Hey there, citizens of the world! Welcome to the Real Life Podcast, where our
mission is to inspire, connect and empower the world to learn English the fun,

inspiring, enriching lifestyle that you can practice and enjoy whenever and
wherever you want.

In this podcast you will have lots of fun, learn plenty of new expressions, and
drastically improve your listening comprehension.

We'll also teach you the secrets of native pronunciation, connected speech,
and help you tune in your listening and speaking to the rhythm and flow of
English.

So sit back, relax, and let's get on with the show.

CHAD: It is. Hopefully, uh, it seems like

he's learning a lot, I think this is really
cool, he actually mentioned the

think it's cool how he connected that to

Woah, Woah
2. interesting: intr-esting

CHAD: So, Justin, I believe you've 3. teaching him: teaching-im

found an interesting2 news story 4. how to: how-duh
related to your experience with Van
Damme? 5. the word got out: this means is no
longer of private knowledge and
secret and now people know about it.
JUSTIN: Yes, I did. Actually, Van
Damme, I was teaching him3 how to4
break walnuts over his head, and
apparently the word got out5 and
somebody broke the Guinness Book of
world records for most walnuts
smashed6 on their head.
6. smash: to make something impact
on a surface with so much force that

case? 11. article: ar-dicle

12. break a record/smash a record:

JUSTIN: "Man breaks record12 for
smashing most walnuts with his head"
CHAD: Wow. Again, they're using that
word, smashing the record12.
JUSTIN: We say that a lot13. It's a
common collocation14, right?
CHAD: It is, especially for records.
JUSTIN: To smash the record.
to break a record is to surpass a
record previously set by someone
else. To smash it is not only to break
it, but to do it by a large margin.
13. that a lot: thad-ah-lot
14. collocation: a group of different
words that people have the tendency
to use together. Sometimes,
collocations dont make sense if we
analyze the different words
separately.

15. So, to smash: so-duh-smash

CHAD: Yeah. So, to smash15 would be
to just break, but more than- it's
16. annihilate: to destroy.
emphasized, not just to break, it's to, I
think I've even used the same word in
the previous podcast, to annihilate16. 17. crush: (verb) to demolish, to
destroy.

JUSTIN: Yeah. To break it, to smash it, 18. whats the deal: whats the
to crush17 it. It just goes everywhere. situation?
Breaks, but it...

CHAD: So, where's this guy from,

what's the deal18 here, why did he do
this?
19. headbutt
JUSTIN: So, "Mohammad Rashid
headbutts19 his way through20 155
walnuts in one minute at Punjab Youth
Festival, Pakistan."

CHAD: Wow, awesome. So, he

headbutts his way through 150
walnuts. What do you mean by
"headbutt?"
JUSTIN: Headbutt is when, actually,
the term normally is when two people,
like, it's almost like when you're
fighting, you headbutt somebody, you
hit your head on their head.
20. ones way though: this
collocation can be used to talk about
how someone achieved something.
Ex, he worked his way to the
presidency, he pushed his way
through the crowd or he cheated his
way through to win the competition.

CHAD: Yeah, it's probably a Van

Damme move, right?

JUSTIN: Yeah, you know, I mean, I

taught Van Damme a few of those
moves before.

CHAD: A few headbutts?

JUSTIN: Yeah.

CHAD: Ok. So, it's like to punch21 21. punch

someone with your head.

JUSTIN: Yeah, pretty much. You do

this in capoeira though, don't you?

CHAD: A little bit, yeah, yeah.

JUSTIN: Capoeira is the Brazilian sport,

martial art, that Chad has
participated22 in. 22. participated: partici-paded

CHAD: Yeah. I wonder23 if people

actually know what a walnut is. For 23. wonder: (verb) to ask oneself.
example, the reason why this is so 24. kind of: kinda
impressive is because a walnut is like a
nut, kind of24 like a peanut25, or a
cashew nut26, but it has this really
strong casing27 around, so it's really 25. peanut
hard to crack the nut.

JUSTIN: And these ones are really big

nuts28, too.
26. cashew nut
CHAD: They are. (laughing)

JUSTIN: They're big walnuts.

CHAD: You like them29 big nuts?

JUSTIN: That's nasty30, man. That's a
perverted joke, just if you guys wanted
to know, nuts sometimes are referred
to as testicles.
27 .casing: protective cover
28. the word nut is also a different
way to say testicles
29. You like them: you-like-em

30. nasty: of bad taste, displeasing.

CHAD: Yeah.
31. cross ones mind: to think about

mind31.
32. want to: wanna
CHAD: Ok. Real quickly, you want to32,
tell us a little bit?

JUSTIN: Ok, I'm going to read the first

paragraph here. "A Pakistani martial 33. notoriety: the state of being
arts expert has found notoriety33 after famous for something bad
headbutting his way through 155
walnuts in one minute. His record-
breaking attempt literally34 smashed 34. literally: lid-er-ally

CHAD: Wow. So, he beat it36 by a lot.
36. beat it: bea-dit
JUSTIN: By, like, over three times.

CHAD: Yeah. I wonder if he had a

headache37 after that.
JUSTIN: So, he basically, there was a
long table, and there were, there were
lines of two walnuts, and he just
smashed them38, one by one39.
CHAD: Yeah.
JUSTIN: And we'll link the video here,
there'll be some pictures of it in the
transcript.
CHAD: Yeah, it looks pretty incredible.
The video is worth watching, it's really
crazy. He's really quick, and his40
headbutt looks really strong as well.
JUSTIN: Yeah, he's a badass41 Id say.
CHAD: He is a badass. Talking42
(talkin) about headbutts, there's
another cool expression, to butt
heads43, what does that mean?
JUSTIN: Butt heads is like, when,
maybe you don't get along44 with
somebody, you're, you know, you're
having conflict about something.
CHAD: Yeah. If theres a specific
subject that you butt heads about, it
means you don't agree45 on that
subject.
JUSTIN: Yeah. It doesn't necessarily
have to46 be, like, you're fighting, but
it just means that you're disagreeing.

51. what are you talking about:
It's about time we moved on to today's what-cha-talkin-bout
conversation topic. What are you
talking about51, man?

JUSTIN: Yeah, so, today we're going to Popular TV Shows to learn English
do a special episode on how to1 learn
English, how to learn languages with
TV shows.

CHAD: Oh, that's a great topic. Very

effective way to learn English, or any
other language, I think.

JUSTIN: Yeah, it's a fun way, too.

1. how to: how-duh

CHAD: Yeah. Have you used it in your

language learning experience?
 El Cartel de los Sapos
JUSTIN: So, when I was learning
Spanish in Colombia, I used to watch
this TV Show called "El Cartel de los
Sapos."

CHAD: "El Cartel de los Sapos," what is

that?
2. drug cartel: an organization with the
JUSTIN: A drug cartel2 of the, it purpose of making money off the illegal

snitch4. 3. frog

CHAD: A snitch, what does snitch

mean?

JUSTIN: A snitch is somebody who

reports to the police.

CHAD: Oh, ok.

4. snitch: a person who informs to the
police about illegal activities or the act of
JUSTIN: So, if we have a criminal
doing it.
business, or something, and I go to the
police, and I snitch, or I report you to 5. report someone to the police: to
the police5, that's a sapo, in Spanish. inform to the police about someones
involvement in a criminal or illegal
activity.
CHAD: Ok. So, how good was this and
why was this so good for you learning
Spanish? I mean, just by the context of 6. it sounds like/as if: it seems like. Exm
what you're telling me the show was the idea sounds destined to failure.
about, it sounds like6, maybe you learn
a lot of drug language, and, you know,
police stuff, and criminal stuff.
7. daily: happening everyday.
7
JUSTIN: It's just good to have a daily
diet of language. So, if you can be 8. its likely that: its probable; its
possible. the team isnt very likely to win
entertained everyday, then it's much
the tournament.
more likely that8 you're going to,
you're going to use it, because you're
not studying, you're actually just doing
something you enjoy.

CHAD: Yeah. Nice term, by the way. 9. daily diet: habit

Having a daily diet9, I guess you kind
of mean just having a habit.

JUSTIN: Yeah, exactly.

CHAD: Yeah. And I think, obviously we

did a recent podcast about the
importance of having good habits, I
think TV series are a great way to
actually establish a really good habit as
well, because you kind of get 10. addicted
addicted10 to the TV show as well.

JUSTIN: Absolutely. What does

addicted mean?

CHAD: Addicted is when you crave11

something, like you really need it, and
after youve seen an episode, you're 11. crave: to want something very much,
like: Oh, I really want to see the next especially eat, drink, etc.
episode.

JUSTIN: See, I kind of have this

personal theory about TV series and
learning a language. It's kind of, like, if
you watch one episode and you 12. your senses open up: if your senses
understand what's happening, you're open up they become sharper: you
earing, vision, etc become better.
just so excited to watch the next one,
your senses open up12. It's almost, 13. necessity: neces-sidy
like, just a necessity13 for you to
understand. And, so, that's a really,
really great learning moment.
CHAD: Exactly.
Breaking Bad

JUSTIN: Learning opportunity.

CHAD: Yeah. It's like, I mean, another

TV series I've watched recently, which
is kind of similar to this one you're
talking about in Colombia, is obviously
Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is 14. ridiculously: we say this before some
ridiculously14 addictive. adjective to express incredibly; very
much, absolutely, etc. Ex, I was so
ridiculously lost. Thats ridiculously
JUSTIN: Oh, yeah, it's horrible. And expensive.
this is the thing about English, we'll go
back to Breaking Bad in a moment, Grey's Anatomy
but it's like you have the best TV series
in the world, so you have just a huge
selection of these great TV series, that
it's impossible not to find something
that you like.

CHAD: Exactly. They have everything

you can think of, I mean, a lot of my
Law and Order
students, they love watching TV series,
they love things like Grey's Anatomy,
and Law and Order, but I just can't get
into15 those kinds of TV series.

JUSTIN: What does get into mean? 15. get into: to get interested, enjoy
doing something.
CHAD: To get into means to really, to
16. regular basis: everyday.
really enjoy it and watch it on a regular
basis16. But do you like those kinds of
shows?

JUSTIN: Uh, I've watched Grey's

Anatomy a little bit, it's not bad. What
was the other one you mentioned?
CHAD: Law and Order.
17. got into: godin-to

JUSTIN: Law and Order I never got17 18. not at all: not-ad-all
into, no. Not at all18.

CHAD: Ok.
Friends
JUSTIN: Uh, I really like Friends, I think
Friends is an excellent program to
watch to learn English.

CHAD: Actually, it's funny you

mentioned that, because when I first
came to Brazil, I was staying at my
friend's house, and he had, like, he had
19. lay low: not to go out and not
many series of Friends on DVD and I wanting much attention.
was laying low19 for a little while20.
20. for a while: for some time.

JUSTIN: What does lay low mean?

CHAD: To lay low means not to really

go out, and spend money, and things 21. trying to: tryna
like this. I was just trying to21 adapt to
Brazil first, so, I spent a lot of time at 22. hang out: to spend time with friends,
especially not doing anything important.
his house, just hanging out22, and I
watched Friends, for example, in
English, with a Portuguese subtitle, so
I think it was a good way for me to just
start accumulating some good
vocabulary from that.

JUSTIN: Yeah, that's an excellent way

too. Anytime you're watching TV, even
in your native language, if you can get
subtitles on in English, oh, that's... you,
you're reading it!

CHAD: Yeah.
JUSTIN: You're still benefitting, you're
still learning. It's not as good, of
course, as watching it.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: Or watching it with subtitles,

but...
22. why do you: wha-da-u
22
CHAD: Exactly. What do you think of
the, in your opinion, what's the best 23. TV series: series is one of those
sequence of actions to take? Like, let's nouns that always keeps the s even

to watch a TV series23, in regards to24
24. in regards to: a slightly formal term
subtitles and audio? to say in relation to, referring to,
concerning.
JUSTIN: Well, it depends on25 what
25. Common mistake: it is it depends
kind of person you are, and how much on, not in.
you love English and how much you
love the show, because the idea is, you
want to find a balance between
enjoying it and learning.

CHAD: Of course.

JUSTIN: Because if you're getting

bored with it, you can't engage in the
TV show, or in this TV series, then
you're not going to continue.

CHAD: Yeah.
26. to look forward to: to be excited
26 about something thats going to happen
JUSTIN: You need to look forward to in the future.
it.
27. a drag: boring activity; unwanted
27 situation.
CHAD: Exactly. If it's, like, a drag , if
it's like a...

JUSTIN: What does drag mean?

CHAD: A drag is when you do some

kind of a task that's very, very boring, 28. dull: lacking excitement; boring,
very dull28, it's a drag. "Oh, that's a uneventful. Ex, neither team scored and
the game ended in a dull draw.
drag, man!"

JUSTIN: Yeah, so, you can't have it be 29. engage: to become interested and
involved in something.
a drag, it's important to be engaged29,
so, finding that balance to be engaged. 30. with that said: this phrase connectos
With that said30, maybe, a really good what has been said with whats about to
be said. It means taking this into
thing to do, for a beginner, would be to consideration, therefore, etc.
watch it in your native language first,
or at least the audio with the subtitles 31. vice-versa: the other way around; do
it the opposite way.
in English, or vice-versa31. You have to
experiment, see what works best with
you. But then, and then watch it in
English with English subtitles, because
you have the context to understand.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: A lot better.

CHAD: Maybe it depends on whether

you're a more of a visual learner, or
more, or if you want to maybe practice
your listening more, it depends on 32. angle: the approach you tale when
what angle32 you want to take with trying to accomplish something.
your learning, right?

JUSTIN: Yeah, absolutely. But, it's

really good to have subtitles in English, 33. synopsis: the summary of a movie.
in both of them. You can also read the
synopsis33.
CHAD: What does synopsis mean?
34. print out: to have a digital copy of a

so you can print out34, or maybe just piece of paper though a printer.
bookmark35, on the website, and just 35. bookmark
read the summary of the TV show, of
the episode, before you watch, and
then you have context to understand.

CHAD: You kind of prepare to know

what's going to happen, just by
reading just the summary in that case.

JUSTIN: Yeah. Or, you can also take 36. scenes: remember that this is
scenes36, and just digest those. We pronounced as seen with an s at the
actually have a really excellent article end: seens.
written by Adir Ferreira, who is one of
our friends, he has a blog as well, he's
an excellent teacher.

CHAD: He's been on this podcast

before.

JUSTIN: Yeah. Which podcast was it?

CHAD: It was the podcast with Adir.

37. party: par-di
JUSTIN: He came to our party37,
38. article: ar-di-cle
actually, but he wrote this article38, it's
one of our most39 popular articles, 39. one of our most: one-uhv-ar-most
about how to use TV shows and
movies to watch TV. I think TV shows 40. better: be-der
are a lot better40 than movies, in a
general sense, because you can form a
habit.

CHAD: Exactly, yeah. That's the best

thing you could do, because a move,
it's really long, as well. It's hard to
really be focused for like an hour and a
half, two hours.

JUSTIN: And who has two hours a day?

CHAD: Exactly, exactly.

JUSTIN: So, with a TV show, like 20, a 41. stretching it: pushing the limit
40 minute one, that's stretching41 it.

CHAD: What do you42 mean by 42. why do you: wha-d-u

stretching it?

JUSTIN: It means that it's, maybe, on

the limit of what's acceptable.

CHAD: Ok.
43. what about you: wha-dabout-you
JUSTIN: But, anyway, so, I... What
about you43, what do you think is the
ideal routine for somebody?

CHAD: Well, when I tell my students to

watch TV series, I obviously look at
their level. If they are low level, I say,
"first of all," just like you said, "have
the audio in your native language, 44. step: one of many series of things
you have to do in order to achieve
subtitles in English." The next step44 is something.
to, maybe, switch that over45, so you
have the audio in English and subtitles 45. switch over: to rotate.
in your native language. Then the next
step is to have, like, English audio,
English subtitles. Then, the last step, is
just English - audio. No subtitles. But,
obviously, that's like the sequence you
go in a development. I mean, it's really
good to start training your ear as well,
even if you just listen to in English for,
like, 2 minutes, and then if you just test
your understanding, maybe go back
that 2 minutes and then but the
subtitles on and just see how... test
yourself, how well did you understand
that, and... I think this works really
well, I think this is something that a lot
of my students get a lot of benefit 46. hook: to become interested in
from, and, like you said, when you something. Ex this book got me hooked.

difficult to not do that.
47. about it: uh-boud-it
47
JUSTIN: When you think about it ,
and you're like, your intuition will
guide you a lot of times, while you're
watching it.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: Like, for example, if you know
the characters, you can sort of start
filling in the blanks48 of what they're
saying, even if you don't completely
understand them49, because you
know the character so well.
48. fill in (the blanks): fill in is to write in
the blank spaces of a piece of paper that
requires our information. In this case this
phrase is used metaphorically to mean
infer or assume.

CHAD: Yeah. That's another really

good point50 about knowing the
characters, because, we've talked51
about this a lot before. I know a lot of
students, especially... No, I know a lot
of people, many of them52 are my 49. understand them: understand-em
students, I'm just going to say 50. good point: well-founded point of
especially here in Brazil, because I view or opinion.
know the TV series Friends was really
51. talked: talk-t
popular here, it still is, and a lot of
people have really learned their
English from that TV show, and also
from a specific character, like, the
character from the show you really
identify53 with, and often you can kind
of take on their persona54, to some
extent55, and it can really help your
pronunciation, it can really help you fill
out56 your own personality in English,
as well, what do you think about that?
JUSTIN: Yeah, actually, that reminds
me of57 something I heard, somebody
was telling me about, I didn't meet
this guys, but one friend of theirs, I
guess his English is just sick58, his
fluency is just sick.
CHAD: Sick?
52. many of them: many-uhv-em
53. identify: idenify
54. persona vs person: a person is a
human being. Persona is the character a
person has, and how he/she is perceived
by others. Ex, Madonna has a quite
eccentric persona.
55. to some extent: in a way,
somewhat, partly. Ex, this is true to
some extent.
56. fill out: to complete, develop, build.
57. it reminds me of: it makes me
remember
58. sick: another way to say great,
cool. Find out more about different
ways to say cool in this podcasts episode
51.

JUSTIN: Just, amazing. Sick is like

really good, or awesome, cool, right?

CHAD: Obviously, if they listened to

last week's podcast, they will know
what that is.

JUSTIN: But we talked about it in the

context of cool.

CHAD: Exactly.

JUSTIN: We didn't talk about, like, sick

is something that's just really good.

CHAD: Yeah, ok.

JUSTIN: So... his English was just sick, 59. apparently: app(ea)renly
really good, and, I guess, apparently59,
he emulated60 a character on a TV
60. emulate: to mimic.
show for, like, three or four months.
He read the transcripts, and started,
like, anticipating what he was going to
say.

CHAD: Wow.

JUSTIN: And just started imitating

him.

CHAD: Oh, wow.

61
JUSTIN: And in just a matter of a few
months his English became, like,
almost flawless62.
61. a matter of minutes/days/weeks,
etc: used to talk about how long
something is going to take.
62. flawless: perfect. Ex, her
performance was flawless.

CHAD: Oh my God. Flawless, what

does flawless mean?

JUSTIN: Without flaws63, or without 63. flaw: defect, shortcoming.

errors.

CHAD: Yeah, exactly.

JUSTIN: Yeah, so that could be

something that you can try out64, 64. try out: to try and see how useful it is
definitely experiment with it. for you.
Experiment with characters,
experiment developing your own
persona, and you could use TV show
characters for this. 65. get a little: geda-lidull

CHAD: Yeah. A lot of the time, when I
tell my students to do this, they get a
little65 skeptical66, like "Oh, but that
just sounds like I'm acting." They find,
"If I'm always just copying the
66. skeptical: not inclined to believe
that something is true, useful,
important, etc. Ex, Yeah, that theory.
Im skeptical thats ever going to be
proved true.
character from my favorite TV series,
I'm not really being authentic, I'm just
acting that person's persona." But I
think it's not like that. I think you can
use their persona to kind of, just, help
you with pronunciation, help you with
the way that they speak, and if you
identify with that person, it probably
means that you're similar to that
character in some way. Its kind of 67. iron out: to improve but solving the
problems.
helping you iron out67 your English
self.

JUSTIN: Yeah. Well, you're becoming

an actor, youre sort of expanding your
sense of identity, right?

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: Because you can't be so stuck 68. stuck on: to be trapped in; to be
on68 your native language identity, unable to go beyond some state.

you have to expand your identity so

you can include, like, this other
language. Create, like, a new you in
69. lens
this new language, which is English.
And you... it's sort of, like, a new lens69
for the world.

CHAD: Yeah. So, Justin did this in

Colombia, with the TV show he was
watching, so, when he goes there, he
sounds like a total70 gangster, and,
70. total: todal
like, he sounds like he works for the
drug cartel, or the sapo, right? He goes
around71, like, killing people, and 71. go around:to behave in a particular
way.
buying and selling drugs, he really took
his... the persona from the TV series
and he really made it who he is today.
JUSTIN: You know, actually, because
we live in Brazil, I watched72 Breaking 72. watched: watch-t
Bad, the entire series, in Portuguese.

CHAD: Oh, cool.

JUSTIN: So, I got addicted to that in

Portuguese, because, really, I don't
really like the Brazilian TV shows that I
73. soap-operas: TV series which mainly
know, at least, and I don't really like focuses on melodrama and emotional
soap-operas73, telenovelas. I don't relationships.
really like those, so, I'm watching, like,
American TV shows in English,
dubbed74.

CHAD: Ok. What does dubbed mean?

JUSTIN: Dubbed means when they just
put somebody else's voice over it.
CHAD: Yeah, exactly.
74. dubbed: when a TV show is dubbed,
the original actors voices are replaced
by other peoples voices in a different
language.
75. think its: think-itz

JUSTIN: And some people think it's75 76. cheesy: romantic in intention but
kind of cheesy76, and it probably is... looking or sounding silly or ridiculous.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: But, I mean, what options do

we have?

CHAD: Exactly. Yeah, if you're using it

primarily to learn, or help you
understand the language, I think it 77. it doesnt matter: its not important.
doesn't matter77 if it is a little bit
cheesy.

JUSTIN: I did this with...

CHAD: I watched it with you, and it
was actually not too bad, I think the
way that they dubbed the voices, they
actually really did a good job at it.

JUSTIN: And then I heard it in English 78. to be like: (Im /hes like) used to
express what one said or thought in a
and I'm like78 "this sounds stupid." past situation.

CHAD: Yeah, you get used to79 it in 79. get used to: become accustomed.
Portuguese.

JUSTIN: Yeah, totally. I did the same Doctor House

thing with, uh, House.

CHAD: House, ok.

JUSTIN: Yeah, Doctor House.

CHAD: Ok. That's another good one,

House. In small dosages80, I'm not a
80. dosage: the amount of medicine to
big fan of House. be administrated.

JUSTIN: Yeah, I didn't really dig it81

81. dig it: to like, identify and
that much, but I watched the whole
season. 82. watch them: watch-em

CHAD: What do you mean by dig it? 83. wordplay: jokes based on play of
words.
JUSTIN: To enjoy it, to really identify
with it.

CHAD: Yeah. See, when I watch TV

series, I don't - the reason why I don't
really watch them82 in another
language is because it's generally
based on the English wordplay83. So, if
Family Guy
you watch something like Family Guy,
or, you know, American Dad, that
kind of stuff is very sarcastic, and a lot
of the jokes are based on the word
play. So, maybe these ones aren't so
good for watching it in your native
language, but if you watch this kind of
stuff in English and understand the American Dad
humor behind it, you're doing really
well. because not only are you learning
the language and really practicing your
hearing, and your, just your
comprehension and general, you're
also getting a lot of84 contact into the
different culture, the different humor
from the United States. It's kind of 84. getting a lot of: gedding-a-lot-uhv
similar in Australia, it's kind of
sarcastic, we use a lot of wordplay...
So, when you get to that level, when
you can understand that kind of stuff
in English, you're doing really well.

JUSTIN: Yeah, it's good to make your

English really flexible, too, and sort of
just open your perception to different
aspects of the language and the
culture, so that you're not kind of just
stuck on what you learned in the
school or in the books.

CHAD: Exactly, exactly.

JUSTIN: There are so many, like,

hidden things happening, that you
may not perceive if you don't really pay
85. subtle: su-dl
attention to the subtle85 things.

CHAD: Exactly. Yeah, because when I

watch, for example, the Family Guy, in
English, and there's a Portuguese
86. notice: become aware of
subtitle, I notice86 that the translation,
it just can't translate into that
language, because it's wordplay, it's
based on English words, so it's really
hard to translate that kind of stuff.

JUSTIN: What do you think about just 87. go through: to read, name or
going through87 some, maybe some analyze some items from a list.
popular TV series, TV shows, that are
88. nowadays: at the present time.
happening nowadays88, that have
happened in the past few years, just
to...

CHAD: Sure.

JUSTIN: Some good options for people

to check out?

CHAD: Yeah. Well, first of all, I'd have

to admit that I don't really watch TV
shows, or, at least, I don't really watch 89. brainwash: the act of changing
peoples mind with a new set of believes.
them on TV, I don't really even have a
TV.

JUSTIN: Yeah, yeah, I don't watch TV

either. I really don't like commercials,
and, like, it's kind, I feel like I'm being
brainwashed89 by it.

CHAD: Yeah, yeah, me too. But most

of them I, just on the DL90, I download
them.

90. on the DL: short for on the down

JUSTIN: Well, yeah, you can watch
low, which means secret information.
them online, too. Like, you have
Netflix, too, right? Netflix, I don't
know if this exists in every country, but
Netflix is a really good way to watch91 91. way to watch: way-uh-watch
online TV, streaming92... 92. stream: to watch live broadcastings
through internet.
CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: Subtitles...
93. bucks: slang word for dollars
CHAD: It's like 12 bucks93 a month, or
something like that, I think.

JUSTIN: Or even less, here, I think it's 8

bucks.

CHAD: Yeah, right.

JUSTIN: Eight American dollars, here

in Brazil.

CHAD: Yeah, yeah. So, uh, what do

you like to watch, man? What's your
favorite kind of TV show?

JUSTIN: I love Friends, and I love

recommending this TV show, this
show to my students, my friends,
anybody learning, because it's got 255
episodes. If you can watch from
episode 1 to the end, and study English
at the same time, I believe that you
can get fluent in one year. From zero
to fluent in one year.

CHAD: Yeah, right.

JUSTIN: And it can be a really great

process.

CHAD: Yeah. So, that's pretty much

watching nearly an episode, maybe,
like, 5 episodes a week.

JUSTIN: Yeah, it's like, it's a great show

to do that with. Maybe, at first, it will
be a little bit difficult, if you don't
have a base for it, but, for example, if
you're listening to this podcast, and
you understand a lot of stuff, then
start watching Friends every day. Just
94. evolve: get better.
watch how your English evolves94.

CHAD: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Friends,

I've seen, probably, all of them95, and I
think just the story in general is pretty
cool, you do kind of get attached to
the cast, to the characters, it's a very
cool mixture of different kind of
people. It's 6 friends, and they all have
a very different personality. So, it's a
great way, not only96 just to help your
English, but just to see how these
different people are, you know, you
kind of really get a good insight into
their lives.
95. all of them: all-uhv-em
96. not only: nod-only
97. keep you going: if something keeps
you going, it enables you to form a habit
out of it.
98. mid-twenties: approximately from
24 to 26
99. mid-thirties: approximately from 34
to 36

100. take you through: it shows you

JUSTIN: And the humor just keeps you something.
going97, and then, there's humor,
101. stages
there's drama, in the whole series, it's
like 10 years, so it goes from their mid-
twenties98 until their mid-thirties99,
so it takes you through100 a few
different stages101 of their lives and all
the different situations that they have
to face102.
102. face: (verb) to confront, deal with.
CHAD: Yeah, it's definitely a great
option. Uh, one that I like to watch, 103. sillier: comparative form of silly.
like I said, I like sillier103 kind of stuff,
104. if you think about it: phrase used
like The Simpsons. to get someone to pay attention to
something its easy to disregard.
JUSTIN: The Simpsons, if you think
about it104, there's no story to it.

CHAD: You're right.

JUSTIN: I mean, there sort of is, but it's

not...

CHAD: It's not a continuation, like

Friends. You can watch just one
episode of Friends, and it's, you don't
have to know about the whole story,
105. adult cartoon
but there's, like, that deeper
understanding of the whole story,
where it's more captivating, it's more
interesting.

JUSTIN: So, you've mentioned the

Family Guy, another adult cartoon105,
right?

CHAD: Another adult cartoon, yeah.

JUSTIN: Maybe like kids' cartoons are

good, too. I think there are some of
those that some of my students have
really enjoyed watching them.

CHAD: Really? I just find them so

boring, or just so silly.

JUSTIN: Yeah, maybe some people 106. hang in there: to be ok doing it; not
can hang in there106, you know. exactly having a bad time, but neither
really enjoying it.

CHAD: Ooh, hang in there, what do

you mean by hang in there?

JUSTIN: Hang in there is like, to last, to

accompany something, to endure
something.

CHAD: But maybe some actual TV

series with real people in there that I
like would be, like, obviously, Breaking
Bad, we've just mentioned that, very
addictive. If you're going to watch
that, be prepared, because you're
going to watch the whole damn107 107. damn: (slightly offensive) a word
series, because it's really addictive. that can be placed before many words to
make it sound more emphatic.

JUSTIN: It's really, really addictive, and

it's good, too.

CHAD: Yeah... It's kind of intense, it's

very intense.

JUSTIN: It's a little bit dark, too, I think.

CHAD: Yeah, well, it's about drug

108. spoil: tell the ending of a movie,
dealers, and... I don't want to spoil108 series, book, etc.
it for you.

JUSTIN: What does spoil mean?

CHAD: Spoil, in this case, would be if I

was to tell you what actually happens
and it ruins the surprise. Uh, but
another one, other series that are
similar to Friends I would say,
probably, Two and a Half Men.

JUSTIN: Yeah. It's definitely a different

energy, though, but...
CHAD: Different energy, yeah.

JUSTIN: It's funny, though. It's funny,

but it's kind of, Charlie Sheen...

CHAD: Yeah... He's his own character, I

mean, it's hard to really identify with
Charlie Sheen, but he's really
entertaining. How I Met your Mother

JUSTIN: Yeah, it's a show that just

captivated a lot of the world.

CHAD: It has. And, lastly, I'd say,

maybe, How I Met Your Mother?

JUSTIN: Ok. You wrote an article

about that?

CHAD: I did write an article about that,

yeah. Especially, mainly about the 109. do you know: colloquial omission
character Barney. You know109 who of the auxiliary verb.
Barney is?

JUSTIN: Like Doogie Howser? No. Doogie Howser

CHAD: Yeah, he's the guy who was the

Doogie Howser, like, 50 years ago,
however long ago that series was. But,
uh, yeah, I'm trying to think of an
Australian TV series that I could tell
you guys about, but I can't think of
any.

JUSTIN: Don't you have a New

Zealand passport too?
CHAD: I do have a New Zealand
passport, yeah.

JUSTIN: What about "Flight of the

Conchords?"

CHAD: Yeah, that is actually really

good. Flight of the Conchords. Ok, I'm
going to go with that one. Flight of the
Choncords...

JUSTIN: New Zealand.

CHAD: Yeah, there are two guys from

New Zealand, for those who don't
know New Zealand, it's in the South
hemisphere, next to Australia, a lot of
people don't know about it, because
everyone just thinks of Australia.

JUSTIN: Isn't it... I thought it was a

state of Australia.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: Those are called kiwis,

actually.
110. kiwi bird

CHAD: Yeah, the name for a person

from New Zealand is a kiwi because
the national bird, you probably didnt
know this, the national bird of New
Zealand it the kiwi bird110.

JUSTIN: I thought it was just the fruit

you eat.

CHAD: No, no. It's not the fruit.

JUSTIN: But your parents are kiwi,
right?

CHAD: My parents are kiwis.

JUSTIN: Ok.

CHAD: Yeah, exactly. I'm Australian, 111. born and bred: (also born and
born and bred111 in Australia. But, uh, raised) used to talk about the place
where you were born and brought up or
yeah, Flight of the Conchords. Really raised.
quickly, check this out, there's two
guys, Bret and Jemaine, two kiwi guys,
they go to the Unites States to
become famous musicians, very
average musicians, but they're really
funny. And that's a really awesome TV
show, if you can understand the
humor, you're going to love it,
112. dork: someone who is weird and
because they are kind of dorks112, you kind of silly.
know, and they're just clueless113 in
the United States, so that's why it's so 113. clueless: having no clue;
uninformed of whats going on.
funny.

JUSTIN: What does clueless mean?

CHAD: Clueless means they just have

no idea what's going on, like, that guy
is clueless.

JUSTIN: Oh, without a clue.

CHAD: Without a clue. They have no

clues. Yeah, that's pretty much the TV
series that I watch.

JUSTIN: Probably the final one I'm

going to recommend is actually, it's
called Touch. Touch

CHAD: Touch.

JUSTIN: Touch is a show with two

seasons, Kiefer Sutherland, who was in
the 24, which is another popular one.
It's kind of based in this idea that
everything is connected, and it's like
the Butterfly effect114. So, if you do
one thing in one place, that's going to
affect things across115 the world. It
shows all these different stories 114. Butterfly effect
happening in different places, and
how they all come together116 to form
this really dramatic and kind of a
serendipitous117...

CHAD: Ooh, serendipitous, nice word,

man! What does that mean? 115. across: having repercussions in all
directions.

JUSTIN: Serendipitous is, it's like, kind 116. come together: everything
of like fate, destiny, or something that combining in a single story.

is supposed to happen. 117. serendipitous: at the right place, at

the right time.
CHAD: Yeah. It's like something that's,
like, too perfect to happen, that's like,
wow, this is just too much of a
coincidence to be just a coincidence.

JUSTIN: Carl Jung, the psychologist, 118. synchronicity: happening at the

talks about this synchronicity118. So, exact right moment, with perfect
timing.
when, kind of when you're on your
path, then, the things start to happen, 119. conspire: to plan something against
serendipitous things, where you meet someone.

the right person at the right time, the

Universe sort of conspires119 to make 120. make things happen: to make
things happen120. become a reality.
CHAD: Exactly, yeah.

JUSTIN: And that's serendipity.

CHAD: Yeah. Great word. That's going

to be the word of the day, I love that
word, serendipitous.

JUSTIN: Yeah, so, check it out, Touch,

Fight of the Conchords.

CHAD: Yeah, Flight of the Conchords.

I'm going to link, like, a video from 121. get a feel for: to become familiar
Flight of the Conchords, onto the show with something.
notes, just so you guys get a feel for121
it.

JUSTIN: What does "get a feel for"

mean?

CHAD: To get a feel for something is,

maybe, just, you see a little bit of it,
just to kind of understand what it's all
about. Just to get a feel for it.

JUSTIN: To get, like, an intuitive

feeling for it.

CHAD: Exactly, yeah, just to see if you

can connect with them or not, just
from seeing a little bit.

JUSTIN: Yeah, this was actually in the

last transcript.

CHAD: It was.
JUSTIN: Yeah.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: But we will link some other 122. partner in crime: the friend that
articles we've written about this, together with you gets in some kind of
Ethan, our other partner in crime122 in trouble, and then laugh about it.
RealLife English, he wrote an article
about this, recommending a bunch
of123 different shows, TV shows, for
learners.

CHAD: Nice.

JUSTIN: Different kinds of TV shows.

That about wraps it up124, right? 123. a bunch of: a lot of.

CHAD: That does, I think it about 124. wrap up: to finish something.
wrapped it up for today's conversation
topic. You're ready for the question?

JUSTIN: Let's do it.

CHAD: Let's do it.

CHAD: Ok, so, today's question is the

difference between meet and know,
and there is a lot of things behind this,
why people confuse these two words?
So, Justin, what's the original, what's
the definition of meet and how's that
different to know, in just a very simple
explanation?

JUSTIN: Ok. Nice to meet you, I'm

Justin.

CHAD: Oh, hey, Justin, nice to... I've

met you, man, we've talked, my man?
1.we've been working: weev-bin-workin
we've been working1 together for a
long time now.

JUSTIN: Because to meet somebody is

to meet them for the first time. To
know somebody is to be familiar with
that person, or that thing.

CHAD: Yeah.

JUSTIN: So, I met Chad 4 years ago. I

have known him for four years.

CHAD: Exactly, yeah. So, yeah, meet

and know, in that case, you're always
going to use know, generally, in the
present perfect, then, right? I have
known you.

JUSTIN: Or I could say "I know Chad."

CHAD: You know me, yeah.

JUSTIN: Yeah.

CHAD: Exactly.
JUSTIN: You can also use "get to
know2." Get to know is a process of
knowing somebody, getting3 to know
somebody.
2. get to know: the process of knowing a
person or a place better with time and
experience.
3. getting: ged-din

CHAD: Yeah. So, maybe, if you are, I

don't know4, if you are looking for a 4. I don't know: I-dunno
new girlfriend, or a new boyfriend, you
might want to just wait a little while,
get to know the person, before you
start dating5 or... 5. dating: day-ding

JUSTIN: Yeah, and also, you can6 use

6. you can: you-kin
it for a place, for example. So, for
example, I went to So Paulo last
weekend, but it took me a few days to
get to know So Paulo. I still don't
know So Paulo very well, but I'm
getting to know7 So Paulo. 7. getting to know: ged-ding-tah-no

CHAD: So you know, like, you know

where things are, you know how to8
8. how to: how-tah
use the transport there, you know the
good places to go to eat, and things
like this. You know the city9, or you're
9. city: ci-dee
getting to know the city.

JUSTIN: And so, a couple of mistakes

people make, for example, with know, Get to know Perth City
(Advertisement for Chads hometown)
are "Hey," you know, "I knew you
yesterday."

CHAD: Yeah, exactly, yeah.

JUSTIN: I knew that person, it means,

wait, you don't know that person
anymore?
CHAD: Yeah, it's like I knew him
yesterday, but now, I don't know who
he is. Who are you, man?

JUSTIN: So, you met them before.

CHAD: Maybe if I had Alzheimer's10. 10. Alzheimer's: A disease which causes

memory loss, common amongst older
people.
JUSTIN: Or, maybe, if the person dies,
you knew them.

CHAD: Exactly, yeah.

JUSTIN: So...

CHAD: Two very morbid examples, in

that case.

JUSTIN: Another, another mistake

that people make is like "Hey, do you
know So Paulo?"

CHAD: Yeah, people make that

mistake all the time.

JUSTIN: It's more like "have you been11 11. Been: bin
to So Paulo?"

CHAD: Yeah... That's one of those12 12. one of those: one-ov-those

things that I just don't think it probably
translates very well into any other
language. I think English is very unique
in the way we use that "have you been
to."

JUSTIN: Yeah, because "do you know"

is more like "are you familiar with the

Lyrics
"Were Both in Love with a Sexy Lady"
Flight of the Conchords

Lyrics:

I think I've fallen in love with a girl, it's serious.

Ooh, that's great news, Bret, tell me about that girl that's so serious.
Well, I don't really know her.
Ooh, that don't sound so serious.
It's serious, I'm delirious.
 Sounds serious.
Yeah.
That's cool, I met a new girl too.
Have you?
Yeah.
One of those girls you met on the 'net?
No, we really met.
Well, that's great news, what's she like? What does she do?
All I know, dog, is that she's careless with her dog.
I'm not sure what she does, except she makes me want her.
She makes me want to get on top of her.
Oh, that sounds great, man, that's sounds great, hey, wait.
What?
Maybe I'm crazy, but when did you meet this lady?
Just then.
When?
Then.
Right then?
Right then.
Where?
There.
Over there?
Over there.
Over there there?
Over there there there.
Just now?
Just now.

How'd you meet your lady?

I was going for a jog then she lost a dog.

I was running in the area and she lost a terrier.
Was this about forty seconds ago?
No, about forty-three seconds ago.

Ooooh, no, oh no.

Oh no, oh no, oh no.

No, no, what?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
No, I'm thinking what I'm thinking.
So you're not thinking what I'm thinking?
No, 'cause you're thinking I'm thinking what your thinking.
Are you talking about a girl with a beautiful smile?
Yeah.
Like strawberry wine?
 Yeah, yeah.
Blueberry track suit pants?
White chocolate skin?
And socks?
That sounds like her.
Hang on a minute, stop the track.
Eugene, stop the track.
Do you mean the girl who came up to us when we were running in the
park just now and she was looking for her epileptic dog?
Yeah, that's the girl.
Was her name Brahbrah?
No, I think it was Barbara.
Her name was Brahbrah.
It was Barbara, there's no such name as Brahbrah.
It's Brahbrah.
It's Barbara.
It was Brahbrah.
Barbara.
Brahbrah.
Barbara.
Brahbrah.
Barbara, Barbara.
Brah.
Bret, she was looking at me.
No, she was looking at me.
Bret, she was looking at me, she had her eye on my knee.
Dog, I'm sorry, she had her eye on my guns.
Are you loco? She was checking out my buns.
No, bro, she had her eye on me.
She had her eye on me.
Well, how could she have her eye on both of us?
Wait a minute, you talking about the girl with the lazy eye?
I think she might have had a slightly lazy eye.

We're both in love with a sexy lady with an eye that's lazy
The girl that's fly with a wonky eye
She's smoking with an eye that's broken, I think it's hot
The way she looks left a lot
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're both in love with a sexy lady with an eye that's lazy
The girl that's fly with a wonky eye (Put your lazy eye on me, girl)
She's smoking with an eye thats broken, I think it's hot
The way she looks left a lot
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
