Speaker 1: It is the pickup with Britt, Laura and Mitch rushing
Speaker 1: to Chemists Warehouse now to get a half price off
Speaker 1: the Nature's Own Vitamin range. It excludes bulk sizes Chemists Warehouse,
Speaker 1: great savings every day.
Speaker 2: How do we all feel about a bit of PDA?
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it, public display of affection for it.
Speaker 3: I'm pro PDA and heaps of other letters, but I'm
Speaker 3: pro pidio.
Speaker 1: It wepends like if you're going to town on a
Speaker 1: park bench out in the front of a bask in,
Speaker 1: Robin's like, grow.
Speaker 3: Up, Oh yeah, you're not going to third base. Kissy
Speaker 3: kiss or a hold, a handhold or.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: I always thought that I was partial to a bit
Speaker 4: of PDA. I always thought I had no problem with it.
Speaker 4: Thought I quite enjoyed a bit of PDA.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I was at for dinner the other night with Matt,
Speaker 4: and we were sitting across from each other, not touching
Speaker 4: each other, having a lovely night because we love each other.
Speaker 4: And I look over to this other table and it's
Speaker 4: a group of eight people. They're like all couples of
Speaker 4: friends that have gone out together. Yeah, and there's two
Speaker 4: people who are obviously a couple in the middle of
Speaker 4: the table and they what are.
Speaker 1: The whingers like that?
Speaker 2: That's all it was like, stop pointing those things out.
Speaker 4: It was pretty much what they were doing. They were
Speaker 4: making out so hardcore at the table. All their friends
Speaker 4: were just sitting around them, chatting as though it was
Speaker 4: completely normal. And it wasn't just like a normal makeout.
Speaker 4: It was like an opened mouth makeout at eight o'clock
Speaker 4: at night on a Friday in a nice restaurant, completely
Speaker 4: absorbed in their own little world between the two of
Speaker 4: them and their friends were acting as though it was
Speaker 4: totally normal.
Speaker 3: Question, Yes, were they on the edge of the table
Speaker 3: or were they like smack bang in the middle and
Speaker 3: the sea was parted.
Speaker 4: Like, No, they were on the left side of the table,
Speaker 4: but they weren't completely on the end.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like they'd gone and rearranged.
Speaker 4: They were just sitting like he was on the head
Speaker 4: of the table and she was on the corner of
Speaker 4: the table, and.
Speaker 2: They were making out.
Speaker 1: The questions maybe was he choking and was she tried mouth?
Speaker 4: Was mouth to mouth she was trying to wrench it
Speaker 4: out with her tongue, But all, honestly, that's too much it.
Speaker 2: Went on for about like it went off for about
Speaker 2: five minutes.
Speaker 4: They came up air and they'd go chatting to their
Speaker 4: friends again, and then they'd go back out. And I
Speaker 4: had this moment where I was like, am I too
Speaker 4: old now? Or is this too This is too much?
Speaker 4: I am not okay with this level of Peter.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I think it's too much. If I'm
Speaker 1: in a friend circle and there's a you know what,
Speaker 1: it's nice because all PDA is is a way of
Speaker 1: you going I love you. This is me showing a
Speaker 1: level of affection that is okay in a public space.
Speaker 2: This is my person.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's what PDA is. Kissing and like sex acts
Speaker 1: is probably meant for indoors.
Speaker 4: Well no, I mean I had a problem with it,
Speaker 4: and Matt did not care one ioda. He was like, Laura,
Speaker 4: I do not know why you're so hung up on this,
Speaker 4: Because he loves a bit of PDA. I don't think
Speaker 4: I'm approved, Like I think, I think I'm pretty much
Speaker 4: okay with it, But I do wonder if you're sitting
Speaker 4: at a table with all your friends and you're macking
Speaker 4: on throughout the whole.
Speaker 2: Of dinner, why what are you trying to prove to
Speaker 2: your friends.
Speaker 3: Why did you come out with your friends?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: You come out to socialize If you're just going to
Speaker 3: go and make out, go out to a dinner on
Speaker 3: your own, dark bar, get the corner.
Speaker 2: Mac On.
Speaker 1: I have a hot take. I think the correlation between
Speaker 1: relationships that don't last and really intense PDA is closer
Speaker 1: than we think. I think couples that show really crazy PDA,
Speaker 1: like you've seen Laura, never go the distance because it
Speaker 1: maps out they've got great, hot sex life. They really
Speaker 1: connected in that realm, but they don't have the other aspect,
Speaker 1: which is being able to be in a conversation, share
Speaker 1: their time with friends.
Speaker 4: This is what I think I reckon and I've done
Speaker 4: my research on this. I came out of it and
Speaker 4: I was like, surely there's more to this. I think
Speaker 4: if you are going to that level of PDA, you
Speaker 4: have nothing to talk about, and the sexual chemistry is
Speaker 4: so strong that you can't fill the void with words,
Speaker 4: so you have to just lock lips. Now, Okay, there
Speaker 4: are some research that came out of the Journal of Sex,
Speaker 4: and it's suggested, well, there is it's a real thing.
Speaker 1: You've got that your glove box.
Speaker 4: I'm got in my handbag right now that there is
Speaker 4: such a thing as performative PDA, and now basically performative
Speaker 4: PDA is maybe you're insecure in your relationship, or you're
Speaker 4: jealous when you're out with your partner, you're worried about them,
Speaker 4: like looking at other people or whatever.
Speaker 2: So it's a way of like my looking your territory
Speaker 2: and really being like this is my man or my woman.
Speaker 2: And PDA is put on, but it's not because you're
Speaker 2: so in love. It's performative.
Speaker 1: Alright, I agree. Maybe their love language is physical touch.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's their only love language, yeah.
Speaker 1: Or tongue touching. Is that someone's physical touch.
Speaker 2: Or just everything touch?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: In public? Full stop? All right, next time they pick
Speaker 1: up Marcia Heines from Australian Idol and a brand new
Speaker 1: production of Greece
