00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: person was so beautiful and like really soft and gentle.

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: And I didn't drink either, so it meant that you

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: kind of had to like be in the moment more

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: like you couldn't You couldn't rely on alcohol.

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: There's no distraction, but this is it.

90
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: You can't blind alcohol to make you more of a

91
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: conversational list like, you just have to kind of like

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: listen and be in that moment. But it was hard though,

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: because the place that we were at was also a

94
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: poor and the room next door there was like a

95
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: live band playing, so it was so loud and with

96
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: my ADHD like I just hear all the other noises,

97
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: so I couldn't quite hear them. But they were really

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: cute and I enjoyed it, and I would do it

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: again because like I want to be able to be

100
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: I want to be able to expectience moments more in

101
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: the present. Which okay, now when my God. Welcome to

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: And then halfway through it was like this episode is

111
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: sponsored no Hello.

112
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: Fresh, and I was like, are you joking?

113
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: I'm half asleep and I'm being advertised to baby?

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to find inner piece when you're

115
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: trying to say that Nanita that Hello Fresh, Nanitza, have

116
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: you had that yet?

117
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 3: No?

118
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: Baby, it's a nonbred pizza. What's what's wrong with you?

119
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: On his profile, which also makes me a bit sad,

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: it says get.

121
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: He says forty three man straight.

122
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: That is so sad, so sad, a loss of the community.

123
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: He says, I'm sober, but I don't judge. Okay, sorry,

124
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: I did read that wrong because I thought he said

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: don't judge me, but I was obviously me projecting, but

126
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't judge. Also kind of rude because nobody was

127
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: giving me the right to judge anyway.

128
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: No, but I guess what he's saying is there's that

129
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: there's a stigma about people who are sober that people are.

130
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: Around Yeah, but the thing is like, because I did

131
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: actually have a few drinks on this day, I was

132
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: drinking champagne.

133
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: Actually that's why I was drinking. Yeah, thank you so much.

134
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: Pause for applause. So I was drinking champagne and was

135
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 3: maybe a bit.

136
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: Tipsy, but was then really conscious of like being tipsy.

137
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: So I was like watching myself through the lens of him,

138
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: which I think makes me obviously very self conscious.

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: It's like it's like when my mum.

140
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: Sees me drunk, I fucking trip out because she's never

141
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: been drunk before and she doesn't even care. But I'm

142
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: like constantly everything I'm saying, I'm like, oh my god,

143
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: she thinks I'm a retrobate.

144
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 1: What do you think it makes you drunk?

145
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: I think it makes me really aware of everything I'm

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: saying and how I'm sounding, and I think it makes

147
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: me more or less drunk.

148
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: It just makes me like anxious in my head.

149
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like it's a bit like you know, like

150
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: if you like smoke weed and then like you bump

151
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: into someone and you're a bit high. In my head,

152
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: it's like they bumped into me and I've got a

153
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: clown nose on.

154
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: I need to message them and they're like, oh, I

155
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: had no idea, Yeah yeah.

156
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: As you were eating a whole bag of Cheeto. It's

157
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: on the street.

158
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: So when when I first got sober, and then I

159
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: broke up with the girl that I was seeing because

160
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: it wasn't a good relationship to start with, and then

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: I took a year off to to look at my

162
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 5: stuff and then and part.

163
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: Of that is looking at all that they say as well,

164
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: you shouldn't date like.

165
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Perfect sense, yeah yeah.

166
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, And because you're looking at relationships that you've had

167
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: and you just end up doing the same thing if

168
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 5: and it's distracting.

169
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: I guess one of the negatives as well is that

170
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: like you don't want someone to remember all the thing

171
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: from that night if you were drunk, So I mean

172
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: like if I'm drunk, I want you to be drunk

173
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: so that we're both forgetting what's happened. Like I don't

174
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: need you having like a script of all the things

175
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: I said whilst pissed.

176
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: I also think it's like an energy thing of like,

177
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: and this is you know, something I would struggle with.

178
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: I think being sober and dating is there's a moment

179
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: where a date goes from like a bit flirty to

180
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: like a bit sexual, and I think sober that moment

181
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: is takes a lot more to like want to do,

182
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: and that's that's sometimes a good thing, because sometimes when

183
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: you're sober, you're like, I actually don't want to get

184
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: to this person, whereas I would just get with them.

185
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the amount of times that you wake up and

186
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: you're like in bed with someone and you're like, actually,

187
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: there was no chemistry. We were just.

188
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly exactly, so I think sometimes, but then I

189
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: also feel like the best dates I've ever been.

190
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: In my life have been like we've been a bit drunk.

191
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes things get a bit more unpredictable when you're drinking

192
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: a bit, which is exciting, and I just feel like

193
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: maybe you lose that a bit when you're sober.

194
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like imagine like being in like like Less Square,

195
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: like climbing one of the statues sober and then statue

196
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and like take a fat with me, but you're sober.

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're both sober. He's not even watching you drunk

198
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: climb on the Travagar Square, Lion.

199
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: You're both sober.

200
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: Given like a level like photography, you're on a.

201
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: Sober dat ya and your date someone's busking on the

202
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: tube and your date starts dancing with him.

203
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, I would scream. Yeah,

204
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: that is the worst image I've ever ever had to

205
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: like picture.

206
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: My dad always goes up to buskers and like talks

207
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: to them, and I'm like, Dad, they're trying to play music.

208
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: What does he say?

209
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: Oh, because he used to be a busker, so he

210
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: thinks he's so part of the community.

211
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: He's like, what gradio sounded? You sound grateful to me?

212
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: He used to be.

213
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: He used to be a busker in the south of

214
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: France and he also used to write porn. My dad, wait,

215
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: porn character called the Riviera Jiggilow. Yeah, he used to

216
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: live in the French Riviera.

217
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: Wait, I'm sorry, your dad's EDFPR. What do you want about?

218
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we were talking about dating and like I guess,

219
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: like our sex lives, and then we were talking about

220
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: what kind of sex we're into, which is just kind

221
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: of the chat that I somehow get onto.

222
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: No, it's important you have to know that you're both

223
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: viable intimately before you get intimate.

224
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 3: I think, say intimate one more time.

225
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Intimately that is, so what if you're not fully erect

226
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: listen to this. What's wrong with you? Oh? Why do

244
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: That's my gag.

245
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: Did you just combine kissing and good link into kitdling?

246
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: How creepy that king?

247
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: But when he was talking, I was like, Oh, he's

248
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: kind of like my lover because I also get like

249
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: maybe not like kink shamed, but people think I'm going

250
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: to be into way more kinky stuff than I actually am,

251
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: and then I'm made to feel really boring because of it.

252
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: So I was like, he's kind of speaking my language

253
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: in the sense that I don't to be tied up.

254
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to be choked.

255
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to be slapped, like you know, I'm

256
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: in fear of that happening to me every time I

257
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: fucking go outside.

258
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: But I feel like sometimes you have to be careful

259
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: with that kind of guy, because that kind of guy

260
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: I can have that kind of like that conversation with you,

261
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and then you go back to his and he's like,

262
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: so I'm into pooh play.

263
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

264
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not into heavy kinks. But can I

265
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: shit on your chest?

266
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: I don't think Leo, that's Leo?

267
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: But sure, yeah, I mean fair what's my kink? I

268
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: don't know, like I would like to explore more kink.

269
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: I think I do like a nice little bit of

270
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: like am switch, like a bit of like role play,

271
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: like either I'm the dominant one or like I'm a

272
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: piece of shit and you can tell me what to do.

273
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: But the problem is is being like six foot five

274
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: and being like no one ever, no one ever tells

275
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: me what to do because I'm always putting the dominant

276
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 1: role like just naturally, which I don't mind, but I

277
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: would like to be a whole.

278
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: I've gone out with a with a married woman who's

279
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: married and then I won't have a coffee deal with her,

280
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: and then we had then we went on like a

00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 4: dinner dad.

282
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: And for the round and then and then.

283
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 4: We went to a kink club called Twitter Garden. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

284

Speaker 3: by the way my husband.

287
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: Of course, it was her husband and their friend and

00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: the friends.

Speaker 3: He was cool, Well, you were getting with her.

Speaker 1: That was very modern, it was I mean, yeah, that

299
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: is quite hot. I have actually watching a bit of

300
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: cook porn recently.

301
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: That's interesting. So I only love what what a cock

302
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: is this week?

303
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: So cook porn is basically where like your partner watches

304
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Fox someone else, But it kind of seems hot to

305
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: me to be honest, compared to most of the dates

306
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: that I've listened to, this guy sounds so cute and nice.

307
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: Was it good? Did you enjoy it?

308
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: I did enjoy it. I did enjoy it, and we're

309
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: having a nice time. And then what happened was I

310
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: ate some food and as I beforementioned, I was feeling

311
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: indigestion tive, and then it just fucking came to a

312
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: head and I had like suddenly, like really bad stomach pains.

313
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say out loud that I knew

314
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: it was trapped wind, so I said I thought maybe

315
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: it was like period pains or something like that, because

316
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: that's a bit easier for men to just in that moment.

317
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: But I knew it was trapped wind. And then so

318
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: then I got on the floor.

319
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: I got on the floor under the child's phone, no,

320
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: because I needed to fucking fart well in front of him.

321
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: I did do that in front of him. What. Oh well,

322
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: thank you so much for this.

323
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm having absolutely awful stomach cramps. It's not that I'm

324
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: not going to like far or anything. I think it's

325
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: either my period or I'm dying.

326
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: It's probably my period, yeah, or waste of a glass

327
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: of champagne.

328
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

329
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: And then I didn't finish my glass of champagne. And

330
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: then that is.

331
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: Not the worst thing that's happening in this moment. You

332
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: in Charles pose on the floor growning a far out whole.

333
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: It's probably worse than the quarter filled glass of champagne.

334
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: It's a fucking fresh glass of champagne. I don't even understand.

335
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: The thing about trapped wind is that as soon as

336
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: you far it goes away. So it's annoying because it

337
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: could have carried on the day when it's going to

338
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: a toilet, because I was in so much way. Have

339
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: you never had you ever had trap wind so badly?

340
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: I could? You can't really move?

341
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I have.

342
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, of course I have.

343
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: I've got it right now. I'm on Charles pose on

344
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: the floor in the studio. Pass me that glass of champeg,

345
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: will you. But I love that this guy is like,

346
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: this guy is like, yeah, I'm not really into like

347
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: weird things, want like some like massive kink. And then

348
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: you're just like Child's post yeah, and.

349
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: They're like it's not it's not I'm not gonna fart,

350
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm.

351
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: Not gonna fart. There's there's one thing I'm not gonna

352
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: do right now.

353
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: It's fart. But you know what, that's actually like quite

354
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: a solid out of a date, because one of the

355
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: issues that I have is I don't know how to

356
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: leave a date.

357
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: Definitely faked illness.

358
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: But I would say the best one is saying, like

359
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: a member of your family or friend has gone into labor.

360
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: But that's a lot of acting, isn't it.

361
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: It's actually really easy you say, oh my god, fuck,

362
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: I've got to go.

363
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.

364
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: Can we actually do it?

365
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I've done it loads of times.

366
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: Wait to want another drink? Wait, let me be straight,

367
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: do you want another drink?

368
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, I'm fuck, Oh my god,

369
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: I'm oh my god.

370
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: My best friend's gone into labor. I'm so sorry, I've

371
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: got to go.

372
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm her, I'm a person, you're dol.

373
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm her doula. Yeah, pulling the baby out.

374
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm the father. So what I'm convinced.

375
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done it a few times.

376
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: That one. I have. One time I remember, oh god,

377
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: like being on this day and going back to this

378
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: person's house and having like really bad sex. But then afterwards,

379
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: this person was like, I'm really glad that you're here

380
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: and like expecting me to stay around. And it was

381
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: like maybe half twelve at night. So I text my

382
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: house mate whilst they're in the toilet, and I was there, like,

383
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: can you just email me right now and pretend that

384
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: a meeting has been pushed forward midnight? No? No, no, no,

385
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: I know it's in like tomorrow morning is way earlier.

386
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: So then I have to leave because I don't want

387
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: to stay in this person's bed. And then they did it,

388
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: and I honestly gave the worst acting of my entire life,

389
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: like we both knew, but like I just had to

390
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: commit to the role.

391
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: The thing is why, I think in those moments, you

392
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: just want to believe that what the person is saying

393
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: is true. So they probably would think I don't know

394
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: this person.

395
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 3: Probably that is true.

396
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: I think in the moments, you just want to be

397
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: able to be reassured enough in yourself to go no.

398
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: This one wasn't actually that okay.

399
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: I would have liked that to go on for longer,

400
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: but I was in an excuchating pain.

401
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: Then I fired, and then I.

402
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Was fine, would you see him again?

403
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: So this is like one of the only ones I've

404
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: actually wanted to see him again and he didn't want

405
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: to see me again.

406
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: I guess why, because you're in Charles post on the

407
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: floor farting. So are you inte that sober guys, would

408
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: you do it again?

409
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I actually do think so.

410
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: I do think so, And I'm thinking maybe in the

411
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: future I'll be more open to like actually being like

412
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: dating properly someone who's sober.

413
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: And would you be more open to being more sober

414
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: on dates yourself?

415
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: I think so, because then that would have avoided maybe

416
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: the trapped wind if I hadn't drunk so much.

417
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is like that this is the moral,

418
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: but the moral is so clear, it's almost like biblical.

419
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 3: Hmmm, it's like the absolutely fabulous Bible.

420
00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a b c a d ab fab Yeah,

421
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: because I still think at this point, like sometimes I'm

422
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 6: still trying to chase oblivion, like I'm still want to

423
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 6: get wanting to get.

424
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: Like real fucked, Like I won't realize how many pints

425
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: I've had because I can just drink.

426
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: I think that's the one thing.

427
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: When I think about being in a relationship with a

428
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: sober person, I think, do I want to go on

429
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: holiday with someone and we're not going to have like

430
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: a fucking like wine Connoissan night out.

431
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: Pool.

432
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then I guess I can still do that,

433
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 2: so it's not that deep.

434
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like what is more important, like like love

435
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: and connection and trust with somebody or a long Island

436
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: iced tea by the pool.

437
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can because do I trust anyone?

438
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: No?

439
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: But I do want to that I can trust. Yeah,

440
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: next time.

441
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: On twenty eight dates later, he had brought me a

442
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 2: present and he brought me some vegan bacon.

443
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 3: Is this the first presence you've got?

444
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

445
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 2: And can we by the way, can we normalize bringing

446
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: gifts on a first day?

447
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: I think it's really chaps see a welcome. I'm a savage,

448
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: he can hurt it.
