Simplified Speech #250 – Weird and wacky questions
7/4/202631 min
How do you like your eggs? It sounds like a small question, but the answer can tell you a lot about a person. In this episode, Andrew surprises his co-host Kassy with a list of weird, wacky, and random questions. She hasn’t seen them before, so you get to hear her real, unplanned answers. They talk about all sorts of everyday things, from what they would want to be famous for to how they wake up in the morning, and they use some natural expressions that native speakers say all the time.

Hello, and welcome back to Simplified Speech, the Culips series which features clear, natural, and easy-to-understand conversations between native speakers. Today, helping me with this episode is my co-host, Kassy. Kassy, hello. How's it going?
Kassy· Host0:16
Hey, Andrew. I am doing great. How about you?
Andrew· Host0:20
I'm doing great as well. Kassy, today we've got a fun episode for everyone, and what we're going to do is just go back and forth and talk about our answers to some weird and wacky, fun questions. I prepared 10 questions for us. I'm not sure if we'll be able to talk about all of them, but maybe we'll go through some of the, the funnest ones together. And Kassy, I'm gonna put you on the spot a lot because I actually didn't run these by you first. So I'm gonna throw them your way. You'll see them for the first time, and we'll get your on-the-spot reaction, and then, yeah. Unfortunately, I've had a little bit of time to think about these myself, so it won't be as, uh, random on my side, but it should be fun. And we'll go back and forth with these questions and answers. But before we do that, I wanna let everyone know that we have an interactive transcript and a helpful study guide for this episode.
