Loved it, it was my first episode but I'll definitely listen to more. I've been learning Mandarin Chinese for about a year and half, I've been very pleasantly surprised I could understand quite a bit without transcript. Thank you for teaching me a few useful expressions.
非常感谢您,我都喜欢了。

Wonderful episode, various accents
