    [footsteps] Hello. Sorry to bother you. Um, can I ask you a slightly odd question?

  2. Toby Sebastian· Soundbite0:08

    Yes, fine.

  3. Tom Rosenthal· Host0:10

    Um, I'm making a podcast, um, called Strangers on a Bench.

  4. Toby Sebastian· Soundbite0:14

    Oh, okay.

  5. Tom Rosenthal· Host0:14

    Where essentially I talk to people I don't know on benches for- Okay ... 10, 15 minutes. Um, are you up for that? Do you wanna give it a go? [upbeat music] Is there a day of the week that you favor?

  6. Speaker 3· Guest0:48

    Oh, I'd have to be, um... Yeah. I, I... No, uh, I was gonna say Friday or Saturday. Friday because it's like Christmas Eve. I've grown to love Christmas Eve because Christmas Eve is the day before Christmas.

  7. Tom Rosenthal· Host1:04

    Oh.

  8. Speaker 3· Guest1:04

    So Friday is like that because it's the day before Saturday. So I think Friday is a favorite day, but also Sunday's become a favorite day from being as a child my least favorite day by far because obvious reasons of- School and whatnot ... school next day. Hated school. Um- Why did you hate school? Well, I wasn't very good at it. I wasn't very good at learning. I wasn't very good at concentrating.
