Katrina: I’m watching those guys working across the street.
Justin: Those construction workers?
Katrina: Yeah, those prime examples of manhood. There’s not a flabby gut in the bunch.
Justin: I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate you watching them as though they were pieces of meat. Hasn’t anyone ever told you not to objectify the opposite sex?
Katrina: What? I’m not objectifying anybody. I’m just admiring their six-packs and guns. Look at those long, lean bodies.
Justin: Stop it! It’s demeaning, and on behalf of all men out there, I’m really offended. It’s disgusting.
Katrina: Is it disgusting to have a picture of Megan Fox on the wall in your office?
Justin: That’s different!
Katrina: How?
Justin: It’s her personality I admire.
Katrina: You could’ve fooled me.

About the "Selected MP3 Files for ESL/EFL Students" Podcast
- There is usually one new MP3 file per day. However, sometimes when I'm busy, there will be no new file.
- These are MP3 files chosen for students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or English as a Second Language (ESL).
- These "Englsh-only" MP3 files were selected for students at our university in Japan. However, students from other universities and other countries are welcome to subscribe to this podcast.
