00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: This show contains adult material, references to drugs and swearing.

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: You have been warned listen. Okay, Look, I've been shamed

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: on this before because people think I do have sexual

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: people sometimes too quickly. Sure, maybe there's some truth in

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: that three months. I do not have three months in

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: my life to spend not fucking someone that I'm spending

Speaker 2: time with me I'm a savage. Are you bored of

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: modern dating? Meeting the same people from the same apps

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: in the same bar You've only chosen because it's close

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: to your house and you can make your usual quick getaway.

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: It's time to change the narrative on how we find love.

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: It's time to start looking for love in all the

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: wrong places. I'm going on a wild dating adventure up

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: only picking people who are the total opposite of my type.

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: And after twenty eight of these dates in two months,

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: will I find that special someone or Well, this experiment

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: proved that I should just give up on dating altogether.

19
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: It's time to find out. I'm Grace Campbell and this

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: is twenty eight dates later. Dan, Yeah, do you ever?

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: You and I have the same problem, right, which is

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: because the performers we worry that first impressions first dates,

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 2: we have to be performing, and I find that quite draining.

24
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: Do you ever worry about like the conversation running draw

25
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: on a day?

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, like one of my biggest well maybe not even

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: on a date, like a fear of mine or like.

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Something that I don't understand is what do couples talk

29
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: about after like four years, five years, like even longer?

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: What do you talk But it's I guess, what do

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: you talk to your friends about after five years?

32
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: But a lot of the time you talk about.

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: Well maybe that's why lots of these couples opening up

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: their relationships, because then they have interesting stuff to talk about.

35
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I guess, and I think that, but I

36
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: think that's the future. I think like monogamy is not

37
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: the perfect thing for everybody.

38
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: So on this day I did something that I would

39
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: never do in the real world because to them, as

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: I no, I didn't. Actually, don't be so rude that

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: I did something which I would never do, because, as

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: I've already said, I hate fucking questions like this, and

43
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: I hate being asked with questions like this, and I'd

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: rather sit in silentce.

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: What did you do?

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: So I've been sent this thing online and it's like

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: thirty six questions that you should ask someone if you

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: want to fall in love with them, right, And it's

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: been like New York Times, Cosmopolitin whatever, and it's like

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: questions like, I guess, get to know someone, but to

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: see if you like have compatibility with them.

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I just don't understand the science behind questions like this,

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I think the science

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: behind falling in love is going on enough dates. I

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: mean like, if I spend enough time with somebody, I

56
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: think he's just kind of falling.

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: I think the science of really falling in love with

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: someone is chemical, to be honest, I think it's like

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: you do tell you bit.

60
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: Of care in the toilet? Yeah, I see it.

61
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: It's like now spell it is like I remember my

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: uncle said this to me when I was younger, and

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: he was like, the smell of someone is like forty

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: percent of like what you actually fall in love with.

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: There was someone I was once in love with, and

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: once I realized I wasn't in love with them anymore,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: was when I smelt his cologne in an airport and

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: didn't like the smell. And then I was like, Wow,

69
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: I think I'm over him.

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: No, but that's the smellst one's cologne. I think you're talking.

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: About that, no, because it's it's no, not at all.

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: It's the smell that you associate with them, so like

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: I guess. And also a man's colone or any perfume

74
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: whatever changes on someone's skin, so like how someone's scense smells,

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: Like if you wore this colone, it would smell different

76
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: on you to how it's spelled. My ex boyfriend, et cetera,

77
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: et cetera. That's why people try lots of different perfumes.

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Should check it out.

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: So I just wear links Africa every day and my

80
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: boys out there, Africa boys out there.

81
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: So we tried this. So this guy, his name was Michael.

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: I picked this guy because you just seem like a

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: really nice, handsome guy from his profile. But the bigger

84
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: experiment in this day was that we did something I'd

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: never normally do and it did give me the ick.

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: How are you?

87
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good?

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: How are you?

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. I didn't really know what to expect,

91
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: to be honest.

92
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair. Yeah.

00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: like we had Yeah, we had good chat and it

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: was like fun. There was just a lot of banter.

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: He did say that he'd thought from judging me that

115
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: I would have definitely not been popular at school. Wow.

116
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: I found that really really offensive.

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean that is offensive.

118
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: It is offensive considering how that he.

119
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Can sum it up so perfectly.

120
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: No, because we've already covered this, like I was so

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: popular square, I had a war on my nose and

122
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: nobody even said anything bad.

123
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: You were like the most popular posh girl. Your horse

124
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: is the biggest to get it.

125
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: If not now when? Okay, So we've been talking for

126
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: a bit, and then I was like, okay, even though

127
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: this date is actually flowing, and maybe I should have

128
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: used these questions in the one where the conversation was

129
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: a bit more stifled any of the other day one

130
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: of the more constipated dates that I've been on. But yeah,

131
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: I've been given a task, which is to use this questionaires.

132
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: I started asking him questions. So I have a list

133
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: of questions.

134
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we go.

135
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 2: Okay. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any

136
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: quality or ability, what would it be photographic memory. I'd

137
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: love to be able to speak every language in the world.

138
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: I'd love that. I just think you then get such

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: power because then you cannot hear when people are.

140
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Talking about you.

141
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: Do you hear all those stories like oh I was

142
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: in this foreign country and some guy who was talking

143
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: in another language and they were basically that a dickhead,

144
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: And then I spoke back to her.

145
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've done that. I can speak French

146
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: and I've been in France several times when people talking

147
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: about me, Like I was once on the Metro and

148
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: these girls were talking about my hair and they were

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: like making all these jokes about how like I've probably

150
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: lost loads of hair brushes, like in my hair.

151
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: Roasted.

152
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: And I was like, a good one, We'll so fuck you.

153
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: I can hear what you're saying. And then they actually

154
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: didn't even care.

155
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that is honestly one of the funniest things

156
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: that I've heard.

157
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: I actually didn't even tell that story. Probably what they

158
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: actually said was I wonder how many hair brushes are

159
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,000

00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: from work.

318
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: She was saying she's been seeing this guy two months

319
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: but they've.

320
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 5: Not even slept together.

321
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh really, it's been like.

322
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: Two months as well.

323
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: How would you date that over two months?

324
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: That is in sense, yeah, I would say if that

325
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: situation ever happens to you, don't go to a comedy

326
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: show and don't sit in the front row because it's

327
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 5: not fun.

328
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: I've seen someone and we've been together like.

329
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: Three months or something.

330
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 5: I never did anything.

331
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: And we went to this comedy show and the guy

332
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: like begged us as we ended, He's like, please go

333
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 4: on the front, like it's just we want to make

334
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: it look more full. I said, if you're not gonna right,

335
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: it's down, get to the front. Straight away picks on us.

336
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 5: And the guy I was like, Oh, have you guys

337
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: like slept together.

338
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, we've not. And he's like, oh,

339
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: that's cool.

340
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 5: How long have we've been together? Three three months?

341
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: And from there every single person went through just roasted yeah,

342
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: would you Yeah.

343
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't like comedians.

344
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: I don't like you.

345
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: I have to say, right, he's telling this story, and

346
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, maybe that's because you like didn't want to

347
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: have sex with him. Have I just offended you by

348
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: being like I would never do that. So then I

349
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: was being a bit more like nice after you told

350
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: that story of like we were on the topic of like,

351
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: you know, waiting to have sex with people, and then

352
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: I was like, but how comes you hadn't He was like, oh,

353
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: because she basically told me, like on our second date

354
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: that she didn't believe in sex before marriage, and I

355
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, that's interesting. Yea, I personally would not

356
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: then carry on day.

357
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: At least he's respecting the boundaries of it, you know,

358
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: and like obviously into the person enough to like still

359
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: be with them.

360
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: It was interesting. Listen, Okay, look, I've been shamed on

361
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: this before because people think I do have sex with

362
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: people sometimes too quickly. Sure, maybe there's some truth in

363
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: that three months. I do not have three months in

364
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: my life to spend not fucking someone that I'm spending.

365
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Time with, honestly. And also, like I always question, like

366
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: is love real? Like imagine like falling in love with

367
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: somebody and you haven't fucked them for three months, and

368
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: then when you do, the dick is dead.

369
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.

370
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Love is not real. Yeah, if the dick is dead,

371
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: then like I'm actually sorry, I don't love you anymore.

372
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. For me, most of falling

373
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: in love is about smelling sex intimacy. Yeah, so I

374
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: just can't really imagine over three months me being stimulated

375
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: enough by you if we're not having sex, because I'm

376
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: not really looking forward to seeing you because I'm not

377
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: thinking about sucking you. I'm not thinking about getting with you.

378
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: And then what kind of relationship it must be such

379
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: a different type of relationship. Yes, yeah, I guess you're right.

380
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, I guess that's a rectally true. But I

381
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: also think, like for the people that save themselves to

382
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: your marriage that first night when you're married, being like

383
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: in your thirties and having virgin sex, like having the

384
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: kind of sex that you had when we were like

385
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: six names.

386
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: They probably don't get to the peak of sex or

387
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: they're like in their fifties. Oh, because sex just gets

388
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 2: better and better and better from the first time you

389
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: have it, but it takes a long time. I didn't

390
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: start having good sex till I was like twenty five.

391
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting. Okay, So Michael sounds great. He was great,

392
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: Like I'm into him for.

393
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: You, Yep, I would see him again.

394
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: Do you think actually, like asking those magazine questions was

395
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: actually useful in work?

396
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: No, I would say doing that that part of the

397
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: day felt extremely ick to me and made me feel

398
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: like I was slightly outside of my body. But the

399
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: rest of the day it was really fun.

400
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: But it becomes an interview, becomes like it becomes not organic.

401
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: And really it felt really falced.

402
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: Wait can you remember any of the questions?

403
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: Um?

404
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: No, sorry?

405
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: Is that give us book of records? What was that

406
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: longest silence on a podcast? Oh my god, grace be won?

407
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you can't remember any of like what was?

408
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: Surely it's like.

409
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: I've been on twenty eight days, like so many of

410
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: these conversations are blurring into I am screaming, Okay, would you.

411
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: Be able to speak every language or be able to

412
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: talk to animals?

413
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I'd obviously rather be able to talk to animal, but.

414
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: Like what if they don't say much?

415
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 2: Do you know how much I would love to be

416
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,479

419
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: and I would love to know what she thinks.

420
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,480

Speaker 1: do is laugh at me. I'd love to make my

422

Speaker 1: cat laugh.

423
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: I bet you he would never laugh.

424
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: Just on purpose, and that's why I respect him.
