Super Saturday @ THE PUB! - Revisiting the Heart of Social Life
Almost everybody, every new person I've met in this area in The Last Five Years I have met in a pub, you know, being introduced to someone halfway through a conversation.
Geoff and Matt, the dynamic duo behind 'Wet and Dry', take you on a nostalgic journey back to the pub on Super Saturday post-lockdown. After months of missing their favorite hangout, they finally reunite with friends over drinks and food, capturing the essence of what makes pubs so special. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on the role of pubs in our social lives and how they've been missed during the lockdown.
They dive into the nitty-gritty of their pub visit, from the amusing chaos of queue-jumping to the somber reality of social distancing. Geoff and Matt don’t shy away from discussing how different groups—youngsters, couples, and friends—are navigating this new normal. Their banter also covers the rise of non-alcoholic drink options, sharing their top picks and taste-testing new lagers. The duo wraps up with some thought-provoking musings on the future of pub culture in a post-COVID world.
As Geoff poignantly notes, 'Almost everybody, every new person I've met in this area in the last five years I have met in a pub'. This episode offers a blend of humor, nostalgia, and a touch of optimism about the evolving social landscape.
