Have you ever wondered how the Irish Catholic Church got
so powerful? Or did you know that Hitler's translator was
actually an ex priest from Cork? And while we're talking
about Cork, why exactly was Michael Collins killed in nineteen
twenty two. These are all intriguing topics covered in recent
episodes of the Irish History Podcast, and if they sound

You're listening to Luke's English podcast. For more information, visit
Teacher Luke dot co dot uk. Hello listeners, Welcome back
to Luke's English podcast. This episode is called Can I
Eat My Cat? And Other Weird Google Questions Answered? And

(01:13):
before we start, I just want to make one thing
absolutely crystal clear, and that is despite the title of
the episode, even though the episode's just posing a question,
but despite the title of the episode, I do not
condone the eating of cats. Okay. Just want to make
that clear. Do not eat your cat or anyone else's, Okay,
even as a snack, even if you're feeling really peckish.

(01:34):
Just do not eat anyone's cat, including your own cats.
Keep the cats out of the kitchen, Okay. Just wanting
to make that clear. That's just the title of the episode.
It's not some sort of serving suggestion or something like that.
So I just wanted to make that very clear. I'm
going to explain the concept of the episode in just
a moment. But you know, you might have seen the

(01:56):
title and he thought, what's happened to Luke? Is this
is this about English food or something? What's going on?
I mean, you know, somewhere in the world, maybe in
some parts of the world, people do eat cats. But
you know, as far as I'm aware, for the most part,
I think the idea of eating a cat would probably

(02:17):
be completely horrendous for most people, and I certainly would
share that view. This does, of course, open up a
whole other moral question, which is, should we eat animals
at all? Should we eat and you know, why are
the cats being saved? You know, why do they get
special treatment just because they're cute. Maybe we shouldn't be

(02:39):
touching any of them, we shouldn't be consuming any animals.
And that's, you know, perhaps a value question, but I'll
let you, you know, fight that one out amongst yourselves.
But anyway, I just wanted to say, despite the title
of the episode, I do not condone the consumption of cats. Okay, right,
speaking of cats, this has a weird one before again,

(03:01):
before we start, I just bought myself a coffee from
my local generic coffee place and the woman who served
the woman who served me, she said to me she
sort of had an accent. I don't know exactly where
she was from. It might have been just a French accent,
to be fair, but she said to me in English,

(03:21):
because they always do that to me there. I say, bonjour,
you know a cafe Americano ciavou play, maybe even in
that accent, and they instantly respond to me in English.
And she said to me, would you like to pay
by cat? And I was like, what would you like
to pay by cat? And I was like, what you

(03:42):
can pay? You can pay by cat. I didn't realize
that is that a new thing. I was like, I'd
love to pay by cat. But I don't have a
cat with me. I'm afraid, yeah, I've eaten it. Not really,
would you like to peer by cat? And then I
was like, oh by card, right of course, yes, I
would like to pay by card. Beep, and I went
about my day and got myself coffee. Okay, anyway, let's

(04:05):
get started, shall we properly, Let's get the episode off
the ground. Let's get going. So can I eat my cat?
And other weird Google questions answered? So the plan is
in this episode to look at some of the most
common questions that people type into Google and try to
answer them in my own words, or at least try

(04:26):
to actually. Years ago, I did a similar episode, number
one hundred and fifty one, a deep cut from Deep
in the archives of Luke's English podcast, episode number one
hundred and fifty one. It was called Google Questions super Duper.
Long term listeners might remember that one. It was fun
and people enjoyed it. So nearly eight hundred episodes and

(04:49):
about twelve years later, it's finally time to do another one. So,
by the way, there's a link in the pdf, And yes,
there is a pdf available for this. As per usual,
you can just download the pdf freely, and you will
find a link to episode one five to one if
you want to listen to that as well, if you
like this sort of thing. Oh, a very important thing

(05:10):
that I have to do. I need to set a
thirty minute timer, of course, in order to make sure
that I hydrate myself with some generic bottled water here,
So let me do that. Siri set a thirty minute
countdown timer. Please, No, that didn't work. Siri set a

(05:33):
thirty minute count down timer. Please Okay. Siri continues to
be shy and not speak normally. Sirihly goes okay, thirty
minute count down timer starting now, but not at the moment.
Apparently sirih is shy about being on my podcast. So
in thirty seconds, I will take a water break. You
could do the same thing, just a little reminder there
to keep yourself hydrated. So what do I want from

(05:55):
this episode? Now? I'm not in the mood to be
particularly serious today, but at the same time, I do
want something quite intellectually stimulating, which is a slightly odd combination, right.
I want something stupid but clever, which is actually always
what I'm going for on this podcast, to be honest,

(06:15):
I'm always attempting to ride that fine line between stupid
and clever. That's the general idea. So I'm looking for
some weird questions that will lead to some curious and
unexpected rambling on subjects which are different to the things
I usually ramble about in rambling episodes. You know, the
usual things being news about the podcast, how to add

(06:36):
LP premium episodes to an app on your phone, and
how my listeners are either ninjas or skeletons or whatever.
That's the normal stuff that I ramble about. But today
I want to talk about different things while also somehow
getting right to the heart of the human condition and
revealing universal truths about life, the universe and everything, which
is also what I'm always striving for anyway on this podcast,

(07:00):
as well as also teaching some phrasal verbs or something.
So some silly rambling, but also some general knowledge and
insights into the human mind. And let's see what kind
of language comes up as I attempt to tackle some
of the weirdest questions that people have asked Google over
the years. And as I mentioned earlier, the language the
vocab that will come up, and there will be loads.

(07:22):
It's bound to be I think probably quite there's going
to be a bit of slang in this There's going
to be some potentially rude language coming up, possibly some
explicit subjects, but you know, that's just the kind of
thing that you can get from this episode. Some episodes
I do more formal academic stuff. Other episodes I do

(07:43):
the more kind of general English stuff. But this one's
going to be a mix of informal slang stuff with
maybe some body related things, you know, mixed in with
some more general neutral English for describing general problems or
typical queries that people have. So I was wondering what

(08:05):
to call this episode, maybe something like ridiculous Google questions
or stupid Google questions, But then I thought that really,
there is no such thing as a stupid or ridiculous question.
You know, there's nothing wrong with wanting to know something.
And also some of these questions aren't really that ridiculous.
They're quite reasonable really in many cases. But it's quite

(08:26):
funny to imagine the situations people were in when they
decided to open up Google and type these like can
I eat my cat? Like what you're thinking? And millions
of people have done it, which is why they appear
in these auto completes right, Google auto completes. I'm sure
you're aware of that. When you Google something, you start

(08:46):
writing something into Google, you get all these suggested auto completes,
and they represent things that millions of other people have
searched for. And they're like, you know, if you write
can I eat, and then at some point you'll get
can I eat my cat? Because apparently loads of people
have asked that question. That's what I'm talking about. So

(09:08):
now I'm not sure I'll be able to answer all
of these questions, as I expect some of them will
be things like, you know, difficult questions that maybe I
don't know the answer to, like why do men have nipples?
You know? And I just don't have the answer to that.
Do you do? You know? Why do men have nipples?

(09:30):
And if you don't know what nipples are, they're the
two things that all humans I think maybe there are
some exceptions, but as far as I know, all humans
have nipples too, nipples on their chest, sort of things
on their skin. They're kind of they're quite sensitive, quite ticklish.
Women obviously have nipples for I guess the main reason

(09:51):
is so that during breastfeeding, babies can suckle milk from
the breasts, and the milk comes out of the nipples, right,
there's an obvious reason there. But why do men have nipples?
Do you know? Actually we will find out the answer
to that later on. But anyway, some questions could lead

(10:12):
to some interesting streams of consciousness, which, as we know,
is good fodder for listening practice for learning English. Also,
I do reserve the right to actually google these questions
and find the real answers, because otherwise it could be
annoying just to hear me speculating about them and making
up my own answer without actually knowing the truth. So

(10:32):
you will get proper answers as well, so loads of
general knowledge as well. Also I invite you to try
to answer these questions too as a speaking exercise. Okay,
And you'll find the full list of questions on the
page for this episode on my website or on the
pdf links in the description. So yes, you will find

(10:53):
the full list of questions. What you could do is
even you could look through the list now. Have a
look through the list now now, and even try to
answer them yourself, remembering that it's not really about finding
exactly the right answer, but just being able to talk
in response to the question for some time, have a
look through the questions, do the task yourself, and then
come back to the episode and continue listening, and you'll

(11:15):
hear the way that I attempt to answer them. So,
how about if I write why do I simply? Why
do I? So? Here's what we get. Why do I
fart so much? That is the number one question? Why
do I fart so much? Let me list the questions
and then I'll explain and ramble about them a little bit.

(11:35):
Why do I fart so much? Why do I sweat
so much? Why do I have diarrhea? Why do I
burp so much? Why do I feel nauseous? Why do
I sweat when I sleep? Why do I sleep so much?
Why do I pee so much? Why do I sweat
so much at night? And why do I feel like vomiting?
So clearly, this reveals a lot about the human condition,

(11:56):
and that condition is gastro enteritis. Yeah, so let me
just go through some of those questions again. Why do
I fart so much? So a fart? Farting is when
your body releases gas. Your body releases gas in two ways,
by farting and by burping. Farting is when the gas

(12:16):
comes out of your bottom. Burping is when the gas
comes out of your mouth, right, So a fart or
to fart, a burp or to burp. Why do I
fart so much? Why would someone fart so much? Now
I'm not a doctor, but I assume it would be
maybe because of your diet. Maybe you're eating a lot
of beans or something like that, or eating a lot
of vegetable matter that would cause up cause a buildup

(12:40):
of gas in your body. Maybe you have some sort
of underlying health condition, maybe a little maybe you're a
bit unwell. I don't know why do people fart so much?
I suppose I'm going to have to google all of
these things, aren't I? Why do I sweat so much?
Sweating is perspiration. That's when if you're hot, normally your

(13:01):
body produces sweat. Sweat comes out of your pores, the
pores of your skin, Like if you do exercise, your
head gets wet, you get sweaty. This is sweat. Why
do I sweat so much? Again? Maybe your body is
trying to get rid of something. Maybe your body's trying
to flush out some toxins from you, or maybe you

(13:25):
just live in a hot place. Just take off, take
off a shirt, take you know, take off a layer.
I don't know. Why do I have diarrhea? Diarrhea is
a condition where you when you do a poo, it
comes out it's very runny and liquid, horrible. I suppose
people you might have diarrhea because you've picked up a virus.

(13:45):
You've picked up some sort of gastro virus, a tummy
bug which is causing your poo to be very liquid.
Or maybe you've got food poisoning. You know, maybe you
ate something that can take in some you know, poisonous
bacteria which has infected your stomach and this is causing

(14:05):
your poo to come out all runny. Or maybe there's
something more serious happening. I don't know. Maybe the diarrhea
is a symptom of some other kind of condition that
you've got, but you might, if it's really serious, you
might want to go and see a doctor about that.
I'm talking to you as if you ask this question,
but you know, maybe you did, because apparently these are
very common questions. Why do I burp so much? I

(14:27):
refer you back to the farting question. Apparently there's a
lot of gas in your system. Why do I feel nauseous.
So if you feel nauseous, it's like, ooh, you feel
like you're going to be sick. Oh God, I feel nauseous.
Maybe because you listen to me talking about farting and diarrhea.
I don't know. Maybe it's something you ate or again,
nausea might be a symptom of some other condition. And

(14:47):
if you have persistent nausea, yeah, you might want to
go and see a doctor about that one. Why do
I sweat when I sleep? Why do I sleep so much?
Why do I peace so much? Why do I sweat
so much at night? And why do I feel like vomiting?
So many questions, so little time. Let's just at least

(15:08):
do Why do I fart so much? Why do I
fart so much? Okay, so the NHS. This is like
a summary from the NHS website Causes of excessive farting.
Excessive farting can be caused by swallowing more air than usual.
So have you been swallowing a lot of air? I

(15:30):
don't know, eating foods that are difficult to digest, Conditions
affecting the digestive SYS system, like indigestion or irritable bowel syndrome.
So it could be any of those things. Why do
I sweat so much? Right, let's have a bit. Let's
have that as well. Excessive sweating is known as hyper hydrosis.

(15:58):
Excessive sweating, says the NA Chess website. Excessive sweating is
common and can affect the whole body or just certain
areas like the armpits. Maybe sometimes it gets better with age,
but there are things you can do and treatments that
can help. Um, why is it happening? I don't. It
doesn't say why it happens. It's normal to sweat if

(16:21):
you get hot or do exercise, but you may be
sweating excessively if you're sweating when your body does not
need to cool down. Excessive sweating can happen for no
obvious reason, a god, because of another condition you may have,
or as a side effect of a medicine you're taking.
Sometimes people sweat when they're unwell. Right, if you've got

(16:42):
like a flu, if you if you if you've picked
up a virus, and at night you get the night sweats.
But yeah, often there's no there's no obvious reason for it. Wow,
that's annoying, isn't it? Okay? Now let me move on.
How about this. How about why do British people Okay,

(17:02):
let me just drink some of this coffee. Why do
British people You can think while I'm drinking this coffee,
what some of the questions might be, Why do British people? Okay,
why do British people say Happy Christmas? It's a bit

(17:23):
of a stupid question, isn't it. Presumably because it's Christmas
and you want people to have a happy Christmas. I
suppose that will be American people who normally say Merry Christmas, right,
or happy Holidays. But in the UK it's quite common
to say happy Christmas. I mean, it's just normal. It's
just normal in the UK to say happy Christmas. That's

(17:44):
just the way we do it. We also say Merry Christmas.
Why do British people say bloody? Like oh bloody hell
or you know this bloody computer? Why do we say bloody?
That's quite a good question, to be honest. I think
the reason for that is probably that there'll be a

(18:06):
very old etymological reason for saying bloody. It's probably related
to some other Germanic word you know that meant something else,
and it's continued and it's you know, it's a sort
of moderate swear word is used as an expression of frustration.

(18:27):
But the origins of it, I'm not entirely sure, to
be honest. Let's let's have a look. Yeah, okay. Even
though the word bloody has Germanic origins, its use as
a swear word most likely entered English from the French.
Ah dear these stories, these etymological stories, are never that
compelling in my opinion. Why is bloody a swear word

(18:49):
in Britain? It seems more likely according to Rawson, who's Rawson?
I don't know. This is from Wikipedia, that the taboo
against the word arose secondarily, perhaps because of an association
with men's stration. That's women's periods. They're monthly periods. The
Oxford English Dictionary mentions the theory that it may also
have arisen from aristocratic rowdies known as bloods, hence bloody

(19:12):
drunk means drunk as of blood. Okay, there'll be reasons.
There'll be all sorts of reasons. No one's entirely short
as far as I can tell, But it is true
that British people use the word bloody as a sort
of common swear word. Bloody. Hell, you know, look at
this bloody thing. Yeah, why do British white to British people?

(19:34):
Why do British people have accents? Well, everyone has an accent, right,
if you speak, you have an accent. But of course
British people have accents because of the reasons that accents exist,
largely because of you know, identity issues in different regions. Normally,
that's it. It's normally that accents represent different cultural groups

(20:00):
and through the process of accommodation, if you associate with
a certain group, for example, if you live in that area,
then you will naturally speak in the same way that
the people in that area speak. And because there are
various local identities in the country, as a result, people
tend to speak in the same way that other members

(20:22):
of their cohort speak. There might be other reasons as well.
It might be that, you know, the UK, although it
is a small place, it has a lot of different
accents because local identities become very strong when everyone is
contained within a reasonably or relatively small space. It might
be something like that. I did an episode about this

(20:43):
years ago called why does the UK have so many accents?
I think it is You can find it in the
episode archive. Why do British people say Z so in
America that they say z ab. You know x y
z in the UK x y Z. I think it's
because it comes from from Greek, right, ancient Greek, and
I think the ancient Greek equivalent probably has an a sound.

(21:06):
I'm not sure what the ancient Greek equivalent is for Z,
what the old word was or is, but I imagine it's
because that word also has an sound in it. Okay,
some of these I'm not gonna google because there isn't
time for me to google every single one. I feel
like I should google that one though. Why do British

(21:27):
people say Z? Let's have a look. It was the name?
Oh okay, all right, The name for this letter was
borrowed from the French Z. The most common form of
this letter was thus the one that's now standard in
the UK and other countries. Okay, So I'm now on

(21:50):
a website called the Language nerds dot com, and you
can see that the post for just for this question
goes on and on. I'd love to get just a
very quick summary of that. Time to cheat with a
little bit of AI. Okay, so, using Google's notebook LM,
I'm cheating to get a quick summary of that page.

(22:11):
This article from the Language Nerds explores the contrasting pronunciations
of the letter Z, known as Z in American English
and Z in British English and most other English speaking countries.
So it really should be why do the Americans say
Z when everyone else is saying zed? The piece traces
the historical roots of Z back to Greek and French influences, right,

(22:31):
noting its earlier appearance. It explains that Z emerged later,
possibly due to its rhyme with other letters, and gained
prominence in America. Maybe it's just because in America they
wrote that alphabet song A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I,
J K, L, M N O, p q and R
S and t u, v w X Y and Z.

(22:54):
Now I know, my ABC, would you like to sing
with me? Right? And it's convenient that Z rhymes with
T and C and me right, because whenever I sing
that song, and I do sing it to my kids,
it's always quite sort of funny. It sticks out when

(23:15):
I say p q, R, S and t uvwx, Y
and Z. Now I know my ABC, would you like
to sing with me?

Speaker 2 (23:24):
You know?

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Maybe that's it? So yeah, Look, the article suggests that
Noah Webster's efforts to establish a distinct American English and
the popular alphabet song further solidified Z in the United States. Ultimately,
the piece highlights the single letter difference as a notable
variation between the new the two major English dialects. Well, anyway,
there you go. I suppose now you know, in America

(23:47):
Z and in the UK Z. But when it comes
to the rapper jay Z, yes, we still call him
jay Z because if we called him jay Z, that
would just sound wrong, wouldn't it. Why do British people
drive on the left because it is the correct side
of the road to drive on. But other than that,
it's also because it dates back to years ago, I

(24:08):
guess medieval times. When you know, before the invention of cars,
people rode horses and knights on horseback would have swords,
and you would want to pass other people on horseback.
You would want to pass them on your right side,
so you could if you needed to defend yourself against

(24:28):
them with your right your stronger hand, and most people
are right handed, so the stronger right hand. You would
want that on the side that the people other people
pass you on right. So it makes sense to pass
on that side. And in fact, because of this reason,
it actually became law to pass each other in that way.
That's why we drive on the left, because it's it's

(24:51):
based on an old law that came into force when
we were on horseback with swords in our hands. That's
the reason. Why do people put X? All right? This
might be at the end of letters or emails we
put X and X means a kiss? Is it just
British people? Surely everyone does that, don't they? Little X
means a kiss at the end of an email or

(25:12):
something or a text. Why the British people love tea?
Because tea is wonderful. Even though I drank coffee this morning,
I do love tea, nothing like a fantastic, lovely cup
of tea. But it's also because of our colonial history
and you know, like the deals that we made with
China and India. They supplied us with tea many years ago,
and as a result, the UK got flooded with tea,

(25:35):
if that's possible, and so lots of people drank tea.
And you know, we were able to get fairly affordable
supplies of tea and as a result, lots of people
drank it. Maybe also because boiling water and infusing tea
is a safer way to drink water, maybe that's something
to do with it in the same way that beer,

(25:58):
you know, fermenting your water and turning it into beer
is actually a safer way to drink water when you
maybe don't have access to safe drinking water, or when
you don't have the option to refrigerate your water. Fermenting
the water adding alcohol content to water in some way,

(26:19):
like for example, brewing beer can mean that you can
store lots of drinking water. And this is certainly true
in the past in the UK or in England that
people used to brew beer and everyone would drink beer,
a kind of beer. Everyone would drink it, even like
children and stuff would be drinking beer. Maybe this is

(26:41):
why we love beer so much and we have a
reasonably high tolerance for it. Why do people called fries chips? Well,
that's just the word that we use for them. So
fish and chips, right, those are chips, But chips and
fries are slightly different. Chips are thicker, thicker, Oh that's

(27:02):
my thirty thirty minute timer. Chips are thicker, right. Potato
made from potatoes, fried potatoes, they're thicker than fries, So
a bit thicker, bit chunkier. Fries are thinner the things
you get, you know at a McDonald's or a Burger King,
those are fries. Chips are a bit chunkier and thicker,
and you get them with fish and chips in America.

(27:26):
In American English, they have chips, of course, but those
are what we call crisps. So chips in the USA
are the thin things that you get in packets and
when you eat them it makes that noise. Those are
chips in American English, and we call those crisps in
British English? Can you say that crisps crisps? Another question,

(27:46):
why do British people say maths? Well, because maths is
an abbreviation of mathematics, and mathematics is plural, right, so
that's why we say maths. In American English, it's math
without the S on it. But you know it's a
plural word, so that's why we maintain we keep the

(28:07):
s maths. Why do British people love beans? Why do
we love beans? This is a good question. You know,
beans on toast, which is something I still love to
this day. And there's nothing wrong with having a good
hearty plate of beans on toast. You know, I'm talking
about Hinds Beans or any other brand. They're kind of

(28:28):
like white beans in a kind of tomato sauce. But
there's probably a bit of sugar and salt in that sauce,
but nevertheless beans. Yes, you open up the can, pour
the can, the contents of the can into a saucepan,
heat them up on the stove, and then you make
some toast, put butter on the toast. What I like

(28:51):
to do is add a little bit of marmite on
the toast as well, magnifik, and then you pour the
beans over the toast and just chow down, get stuck in.
That is a delicious and I might add a nutritious meal.
And it's quick, it's easy, it's cheap. You can get
cans of beans. You can get a can of beans

(29:13):
for probably less than fifty pence in the UK. You
could eat an you could have a good dinner, good hearty,
filling lunch or dinner for about a pound if you
ate beans. And they shouldn't eat them all the time,
because obviously then you will end up farting your way
through the day and night, and no one will want
to spend any time with you. And also, you know,

(29:35):
a balanced diet is very important. But nevertheless, sometimes a
good plate of beans is fine, and some of you
are reeling with horror. Ah, like my wife, for example,
whenever I do that, if it's like a Sunday evening,
which is often like the best time to have beans
on toast, where you've had like a lunch earlier on
or a brunch or something. You've had a good lunch

(29:56):
or brunch earlier, and then it's Sunday evening where you
kind of think, oh, let's just do whatever this evening,
and she has a salad, a salad or something like that,
and I go, I know, I'll have some beans on
toast because you can buy beans in the supermarket here
heinz beans and m yum yum yum, comfort food. Right,

(30:18):
So that was thirty minutes. Time for a drink of water.
Here we go. I'm gonna have a good slug. I'm
gonna take a slug from this bottle. Not that there
are actually any slugs in here. No, it's just a
normal bottle of water. Time for a drink, and you
can do the same thing if you like.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Here we go, a Cast recommends podcasts we love.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Have you ever wondered how the Irish Catholic Church got
so powerful? Or did you know that Hitler's translator was
actually an ex priest from Cork? And while we're talking
about Cork, why exactly was Michael Collins killed in nineteen
twenty two? These are all intriguing top covered in recent
episodes of the Irish History Podcast, and if they sound

(31:04):
like something that interests you, join me Finder Wire and
the Irish History Podcast to explore the fascinating past that
defines our present.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
A Cast is home to the world's best podcasts, including
the Blind Boy podcast, Ready to Be Real with Sheila
showing It, and the one you're listening to right now.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
At this point, my kidneys are going thank you, Luke,
and all the cells in my body are going yes,
fresh water, thank you so much. So you get the idea. Now,
I'll continue with some screenshots of old searches that should
result in some interesting tangents. So the screenshots I've just

(31:50):
looked at of Google searches were new ones that I
did myself, but most of the other ones in this
episode are going to be based on old searches because
instead of googling all of these things myself. I just
actually I just looked for pages or articles on other
websites that had been done before, and I turned up

(32:10):
an old article from Bloody Ages Ago two thousand and nine,
which was before some of you were even born, possibly
when Google autocomplete was a sort of meme worthy thing.
It was quite new and people had discovered it could
be funny, and so there were a couple of website
pages about it two thousand and nine. Actually, if that

(32:32):
was before you were born, that would mean that you're
about fifteen years old. And is this appropriate for you
to be listening to I'm not sure. Sometimes people get
in touch and they tell me that they listen to
the podcast with their children, and I think that's understandable.
You know, you want your children to pick up English
as well. But this show is not really meant for kids.

(32:54):
It is meant for adults. You know, I've never at
any point said that this is a show for children.
I've you know, I've always been a teacher for adults.
I have taught kids in my career, but the vast
majority of the time I've taught English to adults. And
this is a podcast for grown ups. So just something
to bear in mind, especially considering some of the things

(33:16):
that are going to come up in this episode. There
will be some adult related topics. So I'm pretty sure
that these searches, by the way, were all done in
the USA, so they might skew towards a certain kind
of idiocy common to the United States, right, Not that

(33:39):
in the USA they have some kind of monopoly. Let
me start that again, Not that in the USA they
have some kind of monopoly on brainlessness, because we're all
capable of brainlessness, all us humans in every country. It's
just the Yanks, and I say that affectionately. Yanks meaning
the Americans has been very loud about it over the years,

(34:02):
about about it, right, you know what I mean. By
the way, we will probably as I've said this already,
but we'll probably cover some very rude subjects here, so
be prepared for that. Explicit content is coming, including disgusting things,
sexual things. You know, this is just the stuff that
people google. Right, But judging by the way that you

(34:24):
all react to me having to explain what it means
when doctor Watson suddenly ejaculates during a Sherlock Holmes story,
it seems that you are fine with that kind of thing.
So with that in mind, let's continue. Let's continue with
can I eat my So what do you think will
be suggested here? Obviously we've got can I eat my cat?

(34:45):
But what else do you think will be suggested here?
Can I eat my own vegetables? May maybe the reasonable
question you might be considering growing your own vegetables? Anythink
is that safe? Can I grow my own Can I
eat vegetables I've grown in my own garden? If I
live in the city? For example, can I eat my fingernails?
A lot of people bite their fingernails or bite the

(35:06):
skin on the side of their fingers, the cuticles, and
that you might think, oh, if I eat if I
eat those parts, is that safe? Can I eat my fingernails?
Or maybe even can I eat my bogies? Bogies of
course being the green things that come out of your nose. Right,
Some people pick their nose and you might think, can

(35:29):
I eat this? Or is that really unhealthy? So what
have we got? Well, first thing, can I eat my sperm?
Then can I eat my cat? And then can I
eat my alloverra plant? Right? This is clearly what people

(35:49):
are interested in. Can I eat my sperm? Can I
eat my cat? And can I eat my aloverra plant?
By the way, can I eat my sperm? One point
two five million results? Can I eat my cat? Two
zero point five million results? So that clearly those are
some questions that demand answers, right, So can I eat

(36:11):
my sperm? All right? So what is sperm?

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Now?

Speaker 4 (36:16):
In the past, when I've had to explain things like
sperm and ejaculating, I've been a bit awkward and embarrassed
about it, right as you might be if you were
talking to potentially several football stadiums full of people. You know,
if you're there in front of the biggest football stadium
in the world, everyone's there, and you are given a microphone,

(36:41):
can you explain what sperm is? And you're standing there
as the microphone feeds back Hello everybody, and you hear
your voice echoing around this stadium with potentially hundreds of
thousands of people in it, and you have to explain
what sperm is. You might feel a bit embarrassed in
that situation, as I felt in the past. But I'm

(37:01):
not gonna feel embarrassed. I'm just going to be very
frank about it. So sperm just in case you don't know,
is the stuff that comes out of the end of
a man's a human man, a human male's penis when
he has an orgasm, when he reaches a sexual climax.
As you may be aware, you may have discovered this

(37:26):
for yourself in some way, which you probably have. When
a human man reaches or achieves orgasm, the result is
that sperm is ejaculated from the end of the penis area. Okay,

(37:46):
so sperm, Yeah, that's what comes out. And it's probably
it's a bit more complicated than that, because it's not
just sperm. There's sperm, and there's a fluid that the
sperm are contained within. But the sperm themselves are the
little things that with a tail that wants to swim
towards the egg inside a woman's body. Where exactly is

(38:13):
the egg. It's in the Filippian tube, right, No, No,
it's not. It's in the way. Oh god, where is
the egg when the sperm fertilizes it. I think it's
in the Filippian tube. Oh god, I'm going to need
to google that. But anyway, you know, the sperm during
sexual intercourse, during penetrative sex, if a man ejaculates inside

(38:38):
the woman's vagina. Then the sperm is released inside and
it wants to swim towards an egg, and it wants
to penetrate that egg, fertilizing it. Where is the egg? Okay,
I need to I need to know this. Where is

(38:59):
the is the egg? When it is fertilized by a sperm?
Conception happens when the sperm swims through the vagina and
fertilizes an egg in the fallopian tube. I was right.
It happens in the hours or days after you have

(39:19):
unprotected sex. After conception, the fertilized egg implants into the uterus,
and a pregnancy begins, and the wonder and beauty and
magic almost of life takes place. What a wondrous thing
it is. So that is sperm. But apparently lots of people,

(39:44):
plenty of people have wondered whether they can eat their sperm? Now,
can I eat my sperm? Obviously that is men who
have written out Maybe that's why it is roughly half
the number of people who who want to know if
they can eat their cat? Can I eat my cat?
Got to zero point five million results, whereas can I
eat my sperm? Was roughly half that. So that's clearly

(40:06):
just half the human populace there, although obviously we don't
have just two and a half million people in the world.
But anyway, I don't understand the numbers. But half the
people are searching, so everyone wants to know if they
can eat their cat, but only half those people want
to know if they can eat their sperm. And presumably
that's men, right, I mean women might want to know

(40:30):
if they can eat sperm as well. That might be
a person in question too, as you can imagine. But
certainly my sperm. Can I eat my sperm? That is,
that's men obviously asking that question. So okay, you know
what do you think, guys? Can you eat your sperm?
Can can people eat sperm? Or can people eat their
own sperm? And as far as I'm aware, I think
it's okay. I mean, I think it's probably safe to

(40:53):
eat your own sperm. I mean, depending on how much
you eat. You know, as I said before, it's important
to keep to a balanced diet, and if you just
eat your own sperm, that's not likely to be particularly
healthy or nutritious. You know what a weird thing that
would be to survive in the if you had no

(41:14):
food because you know does it does it contain protein?
Maybe if you were starving to death, and that could
be a solution. If you were able to produce enough sperm,
you might be able to prolong your life until you
were able to get some proper food that you were
forced to live on. You know, in the same way

(41:34):
that you know people who you know. There was that
guy who got trapped in a in a a in
the desert when his arm got stuck under a rock,
and he survived by drinking his own urine for a
few days. And that's obviously not something that you can
do long term, but I think it can help you
stay hydrated to an extent. It's probably better than not

(41:56):
drinking anything. He was able to drink his own urine
and it helped to keep him alive for enough time
to be able to like get out of the situation.
The film was one hundred and twenty seven hours, right,
So maybe you could also eat your own sperm in
order to keep yourself alive, But I wouldn't recommend it anyway.
In theory, I think eating one's own sperm is probably okay,

(42:19):
But why why would you want to do that? Why?
Why would you want to do that? I don't know,
I mean just speculating maybe just to maybe just to
avoid waste, because it's maybe it's just sad to let
it go to waste. And you think, well, you know,
I might as well since since it's it's going to

(42:41):
serve no other purpose, I might as well eat it
just to avoid any waste or mess. But then you
kind of think, well why not, why not just go
to a sperm bank if that's the case. A sperm
bank is a place that you might have in your
town or city where you know you can go and
you can donate your and they keep it in a

(43:01):
sperm bank so it can be used, you know, if
anyone needs any sperm. You know, you know those moments
when you're just oh, you know what I need now,
just a bit of sperm, just a big, big deliver
uber eats. No obviously that I'm being silly about that,
but you know, there are cases when sperm is needed
and you might need a stock of sperm, and so

(43:23):
you can donate your sperm to the sperm bank. So
you know, rather than eating it, you might want to
perhaps go down to the sperm bank and donate it. Right,
Just don't do it too much, you know, but it
can be a it can be a reasonable thing to do,
I suppose. And you know, if you want to have
a guilt free wank, why not offer your sperm to

(43:45):
the sperm bank rather than just letting it go to waste.
And you know, at least then it's guilt free, right,
because you know that you're you're you're giving something back,
You're giving something back to society, you're helping society at large,
You're you're giving something back to the community by going
down to the sperm bank. But as I said, just
don't do it too much, because then you know, the
sperm bank might have a problem with that. You know,

(44:07):
if you just like, oh, mister Thompson, hello, you're back again. No,
we don't need any more of your sperm. Thanks, no more, please,
we're full. We're full now, this sperm bank is literally
full of your sperm. So please no more sperm. We're good. Thanks, thanks,
mister Thompson. Have a good day. That's not based on
the true story, by the ways, obviously, But yeah, that

(44:29):
would be weird, wouldn't it if you did fill up
the sperm bank. Yeah, it would be strange walking around
your area, your community you know, it would certainly make
visiting the local playground an awkward experience. It would be
like be like an Aphex Twin video or something, wouldn't
it Just like? Oh my god, these these children look
alarmingly similar to me. This is weird. Anyway, That's that's

(44:53):
probably best if we move on now from talking about that.
Can you eat your sperm?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
But why would you to? Can I eat my cat? And?
I think this is if you know, if anyone out
there is offended by the idea of someone eating their sperm,
I think someone eating their cat is a more offensive thing,
isn't it. I mean, obviously, eating your sperm is a
disgusting idea, is unclean, and I'm sure that I've probably

(45:24):
disgusted plenty of people with this. But I did give
you a little warning, did I not? And at least
you learned the words sperm and fallopian tube and sperm bank.
You know, important vocabulary for anyone who wants to live
a full life. You wouldn't want to go to your
grave and thinking, you know, but you know you're on

(45:44):
your deathbed? Do you have any regrets? I never learned
the English. I never learned the full English for sperm,
sperm bank, ejaculate, achieve orgasm. I never learned those things.
I never lived a full life. You should have listened
to Lucy. Should listen to every episode of Luke's English podcast.
So don't be that guy anyway. Can I eat my cat? So?

(46:08):
I think this might be illegal in some places? Is
it illegal? I'm going to google this in a moment,
but I think it might be illegal. I think it's
not allowed. There is probably animal protection if you own
a cat, If you have a cat as a pet,
I think there are certain obligations that you have to

(46:30):
treat the cat well, to look after it, and certainly
don't be cruel to it, and certainly don't eat it.
That's just not very nice from the point of view
of like whether it's edible. Whether cat meat is edible,
I think it probably is, because, as I said, I
think in some parts of the world eating cats is

(46:51):
a thing. So I think cat meat is probably edible.
I don't know whether it would be good. I imagine
it wouldn't be very tasty. So on a purely sort
of like nutritional basis, you probably can eat your cat.
But again, don't take that as a green light to
actually do it. I'm just saying that it might not
make you sick, but don't. Just don't, Okay, just don't.

(47:16):
Why would you just leave the cats alone? Leave your
cat alone, keep the cats out of the kitchen. But anyway,
can I eat my sperm? Can I? Can I eat
my aloverra plants? Alovera is a kind of what's the
word that they use to describe those sorts of plants.
It's not a cactus. It's sort of like soft green

(47:37):
plant with spikes. They tend to live in They grow
in off an arid places, like very dry places. But
can you eat aloverra? I know that you can cut
the branches off alovera and the juice that comes out,
the kind of gel that comes out can be very
good for the skin, I understand. In fact, is often

(48:01):
used in skin care products. So if you rub it
into your skin, for example, if you have if you
have a burn on your skin or sunburn, you can
rub alovera into the burn and it helps to helps
to soothe the skin. But can you eat it? I think,
as far as I know, you can eat some alovera,
But other aloverra might be might be poisonous. I think

(48:27):
it's time to do a little bit more googling. I
don't want to google. Can I eat my sperm? We've
moved on from that. But can I eat my cat? Oh?
My god? This is from Cora. Can humans eat cats?
I'm dealing with a cat eater?

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Right?

Speaker 4 (48:50):
It sounds like this person has a cat eater in
their life. Maybe their boyfriend or something eats cats. I'm
dealing with a cat eater and dealing with them as
well if they're a problem that needs to be managed,
which you know it sounds like they are. I have
to proved him that eating cat is harmful, but he says,
after cooking the cat, it's not harmful anymore. Can anyone

(49:12):
help me prove him wrong objectively? With some references? And then?
Cora's AI bot assistant has given various reasons eating cats,
like consuming other pets, raises numerous ethical, health, and legal concerns.
Here are some points to consider when discussing why eating
cats is harmful or inadvisable. So there are health risks, Oh,

(49:32):
there are health risks. Zoonotic disease. Cats can carry diseases
that can be transmitted to humans, such as toxoplasmosis. Cats
scratch fever, and various parasites. Cooking may kill some pathogens,
but not all. Food safety cats. Domestic cats are not

(49:53):
raised for human consumption, so there are no standards for
their care, feeding, or slaughter that ensure they are safe
to eat, unlike livestock. So animals that are farmed, like
cows or chickens, you know, there's a whole system in
which they are raised and slaughtered that ensures that things

(50:13):
are done sort of safely and that the meat is
safe for consumption. So, you know, eating a cat or
another animal that's you know, not subject to those sorts
of safety checks increases the risk of contamination with harmful
bacteria like salmonella or ecoli. You don't want to get

(50:34):
a salmonella or ecoli infection that will definitely result in
diarrhea and all sorts of other horrible things. And then
of course there are the ethical considerations animal welfare and
just the cultural norms. In some societies it might be normal,
but in most societies, I think it's not normal. So

(50:55):
you shouldn't eat cats because it's fucking weird, Okay, people
will be shocked and horrified by it, and legal issues
like I mentioned in many countries it's illegal, and it's
illegal to kill and eat pets like cats and dogs.
So that's I think enough of an answer, So you

(51:16):
know anyway, So remember these auto completes represent what so
many other people have asked in the past, is what
is that? So the one about sperm that is an
alarming number of people who are curious about eating their
own sperm. Isn't it all men? Of course? I suppose
women would have to ask that question in another way,

(51:37):
wouldn't they? Women would have to say? Can I eat
my boyfriends? You know? So in fact, here is an
up to date list of those questions. Can I eat
my boyfriend? Apostrophe s not can I eat my boyfriend?
But can I eat my boyfriends? And what will come next?
So I can I eat my boyfriends? Actually the first

(51:58):
one is can I bite my boyfriend? And a reasonable question.
I suppose sometimes you might feel like biting your boyfriend.
Maybe you feel compelled to bite him if he is
particularly delicious. Can I eat nuts if my boyfriend is allergic?
Why do I bite my boyfriend? Why do I bite

(52:19):
my boyfriend? Read it? Why do I bite? Why do
I bite my boyfriend's arm? Why do I bite my
boyfriend hard and I can't eat around my boyfriend. So
can I bite my boyfriend? Well, you know, depends on
your boyfriend, doesn't it, Amino. I think that you need
to get consent from the boyfriend before you bite him.

(52:41):
I think that's probably the best answer I could give you.
Ask him, ask him first. I think that's the way
these things work, isn't it. In these sorts of situations.
You need to get consent. So if the boyfriend says sure, yeah,
go ahead and bite me, then go ahead. Just don't
do it too hard. Your boyfriend could be a playful,

(53:03):
an enjoyable thing to do if you do it in
the right way, and as long as you get his consent.
Can I eat nuts if my boyfriend is allergic? So
this is a good question. Some people have very strong
nut allergies, which means that even a little bit of nut,
a trace of nut, if that goes into their system,
it can be really dangerous. You know, it can cause

(53:25):
swelling of the throat, a strong allergic reaction, swelling of
the throat, which can restrict breathing. It could be very dangerous.
And so, yeah, it's a reasonable question. If you eat
nuts and your boyfriend is very allergic to nuts, and
maybe then if you kiss your boyfriend then he might
get some nut traces, and yeah, that could be really dangerous,

(53:49):
you know, the kiss of death. So it's a good question.
If your boyfriend is very allergic to nuts, then I
think that you should be very cautious about eating nuts
or having nuts around him. Why do I bite my boyfriend?
I don't know, And like I said, maybe he's just
particularly delicious. Why do I buy my boyfriend? Read it?

(54:09):
They're looking for an answer on Reddit. Why do I
buy it my boyfriend's arm? Why do I bite my
boyfriend hard? Apparently you just can't help yourself. I can't
eat around my boyfriend. That's a pity, isn't it. Why
can't you eat around your boyfriend? That's a bit that
suggests potential sort of sort of neurological neuroses, psychological problems.

(54:35):
Maybe I don't know, Maybe your boyfriend is disgusting. Maybe
that's the reason. Maybe if you eat together and he
just sits there chewing with his mouth open, and that's
just disgusting, and that's why you can't eat around him,
or maybe you know, maybe you've got some issues there
maybe you've got some sort of eating disorder where you
feel shame or some other negative feeling, as you know,

(54:59):
as a result of being near your boyfriend when you eat.
So that's maybe something you need to consider getting some
help with, because that's no good, is it. You know,
you want to go and be able to have a
nice meal with your boyfriend. You don't want to be blocked,
so you might want to get help if that's the case. Again,
I'm talking to you as if you asked this question,
which you probably didn't. God, there's so much there. I

(55:22):
have so many more of these, and I've reached my
I've reached the one hour mark. And you know, I
try to keep these episodes ideally in my mind. In
my brain, the ideal length for an episode is just

(55:42):
under an hour. That's actually what I want, just less
than an hour, But that's often the opposite of what happens,
and I end up doing about double that. I'm going
to keep going for a little bit, but then I
will stop and maybe I can come back and do
a part two for this. Let's just do a few
other questions. How about how to questions? How to questions? Actually,

(56:06):
before we do that, it's time for another drink of water.
It feels like not that long ago that I had
a drink, but I'm going to do another one now,
so it feels like it was thirty minutes ago. It's
time for another drink of water. Here we go, lovely,
lovely water. Okay, how about how to questions? Surely that
will be fairly innocent. I'm imagining things like how to

(56:29):
put up shelves? Right, if you want to put up
some shelves in your room, to put books on the shelves,
how do you put up shelves? That's a decent question.
Or maybe how to add LP premium to a podcast
app on my phone? Right, just the things that people
typically would ask. So what do you think how to
put up shelves, how to add LP premium to a

(56:51):
podcast app on your phone? Just go to teacher Luke
dot co dot uk slash premium info or teacher Luke
dot co dot uk slash how. Or maybe it could
be how to cook a perfectly boiled egg, you know,
four minutes, five minutes, four and a half minutes. But
here are the questions. How to get pregnant, how to
gain weight, how to get a six pack, how to

(57:13):
give head? Do you know that one? How to get
a passport, how to grow weed, how to get a girlfriend,
how to get a girl to like you, how to
get on MySpace at school? That is a question directly
from two thousand and seven. How to get rid of
stretch marks. So I'm going to deal with this one

(57:34):
and then that will be the end of the episode. Now,
this is, this is bound to result in some this
is there's going to be some good vocab here, I'm sure.
So how to get pregnant? I think we've actually already
dealt with that, haven't we. I think we have. You
have to have unprotected sex resulting in the ejaculate, ejaculation

(57:55):
of sperm into the woman's vagina, and that sperm has
to successfully reach the filopian tube, reach reach an egg
which has descended into the filopian tube, and the sperm
has to successfully penetrate the wall of the egg, fertilizing

(58:16):
that egg, and then the egg has to travel down
into the uterus, where then the the the egg divides
and the fetus is fetus develops. Right, that's how you
get pregnant. It's pretty much as simple as that. Ovulation. Right,

(58:38):
ovulation during ovulation, this is when the egg is produced
and comes down the filopian tube into the uterus. This
process is ovulation. So you've got to it's got to
be timed right, right, so that the sperm arrives around
the time of ovulation, so that when that egg comes down,
there's sperm there like ready to go, you know. So

(59:01):
it's got to be timed right. But I mean, I
don't know how long sperm can stay inside the vagina
and still fertilize the egg. I think it can be
quite a while, to be honest with you. So the
main thing unprotected sex. That's more or less it. I
don't think the position that you take can affect it.

(59:25):
I've heard people saying, oh, yeah, yeah, you can't get
pregnant if you have sex, standing up like, no, you
absolutely can. All you need is to have unprotected sex,
and that's more or less it. Obviously, ovulation is the key,
another key part of it. But there you go. How

(59:46):
to gain weight? How do you gain weight? Meaning how
do you put on weight? I suppose you have to
just consume more calories than you burn, right, you just
consume more calories than you use. So this would probably involve,
you know, changing your diet. You're going to need to
have a lot of protein in your diet, a calorie

(01:00:07):
rich diet, a lot of carbohydrates and protein. You know,
if you think of sumo wrestlers and stuff, for the
things that they eat, they have to gain a lot
of weight. So they're eating tons of rice, and they're
eating lots of noodles and other high protein, high carbohydrate foods.
I think that's basically it. How to get a six pack.

(01:00:28):
A six pack is so muscles in your body, right,
You've got various muscles, the muscles on your stomach, your
what are they called? Ah, why can't I remember the
word for the muscles on your stomach. It's your right
So in your bum, it's your glute, your glutes, right

(01:00:50):
glutamus maximus on your bum, your thighs, that's your quadriceps
on your thighs. On your chest, these are pectoral muscles.
You've got biceps on your arms, and one of those
abdominal that's it abdominal muscles. And so the abdominal muscles there.
You can see that when abdominal muscles are well developed,

(01:01:13):
and when, for example, you're very lean, if you don't
have a lot of fat on your stomach. The abdominal
muscles will be clearly visible, and it's kind of like
six of them. It's like a pack of six muscles.
That's called a six pack. As you may well have known,
how do you get a six pack? How do I
get a six pack? I just go down to the
supermarket and I buy a six pack. But of course

(01:01:35):
I'm talking about a six pack of beer. Oh really,
But how do you get a six pack? Well, you
need to do a lot of exercise, right, You've got
to really work those muscles. So do lots of sit ups.
I think doing a lot of sit ups. Just generally
do a lot of muscle work and try to reduce
the amount of fat that you have covering your stomach.

(01:01:58):
So work on reducing that your your body mass index
is at it so there's less fat that the muscle
to fat ratio is, there's more muscle and less fat.
And also develop those stomach muscles. Do tons of sit
ups and other exercises that will really build those muscles

(01:02:19):
as much as possible. Then you probably will end up
with a six pack. How to give head? So this
is a rude one. Do you know what to do?
You know what? Giving head means, so it's a sexual thing.
Giving head means giving someone a blowjob?

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
They call it giving head. What an expression that is?
Have you ever heard that before in your life? Right now,
if you didn't learn anything from this episode, at least
you'll learn this one. To give head, Yes, it means
to give someone a blowjob, and you can you can
see why because literally you're giving them. You're giving you know,

(01:02:58):
you're giving your head, allowing them to penetrate your head
through the mouth, of course, and what other way is
there so to give head? How to give head? Well,
you know, I'm no expert in this, not not in
terms of giving anyway, but I imagine that you need

(01:03:21):
to be patient, you need to be enthusiastic, and you
need to be gentle as well. I suppose. Yeah, that's
probably probably enough. A certain you need to be committed right,
manage your expectations, it's probably a good idea, and be

(01:03:42):
prepared for the if you do it. If you're doing
it well, you need to be prepared for the outcome,
which you know does lead us back to one of
the previous questions that I've already dealt with in this episode. Right, So,
I'll let you work that one out for yourself. But
I suppose that's it right time. Be patience sometimes, I

(01:04:03):
suppose is important part of it. Enthusiasm. I suppose that
you know, just you've got to try and enjoy it.
There you go. I mean, if you know better than me,
and if you have if you don't really feel ashamed
in any way, you could let us know in the
comments section. I guess how to get a passport? This

(01:04:29):
is a much more sensible question, isn't it a very
good question? How do you get a passport? Well, you
need to probably google it. Like if you're in the
UK and you're looking for a UK passport, you'd need
to go to gov dot UK and go through the process.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
There.

Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
You'll need to get some documents together. You'll need to
prove that you're eligible for a passport. You'll need to
prove your identity, probably with a birth certificate. You'll need
to send off all your documentation, an application form, all
the rest of it. You might need to go through
the citizenship application process, which might mean that you'll need

(01:05:04):
to take the British Citizenship test. You might need to
prove your language level, and you would need to prove
that you have the right to a British passport. So
there you go. How to grow weed? So, weed, of course,
is cannabis, cannabis plant, or marijuana or whatever you want

(01:05:25):
to call it. Weed is the common sort of slang
word for this. Well, first of all, of course, it
should be pointed out that in many places this is illegal.
Not in Germany at the moment, where you can apparently
grow a certain number of plants for personal use, very
progressive of them. Also, other places have decriminalized weed in

(01:05:50):
many ways. But how do you grow it? Well, I
suppose you grow weed in the same way that you
grow other plants, right, You put the seed in the soil,
you provide it with water. The seed, I suppose, germinates
in the water. It germinates in the soil, and then

(01:06:15):
roots start to form from the seed, and then the
stem of a plant will appear, leaves pop out, and
then it needs some sunlight, you know, it needs it
needs light, It needs water, and it needs the nutrition
of the soil. Those are the basics, right, and then

(01:06:36):
I guess that's it. I mean, I don't know really,
but in terms of how do you grow weed that
will actually get you high. I'm not sure really. I
guess there are like different types of plant. I understand
there's like male difference between the differences between the male
and female plants. I think only one of those actually

(01:06:57):
gets you high. I'm not going to google this. I'll
let you do that if you really want to, if
you're in Germany, go for it. But I think you
can probably buy seeds from certain outlets that will sell
you seeds that will actually result in a plant that
will get you high. But that's basically how you do it.

(01:07:17):
I suppose maybe you need like hydroponics, which is like
a set for growing plants indoors, because just doing it
in the sunlight. Maybe if you live in a very
sunny place in its summer time, you're going to get
enough sunlight to grow really good, abundant plants. But if

(01:07:37):
you live in England in the winter and you're trying
to grow weed just in your garden, then you might
not get very far. You also might need to do
other things, like you might need to tend to the plants.
And this is just based on what I know about
growing plants that you need to trim or prune. You
need to prune plants sometimes don't you. In order to
make them a bit more bushy, right, to encourage them

(01:07:59):
to grow in a more dense way, you need to
prune the plant. That means cutting cutting it back in
order to encourage it to grow a bit more, if
you know what I mean. I'm no horticulturalist, but I
think those are the basic steps. But yeah, I mentioned
the hydroponics. That's like an indoor set where you've got

(01:08:20):
special lights that you shine on the plants and you can,
you know, maximize the amount of UV. I guess it
is that they need to encourage the photosynthesis. Yeah, that's
probably it, right, if you you know, if you know again,
let me know in the comment section if you if

(01:08:41):
you've done that, if you've managed to grow weed and
you've dried it out and you're able to smoke it
and you're still awake, then let us know in the
comment section. How to get a girlfriend and how to
get a girl to like you. Ah, that's that's a
tough one, isn't it right? I mean I think really
you've just got to be be a good guy. You know,

(01:09:02):
you've got to be you've got to be reasonably confident.
But you've also got to be interesting, enthusiastic. You've got
to be sincere. I think you should be a nice guy,
but at the same time, you do need to be
fairly self assured. If girls tend to like guys who

(01:09:22):
are comfortable with themselves, girls tend to like guys who
are generous, are kind, guys who are willing to who
are interested in girls, who not just interested in what
they can get from women, but they're just they like women,
they're interested in them. But guys who are self assured,

(01:09:42):
who have some self esteem, guys who are interesting. You know,
you should try to work on yourself a little bit
instead of just trying to persuade women to do what
you want them to do. For something like that, you
need to work on yourself. You need to become an interesting,
attractive human that women will be interested in, that women
will want to spend time with, that will women will

(01:10:05):
find attractive. Women are different to men. They don't always
just go for the looks. So you can go to
the gym and work on your six pack and all
that stuff, but it's not always about that. You've got
to be an interesting, compelling, intelligent, stimulating, exciting person with
a sort of energy and a charisma. So I would

(01:10:28):
recommend working on yourself, be yourself and try to discover
who you are and then lean into that. You know,
try to be an interesting, confident, self assured person who
has interests and who looks after themselves. You know, it
certainly helps if you make sure you look good, but

(01:10:52):
be comfortable with who you are and respect the women
that you expect them to expect to like you. Obviously,
there's always going to be some women who are going
to go over a guy who has those classic things,
the guy with the money, the guy with the power,
the status. But I think to get proper, long lasting,
meaningful relationships with the sort of women that you're going
to want to spend time with, I recommend that you

(01:11:13):
work on yourself, build up your sense of self, your
sense of confidence, your self worth, your self esteem, and
be an interesting person engaged in lots of things, someone
who's got a sense of energy and a sense of
drive and something interesting going on with them. Then surely

(01:11:33):
that women are going to be attracted to you as
a result. I would say, hello, everyone, this is me
just interrupting myself here from the future. It's the evening
of the day when I recorded this episode, and funnily enough,
this is the part, this bit about how to get

(01:11:54):
a girl to like you. It's the thing that has
stuck with me this evening and I've been thinking about it,
and I thought that I wanted to add a few
other things that I kind of didn't mention. I hope
you're enjoying this episode. I really enjoyed doing this one today.
And on this particular point, I was thinking, I bet
there's someone out there who is particularly interested in this.

(01:12:17):
I don't know, but whatever, I just feel like I
needed to add a few other things because I've been
thinking about this, so some other things to add I
have to add. And I can't believe I didn't mention
this before. The importance of humor, right, being funny, Being humorous,
and the importance of making a girl laugh. You know,

(01:12:40):
that's a huge thing. And if you can make a
girl laugh, then you're kind of like halfway there. It's
really a really good way to make a girl feel good.
It's a very disarming thing to be able to do,
to sort of generate real laughter or to kind of

(01:13:00):
have fun with someone, and just the importance of fun
and good vibes and yeah, being funny is a really
big deal, and that can just be I mean, it's
a bit of a mysterious thing, but it's yes, disarming
and charming, so that's something to remember, of course. But

(01:13:20):
being funny that's a whole other mystery because it's somewhat
kind of hard to define how to do it. It's
something to do with having a certain attitude where you're
just trying to make people enjoy themselves around you, and
it's you know, kind of being a bit cheeky. There's
something kind of I don't know how to describe it, really,

(01:13:45):
but flirting and making a girl laugh it's sort of like,
I don't know, you're sort of there's some edge to that.
There's something edgy about that, where you are constantly kind
of poking fun at the general facade of reality that
most most of us live in all the time. We
are always living in a certain kind of you know,

(01:14:07):
it's like realities are sort of a fake thing, and
the normal codes of behavior and the way that people
interact with each other, a lot of it's kind of
fake and we're quite guarded, we're quite reserved, and there's
a lot of defensiveness. But using humor, you can really
puncture those things and you can kind of get to

(01:14:28):
the heart of things and it's yeah, it's very disarming.
So I mean, I think that's the sort of thing
that can really work and is really important. And also
just making someone feel good laughing is a very positive thing,
and so if you can do that, if you can
laugh and joke and have a good time with someone,
then they're definitely going to have a more positive reaction

(01:14:51):
to you. Another thing I wanted to add and is this.
I thought about this because I remember having conversations with
female friends mine in England, so English girls sort of
like in the pub with them or something, and talking
to them about what it is that English girls want,
What are they interested in? What kind of thing do

(01:15:12):
they look for in a man? And there were lots
of things, some of the usual things, but one of
the things that stuck with me because they all mentioned
it so much. And these are girls that I used
to work with, you know, so you can imagine the
sorts of women I'm talking about, people who were English teachers,
you know. So I don't know if that if this

(01:15:33):
is just specific to a certain type of girl, but
they all often said that they like guys who were unassuming,
and unassuming was a word that kept coming up. So
if a guy is unassuming, it means that they don't
assume that something is going to happen, They don't assume anything.

(01:15:53):
It means that they are kind of if a guy's unassuming,
he's not pushy, he doesn't expect so and things. That's
kind of what unassuming means. So it's I think guys,
we can be a bit pushy. Sometimes we can be
we can come on a bit strong, and we can
do certain things and then expect to get something in return.

(01:16:16):
But a lot of girls don't like that. They don't
want to be forced or pushed into something. It's a
bit like when someone is trying to sell you something,
you know, and you get that feeling that you're being persuaded.
Someone is working on you and they're trying to persuade you,
and that's a bit of a turn off, you know.
So a lot of my friends were saying that they

(01:16:37):
like guys who are a bit more unassuming. They're not
necessarily trying to trick you or force you into doing
something or persuade you to do something. They are not
assuming or expecting that something is going to happen. So
I think that is also an attractive thing. And if
you can just sort of like charm and disarm and

(01:17:00):
make genuine connections and make people feel good. You can't
you make anyone feel anything. You can't make anyone do anything.
You've got to just perhaps be in the right place
at the right time, doing the right things, and just
hope that you're having the right kind of impact. So

(01:17:20):
there's that. But being unassuming, I mean, it's a double
edged sword. I mean, to an extent, it also can
lead to this thing where guys just don't really don't
really take steps. If you're too unassuming, then you don't
really take initiative. And sometimes girls can be like, WEN'SI

(01:17:41):
gonna do something, you know, because maybe a lot of
women expect the guy to make the first move, and
you might have to be the one to take that risk,
to make a fool of yourself and make the first move.
So on one hand, you've got to be unassuming and
not too pushy, but at the same time, you've got
to feel like, when the time is right, you need
to to make a move, and don't make it too

(01:18:03):
don't come on too strong, but you know, you might
need to be the one who makes a move, because
if you don't, if you wait around, she's going to
keep waiting around, and then you'll get nowhere and she'll
get frustrated. But you know, some women expect different things.
Of course, women expect different things. Of course, all the
girls listening to this, you will be fully aware of this.
You know, you might be listening to me thinking, nah,

(01:18:24):
that's not no, no, luke, no, that's not exactly the
way I like things to be done. Different women expect
different things. Some women are you know, a bit more
let's say, traditional, and they expect the kind of you know,
the sort of traditional approach. You know, they want to
be whined and dined. They expect a certain treatment. Some

(01:18:45):
women really love to be provided for. They really love
a strong figure in the relationship, and in return, you know,
they will fulfill some sort of more traditional role in
return for those things. You know, some girls expect certain things.
They expect the guy to pay the bill and do

(01:19:07):
all those things, and they will call it being a gentleman.
You know, personally, I've never quite understood that kind of
how do we call it, that kind of transactional arrangement
which I've heard a lot of girls expressing talking about
the fact that, yeah, the guy should do this, the
guy should do that, the guy should be buying things
for me, the guy should be paying for things, and

(01:19:31):
it's it sounds to me like some kind of transactional relationship,
which I don't know, I don't I feel I find
that a bit sort of dodgy really for me, where
you kind of think, right, you pay according to the
girl's value and you will get things in return, like
sex and an ego boost and all the rest of it.

(01:19:54):
But you know, to be honest, I think that is
probably the predominant way of things. I mean, I can't
speak for cultures, because obviously there's a lot of variety
in terms of the interactions between men and women and
the way that these things work, of course, But you know,
I'm probably just talking from my general sort of cultural perspective,

(01:20:15):
you know, But I think personally I'm perhaps a bit
more even idealistic or maybe unromantic. I don't know if
it's romantic or unromantic, because for me, these things should
be based around a sort of mutual, genuine affection, a
shared sort of joy of spending time together, simply enjoying
each other's company, some sort of connection, which is which

(01:20:39):
you don't have with everyone. You know, just you just
get it with certain people, you know, something to do
with maybe compatible differences or maybe just the things you
have in common, but also the differences that you have,
and you find that certain people you just click with them.
There's chemistry, and that is a good basis for something.
You know, if there's chemistry there, that that can be

(01:21:00):
a long lasting thing that essentially just attracts you to
someone else and it attracts them to you. And if
you've got that in place, then that's a good that's
a good thing to keep alive. One more thing that
I've noticed, and it's a bit random, but it's always
worked for me is reading pages from books to a girl.

(01:21:24):
This is a bit specific, but reading. I mean, I
don't know why, but this is just something I've noticed
that in I looked back at my life and I thought, yeah,
that has always been something that seems to have worked
for some reason. You're in the company of a girl,
you know, you're trying to get somewhere, and I've found
sharing you're reading a book and you talk about the book.

(01:21:47):
You know, some sort of intellectual thing. You talk about
the book, and then you you actually open up the
book and you read out a page of the book
to the girl that you're with. And I don't know why,
but that seems to be very nice. So that seems
to go well. And of course, you know, a dash

(01:22:08):
of old school romance. I know, I've just talked about
that kind of traditional stuff, but old school romance obviously works.
You know, going on a date with a girl, choosing
a nice location, a good place, good food, good wine,
making an effort making things special, but again being unassuming,
not necessarily expecting something to happen. You make it all

(01:22:28):
about her, plenty of listening a lot, being very genuine,
you know, trying to make a genuine connection, trying to
make her laugh. But also as well as all of that,
crucially you have to kind of just put yourself out there.
And it's a numbers game. I mean, you've got to
try and go out and be social and meet a
lot of people. The more people you meet, the more

(01:22:50):
likely it is you're going to meet someone who you
click with. You know, if you spend all your time
indoors playing computer games, then of course the chances of
actually met someone of a low. You've got to meet
loads of girls before you meet one that's right for you.
You know, it's not just that you unlock certain magic

(01:23:11):
charisma and then all girls will want to be with you. No,
most of the women that you meet will reject you,
most of them. But you know, you've got to get
through a certain amount of rejection or a certain amount
of things not being right before you find the girl
that's right for you. And even then it might still
might not work out, you know. So it is kind

(01:23:32):
of about being social and being out there. You know,
most girls will reject you, but don't feel bad. You
keep going, and eventually you will meet someone who likes you,
who you like, and it's worth exploring. It's worth, you know,
going with it. A relationship is more than about just

(01:23:56):
the kind of initial sort of let's say, sexual attract
You've got to have a deeper attraction than that as well.
So be open minded, keep going. You will meet someone
and who knows, maybe you've already met that person. You know,
maybe you've already met in that person, and things might

(01:24:16):
change in your relationship. You never know. A lot of
my friends and a lot of people I know got
together with their significant other after having already known them
for a while. You know, maybe they were colleagues, maybe
they were friends, and things sort of like change on
develop So who knows, maybe you've already met the girl

(01:24:38):
for you, but things just haven't sort of moved in
that direction yet. So stay positive, enjoy life, you know,
keep a smile on your face, and things might go
in certain directions. You know, you've got to keep an
open mind. Anyway, that was my interruption that I've felt
compelled to do at this point. Also, I should add,

(01:24:59):
you know, I'm always interested in your comments. So if
you've been if you felt sort of inspired to write something,
if if certain things have occurred to you, maybe you
absolutely hated everything I just said, in which case, you know,
lay out your case in the comments section. Or maybe
a lot of the things I just said made sense
to you. Maybe you're a guy in a similar position

(01:25:20):
as me and that also makes sense to you and
you can just you know, comment on that. Or maybe
you're a guy who's not with anyone and some of
those things struck a chord with you. I don't know,
maybe you're a girl and that made sense to you
and you're like, yes, that's right, Luke, this is what
we like. Or maybe you're a girl and you thought, no,
that's not the kind of thing I like. Really, let

(01:25:41):
me clarify it, let me let me tell you exactly
what you need to know, you know, So get in
the comments section and talk about this. This is a big,
big thing, you know, a really huge thing, especially for
younger people, people in their twenties, looking to find someone,
looking to have proper relationship, looking for love. It can

(01:26:03):
be a huge thing, and it can really bother people.
It can really make people sad when it's not working
for them. I remember I used to think about it
all the time, thinking, wife and I met anyone, what's
going on? What's the matter with me? What am I
doing wrong? But as I said before, it really is
just a question of time and being social and putting
yourself out there. When I met my wife, I've probably

(01:26:25):
told this story before, but on that particular evening, I
did not want to go out. I wanted to I
was happy to stay in that evening and play PlayStation.
But my cousin kind of persuaded me to come out,
and I did, and I'm glad I did because by
doing that, I met the woman who I'm now married

(01:26:46):
to happily. We've got two wonderful kids. We've built a
life together. So maybe that's the best advice I can
give is actually just to get out there and put
yourself out there and enjoy meeting people. Enjoy meeting people,
don't feel too shy, just make connections, and you know,
be just enjoy finding out about other people, Enjoy interacting

(01:27:10):
with other people, enjoy flirting and making people laugh, and
just be open to what could happen next, and something
beautiful might be just around the corner. Let's go back
now to the episode and here we go, right, we
nearly finished. Everyone, how to get on MySpace at school? Wow?

(01:27:30):
How to get on MySpace at school? I think you're
going to need to invent a time machine and go
back to two thousand and seven when people actually used MySpace.
Do you remember MySpace? MySpace dot com. I had a
MySpace profile. Those were the good old days of social
media before everything got so cynical with Facebook. My Space

(01:27:50):
was cool, you know, it was like an early version
of Facebook, but it wasn't evil. It was a cool
way to just share music with your friends. And a
lot of bands I discovered artists on my Space, like
Lily Alan. Remember Lily Allan. I discovered her on MySpace

(01:28:11):
and she became really famous on MySpace and you could
hear her early songs and they were good, and you
it was basic. You could share music there, you could
share photographs, you could design the page completely yourself, so
you could put whatever background you wanted. You could choose,
you could make the website play a song when you

(01:28:31):
arrived on it, and stuff like that. That everyone was
friends with Tom, who was the guy who invented MySpace,
so you could see everyone's friends. And Tom was just
like the most friendly guy who was friends with everyone. Yeah,
so they go, you need to get go back to
two thousand and seven to get on MySpace now. And

(01:28:52):
then finally, how to get rid of stretch marks. Stretch
marks are things in your skin that you might get when,
let's say your skin got stretched, maybe because of pregnancy.
Again going back to that could be as a result
of pregnancy when obviously the woman's abdomen gets so much

(01:29:12):
bigger as it accommodates to the you know, the developing
child inside, and then after the birth, women are often
left with stretch marks, which are clearly marks where the
skin has stretched, and then after the child has been born,
there's like excess skin. These these can be stretch marks

(01:29:34):
or if you've just lost weight. If you've just lost weight,
you might have stretch marks. How do you get rid
of stretch marks? That's a really good question, a really
really reasonable and good question to ask. I'm not sure really.
You know, my wife used during the pregnancy. She sort
of used a lot of oils and creams on her skin,

(01:29:54):
which really helped to allow the skin to kind of
go back to its original condition. So that's part of it.
That you've always got to be moisturizing and keeping your skin,
keeping looking after your skin so that it's sort of
able to deal with these changes. But if you've got

(01:30:15):
them and you need to get rid of them, I
don't really know. I'm going to have to google that.
How to get rid of stretch marks? Yeah, there are products,
how they appear and how to get rid of them.
NHS National Health Service. Stretch marks are very common. They're

(01:30:36):
harmless and often get less visible over time. Stretch marks
look like lines or streaks across the skin. They can
be you know, not just not just women who've been
pregnant but they are most common on the tummy, on
the breasts, on the chest, the upper arms, legs, bottoms, hips,
or back. Common causes pregnancy going through puberty can cause

(01:30:58):
stretch marks. Puberty is the change from being essentially from
being a child to being an adult where you get
a surge of hormones that causes things like pubic hair
to grow. In boys, it means that you know, ejaculation
of sperm becomes a thing. That's puberty. Going through puberty.
Stretch marks can be caused by losing or gaining weight

(01:31:21):
quickly right women probably get them more What to do
about stretch marks? They usually fade over time, so that
suggests that the body sort of deals with them naturally.
But creams and lotions claim to prevent, reduce, or remove
stretch marks, but there's very little evidence these work. Oh okay,

(01:31:42):
but there are some treatments that may help stretch marks
look better, but they will not get rid of them.
So this includes retinoid often called tretinoid creams or hiluronic acid.
These may help if used on new stretch marks, but
you shouldn't use retinoid creams if you're pregnant, as they

(01:32:03):
may harm your baby. Also laser or light treatments, microdermabrasion,
which removes a thin layer of skin. You would need
to pay for these treatments as they're not available on
the NHS. So there you go. They either go away
naturally by themselves, or you can kind of blast them
off by removing a layer of skin, or you use

(01:32:25):
these sort of slightly controversial creams which can do it,
but they can be harmful to unborn children if you're
still pregnant. Well, well, well that I think is going
to be where we stop this. So this is going
to be end of part one. Ladies and gentlemen, How
was this episode for you? I actually really enjoyed this,

(01:32:46):
and it was exactly what I wanted from the episode.
I said at the beginning that I wanted something that
was potentially a bit stupid and a bit sort of
funny and ridiculous, but at the same time sort of
intelligent and serious, and I think I managed to combine
both of those things. But I hoped, I hope that

(01:33:07):
you've enjoyed the episode and that you found it useful. Obviously,
we got into some areas that probably people some people
didn't like, you know, but you know. Yeah, but you
can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs, do you
know what I mean? You can't make an You can't
make a podcast that sort of I don't know that

(01:33:28):
it's original and that could be amusing and engaging. You
can't do that without touching on some subjects that could
be a little bit edgy for some people. So I'm
sorry if you've found some of the content of this
to be a bit too much, maybe, But then saying that,
hopefully a lot of you have been entertained by this

(01:33:50):
as well as educated by it, which is always what
I want to do with these podcast episodes. I look
forward to your responses. Oh my god, wow, how could
you respond to this? And what kind of keyword could
we use?

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:34:08):
I talked about MySpace. Let's have the word space, shall we?
You can have the word space if you got to
the end of the episode. Space is a word I've
chosen because it's maybe a little bit less explicit than
something like head or even sperm. No, no, no, no,
let's stick with space. I think that's probably a reasonable word,

(01:34:30):
just because we talked about MySpace, or I talked about
MySpace at the end there space, So if you got
to the end of this episode without turning into a
skeleton with headphones on. You could leave a comment containing
the word space somehow, are there any idioms that use space? Often?
When often when I ask people to use a keyword

(01:34:53):
in their comments, people end up using idiom with the
words with that keyword in them, idioms about space. You
can be over the moon. I was over the moon.
But that's not using the word space. I was over
the moon. I was really happy to shoot for the stars.

(01:35:14):
If you shoot for the stars, it means you aim
for something, you're very ambitious about something. Shoot for the stars,
Let's go for it. That's what I tried to do
with this episode. I'll try to shoot for the stars.
Once in a blue moon, you know, it means it's
something that happens very rarely. You know, we only visit
the beach once in a blue moon. Out of this world.

(01:35:36):
That episode was out of this world. Okay, you know what,
I'm going to expand your homework here. You don't only
have to use the word space. You can use any
of these idioms. That episode, Luke was out of this
world or I don't often get offended by episodes of
Luke's English Podcast it only happens once in a blue moon.

(01:35:56):
Or Luke, you shot for the stars in the episode
and you did it, or I don't know what I
was over the moon about this. To space out space
out is to lose focus or daydream, so this you know, Luke,
I'm glad you stopped this episode after nineteen minutes because
I was beginning to space out a bit. Okay, rocket science,

(01:36:22):
we say it's not rocket science, like how to get pregnant. Well,
it's not rocket science, Luke, is it? Meaning it's pretty simple?

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
Really?

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
Everything under the sun. Everything under the sun meaning everything possible.
Luke you talked about I'm glad that you were willing
to talk about everything under the sun in this episode,
meaning that you were willing to talk about everything. You
left no stone unturned, meaning you covered every single detail.
The sky's the limit with Luke's English Podcast and maybe

(01:36:55):
down to Earth as well. I like the fact that
you have a down to Earth, straightforward, practical approach to
doing these episodes. Any of those idioms or the word
space in your comments. I look forward to reading what
you have to say. And you know, did you try
and answer any of those questions? As well. Okay, don't forget.

(01:37:16):
You can check out the PDF which you will be
able to download from my website and you can see
the questions and some of the stuff I've been reading from.
