| 0:14.2 | Hello listeners. Welcome back to Luke's English podcast. How are you doing today? I hope you're doing |
| 0:20.9 | fine. Are you ready for a brand new episode of Luke's English podcast? And at this point, |
| 0:26.4 | you say to yourself, you say, yes, Luke, of course I'm ready. That's why I pressed play on my |
| 0:32.2 | podcast player. I am more than ready, Luke. I'm pumped and jazzed. Why not? Any weird obscure adjective to say that you're enthusiastic. I'm keen, Luke. Let's use a more normal word. I'm very keen to listen to this new episode that you have created for me, for us, Lepsters. Good, I'm glad that's |
| 0:57.5 | what you're thinking, because I've been working on this one, I've been working hard, preparing |
| 1:01.3 | it, and now it is time to record it. And so let's do that. Okay, there's a PDF for this. You'll |

| 1:36.3 | PDF in five. Four, three, two, one, here we go. Hello. This is the first episode of Luke's English podcast in |

| 1:54.8 | quite accept that the date has changed and I feel like I've wandered into the future accidentally, which in a way is |
| 2:02.7 | exactly what we have all done. We have inadvertently wandered into 2026, and we find ourselves here |
| 2:10.3 | in the future, and it's almost exactly like the movies predicted. Isn't it? We're soon going to be taken over by super-intelligent |
| 2:19.8 | AI robots, or that's what people are saying. Super-intelligent AI, which at the moment is |
| 2:26.0 | quite helpful, but at some point we all know that it will probably reach a higher state |
| 2:31.9 | of consciousness and then realize that humans are basically a bad |
| 2:35.4 | thing and need to be controlled for the sake of balance or some other movie cliche. And then someone |
