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.
