This ESL podcast is about strict parents and how a couple of young guys might deal with them.

Dialog:

A: Are you going to Sara’s party this weekend?

B: I can’t. I’m grounded.

A: What did you do this time?

B: My mom lost it on me when she found out I had a porno magazine in my room. She told me I’m not allowed to watch TV or meet any friends for a week.

A: Your mom is pretty strict. Do you think there is any way you can get her to make an exception for the party?

B: No way. My mom is a total psycho about these things. She’s so stubborn when she makes her mind up about something.

A: Well, you can’t miss the party. It’s going to be amazing. You should sneak out of your bedroom window when she’s asleep and go to the party for at least a couple hours.
