Episode 16 – Animals make you healthier
Martin Johnston Johnston 
Listen to HOW animals make you HEALTHIER, what animals scare Dan and a dog that wants to kill me! Lots of talk about bum holes again plus the usual RnR vocabulary like:
My English has really come along
I would rather have a heart attack
My self-esteem is sky high
I’ve never got over my rabbit dying
The dog is going to go ape shit when it sees you
Stroking animals reduces stress
A stray dog under my house wants to kill me
The dog starts barking
That’s one thing I detest about you

RnR Grammar
This is more pronunciation than grammar, but as I don’t have a RnR pronunciation section, I thought I would include it here!
A common thing that Dan and I say on the show is:
“you could’ve / would’ve / should’ve bin….“
The ‘bin’ part is not actually correct, the word we want to say is ‘been’. However, if you speak to any mother tongue English speaker, this will always be shorted to ‘bin’ when “could’ve”, “would’ve”, “should’ve” or even “might’ve” come before it.
IMPORTANT – writing words like “could’ve”, “should’ve” etc. in this way is VERY informal, only do this if you are writing to a very close friend and it doesn’t look so great!
