Talking Gelato

from Unexpected English! · host Louis

(EP 17) I do the interview, but my wife gets the gelato? Dang! --> The intro has no transcript... but the show transcript is below! <-- *TRANSCRIPT* So I was walking down the street and I noticed a place called "Gelato Vero" which to me sounds like “real gelato” right? So I thought I would walk in and ask them a few questions. — Hi, umm do you work here? — Yes I do — And could you tell me what flavors we have of gelato here? — Umm right now we have strawberry, cookies and cream, pistachio dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla, mocha almond crunch and gianduia, which is our chocolate hazelnut, spumoni and umm banana. — And what makes this gelato different than normal ice cream? — Ummm it’s prepared differently. it's it's made with little to no air, so it's more dense. — And who makes the gelato? —His name is Michael and he's been making it since 1984 since we opened. — Since 1984 in this location? — yes in this very location — and, but he's not here. — Not right now. he usually works at night actually. — So tell me, since he's not here, is the gelato really good? — It's very good actually. most people say it's the most authentic thing they've tasted here in the United States — Wow! So that means I should taste some, right? — You should definitely taste some! — Well then I guess I'm gonna end the podcast right here so that I can just taste some gelato. Thanks for listening! --> Part II <-- So here I am with my lovely bride who is enjoying the gelato that we just got — MMM, it is so delicious! — I wouldn't know because she's eating it all and I'm not getting any! What's up with that? — Well, you don't like cherries and the flavor that I chose has cherries in it. — What flavor is that? —Spumoni — Spumoni with cherries yeah hmm ok, not my favorite. Why did you get something that I don't like? — Because you said you didn't want any. — Didn't you know I was lying? I'm like Donald Trump, I lie all the time! — Well, that's true. You do lie quite a bit, but I thought you were serious because you had such a big, fat, rich burrito with guacamole and sour cream and cheddar cheese on it — Wait a minute, wait a minute, that's a different podcast! Don't talk about Mexican food when the podcast is about gelato, c’mon, it's. like. confusing the issue. — Well I'm just telling you, and everyone, why you didn't want to have any of the best gelato that we've had in a long time, maybe the best in San Diego — OK well folks you see how I get treated around here. But I'll tell you what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna like, press the stop button right now Oh, dang! it's too late! She ate all of it!! Nothing left for me at all! OK well, there you have it: another true story, another real life story from the... OK thanks for listening. Dang! Bye!
