Episode notes
Speaker 2
I've never been on a date in my life. I've never been on a date. In the first time, like, 12s and I once like, weed, I was like, Oh, do you want to like go and get a coffee or something? And he
Speaker 1
was like, well, it's really hot today. So like, we'll go get like bubble tea. And I was like, okay.
Speaker 2
And that was like the
Speaker 1
only date we ever went on during the like, I don't know, courting phase after you've slept really till five times, you're like, do you want to hang out and not fuck? That's exactly what it was. Yeah. And I just a coffee.
Speaker 2
And you both go.
Speaker 1
Yeah, you're kind of nice. But we went to uni together. So
Speaker 2
we like would sleep
Speaker 1
together and then go to class next day and be like, yeah, we'll know on you. I guess I'll make it like fun.
Speaker 2
Because you love. I guess so. Yeah, I picked Taub's up on the way because his
Speaker 1
house is on the way.
Speaker 2
But his house is like on the way from my house or
Speaker 1
whatever. Yeah. But dates, I thought that like dating would be a really big thing. I've watched that many rom coms that I was like, that's going to be huge for me. I'm going to need so many outfits ready to go at all times. Do you know
Speaker 2
what I mean?
Speaker 1
And when you said dates, I thought you meant like catching fire on fire at dates. Oh,
Speaker 2
no, just regardless. Like separate dot point. But like, no,
Speaker 1
so I thought I would catch on fire at a date because of a rom
Speaker 2
com. But then
Speaker 1
I also thought that I just in general go on a lot more dates, which hasn't happened. We got to go on a date. Yeah, we can. We'll go to the Bolton Street. Yeah. Thank you very much. You know what a girl wants? What a girl. We stuffed with chicken at the Bolton Street chicken shop. Marinated octopus.
Speaker 2
And this puss.
Speaker 1
Finally, something we were warned about as children that didn't turn out to be such a big fucking big deal. By the way, tomorrow stuff we should have been taught instead of this. Swallowing chewing gum.
Speaker 2
Doesn't really stay in your body for 30
Speaker 1
years. I feel I've told all of these facts. And I've just never swallowed gum so all good. But it's like it was implied that like one day you'll be walking down the street similar to the stranger danger and they'll just be like, something will just fucking.
Speaker 2
When you're mad. One not to do this.
Speaker 4
Oh, because how many times
Speaker 1
are you just chewing and you just go? Yeah, I mean, I've never swallowed but I don't really chew gum because I don't like mint. Yeah, but like, why aren't you allowed chewing gum at school?
Speaker 2
You know, I
Speaker 1
thought it was like a huge rule like no chewing gum at school. Everyone's like, well, maybe it's just because they thought that everyone would stick it under their table and they would because you're a shitty teenager. Yeah, yeah, so long I agree. But does it actually stay in your body for that long? Surely not.
Speaker 2
You know how that's the thing that they
Speaker 1
say? Like you're staying in your stomach for 80 years. What's more gross? I'm going
Speaker 2
to be dead by then. Fuck you.
Speaker 1
Sitting at a table in public and your hand accidentally gets under there and you go, Oh, I've touched dry gum that stuck to the bottom of the table. That's option A in the water. Sinking A or the fact that you got my Gatorade bottle before that I've been reusing for two months and found mold on the inside of it and I've been drinking out of it this morning.
Speaker 2
Look,
Speaker 1
both are so bad, but only
Speaker 4
one affects me. Hi, it's Kate from
