Speaker 1: It might be someone famous, it might be someone of

7
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:36,125
Speaker 1: no or it might be Rio's story, which he said

8
00:00:36,125 --> 00:00:37,565
Speaker 1: to me just now when he gave me the top

9
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:39,445
Speaker 1: line of what it is, he went, I've actually got

10
00:00:39,525 --> 00:00:42,205
Speaker 1: clammy hands, and all I know is the headline here went,

11
00:00:42,245 --> 00:00:47,004
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that sounds horrendous. You're trapped next to

12
00:00:47,045 --> 00:00:47,644
Speaker 1: that person.

13
00:00:47,925 --> 00:00:48,845
Speaker 2: The hands are clambing.

14
00:00:49,004 --> 00:00:51,925
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is some story. Who did you sit

15
00:00:52,045 --> 00:00:52,404
Speaker 1: next to?

16
00:00:52,604 --> 00:00:55,445
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm flying back to Sydney. I take my seat.

17
00:00:55,605 --> 00:01:01,165
Speaker 2: I'm looking down the aisle. Blood runs cold. A ghost

18
00:01:01,165 --> 00:01:06,405
Speaker 2: from COVID pat has emerged an X from a from

19
00:01:06,445 --> 00:01:12,045
Speaker 2: my perspective, a very odd, obvious COVID situationship. At no

20
00:01:12,165 --> 00:01:16,485
Speaker 2: point had there been any discussions of exclusivity or anything

21
00:01:16,525 --> 00:01:20,405
Speaker 2: like that. That didn't seem to matter as the relationship

22
00:01:20,445 --> 00:01:23,565
Speaker 2: disintegrated and didn't end on great turn.

23
00:01:23,645 --> 00:01:27,245
Speaker 1: Do you just by random? What are yours? You're next

24
00:01:27,245 --> 00:01:30,445
Speaker 1: to an ex I see her like a COVID one one.

25
00:01:31,165 --> 00:01:33,765
Speaker 2: It was COVID was for single people.

26
00:01:33,765 --> 00:01:38,005
Speaker 1: In COVID. It was a hardy exactly.

27
00:01:37,725 --> 00:01:39,605
Speaker 2: And you're just looking for you know, everyone was looking

28
00:01:39,605 --> 00:01:42,965
Speaker 2: for companionship. But came out of COVID and there were

29
00:01:43,405 --> 00:01:51,165
Speaker 2: robust discussions and people were upset. And I still claim

30
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:53,805
Speaker 2: I'm innocent. She would not see it the same way.

31
00:01:53,805 --> 00:01:55,445
Speaker 1: So she had a different operation that it was the

32
00:01:55,485 --> 00:01:58,485
Speaker 1: start something, or it was a relationship. She she thought

33
00:01:58,525 --> 00:02:00,525
Speaker 1: it was can you be honest, what's this a string

34
00:02:00,525 --> 00:02:02,605
Speaker 1: of encounters on an individual express It.

35
00:02:02,565 --> 00:02:04,925
Speaker 2: Was a string of encounters. We'd only ever been to

36
00:02:04,965 --> 00:02:07,325
Speaker 2: each other's houses. It was COVID, We'd never actually been

37
00:02:07,405 --> 00:02:10,325
Speaker 2: on a proper date. So for me, I thought that

38
00:02:10,525 --> 00:02:13,325
Speaker 2: was that had set the tone of the relationship. It

39
00:02:13,445 --> 00:02:15,325
Speaker 2: was just some hanging.

40
00:02:15,044 --> 00:02:17,644
Speaker 1: Out transactional transactional.

41
00:02:17,845 --> 00:02:20,925
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, it was not seen the same way and

42
00:02:21,365 --> 00:02:25,325
Speaker 2: that the d it ended up badly then, yes, And

43
00:02:25,365 --> 00:02:27,605
Speaker 2: that was the last time that I'd seen them. And

44
00:02:27,645 --> 00:02:30,685
Speaker 2: then I said, like that coffee, I was like it

45
00:02:30,765 --> 00:02:34,685
Speaker 2: is I'm looking I'm looking out the plane window like

46
00:02:34,725 --> 00:02:37,565
Speaker 2: trying to rotate my head so no facial features can

47
00:02:37,605 --> 00:02:39,605
Speaker 2: be can be seen, So I'm steering out the window,

48
00:02:39,645 --> 00:02:41,645
Speaker 2: staring at the window, and you and part of you

49
00:02:41,645 --> 00:02:43,845
Speaker 2: you just know, you're like, oh, this is my karma, Like.

50
00:02:43,805 --> 00:02:46,924
Speaker 1: This this happening. They're not just on the plane, they'd

51
00:02:46,925 --> 00:02:47,565
Speaker 1: be in the seat next.

52
00:02:47,645 --> 00:02:50,685
Speaker 2: Yes, they're there for a reason. She sits down. I like,

53
00:02:50,965 --> 00:02:53,525
Speaker 2: sheish look over and I go to start like, okay,

54
00:02:53,525 --> 00:02:54,965
Speaker 2: you just got to go into this, I was like,

55
00:02:55,885 --> 00:02:58,845
Speaker 2: and then she clocks me. She must have clocked me earlier,

56
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:02,765
Speaker 2: but she looked straight at me, headphones on, looked straight ahead,

57
00:03:02,645 --> 00:03:06,725
Speaker 2: d Christian. We did not say a word for the

58
00:03:07,005 --> 00:03:11,245
Speaker 2: entire flight. I'm sitting there and I've seen there completely.

59
00:03:12,205 --> 00:03:15,045
Speaker 1: It's actually loud of the deafening.

60
00:03:15,245 --> 00:03:18,125
Speaker 2: It was the longest flight of my life, and it

61
00:03:18,205 --> 00:03:20,645
Speaker 2: was shorter than that it was, and I couldn't I

62
00:03:20,645 --> 00:03:22,245
Speaker 2: couldn't go to the toilet because then I have to

63
00:03:22,805 --> 00:03:25,925
Speaker 2: start another sort of I need to engage her again,

64
00:03:26,045 --> 00:03:27,924
Speaker 2: and then that can start a whole thing. So I'm

65
00:03:27,925 --> 00:03:31,365
Speaker 2: just sitting there like the toilet, but just staring just

66
00:03:31,445 --> 00:03:36,485
Speaker 2: straight like eyes like those horses have those just staring

67
00:03:36,525 --> 00:03:37,445
Speaker 2: completely still.

68
00:03:38,205 --> 00:03:41,885
Speaker 1: I still imagine if it was a longer flying you

69
00:03:42,165 --> 00:03:44,885
Speaker 1: need to go like a four or five hour excuse me,

70
00:03:45,005 --> 00:03:49,005
Speaker 1: excuse me? Are they saying nothing? Then the show was

71
00:03:49,005 --> 00:03:50,045
Speaker 1: she on the aisle.

72
00:03:50,165 --> 00:03:51,765
Speaker 2: No, I was on the window. She was in the middle,

73
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:53,165
Speaker 2: and there was middle.

74
00:03:54,525 --> 00:04:00,125
Speaker 1: And elbow. You folded into your turtled up.

75
00:04:02,085 --> 00:04:11,085
Speaker 2: Water. She was next to you. Literally, Christian, literally a terrible,

76
00:04:11,445 --> 00:04:14,325
Speaker 2: terrible breakup that you weren't even aware it was a

77
00:04:14,445 --> 00:04:15,205
Speaker 2: proper breakup.

78
00:04:15,765 --> 00:04:20,325
Speaker 1: Oh my word, that's hell. Whatever when he.

79
00:04:20,325 --> 00:04:22,765
