00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: a mistaken identity? I have.

88
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: Chris and I were out for dinner one night at

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: this really nice restaurant, and across the room I was

90
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: convinced that I saw this girl that I used to

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: dance with Scottish dancing with and you do like Jewan

92
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: saws it no no, no no, But this girl was

93
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: like she was a dynasty of dancing family. She was

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: ninety night. She was like the poster girl for dancing.

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: She was a sensational dancer. And I always she was

96
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: like of dance, like her parents danced, her grandmother danced

97
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: and judged like they were the dancing family. Anyway, I

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: thought i'd seen.

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: The decoss of the dance fld exactly.

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it was. And so I hadn't seen

101
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: her for about twenty years at this point, like ages

102
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: since we.

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: As soon as you saw it with the way those

104
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: feet moved.

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: But you know when you see someone this might have

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 4: been the same for you with your pretend Koshi, like

107
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: it's her, like it's the doppel ganger. It was curious anyway,

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 4: so much so I said all through the entree and

109
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: then up to when our main course came, I said

110
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 4: to Chris, I'm going up to her because I am

111
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: convinced that is Karen. Only she hasn't seen me, because

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 4: she's like over the other is like please don't, please don't,

113
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: it's probably.

114
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: Not dancing royalty. Chris.

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: Anyway, I was, I was so convinced it was her.

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 4: She got up and went to the bathroom and I

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: said to Chris, I'm going to go and ask her husband.

118
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: He said, please don't. I said, no, I am, because

119
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: then if I make a fool of myself and it's

120
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: not her, well, it's kind of like half half embarrassment

121
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 4: because she's not sitting at the table.

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: If that makes it's not paint of embarrassing, that's right,

123
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: that's right.

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: Anyway, so and over and I just said, I do

125
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: excuse me, but that's obviously and I said her name

126
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: and he said no, and he just looked at me blankly,

127
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 4: like I was some sort of crazed woman. I said, no,

128
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: I think that that is her, and he goes, no,

129
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: it's not. I said, I do beg your pardon. I'll

130
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: leave you to your dessert, and sort of back.

131
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: Is that dance?

132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: No?

133
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 6: No? No?

134
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: Is that I didn't ask you again? You have to

135
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: say this because you probably get this all the time.

136
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: Is it though a whispering? Now? Is it the former

137
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: dynasty of dance?

138
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: It is I.

139
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: And I had to crawl back to the table with

140
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: the tail between my legs. It was seriously, this was

141
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 4: it was her twin. It was insane. No, it was

142
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: like someone had cloned her and it was Karen.

143
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: It was so like, Robbie, is is this some kid

144
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 3: from school?

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: You did Island Dance and Jack and I went well,

146
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: And what an amazing story that would have been if

147
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: it actually was.

148
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Imagine you sat in the same restaurant.

149
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: God, what are time to be a live Pinch me, Chris,

150
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: pinch me.

151
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: It was insane. But it's that embarrassment, It's that humiliation

152
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: of you're so convinced, you're incensed that it's that person,

153
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: and then.

154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: It's the whole weekend. I've been cringing and thought that

155
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 2: made up conversation with that fake David Ber.

156
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Christian O Carl Show podcast.

196
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: I just don't retain that information, so you end up

197
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 5: faking it as you do. So I'm walking home from

198
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: the station one day and the sky pulls up and

199
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 5: he said hey, and I said hey. He said, do

200
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 5: you want a lift? And I'm thinking this could be

201
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 5: my one of my son's schoolmates dads or something. I

202
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 5: don't want to offend him, so I said yeah, and

203
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: I jumped in and we pulled out and he looks

204
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: at me and does a double take and said, ah,

205
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: I thought you were someone else.

206
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 3: What a good situation you're both now me too?

207

208
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: No, he gave me a lift home. Apparently I lived

209
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: just around the corner.

210
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,160
