First 90 secondsTom Rosenthal· Host0:00
[footsteps] Hello. Sorry to bother you. Um, can I ask you a slightly odd question?
Toby Sebastian· Soundbite0:08
Yes, fine.
Tom Rosenthal· Host0:10
Um, I'm making a podcast, um, called Strangers on a Bench.
Toby Sebastian· Soundbite0:14
Oh, okay.
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?
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.
Tom Rosenthal· Host1:04
Oh.
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.
