Speaker 3: Friend, not great, He's thinking I'm mentally ill.
Speaker 2: Around me, I'm a savage. Are you bored of modern dating?
Speaker 1: Meeting the same people from the same apps in the
Speaker 1: same bar You've only chosen because it's close to your
Speaker 1: house and you can make your usual quick getaway. It's
Speaker 1: time to change the narrative on how we find love.
Speaker 1: It's time to start looking for love in all the
Speaker 1: wrong places. I'm going on a wild dating adventure, only
Speaker 1: picking people who are the total opposite of my type.
Speaker 1: And after twenty eight of these dates in two months,
Speaker 1: will I find that special someone? Or well, this experiment
Speaker 1: proved I should just give up on dating altogether.
Speaker 2: It's time to find out.
Speaker 1: I'm Grace Campbell and this is twenty eight dates later.
Speaker 2: Dan, Welcome to the twenty eight dates later.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Who are you? And what do you do with your life?
Speaker 3: Okay, you sound out my therapist. I am done. I'm done.
Speaker 3: Why Daniel Patrick Francis, Why.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know those your middle names.
Speaker 3: Yeah they are. And I am a comedian. I work
Speaker 3: mainly in like comedy cabaret. I have a drag character
Speaker 3: called Seance where I do like a comedy seance, I
Speaker 3: contact the dead. But then I was sorted to stand
Speaker 3: up with myself. I'm six foot four and a half.
Speaker 3: I like long walks from the beach and long dicks
Speaker 3: in my mouth. Yeah, I'm here looking for love in
Speaker 3: all the wrong places. How would you introduce.
Speaker 1: Me someone who's like on and off bullied me since
Speaker 1: I was like eighty years old. Yeah, rarely says a
Speaker 1: nice thing about me, but like one of my favorite
Speaker 1: people in the world because I'm toxic, So that's perfect.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love the abuse.
Speaker 3: I love the abuse. I actually do really want to
Speaker 3: know who you want on a date with This week.
Speaker 1: This week I went on a date with a man, well,
Speaker 1: with a man who's becoming a therapist. Okay, with a
Speaker 1: man who's training to be a therapist. And there are
Speaker 1: some benefits in my head of going out with a
Speaker 1: therapist because of how much money I've paid for therapy
Speaker 1: in my life, of course, and it would be economical,
Speaker 1: but also I I worry that going out with a therapist,
Speaker 1: they're either over therapizing you or you think they're not,
Speaker 1: and then therefore you think they're about therapists.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because I guess it's like, so, how much
Speaker 3: is someone's job like bleed into your relationship and how
Speaker 3: much should that happen? Do I mean, like, I mean, it's.
Speaker 1: Like card as a therapist. If you're dating like someone
Speaker 1: like us.
Speaker 3: Well, it's like if I date a carpenter, you are
Speaker 3: making me a table exactly. I'm dating a builder, you're
Speaker 3: putting up the shelves. Yeah, I just don't do hard labor.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: I just think a lot of therapists have had some
Speaker 2: deep trauma.
Speaker 3: But how do you know that, because you can't ask
Speaker 3: therapists that.
Speaker 2: No, because I know a lot of therapists.
Speaker 1: And so it's like to do to start wanting to
Speaker 1: be a therapist, often something's happened to you where you
Speaker 1: have then benefited from therapy. And so actually this is
Speaker 1: a really interesting job for me. And to be an analyst,
Speaker 1: like in the Freudian like way of therapy, you have
Speaker 1: to do analysis five times a week. So an analyst
Speaker 1: also sees an analyst five times a week.
Speaker 3: How much money would you pay to hear what your
Speaker 3: therapist says about you?
Speaker 2: A lot, a lot of them. I think about it often.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I think when I'm talking that he's just sat there,
Speaker 3: like with his little notebook and he's just writing danis
Speaker 3: so fair, danis so fair, over and over again. You know, like,
Speaker 3: what was it like red Rams. It's like that he's
Speaker 3: just writing downs Denis.
Speaker 1: I feel, No, he's probably just writing, well, must must
Speaker 1: buy eggs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so rare beans, must buy beans?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Why does this pathetic bitch think they shouldn't be
Speaker 3: single all the time? And they hear what comes out
Speaker 3: of their mouths?
Speaker 2: Yeah, to a therapist, we must sound so self involved.
Speaker 3: Well that's what you pay them for.
Speaker 2: No, I know, but I sometimes get conscious of it,
Speaker 2: but then I'm like, no, I carry on. Okay. So
Speaker 2: it was a man called Jacob.
Speaker 1: I think the only bitch I saw before I met
Speaker 1: him was the one of him with like goggles on
Speaker 1: his head and no top on this one.
Speaker 2: Oh they're not googles. Yeah, that was the only one
Speaker 2: I saw.
Speaker 3: I mean you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a good looking, great bone structure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got really good bone structure. Yeah, jaw yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he was very good looking.
Speaker 3: But sometimes I just wish I had a bad jaw,
Speaker 3: Like sometimes I think I'm a mussive because I've got
Speaker 3: a pouch under my fucking chin.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 3: What's the more superil baby, David Bough, I'm so sorry
Speaker 3: for this. Like a kangaroo.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh okay, okay. So he didn't have a pouch
Speaker 2: under his gym.
Speaker 1: He had like a really really well structured face, very
Speaker 1: slim looking face.
Speaker 3: Like slim in a hot like rock and roll way.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Like have you watched Daisy Jones and
Speaker 1: the six okay, like the main guy and that has
Speaker 1: a tight face.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, literally like like.
Speaker 3: Sickly Victorian child, but make it poorn.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, No, literally, I'll come on your face.
Speaker 3: Don't come up there, mother, is that allow us to
Speaker 3: come up there? But I'll come on your face.
Speaker 2: He actually looked quite Victorian, this guy.
Speaker 3: He does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does look quite Victorian. But you're training to
Speaker 2: be a therapist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to be a therapist.
Speaker 2: What kind of therapy?
Speaker 3: Psychotherapy, counseling, that sort of thing. So listening to people.
Speaker 2: That's cool. What made you want to do that.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, yeah, I had therapy myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, so is the trajectory.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean for me, I had like like nineteen,
Speaker 4: had big old depressive breakdown, had a year off UNI right,
Speaker 4: therapy was great. I'm twenty eight, yes, god quite young.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you will be a therapist when you're thirty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a plan.
Speaker 2: Do you think people will be like you're a bit
Speaker 2: young to give me therapy?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Potentially.
Speaker 1: Don't you think though, if my therapist was thirty, I'd
Speaker 1: be like, fucking.
Speaker 3: Oh my therapist was my age, I'd be like, what
Speaker 3: the fuck do you know?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, literally, I know.
Speaker 3: You're spending your weekends masturbating and crying of like watching Netflix.
Speaker 3: Don't try me with that.
Speaker 2: No, I would really be like arks.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I wouldn't pay.
Speaker 2: A thirty year old to do my therapy.
Speaker 3: Honestly.
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 3: I'm paying my therapist because of thirty year.
Speaker 2: Old exactly know what I mean? Exactly?
Speaker 3: I need it to be like an old, dumpy woman
Speaker 3: because actually my therapist is like really fit and game.
Speaker 2: How old is your therapist?
Speaker 3: I've never asked, but I'm assuming. I'm assuming maybe in
Speaker 3: his forties. I used to have a therapist who used
Speaker 3: to fall asleep in my sessions. I used to vape
Speaker 3: and then fall asleep in my session.
Speaker 2: How would you see?
Speaker 3: He was older, he was like in his sixties. I'm
Speaker 3: sat there talking about my daddy issues.
Speaker 2: Yes, man is like vaping sleep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like dad, look at this, look at this.
Speaker 2: I can do a bomb.
Speaker 3: My therapist was the caterpillar and that Alison would have loved.
Speaker 1: I sometimes feel like to be a therapist, your life
Speaker 1: is so draining that like, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: can you really give like your partner that much when
Speaker 1: you see like seven clients a day who were all
Speaker 1: like going through so much shit. I mean, I also
Speaker 1: worry if I was dating a therapist, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I'm a better therapist than you, and so you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be a therapist.
Speaker 3: But I think that is also the relationship of like
Speaker 3: the therapy relationship. And also to be fair, I say
Speaker 3: this about like a therapists, but listen more. I just
Speaker 3: told your story about my therapist vaping and falling asleep,
Speaker 3: which is like most of.
Speaker 2: My exes exactly.
Speaker 3: Just smoke and ignore me. Love that love you all,
Speaker 3: shout out all my exes love you all. Maybe one
Speaker 3: time my therapist and one needs to ape and fall asleep.
Speaker 3: He once saw me perform Sayance with his daughter and
Speaker 3: in that show I Get my balls out?
Speaker 2: Did he come like did you invite game? When I
Speaker 2: Got my balls out? He came all over you invite him?
Speaker 3: I think he kind of mentioned it and it was
Speaker 3: his daughter's birthday and I was like, yeah, sure, But
Speaker 3: like afterwards, I was like, that's actually crossing a boundary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite weird.
Speaker 3: You see my balls on stage.
Speaker 1: I've never had a therapist who like acknowledges any of
Speaker 1: my work.
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, that's a good thing, because your work is trash.
Speaker 2: What was your friendship group at school?
Speaker 3: Like my friendship group at school?
Speaker 2: Like, were you like, were you like an indie boy?
Speaker 3: Yeah? We were, like we were kind of Indian between us.
Speaker 2: It was just really popular. Really, yeah, ship. I was
Speaker 2: like the poshest girl in my year but.
Speaker 3: Was friends with everyone, right, okay.
Speaker 1: And then had like my you know, very different friendship
Speaker 1: friendship groups really, but they're also my best friends.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to kill myself.
Speaker 3: Honestly, if you had said that to me on a day,
Speaker 3: I would have walked out before you would finished the sentence,
Speaker 3: would have walked out. I was really popular. I was
Speaker 3: the poshous girl I was.
Speaker 1: I was popular for a posh girl. It's basically my point.
Speaker 1: I wasn't the most because you no. No, No, I
Speaker 1: was because the posh girls in my school were less popular.
Speaker 3: Like I had the tallest horse. My horse was taller
Speaker 3: than everyone else.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't actually tell anyone at school I had
Speaker 1: a horse, because that would have meant that I wasn't popular.
Speaker 2: I'd have put a horse in secret.
Speaker 3: That is so an essex. I love that though, because
Speaker 3: actually to do what I find those like school dynamics
Speaker 3: live forever. I was saying to my friend the other day.
Speaker 3: I was saying that because for us at school, because
Speaker 3: I was kind of like mean and popular, but in
Speaker 3: that way that I was in the closets, so I
Speaker 3: had to be mean to people so they weren't so
Speaker 3: mean to me, right, So I always hung out of
Speaker 3: like the cool, like pretty girls. Sometimes I'm jealous of
Speaker 3: people who were maybe more nerdy at school because they
Speaker 3: had like obsessions and things that they loved. Where it's like,
Speaker 3: if you were more popular, it was all about socializing.
Speaker 3: So now I grow up and I just care a
Speaker 3: lot about what other people think, because like that has
Speaker 3: been my entire evolution as a person. Like I speaking
Speaker 3: to my other friend of the dayho just had a baby,
Speaker 3: and she was so that she cares more about like
Speaker 3: what the waitress thinks in the restaurant about her being
Speaker 3: a mother than like her partner, and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, I get that.
Speaker 1: I get that as well, but I also think it's
Speaker 1: I don't think those people who also had hobbies at
Speaker 1: school were not really conscious of what people thought of them.
Speaker 3: Baby. It's like when people say the best yearsual life
Speaker 3: are at school, Are you mad?
Speaker 1: I got a war on my nose at school, right,
Speaker 1: and nobody said a rude word about it to my face,
Speaker 1: like people were so scared of you were popular? No,
Speaker 1: and nobody said anything, And I said it was a
Speaker 1: rice crispy, And then all people said was like.
Speaker 2: Oh, how's your rice crispy?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: What do you mean you said it was because it
Speaker 1: looked like a rice crispy on the end of my nose.
Speaker 1: I'm literally about to be sick anyway.
Speaker 2: So then I got the water removed. You get it
Speaker 2: from and off. If you've ever ever had a war.
Speaker 2: It's really relatable.
Speaker 3: Star.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I had one on my hand. Obviously I
Speaker 1: had gone like that. Actually that year I was playing
Speaker 1: Beatrice as well. Much Ado. Anyway, do a number five,
Speaker 1: But that's another story. So anyway, the day I went
Speaker 1: to go and get my war removed, I went and
Speaker 1: got it frozen off. It's a very standard procedure at
Speaker 1: the doctor. But I took my mum's phone afterwards, and
Speaker 1: on my mum's phone texted all of my best friends
Speaker 1: being like, really bad news and Grace's operation went really
Speaker 1: wrong and she's actually died.
Speaker 3: Shut off.
Speaker 1: And then Anna, Ella, Emily and they were all on
Speaker 1: the heath being like, oh my god, Grace is dead.
Speaker 2: Like oh my god.
Speaker 1: They're like all hang out and well Grace is dead.
Speaker 1: And then like ten minutes later, I was like, psych.
Speaker 2: What was it in die? You fucking idiots?
Speaker 3: Sorry, they were just like on the heath singing ding dong.
Speaker 3: The witch is said.
Speaker 4: I actually handed in my notice really congratulations, yeah, like
Speaker 4: last week and then what you're leaving? I'm moving back
Speaker 4: to my old company.
Speaker 3: It's very like gen Z Millennial.
Speaker 2: Everyone there is like on the thirty five nice.
Speaker 4: A lot of them my graduates.
Speaker 2: Nice, So it's very social. Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 4: Everyone knows they're living under the thumb of capitalism and
Speaker 4: they keep that aware.
Speaker 2: So I mean, you don't really look like botseritive capitalism.
Speaker 2: I could like the thumb. Yeah that's true, that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah from his daddy. You know.
Speaker 2: What, what's your.
Speaker 4: You're can ask my political the first day? Oh my days,
Speaker 4: that's a red flag.
Speaker 2: Really, I think it's.
Speaker 3: Wait, just quickly, when he says that's a red flag,
Speaker 3: is he telling you that he's a communist. I don't
Speaker 3: know why he thought there was a red flag to
Speaker 3: talk about. I mean, you don't want to be like
Speaker 3: what three months in and find out you're dating like
Speaker 3: a toy.
Speaker 1: I had a term the other day called woke fishing.
Speaker 1: Right have you heard this term? So it's basically when so.
Speaker 3: They're just putting anything in front.
Speaker 2: Of fishing no I know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So it's basically a girl that I met and
Speaker 1: she was like a sort of like she's like feminist
Speaker 1: and like quite like outspoken and stuff. And she started
Speaker 1: seeing this guy and he was like, I think it's
Speaker 1: amazing what you do. I think it's amazing that you
Speaker 1: like your blah blah, sort of making her feel like
Speaker 1: he's like on the same page as her. Then they
Speaker 1: went on holiday together and he was like, I have
Speaker 1: to tell you something.
Speaker 2: I'm a conservative.
Speaker 1: But she said that like they've been seeing each other
Speaker 1: like two months, and there was no sort of like
Speaker 1: sign of that because he'd been woke fishing her.
Speaker 2: So that was a new phrase.
Speaker 3: But then also like, how can you trust that man
Speaker 3: because he's lied to you for two months? I know,
Speaker 3: what is the basis of trust?
Speaker 2: Would you ever date a Tory because.
Speaker 3: You're political, Like it's so important how you see the world,
Speaker 3: Like if those things don't line up, then I think
Speaker 3: it's really difficult, like when there are discussions about things
Speaker 3: on different pages. I did once accidentally suck off a
Speaker 3: Tory in the park, okay, but I didn't realize that
Speaker 3: here was a Tory. I think, like I was, I
Speaker 3: was sucking him.
Speaker 2: When did you find out during?
Speaker 3: Well, it was during.
Speaker 5: Because I was sucking him off and he was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's good. Oh And I was like, okay, I'm sucking
Speaker 5: off Nigel Thornbury like it's actually disgusting, and he kept
Speaker 5: being like you naughty boy, and I was like, this
Speaker 5: is actually but then the worst part is that, like
Speaker 5: afterwards I realized that I'd been kneeling in nettles, no
Speaker 5: bitch nettles. So then I had to be like sacka
Speaker 5: jaweya and was there like, hey, can you have me
Speaker 5: find a dot leave? And we were like rubbaging for
Speaker 5: like adult leave, but he didn't even help. It is
Speaker 5: this Tory man watching me find a dot leave with
Speaker 5: common my chair.
Speaker 2: Could I get the plant burger but without fries?
Speaker 3: The fries?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, then you can have the Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 2: we'll just get the number one. Okay, thank you. It's
Speaker 2: because I'm meant to be on a diet.
Speaker 3: Why are you doing that to me?
Speaker 1: Because when I've been on tour, I've been like eating
Speaker 1: so much shit and drinking every day. So I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to like feel a bit healthier. It's not really diet,
Speaker 1: it's more like I want to be healthier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to be honest, Like I listened to
Speaker 3: that and I was like, and the award for the driest.
Speaker 2: Chat goes to Grace Campbell.
Speaker 3: Goes to Grace Campbell with the plant burger talking about
Speaker 3: how she's not gonna eat fries because she's on a diet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, make that makes me that bit makes me sound
Speaker 1: like quite dry, I'll be honest.
Speaker 3: Dry as a plant burger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dry as a plant burger, which was dry as well.
Speaker 1: And also then the chips came, and I regretted saying
Speaker 1: he could have my chips because I wanted the chips.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I'm not going to have one
Speaker 1: of his chips because it will make him think like
Speaker 1: this is more deep than it is if I have
Speaker 1: one of his chips.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually have this disease. Doctors have recently told me, well,
Speaker 3: I can't help but order a side of chips as
Speaker 3: well as the chips I get in the meal. Like
Speaker 3: that's actually a disease that I might die from.
Speaker 1: But do you know what I mean? Like if I
Speaker 1: leant over one of his chips, he'd think were like
Speaker 1: fancy was given lady in the tramp. No, it's giving
Speaker 1: like it's it's too intimate to have.
Speaker 3: It's not giving lady the tramp. It's given and give
Speaker 3: it one of.
Speaker 2: Those it's giving grabby grabby oliver twist.
Speaker 3: Yeah you got to pick a pocket or yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: You a dumper or a dumpy or a mix.
Speaker 1: No, I'm definitely more like we argue and then we're
Speaker 1: like if this isn't working, but then we talk every
Speaker 1: day for like six months after we break up.
Speaker 4: Kind of Oh right, okay, you've never had like a
Speaker 4: clean break Oh I missed a clean breakup.
Speaker 2: Really, that's why you're a therapist.
Speaker 3: Dump or dumpy. I prefer people to dump on me.
Speaker 2: Then the question what like emotionally or like with ship.
Speaker 1: Scat scat, are you the dumper or the dumpy?
Speaker 3: More so get dumped? I think I just don't want
Speaker 3: to hurt someone, so I like often wait for I
Speaker 3: don't know if I could do it, to be honest,
Speaker 3: like I think it'd be.
Speaker 2: So awkward, it's so awkward.
Speaker 3: I just don't. There's been a few times where i'veet,
Speaker 3: like just use one of those lame excuses being there
Speaker 3: like it's going for a bit of a hard time
Speaker 3: at the moment, which sometimes obviously is true, but.
Speaker 2: Like most of the time that isn't true though.
Speaker 3: I know, but like when you receive that message, you
Speaker 3: have to believe it's true or else you are going
Speaker 3: to lease.
Speaker 2: I never believe it's true when people say it.
Speaker 3: I always do.
Speaker 1: I really, I'm just because it's not a reason you
Speaker 1: can be in a bad You definitely can, but like
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm often in a really bad place. It's
Speaker 1: not ever an excuse for my poor behavior. So you
Speaker 1: normally dump no no, no, no no no. I've been very,
Speaker 1: very a lot dumped, But more recently I've had to say, like,
Speaker 1: I'm really not looking for a relationship right now, because
Speaker 1: if you've come out of a serious relationship, and often
Speaker 1: then you meet people and maybe like which I get,
Speaker 1: I've been in that place where like I want it
Speaker 1: to escalate like fast, but I'm just so not there
Speaker 1: that I have had to say, And that sort of
Speaker 1: sounds like a lie because when people say that to
Speaker 1: me in the past, like I'm really sorry, but like
Speaker 1: I can't be in the relationship right now, like I'm
Speaker 1: just not in that place because like whatever, like trauma
Speaker 1: of a past relationship whatever. I used to think it
Speaker 1: was a lie a bit like people being like I'm
Speaker 1: just in a bad place, But now because I've experienced.
Speaker 2: That, like, I really do believe it when people say that.
Speaker 3: So your flip flopping is what you're saying right now.
Speaker 1: No, because I just try and say from the get
Speaker 1: go now unless maybe we are soul mates, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if I even believe in that.
Speaker 3: Well, it's also like, all because your anxiety is pequing
Speaker 3: doesn't mean you had to think I'm my best mate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm in some really mentally bad ways, but I
Speaker 1: don't behave in some of the ways that men have
Speaker 1: tried to excuse their behavior for on their mental health
Speaker 1: in the past. I just don't love it as an excuse.
Speaker 1: Like some of my best friends are like some of
Speaker 1: the most mentally ill people in the world.
Speaker 2: Thank you, you're welcome. Not Dan thinking he's my best.
Speaker 3: Friend, not great thinking I'm mentally ill.
Speaker 1: But they would never be like I'm sorry I've been
Speaker 1: like they would never do something shitty and like it's
Speaker 1: because of my mental health, Like it's not fair.
Speaker 2: What was your ideal date?
Speaker 3: To be honest? Student comedy is Yeah, that's good. I
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: Likes a good way to measure what someone's like as well,
Speaker 1: seeing like what they find funny.
Speaker 4: And also like because I just enjoy it, I'm like, well, yeah,
Speaker 4: something funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: I do feel quite lucky as a man, to be honest,
Speaker 4: because I feel like the average woman you meet on
Speaker 4: a day is worse going to be a little too
Speaker 4: self obsess maybe a little bit too, but that's it.
Speaker 2: The problem is when.
Speaker 1: You're dating men, you're putting yourself up or going on
Speaker 1: a date with a fucking freak who likes or not
Speaker 1: even that, but like you know, this whole thing that
Speaker 1: I'm doing, it's like.
Speaker 2: You just never know what you are.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean this is definitely a good one
Speaker 1: because it's the normal conversation.
Speaker 3: Okay, So like was it a vibe? Was it flirtatious?
Speaker 3: Like was the date going?
Speaker 1: Well, the date was fine, it was like fine fit Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like a fine day. But I would say,
Speaker 1: like it's like one of those things. So you know
Speaker 1: when you're on a date and you bump into someone
Speaker 1: you know, or like you get talking to someone else
Speaker 1: and you wish you were hanging out with that other person.
Speaker 3: Do you ever have that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So like that happens to me quite a lot,
Speaker 1: to be honest, Like when I'm on date, it's is
Speaker 1: like I'll be on a day and I'll either get recognized,
Speaker 1: which obviously happens all the time because I'm really famous,
Speaker 1: or bump into someone I know, yeah, and just be
Speaker 1: like I would rather be hanging out with this person
Speaker 1: than the person I'm on a date with. And that's
Speaker 1: a sign to me that this is not a vibe.
Speaker 1: So it's not that it wasn't a vibe. But anyways,
Speaker 1: I got recognized by this woman, and she was a vibe,
Speaker 1: Like she was literally drinking like a pint of rose.
Speaker 2: She had like an Instagram account which.
Speaker 1: Was like all about how she's got like a completely
Speaker 1: pink house, like everything her house is pink. And I
Speaker 1: just loved her so much as she was absolutely like
Speaker 1: pissed and it was like two in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: And that is a classic stereotype or archetype of your
Speaker 3: fan base.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that was meant to be an insult,
Speaker 1: but it didn't work.
Speaker 3: It was an insult. I am a fan of yours.
Speaker 3: I'm also drinking a pint of rose at two o'clock.
Speaker 2: Yeah you are, and.
Speaker 3: My house is pink by house, I mean, so you're
Speaker 3: saying the highlight of your date was when your fan
Speaker 3: came and.
Speaker 2: Interrupted yeah, it was definitely the peak. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: the peak and energy.
Speaker 1: But maybe that's because I prefer the energy of women
Speaker 1: and gay men more than I do like straight men.
Speaker 1: So I think I always, even when I have a boyfriend, like,
Speaker 1: I prefer being around like my friends.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Also, why you always try and hit on me?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know. And it's also where my type is famously
Speaker 2: gay man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a straight woman. But thank you. That's a shame.
Speaker 2: He's well, maybe you should go with him.
Speaker 3: I don't want to. Okay, Well then I don't want
Speaker 3: to think about sleeping with two therapists in my life.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I thought, he was like a like
Speaker 1: a not a bad person.
Speaker 3: No, he seems like he was nice. He was not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was nice, and he seemed like a sort
Speaker 2: of like healthy person.
Speaker 3: Would you let him be a therapist?
Speaker 2: No, because I would never have a male therapist.
Speaker 3: I mean fair, that's fair. We both know that you
Speaker 3: can't go on a date with me, which is the
Speaker 3: reason that you cried.
Speaker 2: I muster, bitch, it was, but you came thinking about you.
Speaker 3: Why are you going to date of a girl I would.
Speaker 2: Like to go on a date with a girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be cute.
Speaker 2: Find me one next time. On twenty eight dates later,
Speaker 2: did his primary partner know he was going on a
Speaker 2: date with you?
Speaker 1: She did, okay, but you know, do you think she
Speaker 1: would have been intimidated by no solid solid now.
