    01:13:39||Ep. 133
    Looking back on some of the best moments from the first 10 episodes of the Talking about Nothing series!-For the new listeners of the podcast, all the episodes titled “Talking about Nothing” are simply recordings of me talking about whatever comes to mind at the moment. The idea is that you’ll get a chance to hear what a native speaker sounds like when he’s speaking naturally without any preparation. As you will see once you listen to the episodes, my mind tends to travel from one place to another very quickly, and I end up talking about a bunch of random topics.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey to nowhere in particular.-Timestamps:0:00 Pipe down!3:47 Old people7:35 Gym rats10:37 Inconsiderate individuals15:22 Inspiration vs Motivation18:05 I could narrate Netflix documentaries20:51 Maggots, frogs, and fake meat30:41 Public displays of affection (PDA)35:06 Ear infection in Colombia42:31 Anxiety attacks on airplanes57:27 Motor-mouths1:01:46 Pet ownership-If you love this podcast and want to show some support, click here 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me anytime 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/

  • 130. 130. Emotional Birds

    17:29||Ep. 130
    John Gottman’s theory on Emotional Bids highlights an often overlooked aspect of communication; the way we respond to those who need something from us. There are 3 typical responses in situations like these: turning towards, turning away, and turning against. And you might be surprised how often you engage in each of these behaviors, as well as the effect it’s having on your relationships.-If you love this podcast and want to show some support, click here 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me anytime 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/
