Summary

In this episode I talk to Alex Love in Edinburgh about his show, some details about the culture of pub quizzes in the UK and we go off on several quite instructive tangents about stag and hen parties, male strippers, The Smurfs and the anatomy of giant squid, which are large sea creatures with tentacles. That sounds quite random but it's not really. It's actually perfectly logical and it will all become clear as you listen to the conversation, and I think there's quite a lot to learn about British culture in this episode as you'll see. I've also highlighted a lot of vocabulary for you to watch out for.

0:45.2	Hello everybody welcome back to Luke's English podcast. How are you doing? I hope you're all fine and well and healthy and enjoying whatever it is you're doing if you're sitting on a bus
0:51.2	I hope it's not too awful if you're on a train equally I think it I hope it's not too awful I hope the train is moving towards your
0:53.0	destination without any delay. So wherever you are whatever you're doing,
0:56.9	welcome back. This episode features another chat with Alex Love who was on the
1:02.2	podcast recently in episodes 366 and 367.
1:09.2	And I decided I'd get Alex back on the podcast today for several reasons. The first reason is because he
1:15.2	is now in Edinburgh at the festival and his show seems to be doing very well. In fact, so far, every
1:21.8	performance has been completely sold out in advance and he's making a nice profit.
1:27.0	I'm very happy to hear that and I thought that we could get a little Edinburgh report from Alex and actually have a normal
1:35.4	conversation without it being derailed by poor internet connections and other
1:41.3	distractions and in fact that's what we've managed to do as you will hear.
1:45.8	The second reason I brought Alex back is to do our own Luke's English
1:50.5	podcast pub quiz in which we ask each other questions and test our knowledge,
1:55.8	and that's what you will hear in part two of this conversation.
1:59.6	I have divided this conversation into two parts again to make it more manageable for you.
