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: [1:58] Just imagine they would get all those tickets tickets now to make uh make some more money and then they say it's off.

Unknown: [0:35] INTRO Isi: [0:54] Mitch what's our do we only do a mega topic of the week because i love it and we have no time for anything else yeah. Mitch: [1:01] I don't know how we. Isi: [1:02] I know why why we watched something where a cockroach appeared and we discussed why the cockroaches actually have such a bad reputation because they don't do anything really they don't bite you they don't sting you they don't do anything bad to you just living in they just prefer dirty places I think that's why people just eat bin-juice don't they? I don't even know what they eat, but (Bin-juice.) What do you think? Mitch: [1:30] Yeah, we came up with an idea to do an episode about good and bad animal PR. Okay, should we get started? Isi: [1:42] Yeah. Mitch: [1:43] Wait, first of all, we haven't said it, but welcome to the Easy English Podcast. (10 minutes later.) I um have written down some of my own feelings towards animals in the animal kingdom that have bad and good PR. Now just in case you don't know PR do you know what PR stands for? (Public relations.) So in the theory we're sort of making out like each of these animals has a media team which they kind of do for me it's mainly Disney movies that's gonna be the reason why I've given them good or bad PR. So I'm just gonna read out some to you do you want to start with bad PR or good PR? Bad PR would be animals which we perceive to be bad from media, whatever but actually really good Isi: [2:31] All animals are good there's no animal that has bad PR that is not good. Mitch: [2:35] I have I have a good one that I would like for you to tell me that has bad PR and is a bad animal. Isi: [2:41] There is no bad animals. Mitch: [2:42] Are you sure?
