Chatterbox #158 – An interview with Ben: Part 1

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work as a bartender? In this, another special two-part Chatterbox episode (this is part 1), Andrew interviews his friend and bandmate Ben, who works as a bartender in Montreal. Join them as they talk about their friendship and some of the highs and lows of working in the bar and nightclub industry.   Andrew: I was trying to think how long we’ve been friends, and it’s only been a few years, but it feels like I’ve known you for a really long time. Ben:  Right. Andrew: And I think that’s because, like you said, we have a lot of mutual friends. We travel in the same circles, but we weren’t in the same place for quite a while. But once we connected, it just felt very natural. Ben:  Yeah. Being in a band is like spending an unnaturally long amount of time. It’s only with your immediate family that you actually have such the same experiences. Expressions from this episode included in the Learning Materials: To travel in same circles An institution To drink your face off To go without saying Shaken, not stirred To not do anything for me To not bode well A vibe Audio/Learning Materials: Culips English Learning Podcast
