Cook a traditional Sunday roast dinner: Sunday Roast Dinner RECIPE (Easy English 140)
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.
