This ESL podcast is about a guy who is refusing to go to a concert because he is still upset with his friend for something he did in the past.

Dialog:

A: Great news! U2 is coming to town in a couple months. Tickets go on sale next week. I say we all pony up and get some good seats.

B: I’m not much of a concert guy so I really can’t see myself “ponying up”.

A: What do you mean, “you’re not a concert guy”. That’s a pretty lame excuse.

B: To each his own I guess. I can’t remember you ponying up when we all went to watch the NBA game last year.

A: You’re not still bitter about that are you? I wanted to go but I was sick.

B: You had a sore throat and a little sniffle.

A: Wow. You are still bitter. I can’t believe you are still holding a holding a grudge. Ok. How about this? I’ll pay for the concert tickets this time if you promise never to mention the NBA thing again.

B: Deal.
