby.00:04:41JackYeah, go right next to their their baby Jesus because.00:04:45XochitlThanks. Yeah.00:04:46JackThere's not going to be two.00:04:47JackBaby Jesus, next to each other, right?00:04:49XochitlYeah, they're not right next to each other. So I mean, when I used to make it, sometimes I put them.00:04:53XochitlNext to each other.00:04:56JackYou trick people, OK?00:04:57XochitlYeah, but you don't know where.00:05:01XochitlYou don't know where you they are. Even if you baked it, because once you bake it, you bake it with the baby.00:05:05XochitlJuice inside by.00:05:06XochitlThe way I know that can't be good for you.00:05:09XochitlBut or maybe?00:05:09JackThat can't be good, that those those are forever plastic chemicals, you know, so.00:05:14XochitlI know, but yeah. But you.00:05:16XochitlForget by the time it's ready where you put the baby Jesus. So it's like you.00:05:22XochitlThat's the best time is what right after someone got a baby Jesus.00:05:26XochitlThe other thing the other way that.00:05:28XochitlI avoid it is.00:05:30XochitlIf you already got a baby dude so you can eat as many slices as you want because getting the 2nd baby juices doesn't make you have to make more tamales.00:05:37JackNo, it's you're already. You're already done anyway. You're you're you've lost already, so.00:05:38XochitlWell, it's.00:05:43XochitlI just avoid a second slice until everyone has already.00:05:47XochitlGotten a baby Jesus? Like if they've already found three baby jesuses, then I can have as many slices as I want, but I tend.00:05:53XochitlTo hold out until that point.00:05:55JackOK.00:05:56JackOK.00:05:57JackWhat about? I'm just, I'm just brainstorming here, but what if?00:06:00JackYou cut really slowly.00:06:03JackAnd then you feel the plastic, you know, baby Jesus kind of touch the knife.00:06:10JackBut you can feel which side the the baby Jesus is on.00:06:14JackAnd then you cut the other go. The other way is that does that count? Or if you touch the baby Jesus with the knife, does that mean you you're now making tamales for everybody?00:06:25XochitlYes, because if you even if it peeks out, like even if you slice didn't have any, if you can see it when you cut it, like if it's in the then it's yours.00:06:34JackOh, OK, OK. So you.00:06:36XochitlPut it with the knife and you like moved your knife because you felt it. Everyone would. Everyone's watching you cut. So everyone be like you felt it. So you're making it tomorrow. Like they don't care. But I'll be really dirty. Trick that I used to have up my sleeve when I was a kid. Is that when everyone was distracted? I would. It's like a.00:06:54JackYou would poke a toothpick in there.00:06:57XochitlNo, I would pick it up and look at the bottom because you can see the.00:07:00XochitlHoles where they put the baby juices in.00:07:04JackSo you would know exactly where not to OK.00:07:08XochitlYeah, we're not to cut. And just, like, make a mental note of it. That was when I was younger I.00:07:12XochitlTried not to be that unfair.00:07:14JackYeah, that's some serious cheating right there. But yeah, you must be making tamales. Must be really awful. Must must be.00:07:21XochitlIt's not awful, but it's a lot of work, like no one to do it because you have to sit around. It's like an all day of Fair like you have to make the dough. You gotta boil the pork. You have to make the sauce. So that goes in there like you have. There's so many components to the ceiling and then you have to wrap each individual tomorrow. And you have to steam them in a pot, then you're done.00:07:24JackOK, OK.00:07:41XochitlSo it's like all the affair.00:07:43XochitlSo just no one.00:07:43JackI love tamales though. Ohh my gosh.00:07:46JackThey're so good.00:07:47XochitlI'm actually not a fan.00:07:48XochitlOf tamales either actually. So that's like.00:07:50JackReally. Ohh like that? I don't I.00:07:52JackThink I like them.00:07:54XochitlMore little ones with banana like that are wrapped in banana leaves. I do love those, but other other ones. I'm not a huge fan of. Yeah. So that's kind of the the big thing is like the excitement about whether you're gonna find a baby Jesus or not.00:08:08XochitlAnd do you have like hot cocoa or, you know, you drink it with like hot cocoa usually?00:08:13XochitlBecause it's not a super sweet. It's like it's kind.00:08:15XochitlOf a sweet.00:08:16XochitlBread, pastry kind of thing, but it's not very sweet. It's not like American pastries.00:08:21XochitlWhere it's like.00:08:21XochitlA mouthful of sugar. It's like a.00:08:22JackRight, right, right. Yeah.00:08:23XochitlVery light beef bread.00:08:25XochitlSo you dip it in your hot chocolate to complement it.00:08:29XochitlUM.00:08:31XochitlAnd that's kind of how you do it you.00:08:33XochitlKnow so.00:08:34JackSun right, actually.00:08:36XochitlYeah, it is really nice. I actually do, really.00:08:38XochitlEnjoy it and.00:08:40발표자Like did you?00:08:40JackGuys stretch out the holiday season even a little bit farther.00:08:43XochitlOh, ohhh yeah, we're bad in Mexico. If you if you whenever. If you ever moved to Mexico or go travel to Mexico or something. Everything. I mean, except businesses, some businesses and stuff, but any kind of like paperwork, anything like that is shut down completely from like December through the end of January.00:09:05XochitlDecember starts Posadas all the way until December 24th. Posadas are like.00:09:10XochitlWhen you know.00:09:11XochitlHow Mary and Joseph asked for a place to stay like they asked for refuge, I guess.00:09:17JackYeah, yeah, yeah.00:09:18XochitlSo you go around knocking. I told you about this before.00:09:21XochitlBut you go.00:09:22XochitlAround knocking door.00:09:22XochitlTo door and you like get hot chocolate and there's like party. It's like a part.00:09:26XochitlEvery night up until Christmas Eve. Then you party on Christmas. Then it's like you have New Year's. Then you have they smuggle. But January 6. And then there's still more stuff that you're doing up until February 2nd, where you have the people come back and have the tamales.00:09:47JackI love it. I love it. Months of celebrations? Yeah, that's.00:09:48XochitlSo it's just a party all through December and January.00:09:54XochitlIt's like doing some partying. Yeah, yeah.00:09:57JackI like it. I like it.00:09:59XochitlVery festive culture, which is something I appreciate and something a lot of.00:10:03XochitlPeople like but.00:10:04XochitlA lot of people aren't prepared for it when they move their full time because they get angry because they're like, why are there fireworks waking me up at 2:00 AM every night? It's like, well, they're.00:10:13XochitlPart people are partying cause it's like a patron, St's birthday or some kind of holiday. It's like pretty much every week there's a holiday of some sort.00:10:22JackRight. It's the day before the day before the three Kings Day. And it's the day after, you know? Yeah.00:10:23XochitlAnd they're not all set.00:10:28XochitlRight.00:10:29XochitlYeah, they after this. So it's kind of like it's a big celebratory culture and a lot of people enjoy that. But again, they're not really like ready for it because it's a lot of.00:10:41XochitlCommunity and like in America, we're so individualistic and we're so reserved and we don't like loud noises and we're very bothered by.00:10:51XochitlThose couple things and like it's something that I feel like a lot of Americans are really not prepared for when they move to Mexico. I see so many complaints on expat groups like why are people putting on fireworks? My poor dog is scared. I'm scared. I don't like the noise. I can't.00:11:07XochitlSleep and like it's.00:11:08XochitlJust that's how it is here.00:11:11XochitlI guess that it is better. Yeah, or. Yeah. But it's like not going to change anytime soon because it's just part of the culture, a huge part.00:11:11JackYeah, accept it or leave God love it.00:11:15JackLeave it.00:11:21XochitlOf the culture so.00:11:23XochitlYeah.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack explain how you should address peers and authority figures in the United States.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A to Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we have a new kind of episode that we'd like to call the culture corner.00:00:12JackAnd social today's question comes from one of our listeners and our listener. This is Nash to asking. Nash is from Iraq and she says she asks, what did the majority of people in America prefer to be called?00:00:31JackSo when we talked about this episode earlier today, you you've separated it into two really interesting categories. I think peers and authority figures. Is that what you said?00:00:44XochitlYes, that's what I said.00:00:45JackOK, OK. So I like that because I think that that's a really good way to to like kind of picture the situation in America. And so how would you what? Well let's start with peers first, what do peers prefer to be called?00:01:02XochitlEars are usually referred to informally and you talk.00:01:05XochitlTo them by.00:01:06XochitlTheir name?00:01:07JackRight.00:01:08XochitlSo peers refers to also someone on your same level hierarchically. So if we're talking about, for example, your classmates in school, college, elementary school, whatever.00:01:22XochitlThose are your peers. If you're at a job, everyone who's in your same station as you, like anyone who is your colleague and isn't above.00:01:29XochitlView hierarchically, those are your peers in a family setting. Even your brothers and sisters are really your peers, and the parents are basically the 30 or any older adults are basically a 30.00:01:44JackRight. And now what about our case like I'm 47? You're 26. Or did you turn?00:01:48Jack27 I can't remember.00:01:50XochitlI turned 27.00:01:51JackYou turned 27 so OK, so I've got 20 years in you, but I still think.00:01:55JackOf you as like.00:01:55JackA peer, because we're both podcasters. We're partners in this in our business.00:02:01JackAnd so, even though there's a 20 year, 20 year gap, I I don't know about you, but if you started calling me, Mr. McBain, that would be really weird. You know what I mean?00:02:12XochitlSo awkward. And that brings you a really important point, which is.00:02:18XochitlSometimes if you start out formally, Jack was talking about, it's important to.00:02:24XochitlSo start formally because it's you're unlikely to offend someone, you might make it a little awkward, but if you start formally, you're unlikely to offend someone. They'll just correct you to speak to them more informally. And so if I started calling Jack, Mr. McBain now.00:02:43XochitlIf you insist, once a person has told you to draw up formalities, you can actually make the situation way more uncomfortable than you would have just following what they prefer and just being informal.00:02:58발표자Right.00:02:59JackI would say like a lot of people.00:03:01JackThat are you.00:03:02JackKnow. So let's let's go to like authority figures.00:03:05JackRight. So and it so.00:03:06JackIt doesn't matter the age, it's more about the like situation like.00:03:10JackSo social and.00:03:11JackI are. We're both podcasting partners in this business, so.00:03:15JackSo she and I.00:03:16JackUse our names. I call her social, she.00:03:18JackCalls me Jack.00:03:19JackWell, let's say let's you say you go to university.00:03:24JackYou you meet your.00:03:25JackProfessor for the first time, you know, at the beginning of the semester, like you said, you're always gonna start with the formal, right? You're gonna say Professor Smith?00:03:35XochitlJohn. Ohh yeah.00:03:38JackProfessor Johnson or Professor Smith or whatever. And then if the professor says no, no, don't call me Professor Johnson, call me Deborah or Deb.00:03:48JackMaybe then you have to switch to informal and call her Debbie from now on. Don't use the formal because she already asked you not to use the formal.00:04:00JackHow do we?00:04:01JackBut I would say if she doesn't.00:04:03JackSay that if she says, you know if you say good morning professor.00:04:08JackJohnson and she says good morning, Jack, or good morning social. Then I would always use Professor Johnson in that case because she never asked me.00:04:18JackTo use the.00:04:19JackInformal, so I'm going to assume she wants me to use the formal and then just continue that out.00:04:28XochitlIn authority, like in situations where you're addressing a person of authority, the default is only as a formality, so you only default to or assume talking to someone in a formal way. And then of course you can change.00:04:44XochitlIt later and.00:04:45XochitlIn most settings, people will tell you how they want to be addressed. In the US, we do tend to be like.00:04:51XochitlA little more direct in those ways and like for example, when I was in college, our professors would usually let.00:04:57XochitlUs know how.00:04:57XochitlThey wanted to be addressed, so if they want to be addressed as professor, so and so.00:05:01XochitlSo then that was fine, but if they wanted to be addressed by their first names, they would also let us know that as well. So it was never really a guessing game. Like what should I call this person or not?00:05:14JackMy friend's parents.00:05:16JackI would I always use the formal. I would say like yeah, my friend's name is uh is uh, you know Joe Johnson, I would say to his parents. Hello, Mrs. Johnson. Hello, Mr. Johnson. Like, that's what I would say. I wouldn't. I wouldn't just be like hey.00:05:34JackMitch. Hey, Barbara. You know like that because it's too. It's too comfortable. Like you don't know them. You're not close enough to them. But if they tell you, call me Barbara. Call me Mitch. Then you can you can do it so.00:05:51JackYeah, I don't know is it is.00:05:53JackIs this easy or is this?00:05:56XochitlI think it can be a little complicated and I think the most important thing to remember is that if it's your peers, you can be informal. If it's authority, you should be formal. Yeah, at least at 1st, and then if the authority figure wants to.00:06:12XochitlYou to talk more informally then. That's fine. And another important thing to remember is, UM, if you're unsure, I guess if the person is your peer or an authority figure, like if you're coworkers, but you don't know the person has a higher station than you, like maybe they're not quite the boss, but maybe they're a manager or something.00:06:34XochitlThen just start out.00:06:37XochitlWith talking to them formally, and they'll correct you if they want to.00:06:45JackI I love it, I.00:06:46JackMean, I think.00:06:46JackThese are really good.00:06:48JackRules right, peers. Informal authority figures start formally and then until they ask you to to to be informal.00:06:59JackAnd if you don't know?00:07:01JackDon't guess, just always go formal because it's better to be too formal than to be too informal. So I think those are the three rules. If you can follow those 3 rules, you'll be you'll be fine in in America.00:07:15JackIn the United States.00:07:16XochitlI do have a couple little things to add. 1 is it depends how casual or formal the setting is. Like if you're in a workplace or at school, these are formal settings, so again like you want to follow the rules we just established.00:07:33XochitlBut if it's a more casual setting, kind of like the podcast like Jack and I kind of met in a casual way and the podcast is more casual, like the age difference doesn't really matter in that context.00:07:47XochitlAnd then the last thing that I wanted to say is if you're talking to a random stranger like, say someone drops your wallet, Sir or ma'am is perfectly fine way to address someone.00:08:02XochitlUM, you're like, oh, excuse me, Sir, you dropped your wallet or excuse me, ma'am, you dropped your wallet. And if the person is a younger person or someone like in their 20s or or or maybe early 30s, you can say miss or.00:08:17XochitlLike a.00:08:19XochitlYoung man, for example.00:08:22XochitlAs well.00:08:24JackAnd and it. Yeah, I think that that's really good. And even if that's too much to remember, just certain, ma'am is is is OK.00:08:32XochitlYeah, that's OK if the.00:08:34JackEven even for younger people, you say?00:08:35JackSir, you know? Yeah.00:08:38XochitlYou'll call me ma'am and I find it, like, weird. Sometimes they've called me ma'am since I was a kid. Like people, people, even in American culture, we default to something.00:08:50XochitlSo it should be fine.00:08:51JackI've been called, Sir. When I was young too, you know? And it feels weird. You kind. It feels like you're it. It feels bigger than than me.00:08:59JackThan I am.00:09:00JackYou know what?00:09:00JackI mean like someones using a title.00:09:02JackThat's much larger than.00:09:03JackMy my status but but it's still effective. You know, if they don't know your name, they say Sir.00:09:14XochitlRight. So I hope that answer your answers your question. I'm getting tongue tied there listeners.

What kind of what genre of movie do you prefer?00:01:46LaylaYes, exactly.00:01:56EricahI think I would go to letter D.00:02:00JackLetter D science fiction, fantasy. OK and why is that?00:02:03EricahAlso yes, because I like that type of genre like you know it. It's out of this world. So yeah, I feel like it's amazing.00:02:15JackSo are you do you go towards science fiction or fantasy like Lord of?00:02:20JackThe rings or Star Wars? What is your?00:02:23EricahThe Lord of the Rings.00:02:24JackOK, so you like fantasy. OK. OK. Is that your favorite fantasy movie? The Lord?00:02:31EricahYes, Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter. The habit. What else?00:02:37JackThose are the big ones, yeah.00:02:38EricahEmma Jones.00:02:39JackGame of Thrones? Yep. Yep, of course. Of course.00:02:44JackWell, I'm gonna. I'm gonna join.00:02:45JackErica. And I'm gonna say I agree I'm gonna choose D science fiction or fantasy.00:02:51JackBut I.00:02:52JackPrefer more of the science fiction side so.00:02:56JackI love movies like Blade Runner, I love Star Wars. I I I even enjoyed the some of the Marvel movies. I think those are really fun. And so I like aliens. I like robots. I like spaceships. You know, like anything with that.00:03:16JackI mean, I love it. OK, #2.00:03:21JackIf you could travel to any era in history, when would it be a ancient Rome?00:03:29JackB. the Renaissance C, the Roaring 20s. So the 1920s or D the future.00:03:42LaylaThis is a tough question, but I think I will go with a. Just remind me I it's about 12:00.00:03:51JackAncient Rome. Yeah, Julius Caesar and all the yeah stuff.00:03:53LaylaAncient Rome.00:03:55LaylaYeah, because I like to to read about this period of time.00:04:02LaylaI'm and those people honestly are were were amazing and they maybe gave a lot of things to to people. So we are thankful to them. So I I would like to to go there and to know more.00:04:22LaylaAbout that period of.00:04:25JackYou know a long time ago I did visit Rome and I went through some of the ancient ruins and the Colosseum and the architecture for that time. I mean, amazing. It's how they did that. The their understanding of math and and is incredible. So I that's a good choice.00:04:46JackI agree with you, I mean, I mean, I'm.00:04:48JackI'm not choosing that, but I I.00:04:50JackThink it's a good?00:04:50JackChoice. Erica, what about you? Where?00:04:53JackAre you going to go in time?00:04:55EricahWell, I'm going to choose letter D the future because I could have like history like in the room and the other parts of the history. But it's just that I'm afraid of the people.00:05:10EricahBefore, like as you know, they're they're kind of strict with the rules and I don't know if I go back in time and I might stumble to someone higher and then that might get me killed.00:05:24JackThat's a good point. Yeah, you go.00:05:26JackTo the Barbarians or whatever.00:05:28JackYeah, that's a good point.00:05:29EricahYeah. So that's.00:05:31EricahWhy I choose the future? Because you know, people are more.00:05:35EricahHow should they say this like they're not that strict with the rules and regulations, more cigarettes? And yeah, that's it.00:05:39JackMore civilized, maybe in the future. OK, yeah.00:05:44EricahHow about you, Jack?00:05:46JackYeah, I think you guys know my answer because I love science fiction, and so I would love to go into the future and see just what kind of.00:05:56JackLike science fiction that we have now is become science fact in the future.00:06:01JackYou know, do we?00:06:03JackDo we master space travel? Do we live on other planets? You know, like that stuff is.00:06:09JackReally exciting to me.00:06:12JackYou know like.00:06:12JackLiving on the moon or visiting the moon like like going to a hotel, you know, like, go to vacation on the moon, go to.00:06:20JackMars, I mean.00:06:22JackAmazing. So I'm definitely going to go to the future. All right, #3, what is?00:06:28JackYour preferred method of communication.00:06:32JackA texting B phone calls C face to face conversations or D social media.00:06:45LaylaFor this question, as as you know, I prefer to have.00:06:52LaylaVideo video call the that what one?00:06:55JackVideo conferencing like like Zoom or Google Meet. OK, OK.00:06:59LaylaYeah. Yeah, because in my case I I don't like texting because I feel I couldn't.00:07:11LaylaReceipt or maybe give my real feelings and they receive the the real feelings from other people and I am more about talking with people directly.00:07:25LaylaSo now as you, as you see, uh, this is the most important part for.00:07:33LaylaTo to have this experience, to to, to enjoy this, this time with people.00:07:40LaylaWho are who?00:07:41LaylaI love and I know, so I will go with this.00:07:47JackYeah, you. You're kind of like choosing like a phone call with a video, like a video phone call. OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're you're kind of in between, like, social media and phone calls, you know, kind of the the combination of those two. All right, Erica, what about you? What's your preferred?00:07:47LaylaGive this up options.00:07:52LaylaYeah, exactly with video.00:08:08JackMethod of communication.00:08:10EricahUMI think there will be face to face but right and it's embarrassing. Yeah. Yeah. So mercy because you know.00:08:14JackOK.00:08:16JackYeah, that's one of the choices.00:08:23EricahIn terms of.00:08:24EricahTexting. Well, I can convey my feelings through texting, but I'm afraid.00:08:30EricahThat the the receiver will misunderstand my message, so I can't go with texting. So in the second option is phone calls and I really need phone calls because I feel like my voice is stuttering.00:08:47EricahAnd I don't like to hear my voice because it feels like I mean, it sounds like that really.00:08:56JackWait till you listen to the podcast episode.00:09:00EricahYeah. So that's why I prefer face to face communication like you know, you will see the body language. You can you can see the persons reaction to what you say. And I think it's more convenient to talk with each other in person because it can make us closer with the person you're talking to.00:09:07발표자Right.00:09:20EricahSo yes.00:09:22JackI'm going to agree with you. Actually, I'm going to go face to face also if I have a choice, you know, I I like to be in the same room with someone and sit down sitting down, having coffee, having a conversation there. To me, that's the highest level of communication where you don't misunderstand.00:09:43JackSomeone or there's no delay or bad connection or something. So it's just, you know, you're you're right there physically looking at someone, sharing time and space together. So I think but.00:10:01JackYou know the limitations of that is that you can't communicate with friends that live in other parts of the world, like the three of us right now are are talking from all over the planet. Right. OK. #4, which hobby appeals to you the most? A painting or drawing?00:10:07EricahWell, yes, of course.00:10:22JackI don't even need to finish the other three.00:10:23JackRight, Layla, I.00:10:25JackI'll. I'll still read, I'll read, I'll read them. But there's no reason to B playing a musical instrument, C cooking or baking or D playing sports.00:10:38JackSo yeah.00:10:38LaylaFor sure I will go with #1 because this is my hobby. This is my talent, so I will go to choose drawing and painting. Yeah, yeah.00:10:42발표자Right.00:10:52JackSure, of course.00:10:54JackFor for our listeners out there that don't know, Leila is an amazing artist. And so that's something that she does well. You do it as a hobby, but also professionally as well. So.00:11:06JackYeah, you're very talented. Very talented. Erica, I I don't know.00:11:07LaylaYou can say.00:11:12JackYou as well as I know, Layla. So I'm.00:11:15JackKind of curious, what is your answer?00:11:17JackWhat's your hobby?00:11:18EricahThe only one right I can choose.00:11:21JackChoose the one that you like the most, yeah.00:11:24EricahOK, I like the most well. I'm gonna go with the sports. You know, my head is cute. Like I'm only 411, but I really do love to play basketball.00:11:41EricahYeah, yeah.00:11:42JackYou're 411 and I'm, I'm.00:11:44Jack6 foot seven. So yeah, you're you'll be the point guard, I guess in our basketball game.00:11:51LaylaJust 10.00:11:56EricahI would love that.00:11:58JackYou you're a basketball player now for our listeners out there that don't know, I do know that Erica is an amazing singer. So I know that one that you close to sports I'm sure is singing right.00:12:05EricahSo no.00:12:14EricahYeah, but I don't know how to play musical instruments, though. Maybe you can teach me, Jack.00:12:18JackOK, OK. Well, you're.00:12:21JackI play a little bit of guitar, not very well, but.00:12:24EricahThat's very well, but I hear you're where you play the guitar earlier in the WhatsApp group.00:12:31JackIt's a it's one of those frustrating hobbies where I always want to be better, but I I I just, you know, you get stuck.00:12:39JackBut I would say, you know, your voice can be considered a musical instrument. I think. Right. I think that the voice. So I would say Erica's got her a wonderful singing voice and also she enjoys basketball. So that's that's pretty cool. I'll give you 2 answers. I'll.00:12:55EricahThere are things like that.00:12:57JackGive you 2 answers for that one.00:13:01JackFor me, I played.00:13:02JackBasketball for many years in high school and college. And but I got really burned out with with sports and so I exercise only for my health, but not because I enjoy it. I really don't enjoy it that much, but I do.00:13:20JackReally enjoy playing the guitar. It's one of those hobbies that you know is addictive.00:13:27JackOnce you start playing you, you just have to keep playing. Even though it's like I said, frustrating.00:13:34JackAlthough I'm sure lately.00:13:35JackYou probably get frustrated when drawing and painting.00:13:39LaylaYes, yes, exactly. Sometimes. But as you said, sometimes I just feel that I forgot about myself when I started drying. So I really enjoy it. But these days I don't.00:14:00LaylaDraw too much. I don't know why, man.00:14:02LaylaYeah, I am more into English and other stuff related English. So I mean, yeah, I agree with that.00:14:08JackNo, no one loves English as much as Layla.00:14:11JackLoves English. That's that's a little fact.00:14:13JackYeah, yeah, that's a fact. Yeah, but OK, good. OK, so we've got #4 and #5. What's your dream vacation destination? A A tropical beach resort.00:14:29JackBe a European cultural capital.00:14:33JackYou know, so.00:14:33JackLike a a big a big city in Europe, a sea mountain retreat or D.00:14:41JackA bustling city with a vibrant nightlife like you know, Bangkok or Los Angeles or New York or something like that.00:14:52LaylaI think I will go to choose the the option about Europe. I forgot it. I forgot about it.00:14:58JackA European capital cultural capital.00:15:02LaylaYeah, because I really love to know about, especially about the ancient of Europe. So until now they have a very special buildings and the.00:15:19LaylaUh, and the culture, so that would be one of the things that I want to more to know more about it and to explore it. So I will.00:15:29JackSo you would love you would I think you would love the architecture. You would love to go to the museums and see the paintings go to the Louvre.00:15:37JackIn Paris, you.00:15:38JackKnow something like that, right? Yeah.00:15:38EricahExactly. That's hardest for you.00:15:43LaylaSo I really want to go there.00:15:44JackYeah, Erica. Well, well.00:15:47JackYou're in the Philippines like it's a beach resort. Like the the most boring choice.00:15:53EricahNo, I don't enjoy beaches because you know, I don't know how to swim.00:15:59JackOhh you know how to swim? You live on a series of of islands, tiny islands and you don't know how to swim, OK?00:16:06EricahYeah. So I think and.00:16:09EricahYou is nice, but I will choose the bustling city you know in the nightlife because I think it's kind of, you know, a good experience for me because I haven't tried to have a night life before. So I went up.00:16:16JackYeah, yeah.00:16:28EricahI think it's one of.00:16:30EricahI think it's on my bucket list.00:16:33JackRight, right.00:16:34JackAnd for our listeners out there that don't know Erica is is quite a bit younger than Leila and I, Leyland me, so I that answer makes perfect sense to me. You know kind of which to me is is not I would it's the last place I want to go is to like a a club in a big city you know like.00:16:54JackBut when I was young, that would.00:16:56JackHave been my.00:16:57JackNumber one choice, you know, without a.00:16:59JackSo. So for me, I think I would really love to go to a tropical beach resort where I.00:17:08JackCan just I'm.00:17:08JackNot a I I hate the sun, but I, you know, under an umbrella, you know, sitting in a chair overlooking the beach with a nice pineapple juice or mango.00:17:18EricahI can imagine you.00:17:19JackHoney.

Layla, how are you?00:00:24LaylaI'm doing well, Jack. What about you?00:00:27JackI'm doing great. It's been a long time actually since we recorded an episode, so it's great to have you back on the show.00:00:34LaylaExactly. I miss those podcasts. They are so amazing. Yeah.00:00:44JackSo much fun doing it with you guys and we'll we'll start doing more episodes with with students from our WhatsApp group and well, actually, technically Leila is a teacher in our WhatsApp group, so I need to get my words my my vocabulary right here.00:01:02JackAll right. Yeah, of course. So, Leila, what I have is a fun little personality quiz, and I thought it would be fun for you and I to answer the questions and see if our answers are similar or different. So I'm going to start with #1 and you can answer first. So the first question is.00:01:02LaylaThank you, Jack.00:01:18LaylaOK.00:01:22JackIf you could have any superpower, which would you choose a invisibility?00:01:31JackB teleportation.00:01:34JackC Super strength or D mind reading.00:01:41LaylaOh, this is a tough question, but I think I will choose see super, super strong and just take the blow. Ohh string yes.00:01:53JackOhh you want super strength, OK?00:01:57JackAnd why? Why do you choose that?00:02:00LaylaUh, because now I am too weak physically. And so I think I have a really super strength. I would be able to do a lot of things and even my family will can don't get afraid that I will.00:02:21LaylaFor example, feel tired quickly when I do something, and even when I want to walk to go somewhere I would be.00:02:30LaylaThey broke.00:02:32LaylaTo do it for a long time because my power is enough to to support me, to push me to do it and I can protect myself from bad people when they try. Only when they want to do some bad thing to me.00:02:51JackI mean, you could, I'm thinking practically your your family could say, like Layla. Move that sofa over there. You could just pick it up with one hand, one arm, move it over.00:03:03JackBut you could protect your.00:03:05JackFamily from you know, you know bad people and and scare them away so.00:03:11LaylaYeah, because I need. I need their help all the time now. But I have that power. Maybe that super strength. I never need their help. They will need me.00:03:27JackYeah, I I like that. I like that. I'm looking at the list here, and I'm looking at a super strength.00:03:32JackWould be nice I.00:03:33JackWould like that. I'm not very strong.00:03:35JackI mean I'm I'm.00:03:37JackI'm OK. Like I'm strong enough. I think so.00:03:40JackUM, it's OK, but uhm mind reading would be kind of terrible, I think. Like.00:03:48JackI don't want.00:03:48JackTo know what people are thinking. I'm sure they're thinking horrible things sometimes, right? So.00:03:56LaylaYes, so that.00:03:58LaylaWill not make make us feel comfortable. We will be happy.00:04:02JackHappy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Actually, it'll make us sad.00:04:06JackIf people if I really knew what people think.00:04:08JackAbout me, I might. I might not want to.00:04:10JackKnow that I think ignorance is bliss, you know.00:04:11LaylaEspecially especially about people that we love.00:04:17JackRight, right. Yeah, what?00:04:19JackI don't want I. I don't want to read.00:04:22JackMinds. I'm I'm I'm stuck between.00:04:25JackTeleportation and invisibility. Invisibility is just kind of useless, though I don't really think it's really helpful. I mean, unless I wanna do some like really bad things like rob a bank or something.00:04:37JackI suppose that would be good, but but it's not the right thing to do, so I would I would choose be teleportation because I really, really hate flying.00:04:50JackLike I hate and I hate driving. So if I could snap my fingers and be to work or snap my fingers and be in America that you know to visit my family, I think that would be amazing and not have to sit in an airplane for 17 hours.00:05:11LaylaExactly. Ohh, Jack, I think you started convince me to change my my end.00:05:16JackNow you're thinking.00:05:17JackYeah. What's that? Super strength is not looking so good now, right? Yeah. OK. Alright, #2.00:05:26JackWhat's your ideal way to spend a weekend?00:05:31JackA exploring a new city.00:05:35JackB. Relaxing at home with a good book.00:05:39JackOr a movie.00:05:40JackSee an outdoor adventure like a hike or going camping.00:05:47JackOr Dee socializing with friends at a party or an event.00:05:56LaylaI just want to remember the first one I think.00:05:59JackExploring a new city.00:06:02LaylaI think I will go with the with Ellie exploring a new city I because I have.00:06:11LaylaI don't have enough experience about even the city where I live, so I think I really need that experience.00:06:22LaylaSo I will go with the with a.00:06:25JackYeah, that's a good answer. I was thinking the same thing. Umm, if I could combine teleportation and exploring a new city, that would be amazing. Like I could just be in Malaysia. I could be in Dubai and then I could spend the weekend exploring. But if I have to travel somewhere.00:06:45JackI don't I.00:06:46JackI need more time than a weekend, you know, like so for me.00:06:52JackAnd hiking? I don't like hiking and camping.00:06:56JackI hate it.00:06:57JackI don't want to sleep on the ground. It's not comfortable going to a party. Sounds horrible to me, like I do not want to do that at all, but.00:07:08LaylaYeah, I agree with you about that.00:07:11JackI think relaxing at home with a good book, a movie or a podcast. That's what I like. You know, staying at home, listening to a podcast or even recording a podcast. That's like what I really love to do. So.00:07:27JackOK.00:07:29JackAlright, we're not.00:07:30JackWe're not really lining up here, but.00:07:33JackBut you have some good answers.00:07:36Jack#3 if you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be? A Leonardo da Vinci.00:07:47JackB Marie Curie.00:07:50JackC Albert Einstein or D Leopard etra.00:07:57LaylaOhh, I think in my case for sure I will go with a because I want to know more about Leonardo Davinci, how he became a really or maybe a very famous artist and.00:08:03JackI knew it.00:08:15LaylaA lot of things that I want to know about him, about art, so.00:08:23LaylaI I would. I would like to have this opportunity, if I could.00:08:28JackAnd not only was he a painter and.00:08:29LaylaYes. Yeah.00:08:32JackHe was also an.00:08:33JackEngineer he like, made blueprints of machines and all kinds of he was amazing. He was an A brilliant guy, yeah.00:08:40LaylaYes, so.00:08:42LaylaMaybe he can teach me how to be, or maybe what?00:08:48LaylaThe Magic Key to be like him.00:08:52JackRight. And you're an.00:08:52JackArtist. So I mean, before our listeners out there that don't know, Layla is an amazing English student and an amazing speaker, a great teacher, and she is also a very talented artist. So you you have met you, we say in English, you wear many hats. We say you have.00:09:11LaylaThank you so much. You really gave me a lot of compliment today.00:09:11JackThese skills.00:09:15JackWell, it's all true. It's all true. I, you know, I'm not an artist, so.00:09:22JackI I would probably I'm not going to go with da Vinci. Marie Curie. I'm scared. I don't want to get radiation poisoning. So I want to stay. Stay away from Marie Curie. Einstein would be interesting, but I think he's so.00:09:42JackHe's he's so such a like a genius. Like, I don't know if I could even understand him, you know? So I would probably not choose Einstein but Cleopatra.00:09:56JackSeems interesting to me because.00:09:58JackIs, you know, she she was a ruler. And I I don't think there's a lot of we don't we there's a lot that we don't know about her so maybe I could learn something new about that that period of time so.00:10:14JackYeah, I think I would choose Cleopatra. I just hope that she wouldn't, like, you know, kill me or something like that. Have the military kill me.00:10:21LaylaNo, no.00:10:24JackOK, #4, what's your go to comfort?00:10:29JackFood a ice cream, B pizza, C chocolate D macaroni and cheese and I.00:10:39LaylaOhh now as I am not I didn't eat my breakfast yet, so I think I will go with choose pizza because even pizza is one of my favorite food so I'm hungry so I need to eat something.00:10:39JackKnow the answer already.00:11:00LaylaI just imagine that I am eating pizza. Ohh, it would be wonderful.00:11:05JackOK, I thought.00:11:06JackFor sure, you were gonna say chocolate, but that's that's very interesting. OK, cause I know you're you love chocolate. I know that.00:11:16LaylaExactly. But now, uh, I am hungry. And when I'm hungry, I prefer to eat something salty. Or maybe how to say that or maybe say very yes.00:11:25JackSavory, yeah.00:11:30발표자OK.00:11:30LaylaAnd it did that. It's one of my favorite food. So yeah, I love it so much.00:11:35JackOK. OK. Well, you know what? I'm I'm with you 100%. I would love a a slice of New York pizza. Oh, my gosh. Just the grease and the the oiliness of it. The, the the saltiness, the savory, the cheese, the bread.00:11:55JackIt's perfect. Yeah, but that's what call it comfort food. It's not to make you healthy. It's to make you feel comfortable. So.00:12:04LaylaExactly and happy.00:12:05JackYeah, yeah. To make you happy. Exactly. OK. All right. Here's our last question.00:12:12JackIf you were an animal, what animal would you be? A an owl?00:12:17JackBe a cat.00:12:19JackSee a dolphin or D an elephant?00:12:24LaylaOhh, this is not uh difficult for me because I will go to choose to be with cat. I love cats and they are so adorable. And yeah, when I was a kid I I had a lot of cats and I played with them.00:12:33JackKnew that.00:12:46LaylaMost of the time, but not now because I am not.00:12:50LaylaI don't have enough time to take care of them, but I really love to see them to play with them, even when I just see them in the park or in some somewhere. So yeah, I will go to choose class.00:13:04발표자I think that that.00:13:05JackLines up with your personality, too, because you're you're you strike me as a person who can be alone or.00:13:12JackWith people and you're satisfied. You know how dogs need people. They're so needy. But a cat is like is OK with people.00:13:21JackAlso OK.00:13:22JackAlone, and you seem like that matches your personality, am I correct?00:13:27LaylaYeah. Yes, you're incorrect, Jack. About it.00:13:30JackYeah, yeah. I would be a dolphin because they never stopped moving. You know, I'm always doing something podcast, you know, teaching in our WhatsApp group, doing posting something on Facebook. I'm just always. I'm always working.00:13:50JackAnd going and going and going.00:13:52JackAnd I feel.00:13:53JackLike that matches a kind of Dolphins personality. They just never sit still. They just keep going and keep going so.00:14:00LaylaExactly. And they are so smart.00:14:00JackYou know, yeah.00:14:04JackThey are. They are smart too. I I'm giving myself a little bit of of credit here that maybe I don't deserve, but.00:14:12LaylaNo, no, no. You deserve it.00:14:16JackAll right.
