In this episode of The A to z English Podcast, Jack is joined by Layla, May, and Hendrick as they discuss the following question:What would you sacrifice for an extra year of year of life? Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:14JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm one of the hosts of the podcast and today I am joined by three of my good friends, Leila Hendrick and me.00:00:25JackAnd we are actually doing a well, a kind of would you rather question and this was brought to me by Layla and the question is what would you sacrifice for one extra year of life so.00:00:43JackFor example, if you were going to live to be 74 years old then.00:00:50JackYou you sacrificed one year. You you only live to be 73 or sorry. You could live to be 75. Sorry you could live to be 75, but you have to sacrifice something. What would you give up?00:01:05JackTo get one extra year.00:01:08JackAnd what we got to put some rules here. It can't be like, oh, yeah, I'll give away my pencil, this pencil. I'll. I'll give sacrifice. It's got to be something that's like important to you. Yeah, that's necessary. Right. Right. So, Layla, what would you sacrifice?00:01:29JackFor an extra year of life, and of course, there's always the option to say nothing you could say I wouldn't sacrifice anything.00:01:37LaylaYeah, right.00:01:39LaylaYeah. And as you, as you mentioned, Jack, the question represents something should be very, very serious and necessary because sacrifice, sacrifice, something that mean that means you have something.00:01:58LaylaYou really need it. You would you. You couldn't live without it, but you have to get rid of it for getting something and or maybe another. Something very precious. So for example.00:02:14LaylaIn my case, I live in a hot country so.00:02:19LaylaCould I sacrifice?00:02:23LaylaAir conditioner air conditioning system to look just in the hot weather for one year.00:02:32LaylaIt's really hard. It's really tough or maybe so it should be something very, very serious and necessary. I think maybe maybe about food as as long as I don't care too much about food, so maybe I will sacrifice me.00:02:34JackRight.00:02:48LaylaIt's it's easy for me to eat vegetables and the bread and something like that, so maybe I can live extra here. Just eating vegetables and without eating meat. I think that maybe.00:03:04LaylaI will say that.00:03:06JackThis is interesting because if you give up meat, that may actually give you an extra year of life, maybe more just because eating meat.00:03:11MayOK.00:03:14LaylaYeah, yeah.00:03:16JackIs kind of.00:03:17JackNot good for us, right. So you're if you become a vegetarian, you might actually.00:03:23JackThe You this might come true. This might be a real like realistic, not just a magical thing, you know, hypothetical. It could be real, yeah.00:03:34LaylaYeah, it's really hard without without having different types of food, but for some people, maybe it will be.00:03:45LaylaPossible like my situation?00:03:48JackYeah, I couldn't. I could not give up meat for, and I don't think I could give up meat for an extra.00:03:56Jack10 years I don't.00:03:58JackThink I don't think there are enough years to to, you know, to to, to, to make me give up meat.00:04:02LaylaYeah, it's really hot.00:04:06JackOhh, but I would love to. I would love to be a vegetarian.00:04:09JackI I know it would be good for me.00:04:11LaylaBut I will never sacrifice my phone and Internet. I I wouldn't. Yeah.00:04:16MayGo on an Internet. OK. I was going to.00:04:20JackSay, would you give up?00:04:21JackEnglish for an extra year of life, no.00:04:23LaylaNo, I couldn't.00:04:27JackBecause like, you're talking about quality of life, right, the quality is too good. You'd rather have a good like, you know, you're still fairly young. So you, you know, you could live for another 40 or 50 years. That means for 40 or 50 years, you have no phone, no Internet, no English. That would be not worth it.00:04:48JackRight for one, OK.00:04:50LaylaI shouldn't live without that.00:04:52JackOK, OK alright. Meat is gone. Phone is in.00:04:57JackAlright, I like it. I like.00:04:58JackIt, Mr. Hendrick, what would you give up for one extra year of life?00:05:09HendrickWow. To be honest, it's quite hard for me to think, but.00:05:15MayI think.00:05:17HendrickI'm gonna give up with social media, yeah.00:05:22HendrickSo I think I only have like a year or so. I just you know like want to.00:05:29HendrickDisappear from social media I think. Yeah. And then just lose contact with.00:05:35HendrickAll of my friends, maybe so maybe after, you know, like I die.00:05:39HendrickSo at least.00:05:40HendrickThey don't feel sad, like they don't know anything about me. So yeah, I just want to, you know, sacrifice from social media.00:05:49JackSo you'd give up Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, you just let it all go.00:05:55HendrickExactly. Yeah. So I just don't want. Yeah, I just don't want, you know, like, my Internet friends feel sad about me.00:06:04JackOhh boy. OK, interesting for one year.00:06:09JackIt's worth it.00:06:10LaylaSo Hendrix sacrifice us. Yeah, yeah.00:06:17JackHendrick is just a distant memory for us because we can't we can't reach.00:06:23JackHim. He ghosted us.00:06:25HendrickOhh no yeah, but actually I think I.00:06:29HendrickDo that because I don't want.00:06:31HendrickTo make you guys feel sad.00:06:36JackAll right. OK. OK. I I was going to say, why don't you just give up Harry Potter? But.00:06:41JackThat's too hard.00:06:42LaylaOK.00:06:44JackWow. No way. Impossible. OK. Social media. Harry Potter is in social media is out alright. OK. Hendrick, thank you for your answer. Thank you for your honesty.00:06:56HendrickYeah, yeah, yeah. Because, I mean, like, I have been spending a lot of time with social media. So I just want to sacrifice it.00:07:06JackSo you can focus on your your masters.00:07:08JackDegree pH. D and yeah, sure.00:07:10HendrickNo, because you.00:07:11HendrickKnow like I only have like a year, you know? And you know, like, I also not spend a lot of time with my family because of social media. So maybe just the last.00:07:26HendrickOne year from my life, so I just want to disappear from social media and maybe spending more time with my family or my friends in this reality life.00:07:35JackOK, Layla may, how long do you give? I give him three months and he's.00:07:39JackBack on Facebook.00:07:42MayI I've been not even 3 days.00:07:45JackNot even 3 days. OK, I'll give you 3 months. Just give you 3 days.00:07:53JackInteresting. Interesting. Very interesting. OK. May you had time to think now what can you give up?00:07:58MayOK.00:08:01JackOr an extra year of life.00:08:04MayThis is extremely challenging for me, but I I think I have my choices. I will sacrifice.00:08:16MayMy time of my.00:08:17MayTime and money, or maybe energy as well.00:08:22MayI will contribute some of my extra money to those who are in need, like probably home for children, home for the elderly, elderly people and maybe if I am, if I'm still available, I will.00:08:43MayContribute some like some of my evening. I will help them.00:08:49MayTo do some work like maybe I can teach them, teach them, teach the children in some English. Or maybe my my local language, so that is what.00:09:02MayThat are the things that I will.00:09:05MayI feel that.00:09:06MayI can say goodbye.00:09:08JackSo may I think you're going to try to buy some time. That's what it sounds.00:09:11JackLike to me.00:09:13JackYou're buying time. You're like, I'm gonna buy. I'm gonna spend some money. I'm gonna do some work. I'm gonna buy.00:09:14LaylaYeah, because.00:09:18JackThat extra time.00:09:18MayI because I am grateful that I have not.00:09:22MayYeah, you need to leave. So why don't I?00:09:25MayShare it with us.00:09:28MayBy doing something good.00:09:29MayAt least when I'm no longer in the world, people will Remember Me.00:09:32MayOh, she helped us before so.00:09:37MayI live a good name.00:09:39JackI mean, what? You're what?00:09:40JackYou're saying is like straight from the, you know, religion, right? It's better to give than to receive. Right. So you're you're describing that exactly, yeah.00:09:52MayI am seeing with each other. I already do. Well, well, I mean my financial is super stable. I'm secure.00:10:01MaySo I'm very healthy at that time, so why not?00:10:06JackYeah. No, I respect it. I I'll accept that answer. I'll accept. I think everybody's answer is legitimate. And my answer is.00:10:18JackYeah, my answer is nothing.00:10:18MayYes, yes.00:10:21JackI will not sacrifice anything for one more year of life.00:10:25JackI'm just gonna let it. It's. I'm just gonna let nature take its course. And if I die a year early, at least I enjoyed myself. You know what I mean? So.00:10:37JackIt's kind of like if you go to a party, you say you can have a you can have an OK time at this party for three hours or you can have a great time.00:10:46JackThis party for two hours. I'll have a great time for two hours and uh instead of an OK time for three hours. So yeah, time doesn't matter. It's quality, quality over quantity.00:11:00JackFor me.00:11:01MayYeah. So you will just you just eat and do whatever you like within the one year.00:11:02LaylaYou've got it. Yeah, you've got it.00:11:08JackI'm just gonna do whatever I want. Eat what I want and let nature take its course. You know, when it's my time, it's my time.00:11:16MayLet's decide.00:11:21MayWait, answer.00:11:22JackYeah, there you go.00:11:24JackAll right, so we've got really four really interesting answers.
