17: The Collapse of British Society

Isi & Mitch
About this episode

This week, a pub in Hove tries to dismantle British conduct by questioning the queue, whilst Isi feels the heat of queueing culture when asking for a doggy bowl and Mitch defines his own term doing a 'Londoner'. The duo talk about their first online conversation class in their online pub for Easy English members, and we answer YOUR questions in our Unhelpful Advice section.

Isi:
[0:24] do do do do da da da da da... Let's go. (It feels weird not to do it with a drink.) Yeah no drink today. (One o'clock podcast.) And i have bad mood. (Why'd you have bad mood?) Our construction works are... beep beep beep beep beep beep! (You know i can also beep it, you can say how you feel.) Ah, today was rough.

Mitch:
[0:57] Anyway, welcome to the Easy English Podcast.

Isi:
[0:59] Well, yeah, sorry for the bad mood, but it's probably quite... it's also okay that we share our real... you know, we cannot always pretend everything is perfect. Well anyway, let's say, besides that, I have actually very good mood this week. It's perfect weather for the past... has been for the past three weeks, I think. We've really enjoyed the outside. We were out a lot with friends and filming. Well yeah, wait, I'm coming to that. And we will this weekend enjoy outside. So we'll get out of the shithole.

Mitch:
[1:36] Yeah, we're recording this on Friday night, oh no that's 'Saturday Night'. (Friday, midday.) No, Rebecca Black did. Friday, Friday, it comes after Thursday. Getting ready to have a drink on the weekend.

Isi:
[1:50] That's not the song.

Mitch:
[1:51] It's something terrible like that.
