Intro
Mitch:
[0:23] Hello, everybody.
Isi:
[0:24] Hello.
Mitch:
[0:25] Welcome to another episode of the Easy English Podcast. Isi, we have an exciting episode today, right?
Isi:
[0:33] Yes.
Mitch:
[0:35] Why is that?
Isi:
[0:36] We have a guest from our Easy Languages family. And, it will be exciting and interesting. Maybe we let our guests introduce themselves.
Mitch:
[0:49] Yes, greetings to our mystery guest. Who are you
Justin:
[0:54] Hello hello, my name is Justin, and I am a part of the Easy Languages family. I've been with Easy Languages for over four years now, which is beautiful, amazing. - Wow. - Yes. - And I'm really... yeah, I'm really excited to be on this Easy English podcast, because my native language is English. I grew up in the United States, in Houston, Texas, to be specific. But I also lived in Manchester, UK for a bit of time, around nine months, I want to say. And yeah, there are definitely a lot of differences. Some of them I kind of yearn to go back for, if I'm being honest.
Mitch:
[1:40] Wow, amazing. That's a good introduction. And you're a really amazing guest to have on to do these comparisons and contrasts, I guess. Can I ask a question before we start, Justin?
Justin:
[1:53] Yeah, go ahead.
Mitch:
[1:53] Can you name us some famous people from where you're from? Where in Texas were you from again?
Justin:
[1:59] I'm from Houston, Texas. And the most famous person that I will always represent is Beyoncé.
Mitch:
[2:03] Oh, really!?
Justin:
[2:04] Beyoncé is from Houston, Texas. Yes. So is all of the Destiny's Child. Some younger artists that I know. Post Malone is from Texas.
Mitch:
[2:14] Really? Wow!
Justin:
[2:15] Yes. But... Khaled, if you know that artist.
Isi:
[2:20] Yeah.
Mitch:
[2:21] DJ Khaled?
Justin:
[2:22] Not that one. The one that made that like breezy song. I forgot what it's called.
Mitch:
[2:29] Is Dolly Parton from Texas?
Justin:
[2:31] I was thinking about that, but I think she's from Tennessee.
Mitch:
[2:35] Because with Texas, it comes with a stereotype of people that look a bit like Dolly Parton in my mind. That's what I always think of.
Justin:
[2:42] I mean, they do exist. - Cowboy hats, cowboy boots. - The "bless your heart", type of people. Bless your heart, darling. Those people exist for sure.
Mitch:
[2:51] Pumpkin pie, people.
Justin:
[2:54] Matthew McConaughey. He's from Texas.
Mitch:
[2:57] Wow. All right, all right, all right.
Justin:
[3:00] Yes. He actually was a professor at the United... at the University of Texas in Austin.
Mitch:
[3:07] Wow. From Matthew McConaughey to Liam Gallagher, you went from. But this is great. This is already good. I'm already sort of getting a sense for the cultural comparisons that we're going to get. So, I believe you've prepared a list of certain contrasts and similarities for our 'Topic of the Week', right?
Justin:
[3:31] Yes.
Mitch:
[3:32] Okay, let's get started with that.
