PG29 Transcript – Hangover
Tyler:
Hello folks and welcome back! Today’s podcast
is all about the day after the night before.
You guessed it! Today we are going to talk
about being hungover. It’s the perfect topic
for this week because after a massive party in
France on Friday night, on Saturday I felt
like I’d been hit by a ten tonne truck and my
mouth felt like the inside of a badgers arse.
It wasn’t pretty at all and to be honest I’m
still feeling rough as. That’ll teach us not
to get so hammered.
Lisa: Ja, das kannst du laut sagen. Tyler und ich waren mit ein paar Kumpels auf einem Elektrofestival in Strassburg. Wir haben die ganze Nacht abgetanzt und waren am Ende echt total am Arsch. Wir haben mal wieder so richtig gut gefeiert und uns die Kante gegeben! Mir brummt jetzt noch der Schädel wenn ich nur daran denke. So einen Kater wie Samstag hatte ich schon ewig nicht mehr.
Tyler: Thankfully we didn’t have anything planned on Saturday because the day was a complete write off. At least we could stay in and try to sleep it off. When we did eventually rise from the dead, Lisa started talking about all sorts of things that had happened at the party that I couldn’t even remember anymore. I must have blacked out.
Lisa: Ja, das stimmt, Gott sei Dank konnten wir unseren Rausch ausschlafen, ich glaube ich hätte an diesem Tag sowieso nichts Produktives mehr zustande gebracht. Aber einen Filmriss wie Tyler? Das hatte ich glücklicherweise nicht. Ich glaube ich kann mich noch an alles erinnern. Hoffe ich doch!
Tyler: I don’t get it. Why do you have to have such a thick head from drinking. It ruins all the fun. Although I guess it could have been worse. At least we didn’t have to throw up.
Lisa: Hmm, du kennst mich doch. Ehrlich gesagt kübel ich lieber ein bisschen und habe dann am nächsten Tag keinen Brummschädel. Aber ja, Spaß machen tut das auch nicht. Ist eher ekelig.
Tyler: Also typical for a hangover day is that by the evening I have a mean appetite and can literally eat for two.
Lisa: Da hast du Recht, man kann dann Berge von Essen vertilgen und hat einfach nur einen saumäßigen Hunger. Vor allem auf Salziges!
Tyler: I’m seriously planning to drink less at Cathy’s party next week. There is no ways I want to be nursing a thick skull again.
Lisa: Ah! Das sagst du jedes Mal! Aber es stimmt, so einen dicken Schädel halte auch ich nicht noch mal aus. Meine Birne braucht jetzt definitiv erst mal 'ne Pause.

Get Saucy This Halloween
I was really surprised to discover these great Oktoberfest dirndl packs selling at Amazon - and so cheap too. Apart from the raunchy dirndls I even noticed they have a Lederhosen costume in stock. And I thought Amazon was about books. Anyway, I figured for those of you couldn't make it to the Oktoberfest this year, perhaps these will make fun Halloween costumes! I'm especially keen on the pink and green number - I'll have to try and get Lisa into one of those :)
