Andrew: Welcome to bonus episode 56 and a half of the Culips English Podcast. I'm your host, Andrew, how's it going? I hope you're doing well. So unfortunately, I won't be able to make a full bonus episode for you this week.

Over the weekend, I finally moved into the house that my wife and I have been renovating for what seems like forever, it's been a really long time. But at last, the project is done, and we've moved into our new house.

We're super happy, of course. But since we just moved in on Saturday, the house is very disorganized, we still have a lot of unpacking and arranging to do.

And I was hoping that we'd be able to get our stuff unpacked fairly quickly and I'd be able to make a bonus episode this week, but it's just not going to happen.

And I think I tend to underestimate how long things take and this was just a great example of me doing just that.

I thought I'd be able to unpack very quickly and get an episode recorded for you all my computer and microphone are still all boxed up somewhere. And to be honest, I'm not exactly sure where they are.

So, I wasn't able to get up and running as soon as I thought I was going to be. I'm actually using my phone right now to record this. So, I'm going to take a little break this week, but I promise to be back next week.

And boy, do I ever have a lot of stories to share with you. Really the good and the bad and the ugly has happened to me in my life recently, I had an absolutely wild week last week, and I have lots to tell you about.

So, stay tuned for those stories, which I will share with you in the near future.

And in the meantime, we released a brand-new Chatterbox episode last week where my cohost Anna and I talk about stepping outside of our comfort zones. So, if you haven't heard that episode yet, please check it out.

It's an interesting conversation, and I'll put the link in the description for this episode, so that you can listen and learn and study with that episode.

Also, I want to really encourage you to check out our brand-new Discord server if you haven't done that yet.

We just launched the Discord about a week ago, and there are already over 450 people or so from around the globe who have joined the Discord server, and it's been so awesome to see the Culips community come together and connect with each other.

We've had a live stream on Discord already, which was really fun and so successful, I think. And we've seen lots of different Culips listeners chatting in the different chat rooms that are available.

I've seen some people practicing English speaking in the different audio chat rooms that are available as well. So, this is just great.

So, please come join in on the fun and practice your English with Culips listeners from around the world in our Discord.

Of course, it's free to join and use and I'll leave the link in the episode description for you so you can find it easily. So, I'm gonna get back to unpacking. I'm sorry again for not having a new episode for you.

But I'll be back next week with a regular bonus episode, I promise. So, take care and I'll talk to you next time, bye!
