Intro

Mitch:
[0:23] Hello. (Hello.) Hello. Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. (Okay.) Episode number three.

Isi:
[0:32] Nobody knows who... who can talk now. (What do we say next?) I'm freezing.

Mitch:
[0:36] Yeah, okay. Describe the situation.

Isi:
[0:40] Should have... we should have made ourselves a tea before. (Very English.) Um... uh, basically, I'm so English now, I... the past two months... I mean, I've always been drinking tea, but now I drink seven or eight teas a day.

Mitch:
[0:55] But not builder's tea. (Not builder's tea.) Which, builders tea is a black tea with a splash of milk. Like a breakfast tea with milk.

Isi:
[1:02] I hate milk in tea. No, I only drink like... things like, lemon/orange/ginger/fennel. Uh... what else?

Mitch:
[1:11] It's your like, homoeopathic remedies, (Peppermint.) isn't it right? (Yeah, basically.) Your witchcraft.

Isi:
[1:15] Even... really, until... into the night, I always drink, only tea, tea, tea. And now we don't have a tea and we're freezing because our heating is broken, again.

Mitch:
[1:24] If you go... if you go to Isi with any illness should just prescribe lemon and ginger tea. I've got bronchitis - lemon and ginger. I've got tuberculosis - lemon and ginger. I've got eczema - lemon and ginger tea.

Intro
Isi:
[0:23] Hello.

Mitch:
[0:25] Episode number two of the Easy English Podcast. (podcast.) Podcast. So northern.

Isi:
[0:32] Here we are again. Was exciting, wasn't it our first podcast? It's weird that we look into each other's eyes today. Last time we didn't.

Mitch:
[0:40] Nah, I can't remember how we did it, but it was very rude!

Isi:
[0:44] I will look out of the window now.

Mitch:
[0:46] There's less pressure on this one.

Isi:
[0:48] Well, there's always pressure, Mitch.

Mitch:
[0:51] No, but I uh... much less pressure to... because we've started it now.

Isi:
[0:56] True. So if you listened to number one, thank you very much. That is... yeah, it's exciting. We got a lot of messages. A lot of really, really lovely feedback, so thank you very much. Uh... we got some questions and... yeah a lot of you listened to it, so we were really, really grateful and happy for it. It's a good start, isn't it?

Mitch:
[1:17] Yeah, I was actually quite impressed, 'cause I didn't really expect people would write in. But I saw how many people have listened, and it's really overwhelming. And the fact that people have even written in, to say how much they enjoyed it and that it sort of, filled that 20 minute gap of their life.

Isi:
[1:36] Yeah, it's a bit. It's still a bit weird that people listen to our... talking.

Intro

Isi:
[0:23] Hello! Hello, hello. Welcome to episode number... what is it four? Three? Three. Four? (Four.) Four! (God.)

Mitch:
[0:36] Hiya! (Is it really number four?) We are on episode number four. And it's... well, when you're listening to this, it will be Monday. Unless you're a Podcast Member, then you'll be hearing it on Friday. But for us, it is, the Friday before the Friday that the Podcast Members listen to. (Yes.) It's Friday, Friday, Friday. We have reason to celebrate. (I guess.) We've been released from the sobriety demons.

Isi:
[1:04] Yeah, we had a... quite long detox. A bit over five weeks, I think. And all in all, it was seven. And it's good, isn't it? Seven weeks really does something. Why are you looking so weirdly at our dog? She just came in.

Mitch:
[1:17] Just like Darth Vader's come into the room, breathing so heavily. So the reason we're excited is because... she just threw up in her mouth. We've kind of, been looking forward to having like, a little cheers for the weekend and having our first little boozy drink in... yeah, nearly seven weeks. So now we're gonna do some ASMR of opening our drinks.

Isi:
[1:40] Yeah, unfortunately, I have a wine bottle with a screw-top. So it's not the nice plop. Should I do it first? (You do that one first.) Listen. Open. (Oh, head tingles everywhere.) Doesn't smell so good. Okay, should I should I pour it?

Mitch:
[1:57] Oh yeah. What are we doing? Right, and what is it you're drinking, Isi?

Isi:
[2:07] Um, a pinot grigio, ice cold.

Mitch:
[2:11] Lovely! Oh God. Nola's a big gross sound effects machine of burping, farting and throwing up noises. Okay, and now I'm gonna open German Krombacher pils. Ready? Here's the ASMR for me.
