Intro
Mitch:
[0:23] Hello everybody, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Today we're flying solo, again. Isi is ill. Yeah, she doesn't feel so good, but the worst thing is her voice. It sounds like she's suddenly decided to start smoking 50 cigarettes a day. So I'm gonna fly solo. Yeah, we've both actually been in the wars, a little bit. Which isn't literal, don't worry. But it just means you've been sort of, fighting disease, I guess that's what it means, you versus germs. I haven't had a disease or anything, I actually had my tooth pulled out. When was that? Almost a week ago, I actually was supposed to have my tooth pulled on Monday, last Monday, we were driving to the dentist, and then, the car broke down, in the middle of the road, on the... in the third lane. Like, not just in the middle of the road, but in the middle of the lane, in the middle of the road. We were just sort of, stranded in the middle, calling our insurance to come pick us up, because we didn't really know what to do. As we were calling our insurance, the police turned up, at the side of the road and were like; "hey, you can't be here".
Mitch:
[1:49] And I said; "yeah, no sh*t. Help us!" And so they pushed us to the side of the road and I missed my appointment. I luckily, had an appointment on Tuesday and my tooth was pulled. Oh, is there anything worse than five people staring into your mouth. Someone reaching into your mouth and you have no idea what they're doing, you can only sort of, hear horrific noises. My appointment was late in the day, so... and they were kind of, I think, getting in the mood for going... going out. I don't know, maybe not, do dentists always play music? I don't know. Anyway, if you thought it couldn't be more horrific than having people reaching inside your mouth with tools you would use on your car, which is kind of ironic, just to make matters even worse, whilst he was pulling my tooth out, he was listening to Robbie Williams and whistling to it, at the same time.
Mitch:
[2:58] It was the song Angels. "And through it all, she offers me protection..." and at the same time, he was... I don't know, there was all kinds of noises happening inside my mouth and I had my eyes closed, because I just didn't want to see what instruments were going in, but I could just hear. And sometimes that's worse, because you're thinking what what kind of tool makes that noise!? And every so often you'd hear this like, crack... I'd hear this cracking noise, whilst whistling to angels, he'd say; "don't be concerned". "Don't be concerned".
Mitch:
[3:41] "Don't be concerned". But you know, we keep calm, we carry on, that's the motto of this story. I'm very British. Let's talk about things that have happened over the past month as a Topic of the Week.
