Summary

The words for today are: Grievous, Saturate, Abase, Chauvinist

VictorPrep's vocab podcast is for improving for English vocabulary skills while helping you prepare for your standardized tests!

This podcast isn't only intended for those studying for the GRE or SAT, but also for people who enjoy learning, and especially those who want to improve their English skills.

I run the podcast for fun and because I want to help people out there studying for tests or simply learning English.

The podcast covers a variety of words and sometimes additionally covers word roots. Using a podcast to prep for the verbal test lets you study while on the go, or even while working out!

0:57.0	These jokes cause they're so cheesy, but why did the zombie listen to VictorPrep?
1:02.0	He wanted to improve his dead education.
1:04.8	Well, that's funny because, well, it could be funny because the zombies are known for
1:11.8	being dead, right, so they're dead people that have risen up again.
1:17.6	And the zombie listens to VictorPrep because it's an educational podcast, so he wanted
1:23.6	to improve his dead education, and it sounds a bit like education.
1:28.9	So yes, it's a bit of wordplay around zombies being dead and VictorPrep being an educational
1:35.1	podcast.
1:36.1	Right, so that's our first joke.
