Hey there, Aubrey. What's going on today? I'm great, Lindsay. How are you? Good. Glad to be on the microphone here, but I have a question for you. So do you know anyone who's gotten a slap on the wrist when the consequences probably should have been more severe?
Yeah, I would say Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, whatever he went by. I watched part of his documentary. And I'm convinced that he got a slap on the wrist. I think he got four years and something. Maybe the sentence was eight years, but four years of it was like court time. So they... So he has four years in prison. And based solely on the documentary, I'm no criminal justice expert, but I feel like his sentence should have been stronger. What's the word?
Should have been stronger. Yeah, should have been stronger. Okay. That's a good example, right? I mean, sometimes when you have money and power and fame, you can get away with a lot of things, right? Right. Exactly.
So today, this is interesting. Michelle was talking about getting a ticket for going too slow.
Yes. I thought this was hilarious.
Yes. It cracks me up that she got a ticket for going too slow, but she called it a slap on the wrist. And when I heard that, I was like, oh, that's such a great expression. And we have a lot of interesting ways that we talk about a lighter consequence than we deserved.
Yeah, yeah. I love it. It's a great story, guys. If you're a regular listener, you probably know what episode that was from, but really good story. We'll share it at the end.
If you missed it, stay to the end and we'll share details about that episode if you missed it because it is a really funny story.
If you love our style, it's connection, not perfection. That's what we do here. We show you human connection through English and how to do that. We help you change your mindset. This morning, one of our amazing students in Open Conversation Club, Aubrey, shared that he's really changed his mindset in terms of how he thinks when he's learning English. Like what state of mind is he in? And it's now a connection and a reflective state. As opposed to before, it was a very tense state of mind. I love hearing that.
That sounds so much more fun, so much more motivational. I bet he spends a lot more time at it and is learning much more quickly.
It's amazing. So this is what we do here at All Ears English. Guys, hit the follow button to make sure you don't miss a single episode of our show. So what does it mean then when Michelle said a slap on the wrist?
