Hello, Michelle. How's it going today? Good, good. Lindsay, you know, I've been getting so many more phone calls lately, but I'd much rather receive texts than phone calls. Fair enough. I mean, it's so much more efficient. Yeah. Is that you? Is that how you feel? Would you rather receive texts? I think overall, yes. But I do. It is there is something refreshing about when somebody just picks up the phone, the phone calls you like, I will definitely have I mean, my friend just called me yesterday because sometimes I like if I know that if somebody is calling me, I think I'm more likely to pick it up than the speed at which I will answer a text. Yeah, that's probably true. And it feels like what's wrong? Yeah, what's wrong?
Is everything okay? It feels very quaint to call people, right? It feels very quaint, very old fashioned in a way, but kind of genuine, right? Actually, I think I have a good follow up, a good episode to compliment this because there is sometimes what do you say to someone when you call them and you usually are texting, right? And like, how do you kind of introduce, you know, a lot of times they'll say, oh, I just thought it would be easier. You know, things like that. You do have to kind of say something now. Yeah. Right. It's like you have to give an excuse for why did you call. It's really funny. Everything has changed so much. I mean, I know it's only been what, maybe 20 years since we've had texting and really maybe 10 since we've had good texting.
It's just crazy how much texting has changed the way we communicate entirely. Yeah. Is that what we're talking about today, Michelle? What are we getting into? No. No. not at all but we're talking about we're talking about these expressions because we had a listener question came to us on YouTube from Njuk Finn Hugh and Lindsay would you like to read the question i would love to so again don't guys don't forget that we have a youtube channel it is thriving lots of subscribers over there if you prefer to watch this episode which you can we are here on video michelle and i you can watch us over on youtube so if you want to do that go to youtube type in all ears english podcast and we will come up you will see the bright yellow and that is us all right here's the question so new york says i'm a daily listener and i usually repeat each episode for about a week
That's great. Even though I still feel a bit hesitant when speaking, I get really excited when I recognize your expressions in real conversations. It makes me feel like I'm making progress. Beautiful. That's so nice. And you know what? That's what happens. You know, you hear something and then all of a sudden you hear it out in the world everywhere, right? So yes. Yes, 100%.
