English Conversation Listening Practice - British English Podcast (With Level Up English)

Okay, so today I've got Michael here from Level Up English.

Tajjeb, allura llum sibt lil Michael hawn minn Level Up English.

Hi Michael, how are you today?

Hi Michael, kif int illum?

Hello.

Thank you for having me.

Bongu.

Grazzi talli kellini.

I'm very good.

Jien tajjeb ħafna.

Good to see you.

If I said to you, how are you?

Tajjeb narak.

Jekk għedtlek, kif int?

And you turned around and said, "well, actually, I'm having a terrible

U dawwart u qal, "tajjeb, fil-fatt, qed ikolli

day", it is not the done thing is?

ġurnata terribbli", mhix il-ħaġa magħmula hu?

I think in general, unless you are really, really close to someone.

Naħseb b'mod ġenerali, sakemm ma tkunx verament, verament qrib xi ħadd.

Uh, when you say, "how are you?"

Uh, meta tgħid, "kif int?"

You're just looking for a very quick "Yes, I'm fine.

Int qed tfittex sempliċiment "Iva, jien tajjeb.

Thank you.

Grazzi.

Let's carry on".

Ejja nkomplu".

It's like an icebreaker or an introduction to your conversation,

Huwa bħal icebreaker jew introduzzjoni għall-konversazzjoni tiegħek,

but genuinely Michael, how are you?

imma ġenwinament Michael, kif int?

Well, I'm a bit cold.

Ukoll, jien daqsxejn kiesaħ.

I've got painful knees, you know.

Għandi l-irkopptejn bl-uġigħ, taf.

What happened to your knees?

X'ġara mill-irkopptejk?

They're always bad.

I did a long walk yesterday, um, for a few hours.

Huma dejjem ħżiena.

Għamilt mixja twila lbieraħ, um, għal ftit sigħat.

Sitting down too much, walking too much, not having a balance of each...

Bilqiegħda żżejjed, timxi żżejjed, ma jkollokx bilanċ ta’ kull wieħed...

Right.

Okay.

...I think isn't good for your joints, is it?

Dritt.

Okay. ...Naħseb li mhux tajjeb għall-ġogi tiegħek, hux?

Yeah.

I find when I'm static.

Iva. Insib meta nkun statiku.

Static's a nice way to describe being very still.

Static's mod sabiħ biex tiddeskrivi li tkun kwiet ħafna.

When I'm static, so if I have a day in the office just sat at my desk,

Meta nkun statiku, allura jekk ikolli ġurnata fl-uffiċċju biss sib fuq l-iskrivanija tiegħi,

I have to actually stand up quite a few times because I start to feel

ikolli fil-fatt inqum ftit drabi għax nibda nħoss

like my knees hurt, my hips, my back,

li l-irkopptejn iweġġgħu, il-ġenbejn, id-dahar,

I feel like an old lady.

inħossni qisni anzjana.

Is walking something that you do often?

Il-mixi hija xi ħaġa li tagħmel spiss?

It is, yeah.

Huwa, iva.

I mean I try...

Jiġifieri nipprova...

I successfully try, I would say, to do it every day, go for at least a...

Nipprova b'suċċess, ngħid, li nagħmilha kuljum, immur għall-inqas...

you know, half an hour walk if I can.

tafu, mixja ta' nofs siegħa jekk nista'.

It's something I really enjoy.

Hija xi ħaġa li nieħu gost ħafna.

I mean, there's nothing I enjoy more really than putting in a podcast,

Jiġifieri, m'hemm xejn li nieħu gost aktar milli npoġġi podcast,

going through a walk, rain or shine.

għaddej minn mixja, xita jew shine.

It might just be the same route I've done a thousand times, or it might be

Jista 'jkun biss l-istess rotta li għamilt elf darba, jew jista' jkun

somewhere new I haven't been before.

xi mkien ġdid li ma kontx kont qabel.

You said come rain or shine.

Lyrics meaning: Inti qal come rain jew shine.

That's a nice little phrase, isn't it?

Dik frażi żgħira sabiħa, hux?

Yeah.

Iva.

It's like whether it's raining or it's sunny, doesn't matter to me.

Qisu jekk hix ix-xita jew ix-xemx, ma jimpurtax għalija.

I'll go out.

Jien noħroġ.

So do you have all the kit then?

Allura għandek il-kit kollu allura?

All the gear?

L-irkaptu kollu?

I've got like a nice winter coat that keeps me warm, but it's not waterproof,

Jien sibt bħal kowt sabiħ tax-xitwa li jżommni sħun, iżda mhux reżistenti għall-ilma,

so I might come back a bit soggy and wet, but I dry my clothes out and

għalhekk nista' nerġa' niġi daqsxejn imxarrba u mxarrba, iżda nixxef il-ħwejjeġ tiegħi u

I find actually the discomfort of walking in the rain makes arriving

nsib fil-fatt l-iskumdità tal-mixi fix-xita li tagħmel meta nasal

home more enjoyable, you know?

id-dar aktar pjaċevoli, taf?

So we'd probably call this hiking, right?

Allura aħna'd probabbilment sejħa dan il-mixi, right?

If you're going for a long walk, maybe over surfaces that aren't level, so it

Jekk inti tmur għal mixja twila, forsi fuq uċuħ li mhumiex livell, allura

might not be an actual purpose-built path, but you're walking in the countryside

jista 'ma jkunx mogħdija proprja mibnija apposta, imma int mixi fil-kampanja

or in the hills, in the mountains.

jew fl-għoljiet, fil-muntanji.

This would be hiking.

Dan ikun mixi.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Wouldn't it?

Tassew?

Mm-hmm. Mhux hekk?

Mm-hmm yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm iva.

Iva.

And I think having a good pair of shoes is really important

U naħseb li jkollok par żarbun tajjeb huwa tassew importanti

if you are into your hiking.

jekk inti qiegħed fil-mixi tiegħek.

So tell me, you've got some good walking shoes.

Allura għidli, għandek xi żraben tal-mixi tajbin.

No!?

Le!?

Well, I'm kind of a minimalist, so I only have one pair of shoes at a time, and the

Ukoll, jien tip ta 'minimalista, għalhekk għandi par żarbun wieħed biss kull darba, u dak li

one I have now, the pair I have now, I didn't realise until after I bought them,

għandi issa, il-par li għandi issa, ma rrealizzajt biss wara li xtrajthom,

but they're not good for wet weather...

iżda huma mhux tajjeb għal temp imxarrab...

Right.

...like even if it's just like a wet field with like grass, my feet will be soaked.

Dritt. ...bħal anke jekk tkun bħal għalqa mxarrba bil-ħaxix bħal, saqajja se jkunu mxarrba.

Oh, I've kind of got used to it.

Oh, stajt tip ta 'drawwa.

In fact, there's a video on my YouTube channel where I was walking on Dartmoor,

Fil-fatt, hemm filmat fuq il-kanal tiegħi YouTube fejn kont għaddej fuq Dartmoor,

like a national park here in the UK and, I was like filming and I jumped

bħal park nazzjonali hawn fir-Renju Unit u, kont qisni niffilmja u qbiżt

across a little stream and I thought it was flat ground, but it was like a bog.

fuq nixxiegħa żgħira u ħsibt li kienet art ċatta, iżda qisni bog.

So it was very, very soft mossy ground, saturated with water.

Allura kienet art mossy ħafna, artab ħafna, saturata bl-ilma.

It looked stable, but it wasn't.

Deher stabbli, iżda ma kienx.

So I ended up like up to my knees in water.

Għalhekk spiċċajt qisni sa irkopptejti fl-ilma.

Oh no.

Oh le.

Um, walking boots.

Um, stivali tal-mixi.

Wouldn't have saved me then anyway.

Ma kienx isalvani allura xorta waħda.

No.

Le.

Well, I've done some hiking in the Dolomites in Italy.

Ukoll, għamilt xi mixi fid-Dolomiti fl-Italja.

Mm-hmm.

Nice.

Mm-hmm.

Nizza.

And we did, um, I think we did six weeks out in Argentina

U għamilna, um, naħseb li għamilna sitt ġimgħat barra fl-Arġentina

and, and went to Patagonia.

u, u morna l-Patagonja.

So I think having decent shoes, good socks, uh, you know, and a

Allura naħseb li jkollok żraben deċenti, kalzetti tajbin, uh, taf, u

windproof jacket if nothing else.

ġakketta li ma tagħmilx riħ jekk xejn.

Yeah.

Did you have the crampons, like the spiked shoes to go on the ice?

Iva.

Kellek il-crampons, bħall-żraben bil-ponta biex tmur fuq is-silġ?

Did you have that?

Kellek dak?

No.

No.

Le.

Le.

So we..., this is one of the stories I often tell, my dangerous adventure story.

Mela aħna..., din hija waħda mill-istejjer li spiss ngħid, l-istorja ta' avventura perikoluża tiegħi.

So we were out in the Dolomites and there was one walk called Punta Ana.

Allura konna barra fid-Dolomiti u kien hemm mixja waħda bl-isem ta’ Punta Ana.

And this is actually via ferrata.

U din fil-fatt hija via ferrata.

Mm.

Mm.

So via ferrata is where you are walking up a mountain, and it's not like, it's not

Mela l-via ferrata hija fejn tkun qed timxi fuq muntanja, u mhux bħal, mhux

mountain climbing, so you're not climbing up a rock face, although sometimes on a

tixbit fuq il-muntanji, allura ma tkunx qed titla’ fuq wiċċ tal-blat, għalkemm xi drabi fuq via

via ferrata you might have to, but it's generally walking on a mountain path,

ferrata jista’ jkollok, imma ġeneralment tkun miexi fuq wiċċ ta’ blat. mogħdija tal-muntanji,

but it could be a little bit treacherous.

iżda tista 'tkun xi ftit treacherous.

And so there is a metal bar that's like a handrail that you have to clip onto

U għalhekk hemm bar tal-metall li huwa bħal poġġaman li trid tikklippja fuqha

that goes all the way along the walks.

li tmur it-triq kollha tul il-mixjiet.

So there's one called Punta Ana, and it was in what we call the shoulder season,

Allura hemm waħda msejħa Punta Ana, u kien f'dak li nsejħu l-istaġun tal-ispalla,

which is when it's not quite the high season, when it's nice and warm, and it's

li huwa meta mhux pjuttost l-istaġun għoli, meta huwa sabiħ u sħun, u mhux

not the down season, the cold season.

l-istaġun 'l isfel, l-istaġun tal-kesħa.

So there was snow on the top of the mountains, but it was lovely and

Allura kien hemm silġ fuq il-quċċata tal-muntanji, imma kien sabiħ u

sunny at the bottom, you know, so we weren't really prepared for the snow.

xemxi fil-qiegħ, taf, allura ma konniex verament ippreparati għall-borra.

We set off late and we didn't have crampons, but we did have a rope...

Tlaqna tard u ma kellniex kramponi, imma kellna ħabel...

Important!

Importanti!

And we came to one bit that was like a saddleback, so it was like

U wasalna għal daqsxejn li kien bħal saddleback, allura kien bħal

between two like hilly sections.

bejn tnejn bħal sezzjonijiet bl-għoljiet.

There was this just ridge that you had to walk across, which I'm sure

Kien hemm din il-linja biss li kellek timxi tul, li jien ċert li

in the dry weather would've been fine, but with it covered in snow...

fit-temp niexef kien ikun tajjeb, iżda biha miksija bil-borra...

and it's a sheer drop on either side of the saddleback.

u hija qatra taqwis fuq kull naħa tas-saddleback.

So you're walking across this ridge that's covered in snow and I was

Allura qed timxi fuq din il-linja mgħottija bil-borra u kont qisni

like, this is just so dangerous.

, dan huwa daqshekk perikoluż.

One slip and it's sudden death.

Żelqa waħda u hija mewta f'daqqa.

This is no messing around.

Dan huwa l-ebda messing madwar.

This is death.

Din hi l-mewt.

So we used the rope that we had to go over the rope that was supposed

Għalhekk użajna l-ħabel li kellna ngħaddu minn fuq il-ħabel li suppost kien

to be for the via ferrata, but that was very high above our heads.

għall-via ferrata, iżda li kien għoli ħafna fuq rasna.

So we, we looped this rope over, tied one side around my partner,

Allura aħna, qabbdejna dan il-ħabel, intrabtu naħa waħda madwar sieħbi,

one side around me, and we said, if you fall, the other person has to

naħa waħda madwari, u għidna, jekk taqa, il-persuna l-oħra trid

jump off the other side to balance.

taqbeż minn fuq in-naħa l-oħra biex tibbilanċja.

And then we, we, you know, very carefully walked across this saddleback,

U mbagħad aħna, aħna, taf, imxiet b’attenzjoni kbira tul dan is-sarġ,

but what we realised was, you know, we weren't gonna turn back now.

imma dak li rrealizzajna kien, taf, ma konniex se nduru lura issa.

This was getting serious.

Dan kien qed isir serju.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And then we had a sheer rock face in front of us, a vertical rock face

U mbagħad kellna wiċċ ta’ blat taqwis quddiemna, wiċċ ta’ blat vertikali

that we had to properly climb up.

li kellna nitilgħu sew.

Again we only had walking boots on, which was a mistake because our

Għal darb'oħra kellna biss boots tal-mixi fuqhom, li kien żball għax saqajna

feet kept slipping off the rocks.

baqgħu jiżolqu minn fuq il-blat.

It was awful.

Kien orribbli.

Again, we knew at this point we can't come back now.

Għal darb'oħra, konna nafu li f'dan il-punt ma nistgħux nerġgħu lura issa.

We can't come back.

Ma nistgħux nerġgħu lura.

That's the scary part.

Dik hi l-parti tal-biża’.

We were halfway up and we realised we were making bad time.

Konna nofs triq u indunajna li konna qed nagħmlu ħin ħażin.

The last cable car from the top of the mountain was gonna go really

L-aħħar cable car mill-quċċata tal-muntanja kienet se tmur

soon, and that was it for the season.

malajr ħafna, u dak kien għall-istaġun.

That was gonna be the last cable car for the season, and we were too far

Dik kienet se tkun l-aħħar cable car għall-istaġun, u konna wisq lura

behind, so we started shouting out.

, għalhekk bdejna ngħajtu.

We could see there was some people far in the distance.

Stajna naraw li kien hemm xi nies 'il bogħod.

Shouting out, saying, please, we're here.

Għajjat, tgħid, jekk jogħġbok, aħna qegħdin hawn.

Don't go without us.

Tmurx mingħajrna.

Anyway, long story short.

Xorta waħda, storja twila qasira.

We made it, we were exhausted.

Għamilna, konna eżawriti.

We made it just in time.

Għamilna eżatt fil-ħin.

They were holding the cable car for us and they said, you know..

Kienu jżommu l-cable car għalina u qalu, taf..

Wow!

Ara naqra!

"...we, we were about to pull out the mattresses at the station for you

"...aħna, konna waslu biex noħorġu s-saqqijiet fl-istazzjon biex inti

to spend the night up here, but you would've had to hike out the next day."

tqatta' l-lejl hawn fuq, imma int kont ikollok titla' l-għada."

And I, and we would had no food.

U jien, u ma kellna l-ebda ikel.

You know, it was just, it was a very dangerous situation.

Taf, kienet biss, kienet sitwazzjoni perikoluża ħafna.

Have you ever had anything like that?

Qatt kellek xi ħaġa bħal dik?

Yeah.

Your story is terrifying.

Iva. L-istorja tiegħek hija tal-biża’.

I'm really glad you made it...

Ninsab kuntenta li għamiltha...

made it back okay.

għamilha lura sew.

But yeah, like, I guess I must have been about like 15 or something and my dad

Imma iva, bħal, naħseb li kelli madwar 15-il sena jew xi ħaġa u missieri

took me on a via ferrata in the Alps.

ħadni fuq via ferrata fl-Alpi.

Okay.

And I didn't really know what it was.

Okay.

U ma kontx verament naf x’kien.

I kind of trusted my dad, like, yeah, it'll be fine.

I tip ta 'fiduċja missieri, bħal, iva, se jkun tajjeb.

And it kind of starts out climbing a ladder.

U tip ta 'jibda jitla' sellum.

It's not too bad.

Mhux ħażin wisq.

You have to have yourself hooked in with your harness and your...

Trid ikollok lilek innifsek imqabbad bl-arness tiegħek u...

your ropes.

So it's not really possible to fall.

il-ħbula tiegħek.

Allura mhux verament possibbli li taqa '.

Although I kind of always think, why are we trusting these metal poles?

Għalkemm dejjem naħseb, għaliex qed nafdaw dawn l-arbli tal-metall?

Like, you know, everything breaks one day.

Bħal, taf, kollox jinkiser jum wieħed.

How do we know it's not gonna be today...

Kif nafu li mhux se jkun illum...

Um, but then as we ascended, it turned more and more into a cliff.

Um, imma mbagħad kif tlagħna, inbidel aktar u aktar f'irdum.

And I think, as you said before, it was like a cliff.

U naħseb, kif għidt qabel, kienet qisha irdum.

It was just vertical and it was, you know, just like ladders and

Kienet biss vertikali u kienet, taf, bħal slielem u

metal things you had to hold onto.

affarijiet tal-metall li kellek iżżommhom.

So it was like proper climbing, but it was safe.

Allura kien bħal tixbit xieraq, iżda kien sigur.

Yeah.

And it was, you know, good holds to hold onto, but looking

Iva.

U kien, taf, iżżomm tajjeb, imma tħares

below me and just seeing...

taħti u nara biss...

for me in my, you know, younger mind, it felt like hundreds of feet below me.

għalija f'moħħi, taf, iżgħar, qisni mijiet ta' piedi taħti.

I don't know how much it really was, but it was just terrifying.

Ma nafx kemm kien tassew, imma kien biss tal-biża’.

And we didn't...

We made it to the top, but if you look back on the photos of that day,

U ma għamilniex...

Għamilna fil-quċċata, imma jekk tħares lura lejn ir-ritratti ta’ dak il-jum,

you can see like my face is just grumpy for the whole day after that.

tista’ tara li wiċċi huwa biss maħmuġ għall-ġurnata kollha ta’ wara.

I was in such a bad mood.

Jien kont f'burdata ħażina daqshekk.

I think I'd just been traumatised, you know.

Naħseb li kont għadni trawmatizzat, taf.

What worries me about the via ferrata is you have to have a special

Dak li jinkwetani dwar il-via ferrata huwa li jrid ikollok xi

harness thing to hook on with.

ħaġa speċjali ta' xedd biex tgħaqqad magħha.

So you have your harness...

Allura għandek l-arness tiegħek...

...which is what you wear, and then you would normally, with climbing,

...li huwa dak li tilbes, u allura normalment, mat-tixbit,

you'd have a rope and some carabiners, which are the connecting metal loops.

ikollok ħabel u xi carabiners, li huma l-loops tal-metall li jgħaqqdu.

That's right, isn't it?

Carabiners?

Hekk hu, hux?

Carabiners?

Yeah.

Iva.

When you do via ferrata, you have a special, I think it's called a tether,

Meta tagħmel via ferrata, għandek speċjali, naħseb li tissejjaħ tether,

um, a special tether that is all bunched up into a short, what feels

um, tether speċjali li huwa kollu magħqud f'qasir, dak li jħoss

like a short rope or a short lead, and to connect from your harness through

bħal ħabel qasir jew ċomb qasir, u biex tgħaqqad minn xedd tiegħek permezz

to your carabiner that you hook on.

lill carabiner tiegħek li inti ganċ fuq.

So it feels short.

Għalhekk iħossu qasir.

But then what would happen is if you fell this tether tears and it

Imma mbagħad x'jiġri hu jekk waqa' din l-irbit u tirrilaxxa

releases quite a long stretch of like, I don't know, 10 metres or something.

medda twila mhux ħażin bħal, ma nafx, 10 metri jew xi ħaġa.

It's quite a long stretch.

Huwa pjuttost twil.

Mm.

Okay.

So it's all bunched up inside this tether.

Mm. Okay.

Allura dan kollu magħqud ġewwa dan l-irbit.

It tears open if you fall.

Tiċrit tiftaħ jekk taqa.

And the idea is that it, it's taking some of the momentum out of your fall

U l-idea hija li dan, qed jieħu ftit mill-momentum mill-waqgħa tiegħek

as it's tearing, it's slowing your fall down because if you were to just...

hekk kif qed tiċrit, qed inaqqas il-waqgħa tiegħek għax kieku kellek biss...

you need space.

għandek bżonn spazju.

But if you were to fall and you had a lot of rope, you could get tangled up in it.

Imma kieku kellek taqa’ u kellek ħafna ħabel, tista’ titħabbel fih.

And also the momentum, by the time you hit the end of the rope, the momentum

U wkoll il-momentum, sa meta tolqot it-tarf tal-ħabel, il-momentum

would be so hard, you'd break your back...

ikun tant iebes, int tkisser dahrek...

mm-hmm.

mm-hmm.

or some bones from your harness.

jew xi għadam minn xedd tiegħek.

It would just be too much impact.

Ikun biss wisq impatt.

So it has to slow your descent.

Għalhekk trid tnaqqas l-inżul tiegħek.

So that's when you have this tearing...

Allura dak huwa meta jkollok dan it-tiċrit...

interesting

interessanti

...to release the rope inside this tether.

... biex tirrilaxxa l-ħabel ġewwa din l-irbit.

Which means if you have a fall and you tear it, it's used, you can't

Li jfisser li jekk ikollok waqgħa u tiċritha, hija użata, ma tistax

restitch it, so it's, it's done.

restitch, allura huwa, huwa lest.

So you have your fall, you use your tether, and it's like releasing

Allura għandek il-waqgħa tiegħek, tuża l-irbit tiegħek, u qisha tirrilaxxa

your parachute, but then you need to get back in the plane and carry

l-paraxut tiegħek, imma mbagħad trid terġa 'lura fl-ajruplan u tkompli

on and jump out the plane again.

u terġa' taqbeż l-ajruplan.

You'd be unlucky to fall twice though, wouldn't you?

Int tkun sfortunat li taqa' darbtejn għalkemm, hux?

Well, so, but if you...

Tajjeb, imma jekk int...

imagine you're, you're tired and the weather's bad.

timmaġina li int, int għajjien u t-temp ħażin.

Yeah.

You're halfway up a mountain or halfway through a via ferreta and

Iva. Int nofs muntanja jew nofs via ferreta u

you fall, your tether's done, spent.

taqa’, l-irbit lest, intefaq.

Then you have to climb yourself back onto the..., you know, you

Imbagħad trid titla’ lilek innifsek lura għal fuq..., taf,

might be hanging from an overhang.

tista’ tkun imdendla minn sporġenza.

Somehow you have to get back onto the mountain, back onto the

B'xi mod trid terġa' lura fuq il-muntanja, terġa 'lura fit-

path, and then, and then you...

triq, u mbagħad, u mbagħad int...

what do you do then?

x'tagħmel imbagħad?

You've got no safety rope, not really, not a, not a genuine one that's gonna actually

Ghandek l-ebda ħabel tas-sigurtà, mhux verament, mhux, mhux wieħed ġenwin li fil-fatt se

work for you, to get you either all the way there or all the way back, you know?

jaħdem għalik, biex iwassalk jew it-triq kollha s'hemm jew it-triq kollha lura, taf?

Mm-hmm.

That's always what bothered me when we were doing these very long, quite

Mm-hmm.

Dak dejjem iddejjaqni meta konna nagħmlu dawn

arduous hikes, is that potentially, if I have one fall in the middle, then...

it-tlugħ twal ħafna, pjuttost iebsin, huwa li potenzjalment, jekk ikolli waqgħa waħda fin-nofs, allura...

I'll, I'll be without any real safety afterwards.

jien, inkun mingħajr ebda sigurtà reali wara.

Yeah.

I feel like that's a difference between us and the pros, right?

Iva. Inħoss li dik hija differenza bejnietna u dawk favur, hux?

The pros seem to not, the professionals, they don't, they

Il-vantaġġi jidhru li le, il-professjonisti, le,

don't think about this almost.

ma jaħsbux dwar dan kważi.

It's like they, they take precautions, but the idea of failing

Qishom, jieħdu prekawzjonijiet, imma l-idea li jonqsu

isn't even an option for them.

lanqas mhi għażla għalihom.

Like if you've seen people do free soloing where they climb cliffs

Bħal li kieku rajt nies jagħmlu free soloing fejn jitilgħu l-irdum

without any rope or safety equipment.

mingħajr ebda ħabel jew tagħmir ta’ sigurtà.

Like I guess, I imagine they just don't have the concept of failing.

Bħal naħseb, nimmaġina li sempliċement m'għandhomx il-kunċett ta' falliment.

Like it's not even in their mind.

Bhal li lanqas f’mohhom.

'cause if it were, probably it's more likely to happen.

għax kieku kien, probabbilment huwa aktar probabbli li jiġri.

I guess that's how it works.

I raden li huwa kif taħdem.

Things like gymnastics and, and climbing as well, but with

Affarijiet bħall-ġinnastika u, u t-tixbit ukoll, iżda bil-

gymnastics it's like 95% mental.

ġinnastika qisha 95% mentali.

Like what you are thinking is what's going to happen.

Bħal dak li qed taħseb huwa dak li se jiġri.

So you have to get your mind in the right place and not think about falling.

Allura trid tpoġġi moħħok fil-post it-tajjeb u ma taħsibx li taqa’.

If you think about it, if you visualise it, it will more likely happen.

Jekk taħseb dwarha, jekk taraha, aktar probabbli jiġri.

Mm-hmm.

And if you are scared, you hold back and you tense up in a way that will cause

Mm-hmm.

U jekk tibża’, iżżomm lura u tittensjoni b’tali mod li jikkawża

the incident or the accident to happen.

l-inċident jew l-inċident iseħħ.

Fear is an obstacle to overcome, but at the same time, it is there to protect us.

Il-biża’ hija ostaklu li tingħeleb, imma fl-istess ħin, qiegħda hemm biex tipproteġina.

So it's, it's..., I guess there's a balance of appropriate

Allura huwa, huwa..., Naħseb li hemm bilanċ ta '

levels of fear, isn't there?

livelli xierqa ta' biża ', hux?

But I guess I can relate to that.

Imma nista' nirrelata ma' dan.

Like I'm a big fan of, I dunno what you'd call it, it's a bit like scrambling.

Bħal li jien fan kbir ta ', ma nafx kif inti'd issejjaħlu, huwa daqsxejn simili scrambling.

It's not climbing.

Mhix tixbit.

I'm not a fan of that after my traumatic childhood, but more like, um,

Jien m'iniex fan ta' dan wara t-tfulija trawmatika tiegħi, imma aktar bħal, um,

... It's where you use your hands and feet, isn't it?

... Huwa fejn tuża idejk u saqajk, hux?

it's where you use your hands and feet to climb up like rocky terrain.

huwa fejn tuża idejk u saqajk biex titla’ bħal terren bil-blat.

I feel like it's like parkour in the countryside.

Inħoss qisha parkour fil-kampanja.

Like I love kind of jumping over rocks, jumping over rivers and stuff like that.

Bħal I love tip ta 'qbiż fuq blat, jaqbeż fuq ix-xmajjar u affarijiet bħal dawn.

I think I'm quite good on my feet in that sense.

Naħseb li jien pjuttost tajjeb fuq saqajja f'dak is-sens.

But as soon as you start to think about how it could go wrong, then you mess up.

Imma hekk kif tibda taħseb dwar kif jista’ jmur ħażin, allura tħawwad.

Yeah.

Like imagine you're jumping over a stream.

Iva. Bħal immaġina li qed taqbeż minn fuq nixxiegħa.

It's quite a big stream, a wide stream.

Huwa pjuttost nixxiegħa kbira, nixxiegħa wiesgħa.

If you think about like, oh, it's too big, it's...

Jekk taħseb dwar bħal, oh, huwa kbir wisq, huwa...

I can't do it, then you're gonna fall in.

ma nistax nagħmel dan, allura inti se taqa 'pulzieri

But if you just focus on the other side and you just go for it, then

Imma jekk inti biss tiffoka fuq in-naħa l-oħra u inti biss tmur għaliha, allura

you'll almost definitely do it.

inti' kważi definittivament ser nagħmilha.

So it is very mental.

Għalhekk huwa mentali ħafna.

Many things are.

Ħafna affarijiet huma.

I always think if you were able to live for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of

Dejjem naħseb li kieku kont kapaċi tgħix għal mijiet u mijiet u mijiet ta’

years, would we just end up being bored?

snin, nispiċċaw niddejjaq?

Would we exhaust all the options of, you know, adrenaline sports?

Nixtiequ neżawrixxu l-għażliet kollha ta’, taf, sports ta’ adrenalina?

Would nothing excite us anymore?

M'għandu xejn aktar iħajjarna?

Well, a counter-argument to that,

Tajjeb, kontro-argument għal dan,

it depends what you mean by living, how, how we would live for that

jiddependi xi tfisser billi ngħixu, kif, kif ngħixu għal dak

long, because, and really interesting thing I like to think about is, say

it-tul, għax, u ħaġa tassew interessanti li nħobb naħseb dwarha hija, ngħidu aħna

if we discovered through medicine, like how to, how to live for

jekk skoprejna permezz tal-mediċina, bħal kif , kif ngħixu għal

a thousand years, I think we'd be the most risk averse species.

elf sena, naħseb li nkunu l-aktar speċi avversa għar-riskju.

You know, we, we wouldn't do anything risky because let's say

Taf, aħna, ma nagħmlu xejn riskjuż għax ejja ngħidu li

you are like I dunno, 40 years old, and you sadly pass away doing

inti bħal ma nafx, 40 sena, u sfortunatament tgħaddi tagħmel

something dangerous, it's very sad.

xi ħaġa perikoluża, huwa ta’ diqa ħafna.

But I guess you're like middle-aged then, aren't you?

Imma naħseb li int bħal ta’ età medja allura, hux?

You, you can...

Yes, I am middle-aged Michael

Int, tista'...

Iva, jien ta' età medja Michael

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I don't know your age, I promise.

Oh, jiddispjaċini ħafna.

Ma nafx l-età tiegħek, inwiegħed.

I'm 41.

Għandi 41.

I'm 41.

Għandi 41.

You don't look it.

Ma tħaresx.

You look very, very young.

Inti tidher żgħira ħafna, ħafna.

Look younger than me and I'm...

Ħares iżgħar minni u jien...

it's okay.

okay.

I'm only playing with you.

Jien biss nilgħab miegħek.

I don't mind.

I ma mind.

Oh, you've made me, um feel awkward now.

Oh, għamiltni, um tħossok skomdu issa.

No, it's okay.

Le, huwa tajjeb.

But I get what you mean.

It's, it's relative, right?

Imma nirċievi dak li trid tfisser.

Huwa, huwa relattiv, id-dritt?

You feel like you've, you've lived half your life.

Tħossok qisek, għext nofs ħajtek.

If I were to die tomorrow, it wouldn't be as sad as if I died when I was 15

Kieku kelli mmut għada, ma tkunx daqshekk imdejjaq daqs li kieku kont tmut meta kelli 15-il sena

because there's less life ahead of me now than there was when I was a teenager.

għax issa hemm inqas ħajja quddiemi milli kien hemm meta kont adoloxxenti.

Yes.

And if you were to live to a thousand, if that were possible when you

Iva.

U kieku kellek tgħix sa elf, kieku dan kien possibbli meta tmut

died at 40 or even 80, that would be a huge tragedy because you're

ta’ 40 jew saħansitra 80, dik tkun traġedja kbira għax qed

missing out on most of your life.

titlef ħafna minn ħajtek.

Yeah.

Iva.

So I feel like people wouldn't do as much if we lived for that long, you know?

Allura nħoss li n-nies ma jagħmlux daqshekk kieku ngħixu għal dak iż-żmien, taf?

Yeah.

We'd be much more cautious, I imagine.

Iva. Inkunu ħafna aktar kawti, nimmaġina.

Yeah.

And maybe we'd work harder on our relationships.

Iva.

U forsi naħdmu aktar fuq ir-relazzjonijiet tagħna.

And it's interesting to think how, what we would do for careers.

U huwa interessanti li naħsbu kif, x'se nagħmlu għall-karrieri.

Would we actually change careers many times and try out many different things?

Fil-fatt se nbiddlu l-karrieri ħafna drabi u nippruvaw ħafna affarijiet differenti?

It would certainly give us more options, wouldn't it?

Ċertament jagħtina aktar għażliet, hux?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, iva.

I wonder because there's a lot of projects that people have

Nistaqsi għax hemm ħafna proġetti li n-nies bdew

started before that they...

qabel li...

I think about big cathedrals and things and space programs that they

Naħseb dwar katidrali kbar u affarijiet u programmi spazjali li huma

know they're not gonna see the end of which is always really amazing

jafu li mhux se jaraw it-tmiem tiegħu huwa dejjem tassew aqwa

that people can commit themselves to doing part of a project in their life.

li n-nies jistgħu jimpenjaw ruħhom li jagħmlu parti minn proġett f'ħajjithom.

But I imagine there'd be a lot more people doing important stuff

Imma nimmaġina li jkun hemm ħafna aktar nies li jagħmlu affarijiet importanti

like, "okay, I'm gonna dedicate my life to curing this disease.

bħal, "okay, jien ser niddedika ħajti biex infejjaq din il-marda.

(it) Might take me 500 years, but it's doable".

(dan) Jista 'jieħuni 500 sena, iżda huwa fattibbli".

I wonder how, um, how we'd look if we lived to a thousand.

Nistaqsi kif, um, kif inħarsu kieku ngħixu sa elf.

You see some people who...

Tara xi nies li...

who do manage to make it to a hundred, but our bodies aren't really built...

li jirnexxilhom jaslu għal mija, imma ġisimna mhux verament mibni...

really for, for surviving that long.

tassew għal, biex igħixu għal dak it-tul.

It is interesting when you touch, we touch on longevity and things.

Huwa interessanti meta tmiss, aħna tmiss il-lonġevità u l-affarijiet.

I actually follow, a chap called David Sinclair, he's someone

Fil-fatt insegwi, chap imsejjaħ David Sinclair, huwa xi ħadd

who I've mentioned a lot.

li semmejt ħafna.

Yeah.

And we actually adjust our lifestyle to, to kind of follow some of the things

Iva.

U aħna fil-fatt naġġustaw l-istil tal-ħajja tagħna, biex insegwu xi wħud mill-affarijiet

that he teaches to help you to live a longer life because I really would

li jgħallem biex jgħinuk tgħix ħajja itwal għax jien verament nixtieq

like to live for a very long time.

ngħix għal żmien twil ħafna.

I certainly want to live till I'm a hundred.

Ċertament irrid ngħix sa mitt.

I don't know if I'll get there, but..., even if I make it to 80,

Ma nafx se nasal s’hemm, imma..., anke jekk nasal sa 80,

I want to make sure that I'm as healthy as I can be until that age.

irrid niżgura li nkun b’saħħtu kemm nista’ sa dik l-età.

That's the key, isn't it?

Dik hija ċ-ċavetta, hux?

Yeah.

I don't wanna be a burden.

Iva.

Ma rridx inkun ta’ piż.

I mean, in my view, it's not all about numbers.

Jiġifieri, fil-fehma tiegħi, mhux kollox dwar in-numri.

Yeah.

Iva. Huwa dwar, taf, nippreferi ngħix 60 sena b'saħħithom milli mitt sena

It's about, you know, I'd rather live 60 healthy years than a hundred years

where half of them are not, you know, in good condition when you can't do much.

fejn nofshom ma jkunux, taf, f'kundizzjoni tajba meta ma tistax tagħmel ħafna.

Yeah.

And you know, I've got two children, I would've liked more children, but

Iva.

U tafu, għandi żewġt itfal, kont għoġobni aktar tfal, imma

you know, that just hasn't happened.

taf, dan għadu ma ġarax.

And I don't want to be that burden on my children.

U ma rridx inkun dak il-piż fuq uliedi.

I don't want them to have to, you know, figure out if they're gonna put me in a

Ma rridx li jkollhom, taf, jaraw jekk humiex se jpoġġuni f’dar

home or have to, you know, look after me.

jew għandhomx, taf, jieħdu ħsiebni.

And I'd love to be able to be very active with my grandchildren as well

U nixtieq inkun nista’ nkun attiv ħafna man-neputijiet tiegħi wkoll

if I'm blessed with grandchildren.

jekk inkun imbierka bin-neputijiet.

And so, you know, getting out and, and walking on a regular basis.

U allura, taf, toħroġ u, u timxi fuq bażi regolari.

They do say that you should walk around 10,000 steps a day.

Jgħidu li għandek timxi madwar 10,000 pass kuljum.

A lot.

Yeah.

Ħafna.

Iva.

A lot.

I think in modern life, doing a thousand, 10,000 steps a day is a lot.

Ħafna.

Naħseb fil-ħajja moderna, li tagħmel elf, 10,000 pass kuljum huwa ħafna.

What's that like?

X'inhu dak?

I guess an hour and a half roughly of walking.

Naħseb siegħa u nofs bejn wieħed u ieħor mixi.

I can really hear that.

Jien nista' tassew nisma' hekk.

Cornish accent.

Aċċent Cornish.

It comes out in some, in certain words.

Joħroġ f’xi wħud, f’ċerti kliem.

Yeah.

Iva.

We were talking about accents.

Konna nitkellmu dwar l-aċċenti.

I previously appeared on Michael's podcast, which you should all go and check

Preċedentement kont deher fuq il-podcast ta’ Michael, li lkoll għandek tmur tiċċekkja

out if you're not already familiar with it, which is the Level Up English podcast.

jekk m’intix diġà familjari miegħu, li huwa l-podcast Level Up English.

Right.

Dritt.

There'll be links in the description here, so you can check that out.

Se jkun hemm links fid-deskrizzjoni hawn, sabiex tkun tista' tiċċekkja dan.

Um, we were talking about accents and uh, Michael asked me if I could

Um, konna nitkellmu dwar l-aċċenti u uh, Michael staqsieni jekk nistax

tell where he was from and I said it was quite hard to pinpoint.

nagħraf minn fejn kien u jien għedt li kien pjuttost diffiċli biex nippunta.

I said, somewhere, maybe around Bristol, he's actually Cornish.

Għidt, x'imkien, forsi madwar Bristol, huwa fil-fatt Cornish.

And, um, the more I'm speaking with Michael, the more I can

U, um, aktar ma nkun qed nitkellem ma' Michael, aktar nista'

hear the ah sound coming out.

nisma' l-ħoss ah ħiereġ.

So that's why my reaction was, uh, came out there.

Għalhekk, ir-reazzjoni tiegħi kienet, uh, ħarġet hemmhekk.

But yes, 10,000 steps a day.

Imma iva, 10,000 pass kuljum.

I think if you are sitting in an office and you are very busy,

Naħseb li jekk inti seduta fl-uffiċċju u inti okkupat ħafna,

it's quite hard to get that in.

huwa pjuttost diffiċli li tikseb dak pulzieri

Something I discovered recently though is you can get treadmills

Xi ħaġa skoprejt reċentement għalkemm hija inti tista 'tikseb treadmills

that go underneath your desk.

li jmorru taħt l-iskrivanija tiegħek.

So if you did manage to get a standing desk, you can walk while you are working.

Mela jekk irnexxielek tikseb skrivanija wieqfa, tista 'timxi waqt li tkun qed taħdem.

I've also seen ones where you can sit down, but it's like..., like

Rajt ukoll dawk fejn tista’ toqgħod bilqiegħda, imma qisha..., bħal

bicycle pedals under the desk as well.

pedali tar-roti taħt l-iskrivanija wkoll.

I've heard they're quite good.

Smajt li huma pjuttost tajbin.

I wonder how much you'd be able to concentrate if you are, if you're

Nistaqsi kemm tkun kapaċi tikkonċentra jekk int, jekk qed tiċċaqlaq

moving, would it be as easy, especially when you're doing what we do?

, ikun faċli daqshekk, speċjalment meta tkun qed tagħmel dak li nagħmlu aħna?

You can't do a podcast when you've got something whirring,

Inti ma tistax tagħmel podcast meta inti ħadthom ltqajna xi ħaġa whirring,

to whir is like a noise, like a constant, {makes a whirring noise}.

li whir huwa bħal storbju, bħal kostanti, {makes a whirring noise}.

You couldn't podcast with that, could you?

Ma stajtx podcast b'dan, jista'?

Why is Michael doing this.

Għaliex Michael qed jagħmel dan.

Moving side to side.

Nimxu minn naħa għal oħra.

Yeah, I do have a pull-up bar in my garden.

Iva, għandi pull-up bar fil-ġnien tiegħi.

'cause I really just enjoy just every now and again, just hanging

għax jien verament nieħu gost biss kull tant żmien, biss imdendel

and trying to do a pull-up.

u nipprova nagħmel pull-up.

Can you do a pull-up?

Tista 'tagħmel pull-up?

Yes.

I was gonna ask you how many you can do if, if any.

Iva.

Kont se nistaqsik kemm tista’ tagħmel jekk, jekk ikun hemm.

Oh, well, I mean from a dead hang all the way up, I can probably only do one.

Oh, tajjeb, ngħid minn mejjet hang it-triq kollha, probabbilment nista 'nagħmel waħda biss.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

But if, uh, if it's kind of like with a bit of a jump up and maybe not going

Imma jekk, uh, jekk tkun xi ħaġa simili bi ftit qabża 'l fuq u forsi ma terġax tinżel

all the way back down again, then I can probably get out about three or four.

lura, allura probabbilment nista' noħroġ madwar tlieta jew erbgħa.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I'm relatively strong in my upper body, but I was watching something, I think

Jien relattivament b'saħħtu fin-naħa ta 'fuq ta' ġismi, imma kont qed nara xi ħaġa, naħseb li

it was a YouTuber just the other day who said something, a large, I can't remember

kien YouTuber il-ġurnata l-oħra li qal xi ħaġa, kbira, ma nistax niftakar

the figures, but a majority of Americans couldn't do one pull up from a dead hang.

iċ-ċifri, iżda l-maġġoranza tal-Amerikani ma setgħux jagħmlu wieħed pull up minn hang mejta.

Yeah, I believe it.

Iva, nemmen.

And he was trying to put it to the test.

U kien qed jipprova jpoġġiha għall-prova.

He was just out in a, like a busy street asking people to come and

Huwa kien biss barra fi, bħal triq traffikuża titlob lin-nies biex jiġu u

do one pull-up and he'd give them a hundred dollars if they did.

jagħmlu pull-up wieħed u kien jagħtihom mitt dollaru jekk jagħmlu.

And surprisingly many people couldn't do it.

U sorpriżament ħafna nies ma setgħux jagħmlu dan.

I think I, I think I saw that actually.

Naħseb li jien, naħseb li rajt dan fil-fatt.

Did you?

Int?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Iva.

Iva.

And some people, I think that was it, the YouTuber himself, he could

U xi nies, naħseb li kien hekk, il-YouTuber innifsu, huwa jista '

do it for a couple minutes or something, but most people couldn't.

jagħmel dan għal ftit minuti jew xi ħaġa, iżda ħafna nies ma setgħux.

Yeah, he did, he did like 21 pull-ups or something.

Iva, għamel, għamel bħal 21 pull-ups jew xi ħaġa.

He was like, um, he'd trained in the Marines or something.

Kien qisu, um, kien imħarreġ fil-Marines jew xi ħaġa.

It made me then want to go and do some pull-ups.

Ġegħlitni mbagħad irrid immur nagħmel xi pull-ups.

I think I could do, like, I could probably do like two or something.

Naħseb li stajt nagħmel, bħal, x'aktarx nista' nagħmel bħal tnejn jew xi ħaġa.

I'm not, I'm not very good, but I sometimes try at the gym I

Jien mhux, jien ma tantx tajjeb, imma kultant nipprova fil-gym li

go to, they've got a bar but I want to get better at that too.

mmur, għandhom bar imma jien irrid insir aħjar f'dak ukoll.

One is easy, two is a struggle.

Wieħed huwa faċli, tnejn huwa taqbida.

Then after that, it, you know, it depends.

Imbagħad wara dan, tafu, jiddependi.

When I was climbing, I could do a lot more pull-ups than, than I can now, and that's

Meta kont nixxala, stajt nagħmel ħafna aktar pull-ups milli, milli nista’ issa, u dan

just because I'm not climbing very much.

biss għax ma tantx qed nixxala.

You do get a good bit of upper body strength with squash, and you certainly

Ikollok daqsxejn ta 'saħħa tal-parti ta' fuq tal-ġisem bl-isquash, u ċertament tagħmel

do with gymnastics, but during lockdown, I was pregnant with my second son,

bil-ġinnastika, iżda waqt l-illokkjar, kont tqila bit-tieni iben tiegħi,

and I put on four stone with my second pregnancy, which will mean nothing

u lbejt erba 'ġebel mat-tieni tqala tiegħi, li

to you probably, but it's a lot.

x'aktarx ma jfisser xejn għalik , iżda huwa ħafna.

Usually you should put on about two stone with a pregnancy.

Normalment għandek tpoġġi madwar żewġ ġebla bi tqala.

So I put on four, and that's because it was locked down.

Allura lbejt erbgħa, u dan għax kien imsakkar.

I couldn't go anywhere.

Ma stajt immur imkien.

I couldn't measure myself.

Ma stajtx inkejjel lili nnifsi.

I had no way of weighing myself, so I had no clue about my weight gain really.

Ma kelli l-ebda mod kif niżen lili nnifsi, għalhekk ma kelli l-ebda ħjiel dwar iż-żieda fil-piż tiegħi verament.

And so when I had my child, and then I came back to my sports,

U hekk meta kelli lit-tifel tiegħi, u mbagħad ġejt lura għall-isports tiegħi,

which was gymnastics and squash.

li kien il-ġinnastika u l-isquash.

I had terrible knees because I'd gained all this weight.

Kelli irkopptejn terribbli għax kont qbadt dan il-piż kollu.

And it took me a lot longer to lose it.

U domt ħafna aktar biex nitilfu.

And then all my muscles and my joints just weren't happy.

U mbagħad il-muskoli kollha tiegħi u l-ġogi tiegħi sempliċement ma kinux kuntenti.

So yeah, getting back into climbing and gymnastics still hasn't yet happened.

Allura iva, li terġa’ tidħol fit-tixbit u l-ġinnastika għadha ma seħħx.

I'm back, I'm fully back with my squash, but it's a long road.

Jien lura, jien lura għal kollox bl-isquash tiegħi, iżda hija triq twila.

It's a long road back to previous levels of fitness.

Hija triq twila lura għal-livelli preċedenti ta 'saħħa.

Yeah, you can get back there, but I think it's so much easier to lose health

Iva, tista’ terġa’ lura hemm, imma naħseb li huwa ħafna aktar faċli li titlef is-saħħa

than it is to gain it back, isn't it?

milli li terġa’ tiksebha, hux?

It takes a lot longer to regain muscle or lose fat.

Huwa jieħu ħafna aktar żmien biex jerġa 'jikseb il-muskoli jew jitlef ix-xaħam.

It's, it's a shame how that works.

Huwa, huwa tal-mistħija kif taħdem.

Yeah.

My mum used to say, when I was eating biscuits she'd say "A minute on the lips,

Iva. Ommi kienet tgħid, meta kont niekol gallettini kienet tgħid "Minuta fuq ix-xufftejn,

a lifetime on the hips", thanks, mum.

ħajja fuq il-ġenbejn", grazzi, omà.

Just before this podcast, I was feeling a bit peckish, a bit

Eżatt qabel dan il-podcast, kont qed inħoss daqsxejn peckish, daqsxejn

hungry, so I picked up some cookies, some biscuits, and I was like...

bil-ġuħ, għalhekk qabadt xi cookies, xi gallettini, u kont qisni...

I put it down and had like a handful of nuts instead.

poġġejtha u kelli bħal ftit ġewż minflok.

So I feel good about my morning.

Allura nħossni tajjeb dwar filgħodu tiegħi.

Well done.

Proset.

Well done.

We...

Proset.

Aħna...

see this, this tin behind us is full of ginger snap biscuits.

naraw dan, din il-landa warajna mimlija gallettini ginger snap.

My in-laws keep buying us these same tins 'cause we were

Il-kunjati tiegħi jibqgħu jixtrulna dawn l-istess laned għax konna

like, "oh, they're amazing".

, "oh, huma tal-għaġeb".

But I really wish they wouldn't because I just can't stop eating them.

Imma tassew nixtieq li ma jkunux għax ma nistax nieqaf niekolhom.

It's terrible, especially when it's cold.

Huwa terribbli, speċjalment meta jkun kiesaħ.

Next time I'm in Cornwall, you'll have to tell me where I can go to have

Id-darba li jmiss li nkun Cornwall, ikollok tgħidli fejn nista' mmur biex nagħmel

a good walk or a scramble perhaps.

mixja tajba jew ġirja forsi.

Yeah,

likewise.

Iva, bl-istess mod.

When I'm in Surrey, I don't think I've been to Surrey before.

Meta nkun Surrey, ma naħsibx li kont ġejt Surrey qabel.

I'm not sure.

So we'll have to let each other know.

M'inix ċert.

Għalhekk ikollna ngħarrfu lil xulxin.

Yeah,

Iva,

yeah, absolutely.

iva, assolutament.

Well, thank you so much.

Well, grazzi ħafna.

Can you let the listeners and viewers know where they can find you?
