Luke Likes 'Well, Dressed'
Well, dressed, well-dressed, well-dressed? Dressed, dressing, getting dressed, that's very, very confusing in English. It is confusing to get dressed in English, I suppose, get undressed, because you get dressed first, you get dressed, so you put on, put on your clothes and then you wear them, you wear them all day long, you take off your clothes, you get undressed and you want to dress nicely every day, every day. Very confusing, too many words and too many dresses. Dress is a very different thing.
So how about we clear this, clear this up a little, clear this up with a few personal questions?
Here we go, so question number one - do you think a lot about your outfit before you get dressed, get dressed in the morning?
So the question is very simple, I spend sometimes a little time, but mostly I try to spend as little as I can, so no I don't spend much time before I get dressed.Simple.
Question number two - do you put on special shoes around the house and do you take them off when you leave?
Put on your shoes, take them off. So no I don't put on special shoes around the house, I hate slippers, you might remember that I hate them, and I don't take them off, obviously I don't take them off. I do take off shoes around the house, yeah.
Alright, question number three - do you dress differently when you stay at home and when you leave your home, do you dress differently?
So, I do not do that, usually I try to pick, I try to pick the outfit for the whole day and usually I do not change, I do not change when I stay at home. So no, I do not, I do not dress differently at home and when I leave, but I do know that some people do it, some people do it. Personally I do not, I do not.
Question number four - do you have your favourite colour to wear? Do you have your favourite colour to wear?
I do, I do like everyone, like everyone, but also I try to wear some different colours when I feel differently, so yes and no. I think I didn't answer the question. That's alright. So I wear different colours, but usually that's blue, let's say my favourite colour to wear is blue.
And here is the last question, question five, very controversial - do women have better taste, better taste when it comes to fashion and clothes, wearing clothes?
Yes.Not that controversial, after all, after all, not that controversial.
So get dressed, put on your shoes, wear them around the house, take them off if you want and dress casually the whole week, that's the whole story.
Yeah, but remember, never take off your hat in winter, that's just unhealthy and dangerous. Yeah, remember that. Yeah, and wear a jacket. And don't forget to put on your boots, boots, yeah, winter boots. And the gloves, yeah, don't forget to put on the gloves. Oh, and the scarf, the scarf too, put on the scarf. Wear the sweater, all of that. Don't go out. You know, maybe just stay in by the fire, by the fireplace, stay in.
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'On Men And Women'
Oh, it's late now. I'm pretty tired. I'm pretty tired. I have to say I am pretty tired, but I do have, I have my green tea. So I'm pretty happy too. I'm pretty happy and ready, ready. And I think I'm ready to get into trouble today. I think I'm ready to get into trouble because I thought, hmm, what do I talk to you about? What do I talk to you about today? Because I want to talk about clothes, about clothes.
Well, I have this little risky game, little risky gam. So it goes like that. I pick one item, a piece, an item of clothes, and I decide, is it for men? Is it for women? How about this? How about this? Let's play and let's get into trouble. With that, I'm sure I will get into a lot of trouble because of that. And that's so great, I love trouble. Let's go.
Oh, here is the first one. That's sweats, sweats, sweatshirt, or sweatpants. That's for men. Yeah, I would say that's for men. Obviously women too, but yeah, I would say that's for men. I have sweats. I do wear that from time to time. That is very, very casual for me, casual, but I do. So it's decided, for men, for men.
Oh, here is another one. That's going to be so controversial, controversial because it's pants or trousers, pants, trousers. Definitely for men. Definitely. Yeah, for women too.
Let's go with another one. Another one. Oh, I have to admit, I have to say, I have to admit that I think I have just one right now. I had a few, but now I have just one. It's a tie, a tie. And that one is for men. Obviously for men.
Yeah, right, and here is shirt. Well, I am wearing a shirt right now. I have to say this is for men, for men, for women, is this a blouse? Yeah, I suppose so. But for me, shirt, that's men. Mostly, obviously.
Alright, are you upset already? Are you upset already with what I am saying right now? I'm sure you are. I'm looking forward to your messages. I'm looking forward to your messages. I'm looking forward to your comments. Oh my God. What is he talking about? I'm wearing pants right now and I'm not a man.
That one is good. That's slippers. Slippers. Is it for men? Is it for women? I can always say both, but I don't want to say that. I want to be controversial. This is internet. We want to be controversial. I'm gonna say women. I don't have slippers. To be honest, I hate those. I hate those. So no, that's for women. I would say slippers for women, not for men.
Oh, and this is not an item of clothes. This is maybe more like accessories because this is a ring. And I really want to say that's for men but I would more associate, associate that with women and accessories in general, accessories in general with women. So I'm going to say that's women, not men.
And with another one, I don't think I'm going to be too controversial, but who knows, who knows. So here is a dress. A dress. Is it for men or is it for women? Yeah, that's for women and I don't have a dress, I suppose. Yeah, that's all I want to say about that.
Oh, that's an interesting one. Leggings. Leggings. That's for women, but my siblings do a lot of running and I'm pretty sure they own those. Women. That's it. Women.
Alright, and that's tights. Oh, that's tights. Oh my god, that would be so funny if I had ones. Tights are for women. They go perfectly, they go well, they go well with a dress. So women, it is women, for women.
Alright, I could go on and on with that, with this little risky game. So, as I said before, I'm going to get into trouble and I'm looking forward to your messages, to your messages. Yeah, and now I'm going to put on my dress. Why not?
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'When I Die'
I have to, I have to, I have got to, I really have to, definitely, yeah, right now, I have to, I have to do this, I have to do that, I have to, I have to, I really, really have to. Wow, so a lot of things that I have to do, a lot of stuff.
I have to get ready for tomorrow, get ready for tomorrow. Definitely, I have to do that. I have to print, print some materials, print some materials for my students. Oh, what else, what else? I have to revise, revise, look one more time, revise my languages, my languages, I have to revise what I am learning.
Oh, I also have to eat, that's a good idea to eat, I have to eat. But not yet, not yet because I still have to, ah, yeah, I have to read those emails I got, I have to read those emails. And then, well, I have to, oh yeah, walk my dog, I have to walk my dog. I don't have to do that every day, fortunately, fortunately but today it is my turn. I have to walk the dog, and then I also have to feed him, feed him, it's a he, I have to feed him.
Then, I have to pack my things, pack my things, my stuff for tomorrow because I have to start early tomorrow, I have to start early tomorrow and I will not have enough time to do that. Well, I have to clean up a little bit, clean up, yeah, that's a good idea. I have to clean up a little bit also.
And, oh yeah, I just remembered, I just remembered, I have to do laundry, do laundry, do the washing. Also, oh yeah, oh, I don't like that really because I have to get ready, and I have to iron, iron my shirt for tomorrow, I have to iron my shirt.
Oh, and I have to do a lot, I have to do a lot. And we all have to do stuff like that. I can imagine, I can imagine a day when I don't have to do stuff, I don't have to wake up early, I don't have to run, run and start work and be in a lot of places. And I can imagine that I don't have to be in a hurry and I don't have to get ready with things. And I don't have to think about many problems.
Yeah, that's nice. And maybe that's a good idea to think that the only thing I have to do is rest and relax. How about that? That I have to rest and I have to relax, stop thinking about problems, and I have to stop worrying about stuff, and I have to enjoy myself a little bit. Yeah, that's not a bad idea, I have to start doing that.
But now I have to do stuff.
So as my mum says, yeah, she always says, I will rest when I die, I will rest when I die. Now I have to do stuff. So I have to do stuff as well, I have to do stuff as well. So, me too, I will rest when I die, but now, now, I really, really have to record a new episode, a new episode of the podcast. Absolutely, definitely have to do that right now.
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'I Sell'
Yeah, sometimes I sell, I sell things. I should sell, I should sell things. So I don't always buy stuff, but sometimes it is a good idea, it is a good idea to sell things so that you don't have too much, too much. Because, hmm, less is sometimes more, less is sometimes more, as they say, less is more. And I think so too, I think so too.
So it is a good idea to get rid of, get rid of, get rid of some items, some things. And for me it is a lot of things, I have to say, a lot of things. Probably too many, too many. So first of all, first of all, too many clothes, too many clothes. Of course we buy and buy and buy another one, another one and another one.
For example, t-shirt and for example shoes. So I can sell, I can sell a few, a few pairs of shoes, a few pairs of shoes. Sports shoes, yeah, that is definitely too many, too many. And other things like that.
There are a lot of ways to do that right now. Online, online platforms, online platforms for selling second hand, used, second hand items, products. And that's great, that's great because I don't use them, I don't use them but somebody can use them. I think this is perfect. It's a win-win. I get some money for that because I sell it and the other one, the other one, the other person can still get it at a discount, at a discount, because it is used and usually, usually this is just a small part of a price, the original price. Perfect.
What else can I sell? Only my things, only my things. Not other people's things, I don't do that. Probably I could sell some books, I could sell some books. I don't usually do that, I usually buy books and very often used books, used books. Because I believe this is a little, a little waste of money if you buy a new one, especially, especially when it comes to, when it comes to language books, language books, for English, for other languages. You can use it if it is not new. And I recommend it.
The biggest, the biggest and the most expensive things are probably things around the house, which are not that easy to sell, not that easy. Pieces of furniture, yeah, I could do that too, some decorations I don't need and maybe I'm a little bored with, I am bored, they are not interesting anymore and small items like a lamp, like a frame and some small devices, devices like headphones and chargers and stuff like that, stuff like that.
And to be honest, to be honest, I don't do that as much as I would like to. I just don't think about it too often but maybe that should be one of my resolutions for this year.
Really, would you like to get some of my stuff? Please contact me. No, no, no, it's a joke. But yeah, that's a good idea. Give stuff a new life. Give stuff a new life. Don't waste and help the planet a little bit. Help the planet just a little bit.
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'This Coming Year'
So, I watch this video, I watch this video on YouTube, I watch this video on YouTube about, you know what, you know, New Year's resolutions, New Year's resolutions, things that you want to do this new coming year, and yeah, be better, be better.
And one of those things, one of those things, one of those things is limit, limit your screen time, okay? I am watching YouTube about limiting, limiting, reducing screen time.
This is funny, it's really funny.
Yeah, a lot of those New Year's resolutions. For example, do more exercise, do more exercise, you want to do that.
Quit smoking, read more books, read more books you want to be educated, you want to be educated, learn more, learn more, learn a new skill.
And obviously, lose weight, you just have to, you have to lose weight, we all have to lose weight, and you also have to work better, be more effective, more effective.
And this coming year, you want to travel more, you want to visit places, meet new people, have new experiences.
And while you are doing that, you also want to be a better person, a better man, a better woman, a better father, mother, worker, student, anyone.
And never put off things. Just do it right now, you are a robot and you want to do that right now, and you also want to save money and just be perfect every day.
Oh my God. That never works, that never works, it doesn't work, does it? So yeah, try, try to do that, great, and fail, you want to do that, you fail, that's great.
So how about a new idea, you will not fail those. How about that?
This coming year, try, try, and don't, don't do more exercise, just think about it and then, maybe not, maybe not today, maybe, maybe tomorrow. Okay, so just try, try and don't do that.
If you smoke, just go ahead, go ahead, smoke. One day you don't want to do that, just stop, but if you want to do that, just keep doing this, keep doing this, how about this?
And read more only, only, if you like it, because why would you do that if you don't like reading? Just watch something, watch more Netflix, that's your new resolution. Do you watch a lot of TV series, do you watch a lot of TV series? Just keep doing that, have some fun, enjoy it, you will never fail, you will never fail.
And hey, you want to just stay at home and enjoy yourself and don't organize your holiday, because everyone wants you to do that? Just relax, you don't have to travel, you don't have to travel, if you don't want that, just stay at home.
Watch, I don't know, a documentary, documentary, why not? Read a book about it, if you like, if you like, you don't have to travel, you don't, you really don't have to do that, if you don't like it.
And be a better person. Well, maybe, maybe you are good enough, you are good enough, maybe you are good enough as it is right now, and say, well, I'm quite good right now, maybe I don't have to change that. So try, try really, really hard, and don't change that this coming year.
And maybe one more thing, one more thing. Please, try, try, and don't lose weight, don't lose weight this coming year, try and do that, just enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself. It is really hard, it is really hard.
So how about this coming year we all get fat and be happy. Happy New Year!
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'I Buy It'
OK, so from time to time, I do, I do, I buy it. I buy it, and from time to time, I return it. I return, I buy, and I take it back to the shop. Because I am not happy with the product, I am not happy with the product.
Sometimes I buy it, and I don't really get it, I don't really get it. And that's really, really, really disappointing, disappointing. So I'm disappointed, disappointed.
It isn't this week, it isn't this week. It was last week and I need, I need a new mic stand, mic, what's the name? Oh, arm, boom arm. But it's a stand, a new mic, microphone stand.
So what do I do? What do I do? Of course, I go online, online shopping. So I choose the right one. Perfect, beautiful, new stand. And what do I see? The price is good, the price is good. And the delivery is from two to five days, the delivery. So I will get it after two to five days, working days, working days.
And that's not good, that's not good because of Christmas. And I need it, of course, obviously, obviously, I need it before Christmas. I want my mic stand, I want my mic stand.
So I go out and visit my local shop and think I can find it and I can choose it over there. And I have it before Christmas, before Christmas. So I go and ask this shop assistant, 'hey, do you have this stand? I'm looking for this specific stand, I need it'. And she says, 'hmm, I will check it, I will check it.'
So she goes on her little computer and she is searching for the product. And she tells me, 'yeah, we don't have it right now, we can order that for you.' Yeah, sure, when do I get it? 'Yeah, you can get it from two to five days.' Plus it is 20% more expensive, it is 20% more expensive. Oh no, oh no, thank you, thank you. 'Thanks anyway, thanks anyway', that's what I say, thanks anyway.
Oh my, okay, but it is not the end, it is not the end. So the delivery is again, two to five days, it's too long. I come back home, I come back home and the next day I check online again. I check again the website, the website, thesame, same website.
What do I see? What do I see? Delivery guaranteed, guaranteed, before Christmas. Order now, order now and pick up, pick up, so you can get it, you can pick it up at the local shop, in one hour, in one hour.
And then I think this is perfect, I order now and I go back to the shop. Maybe the next day, it's okay, I can give them one day. I come back to the shop the next day, just before Christmas. And what happens?
Hmm, okay, so in English this is this fantastic phrase, this fantastic phrase, so 'it turns out', it turns out, so it happens, so you are all surprised, you are surprised, it turns out, it turns out I still don't have it. I still, after five days, I still don't have it. The shop doesn't have it, the website doesn't have it. Nobody has it. I feel so disappointed.
I don't know what to say. And I think I don't buy it again. I don't need the stand, the mic stand. I'm okay with my old stand. I am over this, I am over this. So I have enough, I am disappointed. I am not buying that.
Oh, I'm sure you have the same experience. You have the same experience, especially before Christmas. Yeah, but what can you do? What can you do? Nothing. Oh.
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Yeah, just do it, do it, do it, just do it. That's a rule, that is a rule. Or, don't, don't do it, don't, don't, nope, don't do that, don't do it. Do you have rules like that?Do you have rules, rules? We all have rules, I'm sure. Yeah. All countries, all countries have some rules like that.
Eat that, don't eat this. Do this, like that, don't do this like that. And so on, and so on, and so on. I am going to give you some rules now. I'm going to give you some rules about one country, about one country. I wonder, I wonder if you can guess what country it is, what country I'm talking about, I am talking about.
So in this country the rule is, just don't shake hands, don't shake hands over the threshold, threshold, this place, this line in the door, don't ever shake hands. Why? No idea, actually. Bad luck, bad luck. Don't do that in this country, don't ever do it.
And when you visit somebody, when you visit somebody at their place, at their place take off your shoes, take off your shoes Don't wear your shoes inside, don't wear your shoes inside. Just take off, take off your shoes, really. That's a big, big rule in this country.
And celebrate, celebrate, not just your birthday, celebrate, not just your birthday, but choose a day in the year, choose a day in the year to celebrate your name day, name day. So celebrate your name day. Sometimes maybe celebrate it a few times over the year, over the year. That would be, that would be fantastic. No, it's just one, it is just one. So celebrate the name day and invite your friends over and get a lot of gifts.
Yeah, and eat your dinner, eat your main meal, eat your dinner, main meal around two, three p.m., two, three p.m. That is your main meal, eat your main meal, have your main meal around two, three p.m. That's the best time to do that. So do it, eat your dinner quite early, two, three p.m.
Okay, and one more rule in this country. I love it, I love this rule. So whenever, whenever you feel it's your bad day and something doesn't quite work out, doesn't work out, doesn't go your way, doesn't go your way, so it is a bad day, say, just say, oh, it's bad air pressure, bad air pressure. It must be the air pressure, it's too high, it's too high, so high air pressure. Or you just say, oh, the pressure today is so low, I feel horrible, I feel horrible. This is because of the air pressure in the atmosphere, in the atmosphere.
So say it and put all the blame, all the blame on the air pressure. It's not your fault. Oh, for example, for example, you fail your exam, you fail your exam, so your exam, your exam doesn't go as planned, well, that's not your fault, that's not your fault, come on, it is not. That's the air pressure, come on, it's the air pressure today, horrible air pressure, yeah.
Or your team, your favourite team doesn't win, must be the pressure, must be the air pressure, of course. Why not, yeah, why not? The air pressure, obviously the air pressure, and so on and so on. This is very, very convenient, very comfortable, convenient to say that. Love this, I love, I say that all the time, all the time.
So if you follow these rules in this country, you will feel at home, you will feel at home. So always, always, always think about these strange rules, maybe they are not that strange. I'm sure you have the rules like that, or maybe you don't, I don't know.
So what country is it? What country is it? If you are not sure, if you are not sure by now, just go back to my previous, previous episodes, previous episodes. I'm sure you'll know that. Yeah, good luck with that, good luck.
Well, it's your turn from now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'It Is What It Is'
It is, what it is. You can't change it, you can't. What can you do? It is, what it is.
Yeah, so it is Tuesday, it is Tuesday, it is evening, it is late, it is getting late, it is 10pm, and well, it is cold, it is cold. It is cold, and it is wet, it is 2 degrees Celsius, I think, 2 degrees Celsius. It is cloudy, it is cloudy, it isn't raining, it isn't snowing, but it is cloudy, maybe a little windy, it is a little windy as well. It is not the best weather.
So yeah. it is what it is, but maybe, maybe it is time to find a warmer destination, maybe it is a good idea, it is a good idea to find a warm destination. How about that? Hey, what do you think? How about that? It is, it is time, it is time to find a better place, maybe.
Well, I'm sure, I am sure it is possible, I'm sure it is possible. It is a little difficult because it is a little far, maybe, and a little hard to get to, it is a little hard to get to, but I believe it is also, it is also worth it, it is worth it. Let's, let's have a look, let's have a look. What's the weather like? What is the weather like now in Sydney? Yeah, Sydney, Australia. Yeah, Sydney, Australia, not Sydney, Germany. No, it's Sydney, Australia, obviously.
Okay, oh no, it is, it is 22 degrees Celsius right now, and it is cloudy. Unfortunately, it is cloudy right now. It is morning, but it is cloudy, and maybe later on, it is a little warmer, 25 degrees, and a little sunny, it is a little sunny. But now, it is cloudy, and also, it is windy. Nope, no, Sydney, no, thank you, Sydney, thank you. Nope, it is a bad idea right now, it is a bad choice right now, I think.
In that case, in that case, maybe it is a better idea, it is a better idea to go to Portugal, yeah, to Lisbon. It is a better idea to go to Lisbon, let me have a look. Okay, oh, it is not bad, it is not bad. It is late evening, of course, but it is 14 degrees right now, 14, and it is a little windy, it is a little windy, but it is, I think, better. I think it is a little better outside, especially tomorrow, it is 19 degrees and sunny. Yeah, okay, it sounds better, better than here.
Okay, but maybe we can find a place where it is much, much hotter. How about Central America, South America. Oh, I know, how about Panama? Let's see, Panama. Okay, oh, I have it, it is 6pm, right, oh my God, it is 29 degrees, it is not bad, it is not bad, but wait, wait, that's so great. It is stormy, stormy right now, it is stormy weather, it is raining heavily, it is raining heavily right now.
Oh my God, and the whole week is going to be like that, is going to be, is gonna be like that. The whole week. Panama, no, thank you. Oh my, oh my, so it is stormy, or it is windy, or it is cloudy, it is too far. Maybe it is better to stay over here, actually, and just wait, just wait when it is summertime. Okay, well, it is what it is, as they say, it is what it is.
Well, it's your turn, now. Embrace the day, people!
