Intro
Mitch:
0:34 (Hello!) Hiya, welcome to the new episode of the Easy English Podcast. That is so formal.
Isi:
[0:39] I don't like to look at you while we record it. I have to laugh.
Mitch:
[0:44] We're so far away again.
Isi:
[0:46] Hello, down there, in the hallway.
Mitch:
[0:49] Yeah, it feels like we're in a hallway.
Isi:
[0:51] I will just directly say it. Mitch, We had The Big Veg Show (The Veg Cast. ) The Veg Cast. I hope people enjoyed it because I said it already, what comes this week. And it's The Big, Big Fruit Show.
Mitch:
[1:05] The Fruit Show, The Veg Cast and The Fruit Show.
Isi:
[1:07] Yeah, we couldn't do it both last time, so we need to talk about fruits.
Mitch:
[1:11] It wouldn't have been fair, though, to have thrown fruits on the ends of veg, because fruits don't... shouldn't be disrespected like that.
Isi:
[1:17] But fruits have a better life. Most of them are very sugary, so people usually like them more than veg. I would say.
Mitch:
[1:25] But we're savoury people. No, that sounds like... (We are savoury people.) That's actually a compliment. Because you can be a very unsavoury.
Isi:
[1:33] Will you make us a drink? Because I wanna ask our listeners for something, in between.
Mitch:
[1:37] Okay, feels like you're booting me out of the room, to say something private.
Isi:
[1:41] No, I just want a drink.
Mitch:
[1:42] If you'd like to listen to this podcast, without Mitch, give us a thumbs up.
Isi:
[1:46] What I wanted to ask, today is a little bit of a favour. You might know that, in podcast apps, where you listen to us. Um, there are several of podcast apps. It does help, if you give us a review of our podcast, on some apps you can leave a comment about our podcast. And this interaction, if you give like, a response to our podcast, will help others to find our podcast. So, if you could just today, if you like our podcast, take a second out of your day and see in your app where you can leave us
a review, a comment, a rating That will be fantastic. It's weird to ask for things, but I think it would be really, really, really nice if you could help us with this.

Topic of the Week
Isi:
[3:09] I have a few questions first, and then I would guide you through the world of fruits. Um, what is... (Come with me.) What is your favourite fruit?
Mitch:
[3:14] Off the top of my head, I'm thinking strawberries, but it probably isn't. But strawberries are just like, a solid fruit.
Isi:
[3:21] So I wanted to say peach, I really like a really good peach, but peach can be really shit as well.
Mitch:
[3:32] I know what yours is and it's my like, curveball, because when you... when you think of fruits, you think of sweetness. But I think, actually, if we were to really go into it, what fruit we eat the most, especially you, It would be a sour fruit.
Isi:
[3:48] Lemon. Yeah, lemon is probably my favourite fruit because I eat it most.
Mitch:

Isi:

Mitch:
[3:59] Yeah. Anything with a lemon on it. (Lemon c
