Episode notes

In the uk if someone doesn't buy a round of drinks in the pub they are ostracized. To keep someone on their toes means to do certain things to make sure that person isn't getting too relaxed or isn't getting complacent. If you overhear martin saying some shit about your nan it means she's probably criticizing her back which is basically criticizing yourself. You can genuinely get killed for being tight fisted and stingy like Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol who pays his workers almost nothing because he's so tight.

Hello! In this episode of the podcast I am talking to Martin Johnston and his mate Dan The Man from the Rock n Roll English Podcast and we're going to teach you some phrasal verbs and other expressions relating to friendship, while also putting their friendship to the test. Martin and Dan are lifelong friends. They know each other very well but they spend a lot of their time bickering and getting at each other. What's going on in this friendship? Do they really like each other or not? Let's find out in this episode and you can learn lots of vocabulary while we're doing it.
