Isi: [0:59] How would you call that? It's actually coming from my point of view. Mitch: [1:03] Well, I'd call it the... the lack of backbone. But, it has a name. Well, it's actually a phrase, which all Brits kind of, inadvertently stick to, which is 'keep calm and carry on'. Someone, somewhere, listening to this, probably has a tote bag, they bought, that one time they came to London, which has 'keep calm and carry on', with a crown behind it or something. You see it everywhere (Yeah?) in these souvenir shops. Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership

It was actually really, really nice. Because, we decided to stay home. Um, which we actually really enjoy, anyway on New Year's Eves, because we're both not really into those New Year's Eves parties, where you have to have a ticket to go into a pub or club, oh God's that's horrible anyway. Um, home parties are good... are good, but yeah, we stayed home this year. And, we had... should I say... tell the whole story, yeah? Not much more to come anyway. We had good drinks, good cocktails. We had, um, like an Italian little buffet from our favourite Italian restaurant here, that was delivered to us. And we had good drinks and we talked to some friends. And yeah, it was a good night, wasn't it? Mitch: [2:00] I don't really remember much of it actually, but I'm not sure that's my bad memory or the cocktails.

We travelled yes... no, the day before yesterday. And, we are now in Germany, and I directly want to start with telling... (Revelations.) that I saw a multi-pack of crisps. But... (It wasn't a real multi-pack.) It was not. It was four little packs, stuck together as a four times four... why was it four times four? Mitch: [1:04] A "4er". It was so funny. They were just sellotaped together, back to back. Isi: [1:08] Yeah, so it wasn't a multi-pack in that sense, because, it did show what you get. The multi-packs that I mean, they trap you. Mitch: [1:16] The UK is having a big influence on the German crisp market. Isi: [1:22] Anyway. Mitch: [1:23] You can tell your story. (What story?) You have a bit of a story coming up, I think. Maybe you want to save it for a section. (Oh, yeah.) It's been an exciting couple of weeks. Isi: [1:35] People think always something is happening to me. Run over by car... nearly run over. Yeah. (This one was pretty...) but it has a reason, why we tell this story. Mitch: [1:45] Yeah. This one was like something out of a crime thriller. Isi: [1:48] What? For you, maybe. For what you saw.

Interactive Transcript Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership Transcript Intro Mitch: [0:00] On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me; Bluetooth earphones, IKEA vouchers, an ill-fitted T-shirt, tenner in a card, secondhand bike, multi-pack of condoms, stationary set, Sports Direct socks, bottle of Bailey's, six-pack of Carling, two spa days and a Blu-ray of Die Hard 2. Isi: [0:57] Welcome... to the Easy English Podcast. Nola is confused. (I worte that.) That is brilliant. (I'm the new John Lennon.) You are right after him. And my first question goes out to you; why am I always having a very uncomfy recording situation, and you sit there, like King Mitchy? Mitch: [1:20] Yeah, I feel a bit like... yeah, like a King. Or like, how the Godfather would sit. Isi: [1:22] I mean, it's obviously my decision to sit on this chair. At least I have a good drink in my hand, because we just prepared espresso martinis for the first time, this season, this Christmas season. But also for the first time for... uh, since last winter. Mitch: [1:42] It was a while ago. I forgot how to make them. Isi: [1:44] Did we even do it this year, yet? (Er... no.) Maybe not. Uh, and aren't they still the best? Mitch: [1:51] There's something... they're not very Christmassy, but... Isi: [1:54] It is Christmassy for me, though. (Why?) I think because I connected it to Christmas last year. Mitch: [2:00] Christmasy to me has to have cream in it. Cream and Christmas go together. Isi: [2:03] Yeah, but you know how much I (do) not adore cream in anything drinkable. So for me, the froth... or how you call that, on top is cream. That's cream for me, that's good cream. That's ice... icey cream and not milk, or... Mitch: [2:19] Yeah, it's the only frothy coffee that you can really have. Isi: [2:24] We can really do a whole episode (On frothy coffees?) about people putting cream or hot milk in their drinks. Mitch: [2:33] Even oat... flrothy oat... oak... oat milk. Isi: [2:36] That's a bit better than cow milk. I think hot cow milk smells like vomit. Mitch: [2:42] Oat milk, also, when you froth it, smells a bit like burnt porridge. Isi: [2:45] Yeah. (Excuse me.) Well anyway, this froth is good... froth!? Mitch: [2:50] Froth, (Froth.) Froth, frothy coffee. Isi: [2:53] Um... yeah, so here we are. We have some good topics today. Mitch: [3:00] We do. Should we do our first one? Isi: [3:022] Yep.

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?

And the fact that people have even written in, to say how much they enjoyed it and that it sort of, filled that 20 minute gap of their life. Isi: [1:36] Yeah, it's a bit.

I hate it when you go like, to a conference or in a classroom or so; can you please stand up and say two to three sentences about yourself and just your name, your age, where you're from and a few of your hobbies. What do you like to do in your free time? Mitch: [1:10] That's a great idea. What we should do instead, then, because I also don't like doing this, we should do what I had to do when I was at school for icebreakers, where you have to turn to the person to your right and you have to find out something, then you have to introduce each other. And you have to remember something about them. Isi: [1:24] That will be really fun with the two of us. Mitch: [1:24] You introduced me and I'll introduce you. (Okay.) Who am I?
