<v Speaker 1>getting near it into continentally, so we actually aren't in

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.640

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>We are entitled to a holiday just like you. If

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you're not having one, I'm so sorry. But in order

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>to celebrate us and you, we're going to go back

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>through our favorite moments of the party. There's been plenty,

<v Speaker 1>mind you, they get lost in the podcast sometimes, but

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>we're here to revive them.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna be talking about the sixteen three passes, a

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>dating dilemma, and I'm going to keep it real quick

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>with my arm wrestler Planet Karen Journey.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>We've spoken about session of Karen well yeah the first time.

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the first Karen ten instances since then. But yeah,

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>let's get to it Flex and Frooms. Now, I want

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to tell you a little tiny story, so if you

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>can just close your eyes and open your ears, this

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>is a story about a man and woman, which look,

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>all my stories are about that.

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I see you rolling your eyes again. During Pride Month,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>it has to start. It has to start.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So the title of this one is made a

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>really bizarre rule at the start of a relationship and

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>now regretting it. Let's get it.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you pretend you're like chill, we have

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>all ever do that that goes into your dating exactly.

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Start with high maintenance. Pretend you're just this tyrannical freak,

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and then like when they find out you're just like

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.119
<v Speaker 1>an averagely high maintenance person, it's chill. Pull it back.

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>It's easy. So here we go. My name's Amy. I'm

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>a female twenty three.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, too many details, get me three year old Amy.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Let's go two year old Amy. She has been dating

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 3>her boyfriend for three point five years. Her words.

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>At the start of the relationship, we both liked each other,

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>but weren't head over here for one another, due to

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>which we made our relationship somewhat open. The relationship at

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>the time wasn't serious, and honestly we both thought it

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't last, but would give it a shot. One rule

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 2>we decided on was that if we slept with somebody else,

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>that the other partner would get a free pass to

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>sleep around that amount of time. We made this rule

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>so that we could try our best to see if

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>this relationship works or not. In a few months, I

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 2>developed major feelings for him, as one does, and the

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>same goes for him. We never officially killed the rule. Today,

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>at dinner time, I jokingly told my boyfriend how dumb

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>we were at the start of the relationship to make

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 2>such a stupid rule. I saw him going from normal

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>to extremely frazzled within seconds. He told me that he

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>thought we were still in an open relationship and that

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I had sixteen free pass According to him, he did

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 2>nothing wrong since we didn't decide otherwise.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I've been racking them up for us.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Literally, I think he cheated since we were in a

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>committed relationship a few months in. I feel sick to

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>my stomach right now thinking of what he has done.

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>He's saying that he loves me and wants his relationship

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>to work, and that I can use my passes and

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>then we can close the relationship back up. I don't know.

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to sleep with Randos, but I also

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 2>want this relationship. But I'm also disgusted by my botriend.

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>What should I do? Does at count as cheating? I

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>love Amy?

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I'm gross out, what a feral beasts? But

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>also I love him. That's my man. I'm a stick

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>beside him.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Stick beside my feral, dirty beast. She wants to know

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 2>is this cheating? And am I okay to be disgusted

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>because she's in a position. We've all been there.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't leave me. No, no, no no. If you've

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>been there, say so.

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't actually been there either, I'm just trying.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.119
<v Speaker 1>To relate, Okay, got it.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Some people have been there where they find out that

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a partner's cheating. They are disgusted in them, absolutely foul,

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>but they still love them, and it puts you really

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 2>between a rock and a hard place. So do you

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>think was he cheating?

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>No, it's a miscommunication.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>This is a pretty diabolical miscommunication.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>What were you talking about? For three and a half years,

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>we just didn't bring it back up, Like things just

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>don't peter out. I mean, you entered the relationship with

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a very specific dynamic, right. I feel like that would

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>have been a couple of chats being like, let's just

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>be open ish, and then you were just you continued

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>being open with an extra layer of intimacy that maybe

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>made Amy think that they were monogamous, which makes a

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of sense. Is it cheating? I don't think so.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But it all goes back to if she feels it's cheating,

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>it's cheating. But I'm sure he could justify his way

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>out of it to be like no, no, no no, because

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.679
<v Speaker 1>you said we were open, So if you if it changed,

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>why didn't you tell me? I feel like right now

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>she just gotta have a conversation about like, so can

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we be close? Like do you want to just be

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>with just me? But also I think for me personally,

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to imagine what I would do. I don't

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>know if I could come back from that. It's not

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just the cheating, it's being on completely different pages. She's

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>like here being like me and my number one monogamous

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>man and laying is just us together, And he's like,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that's my amy. We date, But I'm dating Jesse and

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Becky and Shela and I love them. That tectic. I

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>would just have too many questions and answers. I don't

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>want the answers.

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 2>To I just say dump him, because if there was

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>nothing like the whole reason why open relationships exist is

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 2>for that reason they are open, open of communication. Open

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>channels of routing.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>But they're twenty What do you mean they were twenty

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>when they had this chat twenty three? They're twenty three

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>now dating for three and a half years.

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you should be able to use your

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>age as an excuse. I think she got a dump in.

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>This is flex and Rooms on KEDA.

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not every day I read or see information that

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>truly leaves me just at a loss for words. But

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>nothing rendered me speechless more than seeing a TikTok video

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of this girl documenting her experience living in a seventy

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>person sharehouse. I'm sorry, seven zero. I don't even know

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the mechanics of how many bedrooms a house needs to

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>have to house seventy people.

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so this is a day in the life of

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 4>someone who lives in a seventy person house in San Francisco.

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>That's someone being me, a twenty four year old that

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>lives in a bunk bed.

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, this is the singkroom. It's a room full of sinks.

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 4>It's right across from my bedroom, which is pretty cool.

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 4>Some people have sinks in their rooms, but not me.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Somebody left a comment and said, if you pay more

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>than one hundred dollars in rent. That's outrageous. She made

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a reply video.

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, this comment is killing me because in what world

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 4>is anyone paying one hundred dollars for rent? Even with

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 4>seventy people?

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Like maybe if this was in Wyoming, But I.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Live in say Francisco, and it's really expensive over here.

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 4>But the biggest question I have been getting is how

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 4>much do I pay in rent?

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Which is very valid.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 4>I do feel like I have to explain myself, though,

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 4>so let's get into that. Okay, So there's singles, doubles,

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 4>and triples, although I don't know any I think there's

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 4>like three people living in a triple right now. I

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 4>don't know anyone else, so I'm not sure how many.

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Triples there are.

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 4>So it's mostly singles and doubles. Private rooms right now

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 4>are going for sixty fifty in UP.

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm that at double.

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 4>And double rooms are starting at eleven fifty right now.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>That's one extensive.

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 4>Here's the thing.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>When she said seventy persons share house, I thought, okay,

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>like creative commune. I'm thinking about ways that could make sense,

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>like maybe there's do you know, thirty bedrooms or something

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>or it's feeling a bit like midsummer where there are

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of you know, bunk beds in a room,

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>very camp five, and I thought, maybe it's a temporary

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>situation where you get on your feet, that kind of thing,

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>or UNI accommodation, and she's just lying about it, like

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you live in a UNI household. No, no, no, she

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>lives in a functioning house that was built to accommodate

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy people and has sink rooms and sinks in rooms.

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.199
<v Speaker 1>The thing that gets me is sis is paying premium

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>prices to be there. I know she says that San

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Francisco is expensive, but if you're paying two hundred and

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty US dollars or maybe around three hundred Australian dollars

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a week to live with sixty nine other people, I'm

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 1>so sorry that there has to be a better way

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to manage your money.

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I just like, what is it seventy other are they

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>all certain?

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Age?

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Like what is the building? What are the She only

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>showed us the sinks.

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and this is the thing, like she later on

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in the video, you do see her sitting in her

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>living room, which is not that big by the way,

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I saw two four seedar couches and one three seater

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.199
<v Speaker 1>and they're all sitting around having a kiki, enjoying each

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>other's company. I think it is meant to be like

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.719
<v Speaker 1>a creative household or for like you know, young explants

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>implants whichever, people just like you know, joining the city

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>for the first time. But I'm like, there was no

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>better deal for you in seventy people. I don't want

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to sound insensitive because as someone who hasn't lived with

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>anyone since my family and the one friend I lived

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>with for a couple of months, and you currently live

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in a sharehouse as well, we have different approaches to this.

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>So in the podcast, we're going to discuss our own

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>housing situations and also try and think about if there's

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>any circumstance we would be comfortable living with sixty nine

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>other people. Some this girl hasn't even met. Oh my god,

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. There are some people in the room.

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen them before.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean, Nah, I don't trust it. I

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 2>don't like it.

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms on kit. We're going to

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>do what we do best, which is argue, but not

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>with each other. With the ideas of the internet. I

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>have a theory that the most silliest debates can be

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 1>found on Rihanna's Www. Rihanna's Internet, But this one in

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>particular is really grinding our gears.

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>You know what's Rihanna's Internet?

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you serious? Yes? Oh my goodness, Like the Internet

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>is Rihanna's Internet, It's Beyonce's Internet, It's Michelle Obama's Internet. Okay,

0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't get that, Like it's the most iconic people

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>who are solely responsible for keeping the Internet afloat. It's theirs.

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Is this like it's my Instagram?

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Can someone explain this to me? Is that like

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 2>a well known yeah? Oh god, well favorite boom?

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Take it away.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I got on an airplane last Wednesday to come home

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 2>from Melbourne.

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, jet Ce, no need's a flex on us. Okay,

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>domestic travel.

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 2>That is me, And I was sat in the middle seat.

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Now I make an effort not to be sat in

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the middle seat. Do you really I do?

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Did you pre book the seats or did you leave

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>it up to chance?

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, long story short, I didn't get to choose this time.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Usually I always choose.

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Why did windows like long.

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Story seven f every time? Really? Yeah? I just didn't

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>get to choose. It was easter time, like high rates,

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. So I'm sitting in the middle, and this

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>strikes panic in my very being because I know that

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be sat in between two people.

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Gross.

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 2>And my biggest issue is that I think a lot

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 2>of people don't understand a plane etiquette.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Bush pigs, a lot of them airborne push airborne bush pigs.

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sitting down and two men come to sit

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>next to me. By nature of their biology biology, they're

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 2>bigger than me.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Man spreaders. But either way, anyway, short kings exist. Okay,

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>short kings do exist. Short tia kings, they do exist,

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and they do fly frequentlys they.

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Do anyway, And I'm sitting down and my biggest thing

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 2>on an airplane is to get the space that I

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 2>paid for. So I don't know if you know this, flex,

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>but if you're sitting in the middle seat, you have

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 2>ownership over the two armrests exactly a lot of people

0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know that. Like I talked to my mum when

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I got home and said how I had to fight

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 2>for my two arms to be on the arm rest,

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>and she said, what do you mean? I said, honey

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>doesn't travel often.

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not a freaking flyer.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>So we can both agree that here's the thing.

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And I don't mean to not stand by your side

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>in solidarity, because I would love to be on your

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>side for this one. I get it in theory, the

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>window gets the window, you get the best view, the

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:33.439
<v Speaker 1>aisle gets easy access to the bathrooms and first dipped

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>with food. The middle seat hypothetically should get both arm rests,

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>but in my short time in the middle seat, I

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 1>don't want both arm rests. I feel quite comfortable, arms folded,

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>palms on knees, not touching anyone. Because what's worse than

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>having your space invaded on a plane is invading two

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 1>people's space. And that's what happens when you're on in

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a middle seat requesting the arm rests. It's very like

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Butcher mask aggressive. It's not delicate. It's not delicate at all.

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for that part of my personality to shine

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 2>via two elbows.

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>So you fought them.

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I just am like very insistent on having them there,

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and I will not to the point where like I'm

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 2>not even touching my phone because they've got to both

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>do there.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm very stubborn with their armrests. I don't think anyone

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>would have seen this coming.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Really.

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like aesthetically one would assume that I'd be

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>fighting people for for what's rightly mine the two arm rests,

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and you would be doing the palm on knee.

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Hell no, none of this.

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we can both agree that if you're sitting

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>in the middle seat, on a technicality, both armrests should

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>be yours to use freely. But I can understand why

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>middle seat means no armrests as well.

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Strongly firmly disagree. So we've talked about horizontal etiquette on

0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the plane, have we? Yeah, vertical, Now that's horizontal.

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh but I thought you mean verticals like sitting upwards.

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, that's what we're going to do next. Vertical.

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>So you're sitting upwards in a chair. What happens when

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you recline? This is a whole new ball game, and

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the etiquette around reclining. For example, you

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 2>are on the Melbourne to Sydney, you're flying economy.

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I know it very well, do you, Yeah, and.

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>You decide you're going to recline. You've had a really

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>big day to fly and fly out kind of situation.

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you reclining?

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>The rules are and listen closely, please, there is no

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 1>reclining on a domestic flight, none at all. If it's

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>less sorry, let me caveat. If it's a domestic flight

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>less than three hours, you cannot recline. It's inappropriate. It's

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>savage behavior, It honestly is. The reclining is for the

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>comfort of a long haul flight. Right you know you're

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>doing your Sydney to Ghana. I'm not sure if you've

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>done it before. I have plenty of time. And when

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you're getting to your halfway stop in Dubai, it's been

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>thirteen hours. You deserve a recline at about four or

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 1>five hours in you do deserve that. As for a

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>domestic a Sydney to Melbourne, a quick one one and

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a half hour, upright, upright. And what a lot of

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>people don't utilize enough is the head rest. Use the

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>head rest, babe. If you want to relax and you

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>need a bit of next support, just use the head

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>rest it what's that word I'm looking for? Crunch crunches

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>inwards to support the neck. But you don't need to

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>be reclining backwards. That being said, though, if I feel

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it on my spirit to recline, and it's been thirty minutes.

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm not uncomfortable.

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I paid my money and I understand to be the

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>person behind the recliner. I get it.

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Also, coughing on a plane ill, it's fun, it's gross.

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:54.880
