WEBVTT - Ep 126: Ben’s off, Belle’s buzzing 0:00:00.750 --> 0:00:04.950 Here in the vast plains of Adelaide, South Australia, two 0:00:05.010 --> 0:00:10.270 young males engage in an ancient ritual known as a podcast. 0:00:10.430 --> 0:00:15.570 Its purpose, to attract mates. And by mates, we mean listeners. 0:00:15.750 --> 0:00:18.610 They're both married, so please don't slide into their DMs. 0:00:18.810 --> 0:00:21.390 Their names are Ben and Liam. 0:00:21.910 --> 0:00:24.270 Well, good day there, podcaster! 0:00:24.470 --> 0:00:31.750 What the hell? Welcome to episode 126. Ben's off. Bell's buzzing. 0:00:33.210 --> 0:00:36.090 That's what it says on the tin. Ben Harvey, not 0:00:36.130 --> 0:00:40.330 in today. Look, technically, he did say explicitly in his 0:00:40.370 --> 0:00:42.260 text he'll be taking a personal day because it's not 0:00:42.270 --> 0:00:44.120 a sick day because his family's sick. 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:45.680 And he's not sick. 0:00:46.060 --> 0:00:47.120 He's not technically sick. 0:00:47.140 --> 0:00:50.640 But I tell you what, the ticks that he's getting 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.320 in different categories are growing, though, because it's not just 0:00:53.340 --> 0:00:55.890 another tick for the sick day. He's now gone into 0:00:55.930 --> 0:00:59.520 another category of a personal day. So he is spreading 0:00:59.620 --> 0:01:02.220 further in the reasons that he's missed the show. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.420 Well, this is true. This is true. Jeez, it would 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.120 actually be good to, he would hate this, but I 0:01:09.300 --> 0:01:13.270 think this year, do you know how many you've had? 0:01:14.330 --> 0:01:18.950 How many I've had? Two. Do we count the time 0:01:18.990 --> 0:01:21.150 I came in and then I left as the show started? 0:01:21.860 --> 0:01:24.340 Oh, I don't know if we can count that. I 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:24.580 don't know. 0:01:24.620 --> 0:01:26.520 I would say, yeah, like two or three, I think. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.680 It would be, you would almost be on par, I think. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.400 Yeah, because then you're, what did you have? 0:01:31.459 --> 0:01:32.420 None this year. 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.420 No, there was a time that Ben and I did 0:01:34.459 --> 0:01:36.819 a show. Oh, I think you were just in Sydney 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:37.280 or something. 0:01:37.300 --> 0:01:41.020 No, no, yeah. Oh, well, yeah, maybe there was one morning. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:41.900 No. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.340 I swear Ben and I have done a show. Maybe not. 0:01:45.620 --> 0:01:47.910 No, no, we haven't. I've done a few interstate, but 0:01:47.930 --> 0:01:48.810 I've missed a show this year. 0:01:48.850 --> 0:01:51.470 Yeah, no, forgive me, forgive me. Yeah, okay, sorry. 0:01:51.490 --> 0:01:52.990 I've missed a day. Me and Steph, the only one 0:01:53.010 --> 0:01:53.410 keeping this. 0:01:53.690 --> 0:01:54.570 Oh, okay. 0:01:54.990 --> 0:01:55.470 Hang on. 0:01:55.510 --> 0:01:57.830 Not one sick day for me. No, Steph's been here 0:01:57.870 --> 0:02:00.750 for like three weeks and she's already had a day off. 0:02:01.380 --> 0:02:03.370 So let's not. But the day off was. 0:02:03.380 --> 0:02:04.480 Oh, that is actually true. 0:02:04.500 --> 0:02:06.840 The day off was booked before I even knew that 0:02:06.900 --> 0:02:09.520 I was getting this job. And so to which I 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.700 will say I could not go back on the flights 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:12.360 that were already booked. 0:02:13.130 --> 0:02:16.070 So what we're saying is I'm the only one with 0:02:16.110 --> 0:02:20.669 a perfect record on the team this year. Well, that 0:02:20.730 --> 0:02:22.350 deserves a little bit of respect. Hopefully I'll get a 0:02:22.370 --> 0:02:23.669 few nods and team member of the week. 0:02:23.690 --> 0:02:26.070 We are a bit sloppy on the front. 0:02:26.090 --> 0:02:27.460 We are getting a little sloppy on the front. So 0:02:27.500 --> 0:02:29.440 let's just jump into the pod. It was a fun 0:02:29.460 --> 0:02:32.500 show today and we'll get sloppy on the back as 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.139 is tradition. Good morning, Adelaide. A little bit of a 0:02:36.180 --> 0:02:40.639 different show today. Ben is not here because he's had 0:02:40.660 --> 0:02:41.900 a rough night with the kids.

Because I 0:06:42.420 --> 0:06:46.040 actually had a cute little date on Saturday night and 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.700 it was all going well. It was very sweet and 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.790 just very polite. I went home after. He did drop 0:06:52.810 --> 0:06:55.510 me home so he knew where I lived, which was 0:06:55.529 --> 0:06:58.190 probably something that I have learnt now I shouldn't do. 0:06:59.150 --> 0:07:00.650 But it was all fine. And then I woke up 0:07:00.690 --> 0:07:01.320 in the morning and. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.030 He texted me and he's like, good morning. I'm outside 0:07:07.230 --> 0:07:10.030 your apartment and I'll wait here until you wake up 0:07:10.050 --> 0:07:13.630 because I would like to see you again. To which 0:07:13.650 --> 0:07:16.070 I only woke up like an hour after he texted that. 0:07:16.180 --> 0:07:19.500 So I replied and said, hey, sorry, are you still here? 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:20.000 Is that a thing? 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:21.040 Yeah. 0:07:21.100 --> 0:07:22.440 And then he replied and said, yeah, I've just been 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.580 sitting here for an hour. Did you want a coffee? 0:07:24.620 --> 0:07:26.560 I'll go get you a coffee and bring it back. 0:07:26.620 --> 0:07:27.580 And I said, no, I'm fine. 0:07:27.610 --> 0:07:29.470 Did you say that this is– oh, you dropped me 0:07:29.510 --> 0:07:32.110 off at my– fake house. 0:07:34.060 --> 0:07:35.260 Decoy apartment. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:35.340 No. 0:07:35.340 --> 0:07:35.440 Sorry. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.060 No. Yeah. 0:07:37.140 --> 0:07:39.400 But the good thing is, so I, but I'm like 0:07:39.540 --> 0:07:41.320 up a few levels. So he was just out on 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.600 the ground. So at least I wasn't like, you know, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.800 he couldn't like full peep Tom through the, through the 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.780 window at me. So at least I felt like I 0:07:47.820 --> 0:07:49.680 was a little bit guarded in a way. 0:07:49.700 --> 0:07:50.920 So I kept texting. 0:07:51.580 --> 0:07:54.400 I just said, Hey, please, like you can go now. 0:07:55.060 --> 0:07:56.380 It's fine. I had, I had a great time, but 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.720 you can leave. And then he kept texting me like, no, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.340 I'm going to wait. I'd love to see you. I'll 0:08:00.380 --> 0:08:02.870 just wait. It's fine. And then he said, because he 0:08:02.930 --> 0:08:04.790 knows that we work early hours, he said, if you 0:08:04.810 --> 0:08:08.410 need a sleep in, just sleep in and I'll just wait. 0:08:08.730 --> 0:08:10.750 If you want to sleep till midday, I'll just wait. 0:08:10.790 --> 0:08:14.160 This is like 7am. And so I just said, no, seriously, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.620 you've really got to leave. Fast forward a good half 0:08:16.660 --> 0:08:20.030 an hour. He finally did go. But I didn't go 0:08:20.070 --> 0:08:21.510 downstairs for another six hours. 0:08:21.630 --> 0:08:22.310 Yeah, that's creepy. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.500 So that guy was instantly blocked. 0:08:24.540 --> 0:08:26.460 It's creepy, but it also sounds like something that your 0:08:26.500 --> 0:08:28.860 grandparents would be sharing a story and they'd go, well, 0:08:28.940 --> 0:08:31.100 he took me home from the dance and he stayed. 0:08:31.140 --> 0:08:33.240 I didn't like him that much, but he stayed in 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.120 front of my house for eight whole days. And now 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.000 we're married. We have nine kids. You're like, oh, okay. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.260 Grandpa was a stalker. 0:08:40.380 --> 0:08:40.600 Yeah. 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.880 But, oh, no, he loved me so much. We knew 0:08:42.940 --> 0:08:44.380 from the very first moment. 0:08:44.500 --> 0:08:44.700 Yeah. 0:08:44.820 --> 0:08:47.620 Yeah. No, that's so true, Liam. Yes. But in this 0:08:47.660 --> 0:08:48.010 day and age. 0:08:48.020 --> 0:08:51.870 I was 15. The times have changed, and for the better. 0:08:52.670 --> 0:08:53.390 But that's the thing. 0:08:53.429 --> 0:08:56.230 It was like, it's all going fine. And I thought, okay, 0:08:56.470 --> 0:09:00.730 maybe I could, you know, this guy's sweet. Then suddenly, boom, nup, blocked, 0:09:00.850 --> 0:09:05.130 everything's out. 13-106-5. If you have had just a disastrous 0:09:05.460 --> 0:09:07.260 turn on a first date, let us know. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.320 What turned you off the first date? My wife, Sarah, 0:09:09.340 --> 0:09:10.900 was telling me this story. I'd never heard this story before. 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.320 It was like a guy she was seeing before we'd met. 0:09:13.660 --> 0:09:18.100 And she said, you know, obviously adults. And when she 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.600 went over, he gave her a house tour, like you 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.090 would do to a friend, you When you're like 10, 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.120 you're like, this is the laundry and this is mum 0:09:26.140 --> 0:09:29.070 and dad's room and this is like the rumpus room 0:09:29.150 --> 0:09:30.850 over here and this is the shed. 0:09:31.510 --> 0:09:32.130 I do that. 0:09:33.170 --> 0:09:33.709 I do that. 0:09:34.309 --> 0:09:37.270 We say something wrong with doing a house tour.

I 0:12:07.850 --> 0:12:10.300 met with this guy on Instagram, you know, He didn't 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.160 have much on his profile. I just got on a breakup. 0:12:12.179 --> 0:12:15.120 I was like, okay, I'll try something new. We got there. 0:12:15.140 --> 0:12:16.840 He picked me up from Uber, which I didn't think 0:12:16.900 --> 0:12:20.100 much of at the time. And then when he got there, 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.210 he told me he didn't have a license. He lost 0:12:22.230 --> 0:12:26.010 it because he sped. And then not only that, the 0:12:26.230 --> 0:12:28.870 whole time we were there, he was commenting on my hair, 0:12:28.990 --> 0:12:33.429 my outfit, questioning why I wore those shoes. Oh, my gosh. 0:12:34.010 --> 0:12:37.490 And then literally as the bill came out, he went 0:12:37.530 --> 0:12:40.340 to the bathroom, expected me to pay for it. When 0:12:40.380 --> 0:12:42.220 he came back, I said, thank you for your time. 0:12:42.340 --> 0:12:43.330 I upped and I left. 0:12:43.750 --> 0:12:46.470 Carrie, you said you met him on Insta. So did 0:12:46.490 --> 0:12:48.309 you already know him or you just found a hot 0:12:48.350 --> 0:12:49.970 dude and started DMing? How does that work? 0:12:50.870 --> 0:12:52.840 Honestly, I just found a hot dude and started DMing. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:53.300 I love that. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.540 I just had a relationship. 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:55.510 I love that. 0:12:55.530 --> 0:12:56.860 And I was like, you know what, live a little. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.059 Oh, my gosh. I need your confidence. You just slid in. 0:13:00.059 --> 0:13:00.520 That's great. 0:13:00.540 --> 0:13:01.940 Well, I mean, it didn't really work out. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.890 No, but still. Carrie, thank you so much. We're asking 131065, 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.010 what turned you off on the first date? Michelle from 0:13:09.050 --> 0:13:10.270 Munapurra West, what happened? 0:13:10.970 --> 0:13:11.530 Okay. 0:13:11.990 --> 0:13:16.490 So I was in my 40s, single mum, and I 0:13:16.510 --> 0:13:20.000 decided to get back out on the scene. Yep. And 0:13:20.030 --> 0:13:23.000 I had a first date and we met at the park, 0:13:23.500 --> 0:13:28.700 which whatever. Anyway, into talking a little bit, I was 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.300 kind of like, I don't know. And he was like, well, 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.540 I really like you. But he said, before we can 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.739 go any further, we need to go back to your 0:13:37.780 --> 0:13:39.760 place and have sex so I can see if we're 0:13:39.780 --> 0:13:45.000 compatible or not. And I was like. No, that is 0:13:45.420 --> 0:13:49.750 absolutely not. So I don't know if this guy had 0:13:49.830 --> 0:13:52.870 done this before and got away with it or whatever 0:13:52.890 --> 0:13:53.150 or not. 0:13:53.350 --> 0:13:57.809 It feels like he, you know, one time out of 20, 0:13:57.809 --> 0:14:00.710 it works. And they're good numbers for him. He's like, hey, 0:14:01.210 --> 0:14:03.050 this is what we have to do, right? 0:14:03.309 --> 0:14:06.910 Yeah, and I was like, you are kidding me. You 0:14:06.950 --> 0:14:10.440 don't get to bloody... go for a, you know, test 0:14:10.460 --> 0:14:14.520 drive to decide, you know, like no way. 0:14:14.540 --> 0:14:16.600 So Michelle, did you just get up and leave? 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.360 Not what he said to me. Either we go back 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.050 to your place and have sex and see if we're 0:14:22.070 --> 0:14:25.090 compatible or I'm leaving. And I said, okay, no worries. 0:14:25.110 --> 0:14:27.050 I'll walk you to your car. 0:14:27.130 --> 0:14:30.610 Also, can I, you know, hey, look, I've been with 0:14:30.630 --> 0:14:33.270 my wife for 10 years. I'm married. You know, not 0:14:33.310 --> 0:14:37.140 on the dating scene, but I don't think in my 0:14:37.210 --> 0:14:39.610 limited dating experience I'd ever be like, you want to meet. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:39.989 In a park? 0:14:40.770 --> 0:14:43.010 Like, it just doesn't feel like a good place to... 0:14:42.930 --> 0:14:45.470 I don't really like that. I don't really like the 0:14:45.530 --> 0:14:47.630 vibe of that meeting in a park. 0:14:47.710 --> 0:14:48.950 Oh, it can be romantic. 0:14:48.970 --> 0:14:51.130 You can have a picnic. No, it can't. Maybe if 0:14:51.190 --> 0:14:53.370 you're 15 after school or something, they're like, I don't know, 0:14:53.450 --> 0:14:54.910 meeting in a park as an adult? 0:14:54.950 --> 0:14:56.030 Michelle, let's go to. 0:14:56.050 --> 0:14:58.230 I know, I did think that, but I was also like, look, 0:14:58.290 --> 0:15:01.950 it's public, it's... And I always knew, I'm like, I 0:15:01.970 --> 0:15:04.230 don't even know... Like at that stage, I was like, 0:15:04.270 --> 0:15:06.850 I have no idea what the deal is with this. 0:15:07.310 --> 0:15:09.830 Well, Michelle, let's get a happy ending here. Did you 0:15:10.130 --> 0:15:12.210 find someone else after that? Have you found love? 0:15:12.860 --> 0:15:16.360 I have. I've been married 10 years. I met this 0:15:16.780 --> 0:15:20.120 really lovely guy and we're just about to do our 0:15:20.380 --> 0:15:22.960 10th wedding anniversary. 0:15:23.620 --> 0:15:24.540 That's nice. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.120 Happy days, Michelle. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.960 Absolutely. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:33.380 I'm glad it all worked out for you. Halloween this weekend. So, 0:15:33.420 --> 0:15:36.280 you know, parties happening around the world. It's always fun 0:15:36.300 --> 0:15:37.739 as well when it's kind of like the main time 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.890 in the news where something might go down, but it's 0:15:40.910 --> 0:15:43.030 a bit funny because someone's dressed up. Like there was 0:15:43.050 --> 0:15:46.830 this car accident. Everyone's okay in the US. And the 0:15:47.050 --> 0:15:49.760 woman who saved the day was dressed as a banana. 0:15:50.510 --> 0:15:53.739 Stephanie Oropesa was heading back home from a Halloween party 0:15:53.770 --> 0:15:56.760 when her and her fiancé saw someone veering off the road. 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.359 When the driver crashed, they immediately pulled over and sprung 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.780 into action. Banana costume and all. 0:16:03.340 --> 0:16:04.800 That's so cute. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:05.460 Good time. 0:16:05.500 --> 0:16:07.520 Well, because people are doing, what, they do Halloween parties 0:16:07.540 --> 0:16:10.030 like the whole week of?

I spend a lot of my spare 0:16:15.050 --> 0:16:16.890 time doing it when I'm not here. 0:16:17.010 --> 0:16:18.750 That's true. Your whole year is Halloween. 0:16:18.870 --> 0:16:22.230 Well, this is it. I sort of, it's weird to say, 0:16:22.270 --> 0:16:23.630 but I sort of dress up and chase my wife 0:16:23.650 --> 0:16:26.910 around the house as different characters on my Instagram and TikTok. 0:16:28.190 --> 0:16:31.470 But some of them are quite intricate. Quite? 0:16:31.810 --> 0:16:33.360 You do like three hours. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.620 Of- Three, four hours, prosthetic makeup.
