Mitch:

Intro

Mitch:
[0:28] he unthinkable thing happened which I think one time I said it will never happen.

Isi:
[0:33] I know in the years together how often you talked about this the unimaginable happened

Mitch:
[0:40] The unimaginable happened. My favourite band ever Oasis decided to make a reunion.

Isi:
[0:50] You are freaking happy and I'm freaking happy for you I'm also happy I mean it's not that I'm not also an Oasis fan in a way I wouldn't say I'm a fan fan like you are but I'm a fan of the music for sure I love their music a lot I wanted to see them years ago before they broke up, I had tickets.

Mitch:
[1:10] 11 dates and if you divide that by how many people are excited it's it's going to be difficult to get tickets.

Isi:
[1:19] Yeah people will come from other countries to the UK, 100%. I mean, we know one, Manuel from Easy German is also a huge fan. He will for sure try to, he will go to the UK because it's the only European date. So that's what they said, which I can't believe really. I see them already playing in France, Germany or wherever.

Mitch:
[1:36] Yeah, but they've not announced that. So at the moment on Saturday, they've only got 11 gigs available. I'm happy, but they are the kind of band where you kind of want to get insurance on your ticket.

Isi:
[1:50] Well you get your money back if they have a big fight over five pints and...

Mitch:
[1:55] I hope so how did it work for the people who

Isi:
[1:58] Just imagine they would get all those tickets tickets now to make uh make some more money and then they say it's off.
