0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Today we're recording on Gadighul country and.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 2>We'd like to pay our respects to the traditional custodians

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Gati. Girl people, I know you're gonna dig this.

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 2>It's like I've been given like an extra sprinkle of something.

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You've got layers, Yeah, I got layers.

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I was just thinking, I'm like, we're just such beautiful storytellers.

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 2>You make a lot of sense to that. Girl. No,

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm done, lest I've been too.

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Honest to go. Let's not Valentine's Day. First things First.

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Who pranks someone on Valentine's Day?

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 3>That is a bit savage. It is a bit savage.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna lie what was going through Denny's mind.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if anything was, because look, I at

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>first thought, oh my god, like what is happening. He

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>put this blindfold on me. I knew this camera was

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 2>set up, so I thought something cute was happening.

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you honestly thought beyon tickets.

0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought Beyonce tickets. But I also said a few

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 2>other things that he cut out, Like I was like,

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing? Like did you make something? Did

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>you cook? Like I just thought that it was going

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>to be something cute, and then when it wasn't like

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>there's such a mixed bag of emotions for me with this,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>so like at first I was like, what the fuck's

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 2>going on? Like, oh, he can't be proposing, Like is

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>this actually happening? Like yeah, I just thought, all that's

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a bit too soon, Like that's the first reaction I

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>had was like, Oh, I don't know if like this

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>is the moment, you know.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Which because you saw like so he takes a blind

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 3>oh you take the blindfold off?

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And in my voice, in his voice, it sounded

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 2>so sincere It sounded like he was gonna cry. So

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>his voice was like, you know, you deserve so much

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.559
<v Speaker 2>more than this and everything. I was thinking, oh my god,

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>like is he actually going to do this? But I

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>was like wait, what did you hear my voice? I

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>was like what like that? That's like where my emotion was.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It was so like what what's happening? And then when

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the box came around and there was an egg in it,

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>and then I was like you fucking kidding me? Like

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>is this actually happening? And then I got pissed off

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>because I was like, you're playing with my feelings a

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit. And then it went from that to being

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>really funny afterwards. I laughed for so long, Like I

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>laughed for probably like a good five minutes after being angry.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 2>But then everyone started sliding into the dms and made

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>almost like influenced what I had. Then got over, Yeah,

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 2>got over and accepted as okay, stupid funny prank. Then

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>everyone was messaging me saying this is cruel. So then

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 2>my mind goes, yeah, this motherfucker, this is cruel. This

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>is cruel, This is cruel. So now I'm back in this,

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:42.119
<v Speaker 2>like I feel sorry for myself, you know, like I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>he shouldn't have done that. And I think that because

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 2>of everyone else's reaction and how much they probably hated

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it for me. Yeah, I then became even deeper.

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna lie. I definitely did feel that as well. Yeah,

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.080
<v Speaker 3>because like I know, like love is so important to you,

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>and like obviously a proposal was such a grand gesture

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 3>and like I've had a had like you know, I've

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 3>been proposed too, so I like, what did.

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>You do in that moment? Can I just ask how

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>did it actually feel?

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>I the second I'll talk about the second time, because

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 3>the first time was like just more of a.

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Like it's happened twice.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 3>The first time was like more of a cover up

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>of like a like fixed relationship kind of thing. Yeah,

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 3>and then like three months later we end up breaking up,

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>and then the second time.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess the second time, I probably want to talk

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to a bit more because.

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Like, I don't know, I felt like those two moments

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 3>like took away my big moment. Okay, yeah, and I

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>think it's really I think women, not all women feel

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 3>this way, but I think a proposal was really important

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 3>to a woman and how it's done because it's I

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>guess that's also a societal push thing as well, Like

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>it's like this grand gesture. So I can imagine like

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 3>how I would feel in that situation. And I felt

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 3>for you because it's like it's not one on Valentine's

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Day like any other day. Sure, but then I'm like

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 3>a prank on Valentine's Day.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>It was like three days before, just to be honest, it.

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Was three days before, okay, so it.

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't on Valentine's Day, but then he posted it before

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Valentine's Day, like the day before, so yeah, it was before,

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 2>but it was.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 3>But everyone around that time, it was just like everyone's

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 3>like saying love. There are actual, like legitimate like engagements happening,

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 3>and like you're probably like maybe you know, there's some

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 3>comparison culture going on, and you're like, oh, like that's cute.

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>And you know what his actual reaction to me to

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>talking about this. So basically on Valentine's Day he didn't

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 2>post anything. Oh so he posted that video the day

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>before Valentine's.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.919
<v Speaker 3>And then nothing like and then nothing So for me,

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you something.

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>So I went to see a show Friday night, Valentine's Day. Yeah,

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 2>that was Friday, Yeah, Friday Friday, and I was Christy

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in our news show Hadestown, Yeah, And I was in

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the crowd watching the show, and my focus should have

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>been on the show, but all I was thinking was

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I wonder because my phone was on flight mode. I

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 2>was like, I wonder, by the time if I get

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>out of this show, has he posted anything. It's been

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>all day, so I was hoping that maybe he would

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>have posted something to share his love for me. Right,

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>he didn't, And so I got home and I was like, hey,

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I just want you to know something. I feel a

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>little bit like sad. Actually that I, you know, posted

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a nice video of us and like some like cute

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 2>memories and created this real and you haven't posted anything

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>other than the prank video and now everyone's reaction to that,

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>plus you not posting something nice and genuine and exactly.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that if he posted something that was opposite

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to that, I would have felt like, oh, okay, you

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>know what. But he didn't. So I ended up telling

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>him that, and then we ended up having like a

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 2>bit of an awkward moment where he was like, well,

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter about how other people see us. It's

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>about how I treat you and how this you know, this,

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>this holiday, this day is so commercialized, but it is

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>and I get that. But at the same time, he

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 2>is not hearing what I'm saying to him, So I'm

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 2>saying to him, I feel sad, right, So if I

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 2>feel sad and you're just telling me all the excuses

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>as to why you didn't do it, wouldn't you just

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 2>think to yourself, Okay, babe, you know what. Sorry, I'll

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>post something. Yeah that's gonna make you feel nice. I'm

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 2>going to post something. But he's not big on like

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 2>doing things for But.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Can I ask the question so like, you know, him

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 3>doing that prank video, did he kind.

<v Speaker 3>have this this banta with your partner, which is really special,

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 3>and then like yeah, but when is it too far?

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe the egg was Honestly.

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>I also just think like you guys are going through

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 3>this journey of like baby and surrogency and just an

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 3>egg just is not like yeah, totally.

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I can imagine like a vibrator or like condom.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Or something was that the egg was expensive and eggs

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>are expensive these days.

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:40.199
<v Speaker 3>And you know avocados, like do an avocado, they're fucking expensive.

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of avocados, you know what I fucking hate when

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 2>you open an avocado and it's not ripe because you

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>can't fix that ship. It's hard and it goes in

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the bin. But anyway, Valentine's Day.

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I'll commercialize a little bit though. Yeah, but I get

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 3>around it.

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm like you one hundred percent around it because you

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 2>normally have your gals and Gallantines.

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Gazing Galantine gazing Galentine. Yeah, the last three or four

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 3>years I've held a Gallantine. So when I first moved

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 3>to Melbourne in twenty twenty one, just before the Bachelorette,

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I actually came to Melbourne for Galentines and it was

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 3>with all First Nations women.

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>So pretty cute.

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we just like booked an airbnban and like it

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 3>was in Collingwood. So that's sort of you know, I

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 3>get around the girls because I don't think I've really

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 3>had a Valentine, like a proper Valentine. Yeah, so what

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 3>about this yere air or yeah, oh I mean that

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 3>year I had a very weird Valentine.

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, but you go like super cutesy with your

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Valentine like events, like you do the colors, the roses,

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the right to the pink little things. I saw on

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>your story. I was like cute.

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well this year I did have a Valentine, but

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 3>they weren't in Melbourne, so I still got around the girls.

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, I organized a little Gallantines thing and I

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 3>just sort of said to a few group charts that

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I have with some people, if you don't have a Valentine,

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 3>like come over and like we'll just have like drinks

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 3>and snacks and all kind of themed I don't know, you.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Said getting around the girls. Yeah, was that a hint at.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 3>She's I literally like have this like that like vision

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 3>of myself literally walking in slow motion like throwing a

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 3>paper in the air, and all of it is just

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 3>like I'm back, Like she's back, She's she's back on

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 3>the girl train. I mean I've been back a little bit.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Like give me some grace.

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever feel pressure because of how people see

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.680
<v Speaker 2>you in terms of being bisexual or pan sexual? Do

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you ever feel pressure that like if you're if you

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>haven't been with someone of the same sex, that you're

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be labeled like not that.

0:10:54.880 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>I think maybe like from yeah, a societal pressure. And

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.719
<v Speaker 3>I've read a lot of books around bisexually bisexuality and

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 3>TV and I've never really like, I didn't really care

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 3>for it to be fair in terms of like the

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 3>views and everything that they have as a bisexual.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Woman, because it kind of just gets dismissed, you know.

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 3>It's like, oh, they're just confused or they're greedy, and

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm just all these perceptions that you have on a

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 3>bisexual woman. Like I just never felt, honestly, like, as

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 3>much as I was the bisexual bachelorette, the word bisexual

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 3>never really like just really felt like a whole of me.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.199
<v Speaker 2>It sounded great for the title, though, but they have

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 2>you know that sounds nice, Yeah, exactly tally four B.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.199
<v Speaker 2>So they would have really capitalized on that sound.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Because they actually asked me, if anything, if we go

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.719
<v Speaker 3>back in time and they you know, they're like, what

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 3>do you want to be titled? And I was like, well,

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 3>you're only casting men and women, so I can't really,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, title myself a pan sexual Batchel because you're

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 3>not really being gender diverse, you know what I mean,

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 3>no non binary people on the show. So I was

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 3>kind of confined to that in a sense. But when

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I think about my footy days and my queerness and

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 3>growing up with a lot of queer women playing footy,

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Like no one was like, Hey, I'm Alisha, I'm bisexual,

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 3>or like hey I'm Jane Doe and I literally I

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 3>play forward but I'm also bisexual, Like no one was

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>It was like, hey, I'm my name and that's ime with.

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Hey I'm Maddie and I'm definitely straight, Like no, but yeah, I.

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Feel like, like you know, me doing my TED talk

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 3>in twenty nineteen and was like how do you introduce yourself?

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 3>That really mattered to me because I felt like how

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I ever like introduced myself wasn't really how people saw me.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 3>And I felt like The Bachelorette just really like it's

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 3>exacerbated that and like that feeling of like, oh fuck,

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 3>I just feel like I'm not in the driving seat,

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I feel like I'm just a passenger to these

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 3>titles and it's fine, but anyways, going on a tangent now,

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 3>but I feel like I have like a specific like

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 3>specific girl or type when I want to date women,

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 3>and it's like for me, it just like someone needs

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to spark like a visceral reaction.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>And sort of reaction like what is what is visceral reaction?

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Like honestly, everything like butterflies, like intensity of like like

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm attracted to them.

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that I'm attracted.

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 3>To them, like I actually like look at them like

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 3>I want to kiss them. And I don't even have

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 3>that with men like at all, Like I literally feel

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 3>like I'm putting up with men like in a sense,

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 3>but like I have had that attraction, but that's come later.

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 3>But for specific women, it has to have this like

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 3>for me, yeah, and I feel like.

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a god what Yeah, Anyways, I had that.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm opposite you looking at you and pretending that no

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>one else is in studio, giving you the cue of

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>like are you gonna introduce?

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well I had that with someone and it's such

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 3>a weird and unusual like story in a sense. But

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I saw this girl, and you know, I made this

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 3>like really subtle video like to let her know that

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 3>I like her.

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>And today it was bringing your girlfriend to work day.

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>So my new girlfriend Miya is in studio.

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Ah, welcome Mia. I was gonna say, like Mia, like

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>missing in action, but she's here now, not missing in action. Look,

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I've tried to get my boyfriend to come on this

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 2>pod for so long, like I'm talking about maybe a

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 2>year still hasn't happened, and so I mean it's a

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 2>hard launch one day in and fresh yeah, one day in.

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 3>I only asked me yesterday, which was quite cute. I

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 3>love this one day exclusive.

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 2>So I want to go back to the video because

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>you told me about this video when we finished the

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Apple Podcast and we were sitting there and we were debriefing,

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 2>and she was like, I did this video and I

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 2>was like.

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay, she says, it's subtle. It was like the least

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 4>subtle thing.

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it was subtle to like my general audience,

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 3>but like to me, it was not very subtle.

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>It was like this like silly video.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 3>It was like a message to Santa, being like, hey,

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 3>like still literally waiting for like my present, like I've

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 3>been waiting, And I honestly feel like I said this

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 3>to me.

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 2>How did you know it was for you? Though? Like

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I need to I need to understand the link between

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you creating something, putting it on your story and you

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 2>go she's speaking to me.

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 4>It's because literally thirty minutes before she had followed me

0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 4>on all platforms.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was pretty commented on my TikTok, liked my

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 5>TikTok videos, and then once I followed her back half

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 5>an hour later, there was this story that she put

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 5>up being like, yeah, hey, Sanna, I just wondering, like,

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 5>why has my present been delayed three years? I'm looking

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 5>for a five to four brunette with like brown eyes

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 5>or whatever.

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, and I called my best mate.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 4>I was like, is this play about us?

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like yeah.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I was like, I have to take the bait.

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I kind of got your height wrong though, because I

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 3>think I said five three five three yeah, yeah, I.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Mean, how are you supposed to?

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>In my heart, I just took.

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 3>A guess and you know, a leap of faith, so

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get it correct, but you know, I shot yeah,

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, fuck your six five blue eyes.

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Guy works in finance. I was like, this is what

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I want, like you know what I mean? Okay, that's

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty direct.

0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 3>And I thought it was like a bit more subtle

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 3>the general public again, like to my audience, like they

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 3>would be like, oh, yeah, this is just some queer

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 3>shit that Brooks posting like whatever, and not thinking that

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 3>it would be for anyone. And me knew and that

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 3>was good because then I didn't think she would get

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 3>it or like care enough to like get it so obvious,

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 3>but your response was like such gold. I was like, fuck, okay,

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 3>I cannot beat this in a sense. She comes back,

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 3>She's like, hey, Santa called something about a delayed present.

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 1>And then got me. I was like hooked. After that.

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, humor is like one of the most

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>attractive things and mirror.

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Did you reply that reply to the story? Okay?

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so that was my slide.

0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like it. That's a ballsy like line to

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>throw out. And then you just came back and you're like, yeah,

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I got it.

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>But can we talk about how.

0:17:58.600 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 4>State?

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, ooh, I would love to know the first

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.760
<v Speaker 2>day that didn't No, So did you know off Brooke?

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, but I didn't follow her, And to be fair,

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 5>like i'd seen the Bachelorette, but I hadn't seen really

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.680
<v Speaker 5>anything else. So like when we were talking, I think

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 5>we established that pretty quickly. But then she was like, oh,

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 5>I'm literally moving back to Melbourne in like two weeks,

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 5>and I was.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 4>Like, oh, that's annoying.

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, so I was like, okay, I need to

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 5>see her before she goes because I don't want it

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 5>to fizzle.

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 4>She had like nice spanter, but I was like, I

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 4>can't fizzle.

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 5>So I was trying to like lock her in, but

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 5>she was filming at the time, so she was like

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 5>super busy. Anyway, somehow, like I did, we planned this date.

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 5>So then like on the day comes and I said

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 5>to Brooke, I've organized.

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 4>Like, let's do a picnic. I was like, you've had

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 4>a big week. Let me take the reins, I'll organize it.

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 5>So I when I've got a freaking picnic basket. I

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 5>packed this like oh yeah, I packed this whole picnic.

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 5>And during the like at the start of the day,

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.359
<v Speaker 5>she was like, oh, can we do like three? And

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 5>I was like yeah, sick yeah, because she was literally

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 5>moving to the next day.

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 4>So we planned it the night before, which.

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 5>I kind of was like, oh, that's pushing it, but

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 5>I was like whatever, yeah yeah, And so yeah, she's

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 5>organized it for three and then she was like, I'm

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.879
<v Speaker 5>still packing. Can we push it back to six? And

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 5>I was like, yes, sweet six, we'll do a sunset thing.

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm here for it, yeah, because that's where.

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I was, Yeah, I'm betraying, like yeah, brangeroo reserve.

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 5>So then it gets to five thirty, A kid yeknot

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 5>and I'm still like she should have left by now,

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.919
<v Speaker 5>but I was like whatever, like fashion of eight.

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 4>But it's all good.

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 5>It gets like five thirty and I get I cot

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 5>this message being like super stressed. I'm not going to

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 5>make it like I'm really sorry, which it was a

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 5>genuine message. I'm not gonna lie like I did. I

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 5>was like I did could now she felt bad, but

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:05.960
<v Speaker 5>she's like anyway, She's like, I'm really sorry, but if

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 5>you ever find yourself in Melbourne, let me know otherwise

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 5>are you free in March?

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 1>This was December.

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>She's like, I book you for martigraph March.

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 4>I was like March.

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 5>My date went from three pm to six pm to March.

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 5>I was like that is that's fuel Like March, I'm like.

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Weight around too much.

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh god. I was like I was upset.

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 4>I was like damn it.

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 5>But I was like whatever out what is meant to

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.399
<v Speaker 5>be will be, and then we just kept in touch.

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.439
<v Speaker 3>Mind you like my thinking around it was that you know,

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 3>I potentially was going to move in Sydney. March was

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 3>like my locked in sort of like date. But now

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 3>things have sort of like changed a little bit with work,

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 3>which I kind of knew as well, but I knew

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.439
<v Speaker 3>i'd be back in Sydney at some point. So my

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 3>mentality was like, like I could have met up with you,

0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 3>like and I just think that I would have been

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 3>like a not a very good version of myself because

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 3>you saw my apartment, like I had to pack that

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 3>whole thing up. I was a bit stressed and then

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 3>drive like eight hours back to Melbourne.

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So like my I had the best idea. You should

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 2>have asked her to go on the drive with you.

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what you should have done.

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a huge U haul, that's a huge date.

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to know each other. E fucking perfect that

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 2>really liked each other by the end.

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 5>Or you would have been like now this way, like

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 5>I get to Melbourne and the like part ways to

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 5>find myself.

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Home.

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Now that actually road trip telling really fun. I would

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 4>actually love that.

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I did say this to me or later

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 3>like I'm glad that you know. Well. Our first day

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 3>ended up being on FaceTime, which I didn't want. Hey,

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 3>Like I was like no, no, like I was in

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 3>my in my mind, I was like no, no, I

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 3>want our first time to be like really present and

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.679
<v Speaker 3>I want to be in person, like I want her

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 3>to gauge that I'm in it, you know what I mean?

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, anyways, our first date was on FaceTime. It

0:21:59.920 --> 0:22:03.360
<v Speaker 3>was very cute, and then we just kept chatting from

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.120
<v Speaker 3>them and then I was like, Hey, having my birthday,

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 3>do you want to just come? And honestly, this is

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.879
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. If they want to, they will and

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not over.

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I could have she could have had that same response

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 2>to the day.

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I agree that.

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I was literally gonna say that, I don't doubt, like, yeah,

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 3>that's I was probably giving very flaky vibes, which was

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 3>the opposite of what I wanted to give you. It

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 3>was like like I wanted to let you know. But anyways,

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 3>she booked flights straight away and was like coming. I

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 3>was like, all right, great, do you want to come

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 3>to stay with me? Stayed with me, my friends, my family,

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 3>met my.

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Dad, baptism of fire. It was everyone in the room. Ye,

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 2>how great, though, Like that's that gives you such a

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 2>snapshot of Brooks world.

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:54.360
<v Speaker 4>It was, Yeah, that's honestly the best weekend.

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's a highlight of my twenty twenty five already.

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, riding that high.

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm still riding a guy, Like my birthday was just

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 3>so special, like beautiful. Yeah, I'm still remembering the words

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:10.360
<v Speaker 3>that you said dinner like it was so good. But yeah, anyways,

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 3>fast forward, it's honestly not been obviously that long in

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 3>terms of but when we calculated it in lesbian years,

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 3>but like, yeah, it's been a while.

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>She goes years.

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, we'll try to work out like how because

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 5>we spent four days with each other.

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 4>So she was like, okay, any dates would be in

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 4>how many dates would be that.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:28.959
<v Speaker 5>She's like, okay, so like a normal date goes like

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 5>five hours. We spent four days together and so we

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 5>like kind of did the math and she's like, so

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:34.360
<v Speaker 5>we've kind of been on like fifteen.

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Dates, like fifteenth dates.

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Why we married?

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fifteen dates. That's a lot lot. Yeah, but you

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 2>live in Sydney, yeah, and Brooks in Melbourne. I know,

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 2>so you it will take a little bit longer to

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, get to know each other in terms of

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.120
<v Speaker 2>like spacing out when you'll be together. And I think

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:53.719
<v Speaker 2>that might be a good thing, you know, for lesbians

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 2>and gays as well, trust me, Like gays are the same,

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, Yeah, I know that well, we're very quick,

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 2>like I am. I'm like, if I've dated someone for

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.680
<v Speaker 2>at least two months, then I would want to move

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 2>in with them. You know. I've been like that, So

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that I'm quick like that. I think a

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 2>lot of gay men are.

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 4>I've had a lot of game in like pay me

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 4>out for how oh really?

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean lesbians are quicker for sure, Like they're

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>like you know, one month.

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 4>We kept saying every time we FaceTime.

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 5>We FaceTime every night, but every time we'd FaceTime, we'd

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:27.199
<v Speaker 5>be like, we're not you hauling it.

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:28.959
<v Speaker 4>We're not you hauling it. We're not you hauling it?

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 2>What what do you all look like? If you did, I.

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 4>Would have someone would have moved already.

0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, it's difficult because like my whole house is

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 3>not that your house is not set up, but like

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 3>I've got other people to be responsible for as well

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 3>in a sense, so it'd be harder for me to

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 3>move to Sydney.

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>But I mean it would be a conversation.

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, but why do you go to Canberra.

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Halfway in Sydney and like, yeah, but anyways, are you

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 3>doing Marti gra together.

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>We haven't really even spoken about Mardi Gras.

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah cool.

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I only just asked me to be my girlfriend yesterday,

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 3>like officially, like both explicit, how did you do?

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 4>It's so cute.

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll let me take this. People are interested.

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 3>To be fair, I had already started saying, like my partner,

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 3>my girlfriend, like I sort of cut my ties, cleared

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.119
<v Speaker 3>the fucking roster. I was like, I'm all in, baby,

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:29.119
<v Speaker 3>Like I was like having these real, like cutthroat conversations

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 3>like goodbye, and so I literally did that in the

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:36.159
<v Speaker 3>first FaceTime.

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like a rat that was like I'm in

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a tizzy here.

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 2>A bit of a would take some time sometimes too,

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, well I just.

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Don't want one. I would never ever fucking want to

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>like yeah at all.

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And I also like, and that's I think that's a

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.760
<v Speaker 3>really good conversation to have. Like we were kind of

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 3>making up this random comedy skit where like someone like

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 3>really surprises you like and ask you out, and you're like,

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 3>you say yes, and then you're like in the.

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Like see you like.

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 2>That's great, but like it's funny.

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:08.119
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I was doing.

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Just to clarify, but it had been a you know,

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 3>an interesting process because I'm like a very friendly person

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 3>as well, and like I get a lot of messages

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like every time someone in a message, i'd

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 3>be like, hey, yeah, it would be great to hang

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:25.439
<v Speaker 3>but just letting you know, like I'm seeing someone and

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a relationship, like you know. And I started

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 3>already having those conversations. And then I actually hadn't asked

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 3>me yet. Okay, so I asked her yesterday and anyway,

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 3>you want to.

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Tell you how I asked so cute. I was at work.

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 5>And Brooke messaged me and said, hey, what time are

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 5>you going to be home. I'm going to go for

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:49.960
<v Speaker 5>a run. And I was like, I'll be home like

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:53.160
<v Speaker 5>half plast five and she's like, okay, sweet, plenty of time.

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 5>It's like amazing. Anyway, I get home and I opened

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 5>the door and she's like looking like a little doll.

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 4>I was like, okay, that's not giving. I just went

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 4>for a run. I was like, oh, I guess she didn't. Anyway.

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 5>I like she was all like giddy and like all sprightly,

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 5>and I was like hey, and just like behind her

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.920
<v Speaker 5>on my kitchen bench was like this huge bouquet of

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 5>flowers and a wine cupcakes and these three envelopes and

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 5>I know, so cute. And I was like, and to

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 5>be honest, I thought this was like a late Valentine's

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Day gift, yeah, because we didn't get to like spend

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 5>Valentine's Day together. So I was like, okay, perfect, like

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.439
<v Speaker 5>we're just we're just yeah, touching up.

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 4>So that was straight away what my mind went too.

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, oh, that's really sweet.

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 2>There wasn't an egg prank that was coming.

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 4>No, maybe that's later, but yeah.

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.479
<v Speaker 5>I walked up to the bench and there was like

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.920
<v Speaker 5>these cupcakes and it said that she had like iced

0:27:57.960 --> 0:27:59.639
<v Speaker 5>them and wrote in like icing.

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I thought, if I start off with something like really

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 3>pathetic and funny, yeah, she'll have no inkling onto what's

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 3>going to happen?

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:08.879
<v Speaker 5>And so the cupcakes said you're cute. I like you

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 5>a lot with a little love heart, and I was like,

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:12.880
<v Speaker 5>oh sweet.

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 5>And then there's three cards and it said option one,

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 5>Option two, Option three, and she's like okay, like we're

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.000

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 5>three options and you can choose where you want to go.

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 5>I was like, okay, cool, So I opened option one
