welcome back to real English with real teachers we are Harry and Charlie in
case you're confused and on our channel we always like to introduce you to our
favourite British television and radio shows that we think will be interesting
for you and through those we like to give you great listening practice to two
native speakers talking at their natural speed but also introduce you to lots of
useful vocabulary of course yes so this one that we're talking about is called
Desert Island Discs and it's a program on the radio on Radio 4 at the moment
that's been going for years and years it's got thousands of episodes yeah it
does go on for a while so we're gonna shorten it a little bit but the basics
are that someone is going away to a desert island forever and they need to
choose some songs in the actual thing it's eight songs and then you get a
luxury item and a book of your choice so we're going to interview Harry for this
one and see what options he has to whisk him away to the desert island lovely
yeah you ready let's do it yeah and these songs should like define my life
should they they should yeah okay yeah shall I go get ready go get ready yeah
get your appropriate outfit for your desert island is it a hot one very
very nice what do you think
yeah did you go to one more button it's pretty hot keep the button up well
alright so you're off to the desert
island soon yeah let's start with your preferred music okay what what would
your first song be that you would take to this desert island okay so my first song it
was my first ever album that I bought oh right yeah I went to WH Smiths with my
dad good shop yeah is it still running yeah it's still
running yeah yeah it's still going from strength to strength it's gone from strength to
strength yeah my first ever album was the Smurfs go pop and the Smurfs go
pop was an album done by The Smurfs of cover songs of very famous English
and American pop music and this is my first ever album and I really liked the
Smurfs oh right Papa Smurf and Smurfette and
all those guys the blue guys they're kind of make-believe
yeah I thought they were I didn't know they did songs yes mainly cover songs
right they didn't have much original content but they were you know they weren't
actually real so hard for them to create actual music yeah did they go on tour at all
well I took them away with me wherever I
went so you could say they they traveled the globe yeah they travelled boy I took them to
Greece actually we're currently in Greece and as a kid I used to go to
Greece a lot right and I took this album with me on a holiday okay and and this
album was just so PG it was just unbelievable okay
my first my favorite song it was called Mr. Smurftastic
playing on the Mr. Boombastic exactly by Shaggy yeah and it was it was rapped by Papa Smurf
of course yeah they called him Mr. Smurfastic
so that was when you were how old I was six when that came out you were six yeah
okay and what were you like in Greece as a
six year old were you tearing up the town well I was six so not really
I was I was quite I was probably naughty but this song for me kind of marks the
end of my innocence as a child your innocence stopped at six
yeah because after that my next album was an Eminem album and I started
listening to hip hardcore hip hop a lot of swearing you know the Smurfs didn't
contain one swear word okay so it was all really like PG and I was like yeah the Smurfs go pop
right and then I turned a bit bit darker bit ruder and I learnt all the fun stuff Mr. Slim Shady
so you've got a brother and anyone else yeah I got my brother he's
older than me he's called Luke and he's getting married in a week Wow f***in hell yeah he's
getting married in a week and and he's a bit older than me and then I've got my
sister as well and she's not getting married in a week that would be quite
confusing yes and stressful for your parents yeah that would be terrible of her wouldn't it
you would have to choose who do I prefer yeah yeah
it'd be really really not very nice of her to book her wedding on the same day as her brother
yeah that would be the definition of stealing one's Thunder definitely yeah
your brother's the oldest and your sister is the middle child middle child
and then the your the little wee baby I'm the wee babby yeah yeah yeah yeah
did you feel like you were the little child all the way throughout or were you
trying to beat your brother to things and and show who's boss in some
respects I yeah I did feel like the youngest and I probably got away with
the most I was I think I was the naughtiest out of the three right and yeah
I really I remember I really looked up to my brother like literally and
metaphorically but I yeah I was really like wanting to follow his footsteps
yeah I went to the same university as him I did the same sports that he did
oh of course of
course yeah because he came to visit us yeah at Nottingham Trent yeah he did and he had long hair
like a girl he did he did but weirdly I saw the resemblance very very clearly
really yeah what's your next song I think it's time to go on to another one
move away from the Smurfette's hopefully hopefully there's not a second album
that you're gonna mention no no okay so the next one came in it was 2002 right so I
was 12 years old yeah so six years after the Smurfs go pop
was released okay and and this was around the time were I was like discovering
that girls existed ding dong yeah and that ties in really well with what the song
is I remember listening to this sitting by the radiator in my old house
cos that was my favourite place to watch the TV I used to just sit against the radiator
sometimes on it on it sometimes yeah on the radiator apparently that's really bad
for piles that's what they say who's they my mum used to say it to me she said if you sit on there you get piles
wow she's spot on well yeah cos you ended up having to go to the pharmacy a
year ago not now hemorrhoids can happen yeah yeah it's a real thing guys stay
off the radiator yeah okay so you were on the radiator
yeah assisting your piles along yeah and what were you listening to I love you
and I need you baby I love you I do dilemma by Nelly which is on the Nellyville album
and I remember I fancied two girls at the
the same time at school one was good Charlotte Lant and the other one was
called Danielle Rousseau not naming names no we'll cut them out but yeah and I really fancied them
right what did they have to offer other than other girls in your class why were
they so special why were they they were very pretty
Danielle Busan was more of the sporty one is that all you look for
no no no Daniela Rousseau wasn't as
naturally pretty as Charlotte but she was very sporty and boisterous and fun
and I really liked that she was great fun like you treat her like one of the lads
one of the lads love that at that young age yeah of 10, 11
no 12 you said 12 yeah okay so okay she was a bit of a lad at 12 but she
was still you know pretty put together yes sophisticated women she was a
sophisticated teenager yeah she was yes yeah yeah so I felt like I had a dilemma
like Nelly in the song but Nelly's dilemma was different because he had a
girlfriend and another girl moved up onto his block into his neighborhood and
he was like oh no what am I gonna do but my dilemma was very different because I
didn't have any ladies in my life except for my mum and my sister so I was just like ah
what do I do do I tell Charlotte that I like her and get rejected or do I tell
Danielle I like her and get rejected it's so hard you could have helped them
empathize perhaps by sending them the song perhaps and just said look guys or
girls this is my situation hopefully you'll get my reference from this song
yeah and you'll be able to help me out a bit you know send me your pros and cons
via email that would have been good yeah was it email back in those days probably
not probably MSN MSN I don't know if I was on MSN by
then at 12 I was yeah are you yeah yeah you probably had a PC before I did
you still don't have one though I don't no takes him ages to edit a video it does yeah you
try using a Nokia for that so you were listening to Nelly at the age of 12 did you ever put the plaster on
to sort of pretend no I didn't but he looked really cool didn't he very cool he was wicked yeah he apparently
did that because his brother was in prison it was like to remember that his brother's in prison
don't know why a plaster does that yeah well band-aid...
if I fell seriously ill would you wear a plaster on your cheek and
just wear it for videos until I return we could do that yeah that can be arranged
if that's your wish being in the sickbed or your dying wish I think I'd like you to
grow a full beard for I think other people would as well mm-hmm another
person in this room would like that very much yeah you definitely want that
so you had your dilemma with those two pretty girls
they were so pretty oh I'm sure they were and they not now have you followed up no I don't know
actually they probably are pretty yeah I don't know them now yeah I think one of
them's married and the other one has a baby is it yours no we did kiss though well
I've heard that that is another way to fall pregnant but about I want to ask
you a question when um when I was in that stage of you know dating girls in
middle school yeah I remember that we used to all huddle together and there would
be these arranged moments when you would kiss your partner just a peck on the
lips for example yeah I had one snog in middle school that was my best moment that was
in a of like a language classroom after school we arranged it a big with
tongues and everything and they're like yeah come on Harry Harry and I was kissing her
how long did this snog go on for
20 seconds you counted it was like okay they're
gonna snog for 20 seconds oh wow yeah it was mad and no one looked away
because you know when everyone's like excited for the moment and then you
realize oh that's disgusting did they not turn their backs I don't
know I was so engrossed in the kiss I wasn't looking around I was just like
and your eyes were shut how longs left probably yeah yeah that was with Angelina that was year six
Angelina that was amazing that was really nice yeah did you have
that kind of thing when everyone would push you together and you'd have to kiss
we did yeah I actually have a horrible memory of that because I was going out
with this girl who at the time was very attractive and now is still very very
attractive and all of our friends think she's hot okay and we gathered round she
was ready to kiss me no no I was ready to kiss her and then she kind of backed
out and she said I'm really sorry you're too small ahh no!
I was quite small in year 7 yeah so she was like that height and I was like that
height ah so it was kind of like a kiss upwards ahh that's so harsh yeah
had you how long had you been going out before that we actually went out for
a long time for like nine months and we were on the phone every evening for
about an hour just waffling but you can't tell how tall someone is over the
phone yeah we were at school together so we knew we knew each other and we spent
lunch times together and everything but this kiss came after nine months nine
months of courting and then that happened so I think we split up from
that after that I got my not revenge but I got what I wanted let's say cos
the girl in my classroom heard that I was single and she said d'you wanna kiss me d'you wanna kiss me
so I went out with her and had my first snog in a disabled toilet at a party toilet was it a toilet for very
short people well she was even taller than the last girl and I actually we had the light off
and I was doing it with another friend with his girlfriend they were on the
toilet and we were in the other bit of the room you know urgh it's like an orgy it
was a bit of an orgy yeah but we had our clothes on sure and I actually put you know you went on
your tiptoes I went on my tiptoes oh wow but is in the dark so no one saw that's
great yeah anyway back to you this is the interview for you yep so that was the second song Nelly Dilemma
yeah let's go on to your next so now we're going to a song that was released
in 2004 but it continued to be an important song in my life even right up
until now to be honest yeah but especially up until like 2010 and
the years where I started consuming alcohol and going out on the pull or you
know going out to try and meet girls and things like that with my best
mate Sims okay did Smurfette introduce you to women do you think because ever
since that song you've been talking about women interest you should say that
because there are lots of other songs on that album and it's all about y'know find
fine find the Smurfs find the Smurf um where can the Smurf be hiding and
there's some quite loving songs Wondersmurf sounds a bit rapey like Wonderwall Wondersmurf
okay there were a lot of songs that were kind of lovey-dovey and Smurfette
was the kind of subject of those songs she was the sexy Smurf that everyone
wanted to get she was the only Smurfette wasn't she was yeah she was the only one so
she was she played hard to get she certainly did yeah I remember
that yeah okay okay so Papa Smurf bit of paedo really yeah Papa meaning
he's her father right yep ah yeah potentially that's
disgusting yeah or like the Pope of the Smurf world oh okay
still he should be celibate yes yeah he shouldn't be smurfing anybody
so it's an Usher song from the album confessions and the song has got the same name confessions
he cheats on his girlfriend mm-hmm and the girlfriend the person he cheats with
falls pregnant and then that's he's kind of in a dilemma as well really but this
was a song that I used to listen to always with my mate Simo before we'd go out
right the album was amazing it had so many bangers on it and I loved it and
I used to just get very drunk with my friend in my room yeah we used to play the xbox
burnout oh yeah good game and we used to play drinking games to that so if we took the
other person out the other person would have to down their beer and my
parents hated it they hate it cos' we were binge drinking like idiot upstairs
listening to this album shouting being really loud lairy and um drinking way too
much three adjectives for Usha um cool modern I was gonna think smooth ah yeah guess so
cheating yeah disloyal yeah but is it is it real or is he just creating material
for his lyrics I reckon this probably happened in his life I mean not a lot of
writers song writers will write about things that have happened in their
life that's a shame maybe it's something he deeply regrets yeah and he wanted to
sort of confess to her yeah and the kid that's now
gonna grow up with a single mum yeah you know stacking shelves in Lidl
well that's assumptions. That'll be his next album haha the fourth song then I
probably first heard this in my first year well my only year when I was living in
Spain so this is an important song for me because I had worked for a year and a half
in England in a job I hated I'd been traveling came back worked another
job I hated became a teacher and then moved to spain it was my first teachers job
yeah my first proper teaching job okay yeah yeah so your first first
gig out in a foreign country yeah you did have some experience I remember in
Thailand or yeah another country in Asia yeah Cambodia in Cambodia sorry yeah and
you taught some very happy little children yeah some basic English mm-hmm
and that's when you sort of got a glimmer of hope towards a job that you
quite like exactly yes spot on yeah yeah so uh and also is that trip that maybe
think I wanted our language ah yes yes I remember
skyping you from America and you were in Cambodia you picked up a few words and
you were quite excited by it all yeah I was yeah it was amazing yeah I could
have a basic conversation with someone at the market just with just like in
in Cambodian in pidgen Cambodian (Khmer) really yeah we just like no grammer at all
just just words just vocabulary that's still very impressive it was great because you
weren't there for too long I think I've spent like three months there or
something in total so I returned home from that trip yeah and then was kind of
a bit down for a bit boohoo worked in another job that I despised became a
teacher and was asked what was that job roughly about I was a charity fundraiser
charity fundraiser on the phone working with a third party agency that was calling on
behalf of charities I was proper depressed but during that
time every day every morning for about three hours I was
learning Spanish yeah and that takes me onto this song yeah nice very nice so
what's this song so it's a song by Los Panchos which are Mexican bolero group
they sing like kind of what their version of ballads they're kind of
really love lovey-dovey songs right it's like a mariachi band
so three guitarists singing and harmonizing it's really beautiful and
they did a song called algo contigo okay which is something with you umm
something romantic and my Spanish teacher yeah in Spain introduced
me to this song and we learned it and did a listening exercise in a class
so very very romantic oh my god yeh so romantic ok
and musical as well hmm oh yeah yeah it's really beautiful so beautiful I'd
love to be able to like play the guitar like they do yeah but I can't well maybe maybe you
could while you have some time on the desert Island mmm what a bloody good idea OK so
so that's that's your fourth song right but let's just talk about that moment in your life so you said
that you were learning Spanish everyday for a couple of months or maybe more and
then you moved to Spain and did some teaching yeah and what happened in Spain
was a good experience for you it yeah it was a good experience yeah because I
learned what I like and what I don't like about teaching yeah I don't really love
working for an academy where your hours are all over the place yeah I was working some
hours at 8 a.m. in the morning and up to like 9 or 10 p.m. right with kind of
big gaps between classes that was awful okay and I meanwhile I was speaking
with you on skype between lessons yes and you were like man you should just
start working for yourself yeah I work like four or five hours a day I choose
when I work it's so chilled I don't have to teach anyone that I don't like and I was
like oh my god I hate you cos' I was I had some kids classes and these kids
literally hated my guts it was horrible he sent me a video of them just running
riot in the class and you just sat there like I can't do anything the worst thing
is they didn't speak in Spanish in the school they talked in Basque so I didn't
understand a word where is the basque region in Spain and it's kind of to the
east of Galicia and Asturias mm-hmm and then to the west of Catalonia
I always remember Bilbao Bilbao yeah great city I was about an hour
from there okay yeah and Bilbao is within the Basque region
it is right yeah yeah and Basque is not Spanish totally different okay in fact
the language is a complete mystery no one knows where it came from
do the Basque people speak Spanish yeah yeah okay pretty much all speak Spanish you
might go to a really small town yeah a small community where they can't speak
Spanish but it's quite unlikely Wow yeah okay so that was your fourth song yeah
now I am whisking you away to the desert island we have those four songs you've
got those four so you can listen to them as as up as often as you like okay okay
and of course you get what you've been waiting for the complete works of
Shakespeare oh good yeah good yeah can I have them in Spanish yes yes I'll give
you that and you also get the Bible or another religious book of your
preference that's guaranteed yeah it's in your suitcase already so you can't
sort of lob it out okay which which religious holy book would you like I'd
like something related to Buddhism like I don't know if they have a kind of
religious manuscript no they don't actually I was looking they don't have a
holy book but there are Buddhist books that you could take can I can I take the
writings of the the kind of best quotes of Buddha yeah in Spanish yes in Spanish
always in Spanish audiobook do you think you'll forget English because there's
been no one there to speak to you in English and I just have loads of Spanish
yeah loads of Shakespearean yes but maybe I need a bit of English I think
I'll be fine I don't think you forget your mother tongue
do you I'm going there I'm 27 nearly 28 I don't think I'm gonna forget
English how long do you reckon you'll last on this island yeah it depends on the
island how many coconuts they've got they've got a sufficient amount of
coconuts good amount of fish and stuff yeah yep they've got enough
fish I think I'll be all right you think what for as long as you will live
No I mean I'll probably end up killing myself I don't know until I get completely bored
you know there's there's illnesses that probably could kill you that are very
minimal in civilized life like just a little cut infected BAM lose you lose
your foot blood everywhere dead well that's something to look
forward to yeah but if you took the Bible maybe could rip out the pages and
of use it as a band-aid or find salvation in God in which case I wouldn't really fear death anymore
Umm so your last luxury item what's it gonna be now just to say this luxury item if
you haven't ever listened to the Desert Island Discs this item shouldn't allow
you contact with the outer world nor should it allow you ways to escape the
island so you've got to stay there you can't really speak to other people but
it's a luxury item I'm willing to give to you to send you away to this
island I think maybe a photo album of friends and family that I love very nice
because otherwise over time eventually maybe I'd forget what these
people look like and that would be horrible yeah so I'd have to try and draw them on pieces of
rock with a bit of chalk or on a Wilson volleyball yeah so if that's my mum yeah
I'm actually maybe I should just think of what Wilson volleyball you never know
you might find one of them yeah they do tend to leave them lying around
on desert islands yeah and you wouldn't lose your mind?
I can't promise that but it could well happen I don't know how long it's
gonna happen but I think the photos will help me I'll look and think
what would your Mum say yeah good thank you very much thank you well we're gonna send
you on to the desert island but it's been very interesting hope you've
enjoyed it guys right wish me luck
so if you enjoyed that give us a little thumbs up and leave us a comment as to
what you think about Harry's choices and whether you think he will survive for very
long see you in another video Bye for now
