<v Speaker 3>dropped by yourself or Michael, Michael dropped the love bomb?

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Is are you normally the first say it? Or

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>is your partner normally.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm never the first to say it, even if I

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 3>feel it, I always wait because I just don't want

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 3>to get ahead of myself because I, as do you

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 3>go a bit headfirst into the deep end, and once

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I do feel it, I just wait for them to

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>say it.

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So what happens everyone's itching to know now?

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, basically, we went on a little picnic with two

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 3>of his friends. I met them, We had some cocktails,

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>we got a bit tipsy, and after the picnic we

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>walked home. The sun was setting all around us. It

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 3>was pretty romantic. Romantic, had a bit of a buzz

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 3>on from the apparol spritzers, and yeah, it was honestly

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 3>so pretty, we'll buy the lake. And he basically told

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>me he loved me, and I told him I loved

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>him too.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>That's really cute. That is a couple of goals.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 3>That is.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>But this isn't the first time he said the big

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>L word, is it.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's going to be happy to

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>throwing him under the bus like.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>This, sorry mate, but we're going to call you out

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>yourself to yourself. Brother.

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>God.

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think like four or five dates in he

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 3>said it a couple of times when he was quite drunk.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And then wait.

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Four or five dates, what does that transpire the timing wise, So.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>It was probably like two weeks.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 3>He said it a couple of times, like maybe three

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>or four times, and then all of a.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Sudden he stopped saying it. And I was like, oh, you.

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Know, they say when you know, you know, so maybe

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>he just knew when you know you know?

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean hopefully, but I mean I think it is

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 3>probably too early to say.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>At the two week monk, it was like a slip.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Of the tongue, you know, when you're really drunk and

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 3>you're like really vibing someone.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>And I did say it back though, to be fair,

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>but I just.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, look, I'm going to step off my high

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>horse and I'm going to say I can vibe with

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Michael on this one here.

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not surprised.

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>On the weekend, me and magical date girl, as if

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 2>we know whereas we're having apparolls oh low and common

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>denominator here.

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>If you have an apparol here might drop for elbow.

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually warned her the week before. I said, well,

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>we're planning on having a bit to drink here. I

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm probably going to say something stupid. I

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>know how I feel at the moment, but but we're drinking.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 2>All my roomies were sitting there. Then she started kissing me,

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and she was like, I really really like you, Like

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm so lucky to have you like this sort of stuff.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>And I was and I was like, I was like,

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I love you. Did not, oh my god,

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 2>did not did not get the out word back. I

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>can't remember exactly what happened, but I remember just fucking

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 2>backtracking that quickly. I was like, I really think that

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I could see myself loving you. Oh no, no, So

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 2>I just fool put myself in reverse.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>So you stepped in it, and then.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 2>You're just yeah, yeah, so I backpedled quite a bit.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>And to be honest, it hasn't been brought up since.

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 3>So you guys were drunk, you said it, and then

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 3>you work out the next day did mention it?

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Here's the rug? He is only just sweeping it under.

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I will leave that for another day.

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.799
<v Speaker 3>But now you're going to have to have this conversation

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 3>because he just told me and everyone else the story.

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, she's she's a die hard listener, so I'm sure

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 2>after this gets released we'll be having that chat.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>So were you unsweeping this under the rug right now? Oh?

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Shit?

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I should probably rethink about what I'm doing here.

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 3>You're probably going to have to have that conversation with

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 3>her and remind her of you you dropping the big album.

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And just say, look, it might have been a little

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>bit premature, but that's the only place some.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a clean podcast. You're dirty.

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.919
<v Speaker 2>But what the main thing I'm worried about is have

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I given her the ick by saying that? Is it

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>too soon? Is that what the ick is?

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Let's jump right into that. I'm ready to talk about

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 3>the IK.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Let's do that, all right, Let's dive in. All right, So,

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 2>first of all, Anna, what is the ick? The so

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>called dreaded eck?

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 3>So Matt's never heard about the ek, which is surprising

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 3>in itself, or hadn't heard of the ik before we

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 3>decided to do this episode.

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>But basically, what the ick is.

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Is when you feel instantly repulsed by someone. So you

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 3>might have got on a few dates, you might have

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 3>been on one date, You could be with them for seven, eight,

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 3>nine years, it could be a long term relationship. All

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden you get the ick and it's something

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 3>specific that they do that you get cringed out by.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 3>You get this very strong gut reaction. It can be

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 3>based on anything. It can be their mannerisms, the way

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 3>they blink, the way they breathe, the way they tie

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 3>their shoelace. It can literally be anything. So no one

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 3>is safe.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, So what you're trying to say is, never

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>get comfortable in a relationship.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Never get comfortable, Never get to be comfortable because you

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 3>don't know when the eck is around the corner.

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, like you said, I had never heard of the ick.

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I first heard of it on a TikTok someone said

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 2>something when they hit the eck, and I remember sending

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>it to you and I was like, what's this ick

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>people talk about? So I looked a little bit into it,

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, I don't think I've ever had the ick.

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so mainly girls get the ick most of the time.

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 3>It's a girl thing. So girls get the ick. But

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 3>as it's been spoken more and more about, guys have

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 3>been actually I do get the ick. I think I

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 3>might have got the ick here. They just maybe didn't

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 3>know the terminology as well as girls do for it.

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, most of the time girls will get the

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>ick over guys.

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, So you're telling me that the ick could

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>be from the way you laugh or tell a joke.

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Even Yep, it could be literally anything.

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>See, I think that I may have given some girls

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 2>the ick.

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you have.

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Math. I'm sure you have, because as we know, I

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>have a real dry off the cuff sense of humor,

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of girls I've noticed that I'm dating

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>or seeing really struggle with it.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Struggle with your sense of humor.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they don't. And I can tell that sometimes when

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I say my jokes off my calf, I can feel

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the energy shift in the room and I'm.

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Say your jokes just aren't landing very well.

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some people get it, some people don't. Yeah, so

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>some girls don't get it, and I mean I've noticed

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of them. A lot of girls have

0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 2>sometimes been like some of these things. I've said, how

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>long does it usually take to catch the ick?

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean there's normally five stages. So there's the

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 3>getting to know someone stage, there's dating them, whether that's

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 3>a first date or one hundred dates in. Then there's

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.559
<v Speaker 3>the realization stage, where you just have this gut intuitive

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 3>feeling that something's wrong and you get that intuition that

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 3>you're just a bit repulsed and turned off and a

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 3>bit grossed out by that person, and then they head

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 3>straight to the friends.

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Does that happen a lot in long term relationships?

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Know a few people in long term relationships who can

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 3>sometimes get the ick. And the problem with the ick

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 3>is it's so hard to shake off once.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>You get it.

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>So Anna, have you ever had the ick? Then?

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean it, to be honest, I reckon, pretty much

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.959
<v Speaker 3>every guy dated has ended up giving me the ick.

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 3>That's probably why it hasn't worked out. I reckon, you

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 3>just get the ick when subconsciously you know that it's

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 3>not right, but you haven't yet admitted it to yourself.

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 3>So deep down you know that it's not going to

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 3>work out with you and this person, and maybe you

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 3>were still seeing them or still going on dates with them,

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 3>and then intuitively your guts like stop wasting your time.

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Enough's enough, and you just get this sick feeling in

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 3>your stomach and it's just something that you can't look past,

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 3>and you're like, you know what, it's over. But yeah,

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 3>I definitely have lots of different stories about getting the ick. Recently,

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 3>I was dating this guy and we have been seeing

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 3>each other for about one and a half months.

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so decent time.

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, super attractive guy, super sweet, super lovely.

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 2>He's your type as well.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>He was my type. Like literally, there was nothing wrong

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>with him. He was amazing.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>But I think deep down on you that it just

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 3>wasn't gonna last, just like values wise, we were kind

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 3>of it was a bit off, and I remember I

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 3>remember I was thinking about ending it, but I hadn't

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 3>quite done it yet. And I remember I woke up

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 3>in the morning.

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>He was at my apartment and he had a cold,

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>which is fine, and he started.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 3>I sound like a huge bitch right now, But honestly,

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 3>you can't help getting the ick, like you can't help

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 3>it anyway. He obviously was probably not feeling that great.

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 3>He started blowing his nose so loudly. When I say

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 3>so loudly, like I can still hear this nose blowing,

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 3>like it cringes me out.

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just like, oh, yuck. And in that moment,

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I knew that I had the ick.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 3>And after that we stopped seeing each other straight away

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 3>or did you keep seeing him straight away like I

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 3>the moment I got the ick and that gut feeling,

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 3>I was just like it's done, Like I can't even

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 3>keep going anymore, like I tried, it's.

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Not gonna work out.

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 3>But just to show you that I'm not actually a

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 3>bad and mean person. If Michael was to blow his

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 3>nose my boyfriend it honestly like I couldn't care less,

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 3>like I don't even hear it. But yeah, just when

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't right with someone, and I knew that deep down,

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I was just totally turned off.

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 2>So after you're telling these stories and I was spoken

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 2>about the ick, I actually think that I may have

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>got it. Really, So I was dating this girl, and

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 2>she was a couple of years younger, okay, And we

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 2>were laying bed until we started chatting and she started

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 2>telling me a story from like school, and I was

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>like fuck, and I realized she was she was like

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, but I realized how young she actually was.

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 3>So it made you feel a lot older because she

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 3>was telling you school story.

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I was like, I was twenty five, So

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I was like school for me was like like what

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>eight years ago. I was just sitting there and I

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, like, maybe you're a lot younger and

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot more immature than I thought you were, do

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? So is that sort of

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>the ick? I don't know.

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I think so like if you genuinely feel a bit

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 3>like you just deep down in your gut, no that

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 3>it's not right. So if that's a feeling you got,

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 3>then yeah, maybe you got the ick if this is the.

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Girl that I'm thinking about. Though, didn't she ghost you?

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Ye?

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Nah she did, We're honest here on this podcast. Yeah

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>she did. But maybe she got the ick from me

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>something I did.

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she was like this guy's a dinosaur. This doesn't

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 3>even remember the school days.

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm out hat you never, okay, Matt.

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 3>So we asked our as your head out listeners on

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Instagram what gave them the ig, and honestly, the things

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.959
<v Speaker 3>that people came back with were so funny.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>A couple in particular. But we're gonna start.

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I caught a couple of them and I was like, Oh,

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>some of these would have even given me the same.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like, actually, now that I think about it,

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 3>that probably would give me the egg.

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 3>So the first one is boys eating pasta and having

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 3>sauce over their mouth after the reason why I chose

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 3>this one, Matt, is because every time I'm with Matt

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 3>and we're having lunch or dinner or whatever, Matt has

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 3>crumbs everywhere. So I thought this one was quite funny

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 3>to start with.

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I really hope my mum isn't listening. The one thing

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I promise her is that I'll have good table managed

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>when I'm out, but she's disappointed.

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay. The second one we have is bad breath.

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 3>I think that overall, like, I think that gives everyone.

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>The eat right.

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sometimes you give people benefit of the doubts.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Open up bit of morning breath.

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel personally victimized.

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I feel bad because I feel like this one's

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 3>very relatable to you as well. But said he loved

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 3>me after two weeks.

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>That's not one I won.

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't that you? Wasn't that your boyfriend as well? Didn't

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you get the ick?

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 3>No? I didn't get the ick, But lucky for him,

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 3>I was pretty into him, So I mean.

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I haven't scared her away yet outside of that.

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough.

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this one is we were only talking for forty

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 3>eight hours and he sent me eleven eleven with nothing

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 3>else written at the time.

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Tell everyone the story.

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 3>What didn't you used to like send people eleven eleven,

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 3>but you'd make an alarm clock for it, so you

0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 3>knew when to.

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, my ex was pretty into the eleven eleven things.

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:09.440
<v Speaker 3>So so basically what Matt would do, he'd set like

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 3>a eleven ten alarm on its phone.

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Not all the time, I do it occasionally, and then

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'd always send eleven eleven. Make a wish it's meant

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to be.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I saw it again.

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Cringe.

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 3>The next one is he told me he only puts

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 3>deodran on if he's leaving the house, not after every shower.

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Come on, mate, lift your game. Right, you got to

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>put on every time. It gives me the ick.

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, when a guy sits on a chair with his

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 3>legs crossed, do you do that.

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 2>My leg uncross my legs.

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Matt's really getting victimized. Yeah, maybe maybe maybe you give

0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>people the dick more people than life.

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 3>No, No, okay, I saw how many nose hairs he

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 3>had and couldn't do it anymore.

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, groom yourself. Brother, I feel bad.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Like that's kind of out of your control.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some blokes don't think about that.

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Like get him a nose hair trimmer for Christmas or

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>his birthday.

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Towards it.

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I feel like that can be.

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 2>That's somebody that summed up to bag grooming though, like

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>he should probably groom himself a bit better.

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.679
<v Speaker 1>That's a ten out of ten groom I should know.

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know. I keep myself well groomed. So that

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 2>one wasn't directed at me obviously.

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this one I thought was really funny.

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 3>He had really small hands, so when his hand was

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 3>on my thigh, it felt.

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Like a child.

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's really like grow Yeah, that is that'd

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>give me the.

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah thinking about it.

0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, there's two left I did save the best to last.

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Am I getting victimized again? Or are these well?

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Actually, yes you are, because it's.

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe I should go over these now and not

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 2>leave it to Anna.

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:15.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay, second last one, it's from the Magical Date Girl.

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:19.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh bullshit, the girl that Matt's seeing get excited. She

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 3>has told everyone something that gives her the ick, specifically

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 3>about that.

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Why she done me dirty? Like this, and it goes

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 2>a little something like this, I don't want to hear it.

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>When he talks about Star Wars.

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Nah, all right, so I know exactly what she's talking about.

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>The other day, she has never seen Star Wars. So

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I pulled up Star Wars episodes on my TV and

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I had her in bed, and I was going through

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and like she was at school, and I was explaining

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the plotline of each one and how they were made

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 2>and what order, and like who the main characters were

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.400
<v Speaker 2>in each one, and like what's what? And now you're

0:18:59.440 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 2>getting the.

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Ick you have hearing about it?

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I had to. I wanted to give her the

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 2>background before we started on because you'd never seen him.

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you wanted to get her up today because you're

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 3>a Star Wars fanatic In case anyone didn't know that

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 3>about Matt.

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 2>And I keep alluding to my taking her back to

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 2>my teenage room that I grew up in my mum's

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 2>and how I've got Star Wars memorabilia everywhere. So I'm

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 2>going to hold off on that.

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>As a friend. Matt.

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 3>If there's one piece of advice I want to give

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 3>you is do not show her the Star Wars memorabilia.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.199
<v Speaker 2>A huge Empire Strikes Back poster above my bed, my

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 2>limited edition.

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It could go very bad. Okay.

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:45.959
<v Speaker 3>And the final one is this isn't related to you.

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.199
<v Speaker 3>This is just I thought personally, this was like like

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.719
<v Speaker 3>the VIP comment, basically the MVP comment.

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, he sent me a.

0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Video in the mirror slinging his sick around randomly.

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I was mortified.

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I have never done that, nor sent an unsolicited dick pic.

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 2>So that's not directed at me.

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not directed.

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 2>What happens if you'd got that video, then I.

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Would probably like block. It's an instantaneous block from from.

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>A random guy. Yeah, obviously from a guy you're seeing.

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>What about if your boyfriend sent you on?

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just a bit odd, isn't it.

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Why?

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Why is there like a dick sling video. It's just

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a bit wild, and it's probably preferred that I don't

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 1>get one.

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening, Yeah, or any guys, if you're out

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 2>there listening, probably don't do any of this stuff and

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 2>take some tips for you, all right, So that's all

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 2>we have time for on though, what gives you the

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:49.479
<v Speaker 2>ick segment?

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the reason why some people might get the

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 3>IG is because we go on a first day and

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 3>we have this expectation of the person that we're going

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 3>at a first date with. We look on their social media,

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 3>we paint this unrealistic picture of.

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Who they are.

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 3>We put them on a pedestal, and sometimes we're let

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 3>down when that person doesn't match up to the person

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 3>that we've created in our own mind. So we have

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 3>to be really mindful to go on a first date

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 3>with someone or go into relationships with people and just

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 3>be open and see them for what they are and

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 3>not create this big image of what you think they

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 3>should be.

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I completely agree, Anna, But in the end, it

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 2>is good, though, to accept that gut feeling you have

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:40.919
<v Speaker 2>and accept it and move on.

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, although we're talking a lot about us getting

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 3>the ink and kind of making fun of the fact

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.239
<v Speaker 3>that we've got the eck over people. We want to

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 3>make sure that we're really clear on this that if

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 3>you give someone the ick, it doesn't mean that you've

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 3>done anything wrong. It's part of dating, and dating can

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 3>be really challenging and really hard.

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 2>And we don't want to scare you away from it.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 3>So we don't want to scare you away from dating.

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 3>So let's jump into our top tips on how to

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:18.239
<v Speaker 3>survive rejection. Strong feelings of rejection can happen because your

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 3>brain is wired to see all experiences as either acceptance

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 3>or rejection instead of just regular occurrences that happen.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 1>So when someone.

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Gets the ick from you, you can take it really

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.879
<v Speaker 3>strongly on board, and you can feel like it's a

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 3>huge rejection. And as we've experienced, dating is all about rejection,

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 3>and every time you get past that next rejection and

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 3>keep moving forward, you're one step closer to finding that

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.400
<v Speaker 3>person that you're potentially going to spend forever with.

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 2>All Right, So I have some tips for facing rejection.

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've had my fair share of rejection.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Believe it or not, Anna, I know you can't believe.

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm still gobsmacked. But this is the main one.

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Remember that it happens to everyone. Yeah, it never feels

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 2>good to be rejected, but everyone, no matter who they are,

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 2>has been rejected in their life.

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean I have you have.

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 3>You're never going to be everyone's cup of tea, right exactly,

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 3>You're never going to be And you've got to accept

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 3>that because someone might not see you for what you are.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.680
<v Speaker 2>But trust me, there is someone out there that does.

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>And once that door closes with that one person that's

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 2>rejected you, it's going to open for someone that will

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:35.640
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you for who you are.

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I mean, look, I've sometimes after being rejected,

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 3>gotten a bit bogged down in the feeling of not

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 3>being wanted.

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>But the moment you.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Put yourself back out there, you honestly forget about it.

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 2>You move on, jump back on that dating horse, download

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.680
<v Speaker 2>those dating apps that's great for your ego, swipe ride

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, and just.

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Just and just kept talking to other people, and you know,

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:02.959
<v Speaker 3>realize that that person who rejected you is not the

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 3>only fish in the sea. There's plenty more salmon's out there.

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 3>And I think also something that's really helped me after

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 3>rejection is positive affirmation.

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Matt. So we joked briefly before about the fact.

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 3>That you had been ghosted. Obviously, I know that that

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 3>would have hurt you. Tell us how that felt.

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.239
<v Speaker 2>So it obviously felt like shit. But I think it

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 2>more bruised my ego than anything, because I remember one

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of the last messages was inviting them on a date

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and I just didn't get a reply. Yeah, And I

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 2>was sort of like, oh, I was like I didn't

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 2>see this happening, like you know what I mean. I

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.360
<v Speaker 2>was like, I did not see it going this way. Yeah.

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 2>So I really hurt my ego and I was like

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 2>what am I? Like, what did I do wrong? But

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get too hung up on it. I mean,

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like it was a serious thing. It was

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 2>just a couple of dates hanging out here and there.

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.440
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't let it affect me in that thing.

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I compartmentalized and realized what it was.

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, soap it for what it was.

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I didn't blame myself for anything. I was like,

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 2>it's probably a you problem, not a meat problem.

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>And I got back on that dating horse for sale.

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Was there a bit of negative self talk after it

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:09.480
<v Speaker 3>like I'm not good enough?

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't she want me?

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>No, and my mates laugh about this actually because every

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>time it comes off, they say the more and more that,

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 2>the more and more I bring it up, it was

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:23.719
<v Speaker 2>more my decision and not hers.

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So you've changed the narrative in your own head.

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in my own head. I remember. My best mate

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 2>was like, the more and more you tell this story,

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 2>it was more your decision, not hers.

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 3>When you told this story before you actually said that

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 3>she gave you the ick, And then I was like,

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 3>hold on a second, didn't she goes to you?

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? You see even there, I've done that. So that's

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.359
<v Speaker 2>my way of coping with it. So I don't know,

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't really suggest that way of proping with things,

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>but it definitely worked for me.

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, guys.

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 3>On next week's episode, we are asking the big question,

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 3>can girls and guys actually just be friends?

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Well? I remember that my ex hot who.

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's save it for the next episode. Now we've

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of dead on this one.

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 3>Alright, Let's see you next time, guys.

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Bye,
