35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: trees that we have in this country are like male trees.

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: So I didn't want to plant female trees because they

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: bear fruit and that's free fruit, but also like rotten fruit.

38
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: So this means it's just got like heavy.

00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: It was just like loads of spunk, like mother has

40

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: my eye and in my nose, in my mouth.

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is male trees. But also the craziest story

44
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: just really quickly that I have to tell you, So,

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,320

Speaker 2: I don't know why.

135
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 5: I think I've think I've been on with two comedians.

136
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: Really, that's interesting. Get over them.

137
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 5: Why I'm sure it was them and not the profession.

138
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: Well we are obviously they were probably really bad comedians.

139
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 5: Are a really good comedian.

140
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: I'm a very good exquisite. First of all, this is

141
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: please So this is like so funny because he claims

142
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: that he's never like looked me up, which I obviously

143
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: do not believe. I don't believe it for a second.

144
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: But like he basically before he had decided to come

145
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: on the date for the podcast, he mentioned it to

146
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: one of his friends and he was like, Oh, I've

147
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: been asked to do this thing with this girl called Grace.

148
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: And then the girl was like, oh my god, Grace Gamble.

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: And it turns out she went to my school, but

150
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: was a few years above me, and she was like,

151
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: oh yeah, you should definitely do it, like she's really funny.

152
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: But then he claims that even then he didn't like

153
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: look me up. I mean, don't believe it. What's your

154
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: content in my comedy sets? Relationships? My dog took about

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: my dog a lot on them. She's just been on heat,

156
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: so it's given me quite a lot of comedy. She

157
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: actually the other day she sat on a dog's face

158
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: in the pub and then squatted all.

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: dog's face.

177
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: But wait, just break that down because like what you

178
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,680

00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Eddie squirted on a dog's face.

00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: Wait can dog square?

181
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: Well apparently yeah, I googled it. It's like, you know,

182
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: a cat spray, Like it's like that, right, And it

183
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: smelled just like squirt, which does not smell like piss,

184
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: by the way, because as I always say, nobody has

185
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: a baroka and then squirts and squirts baraka. But that's

186
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: what I say to all the people that say squire's

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: piss scientists, all the scientists and the doctor's other let

188
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: me tell you that do the.

189
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Baroc Wait, so it was a sexual Squirre was like.

190
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: So she was on heat and she was really horny,

191
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: and she met this dog and they were playing, and

192
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: then she got really aroused and then she mounted the

193
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: dog's head, is like humping the dog's face, and then

194
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: sprayed all this liquid. It was like our pub right, wow,

195
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: sprayles liquid. So I picked her up and then she's

196
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: like humping the an sprayed this liquid all over the

197
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: guy opposite me. Oh, it was so embarrassing, like one

198
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 2: of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to me.

199
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: I was so angry at her. The rest of the

200
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: day was I know I felt about she after her

201
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: first organism, just fell sleep before I did not wake

202
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: up in this pub, did not wake up.

203
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: Relatable queen. I'm always there, Like, you better make sure you.

204
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: Come before I do, because as soon as I do,

205
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I'm in a coma.

206
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: Really actually normally it's me. It takes longer. So God

207
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: bless everyone's soul and whole that's been with me.

208
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: But like I am, I hate that thing where like

209
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: you've come and then you've got to make them come

210
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: and you're just say like this is I didn't realize

211
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: this was like the Lord of the Rings trilogy directors

212
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: cut No.

213
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: But that's the literally story of my life because I

214
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: always come within the first thirty seconds of sex. Like

215
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: it's so fucking embarrassing, Like I come so fast, but

216
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't mind it because I'll usually come again, like

217
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: come again, I always do, but I always come quite

218
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: quickly and then have to be like, okay, I can

219
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: munster up the energy and though I'd really like to

220
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: just have a sleep.

221
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean I live.

222
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: And that segment was for all of our listeners into

223
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: beat reality. Yeah, dogs can square.

224
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

225
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: The other thing, which I guess during this process, like

226
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: one of the things that I've done a lot that's

227
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: challenged myself is gone dates with people who are like

228
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: open or like ethically not monogamous or like moneyamous or whatever.

229
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: And I've obviously never really like ventured into any of that.

230
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: So I because I'd been told before that he was

231
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: in like an ethically non monogamous relationship, but then when

232
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: he came and I was so attracted to him, I

233
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: was like, oh fuck, but he's got a girlfriend. Yeah,

234
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: and we spoke about her. Are you in an open relationship?

235
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: It started, Yeah, we discussed it.

236
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 5: We both were on the same page of what we

237
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 5: were looking for, so it made sense. And then okay,

238
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 5: we fell in love and then continued going on.

239
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, in a way I was really it was

240
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: kind of cool, Like I did it. It wasn't I did.

241
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: Like as long as like everybody involved is fine with it.

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: I was like, this is kind of.

243
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: Chill, yeah, because it shows someone has it's like an

244
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: evolved state of being. Like if you can be non monogamous,

245
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: it means that like you surely have good communication skills,

246
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: They surely trust there. It's a very modern way of being,

247
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 3: which is, like I think, really positive.

248
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: But it's challenging as well because for me, like all

249
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: of my relationships in the past have been like monogamous,

250
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: and so when I'm sitting there opposite someone and I'm like,

251
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: I want to fuck you so much, like the eye

252
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: contact was just insane.

253
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I can hear the dripp between your legs.

254
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Well, for most of the day was actually we weren't

255
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: really speaking. We were like just looking at each other

256
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: and like laughing.

257
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 5: Like, yes, say something, then.

258
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Concentrate.

259
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: Okay, excuse me, what are you thinking?

260
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Yes?

261
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: Nothing, life. No, You're a really good one to end

262
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: with that, because you're like I would, I would see

263
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: you again.

264
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 5: I'll see you again.

265
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Of course you're only human.

266
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: Those long pauses of sexual tension. What you're thinking twenty

267
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: second pause, not much you think about.

268
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what happened? Yeah, was then so we took

269
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: up mics off, and then we like went into the

270
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: bit outside and then we started getting with each other.

271
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: But then we both you see, such good kiss, unbelievably

272
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: good kiss. But he also says I'm an amazing kisser,

273
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: which is so nice.

274
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: I love that I'm a great kiss I really myself.

275
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, be in prison.

276
00:13:59,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Maybe.

277
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: How can you be bad at kissing? You've never listened.

278
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: You've never listened, that's literally it is. And you also

279
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: have no instinct because kissing is all about instinct. Is

280
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: that you just like received you know what I mean,

281
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: You're just like it's two people anyway, So we were

282
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: like kissing. It was so fucking hot, and then we

283
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: both had plans somewhere to go and then but I

284
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: got his number and then he left and then I

285
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: was like a bit drunk. We had like three drinks.

286
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: So I texted him like, you're really fair, I want

287
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: to see you again.

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: He was like it was.

289
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: Actually the most you've actually said that entire day.

290
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: And then he was like you're already, Like when can

291
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: I see you? And I was like, well, what are

292
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: you doing later tonight? Like I had a dinner and

293
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: then he came around and yeah, and then we had

294
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: amazing sex. Oh I shagged the last date we shagged.

295
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: We got with each other like there and then.

296
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: But sometimes that's nice though, sometimes has to step into

297
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: a date and be there like oh we're sucking.

298
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: But it's it's a challenging process because then you're like

299
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: you're in a relationship, but it's also fine. But as

300
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: it's like happened since, it's actually been so nice for

301
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: me because I really like hanging out with someone knowing

302
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: that there's never going to be any pressure of like

303
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: what is this.

304
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: Ye yeah, because I was like dating doesn't have to

305
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: be defined love exactly, connection exactly. Because I had this

306
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: thing like I was out recently and it's like dirty

307
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: little gay bar, like so grubby, and there was this

308
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: guy like looking at me, like giving me the eye,

309
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: but he was with another man, And for some reason

310
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: in my head, when I see that, I narrate being

311
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: like always with someone, I don't think, oh, in the

312
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: queer world, it could be like maybe a three, so

313
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: maybe they're open. Maybe it's not with them, Like I

314
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: shut it down because I narrate the fact that like, oh,

315
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: it's not a possibility. But then this guy like kept

316
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: looking at me, and at one point he came over

317
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: and we got each other, and I was like, oh,

318
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: it's funny how I like shut these things down by

319
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: being like, oh, this would never work. The guy did

320
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: also message me being there like I might have gone

321
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: to throw it's.

322
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: Hand stecked out.

323
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: Oh thank god, because you know life is good, live, left,

324
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: love love. The worst part I having gone Reea is

325
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: learning how to spell gonnery when textperies to.

326
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: Say possible, it's arif you have to google it every

327
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: time and is right, gone girl, gone gone, I'm gone.

328
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I've got gone, get yourself checked. Gone girl.

329
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: But but no, it's nice to step into something and

330
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: know it is what it is and you.

331
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: Know what it is. I think that's what's been really

332
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: nice because I feel like my issue in the past

333
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: has always been like either things accelerate way too fast

334
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: and I encourage that and often I'm the source of that,

335
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: or I get really really freaked out because I'm like,

336
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: oh my god, I feel like so much pressure of

337
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: like are we gonna is this gonna like accelerate and

338
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: suddenly we're gonna be together? Or like am I going

339
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: to like put them off? But there's zero pressure on

340
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: the situation. And he's very like open and honest about

341
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: like his relationship and it sort of seems like all fine,

342
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: but we like get on and like have a good

343
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: time together. And it's really nice because when he leaves,

344
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm not like thinking, oh, when I next and speak

345
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: to him when I'm next going to see him, because

346
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: I know that's not what the situation is.

347
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you've found the thing that is in your life

348
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: right now.

349
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: It's teaching me something. At the moment, I can't quite

350
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: like articulate what it is, but I feel like it's

351
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: meant to have happened.

352
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: Wow, spiritual, so spiritual. I was supposed to be dicked

353
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: down by this guy in an open relationship. Thank you, Universe,

354
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: Thank you.

355
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 2: I manifested after twenty seven dates.

356
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: Twenty seven dates. I don't think I've been on twenty

357
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: seven dates my entire life.

358
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: It was a really nice way to end because you know,

359
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: like I've already said, it's a nice thing for me

360
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: because at the moment, I don't know really what is

361
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking for in general, Like I feel super confused

362
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: about whether or not I want to commit to someone

363
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: again just yet. I still feel like I have more

364
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: work to do on myself. But I feel like this

365
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: is a really good sign because I'm challenging myself by

366
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: going on dates and like shagging someone who's like in

367
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: an ethically non monogous relationship. That's a challenge, but I'm

368
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: actually like really enjoying it and I'm not finding it

369
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: difficult in anyway, and it's making me think about maybe

370
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: me being able to do that one.

371
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was interesting as well. I'd go

372
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: on dates to different types of people to expand that

373
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: scope as well, to be like, oh, really normally go

374
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: for this person, but let me see, because sometimes I

375
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: think dating is like you bringing your life and someone

376
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: brings someone out's life experience together. And if you're constantly

377
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: going with someone who's like quite similar to you or

378
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: like the same sort of jobs or whatever, like they're

379
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 3: not bringing a whole fresh experience to your life. And

380
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: I think that sometimes there's the beauty of dating and

381
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: connecting with people as you've been like I've never experienced that,

382
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: or like I didn't know that was a thing, or

383
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: it's oh it's gorgeous, actual passion or do.

384
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean like yeah, it opens your mind up and

385
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: very like it's enriching. It is enriching. And I always

386
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: think like every experience you have, like every day everyone

387
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: likes sound whatever, you always get something from it, whether

388
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: it's a story or like whether they play a song

389
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 2: and you're like, well that, what's that song? And then

390
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I've got a really good song out

391
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: like meeting this person, Like I always get something like

392
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: whenever I have a one night sound, I always get

393
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: like one kind of like thing that I'll like have forever,

394
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: like from my experience, and it doesn't have to be

395
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: like the love.

396
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: Of my life.

397
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: So I know it's been trials and tribulations, ups and

398
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: downs and like quite intense at points to date so

399
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: many people, but like, have you enjoyed it?

400
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: Well, firstly, thank you for helping me, you know, make

401
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: sense of a lot of it and making it fun

402
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: and bringing you know, like a fun side to it,

403
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: because some of it's been really quit it's tenuous.

404
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: The word like yeah, yeah, that's the best thing about dating, right,

405
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: is like be able to chat to your mate about it, well.

406
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: Exactly, It's like that's almost the funnest part about dating

407
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: is then being able to go and debrief the day.

408
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: Like I always feel like when I go on a

409
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: date and then the next day I don't have time

410
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 2: to send a voice note to the girls, I'm like, fuck,

411
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: I can't forget. I have to tell them like everything

412
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: that happened. I've enjoyed the process. I feel like I've

413
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: learned a lot from the process. At the beginning, I

414
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: was skeptical because I didn't think I was going to

415
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: like meet the love of my life through this process,

416
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: But I've learned so much about myself even through talking

417
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: to so many different people about dating relationships. I've learned

418
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: so much about where my tapestry emotionally has left me

419
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: at this point, and actually how I have to rebuild

420
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: a lot more stuff to get into a healthy place

421
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: with relationships. And what's been really cool is like exploring

422
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: all these different types of relationships, thinking about ways I

423
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: could trust people in the future without it just being

424
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: an a monogamous relationship. So it's been very enriching for me.

425
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: I'm really happy that it's over, but I'm happy that

426
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: I've met some of these people, and some of the

427
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: dates were like people that I'm sure I'll see again.

428
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah you hang out again.

429
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

430
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: I think there's definitely something like gems in there. There's

431
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: some gems and there's some absolutely seeming flaming parts of turns.

432
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well listen, I got three hours seat

433
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: last night because I was shagging. There we go number

434
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: twenty eight.

435
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: And the thing is when he first originally came to

436
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: this production company. You're like, I want to make a podcast,

437
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: and beneath that you were like, I just need them

438
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 3: to help me fox them up.

439
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And actually I got some really good sex out

440
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: of this.

441
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: And that's at the end of the day. Who goes

442
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: back creating anything else?

443
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,840

Speaker 2: it's finished and she's a full blown slot.
