<v Speaker 2>This show contains adult material and swearing. You have been warned.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 3>The worst part I haven't gone is learning how to

<v Speaker 3>spell goner to.

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.760

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>it every time.

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:23.639

<v Speaker 2>Are you bored of modern dating? Meeting the same people

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>from the same apps in the same bar You've only

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>chosen because it's close to your house and you can

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 2>make your usual quick getaway. It's time to change the

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>narrative on how we find love. It's time to start

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>looking for love in all the wrong places. I'm going

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>on a wild dating adventure, only picking people who are

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the total opposite of my type. And after twenty eight

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>of these dates in two months, will I find that

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 2>special someone?

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Or well?

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 2>This experiment proved that I should just give up on

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>dating altogether. It's time to find out. I'm Grace Campbell

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>and this is twenty eight dates later. Hello, Dan, Hi,

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>it's the final Ar's the final day.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a final day.

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I did my final day.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I'm excited.

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Are you feeling nourished? Are you feeling sexy? Are you

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:31.279
<v Speaker 3>feeling alive.

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I am, I'm feeling alive. Hey, Sason killing me, but

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling I'm pumped. I'm pumped.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Baby killing me?

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 4>Do?

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I find out recently that apparently it's because all the

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 3>trees that we have in this country are like male trees.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>So I didn't want to plant female trees because they

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 3>bear fruit and that's free fruit, but also like rotten fruit.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>So this means it's just got like heavy.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>It was just like loads of spunk, like mother has

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 3>boukaqui and as constantly and it's.

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Like it's in my eye. I know it is in

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>my eye and in my nose, in my mouth.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is male trees. But also the craziest story

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>just really quickly that I have to tell you, So,

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>there is a male crow in my area that's attacking women.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>So it's been going around like on the WhatsApp groups

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>like for my area, like there's this crow attacking women

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>with long hair. So I was like, cool, I'll be fine,

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I haven't got long hair. And then last week I

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>was walking along the street like looking real nice, like

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I had like cowboy boots on, like really nice trousers,

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 2>walking along and then this crow just like attacks my head. No,

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and then I started screaming. It didn't like bite me,

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 2>It just like banged on my head flew away, right,

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>So I was like screaming and there was who traffic

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>down for people watching me, and everyone was watching and

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my god, did you see that

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>to all the people in the cars. And then this

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 2>guy goes He's coming back for you, and so I

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>ran away from it, tripped, fell into the road in

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 2>front of the traffic, and then the crow was just

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 2>attacking my head. How in same is that that is?

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Actually it's the male trees and the male crows are

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>just trying to fuck us up.

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Damn it.

0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 3>I owe that chrome money now A final day.

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Final day. Okay. So this guy, so he is a songwriter.

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>A musician. He's in music.

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I love music as well, like actually, like

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I love music popular opinion. But I'm like obsessed with music,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Like I listened to music all the time. It's so random. No,

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm crazy.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm a crazy girl.

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Crazy girl. So I've previously dated a lot of musicians

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 2>and it's clearly not gone well for me because I'm

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>here making this podcast. So I thought musician days were

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>in the past for me. But have you looked at

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.280

<v Speaker 3>Jesus Christ is the body, his body is given believable.

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he's like a Greek statue.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 3>It's made me feel like I'm cosplaying Roll Dahl writing

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 3>a book and a share.

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 2>No. I showed my like male friends him the other

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 2>day and they were like, he is an honest honestly.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>The second I saw so, I was so unprepared of

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>him being that pang. And like then he came and

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>he was so pung. I didn't have any makeup on.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I looked insane. I'd been walking for two hours. It

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>was really hot, I'd been walking the dog. I was

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to close my rings on an Apple watch, and

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>so I just looked mad. And he came in and

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I was sat on the floor on the phone to

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>my friend who was having an argument with her boyfriend.

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Like when he walked in, and.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 6>Then the second he sat down opposite me, I was like,

<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, songwriter musicians love me.

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 1>It's really interesting.

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why.

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 5>I think I've think I've been on with two comedians.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Really, that's interesting. Get over them.

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 5>Why I'm sure it was them and not the profession.

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Well we are obviously they were probably really bad comedians.

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 5>Are a really good comedian.

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm a very good exquisite. First of all, this is

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 2>please So this is like so funny because he claims

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>that he's never like looked me up, which I obviously

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>do not believe. I don't believe it for a second.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>But like he basically before he had decided to come

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>on the date for the podcast, he mentioned it to

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>one of his friends and he was like, Oh, I've

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>been asked to do this thing with this girl called Grace.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And then the girl was like, oh my god, Grace Gamble.

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And it turns out she went to my school, but

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>was a few years above me, and she was like,

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, you should definitely do it, like she's really funny.

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>But then he claims that even then he didn't like

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>look me up. I mean, don't believe it. What's your

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>content in my comedy sets? Relationships? My dog took about

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>my dog a lot on them. She's just been on heat,

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>so it's given me quite a lot of comedy. She

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>actually the other day she sat on a dog's face

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 2>in the pub and then squatted all.

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Over his face.

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you want another drink?

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 5>Is that your vibe?

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like, she's obviously seen me do that, and

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I was copying me.

<v Speaker 3>the end game, yeah, stepping it strongly.

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>And I saw like the second we started speaking, I

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 2>was like, we have to have sex, and I really

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.200

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk about my dog square in another

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>dog's face.

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 3>But wait, just break that down because like what you

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 3>want about the dogs square?

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Eddie squirted on a dog's face.

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Wait can dog square?

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Well apparently yeah, I googled it. It's like, you know,

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 2>a cat spray, Like it's like that, right, And it

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 2>smelled just like squirt, which does not smell like piss,

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>by the way, because as I always say, nobody has

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 2>a baroka and then squirts and squirts baraka. But that's

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 2>what I say to all the people that say squire's

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>piss scientists, all the scientists and the doctor's other let

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:22.719
<v Speaker 2>me tell you that do the.

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Baroc Wait, so it was a sexual Squirre was like.

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 2>So she was on heat and she was really horny,

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 2>and she met this dog and they were playing, and

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 2>then she got really aroused and then she mounted the

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>dog's head, is like humping the dog's face, and then

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>sprayed all this liquid. It was like our pub right, wow,

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 2>sprayles liquid. So I picked her up and then she's

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 2>like humping the an sprayed this liquid all over the

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 2>guy opposite me. Oh, it was so embarrassing, like one

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.599
<v Speaker 2>of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to me.

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I was so angry at her. The rest of the

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>day was I know I felt about she after her

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 2>first organism, just fell sleep before I did not wake

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>up in this pub, did not wake up.

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Relatable queen. I'm always there, Like, you better make sure you.

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Come before I do, because as soon as I do,

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a coma.

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Really actually normally it's me. It takes longer. So God

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>bless everyone's soul and whole that's been with me.

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 3>But like I am, I hate that thing where like

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 3>you've come and then you've got to make them come

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 3>and you're just say like this is I didn't realize

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 3>this was like the Lord of the Rings trilogy directors

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 3>cut No.

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>But that's the literally story of my life because I

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>always come within the first thirty seconds of sex. Like

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>it's so fucking embarrassing, Like I come so fast, but

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind it because I'll usually come again, like

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>come again, I always do, but I always come quite

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>quickly and then have to be like, okay, I can

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>munster up the energy and though I'd really like to

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>just have a sleep.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean I live.

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 3>And that segment was for all of our listeners into

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 3>beat reality. Yeah, dogs can square.

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>The other thing, which I guess during this process, like

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that I've done a lot that's

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 2>challenged myself is gone dates with people who are like

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 2>open or like ethically not monogamous or like moneyamous or whatever.

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>And I've obviously never really like ventured into any of that.

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>So I because I'd been told before that he was

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 2>in like an ethically non monogamous relationship, but then when

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>he came and I was so attracted to him, I

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh fuck, but he's got a girlfriend. Yeah,

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and we spoke about her. Are you in an open relationship?

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 2>It started, Yeah, we discussed it.

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.079
<v Speaker 5>We both were on the same page of what we

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 5>were looking for, so it made sense. And then okay,

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 5>we fell in love and then continued going on.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Cool. Yeah, in a way I was really it was

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of cool, Like I did it. It wasn't I did.

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Like as long as like everybody involved is fine with it.

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I was like, this is kind of.

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Chill, yeah, because it shows someone has it's like an

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 3>evolved state of being. Like if you can be non monogamous,

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 3>it means that like you surely have good communication skills,

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 3>They surely trust there. It's a very modern way of being,

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.839
<v Speaker 3>which is, like I think, really positive.

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's challenging as well because for me, like all

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 2>of my relationships in the past have been like monogamous,

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and so when I'm sitting there opposite someone and I'm like,

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to fuck you so much, like the eye

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 2>contact was just insane.

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I can hear the dripp between your legs.

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, for most of the day was actually we weren't

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 2>really speaking. We were like just looking at each other

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and like laughing.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 5>Like, yes, say something, then.

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Concentrate.

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, excuse me, what are you thinking?

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Nothing, life. No, You're a really good one to end

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>with that, because you're like I would, I would see

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you again.

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 5>I'll see you again.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course you're only human.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Those long pauses of sexual tension. What you're thinking twenty

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 3>second pause, not much you think about.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So what happened? Yeah, was then so we took

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>up mics off, and then we like went into the

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>bit outside and then we started getting with each other.

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 2>But then we both you see, such good kiss, unbelievably

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>good kiss. But he also says I'm an amazing kisser,

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 2>which is so nice.

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I love that I'm a great kiss I really myself.

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, be in prison.

0:13:59.640 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 2>How can you be bad at kissing? You've never listened.

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 2>You've never listened, that's literally it is. And you also

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>have no instinct because kissing is all about instinct. Is

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>that you just like received you know what I mean,

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 2>You're just like it's two people anyway, So we were

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.959
<v Speaker 2>like kissing. It was so fucking hot, and then we

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>both had plans somewhere to go and then but I

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 2>got his number and then he left and then I

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 2>was like a bit drunk. We had like three drinks.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>So I texted him like, you're really fair, I want

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to see you again.

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>He was like it was.

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Actually the most you've actually said that entire day.

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 2>And then he was like you're already, Like when can

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I see you? And I was like, well, what are

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you doing later tonight? Like I had a dinner and

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>then he came around and yeah, and then we had

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>amazing sex. Oh I shagged the last date we shagged.

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 2>We got with each other like there and then.

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 3>But sometimes that's nice though, sometimes has to step into

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 3>a date and be there like oh we're sucking.

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's a challenging process because then you're like

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>you're in a relationship, but it's also fine. But as

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 2>it's like happened since, it's actually been so nice for

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>me because I really like hanging out with someone knowing

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that there's never going to be any pressure of like

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 2>what is this.

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Ye yeah, because I was like dating doesn't have to

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 3>be defined love exactly, connection exactly. Because I had this

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 3>thing like I was out recently and it's like dirty

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 3>little gay bar, like so grubby, and there was this

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 3>guy like looking at me, like giving me the eye,

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 3>but he was with another man, And for some reason

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 3>in my head, when I see that, I narrate being

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 3>like always with someone, I don't think, oh, in the

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 3>queer world, it could be like maybe a three, so

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 3>maybe they're open. Maybe it's not with them, Like I

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 3>shut it down because I narrate the fact that like, oh,

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 3>it's not a possibility. But then this guy like kept

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 3>looking at me, and at one point he came over

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 3>and we got each other, and I was like, oh,

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 3>it's funny how I like shut these things down by

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 3>being like, oh, this would never work. The guy did

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 3>also message me being there like I might have gone

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 3>to throw it's.

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Hand stecked out.

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank god, because you know life is good, live, left,

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 3>love love. The worst part I having gone Reea is

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 3>learning how to spell gonnery when textperies to.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Say possible, it's arif you have to google it every

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>time and is right, gone girl, gone gone, I'm gone.

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got gone, get yourself checked. Gone girl.

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 3>But but no, it's nice to step into something and

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 3>know it is what it is and you.

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Know what it is. I think that's what's been really

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 2>nice because I feel like my issue in the past

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 2>has always been like either things accelerate way too fast

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 2>and I encourage that and often I'm the source of that,

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>or I get really really freaked out because I'm like,

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, I feel like so much pressure of

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 2>like are we gonna is this gonna like accelerate and

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 2>suddenly we're gonna be together? Or like am I going

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to like put them off? But there's zero pressure on

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the situation. And he's very like open and honest about

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 2>like his relationship and it sort of seems like all fine,

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>but we like get on and like have a good

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>time together. And it's really nice because when he leaves,

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not like thinking, oh, when I next and speak

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>to him when I'm next going to see him, because

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I know that's not what the situation is.

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you've found the thing that is in your life

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>right now.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>It's teaching me something. At the moment, I can't quite

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 2>like articulate what it is, but I feel like it's

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>meant to have happened.

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow, spiritual, so spiritual. I was supposed to be dicked

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>down by this guy in an open relationship. Thank you, Universe,

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I manifested after twenty seven dates.

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 3>Twenty seven dates. I don't think I've been on twenty

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 3>seven dates my entire life.

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>It was a really nice way to end because you know,

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 2>like I've already said, it's a nice thing for me

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 2>because at the moment, I don't know really what is

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking for in general, Like I feel super confused

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 2>about whether or not I want to commit to someone

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>again just yet. I still feel like I have more

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>work to do on myself. But I feel like this

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.680
<v Speaker 2>is a really good sign because I'm challenging myself by

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 2>going on dates and like shagging someone who's like in

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 2>an ethically non monogous relationship. That's a challenge, but I'm

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>actually like really enjoying it and I'm not finding it

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 2>difficult in anyway, and it's making me think about maybe

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.000
<v Speaker 2>me being able to do that one.

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that was interesting as well. I'd go

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 3>on dates to different types of people to expand that

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 3>scope as well, to be like, oh, really normally go

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 3>for this person, but let me see, because sometimes I

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 3>think dating is like you bringing your life and someone

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 3>brings someone out's life experience together. And if you're constantly

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 3>going with someone who's like quite similar to you or

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 3>like the same sort of jobs or whatever, like they're

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.439
<v Speaker 3>not bringing a whole fresh experience to your life. And

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 3>I think that sometimes there's the beauty of dating and

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 3>connecting with people as you've been like I've never experienced that,

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 3>or like I didn't know that was a thing, or

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 3>it's oh it's gorgeous, actual passion or do.

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean like yeah, it opens your mind up and

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 2>very like it's enriching. It is enriching. And I always

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 2>think like every experience you have, like every day everyone

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>likes sound whatever, you always get something from it, whether

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 2>it's a story or like whether they play a song

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:39.719
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, well that, what's that song? And then

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, I've got a really good song out

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 2>like meeting this person, Like I always get something like

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>whenever I have a one night sound, I always get

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 2>like one kind of like thing that I'll like have forever,

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:49.919
<v Speaker 2>like from my experience, and it doesn't have to be

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 2>like the love.

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Of my life.

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.199
<v Speaker 3>So I know it's been trials and tribulations, ups and

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 3>downs and like quite intense at points to date so

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 3>many people, but like, have you enjoyed it?

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, firstly, thank you for helping me, you know, make

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 2>sense of a lot of it and making it fun

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 2>and bringing you know, like a fun side to it,

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 2>because some of it's been really quit it's tenuous.

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 3>The word like yeah, yeah, that's the best thing about dating, right,

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 3>is like be able to chat to your mate about it, well.

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, It's like that's almost the funnest part about dating

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 2>is then being able to go and debrief the day.

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Like I always feel like when I go on a

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 2>date and then the next day I don't have time

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to send a voice note to the girls, I'm like, fuck,

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't forget. I have to tell them like everything

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 2>that happened. I've enjoyed the process. I feel like I've

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 2>learned a lot from the process. At the beginning, I

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 2>was skeptical because I didn't think I was going to

0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 2>like meet the love of my life through this process,

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 2>But I've learned so much about myself even through talking

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>to so many different people about dating relationships. I've learned

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 2>so much about where my tapestry emotionally has left me

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 2>at this point, and actually how I have to rebuild

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot more stuff to get into a healthy place

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>with relationships. And what's been really cool is like exploring

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 2>all these different types of relationships, thinking about ways I

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>could trust people in the future without it just being

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 2>an a monogamous relationship. So it's been very enriching for me.

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm really happy that it's over, but I'm happy that

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I've met some of these people, and some of the

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 2>dates were like people that I'm sure I'll see again.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you hang out again.

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I think there's definitely something like gems in there. There's

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 3>some gems and there's some absolutely seeming flaming parts of turns.

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well listen, I got three hours seat

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>last night because I was shagging. There we go number

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:34.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.680
<v Speaker 3>And the thing is when he first originally came to

<v Speaker 3>this production company. You're like, I want to make a podcast,

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 3>and beneath that you were like, I just need them

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:42.479
<v Speaker 3>to help me fox them up.

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And actually I got some really good sex out

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 2>of this.

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And that's at the end of the day. Who goes

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.240

0:20:58.800 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 1>working in the mind.

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 2>When it started, she was about that big and now

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it's finished and she's a full blown slot.

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.399

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 3>be proud of you.
