Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So good to here. Thank you, Phil, Phil Cooklan fill
my cup. Good morning, good morning, It's time to stop
my yawning. Got to fill my cup. Message from Phil
this morning. What a lovely way to start the day.
He is using the bicycling bicycling metaphor about how are
we get along in life and comparing and contrasting that

(00:22):
to how we learn to ride a bike as kids. Bobby,
good morning to you. Yes, the agony of the football
last night. I happened to catch the end of the match,
which was by far the most exciting, dramatic and stressful
part of the match. I think if you've got that
stored and you're watching it today, I won't spoil that

(00:42):
for you. But what a match between ben Fica and Barcelona.
Watched in the local cafe last night. I went to
pick up the family from the local cafe. We're watching
the storm in the bay and more to say about
that in the weather section. Bobby still not over it,
ben Faker fan, of course. Sorry mate, I'm so sorry
when I was sending you those messages last night. What
a match? Yeah, I'm sick as a dog here about

(01:05):
that result. Yeah, I mean, well, like I said, I
won't spoil it. But what an incredible game of football,
and it got the whole attention of everybody in the cafe.
Obviously as usual in the Portuguese cafe, football fans in
there watching the match. And very interesting in Portugal, how
gentlemen will take their ladies out for the evening to

(01:26):
watch a football match. Let's go out and have a
little bit of something to eat, maybe a drink at
the local cafe. Oh, that sounds nice. And then they
sit there and the fellow watches the football. Well, well,
the mom does u s adoku or whatever. But everyone
got into it by the end of the match. Everybody
I was shouting in the foreigner was shouting, and my

(01:47):
kids like what's he doing? I just couldn't help get
drawn into the excitement. What a game. And yeah, sorry
Poppy that it didn't go in quite the way you
might have hoped. Jackie, good morning to you. Oh I'm
going to tea duck as well. Bond yell of gumpers
with it. Is it yellow? It's an orangey heart, isn't
it the o citrusy heart of Portugal. There morning Mark

(02:08):
as well. Thank you for your contributions on the show.
Last night. That's what Jackie's referring to as well. It was.
It was a busy and popular one last last night
with Munson and the Geezer, and we had the Gezer
turning up in full Maga regalia last night and he faced,
he faced a little bit of stick, did the on
screen quite rightly. So as well on the gumpas sorry

(02:31):
I missed the show last night, Carl, Well, it is available.
That's the beauty of this technology, Jackie, I would recommend,
of course I would watching it again, but it was
it was particularly good fun last night. I'm having a
bit of a giggle as Mark's safe from the Trump inauguration.
That was the theme last night. Show seventeen. Had a
great time and thanks Tony as well for joining us

(02:52):
after at the Portugal Club for a little chat about
our event, our gig that's happening on the fifteenth of
February Valentine's weekend. Please come over to San Martino di
Porto to enjoy Valentine's weekend. Fellas, take your lady to
the cafe. There's probably a great football match. John. Of course,
ladies taking ladies, Fellas taking ladies, whatever your love arrangements,
come over to San Martino di Porto on the fifteenth

(03:15):
of February, and it happens to be it's a beautiful
sandwich of debauchery because it happens to be the weekend
of the Kaldashtahena Beer Festival as well, So Saturday and
Sunday cald Beer Festival by day Saturday nights at the
Cazardlem the Wheelhouse cocktail bar. We were talking last night

(03:36):
about our plans of a pa karaoke disco. Collins got
a few jokes. Gav and the Geezer are going to
do a little bit of live entertainment as well. It's
going to be great fun. So really looking forward to that.
Let's crack on with a Bondier daily, then a bit
of news, weather and language and culture. I'm going to
keep the I'm going to keep the news part fairly

(03:57):
brief because it keeps squeezing the other parts, doesn't it.
Of well being? Got an interesting little well being tip
for you this morning. I bought fifty liters of water
last night. Are having to replenish my supply that I
used last week after the water cut off. You if
we've been through that story yet, it's going to be
in the paper on Thursday, in the Portugal Resident. But yeah,

(04:20):
let's crack on and do a nice little weather bit.
You saw cop shots was the name of the or
the headline for the news today. Look at that fantastic
photo there, there's one of the credos. Well, what are they?
Theyre one of the great emblems of Northern Portugal, are
they not? It must be? Are we coming up to
that event and that particular brilliant photograph from well, that's

(04:44):
what we're making the news focus this morning. I'll give
you a bit of a backstory on there. The Kreto
hasn't been arrested. And it's interesting, isn't it. It's like
weapons through the ages as well. I think the careto
carries a wooden stick by way of defending themselves, and
also I think part of the tradition is to tap

(05:05):
members of the opposite sex on the bottom to show
interest with a wooden stick. Things have come on a
little bit, I suppose, haven't they. Now we've got tinder
and grinder. Well still that tradition is being upheld in
northern Portugal. But that's not the reason why that caretor
is on the back of a police bike. The reason
for that is this is the Europeol Photography Competition of

(05:28):
twenty twenty four and the PSP has the privilege. This
is from the Facebook page of the PSP, one of
Portugal's three main police forces. Here the PSP has the
privilege of announcing its participation in Capture twenty four. See
what they did there, Capture twenty four. It's a police

(05:48):
thing and it's a photography thing. Capture Europol's annual photography competition,
winning the public vote category with the photograph of Chief
Sarah Tijeira, who currently works at the PSP in Braganza.
And the competition is open to police officers from all
member states of the EU, aiming to praise and promote

(06:09):
the work of police forces. Excellent shot by Sera there
of the cat on the back of the police motorcycle.
Is not that a fantastic photograph there? And I'll pop
that up in the Portugal Club Portugal Club timeline a
little bit later on, so you can look at that
and a connection to the story as well. So that's
a nice little bit of news and insight into Portuguese

(06:32):
culture as well. So I'll come back to that monitor
John as well. Thanks for joining us born dear Portugal,
not a bard, dear Portugal. It would appear it's much milder,
isn't it nicer? I mean, there's a lot of water
in the atmosphere at the moment. Get those humidifiers on.
Spark up the humidifiers everybody. It's very humid and work
here on the Silver Coast, of course, but it is

(06:53):
fourteen degrees. It's so nice to get up without it
being sort of brass monkey type. If that means something
to you. I don't know. Bondigumpus from Mic as well. Yeah,
good fun last night, Mike. Thank you for your contributions.
When I was trying to explain when you were saying,
when you were using the classification hypocrite, and then you

(07:16):
I think you wanted to make it clear that you
were talking about Trump and not the Tony, the Portuguese,
and I was going to make some comic material of that.
I don't think Tony would mind being called a hypocrite,
but we never got round to clearing up. And I
don't think he's got a pretty broad back. I don't
think you offended him. I think you have to try harder.
Basically next week, right, let's get into some Portuguese language

(07:38):
and culture. I think the emphasis probably on culture, but
there will be some language in here as well. And
this is how to order coffee in Portugal. We've got
a whole resource over there at the Good Morning Portugal
Club under our Good Morning Portugal Food, Wine and Fun
Time section in the classroom, all sorts of goodies. Look

(07:59):
at this FOODI experiences Portuguese food, Portuguese spirits, wines, recipes,
et cetera, et cetera. That's this is a strong part
of Portuguese culture, of course. But I want to draw
your attention because I was in a cafe yesterday. Well
not any old cafe, the cafe I love to go
to after the show and have myself a goal out
and an padodofrangle my chicken chicken pie. Now the coach

(08:20):
is talking about chicken pie a BONDI of gumpers if
they cut a quiet day for Team Turner, though I
do have a chicken and handpie to make later. Send
pictures for us to drool over. Enjoy your day whatever
you've got planned. Yes, So after the show, I do
like to get over to the Mrkel Cafe just above
the market. The Mercado here in Sement near the porta.

(08:41):
Have a gal out, have a flaky puff pastry chicken pie. Bobby,
you would approve. I think of the pastry as a
baker back in the day and as a man who
loves to make food. I think you'd like the pastry. Oh,
I'm just thinking about it now is making me hungry
and salivate. Morning, Gary, good to see you here this morning.
Thank you joining us, bondie all from you, and it's

(09:03):
twelve degrees. I will come back to the weather there.
Thank you that for that? Hefalumps what all right? So yeah,
Michalau and my mpaada flango. That is my ritual. After
the show, maybe grab some really the best croissants in
town up there at the Markel Cafe just above the market.
And while I was in there yesterday I saw somebody.
I saw the one of the girls in there making

(09:24):
a pingardo. I didn't know it was a pingardo, but
I could see that she was making a coffee in
espresso sized cup. Oh, by the way, did you see
my rather plaintive show description today? I think it's something
like politics, business, money and power. Make it makes sense?
Who better to talk about that than the doc from
the political angle of course, and a Stuart Noakes from

(09:47):
Canopy as well. He's bringing a new entrepreneur over to Portugal.
It's always great to speak to him and to speak
to the guests that he brings along as well. Somebody
new to Lisbon in the entrepreneur space. Anyway, that's eight
twenty and eight forty risks efectively. Anyway, back into the
cafe and I'm seeing one of the young ladies there
make a pingado which you'll see on the right of

(10:07):
your screen. Here is the espresso shot. This. I would
love to give full credit to whoever the graphic designer
who made this lovely chart here, as we do our
best to bring you some culture and language here this
morning on the Good Morning Portugal show in the bond
Via Daily section. But when I looked for it, you
know these these are graphics and there are some really

(10:28):
good ones about. These are lovely posters of course to
have in your house and a great way, great insight
into Portuguese culture and language of course, because you're gonna
you're gonna hear some Portuguese words here that are very
useful in other context as well. Late for example, and
Shadinho too. But there I was, and she was pouring
an espresso small cup of course, over on the second

(10:49):
row here on the right hand side, and I was thinking,
what's that. There's an espresso being the espresso has been made,
and she's pouring in some some hot milk onto the
top of it, and just out of nowhere it came
to mind that it was a ping gardo, and I
thought I'd better check that and we can talk about
that on the show in the morning. That'll be nice.
So it's a hint of milk if you like an
espresso and you want to take the bitterness away, and

(11:11):
you just like a little bit of a little dollop
of foam on top of that. Now, that of course
is a doppiata in Italian. I can't remember now or
what you might ask for in America or the UK.
But here in Portugal that would be the pingado. So
let's go back to the beginning and the top here,
top line, and the basic unit of all coffees of

(11:32):
course that are made would be the cafe and cafe
or a beaka in other parts of the country, and
a symbolina was I think as well. Up in the
north right Beka I think in Lisbon symbolina in Porto
in the north and cafe basically Keddy and cafe flash
for all. I'd like a coffee, please, Kiddy and cafe,

(11:52):
and that's what you're gonna get your espresso shot top
left hand corner. Tell me, of course, what your favorite
is I do. I used to drink a lot of
mail the lights when I first arrived here, and now
I tend to go for either a cafe after my
meal or a galau before if I'm having a breakfast
coffee like the Italians do the Italians, and I'm surprised
to see a cappuccino on here, I must say, I

(12:14):
don't think the cappuccino really is part of Portuguese. It's
a concession, isn't it to the foreigners. But it's not
really a Portuguese coffee. Your galau is like your latter,
and your Mayre Delight is the closest to your cappuccino.
But more about that later. The basic unit of them all,
of course, is the cafe. Getting on cafe if you
want your straight shot. If you want two shots, you'll

(12:34):
be asking for a duplo, which is fairly straightforward, isn't
it double duplo? And you can see that Actually this
is making me somewhat desirous as well looking at this,
Oh last night. Words. Words that I've learned this week.
Cupidity is greed, a sort of desirous greed. I suppose cupidity.

(12:55):
I've not heard of that. I thought it was a
type at first. Thank you crypto Strategist for that. And
co pathetic I've heard of that in a wrap tune
I think before, but I didn't know what it meant
copaesthetic and cupidity copoesetic, I think, meaning all in order.
That's what we're trying to do here with teaching you,
sharing with you the information about Portuguese coffees such an
important part of the culture. Of course, going to the

(13:16):
cafe having a coffee. The duplo is your double shot espress,
so your karaoka is not to be confused with a
karaoke or is your carry okay. Karaoka is the second press,
and by that I'm assuming that it goes through once
to make the cafe. And no, that's right, it's a

(13:39):
second there's only half a cup there, so it's not
a duplo made of one and a half shots, or
a full strength shot and then a half strength. This
is I guess for somebody who doesn't want quite as
a strong or bitter or powerfuler coffee. And the first
if this might be a Jack Spratt and his wife
coffee scenario, here first press for one of the partners,

(14:01):
and then the second press do it again, press the
button again, push the water through for a second week
of press. That's the cadioka. If you want one of those.
It's like I said, hit seconds, isn't it really? It
just seems to me a little bit. I think there
are better ways of weakening a coffee, aren't they, like
the Americano possibly anyway, if you don't want caffeine, that's

(14:22):
fine here in Portugal as well, excuse excuse me. Discaffinado
would be a decaf discaffinado di scaffinado, who is the
word for decaffeinated here in Portugal, and cafe con scherino.
I hope you're learning something. Even if you do know
all these words already, there's probably something on this chart
that's new to you. And I like how this is

(14:43):
color coded on the only coffee here with alcohol in it,
The yellow yellow on the graphic is the Cafe Cornerino,
which is a strategic coffee. Some Portuguese gentlemen have this
first thing in the morning, others Jason I saw. I
was looking through some of the ex Cci conversations we've
had about coffee over at the Portugal Club, and Jason,

(15:04):
who was on the show yesterday, of course, is saying, yeah,
after working on the land, it's a lovely pick me up.
The Cafe con Scherino. Pop down a cafe on your tractor,
ask for a cafe con scherno. It means a sniff.
A charino is like a sniff sniffer a shot of
Agua dant probably rather than asking for brandy. But if
you ask, if you ask for a chardino, the cafe
owner will know exactly what you mean. Cafe con sherina

(15:25):
then with a shot of alcohol in it. The gal
out my current favorite and what I like after the
show of a morning goal out approximating to the latter coffee.
And the worst thing about the latter here in Portugal
as it is, I think universally in the world is
the stupid cups that gets served in what who who

(15:47):
on earth decided? I know we'll make a will make
a milky coffee volcanically hot sometimes, and then we'll put
it in a in a tall glass that's tapered upwards
so its center of gravity is ridiculous. And then we'll
put it on a saucer that doesn't fit. We'll also
a couple we'll chuck a couple of sachets of sugar

(16:08):
on there, and a massive long spoon to get caught
on the back of someone's coat as you're making your
way to your chair. So that's likely to get spilt,
isn't it at some point, either with the coffee maker
putting it on the countertop, you carrying it back, or
it's being brought over on a tray and then getting
it like you know, it's like a Houston. We have
a problem. We are we are we are ejecting the

(16:29):
cafe from the the coffee from the tray onto the table.
Oh dear, we've got a problem. Most and it's fallen over.
Its center of gravity was ridiculous. Now I like this,
Sorry did I start to shout? Then? I like this?
In this in the squatter, shorter like almost like a
water tumbler, not the great big, silly tapered cup that

(16:50):
you see in with lattes around the world, so I
much prefer it if it's a in a small jurallex Yes,
I said, durallex tumbler type cup. Yeah, like you know,
a bit higher than your normal coffee cup, but not
a silly center of gravity. But there you go. We've
got the Galao, which is kind of like a latter,
but it's not the same. It's not It really isn't

(17:11):
the same. The pingado that we talked about before, the
Mayor Delight, which is half milk, well Mayor the late
half milk, half of the milk there, half espresso, half
milk in there as well. I think you're looking for. Ah, yes,
that is a cafecheto, really, isn't it. I think the
espresso has been with the Mayre Delight. The espress has

(17:32):
been I think pressed a little bit longer, so there's
a little bit more coffee volume in there, and then
half milk as well. As the name suggests, Mare Delight.
You're Americano a batanado, I would like to see that
called here. That would be a little bit of a
feedback for the graphic designer and translated, a batanado would
be your Americano two thirds water, one third espresso topped

(17:54):
up with hot water. There and we don't need to
speak about the cappuccino. Get the back you cappucina, you know,
and you'll see a funny thing which I can't possibly
read out, but thanks to Katia Lima who contributed to
our coffee drinking resources over there, which I think is
not so much about the cappuccina but more about the
people who want to order a cafe latter here it

(18:15):
is a galau, as you are told in no certain
terms with that graphic on the screen there, so they
go there there, Oh, less milk if it's an escuda.
This is great. Thank you mister s for your additional
resources on this. We'll take a quick look at the
weather because we've got the doc ready and waiting for
us Borador. The Welsh Connections continues that amazing have a

(18:38):
bit of scottishness in just a moment with the Thompson
My favorite ju ad Neesta says is the mayor, the
late duplos okay double shot mayor the late oh very
good getting into the culture there mayor the late Escura
suffache for all. Yeah, less milk if it's an Eshura.
This is great, thank you for the additional input on this.
And yes, mister s Eshcurda is right, but I also

(18:58):
want the size of a gale. Who doesn't like the
size of a galau? First thing in the morning. Let
us then take a very quick look at the weather.
These Spartan Effects with I was. I was thinking to myself,
why don't we do a currency weather metaphors beginning currency
is like the weather, because well, certainly yesterday, I said,
because it goes, it tends to change here from day

(19:21):
to day. There you go. You can get a free
copy of the Moving Money to Portugal guide made by
Spartan Effects for us. And we're looking here at the
weather in Lisbon. Now sixteen degrees the height, and it's
there already. Actually the maximum temperatures have been reached in
most parts of the country. It is not my pleasure
to tell you today, however, it is sixteen degrees and

(19:41):
it's rainy in the capitol and it looks set for
rain for the rest of the week everywhere, folks. So
Southwester's a fallous fallous handled umbrellas from kaldsh Dania. It's
your chance to get that in your hand. Missus M
gave out a couple of them time. So we want
to see our friends who have those jaunty eccentric umbrellas

(20:06):
using the You're one of the shuvas using those if
we bump into you in the street and someone you
need to port to on the Silver Coast Porto similarly
fourteen degrees. It's reached. It's high light rain today in Porto,
rain or week Cembra Central sixteen degrees and twelve degrees
currently sixteen the high twelve degrees currently like rain in
Quembra and Pharaoh even eighteen degrees a broken cloud's going

(20:29):
to be some rain there and Imbraga light rain already
thirteen the high currently twelve and yes rain for the
rest of the week. This can change, of course, just
like a currency can at any given moment. And that's
your weather in the principal parts of the country. One
quick thing before we bring the before we switch to
Good Morning Portugal programming with the doc in just a

(20:52):
moment and Stu noakes he's lifting ten kilos to start
the day. That's a well being gesture in its own right.
Had to use much of the water supply. I don't
know if I'm going to hold it. I had to
use much of the water supply last week when our
water got cut off, and now I'm replenishing our apocalyptic
prepper store water. It came in useful last week. As

(21:15):
to be said, this however, is going to be very
easy to store, much easier than the plastic bottles we had,
and I prefer the idea that we are water storage
for our emergency suppliers in foil. Although I'm guessing aluminium
is not the greatest contribution to human health, is it?
But anyway, wish you'll see ten liter ecopac made by

(21:35):
mon Chik. The well being part of this is that
it is nine point five pH. It's unusual in that
it's an alkaline water, and I think we could do
with a bit of alkalizing from times time with our
acidic diets and lifestyles. I wonder what the doc thinks
about that acidity, alkalinity, et cetera, et cetera. Let's bring
him on all Bonda. Yeah, what do you make of that, doc?

(22:05):
Was it just a faddy thing when people started to
talk about alkalinity and diets and lifestyles. No, it's it's
important if you look at the health effects of p H.
I mean the important thing is not going for either way.
Of course, balance
