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.

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.

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.

So it's a great album because it was iconic.00:02:54XochitlIn the time period that it was that it came out for and.00:02:58JackSo what was the time period when? What are?00:03:00XochitlIt came out in like the 20 tens, I believe.00:03:00JackWe talking here?00:03:03JackOhh. OK OK. This is not like I.00:03:05JackThought you were like 1970s or 80s, OK?00:03:05XochitlNo it.00:03:07XochitlNo, no, it was just iconic for the 20 tens because it was like a shift in.00:03:12XochitlThe genre they're they're genre sort of Mexican music was like a very indie style. That was kind of unheard of at the time. So I think that's.00:03:22XochitlLike a big shift.00:03:23XochitlAnd fifth one.00:03:30XochitlUh, my God, I'm battling here.00:03:33JackI know the fifth one is always the hardest one because it's like you're excluding 100 other ones that you love, you know.00:03:42XochitlThat's the hard part about it.00:03:48XochitlI think.00:03:51Xochitl80 Gourmet and trio Los Panchos so 80 gourmet. I guess her her English name is 80 Gorm. She's a she's an English speaking singer. I believe she's from the US and she made a an A Spanish album. Spanish speaking album with trio.00:04:10XochitlSponges, which is like a.00:04:11XochitlMariachi group.00:04:12XochitlAnd she did a bunch of classics like Salami and Bill Canela and like.00:04:18XochitlAll these boleros bolero.00:04:19XochitlWhich is a genre I was talking about.00:04:21XochitlEarlier, she did a bunch of these songs in this genre with this group, Joe punches and I.00:04:29XochitlIt's beautiful, absolutely beautiful album.00:04:33XochitlYeah. So I'm going to have to go. Yeah. That was like from the 50s. Probably. Yeah.00:04:34발표자OK.00:04:38JackYeah. And we can get a a good feeling here for your musical. I think musical taste like you. Definitely. Yeah. Well, it was female, you know, like, like, Latino. Sorry. Latina kind of singers. Yeah.00:04:45XochitlYeah, it's all women like.00:04:57JackBut it's it's very popular right now too. So very, very beautiful.00:05:04JackAlright, so it's my.00:05:05XochitlTurn now. Yes, it's your turn.00:05:07JackOK. All right. We're going to go old school here 9. We're going to go all the way.00:05:11JackBack to 1994 Nirvana.00:05:16JackMTV plug.00:05:16XochitlOhh my. That was gonna be that was it was.00:05:19XochitlHard cause I left that one.00:05:20XochitlOff of mine.00:05:21XochitlBut it was hard to leave it.00:05:23XochitlOff, yeah.00:05:23JackOh, I love that album and I can, you know, it's like, these are all albums that on my list that I can listen to all the.00:05:32JackWay through from front to back.00:05:34JackLike I don't skip one song on the on the album, which is weird because I usually used to buy albums and then I would listen to one or two tracks. You know the the title tracks or the title track and then maybe at the singles and I would never listen to the kind of the the other songs on the album.00:05:54JackBut I love all of the songs on this album, so MTV 1994, I believe, Nirvana, MTV Unplugged, #2.00:06:06JackIs Alice In Chains MTV Unplugged, which is? And if, if our listeners don't know Alice In Chains, was a kind of heavy metal grunge rock band from Seattle in the early 1990s.00:06:26JackAnd the unfortunately, the lead singer, Lane Staley, died of a drug overdose. Quite.00:06:34JackA few years ago.00:06:36XochitlRight on.00:06:37JackYeah, it was really terrible. He suffered a a bad drug addiction, like so many artists do. And so yeah, but that they did an MTV unplugged session that had all such great kind of acoustic versions of their.00:06:56JackAmazing songs. So I love that album #3 is Weezer is a band and they have their very first album. Was this blue album. It's like a blue. It's almost like solid blue.00:07:14JackCD OK like the it's just a solid blue color and it says Weezer or something and that whole album I can listen to all the way through and I I love that album. It's just a a brilliant, brilliant album.00:07:35JackDo you know Weezer? Do you ever listen to Weezer?00:07:39발표자There's still.00:07:41XochitlI think I I I've I've heard of them, but I don't. I couldn't say. Oh, I know that song or something, but I think I'm sure that if you played a song of them, I would probably recognize it.00:07:44JackOK, OK.00:07:51JackYeah, I think maybe our only crossover here in this Venn diagram between the two of us is Nirvana. I think it's it's probably, but.00:08:00XochitlYeah, that album specifically.00:08:02JackYeah, #4, my fourth album is a kind of a weird choice, like a lot of people wouldn't wouldn't understand this choice, but.00:08:13JackIt's a. It's a. It's a single guy. Who? It. It sounds like a band, but it's actually just one guy and it's he's called badly drawn boy. And he did a soundtrack for the movie about a boy, which came out about 1819 years ago.00:08:35JackIt's based on a A, a novel, and the movie is fantastic. I love it about a boy, but the the songs that he wrote for that album I can listen to that album all the way through. I just love it and I just think it's amazing. So I.00:08:54JackThat's my number four album. Is the soundtrack to the movie about a boy by the artist, badly drawn boy.00:09:04JackAnd #5, I'm going to go, Bob Dylan, blonde on blonde, and that's probably his most famous album. It's got all the hits in there, but I can listen to that album over. I could listen to it multiple times in a row, just on a road trip. I'll hit play.00:09:24JackListen to the whole album. Go back to the beginning, listen to it again and find new things in there that are more interesting.00:09:31JackUh. And so I I really, really love that album. So Bob Dylan blonde on blonde and I miss you.00:09:40JackKnow I didn't put any Beatles in there.00:09:41XochitlBob Dylan is another one. My dad listened to as well. So.00:09:45JackYeah, I'm. I'm sure your dad.00:09:45XochitlI am familiar.00:09:46JackAnd I probably have more more musical.00:09:48XochitlYeah, I mean, I was introduced.00:09:49JackTaste or something? Yeah.00:09:51XochitlTo Nirvana by my dad and then Bob Dylan. Also, my dad listened to a lot. So.00:09:59XochitlI'm familiar with Bob Dylan.00:10:00JackOhh. Your dad listened to Nirvana as well.00:10:03XochitlYeah, my dad also did listen to Nirvana.00:10:05JackWow, OK, you dance cool. My dad listened to The Beach Boys and The Beatles.00:10:12JackYou know that kind of that era? So he's my dad's a bit older than your dad though, so.00:10:17XochitlYeah, your dad's my dad's.00:10:20XochitlYeah, my dad's, like, between your dad and your age, right, I guess.00:10:25JackYeah, he's like one generation. Well, he's like an old.00:10:28JackGen. Xer right?00:10:30XochitlYeah, he's like a really old Gen. Xer or like a.00:10:33XochitlReally young boomer.00:10:35JackRight, right. My dad's a straight up boomer all the way, yeah.00:10:42XochitlYeah. All right, listeners. Well, I am actually really interested to hear what your five favorite albums are, because I'm. I'm curious. I want to hear all these international music, because our listeners must have a lot. And I also want to know if you have any favorite English language albums. I think that would be really neat to know.00:11:04XochitlAnd do you find that English or that music is a way?00:11:09XochitlThat you can learn English, so that helps you learn English.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack take a random online quiz.Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:12JackWelcome to the agency English podcast. My name is Jack, and today I'm with my co-host, social. And we are doing.00:00:20JackWe are taking a fun personality quiz and so social. I have several questions that we can go through, and then there's a menu of items that you can choose like there. There are answers you can choose. And I thought it'd be kind of funny or fun.00:00:40JackTo see what our answers are to these questions. So.00:00:44JackSo #1 is, if you had to live alone on a deserted island with only one item, what would it be your favorite novel?00:00:57JackA fishing pole.00:00:59JackA 50 LB. Bag of rice or a box of matches. Which of those?00:01:05JackFour, would you take?00:01:18XochitlI would take.00:01:22XochitlThe 50 LB. Bag of rice.00:01:26JackOK, OK.00:01:26XochitlBecause Bryce doesn't spoil quickly.00:01:30XochitlUM and.00:01:33XochitlI know I can build a fire like from scratch and.00:01:40XochitlI think I would eventually be able to make some kind of fishing rod to supplement the rice or something, or a net, you know, but I think that.00:01:52XochitlYou would need something to sustain yourself while you are.00:02:00XochitlGetting everything else in order and that 50 LB. Bag of rice can take you a long way.00:02:06JackHow how are you gonna boil that rice, though?00:02:08JackWithout a pot.00:02:10XochitlWell, you can make a makeshift pot way more easily than you can get anything else.00:02:16JackLike a coconut kind of coconut pot? Yeah.00:02:18XochitlYeah, I just put a coconut and.00:02:19XochitlFill it with the sea water.00:02:21XochitlAnd uh, boil that on the stove, you know? Well, on the on some sticks. Fire stick, you know.00:02:28JackDo you know how to make do you?00:02:28XochitlWhat I mean?00:02:29JackKnow how to make a fire without?00:02:32JackYou know, like, naturally, with without any.00:02:34XochitlYeah, there's a couple methods. I mean, I'm sure you know.00:02:36XochitlThe how to right?00:02:38JackI know that like stick one, but I'm afraid that I would never be able to do it, so I chose DA box of matches because I feel like.00:02:49JackAlthough if they get wet, they're useless. But if they're dry, I'm assuming they're dry matches. Then I can use those to build a fire and maybe make like a smoke screen. You know, smoke signal. So that like a ship will know that I'm stranded on.00:02:51XochitlYeah. Then yeah.00:03:09JackOn this island.00:03:10JackBut if I don't get rescued, I'm in big trouble unless I go catch some fish or some crab or something out there on the beach in the water.00:03:20XochitlRight. Yeah, I there's like those stone method and the stick method and I think I would eventually be able to recreate it.00:03:29JackOK.00:03:29XochitlAnd I have enough faith.00:03:30XochitlIn myself to uh for the 50 LB. Bag of rice.00:03:35JackRight. I mean that's that's a bold statement that because starting a fire, I don't know, it seems very difficult, but if you could get that fire.00:03:44JackGoing I'm sitting over there with my fire. Hungry. As you know, super hungry and you're, you know, got your fire and a 50 LB bag of rice so.00:03:55JackYou're in a better situation.00:03:56XochitlI mean, ideally if we if.00:03:58XochitlYou're here. You have to be alone. But if you're on the island together and you brought your matches and I brought my rice.00:04:03XochitlSo we'd be set pretty much so.00:04:05JackYeah, yeah, it will be all good. Yeah, we'll we'll be sick of eating rice, but it'll be OK.00:04:11XochitlYeah, well, it'll sustain.00:04:13XochitlUs long enough to catch some fish in the ocean or something, so yeah.00:04:16JackI mean, it's better better than reading war and peace for the 15th time or something like that, at least.00:04:21XochitlRight. And it's like, what are you?00:04:23XochitlEat the novel when?00:04:24XochitlYou're starving with.00:04:25JackRight. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's toilet paper that. That's what.00:04:31JackIt would be good.00:04:32JackFor yeah.00:04:32XochitlThat's true.00:04:36Jack#2. All right, our second one, we're only going to do five of these. So I think, yeah, we tried to do all 10 questions we may be here a long time. #2, which suit food sounds the most appealing to you.00:04:41XochitlOK.00:04:53JackA creme brulee B potato chips, C scrambled eggs or D broccoli casserole.00:05:06JackI'm going to be shocked if you say D.00:05:09XochitlEasy at broccoli casserole. Creme brulee, scrambled eggs, potato chips. And what was the other one? One.00:05:14JackThose words? That's the four. There's only four.00:05:17XochitlOh, there are only four, OK?00:05:18발표자Well, damn.00:05:22XochitlJust the.00:05:23XochitlMost appealing like what I'd like right now.00:05:27XochitlOK, then creme brulee, probably I could go for a nice dessert. I already had my dinner. So a nice crispy. I like the texture of crumbling because I like the creaminess and the crispy top for our listeners who don't know what creme brulee is, it's just like.00:05:42JackThat includes me. I don't know what creme.00:05:44XochitlBrulee is you don't know what Creme brulee is. It's a preemie like custard. Dessert and then it has like sugar on top and they slam bathe the sugar. So they use like a fire torch to burn the sugar on the top. And it makes a ********* surface. And then.00:06:00XochitlSo pack it with a spoon and.00:06:01XochitlAnd you get to.00:06:02XochitlEat like the.00:06:04XochitlKind of burnt burnt sugar with the custard inside. Yeah, it's really.00:06:04JackThe custardy inside.00:06:07JackOK, OK.00:06:10JackThat sound, I mean, that sounds wonderful.00:06:14JackI don't know. It's it's morning where I am right now. So for me, I'm really. I'm really eyeing those scrambled eggs. I'm thinking just some nice scrambled eggs, lots of protein, low carbohydrate, healthy, healthy food. But.00:06:33JackYou know, if I just eating dinner, then I probably would agree with you that the creme brulee sounds amazing. Like custard dessert.00:06:44JackCan't complain, yeah.00:06:47JackAll right, so #3.00:06:50JackWhat do you think would be the prettiest color combination? I know you like this one.00:06:58JackA green and yellow.00:07:00JackB. Pink and red.00:07:04JackSee green and white.00:07:06JackOr D blue and brown.00:07:13XochitlYou know, even though blue is my favorite color, I'm gonna go with green and white because green is my second favorite color. And I think you could do a lot with green and white because the green could be any tone and complement the white.00:07:29JackYeah, that's true. It could.00:07:30JackBe like a pine green or a a light green, yeah.00:07:32XochitlOr mint.00:07:35XochitlBut with the other colors.00:07:39XochitlIt's kind of hard to get them to complement each other. You'd have to think about the exact tones, like a lot more carefully. I mean, maybe the blue and brown, because brown is like a neutral tone, but I'm not a huge fan of Brown.00:07:52XochitlSo yeah, how about you, Jack?00:07:55JackYeah, I was. I I find it.00:07:57JackWeird when people say my favorite.00:07:58JackColor is brown. It's such a like.00:08:01JackLook, so I'm thinking green and white. Boston Celtics. I mean, the NBA team, Green and yellow, the, you know, the Green Bay Packers, the enemies of the Minnesota Vikings, NFL football team. So that's off the table.00:08:02XochitlI know, yeah.00:08:21JackThe Celtics are cool, green and white, pink and red. You know, that's that's kind of like would be my wife'll, you know, choice probably blue and brown. No, thank you. You know what I think a green and white flag shirt would look, really.00:08:40JackCool. So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna agree with you 100% and go see green and white.00:08:48XochitlBring mail.00:08:48JackAbsolutely. Of those choices, there are better color combinations. But of those choices.00:08:51XochitlYes, yeah. But they made it hard for us.00:08:54XochitlOn those choices.00:08:55JackYeah, yeah, they gave.00:08:56JackUs good. That's actually a really good question.00:08:59JackOK, #4.00:09:01JackWhat is the item of clothing that you have the most of? Scarves. Shoes.00:09:15XochitlStarted she just socks jackets. This is hard because I am a clothing collector. Basically, I have a lot of shoes and a lot of clothes.00:09:27JackAnd let's say.00:09:27XochitlThat's like.00:09:28JackPairs of socks, not just individual socks, because.00:09:31JackYeah, that would skew the survey. I think if we just count our socks.00:09:35XochitlRight.00:09:36XochitlRay, I I'm going to rule out socks because I lose them all the time. Also, my dog steals them and hordes hordes my socks. He doesn't chew them, he just steals them and keeps them in a little pile under his bed. I don't know why.00:09:49JackI just find that they disappear and I have no idea where they go and it it's it's me crazy because it's like.00:09:55XochitlMine also disappear, but my dog also hoards them, so I know in.00:09:59XochitlPart where they go anyway.00:10:02XochitlI've definitely outlined scarves because I'm not a big scarf. I'm not a big accessory person in general shoes and jackets, I'm going to say I probably have more shoes and jackets cause I have shoes.00:10:14XochitlDoes that still fit me? Going back from middle school because I kind of stopped growing.00:10:21XochitlNo, I still.00:10:21XochitlGrew but my feet didn't really grow.00:10:23XochitlAnymore after middle school.00:10:25JackOh, wow. So you have a.00:10:26JackLot of shoes then.00:10:27XochitlYeah, I have tons of shoes that like are still in good condition, like boots like high quality boots and stuff that I can still wear from that time. So I have tons of shoes. Yeah, that's what I have the.00:10:28발표자OK.00:10:38XochitlMost of how about you?00:10:38발표자OK.00:10:40JackYeah. So I have like a reasonable number of socks, you know, pairs of socks that are, it's not overwhelming. And I have, you know, 3-2 or three scarves that I wear. But I usually just wear my one red scarf that it's my favorite and.00:11:00JackShoes. I don't have a lot of shoes because I tend to just buy what I need, so I buy them, wear them out, and then buy another.00:11:08JackThere. So I'm not a big like, you know, sneaker guy with like 20-5 pairs of sneakers in my in the closet. So. But my one addiction is jackets. I'm. I'm a big jacket guy. I love fall jackets. So I have a a regular Jean jacket. I have a black Jean jacket.00:11:29JackI've got.00:11:33JackWhat's the other one? A bomber jacket. I've got kind of China cut jacket, which is.00:11:40JackThe has no collar.00:11:42JackAnd it's kind of a it's a faux leather, it's not a real leather jacket.00:11:47JackAnd and I've got.00:11:48JackLike maybe four or five other.00:11:50JackJackets on top of that.00:11:52JackSo I probably have like 10 different jackets.00:11:55JackAnd I would say that is my kind of addiction. And The funny thing is, in Korea never get to wear them because fall is like 10 minutes long. In Korea, it goes from like summer to winter in literally like a week. So and then in the spring, it just gets warm.00:12:15JackReally quickly. And so it's like there's no opportunity to wear these jackets that I love these fall jackets. So it's kind of ironic that I own so many and yet I don't wear them for years at a.00:12:31XochitlYeah, especially you're in Seoul, right? So.00:12:34JackI'm in Gyeonggi, the suburbs of Seoul.00:12:37XochitlYeah.

Over the years I'm I'm getting the feeling you might know some of these.00:00:52XochitlBut we'll give it our best.00:00:53JackWhat about hip and cool and my hip?00:00:56XochitlNo, we'll give it our best shot anyway.00:01:01XochitlOK, no cap. Do you know what the meaning of no cap is?00:01:05JackOh, no cab.00:01:08XochitlAnd I can use it in a sentence if you want me to.00:01:12JackOh, you know what? I just looked this up the other day because I I heard it and I don't know what it I I couldn't remember what it mean. What it means. No, no cap means.00:01:22JackNo, no, I'm sorry I'm confusing it with mid.00:01:26JackUM.00:01:29JackNo cap.00:01:31JackGosh, I knew this one. Can you use it in?00:01:33JackA sentence give me a hint.00:01:34XochitlYeah, this would be. I think it'll make it easy for you to tell no cap so.00:01:37JackOK.00:01:44XochitlJack, your beanie looks really cool. No cap.00:01:49JackOhh no cap.00:01:52JackIt means I'm.

What's the?00:02:03XochitlWhat's the etymology behind no cap? I actually don't know. I'm going to look it up. No cap thermology.00:02:09JackOK.00:02:11JackNo cap.00:02:13XochitlIts origin in reference to caps for teeth that can be removed and therefore are considered inauthentic.00:02:20JackAh, OK.00:02:24JackInteresting. So this is very much like.00:02:27JackIn the.00:02:29JackThe culture of young people like Generation Z. Yeah. If I said this to my father. I'm like dad. I love you. No, cap. He would be like.00:02:33XochitlOh yeah.00:02:39JackI love you too, son, and I don't know what you're talking about. You know, it's, uh, we. I've never heard that expression. But I I have heard it before, but I didn't know what it meant. So you just taught me a new one there. No cap.00:02:54XochitlNo camp, OK?00:02:56XochitlThe next one is Ritz R.00:03:00XochitlIZZZ.00:03:09JackOK. Is is that the sound that a race car makes, races, races.00:03:16JackNot even close, right, Riz, Riz.00:03:21JackUh, I I I don't even think I can guess this one.
