Intro

Isi:
[0:23] Hello!

Mitch:
[0:24] Hiya!

Isi:
[0:24] How are you this morning? Let's start with that.

Mitch:
[0:27] Me or the listeners?

Isi:
[0:29] Well, I don't think they will answer now.

Mitch:
[0:32] I thought you were being like an agony aunt. Do you have agony aunts in Germany? Where you can write in your problems and then someone reads them out. Hello, how are you all? Today we have a letter from Marjorie. She says that the pigeons are banging on her window.

Isi:
[0:46] I would love a podcast like that. I could actually do that. I would happily write with people. (It could be a topic.) Yeah, I mean, Unhelpful Advice is basically that.

Mitch:
[0:57] It is actually, yeah. That's a good reminder. We have a topic called Unhelpful Advice and we haven't advertised it a lot recently. If you have a question for us about learning English, or just a random question you'd like us to answer, I'm still wanting to name someone's pet.

Isi:
[1:12] People love to do that on their own, you know.

Mitch:
[1:14] Yeah, but I'm good at it.

Isi:
[1:16] Okay.

Mitch:
[1:18] You'd like to help people with moral problems, maybe. but we'd also (Relationship advice.) relationship advice. we can tell you (Friendship advice.) friendship advice. We could tell you what house... what house? What colour to paint your bedroom. (Interior stuff.) interior design we like a bit of that.

Isi:
[1:35] If you have like, two/three big invitations for the weekend, we tell you where to go.

Mitch:
[1:39] Oh that's that's a good one.

Isi:
[1:41] We tell you what... what you can cook tonight.

Mitch:
[1:42] We can tell you... (your new favourite meal.) Yeah and that's a good segue, because today, our topic is speaking about pub grub.
