| 0:03.0 | people, listeners of Luke's English podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | Hello you, how are you doing? |
| 0:07.0 | Here's a quick message just before this episode properly begins, |
| 0:11.0 | a message from me to you. |
| 0:12.0 | Now you can see that I'm |
| 0:14.4 | posting episodes very regularly at the moment. Lots of episodes. Pshh pshh pshh phew. And |
| 0:20.7 | honestly I'm slightly concerned that it's a bit too much. |
| 0:25.0 | Maybe there are too many episodes and you might not be able to keep up with all of them. |
| 0:30.0 | But I just have to get this holiday series published quite quickly so I can then move on to some |

| 1:15.4 | which is a completely bonkers place it's completely mad so you'll hear some |
| 1:20.8 | stories and little anecdotes about Las Vegas. |
| 1:24.0 | You'll also hear about what happened with wrong cars, that wonderful car rental company from |
| 1:30.6 | part one of this series. |
| 1:32.4 | So I hope you enjoy listening to it. This episode is |
| 1:35.4 | sponsored by I Talkie. Their sponsorship makes this whole podcast possible |
