[0:00] It's a party! Mitch, you now have to give me that scream that never came.

Mitch:
[0:05] Yeah! Oasis are back! Sorry, Nola.
Intro

Mitch:
[0:28] he unthinkable thing happened which I think one time I said it will never happen.

Isi:
[0:33] I know in the years together how often you talked about this the unimaginable happened

Mitch:
[0:40] The unimaginable happened. My favourite band ever Oasis decided to make a reunion.

Isi:
[0:50] You are freaking happy and I'm freaking happy for you I'm also happy I mean it's not that I'm not also an Oasis fan in a way I wouldn't say I'm a fan fan like you are but I'm a fan of the music for sure I love their music a lot I wanted to see them years ago before they broke up, I had tickets.

Mitch:
[1:10] 11 dates and if you divide that by how many people are excited it's it's going to be difficult to get tickets.

Isi:
[1:19] Yeah people will come from other countries to the UK, 100%. I mean, we know one, Manuel from Easy German is also a huge fan. He will for sure try to, he will go to the UK because it's the only European date. So that's what they said, which I can't believe really. I see them already playing in France, Germany or wherever.

Mitch:
[1:36] Yeah, but they've not announced that. So at the moment on Saturday, they've only got 11 gigs available. I'm happy, but they are the kind of band where you kind of want to get insurance on your ticket.

Isi:
[1:50] Well you get your money back if they have a big fight over five pints and...

Mitch:
[1:55] I hope so how did it work for the people who

Isi:

[0:30] What do you have for us today, Mitch?

Mitch:
[0:32] Okay, so in the past, you've read out some articles or found articles to question me about my UK culture and my dialect. So now I thought I would point the finger back at you. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Britain, I thought that I would find an article about typical stereotypes, that foreigners have about British people and British culture, and ask you for your opinion now, are these stereotypes fact or fiction?

TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Isi:
[1:18] Fact or fiction?

Mitch:
[1:19] Firstly, I read you out the stereotype and you stamp it with a metaphorical fiction or fact.

Isi:
[1:28] Do I have to do? Or do you do that later editing?

Mitch:
[1:33] Oh, yeah. Oh.

Isi:

Mitch:
[1:41] Stereotype number one. Brits love talking about the weather.

Isi: [1:49] Fact.

Isi:
[0:41] Hello.

Mitch:
[0:41] I planned for us to do an episode about Georgia's question from the last episode, asking; how much the royal family affects our day-to-day life, in the UK.

Isi:
[0:52] Didn't we talk about the royals before? We did a video episode about the queen's jubilee with Cari from Easy German who's a big 'Crown' 'The Crown' fan and Netflix series.

Mitch:
[1:04] Yeah I mean that is already one way in which the royal family affects, their part of (The world.) Yeah, they're like... they're back they're back again into common culture. There was a period I think between Diana and now, where they're kind of had a bit of a dip. But now they're kind of like, influencers. They live a life of influencers, in a way, don't they?

Isi:
[1:26] I guess they're representatives of the monarchy. But in a way, I think they see themselves also as representatives of Britain, of the Commonwealth.

Transcript

Intro

Mitch:
[0:23] Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Today, we are doing, we're sort of catching up with some requests of things that you've sent us in. We wanted to cover a topic, which one of our members of Easy English; Marketa, one of our longest standing, dearest members, requested us to do a topic, comparing our childhoods from the perspective of growing up in the UK to growing up in Germany.

Isi:
[0:51] That's a good topic.

Mitch:
[0:51] Which is interesting. And they mentioned school and birthday parties, specifically.

Isi:
[0:58] Perfect. I mean, obviously, the kindergarten school system is different. I think that should not be part of it, though. That could be an own topic. What is the difference? I would say in general, the upbringing in both our countries are similar. There's definitely countries where we would find bigger differences.

Mitch:
[1:18] It's hard to compare a little bit, because you grew up in a a 300,000 city and I grew up in a 30,000 town.

Intro

Mitch & Isi:
[0:27] So, welcome to the Easy English Podcast from the streets, just entering Belgium. From the A67 in Belgium. Today is a special episode. - It's a special episode. - Is this even legal, what we're doing? - Why? - Are you allowed to podcast while driving? -

We're not watching anything or listening to anything, we're just talking. - I know, but multitasking is hard. - We normally talk in the car. As we were talking about public transport, this is not public transport, I mean for Nola it is, kind of, but it is transport.

And we thought, as we, so many times go back and forth between Germany, and England and France also, sometimes, around Europe, that we will do an episode from the car.

Thank you, yeah. And then I just make a chewing gum and I'm already around the corner. (Oh really?) I did it yesterday, in the hallway, with one of the builders.
