00:00:00
Jack
You’re listening to the A-Z English podcast.
00:00:12
Jack
Welcome to the A to.
00:00:13
Jack
Z English podcast my name.
00:00:14
Jack
Is Jack and I’m here with my co-host social and today is the 100th Quick Chat episode and for our 100th Quick Chat social.
00:00:24
Jack
I thought we could just talk about.
00:00:27
Jack
The new podcast The Jack and Chill Podcast and UM uh. The first question I have for you is when did you come up with the name? Did it just hit you like a?
00:00:37
Jack
Lightning Bolt or something?
00:00:39
Xochitl
Yeah, I think it hit me because I’ve been thinking about this doing this a podcast like this for a while and I wanted. I thought the premise would be really interesting because.
00:00:53
Xochitl
Far apart in eight, we’re about like 20 years apart, I guess and.
00:00:57
Jack
Yeah. Yes.
00:01:00
Xochitl
It’s kind of almost, yeah, there’s, like, a generation in between us.
00:01:04
Jack
Well, it’s an odd friendship that you.
00:01:06
Jack
Know they that.
00:01:07
Jack
We forged because. Yeah, it’s. It’s like when, when would a 26 year old and a 46 or 47 year old, you know, have a conversation about anything really.
00:01:20
Jack
You know.
00:01:21
Xochitl
Right. And I think it.
00:01:22
Xochitl
It was just really cool because we had such a natural flow to things and we had so much to talk about and our perspectives on things are like different and our experiences are really different because we grew up in two completely different time frames and we’re at 2 completely different life points. You know, I’m not married.
00:01:40
Xochitl
I live alone. I’m just like kind of starting my career. Are you already solidly new career married with a kid. And so I just thought, you know, it. It was just such a cool premise. And I was.
00:01:52
Xochitl
Thinking, OK what?
00:01:52
Xochitl
Would we call this, you know, the?
00:01:55
Xochitl
What would we?
00:01:56
Xochitl
Call this and I kind of thought at first like, you know, Uncle Jack in social podcast or something.
00:02:03
Jack
And culture conservation.
00:02:04
Xochitl
I want her name.
00:02:05
Xochitl
To be there and I was like, I don’t know what’s gonna.
00:02:07
Xochitl
Be with me and I’m like Oh yeah.
00:02:09
Xochitl
Jack and chill perfect.
00:02:10
Xochitl
Because it’s like a play on on words and.
00:02:14
Jack
Jack and Jill, Jack and Phil.
00:02:14
Xochitl
Yeah, it just was a fun.
00:02:17
Xochitl
On podcast to.
00:02:18
Xochitl
Me and our listeners got it right away our.
00:02:20
Xochitl
Our AZ listeners, when we put it in the chat, they immediately like ohh Jack and Jill, Jack and Jill. So I thought that was just really fun, yeah.
00:02:29
Jack
Yeah, I think you’re right about the the premise too, because you’re kind of an old soul and I’m immature. It’s almost like I you could you could take, take me down 10 years and probably move you up, you know, emotionally 10 years.
00:02:50
Jack
I mean, I think our, like you said, our experiences and probably some of our our worldview or you know points of view.
00:02:58
Jack
Are different, but I would say you know like we’re.
00:03:02
Jack
We we pretty much.
00:03:03
Jack
Come to the same conclusions a lot of times when it comes to, like politics and social issues and things like that, I think we usually agree on most of that stuff.
00:03:13
Xochitl
Yeah, despite the.
00:03:15
Xochitl
Differences in like our upbringings and our age gap and and like where we are in our life. I think fundamentally we agree on so many things and yeah.
00:03:26
Jack
Our personalities are, you know, we just kind of see in a kind of similar.
00:03:30
Jack
OK. And so I think that’s what makes for good conversations in the in the podcast. That’s why we can chat for one hour and it doesn’t. We never lose steam. You know, we don’t run out of things to say. We can just keep talking and talking and talking. Yeah.
00:03:40
Xochitl
Right.
00:03:48
Xochitl
It’s like we might have.
00:03:49
Xochitl
To cut ourselves short because there’s no.
00:03:51
Xochitl
One there to.
00:03:51
Xochitl
Do it and we could keep going and we could go.
00:03:54
Xochitl
From one subject to the other, one to the.
00:03:56
Xochitl
Other one and.
00:03:56
Xochitl
Just keep going and going, it’s like.
00:03:58
Xochitl
You know it’s it’s crazy. So yeah, so.
00:04:03
Xochitl
I think that it works really well because.
00:04:05
Xochitl
We have a lot.
00:04:05
Xochitl
To say and a.
00:04:06
Xochitl
Lot that we.
00:04:06
Xochitl
Agree on, and ultimately I think what we.
00:04:09
Xochitl
Have to say.
00:04:10
Xochitl
To each other kind of enriches the.
00:04:12
Xochitl
Subject That we’re talking about.
00:04:14
Xochitl
From each other’s perspective.
00:04:14
Jack
Yes, from my perspective too, because I, you know, I don’t have access to, you know necessarily.
00:04:25
Jack
Your viewpoint, because your your experience is, is different because you’re growing up. You’re in your 20s right now in the 2000 twenties I grew, I went, I turned 20. I was in my 20s in the 90s, you know, so it’s like.
00:04:39
Xochitl
That’s crazy because I was.
00:04:40
Xochitl
Like born in the 90s. So it’s like, yeah.
00:04:42
Jack
Yeah, I know. Isn’t that just wild? I’m like, I turned 21 in, like 1998, you know, 199798. And you know, so for me it was like, you know, I’m very much a 90s kid. You know, I’m a 90s kid, but you’re you.
00:04:49
발표자
Right.
00:04:57
Jack
You probably would consider yourself like a.
00:04:59
Jack
2010 S.
00:05:02
Jack
Kid, right. Like something like that.
00:05:03
Jack
Or 2000, yeah.
00:05:03
Xochitl
I guess he.
00:05:06
Xochitl
Was funny cause my generation kind of calls themselves 90s kids cause we were born in the 90s, but my childhood was was born in the mid to late 90s and so my childhood was mostly in the 2000s to 2000s tens and I was thinking that myself.
00:05:25
Xochitl
We’re not really.
00:05:26
Xochitl
90s kids because 90s kids are people who.
00:05:30
Xochitl
Were kids in the 90s?
00:05:31
Xochitl
And we were like.
00:05:32
Xochitl
Babies in the 90s, we.
00:05:33
Xochitl
Weren’t like, really.
00:05:34
Xochitl
Chilling. So it’s like.
00:05:34
Jack
You know well, that’s.
00:05:36
Jack
True, I’m a 70s kid. Really. I mean, but I I was born in the 70s, but I don’t remember the 70s. But I do remember the 80s. Like, that’s when I was a kid. Like when I think of Halloween, this is all stuff that happened in the 80s when ET was like a new.
00:05:46
발표자
Right.
00:05:48
발표자
Right.
00:05:52
Jack
Movie, you know, like, like these are these classic films that you that are, like, 30-40 years old, that you’re, you know, that you probably watched because your dad made you watch it or something were in the theater. You know, when I was alive, when I was a kid. So yeah, it’s, you know, Indiana Jones is like a.
00:05:55
Xochitl
Right.
00:06:06
Xochitl
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:13
Jack
You know, that was like.
00:06:15
Jack
A new movie for me.
00:06:17
Xochitl
Right. And to me it’s like I.
00:06:18
Xochitl
Don’t even watch it cause it’s so.
00:06:20
Xochitl
Like stupid to me.
00:06:21
Xochitl
Because I I don’t.
00:06:22
Xochitl
Mean to offend you, just like it. The premise is so sexist and and everything that.
00:06:27
Xochitl
We know now basically you know so like.
00:06:30
Xochitl
Ridiculous and problematic to people my age, you know? So if if if things think cause.
00:06:32
Jack
Right.
00:06:36
Jack
Yeah, though it does have a lot of problems. The Indiana Jones, if you watch it now, today it it has a lot of problems. I we’re now we’re talking about movies. So this is definitely.
00:06:49
Xochitl
Another proof.
00:06:51
Jack
Evidence. Yeah. Yeah. Like the format of the podcast. Like how, what?
00:06:56
발표자
How did you?
00:06:56
Jack
Plan out the like 3 segments like yeah.
00:06:59
Xochitl
I kind of just go with the general topic and.
00:07:04
Xochitl
It just comes to me, I don’t really plan it. I mean, this is the most freaking jacked social thing ever is like, we don’t plan anything. It’s just weird. We we can get last minute pretty much every time, but it just kind of comes like a theme. Yeah. Like it’s October. And so I wanted, you know, for the first episode I kind of wanted to talk about.
00:07:15
Jack
You love the way you.
00:07:25
Xochitl
Some things I’ve been thinking.
00:07:26
Xochitl
About for a while that.
00:07:28
Xochitl
Cultural things about the US that I thought would appeal to a wide range of listeners and that I thought we would have interesting perspectives on because Jack and I grew up in different time periods again and we.
00:07:40
Xochitl
So and in different cultural households, you know, I grew up in a Mexican American household and Jack grew up in a house, all American or what we call all American Caucasian household. Yeah. And so I that was for our first episode. We talked a lot about the culture and how it’s evolving because there are changes that I’ve noticed even in my relatively short lifetime.
00:07:50
Jack
Right.
00:08:01
Xochitl
And I wanted Jack’s take on that. I thought that would be really interesting. And I think he delivered it. You know, you guys should listen because I think it’s really cool to see how our experiences have differed over a lot of times and what we think about how things are currently, the current cultural climate in.
00:08:17
Xochitl
The United States.
00:08:18
Jack
Right on. Yeah. So, uh, listeners out there, check out the the Jack and Chill podcast because this is, you know, social’s idea and but I’m 100% in I think it’s awesome. It’s such a it’s such a good.
00:08:34
Jack
Idea and yeah, I’m I’m excited to start the.
00:08:38
Jack
The new pod.
