In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Aubrey and Lindsay discuss how to connect with others by sharing observations about things that seem odd or out of the ordinary. They explore the phrase "it strikes me as odd" and how it can be used with various adjectives to express surprise or peculiarity. They also suggest alternative phrases like "I find it odd" and "I fear that" to add variety to conversations and avoid overusing "I think." The hosts provide examples of how to use these phrases in different social contexts, such as commenting on someone's behavior at a party or questioning societal norms, and they emphasize that these phrases can be useful for starting conversations, expressing personal values, and connecting with others on a deeper level.
