Recorded on Aug 6, 2026. Welcome back to another episode of Messy English Chats! We are in the car this time, trying to make up for (almost) a summer of silence. In this unscripted ride, we dive straight into Pineapple's recent return to the swimming pool after a year-long break. It wasn't graceful—chest pressure, the panic of forgetting how to kick and all. We also touch upon our English reading sessions, discussing the progress (or lack thereof) in Captain Underpants and the Minecraft novels. From the definition of a "mirage" to the struggles of private tutoring costs, it's a raw, unedited look at our learning journey. No fancy production here, just a dad, a son, and a lot of "messy" but honest conversation. Hope you enjoy the chaos! 欢迎回到《Messy English Chats》！我们终于又回到车里录音啦，算是给沉寂了一整个夏天的节目填个坑。这期完全是即兴发挥，主要聊聊小菠萝停了一年后重返泳池的那些事儿。说实话过程真没啥美感——胸闷气短、忘了怎么蹬腿…… 除了吐槽游泳，我们也顺带聊了聊读英语书的情况，比如《内裤超人》和《我的世界》小说，不过读得也真是太慢了！从讨论“海市蜃楼”是啥意思，到心疼一对一私教课烧钱，这就是我们最真实、无剪辑的学习日常，就是一对父子在车里瞎侃，主打一个真实。 欢迎你来一起玩！

Hey everyone! This episode was recorded on January 7th, 2026, and it's our very first one of the year!

A nice walk around Jinji Lake on a sunny day.

Hey listeners! It's Pineapple and Toby from Messy English Chats—the podcast where we talk mostly unscripted, rambling, and totally messy English while living our daily lives! 🎙️ We're all about real, unfiltered moments—no fancy scripts, just us being us. This episode? We're out on a walk (again!) chasing two things: a bottle of water (we forgot to bring any—oops!) and random thoughts that pop into our heads. We start in the park searching for a vending machine, then wander to a mall later. No plans, just us chatting like we always do. What did we dive into? Here are the messy highlights: * Pineapple's smart watch (we still argue over its name—television watch? Telephone watch? Who cares! 🤷♂️) and how we messed with the band (removed two sections, then added one back). * Our homework battle: Pineapple rants about tedious Chinese character writing and dictation that ate up hours. I admit I lost my cool and turned into a monster (sorry, Pineapple!). But guess what? We made up—Pineapple forgave me, and that's the best part ❤️. * A quick environmental chat: Pineapple spots a green life sign and shares his take on saving the Earth—so proud of his growing English skills! * Pineapple's big dream: a Transformer toy! We even head to Rainbow Mall to hunt for it. This episode is full of silly mistakes, warm apologies, and the kind of dad- son chaos that makes life fun. If you love unfiltered, heartwarming chats with a side of messy English, hit play and walk with us! 😊 P.S. Ignore our random Chinese phrases—we're still learning to keep it all English (sort of)! 😉 — Toby Messy English Chats Team ( P.S. This episode was recorded on Oct 26th. 😜)

This is an old episode we recorded during the National Day holiday.

Here comes part 2. Finally!!!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Messy English Chats! I'm joined by my incredible son, Pineapple. We've been waiting a long time to record this special episode, as Pineapple accomplished something truly remarkable this summer: he won a gold prize – the first prize – in a big English competition in Beijing! I couldn't be prouder. For this episode, we're diving into his competition journey, specifically showcasing his prepared speeches from the first two rounds. You'll hear him bravely recite several of his orations, many of which delve into Chinese culture and traditions, often featuring his popular robot friend, Sparky. As you'll notice, it's getting "messier and messier" as the night goes on. Pineapple is quite tired, and his voice isn't sounding quite right, but he's a true champion for sharing these wonderful speeches. We'll go through the rest of his 25 prepared speeches in the next episode. So, settle in, and enjoy Pineapple's triumphant (and sometimes sleepy) tales!

In this episode, recorded over a month ago, Daddy coach Toby tries to prepare Pineapple for a big English competition. Tune in to revisit their challenging and fun training session!
