ESL Podcast 1181 – Making a Comeback 


Eileen: What are you doing with all that band equipment? 


Dex: The guys in the band are planning a reunion. It’s time for our comeback. It will be the stuff 1 of legends 2


Eileen: Aren’t you afraid of being called has- beens after all these years? 


Dex: Bite your tongue. There is a groundswell of support for this reunion and we’re not going to disappoint the fans. 


Eileen: Groundswell? Are you referring to that local news article about one-hit wonders asking, “Where are they now?” 


Dex: There was a lot of good response to my quote 3 about our possible reunion. After a 20-year hiatus, I think fans are ready for more music from us. It should lead to a tour. 


Eileen: Resurrecting your music career might be harder than you guys think. 


Dex: Stop being such a killjoy. This reunion could lead to an entire new generation of fans. 


Eileen: Or you could become the laughingstock of the music world. 


Dex: Okay, that’s enough. You’re officially out of the band. 


Eileen: I didn’t know I was in the band. 


Dex: I had considered making you a backup singer, but I can’t deal with your negativity. 


Eileen: Oh, poor me. I’ll never find stardom. 


Dex: You’ve had your chance!
