About this episode

Understand a funny anecdote by comedian Bill Burr. In this episode we’re going to do some intensive listening practice using the true story of a bizarre encounter with a man on a plane.

Look out for language for travelling by plane, some American English and A LOT of swearing, particularly the F word.
