absent minded
Last year when my listening skills in english improved I started listening to an english podcast which was spoken in normal speed. Two men and a woman took part in the podcast and they spoke and played a role-play like that : One of them started telling a story and the others had to guess weather the story had really happened or had only been fictional. They called it the "Lying Game".
I remember that I was listening to the podcast when I was driving by car to work. My workplace was about 35 km away from my hometown and I headed towards the highway. Meanwhile I got very deeply into the conversation of the three guys and their equally fascinating and exciting stories. I was driving and listening and felt happy having improved my english so far and was able to listen to such driven and awesome podcasters that I forgot everything around me. I drove and drove and after half an hour when the podcast finally ended I found myself way north on the wrong highway. I had missed the exit west and had driven more than 60 km without noticing anything but the podcast. That was my first experience with the great and awesome Luke´s english podcast.

Note: weather = das Wetter
whether...or = ob...oder
weather and whether have the same pronunciation.
played a role-play like that this: this : because you are soon going to describe the role-play.
Keep listening but don't miss your exits.
