  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Rob, and joining me today is Fei Fei.

  • Hello, everyone.

  • Hey, what about that new guy who started in the office?

  • Oh, you mean Brian?

  • Yes.

  • He's very funny, always telling jokes.

  • And yesterday he started juggling with three oranges.

  • He was very good.

  • Hmm, if you say so.

  • He might be funny, though, but I haven't seen him do much work.

  • I think he's a bit of a wild card.

  • A wild card?

  • You mean he is like a playing card?

  • A heart, a spade or maybe a diamond?

  • Oh, no, no, nothing like that.

  • Although the expression does come from playing cards here.
