6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: the lovely Mercedes on our episode today.

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: She's such a little ball of fun and energy Parker.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 3: But the reason we bought Mercedes on is we've actually

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: come across a TikTok she's done.

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: Recently.

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: It's blown up talking about this story of how she

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 3: got scammed.

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: A bit of a Tinder swindler from a guy.

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: She met on a dating app, and recently a lot

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: more people have come out with very similar stories relating

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: to this guy. So we kind of just wanted her

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: to explain the story. We thought it was interesting.

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: She messaged me and was like, girl, I've got a

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: story for you. I need to tell the podcast.

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Yes, so we thought may as well.

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: If it can give any sort of warning to girls

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: and guys out there.

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: We thought you find it interesting regardless. Anyways, it's a

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: great little story.

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 2: Strap in for a little drive, get yourself a snack,

26

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: All right, Mercedes are welcome to just for girls. I

29
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 3: think this episode's very much for the ladies for the girls.

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is definitely a galie episode.

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: Obviously, Mercedes had a viral TikTok about like a little

32
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: put a finger down and then so much is unfolded

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: since that. So she messaged me the other day and

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: she was like, a girl, I have a fucking story

35

Speaker 3: Obviously we're on it, we're not celebrities, but like that's

76
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: where they would be dating if they were going. Yeah me,

77
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: And it's like you only get to swipe like fifteen

78
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: people every like twelve hours, Like it always says we're

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640

80
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: fifteen people every twelve hours. So yeah, it's like hectic,

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: waste of money, but super interesting.

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: And every time I pause my account, I end up

85
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: So you match with this guy or Raya? Yes, so

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: let's get everything up there.

87
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

88
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Please, I made a folder. I made a freaking folder,

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: I think. Well no, okay, starting up. So we match

90
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: on Raya. He's an NBA one player, which we've kind

91
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: of classified. Isn't like the NBA of Australia, so you

92
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: know how there was like AFL VFL. It's like essentially

93
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: the VFL of the NBA. So yeah, we match on Raya,

94
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: and I think literally in the first of the second message,

95
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: he says to me, I'm coming to Melbourne on July sixth.

96
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Let's go out for dinner, and a lot of the

97
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: rare matches, you know, they're like international, we never really

98
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: get any Australians. So I was kind of like, oh,

99
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: he's in Australia, he's coming to Melbourne, why not let's chat.

100
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: And so we start chatting. We really kick it off,

101
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's a little bit not embarrassing,

102
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: but I'm like, I got feelings for this man. I

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: think that's what a lot of people don't understand.

104
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: You.

105
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing it for a man that I just met.

106
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: I genuinely was under the impression that this man was

107
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: going to be my boyfriend, Like I was so interested

108
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: in him the entire time. I think that's like more

109
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: backstory to it as well, Like you were chatting all

110
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: the time, like yeah, you.

111
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: Had formed a connection, like you were just doing it

112
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: off or whim like you actually thought he was being genuine.

113
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I was like this, this one's gonna be my boyfriend. Yeah,

114
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: we're planning things together and so end up giving each

115
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: other our numbers or whatever, and so from that day

116
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: I called it. I was like, this is a never

117
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: ending conversation, like it never stopped and then eventually starts

118
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: getting me on FaceTime, so we start face having they

119
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: talked about literally four hours most nights, four fucking counts. Yeah,

120
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: and then it's like we're getting like you know, yeah,

121
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: like we're knowing each other. Like yeah, Because I would

122
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: say to people too, I was like, oh my god,

123
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: like I can't believe I haven't met him yet. And

124
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: they would even pull me up and they be like,

125
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: but you know him, like you've talked to him and

126
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: face him. So I was being maybe a little bit

127
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: delusion at the start, being like I hadn't met him,

128
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: and everyone else was like, but you have talked about

129
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: him a lot to a lot of people would be

130
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: on the phone sometimes at work, other people at work

131
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: would talk to him like he was he was a

132
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: big part of my life for the period. It wasn't

133
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: like a catfish that like never actually got on the

134
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: phone with you, you know. Yeah.

135
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: That's the thing is like now with the technology and

136
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: like the accessibility that we have, like if it's not

137
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: base to face, like you can form connections over the phone,

138
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: like yeah, if you're calling someone and seeing their face

139
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: on FaceTime every day, like you can establish that connection

140
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: so quickly.

141
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we did. And then so it gets

142
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: to I think the six is a Saturday. It gets

143
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: to the Friday and he's got a big game. I

144
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: would so embarrassing. No, let's come on, embarrassment out the window.

145
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: I would watch his games like I would get my

146
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: little bacbook up.

147
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: That's cute, though, if you like someone, I get completely why.

148
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: You're doing that. Yeah, No, the thing I don't know,

149
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily leavel myself as like a lovely girl,

150
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: but like I don't talk to multiple men at once either. Yeah,

151
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, it's not necessarily that I'm being exclusive

152
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: to that person. But I'm like, there's no point in

153
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: getting to know multiple fifteen people because I'm not giving

154
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: this one person the chance. And I think when you

155
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: genuinely like someone, I think I did a couple of times,

156
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: you get excited for what it could be. So it's like,

157
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: why do I don't want to talk to Yeah, I

158
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: don't want to jeopardize it. I don't want to do anything.

159
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: And even a couple of times people would like try

160
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: to talk to me and I might have sent one

161
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: or two messages back, and I was like you know what,

162
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: the energy isn't there the same, Like it doesn't feel right.

163
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: So he had this big game they were going into.

164
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: They just did their finals, so this was like maybe

165
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: one of the games before the Semis. And he starts

166
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: saying to me, book me flights and I'll come. So

167
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: he's kind of dropped the bomb that he hasn't actually

168
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: booked any flights. And I'd already made a dinner reservation

169
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: at do you know Atria, no beautiful restaurant, big cancelation

170
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: fees too, which would have gone anyway with one of

171
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: the girls. Should have just done that. But I was like,

172
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: dinners already booked. We've built, you know, for like a month,

173
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: this connection like people did July six. Yeah, I was ready.

174
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: I've done everything out ten I'd prepped. And then he's

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: kind of like, okay, like book me flights and I'll come.

176
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Who has booked me a fucking flight? And so I'm

177
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: like I say, I'm like, that's basically making me a

178
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: middleman for no reason. You just have to do it.

179
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm still at the courts. I'll send

180
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: you a photo of my card, and he's like, do

181
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: I do it? I'd be on the plane in five hours.

182
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit like I'll and then I'm like,

183
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: I'll happily do it, because he said he's gonna send me,

184
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: like I'll book want to get a book it with

185
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: his card? Yeah, essentially, but I never I never get

186
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the card details, and he sends so silly in the moment,

187
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: silly in the moment. He sends me the flights he wants.

188
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: So I was like, you could have sent me a

189
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: card when you went looking for all those fucking flights.

190
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: You could have just booked it. Yeah. Yeah, And he's like,

191
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: can you book me both of these? Because you had

192
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: to do like from where he lives to a state

193
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: the state airport and then to Melbourne from there. So baddie,

194
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: my bank account was suffering anyway, and he's like, can

195
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: you book me both of these? Send me your bank details.

196
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm about to have to media, so I'll chat after

197
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: the conference, like talk soon whatever. Essentially as well, like

198
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: I explained the TikTok, I kind of came to the

199
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: conclusion to him like if I'm booking this, he's probably

200
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: gonna pay for dinner. He has booked accommodation, he's gonna

201
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: have to get flights back. I was truly invested in

202
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: this man. So some girls maybe wouldn't do it, but

203
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: I was a little bit like, you know.

204
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: What, I'll just get Why would you ever assume they

205
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 3: wouldn't pay you back?

206
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.

207
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: I would do it too, because I'd be like, of

208
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: course they're gonna pay yeah.

209
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. And that was the complete impression, like he'd sent

210
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: flowers to my workplace. He was doing all the tips

211
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: and tricks. He was love bumming me. Now I know

212
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: in the moment though I loved it. I felt yeah,

213
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: he was saying I love you. We were saying I

214
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: love you. That's okay, I know the window. So he

215
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: gets on the flight and I go to pick a

216
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: mark and same thing. Like I said in my video,

217
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, wasn't undwembed wasn't overwhelmed. It was literally like

218
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: exactly as I pictured him, everything to a t. But

219
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: isn't that a bit of a red flag?

220
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: Like you finally seen this guy in person, you should

221
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: be like, oh my fucking girl, we're finally meeting.

222
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: And I wasn't. I wasn't. I was like, how might

223
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: I getting Yeah, I think it was mutual, which now

224
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, obviously, hindsight's a beautiful thing. When I reflect,

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm like him internally, knowing that he was about to

226
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: do and was doing everything he was gonna do like

227
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: he had done so many times before. That's probably why

228
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: the energy was like altered, because it was you, I'm

229
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: about to screw you over. Yeah, so psychotic. We were

230
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: both like a little bit. Energy was high. Like so

231
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: we're talking a little bit, and we ended up just

232
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: driving to Chadstone, going got some food, like spend some

233
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: time together. And then I say to him, I'm like, okay,

234
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: at dinner obviously it was at Atria that night, very

235
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: nice restaurant. I still had to like get a couple

236
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: of things or anything through my hair whatever, and so

237
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like to him, I'll drop you off, go check in.

238
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: He was a little bit hungover, he'd been out the

239
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: night before, so I was like, go do your thing.

240
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: You know, you're just flown to Melbourne to settle in.

241
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: And then I get a text. Oh god, everytime said

242
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I get a text, I'm like, what, I'm out doing

243
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: my thing and I start getting these like this text

244
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: that his accounts have all been locked. He's sending me

245
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: screenshots of the texts you get allegedly, I don't know,

246
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: my accounts have never been locked, but it says like

247
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: please call X immediately, like all of your accounts have

248
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: been whatever.

249
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: So he would have drafted them because I had an

250
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: issue with one of my bank accounts with NAB and

251
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: I was getting scammed. I fucked up, but like lots

252
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: of money was being taken out of my account and

253
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: they never once texted me, because that's how you can

254
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: then get the scam. They called me and they were like,

255
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: do not reply to any text. If you've gotten any text,

256
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: it's not NAB. We don't send texts. We only send

257
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: verification codes. So if you ever get a text from

258
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: the bank, most likely it's a scam. Like you don't

259
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: get text from christ from banks anymore.

260
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's showing me that, and obviously, as he said,

261
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: I'd never had my accounts locked. So I'm like going

262
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: along with what we said too, because I really liked

263
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: this man, and this is like a character thing, I

264
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: think for anyone that knows me. If his to Melbourne

265
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: and then his accounts have been locked, which I wholeheartedly

266
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: believed that. In the moment you feel bad, I'm like yeah.

267
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I am not gonna turn this into a

268
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: terrible weekend because I'm too Dutch with my money because

269
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend his cent, and then it's

270
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna make the vibe go really bad when the ViBe's been.

271
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: So at this point. Yeah, once again, you have no

272
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: reason not to believe him. This guy's going yeah, and I.

273
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Don't like things, not Like I walk into a room

274
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: if it feels anxious, I don't feel that. I'm like,

275
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make it feel better. And so in

276
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: that situation, I'm like, Okay, he's come here, he's got

277
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: no money. I feel bad, Like you know, it's fine,

278
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: and he's assuring me for everything. He's like, I'm gonna

279
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: pay back, keeps asking for my account details everything like that,

280
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: and so I've obviously paid for his flight. Here, he's here,

281
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: he's checked in, and then I get attacked or he's

282
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: talking to me, is like, I'm trying to get it

283
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: all sorted. I'll chat to you when you get home.

284
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: I just got off the phone with them, and I

285
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: should be getting a callback before eight, And then I

286
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: had replied for a little bit. He texts again. He says, hey,

287
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: do you want to transfer money to me from my

288
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: other bank for the accommodation? Well, I don't want to,

289
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: but and then once my shit is fixed, I'll fix

290
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: you up for flights and accommodation and everything else you've spent.

291
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: If you can't, Mum will but no, rush like take

292
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: your time xx. And he's just going back and.

293
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: Forth to reassuming to be like, hey, do you want

294
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: to transform me?

295
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: Straight away, I would call my mom being like Mum, like,

296
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: I need five grand I'll pay you back back.

297
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm in a sicky situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I

298
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: get that text and instantly I feel uncomfortable and like

299
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: live nos as well. I'm not like that with my

300
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: money either. I think that's why it was so crazy

301
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: to me, because I'm like, I'm the last person that's

302
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: spending money on people like this, and I'm like, I'm

303
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: getting taken for a little bit of a ride here.

304
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: So I sit back and I'm like okay, and I

305
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: make the boundary with him myself. I'm like, I don't

306
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: feel comfortable transferring him any money, and yeah, I don't

307
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: know what he's doing. He didn't even go into the hotel.

308
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: He was at like a pub having feers. So I'm

309
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: a little bit like, I'm not transferring. I'm not transferring

310
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: you any money. And I make the decision in my head.

311
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, if I'm gonna pay for the accommodation,

312
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'll do it in person, like he can

313
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: stand there and watch me tap my card and be

314
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: in front of all the what are they called, like

315
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: the connoisse so like you can stand there and so

316
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: so fair though, I'll do the money directly to the hotel. Yeah,

317
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: you can sleep in my couch. Yeah, But maybe she

318
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: didn't want him.

319
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: Man.

320
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: No, And I think obviously, like with the backstory and

321
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: everything to do and having my own space that's something,

322
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: and like live and when we live together to I'm

323
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: so protective of who I let in your place, yeah,

324
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: and anywhere near me, And it takes a lot to

325
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: get there. And I think it was Honestly, it felt

326
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: better for me paying for it than saying, hey, it's okay.

327
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: Just comes down, especially assuming that they were going to

328
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: pay you back. I would have rather than have.

329
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: This guy yeah yeah yeah, And we've only just met too,

330
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I think it's it's better to kind

331
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: of conduct the first, meaning everything like that in a

332
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: foreign space, not having you in my space. Yeah, so

333
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: we pay all as well, we check in, we both

334
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: get ready for dinner together. He came back with wine.

335
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of things in my head

336
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: because I'm like, okay, but how did you buy wine?

337
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: How are you paying for And I'm like, I'm not

338
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: really understanding, but I think my delusional, oblivious brain was like, again,

339
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: love glasses. Maybe he has cash? Yeah, yeah, change, So

340
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: I just like, I just try not to diep too

341
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: much into it and like whatever. So then we go

342
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: to dinner. Dinner's really good, and so I think that's

343
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: another part of the story. Obviously I'm telling all of

344
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: the red flags that I now see in hindsight, But

345
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: the time that we spent together was really good. That's

346
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: why it's been so mentally like I'm like, I had

347
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: feelings for you, We had so much like quality time together,

348
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: really enjoyed the quality time. So this is obviously all

349
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: the bad, but there was, you know, there was definitely

350
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: stuff there, I thought. So anyway, we go to dinner,

351
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: and I do remember now over dinner too, you guys

352
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: don't want to slap me. He maybe had accidentally tapped

353
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: into his west Pack or whatever, and I did see

354
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: it unlocked. And I don't know if you guys with Westpac,

355
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: but if you have like a couple of different accounts,

356
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: it shows you. And right it was just a zero

357
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: zero Oh no, oh no.

358
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: And to be completely honestly here, girls, it's not like

359
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: you could say something so like you can be like, oh,

360
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: fuck mate, like I saw your account and you've got

361
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: no money.

362
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't say that. Yeah, oh my god. I

363
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: would not know what to do. So he kind of

364
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: just like swipes out of it. And then I think

365
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: he went to go back into it and be like,

366
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: must have not successfully logged in or whatever, and he's like, see,

367
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: like I can't log in, I can't log in, but

368
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: I vividly remember seeing zero zero and it had zero

369
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: zero zero, And I'm but he obviously had. I think

370
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: I n g's the other bank, which I don't know

371
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: anything else bank. I had two banks whatever, Yeah, and

372
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: allegedly they're both locked. But the Westpac opened up and

373
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: there was nothing in it anyway, Oh my god. Just

374
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: don't go to Melbourne. How about that? Yeah? How about

375
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: you just stay at home for the weekend. Buddy, Yeah,

376
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: get some self control, like or come up with an excuse.

377
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: That was again another comprehension thing, and like how have

378
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: you done all this? And why why have you done

379
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: all this?

380
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: Like it's so embarrassing to me when like if you

381
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: have to ask someone for like money for something, oh,

382
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: like fuck, I do have the money, but it's like

383
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 3: it's to do that again and again and again for

384
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: large sums of money.

385
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: And it's taboo. I think on the opposite end of it,

386
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: being like which we'll get into this, but like asking

387
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: for my money back because I'm like, it's awkward to

388
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: put me in a position. I'm like an mpath, I'm

389
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: kind person and I was put in it like I.

390
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: Don't want that money, but like bringing up that conversation

391
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: is really awkward.

392
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody likes to talk about their fine. No, no, no,

393
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: And so we finished Saturday night. Up, we go back

394
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: to hotel. Obviously all as well. Life is good. He

395
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: had said to me as well that when he was

396
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: in Melbourne he needed to do a meeting with either

397
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: Collingwood or Richmond because they take on a like first

398
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: year rookie drafty who has never played AFL before and

399
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: that's a spot. Yeah, that's true. So he's explaining to

400
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: me about this. They take a random guys.

401
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: They take on, like, for example, there's a guy called

402
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure his name is Big Root, and he

403
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: is like, he's super tall, he's got an athletic build,

404
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: and they kind of take them on and train them

405
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: up in hopefully one day that they will be an

406
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: AFL player.

407
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: And then they kind of like, there's like an amazing story.

408
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: So they kind of all like they kind of sponsor

409
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: him to make them.

410
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: Then that's crazy that they would just pick some guy

411
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: that already likes and knows how to.

412
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: Play technically, they don't be they're not paid. It's kind

413
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: of like they can go train in the AFL and

414
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: trained to be this person, but that you're not being

415
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: paid like an AFL player until you actually make the

416
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: until you say, until you make the team, like it

417
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: doesn't anything like yeah.

418
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: So he said that he was one of those Yeah,

419
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: that can't be true. So he explains to just keep

420
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: that in the back of your pretty little heads. He

421
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: explains that to me and that he's got to go

422
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: do this with those two teams specifically as well. And

423
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: so we get up the flights.

424
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, A has a lot of money, they should pay

425
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: for fo flights if they was sweetie.

426
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you anyone trying to feel that spot, I will

427
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: buy your flight. So he explains that to me, and

428
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: he sort of bought it up at dinner, but it

429
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: was the first I was hearing of it. And then

430
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: so we wake up Sunday morning now and then he

431
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: explains that he's going to go do that. But there's

432
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: no real like meeting locked in. It's kind of just like,

433
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go see them, meet them, get

434
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: coffee or whatever on a Sunday on a Sunday.

435
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's not happening week Monday to Friday. That's

436
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: when they business ow rub.

437
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: So we spend a little bit. So we go get breakfast,

438
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: and you had paid for all of this. Yeah, my

439
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: car tapped out. Tap get locked for fraud because normally, Yeah,

440
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: we go, we go get breakfast, do our thing, and

441
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: then I drop him back off and I remember Woman's

442
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: sixth sense. I remember driving away, and I just had

443
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: this horrible feeling, almost to the point where I was like,

444
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: he's not gonna want to see me again, which was

445
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: silly because everything was so good and we'd had such

446
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: good time together. But my gut intuition, which I usually

447
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: trust with my life, silly. It was just I had

448
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: this terrible feeling driving away, to the point where I

449
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: nearly like could could have cried. I was not feeling good.

450
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: I had like this pit in my stomach. And so

451
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: I leave and then I think I like waited for

452
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: him to text me or whatever. I'm asking how this

453
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: meeting went. You know, we're saying it's chill, it's good,

454
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: it's calm, it's whatever. And so I'm back home. I

455
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: think I went to the gym, did my thing, and

456
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: then we hadn't booked anything for dinner that night, and

457
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: I kind of made the executive decision. I'm like, let's

458
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: let's just go take out and just enjoy each other's company.

459
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Like I'll just buy a takeout for us so I

460
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: can outing forward another. So I get in my car,

461
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: I go pick up the takeaway, and I go back

462
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: to hotel. Go see same thing. Everything's fine. We play

463
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: fucking I love it, literally like hours, probably like six hours,

464
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: same thing. Have Yeah, we're up late playing. You have

465
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: a couple of bottles of red, Like I won. We

466
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: remained undefeated. Anyway, we do that same thing, go to bed,

467
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: enjoy each other's company. Everything's well, and then I had

468
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: to shoot the Monday morning, so I had to leave

469
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: kind of elis. It was back in like my way.

470
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: We were obviously in the city, and so I leave

471
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: and then I kind of mentally like noted to myself too,

472
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, I am not getting this man's flight back. Yeah, no,

473
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: one step too. You're thinking like that, Yeah, where I

474
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: draw the line. He in his own I made like

475
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: a mental boundary. I'm like Mercedes, like, I'm talking to

476
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: myself and I'm like, like, don't you dare book his

477
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: flight back? Like after everything, let's just remain having that

478
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: one little bit of self respect. Let's not do it.

479
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: And so I go to my gym. Shoot, I put

480
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: my phone away. I'm like, I'm not texting him. He

481
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: couldn't tell me when his flight back was because I

482
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: was kind of acting like I thought he'd already booked yet.

483
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: And then I'm doing my thing. I ended, I got

484
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: lunch with the photographer, so I'm like away for a while.

485
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: I live close to the airport as well, so I'm

486
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: like him, I'm happy to come get you. We hadn't

487
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: like said out goodbyes whatever, and I'm like, I'm happy

488
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: to come get you and like, you know, take you

489
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: to the airport whenever your flight is whatever. And then

490
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: the same thing, accounsel locks can't book his flights, and

491
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: so I pick him up and he's a little bit

492
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: stressed because he also works like a Monday to Friday

493
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: job as well. She got a full time job, and

494
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: he does his basketball thing as well. Apparently now he's

495
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: also going to be doing it. That is the money.

496
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: So I ended up having his stranded. He hasn't asked

497
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: me again.

498
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: I'm not offering, you know, if you need me to

499
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: book your lights back, you are going to ask you

500
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: for yourself.

501
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: You need to lose all your dignity to whip out

502
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: your card my card again, huh.

503
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: So I take him, I take him back to my

504
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: apartment again, really not what I wanted to do. And

505
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: I think he sends that two and I think he said, like,

506
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't want to be overstepping

507
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: or whatever, and I'm like, he had no she had

508
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: to check out at like eleven. I don't think I

509
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: picked him up till like the late afternoon and same

510
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: thing like getting a flat on the same day dollars, Like,

511
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: who are spending dollars?

512
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: And we're already been since checkout, sitting at a pub

513
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: drinking beers, tapping his card.

514
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: Probably for some money to get yourself. Yeah, and your.

515
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: Nobody's tapping his card to buy beers where to get

516
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 3: the wine? Yeah, he's got no money in west pack

517
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: account anymore.

518
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't even know. This is what I'm saying too.

519
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: Obviously you guys know, and they might a little bit

520
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: like that's what my TikTok too. I don't have a family.

521
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: I've been independence since I was fourteen years old, and

522
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: so I had said a couple of times, I'm like,

523
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: maybe just ask mom, maybe ask your dad, Like I

524
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: don't put this on me. Yeah, this actually isn't on,

525
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Like this is not on anyway.

526
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: I support myself fully, like I don't have anything to

527
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: fall back on. I feel like a couple grand is

528
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: a lot of money for me. Yeah, anyone I have

529
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 2: to pay for rent.

530
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 3: I have to pay for myself to But I feel

531
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 3: like you're also trying not to rock the boat. This

532
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: is a guy that you've just met. You like him,

533
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: You've got feelings for him. You've said I love you.

534
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: You're not going to be like, are you fucking kidding me?

535
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, And I'm not that type of person either.

536
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm just not confrontational. So I think this is obviously

537
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: going to teach me a lot of lessons and how

538
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: I handle things in the future as well. In that spot,

539
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: I feel like anyone would struggle to yeah, I would

540
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: combine to yeah.

541
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: I would be like, fine, I'll just pay for your flights.

542
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: Don't get out of this awkward situation. If any of

543
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: your scam masks yeah, please please, we will not.

544
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: So he's at my house. He still hasn't asked me,

545
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: but I went back to playing Uno.

546
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: I love looking it yeah, because you're putting it off

547
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 3: you're gonna ask yeah and.

548
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: Turned me wrong. I love my quality time. Like we said,

549
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: there's good moments with this matter. I'm enjoying. Okay, I'm

550
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna play rounds with you and then I don't need

551
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: to get on a flight. This is my mom And

552
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: also like I hadn't, I hadn't really said you can stay.

553
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: But I'm a bit like in theory as well, it's

554
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: probably gonna work better if you get flights tomorrow. It's

555
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: probably gonna work better than it being like four pm

556
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: and you're still not having anything booked. Cheaper too, Yeah,

557
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. On the Sunday night when we did

558
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: the pizza, wine and Uno I got Italian takeaway anyway,

559
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: we had a massive chat and I said I bought

560
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: it up on Saturday. I was a little bit like,

561
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: it's too early to make any calls. But if you

562
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: leave and we haven't discussed any of this, it's gonna

563
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: get messy. You know, We're probably gonna walk away from

564
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: each other feeling and thinking like fifty different things. So

565
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: I'd rather just have an open conversation about it now

566
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: then you leave, and because we're so far apart, that

567
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: be the thing, as in like what is this kind

568
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: of thing? Kind of thing, but also implying like there's

569
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: no pressure there because I don't think I'm ready to

570
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: do it.

571
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: What is this?

572
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: But like boundaries? Yeah, which is big for me because

573
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm not good at having those conversations clearly, and I'm

574
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: quite good a letting myself get treated poorly sometimes. So

575
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: it's like I'm just gonna tackle this head on. And

576
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: I made it like very easy for him to to

577
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: be like if he's not ready, he's not ready as well. Yeah,

578
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: and so we had a big, big wid round in

579
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: conversation about that, and essentially he said to me on

580
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: the Sunday, he's like, you know, I've only been talking

581
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: to this entire time, Like I want to build on this.

582
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: I want this as much as you do. He'd had

583
00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: one long term relationship beforehand, poor girl. He'd sold girl,

584
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: will get into it. He'd sold himself to me as

585
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: well as very much like a love a boy like

586
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: there was there was no really sense of like a

587
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: player esque there. He was very like open about his

588
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: emotions everything like that. We got we had a really

589
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: nice emotional connection. Yeah, so I thought. And then the Monday,

590
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: same thing before he leaves and he's at map part

591
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: and he sits me down and he is the one

592
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: that brings it up this time, and he talks a

593
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: lot about the money. He's like the minute I get back,

594
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: like this is going to be rectified. He's like, I

595
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: think so highly of you and I respect you so

596
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: much for being so okay about it. He said, you know,

597
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: you could have made this a really awkward weekend and

598
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: x y Z you know, and I said to him.

599
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: I was like, I know if I was in the

600
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: same boat, you would have done the same for me.

601
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: And it's a like, yeah, shitty situation. Yeah, like we

602
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: can't change it. Yeah, you got here, your account works.

603
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: We have this really really really well rounded conversation. And

604
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: then we also established like we're like, okay, we're getting off,

605
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: we're getting on freyer as well. Yeah, and so I've

606
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: booked his flights by this time as well to go home,

607
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: and then he was still had to hang around for

608
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: another couple of hours. We play some more and then

609
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: I take him to the airport drop him off, and

610
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: then instantly obviously as you as you would expect, we're

611
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: texting back and forth, both feeling really good and we

612
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: like confirm over text too. Were like Raya, like let's

613
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: cancel it, Like we're in let's get off. The dating

614
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: apps were all yeah, yeah, we're doing it well, which

615
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: is such an examy way, and I'm so sad that

616
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: it's he was such a prick, so and so yeah,

617
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: it was like we've had this bit off a weekend

618
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: by the money thing, and then this is this is

619
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: how high my respect levels were for this man, and

620
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: the like what I saw in the potential of it.

621
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: I didn't tell a soul about the money thing. I

622
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: didn't tell my friends, I didn't tell anyone because I

623
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: was like, if I end up with this man and

624
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: he gets back and he pays me, how dare I? Yeah?

625
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: How dare like I give anyone close to me in

626
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: my life a bad perception of him if his accounts

627
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: did just get locked. Yeah, and I've wanted to do

628
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: all this. You wanted to give him the benefit of

629
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, So I I didn't tell anyone, and

630
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: I so he left on the Monday. I cancel my

631
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: ray on the Monday as well, and it stays active

632
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: for a week. So it was still still active. But

633
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: we're talking this whole week. It stays active till you're

634
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: the month is up, like yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, or

635
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: whatever period you've paid. And so he gets home, we're

636
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: talking it had been a week. The money thing hadn't

637
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: been bought up once by him. There was no conversation

638
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: about it. And so progressively, as the days go on,

639
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: I start getting like a little bit uneasy, and.

640
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: You're resenting me, like, why haven't you brought this money

641
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: thing up? Yes?

642
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: And resent is the perfect word for it, because it

643
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: was it was building almost like this unfair resembment because

644
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, I haven't said anything, but you haven't said anything.

645
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: You need to bring this up. May Yeah, don't put

646
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: it on me. And so I cancel my rare on

647
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: the Monday. I'm driving on the Sunday thanking for Ray.

648
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying. And it's so it's the Sunday,

649
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: so it's basically a week after he's gone home, and

650
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: I hadn't got a ray of notification all week. I

651
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: hadn't seen anything pop up with it. I completely forgot

652
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: about it, and I actually thought that when you canceled it,

653
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: you were canceled immediately. And I'm driving and a notification

654
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: pops up, and I literally I'm like started in my seat.

655
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I thought I deleted it, yeah, And

656
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: then I click on these notifications. I'm driving my phones

657
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: and my little holder, and it momentarily like glitches to

658
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: the moment that I was last on it, and it

659
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: had his profile up and I see traveling to Melbourne

660
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: for a split second, and then it like reloads itself

661
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: and it's back to where he lives. And so I'm

662
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: driving and I'm like, and it hits me, like the anxiety,

663
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: the intuition, everything. I'm like, has he set his ray

664
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: to traveling to Melbourne when he was here to see me? Like,

665
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm insulted. I'm insulted. And so I literally call him.

666
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just I'm just gonna have a conversation

667
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: about this. You're exclusively, Yeah, come on, let's chat. And

668
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: so I'm like to him, I'm driving and I'm like, look,

669
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: i just have to ask you. And it's the same thing,

670
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt in a sense of we maybe

671
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: hadn't defined it yet, but it's still still a pretty

672
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: shitty thing to do, Like, why would you do that?

673
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: I haven't touched this app since basically talking to you again,

674
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: that's just the type of person. I thought it was mutual.

675
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Maybe not. And so he's like to me, playing dumb,

676
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I didn't do that. I don't know

677
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: how to do that. I think you can only do

678
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: that if you have premium to different countries. You're lying.

679
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: So but I'm like to him, I've asked him. He's

680
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: told me, no, there's nothing I can do. I can't

681
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: stress about anymore. I can't say anything. I can't keep

682
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: pushing the point. So I'm like, okay, and we get

683
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: off the phone and I have a little tap through

684
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: his profile as I'm driving. I look at it. Nothing

685
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: had changed, nothing was altered as it was originally driving.

686
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: I get home and something in my body's like okay,

687
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: like just have another look. Click, let's just have another look.

688
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

689
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: I go back on and he had added a photo

690
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: to his ray out in the time that we got

691
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: off the phone to me getting home to my apartment,

692
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: he had at because I checked in the car, he

693
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: had added a photo. I mean, he's actively using that account,

694
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: actively using it and added a photo that he had

695
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: sent me on I message like a live I hate that, like, oh.

696
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: That saw this TikTok the other night that it was

697
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: like when you see your ex and a dating profile

698
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: and all the photos that you fucked that you took

699
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: off him, and I supposit you bore him.

700
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: That is me.

701
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm like, I'm shocked. I'm like, who literally

702
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: sent me this photo of your head?

703
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: Now and now you've thought, oh that was hot, let

704
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: me add it to my ryot to find another girl

705
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: exactly that.

706
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: And so I get home and I text him, and

707
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, and that's in complete transparency and honesty. That

708
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: is enough to make me leave any situation. I'm very cutthroat.

709
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: I might like, we have lots of benefits of the doubt, maybe,

710
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: but once something is put in front of my eyes

711
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: with hard evidence, that was enough to make me leave

712
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. But obviously, in the back of my mind,

713
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: my two and a half thousand dollars is also sitting

714
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: there in his control, and that's enough to keep me there.

715
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: That BA please. So I texted him and I'm like,

716
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: you literally I can find him. I'm like, you literally

717
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: added a photo since we spoke. I was like, we're

718
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: not on the you know, like quite suddenly, like we're

719
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: not on the same page anymore. And he's trying to

720
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: call me and trying to talk to me. I'm like, look,

721
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to Jim's my Happy Blaze. So I was like,

722
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to a workout, like we'll chat after. I

723
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: just needed like some cooling off time. I was in Shark.

724
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is not what I thought we were doing.

725
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: And I made it so okay for him to tell

726
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: me that that's not what he wanted to do. As well,

727
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Yeah, So that's why I was confusing,

728
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: Like I made it so easy for you to tell

729
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: me that you're not ready for something, or you don't

730
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: want to be exclusive, or you know your basketball's enough,

731
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: and I'll stay in your life like platonically as a

732
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: person that's just like rooting for you. I made it

733
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: so easy for him to say yes to that. So

734
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, why didn't you just say yes to that?

735
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: I didn't get the logic, Like you were the one

736
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: who was kind of pushing this narrative.

737
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you still would have you in my life.

738
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: I was like in his life. I was happy to

739
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: be there. And so I go to the gym. He

740
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: gets me on a FaceTime and little Wordsmith comes out.

741
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: He's talking to me. He's saying, you know, it was dumb,

742
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: it was silly. It was a dumb boy moment. He'd

743
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: set it to just for friends. Since that, he was like,

744
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a big deal. He was

745
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: trying to compare it to Instagram. He's like, what's the

746
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: difference between me updating my like raio picture?

747
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 3: Fucking So the excuse for people that don't know you

748
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 3: can be on Riyah and said it to something called

749
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: just for friends, and like a whole bunch of people

750
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: are on there just to find mate.

751
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: You can see that it's set to that.

752
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 3: Yes, And it's like, come on, if we've spoken O

753
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: getting off Raya, I find friends another way, Yes.

754
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, there's no justification between Instagram. I'm

755
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: in a dating app. I said, you like, point blank,

756
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: you added that photo because you thought you looked good

757
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: in it, and you're on a dating app. You want

758
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: other girls to like find you a track of point like,

759
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing more to it than that, Like, don't I'm

760
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: not silly. I hate when people try to assume that.

761
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: H Like you're trying to make me believe them, like

762
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: a narrative that's just not there. Yeah, And so where

763
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: we end up on the FaceTime he'd like he was

764
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: sending me screenshots. He told his like boys group chat

765
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: or whatever about it, and they're like saying, how silly is?

766
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: And so he weans his way back in essentially and

767
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: my Raya, as I said, it was canceling that night,

768
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: like that Sunday night. This is all on the Sunday

769
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: a week later. It was like terminating that night. And

770
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: so I had another look. He's gone, He's not in

771
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: my inbox, He's nowhere to be seen. And so I

772
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: looked on his RAYA. It's gone, he's offered. So I'm like, okay,

773
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: I can't see you on that mind's expiring that night.

774
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: You've had this dumb boy moment. We're gonna call it.

775
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: And I said to him, like, if anything happens like

776
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: this ever again, like you will not hear from me.

777
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: Like that's it. And so then I FaceTime one of

778
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: my friends and I'm a little bit liked, right, I'm explaining.

779
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, this has just happened. They obviously knew all

780
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: about him, and I said, you know that that rare

781
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: thing is enough to make me not want to speak

782
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: to him, but I need my money. I haven't told you,

783
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: but like this is what happened when he was in Melbourne.

784
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: And then I'm like soundboarding and I'm like, I say

785
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: to them, I'm like, do I just remove myself from

786
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: the situation out say goodbye to the money or like

787
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: are we you know we're playing it along, we're getting

788
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: the money back, and then when we get the money back,

789
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: we kind of know we need to like cut this

790
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: loose or whatever, and so yeah, my friend, my friend's

791
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: pushing me an option too. She's like, come on, like

792
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: we said, it's a lot of money, it's a lot

793
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: of money to anyone. Let's get it back. Do what

794
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: you gotta do. Dumb boy moment. And obviously, as they

795
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: said to you guys, and I said to him, like,

796
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: there were also so many like so many feelings involved

797
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: there as well. So he's off it. Whatever, life is good.

798
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I think a week and a half later, it was like,

799
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, I just got this same thing, woman's intuition.

800
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: I just got this terrible feeling. And we'd still been

801
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: talking consistently, facetiming the whole time, and it was just

802
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: one night one day. It was kind of it was

803
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 1: like eating me out. I was like, I'm not feeling

804
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: good about something. And I was like, I'm just going

805
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: to reactivate my membership and see if he's on there

806
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: and he's dumb and he hasn't blocked me. I'm going

807
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: to see him like I'm going to see him back

808
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: in my inbox. Whatever. Yeah, so I wait till he

809
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: goes to bed, so like I'm not I don't want

810
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: a confrontation I've given you the chance to explain yourself

811
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: once and so I read down load Reya and I

812
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: reactivate my subscription and long bholds He's back in my inbox.

813
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: And so then I'm like, well, he's wrong with people

814
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 3: don't go on a dating I've seeing someone.

815
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: It's not When the initial ray thing happened with the

816
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: added photo, I then KeyPoint. I then asked for my

817
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: money back. I was like, look, I was like, if

818
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: you can't, because we're kind of going back, like fiery

819
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: texts about him adding this photo, and I'm like, if

820
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: you can't do it right now, that's fine, but like

821
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: this is how much everything is. I'm happy to send

822
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: you the receipts please, Like I need you to start

823
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: paying me back now. He sent me a screenshot of

824
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: him not being able to get into his bank and

825
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: he's like, I've told you I'm going to payback for everything.

826
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: Are you just ending it? Are you ending it? Like

827
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: pulling that kind I said to no, I'm not ending it,

828
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: but like I feel vulnerable now. I feel really vulnerable

829
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: and like you're doing this shit like it's not hard.

830
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: And so then yeah, happens again. That week and a

831
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: half later, he's back on RAYA. That photo is back

832
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: out there, and so he's in bed, and I'm like, okay,

833
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: I every social media form, his number, everything that he had,

834
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: I just blocked off of everything. I'm like, hey, you're

835
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna wake up and you're you're so confused.

836
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 2: But I don't desert I don't know you an explanation anymore.

837
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: No, Like I'm more than capable of having a mature

838
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: conversation as I did when you said it to try.

839
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't want no, Like it's not hard. It's not

840
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: hard to stay off a dating up. And we're just cleaning,

841
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: not on the same page, and that's fine, but like

842
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm picking my self respect back up. Yeah, And so

843
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: obviously his subconscious is gonna know exactly why i'd assume.

844
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: But same thing. It's that kind of power play of

845
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: like you're gonna wake up, you're not gonna hear from you. Yeah,

846
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna feel good. And I think unless he has

847
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: so much time in his heads, we were obviously a

848
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: little bit of like a fundamental part of each other's

849
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: day or whatever, it'd become like habit to speak, So

850
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: like pull the pin on that and remove myself from

851
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: the situation. Yeah, And I got just thinking and pondering,

852
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: and I'm really curiosity and I I had he had

853
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: not tried to call me, like on no caller, no contact,

854
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: no DMS, no nothing, which is fine. I was not

855
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: doing it for a reaction.

856
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: It's nice, like you might not want to see if

857
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: them to try and contract.

858
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: And because the money was a factor. Yeah, I like

859
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: if you truly have like the moral grounds to stand

860
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: on to think that that's okay and you're just gonna

861
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: let me run away now and you don't even have

862
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: an ounce in you to like talk about the money

863
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: or think about paying me back with it, like before

864
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: you like ended, here's the money, Like just take the money. Yeah,

865
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: I'd sent him my account details multiple times, like probably

866
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: three or four times, so a slither of my delusions

867
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: like you might just pay me the money, or you

868
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: might pay me the money to get my attention back,

869
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: so remove myself from this situation. And then yeah, I

870
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: just got pondering, and I'm really trying to deep down

871
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: anything as you're doing, like how was somebody okay with

872
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: doing all of this to me? I start getting curious

873
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: and I'm looking and my I don't know if your

874
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: Instagram's do this, but my Instagram was showing me his

875
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: following in chronological war.

876
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you go on your burner account and you

877
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 2: don't have because you don't follow anyone on your banner

878
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: account obviously guys, sorry this makes me sound insane, but

879
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 2: when you tap on their following, the person who they

880
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: most recent follow goes to the top. Yeah.

881
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Interesting, So burner accounts can see the chrono logical a. Yeah,

882
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: you can see the most should I call my birder?

883
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? So like when you're talking to a new guy

884
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: and you're like and they go like, oh, we're exclusive,

885
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 2: Like I really like you. I'm not talking to anyone

886
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: you're on the Burner account and you're like, well, you

887
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: just followed fifteen girls, so something.

888
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

889
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: There's nothing eggier than a boy that has a ninety

890
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: nine point ninety five percent girl following list.

891
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: And so this this is what was interesting me and

892
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: so I started going through our texts and on the

893
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: Saturday night before this hit all happened, he had told

894
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: me about this guy that hid met, and so he'd

895
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: met this man on like a Wednesday, and he told

896
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: me a lot about him, told me his name whenever

897
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: I found the Instagram. Life is good. And again in

898
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: the moment, thought nothing of it. This was just more

899
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: in my reflection period. So they'd met a Wednesday, and

900
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: then the Saturday night prior to this all happening, he

901
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: had like his basketball I think prize giving or they

902
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: were all going out or something like that, and then

903
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: he had texted me being like the rest of my

904
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: team is dead or whatever, but I've met back up

905
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: with Yeah, the guy, let's just call him. What's Joey, Joey.

906
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: He's met back up with Joey, and he's chatting to

907
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: me all of Saturday night. He's with Joey. He tells

908
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: me that they've gone back to the house together, his

909
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: house together, just the two of them. They're sitting around,

910
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: they're drinking. He sent me a photo of them at

911
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: the table, and again in the moment, didn't think anything

912
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: of it. He's consistently talking to me, and then all

913
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden he sent me like a photo of them.

914
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: I sent a photo back, and then I didn't hear

915
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: anything for like three hours, and then I started getting

916
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: like all these musicals, all these musicals, all these musicals,

917
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: like he really wanted me and he was like really

918
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: desperate for me or whatever. But like, and I got pondering.

919
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, what were you doing in that three hours?

920
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: Because you and Joey didn't pass out and you woke

921
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: back up with three and you wanted to talk to me,

922
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: Like you've been awake, you're on the beers, you're doing

923
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I just got ponderings. I'm looking back

924
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: at these texts. I go to Joey's profile and I'm

925
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: having a look, and I'm like, it's it's not really

926
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: giving straight. And I messaged Joey and it also messaged

927
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: a couple of other girls that I was like just

928
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: asking if like they'd been talking kind of crazy of me,

929
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: but I just needed some peace of mind. So that happens.

930
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: And then when I've sent the messages to the people,

931
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: kind of asking a couple of questions, getting my closure,

932
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: a Burno account starts typing to me and he's like

933
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: reaching out to me. He's like, you know, Mercedes, it's basketball, man,

934
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: this is the only way I can contact you after

935
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: you just blocking me. The people just showed me your

936
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: messages that you sent them. What the actual puck you

937
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: can what the actual fuck there's no way you entered

938
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: it because you think x y Z. It's honestly one

939
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: of the craziest things I've ever heard. You probably won't

940
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 1: even respond to this or read it, but you didn't

941
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: even have the d since he'd message me directly.

942
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: May me my money, don't talk about decency, pay me

943
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: my cash.

944
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: Let alone again. You're helping my conclusioncy because why was

945
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: that the thing that God arise out of you? When

946
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: I blocked you. You didn't and him up. Only now

947
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: when I'm checking around potentially crazy assumptions of things that

948
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: may have happened getting my closure. Now you're on your

949
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: banner ug account trying to contact me. Yeah, because you're

950
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: getting called out. And I said to him, I'm like,

951
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: don't get it twisted. You were back on ray and

952
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: I never want to hear from you again. I was

953
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: checking with your so called friends to see what you're

954
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: up to. A few things weren't adding up. He's still

955
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: only two thousand dollars. Don't text me back. Fuck yeah.

956
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: And then he's going back. He's like, ask everyone how

957
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: much I've talked about you?

958
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: Da da da.

959
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: I just said my bsban account again. And then he

960
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: sends me a receipt, so I'm thinking, amna, Well, so

961
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: I look up the BSBN account. It's to his name,

962
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: so it makes sense. Time I'm like and I'm like, okay,

963
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: this was out like five point thirty at night. It

964
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: is a couple thousand dollars. So I'm like, okay, let's

965
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: give it one two business days. So I'm under the impression.

966
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know, I'm waiting for money, and

967
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: he's he's keep trying to talk to me, trying to

968
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: talk to me, wance to keep talking to me. I'm like,

969
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: when the money's hit my account, i might text you,

970
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: but like, as of right now, that's it. That's it.

971
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: A week passes, there's nothing in my account, and I'm like, okay,

972
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: this is beyond a joke. I'm like, hey, has anything

973
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: gone wrong on your end? You know, it's been over

974
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: two reason and days. I don't have the money. What's

975
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: going on here? Just checking in making sure everything's okay?

976
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours, no response, doesn't open it, nothing, hence

977
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: the TikTok. I'm like, yeah, you've left me with You've

978
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: left me with no other option. I've given you so

979
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: many chances. I've done it mature about the situation. I

980
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to have to get to that point, but

981
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: I am, like we said, at this sight, it's embarrassing. Yeah,

982
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: do you think I wanted to tell these one point

983
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: three million people like I did that? But I did

984
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: that and long behold. I think the first day or

985
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: the day that it was kind of of like getting

986
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: some traction another burner. I account request me, Yeah, Mercedes,

987
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like why it's basketball? Man? Look,

988
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to cause drama, but obviously you don't

989
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: have the money. I tried to pay you again this

990
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: morning and in his bounce, I've got the receipts. I've

991
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: been texting you on Instagram if clearly blocked that. All

992
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm asking is for you to delete the TikTok as

993
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: it's incorrect and it's paining me to be out as

994
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: something i'm not, which is playing with my career and everything.

995
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: Like it's not a joke posting that at all, and

996
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: I can't even get a hold of you. Don't do

997
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: it then, I think brook says it's one of their

998
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: podcasts too. It's like, if you're doing that to somebody

999
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: that's got half a platform or that you know, can yap?

1000
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: Don't you do it? Do it to somebody else, and

1001
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: he would have known that I'm the last person ever

1002
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: would have been okay with something like this ever happening. Yeah,

1003
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: hundred reamer, That's what I've known. I'm like, no guy

1004
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: will want to fuck me over. I'll talk about on

1005
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 1: my podcast.

1006
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: Everyone always says that, like the Triple M came out

1007
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: with this thing the other day when they accidentally talking

1008
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 2: about me the footy, and then everyone was commenting on it,

1009
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 2: being like, she's gonna talk better than the podcast.

1010
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well look I am so you should. As you

1011
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: mentioned my name, I'm gonna mention yours. Yeah, I'm certainly fair. Yeah,

1012
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, by this time as well of

1013
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: posting the TikTok, so, I guess this is the development

1014
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting And still till this day, once two new

1015
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: people every day messaging me asking me if I know

1016
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: this after a basketball man, what I know about basketballman

1017
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: telling me their stories, telling me what's happened to them,

1018
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, this is like a regular yeah,

1019
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: this is not just me, which there was so much

1020
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 1: comfort in knowing that you weren't the only one. People

1021
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 1: on the receiving end of it, completely understood how it happened.

1022
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: What kind of things was he doing to other people similarly,

1023
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 3: like just making them pay for flights and like that

1024
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 3: sort of stuff.

1025
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: So people have told me this beautiful girl messages me

1026
00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: and she is like to me, you know, says his name.

1027
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: She's like, oh my goodness, like is this who it is?

1028
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like okay, and I'm replying to her and

1029
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: I'm like yeah, it is like you'll be pleased to know,

1030
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: like I actually got my money back though, like are

1031
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: you okay, Like you know, what do you need? Yeah.

1032
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: A month before he was in Melbourne seeing me, he

1033
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: did the exact same thing to this poor Melbourne girl.

1034
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: Stayed in the same state at the Meryton, the same hotel,

1035
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: the same story that I mentioned earlier about the VFLA

1036
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: fil meetings word for one, and so she's voice memoying

1037
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: me stuff that I haven't even put in the video

1038
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: word for word line for line, bah blah blah, accommodation

1039
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: for accommodation, what the phone fuck that? And so I'm like,

1040
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: before and before that point and learning about that, I

1041
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: was feeling a lot of empathy because it was taking off,

1042
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: and I was a little bit like, oh, you know,

1043
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: you've done this to so many people, they're figuring out

1044
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: who it is. But then I heard that, I'm like,

1045
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: he told me he'd only been to Melbourne twice in

1046
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: his entire life, So you were here at this you

1047
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: really have people lie, but you were here at this

1048
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: hotel less than a month ago with another girl so crazy,

1049
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: her and her brother and her brother's wife fake concert tickets.

1050
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: They all transferred him like it's so And then I

1051
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: think that's why he said, like hence being hiss sake was,

1052
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: it's so much deeper than just what happened to me.

1053
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 2: So other girls have been like almost kind of like

1054
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: even more faked by it because they're scammed by because

1055
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: they actually have been. And you were really smile about it,

1056
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 2: being like well, no, I'm not going to transfer you

1057
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: for the hotel, like I'll come pay for it and

1058
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So he was kind of probably then

1059
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: kind of lying on his feet when he was with you,

1060
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 2: being like, oh, they've never done that before.

1061
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, And same accounts got locked when he

1062
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: was in Melbourne with this other girl. So his message

1063
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: we obviously regarding this video aways asked me to take

1064

1070
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,680

1071
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: about all these other people, and I'm like, I actually

1072

1076
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: because there's been so many people and I think that's

1077
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: the intent behind it.

1078
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:33,239

Speaker 2: meeting someone halfway, pay.

1103
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 3: Half half, if you're doing something kind, and it's like

1104
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 3: if they get here and they don't have that money,

1105
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna be like stuck with it like that. Yeah,

1106
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 3: so they can't afford the flights over, then see you

1109
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: I think the first day. Yeah, and I'm obviously getting

1110
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: an influx of all these messages from all these people,

1111
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,959
Speaker 1: so I'm actually basketball man. I have so many people

1112
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: in my messages, including your ex girlfriend, people used to

1113
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: be friends with. This is exactly who you are and

1114
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: your own denial about it. I have no intent in

1115
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: trying to destroy your career. Your actions and your behavior

1116
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: are going to do that all for you. Considering the

1117
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: amount of people you've done this too, you sh all

1118
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 1: I care about is getting my money back, Get your parents,

1119
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: your friends, your coach, whoever to pay me. I'll have

1120
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: nothing to say. And your lives make me sick. You've

1121
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: finally done this to the wrong person. Yeah, and keeps going,

1122
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: keeps going, keeps going, keeps going, keeps going. Tries to

1123
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: tell me my bank details are incorrect and like I

1124
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: copied and pasted them from the Westpac app. Like all

1125
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: you do is lie. All you do is lie. And

1126
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm finally seeing it. It took me while, like a

1127
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: couple of months to say it, but I'm like, everything

1128
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: you say now I can't. And I said, like this

1129
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: was all. It's been a week since I got my

1130
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: money back. It's live and I'm still getting messages every day.

1131
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and so going back and forth, and

1132
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: I just keeps saying back to every I'm like, send

1133
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: me my money, full stop, send me my money, Send

1134
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: me my money. So I don't even want to hear

1135
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: you out anymore. Legend like money to say, no, I

1136
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: want my money, just send me my money. I get

1137
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: it too, positive five hundred dollars. So bit, this isn't

1138
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: after pay.

1139
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: We don't paying for install there's interest on this shit

1140
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 2: fucking pay me great ground now.

1141
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: And so again he's like, Okay, did you get it?

1142
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: Did you get it? Did you get it? And I

1143
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: got some of it, and I just keep saying, I'm like,

1144
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: paint me the rest, saying this was at about like

1145
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: twelve that day, and then by six point thirty I

1146
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: got the rest of it. So we got the money back,

1147
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: and so same thing. Like I said, Initially, I was like,

1148
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: that's all I wanted, and that was the only intent.

1149
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: But also with posting it, I'd already kind of said

1150
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: goodbye to the money. I had come to the conclusion.

1151
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not getting any of this back.

1152
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: This is my last shore. I wonder how much money

1153
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: he ends up owing everyone. Did that girl that spoke

1154
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: to you get her money back? So she had to

1155
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: get her friends to call and pretend to be collective

1156
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: and reach out to his parents. And I think the

1157
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: parents was like the final strus. And I think some

1158
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: you know, he'd kind of said to me along the

1159
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,280
Speaker 1: lines of like mental health and like this being detrimental,

1160
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: But same thing. I draw the line if he did

1161
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: this to me even a year ago before I kind

1162
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: of had to really financially set myself up. And financial

1163
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: stress is some of the worst stress ever, especially in

1164
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: this day and age, Like the amount of people that

1165
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: are struggling with money. Yeah, using someone for that. So

1166
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, if you want to talk about mental health,

1167
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: you've probably put so many of these males, females me

1168
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: in a position where their mental health was actually happen

1169
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: to come to Melbourne and get a hotel and go

1170
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: to it. Do you know what I mean? He could

1171
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: have just said, would not say, just saved everyone's fucking money. Yeah,

1172
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: And if I couldn't have bought groceries for the week,

1173
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: or put petrol in my car or paid my rent,

1174
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: he would not have cared. So it's like, yeah, don't

1175
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: have that or want people to have that empathy for

1176
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: you when you've probably put people and men in situations

1177
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: in situations where they come by their food for a

1178
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: week because you're hurting all these innocent people for a stay. Yeah,

1179
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: that is where we drop the line.

1180
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 3: Well, thank you hopefully anyone that is listening. Just keep

1181
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,840
