Oh, I'm excited about today's expression. It's such a good expression. Enjoy it. Let's go back in time. Yeah, it is number 500, our 500th podcast. Can you believe it?

I'm so happy. So excited. This is a big number. Not many people make 500 podcasts. Not many people listen to 500 podcasts. But I can tell you I'm very stoked to be doing it.

And my intention is to go at least another 500. I'm stoked about the future. And that is today's expression. To be stoked. To be stoked about something.

S-T-O-K-E-D. To be stoked about something means you are very excited about something. You are very happy and excited. The energy, the adrenaline is pumping through your body. You are ready to go.

So let's check out our 500th dialogue. Are you stoked? Here we go. Wow. 500 E-cubed lessons. That's a lot, huh? Yes. You must be exhausted. Oh, no way.

I'm stoked. 500 more. That's reality. Yeah, 500 podcasts. I'm so excited. I'm so happy. And once again, my question, how many did you listen to? Like three, 30, 300, 500.

I'm curious. Just give me a guess. I'm seriously, I'm curious. I want to know. And I'll tell you something. I'm going to give you the statistics for our podcast.

If you hear me bumping around. So our podcast is, has been listened to as of October 6th, 9 p.m. 2015, 8,858,593 episodes. listens, downloads. Isn't that amazing?

Not that many people, not 8 million people. But yeah, we're doing very, very well. Every month we get over a half a million people or a half a million listens. Isn't that fantastic?

And I thank you so much. But I'm not hearing from you. I want to, especially today. Come on. It's like a birthday. By the way, my birthday is December 22nd.

But anyway, it's like E-Cube's birthday. It's 500 episodes. So leave me a message. I really want to hear from you. Just say hi. Thanks. How many did you listen to?

Just say hi. That would be so great. So yeah, I'm very excited. Now, I'll be honest. Because I have so many podcasts, it's not easy to keep producing.

It costs a lot of money and we don't have advertising. And people are asking me to advertise podcasts. on the podcast. So I'm going to ask you guys, you know, I always, I always promote my classes.

I hope you understand that I need to do that. Um, but it's not easy being, uh, having this business on my own. It's definitely not easy, especially considering my future. Oh my God.

Um, so what do you think? Is it okay if I allow advertisements? Um, I'm not joking. I want to hear your feedback. It's not easy running this. It's very expensive doing what I do.

And I want to grow and expand and provide more. But the offer is there because we're doing pretty well. The podcast is doing very well. The offer is there for advertising.

So do you mind? Yes or no? To advertising. I know of course everybody – nobody likes advertising. But you have to understand this is my life and I do need to make some money.

So I want your opinion. If everybody says no, I'm not going to do it. But if you guys don't mind, I might try it. So let me know. Am I stoked about advertising?

No, I would prefer to get supported from my listeners and my students. I want that business to grow. But once again, it's not easy paying the bills every month and I do need your support. So advertising is a method to get some extra support.

So yeah, I'm not stoked about it, but I need to pay the bills. So once again, today's expression is a great one to be stoked, to be excited. I am stoked.

I am stoked about the future of our podcast. I'm stoked about studying English. I'm stoked about this weekend. I'm stoked about football. Whatever it is, I want to know what you're stoked about.
