Xochitl and Jack discuss the pros and cons of having unlimited data versus always having the newest phone model. They also mention iPhone vs Android and invite listeners to share their preference. The episode ends with contact information and a goodbye.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack is joined by Layla, May, and Hendrik as they decide whether the people in the situations are Karens or not Karens."Karen" is a slang term that has become popular in contemporary culture to describe a certain type of person who exhibits entitled, demanding, and often obnoxious behavior. The term is typically used to refer to women (though it can also apply to men) who display a sense of entitlement, often accompanied by a willingness to complain loudly, make unreasonable demands, and seek to speak to managers or authorities to get their way.The Upgraded Outburst: On a fully booked flight, a woman named Karen arrived at her economy seat only to notice that the first-class section had some empty seats. She demanded that the flight attendant upgrade her to first class, claiming she deserved it due to her loyalty to the airline. When the flight attendant explained that the first-class seats were available for purchase or for frequent flyer members with the necessary status, Karen began to loudly berate the crew, accusing them of mistreating her and threatening to report the airline to the authorities for "unfair treatment."The Window Shade War: During a daytime flight, Karen was seated by the window. The passenger in the aisle seat preferred to keep the window shade open to enjoy the view, while Karen wanted it closed to watch a movie on her tablet. Despite the passenger's polite refusal to close the shade, Karen became increasingly agitated. She repeatedly reached over and forcefully attempted to close the shade herself, causing a tense confrontation between her and the passenger. The flight attendants had to intervene to mediate the situation and remind Karen of the importance of respecting fellow passengers' preferences.The Turbulence Tantrum: While experiencing moderate turbulence, Karen became frightened and demanded that the flight attendants "do something" to stop the plane from shaking. When the crew explained that turbulence is a natural and common occurrence, she refused to listen and insisted that they find a way to make it stop. Her anxiety escalated into a full-blown tantrum, with Karen yelling at the crew to "make the pilot fly smoother" and accusing them of not caring about passengers' safety. Other passengers had to reassure her and explain the normalcy of turbulence, while flight attendants tried to maintain order amidst her outburst.Podcast Website: https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-quick-tok-30-so-many-karens/Social Media:Tik Tok:@atozenglish1------------------------Instagram:@atozenglish22------------------------Twitter:@atozenglish22------------------------A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out the Free Online English Lessons YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

In this Quick Tok episode, Jack discusses three very interesting stories about Iran.Story 1: The Persian Carpet MysteryIn the heart of Iran, the ancient city of Kashan is renowned for its intricate Persian carpets. One day, an American art collector stumbled upon a unique carpet in a local market. It was woven with exquisite craftsmanship and depicted scenes of daily life from ancient Persia. Intrigued, the collector purchased the carpet and took it back to the United States.Over the years, experts and historians began to study the carpet, which seemed to contain hidden messages and symbols. Some believed that the carpet held clues to a long-lost treasure, while others thought it might be a map to an undiscovered archaeological site. The mystery attracted attention worldwide, with scholars and enthusiasts deciphering the patterns and symbols.Eventually, after years of research, it was revealed that the carpet was indeed an intricate puzzle created by a group of artists as a homage to Persian culture and history. While it didn't lead to a physical treasure, the carpet itself became a treasure of art and cultural heritage. The story remains an example of how the allure of the unknown can captivate the imagination and lead to unexpected discoveries.Story 2: The Rainbow Mosque of ShirazNestled in the city of Shiraz stands an awe-inspiring mosque that has gained fame for its unique architecture and vibrant colors. Known as the "Rainbow Mosque," its exterior is adorned with a mosaic of colorful tiles, creating a stunning rainbow effect when sunlight hits its façade. The mosque's interior is equally breathtaking, with intricate tile work and stained glass windows casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the prayer halls.The Rainbow Mosque was the brainchild of a visionary Iranian architect who aimed to promote unity and inclusivity through architecture. Each color in the rainbow was chosen to represent a different cultural or religious group, symbolizing harmony and coexistence. The mosque has become a symbol of Iran's rich cultural diversity and the importance of embracing differences.Story 3: The Persepolis RevivalPersepolis, an ancient city in Iran, was once the glorious capital of the Achaemenid Empire. It was known for its grand architecture, sprawling palaces, and intricate carvings. However, over centuries, the city fell into ruins due to various factors including wars and natural disasters.In recent years, a dedicated team of archaeologists, historians, and artisans embarked on an ambitious project to revive Persepolis. Using advanced technologies like 3D scanning and computer simulations, they meticulously recreated parts of the city's structures and carvings. Skilled artisans were employed to replicate the intricate details of the original artwork.The revival project aimed not to completely rebuild the city, but to provide visitors with a glimpse into its former glory. The effort has not only brought back some of Persepolis' grandeur but has also contributed to a deeper understanding of ancient Persian culture and architecture.These stories offer a glimpse into Iran's rich history, culture, and creativity, showcasing the nation's ability to captivate the world with its mysteries, artistry, and aspirations.Podcast Website: https://atozenglishpodcast.com/quick-tok-28-3-intriguing-stories-about-iran/Social Media:Tik Tok:@atozenglish1------------------------Instagram:@atozenglish22------------------------Twitter:@atozenglish22------------------------A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out the Free Online English Lessons YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.
