A "The Soup" Question for native english speakers or english experts

Got a problem phonetic wise - yeah again.

What does the female voice say when Chat Stew is up?
So neaty? So needy? Or something completely different?

So Meaty

LOL! I really should have known. It´s logical. Thank you!!

You could also just google the script of the particular episode. I've done it from time to time with the series Frasier when dialogue either goes too fast or just lacks proper articulation, very convenient.

This may sound a little odd but, one can google a for whole script? No big deal concerning news shows but entertainment? TV-Series too? Really? How? Where?

Edit:
Couldn't find any scripts of your TV show, but I'm sure you could find if you search hard. Am not sure how populair 'The Soup' is, but you'd definitely be able to find the more populair series'.

Here's an example for the show Frasier:

If it is that time consuming you have to admit it is easier to ask the users. Within minutes I received an answer.

I doubt production companies release TV-Serie scripts. The only scenario I can imagine would be, if a TV Show freak did some script work for other fans.

Thank you for your tip!

Nope, some do release official scripts for their shows and movies.

Not sure about games, but might be aswell.

Eitherway, I find it more convenient to have the scripts at the palm of my hands of my favourite shows, rather than to probably wonder & ask every little thing in the future about it. And besides, searching doesn't really take longer than asking on a forum, considering you have to wait for responses and hope people get it right and not just guess. :)

Basicly you are right. In this case meaty does make sense. I even should have figured it out myself. Stew = Meaty. lol I doubt any native english speaker has to guess here.

A script will come in handy if slang is used, which happens quite often since the first episode of Law & Order. And let´s not even mention british and australian slang. A killer. But I have some disbeliefs concerning the visual identification of dialects too.

I nearly forgot to ask. Are you a Seinfeld fan too?

I like the series, but I don't consider it a classic. So I guess that makes me half a fan? Not sure. As you probably noticed, I'm more of a Frasier type a guy. The jokes in Frasier require a bit more thinking (and sometimes googling!) than with most sitcoms. :D

I consider Seinfeld my all time favorite sitcom. As far Kelsey Grammar is concerned I am waiting impatiently for "Boss" to return" for second season. Never seen him act better before, and he is a great Comedian, I had my serious doubts about his acting skills regarding the different genre.
Personally I think Seinfeld is far more challenging than Frasier. But different people, different taste. Production Companies hate that.
