Isi:
[0:24] That's episode number 10.
Mitch:
[0:28] 10 is the magic number.
should we directly jump into the topic of the... day? Topic of the day? What is our category named? Topic of the... (Week.) Week.
Topic of the Week
Isi:
[0:50] Okay, Topic of the Week. (I've forgotten what it is.) I know what it is. (I've forgotten.) When English people are too polite.
Mitch:

Mitch:

You see it everywhere (Yeah?) in these souvenir shops.
