Speaker 1 (00:00):
But then they go and message you and be like,
what what's up? And You're like, why would I talk
to people? Why would I hate you? You cheated on me? Hi, guys,
welcome back to hear me out. I'm your host Ezy Armitage,
And when you're hearing this, I will be hopefully lounging
on a nice pool chair in Bali reading my fucking books.

(00:22):
I'm oh my god, I have not done any book things.
I get. I've got Blake Keid with me, so I'm
kind of talking to Blake too. I have had so
many people ask me about talking about all the books
I read, because, like we all know, I'm like a
bit of a book nerd, but a fantasy romance book nerd.
I'll preface, so if that's something you'd be interested in.
I also do like thrillers, which I listen to on
my own. Yeah, So I'm like, do you want me

(00:45):
to kind of touch on maybe some things I'm reading books?
I'd recommend la la la. You let me know. But
I got back from New Zealand obviously last week. If
you want to hear everything about that trip, I did
an episode with the girls. I went on the trip
with my sister, her girlfriend Tessa, and our friend Chrissy,
and we just solve into everything that happened there. It
was so much fun. But yeah, I'll be in Bali,

(01:07):
and I thought so many of you always ask me
about some of my favorite places to go in Bali,
so I'll do a light little rundown. My favorite beach
club is the Lawn. The lawn is like it's quite small.
Definitely book in advance, especially if you're thinking of going
on a weekend, if you're looking to get like a
beach lounge chair. The pool is really fucking warm, and

(01:28):
that shits me up the wall because like, how hard
is it to cool your pool down in bal Like? Wait,
maybe maybe it is hard. Is it hard to have
a cold pool in Bali? Like heat it? Like? Now
you can heat a pool up, Sure you can cool it.
I don't want to be sitting in the fucking forty
degrees and then jump into a pool that's thirty six.
Go on, Blake, is it hard to cool a pool?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Okay? According to AI Overview on Good I.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Love AI Overview, can I just makes my job easy,
It makes my life easier.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
We don't know if we can fully trust that, but
let's run with it right now. It says, no, it's
not hard to cool a pool in Bali. In fact,
pools in Bali often feel too cold for swimmers, particularly
in the morning or during the cooler parts of the year,
which I mean could apply to anywhere.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah. Literally, that's a relevant AI interview overview. Think you
so the lawn, Come on, make your pool a little
bit cooler. A couple degrees is all I asked for.
I want it to be colder than the outside air.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Chuck some ice in.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Chuck some icin for all I care. But the lawn
is amazing. The food is really good, the cocktails are
really good. There's usually quite hot people. It's like a
good m what's the fucking word for it, God, my
brain's friendly diagram. God, No, it's a good it's a
good demographic, thank you. It's like a good demographic of people.

(02:45):
They're usually quite young something. Usually they're pretty good looking.
Like there's not usually a lot of like young kids
there I find, which is nice. But there's also like
a restaurant above it which is great called school. You
can drink there at sunset. It's it's not dirty. I
don't feel dirty like I would at somewhere like Fins,
which I went there for my birthday, and it's like

(03:05):
you have to go to Finns for your birthday, like
you must because it's like a party. But I feel dirty,
Like I don't think I went. I went in the
pool like once because I'm like, ooh, you know, even
in them.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
The beds, the beds, they feel dirty. It's something you
like sit in to float in the watery sand that.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
You walk around and then when you get on the bed.
I sound like a fucking brat right now, But you
guys know, I'm a bit of a germophobe, so like
and I have our real issues with things like water parks,
so like beach clubs to me kind of somehow cross
over in there, and like I need them to feel
clean and the lawn feels clean. Fins does not. But
Fins is fun if you're looking to just get drunk
and not worry about anything. The demographic they're not so

(03:46):
much up my alley. A lot of young people, yes,
but like I'm not finding my husband there, you know
what I mean. That's all I'll say. Anyway, That's my
favorite beach club. My favorite place to go out is
Luigi's on a Monday. It's I feel like a lot
of Aussie's go to Luigi's and Monday is the night
that everyone goes. It's like a run. I don't actually

(04:07):
know what the event's call, but they run it every Monday,
and that's why everyone goes there. If you're worried you
might not get in. I don't know how busy it
can get. And if they don't let people in, you
can always book a dinner there that night at like eight,
eat dinner on the tables, and then it kind of
turns into like a bit of a more clubby vibe
at ten. Luig's is great. They're also starting up a
Thursday night R and B event that I went to

(04:29):
when I was last there. It's definitely not as busy
as Monday, but sometimes Monday is like incredibly overwhelmingly busy,
you know, so Thursday's also a good night if you
like that kind of music. Techno is the Monday night anyway.
Mexico is always a vibe, but the salmon Jaquan makes
my skin crawl because I feel like there's no airflow,

(04:50):
Like I feel like I'm actually slowly suffocating in there.
They've got these big ice fans that sit near the
toilet that like I end up spending my whole time
in front of ah.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think that's why I've been to as well. I'll
tell you what my problem with Mexicola. Mexicola was. All
they played the whole night was Pitbull.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
They love people, they love the old classics, like they
come on Nileen.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Like yeah, and it can't be a full song. It's
like a TikTok previous. We'll give you a good thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'll give you this worldwide for like thirty seconds. The
music there is very much everything you do, like everyone
knows the words to all of the songs that they're
playing is basically what they do. And I'm pretty sure
they do that at the one. And there's a newer
one in Chengu, which is nice. So it's actually really
really pretty and a lot more open. That's where we
went a couple of times last year because I just

(05:39):
don't see the point in tracking it to semnac when
there's one like right where I'm saying, you know what
I mean. But the food's actually pretty fucking good. There's
like a little cup of corn with like cheese and stuff,
and it's sorrow Gorne. But the thing is they like
wipe the tables and then everyone's dancing on them. Yeah,
you must dance on the tables at Mexicolo, but then
when you're eating there, makes you feel like people dance

(06:01):
on this you're not try not to think about it
too much. But I went there a couple of days
before my birthday and that's always really fun. There's a
lot of people there. Yeah, and this is just a
lot more indoor outdoor. There's tables that are outside, but
it's kind of like there's archways and stuff that leads
to inside, Whereas I feel like the Mexicola and Semenyak
is just one giant fucking rectangle building with no windows
and I personally can't handle that. What else do I like?

(06:24):
Dah Maria is fun. I think Sundays might be the
day that they always run some sort of like influenceror
EA dinner thing on Sundays. But then there's like R
and B again and it gets really really busy, and
it also is really fun. I think Wednesdays is also
a good night to go to Da Maria. What else
we I like? My favorite restaurant is Yuki, the Japanese restaurant.
It like Rivals. Some of the dishes like Rival, some

(06:46):
of the dishes at Noble, in my opinion, but the
prices are like I eat so much there and I'm
always surprised at how little my bill comes out to be.
But the food is incredible there. Numero Quatro, i'd say,
is my favorite pasta place in Bali. I think it's
in Chengu as well, and then Mason is my favorite
like steak place. They've just got really yummy steak, really

(07:09):
yummy sides. Oh. Also, randomly, I like this restaurant called
Santania in Chengu, but I've never really seen it anywhere.
I think I only went there because I drove past
it and it's this beautiful restaurant, and I find that
it's usually not that busy, but the food is fucking incredible,
Like get the steak and like the side potato things.
It's like a potato millfil millfiel. Do you know what

(07:31):
I'm talking. I can't help you even be gone, I
don't know. It's like layered, really crispy layer potato and
it has like this cream stuff on top.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's a really good I do know what you mean annoying?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Lan you do? Yeah, yeah, it's it's I know exactly
what the word is. I don't know how to pronounce it.
I don't know how to start m I L L E.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Potato.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
I think it's a few film, Yeah, exactly, whatever that
fucking word is. It's really good there. If you ever
have the time or the ability to go to Savaya
in Uluato, I'd say it's definitely worth seeing once. It
is really gorgeous, and I think if I went a
bit harder that night, I would have had a lot

(08:13):
of fun, but I was just protecting myself.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Do you go shopping over there?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I kind of don't, And I'd say, if you're going
to shop, I'd say the better place is probably the
main streets in Semonyak for shopping. But there are some
really cute shops, a lot of really good jewelry shops.
There's a jewelry shop called Fine Line Jewelry, which has
like seven different locations or something like massive like that.
A lot of my earrings that I wore a couple
months ago were from there, and I think I've had

(08:41):
it's my most commonly asked piece of jewelry or clothing
that you guys have ever asked me about. Fine line
jewelry in Bali has so many beautiful different colored like gemstone,
little cartilage and low piercings. They're beautiful. Anyway. My favorite
cafes are Canteen because I really like their steak sandwich.
I actually think when I was there for ten days,
I probably got it nine times. I'm not fucking exaggerating

(09:04):
with you. The girls actually when I got them on
my birthday for me for breakfast, because it's all I ate.
I also really like Copenhagen. It's like one of those
menus where you pick a bunch. You can pick like
a little side of abba and a poach shagg and
a thing with like vetter in it, and they like
put them on a board for you. It's like one
of those sort of breakfast where they like put a
bunch of different ingredients on a board. You can get

(09:25):
a mini little a syeball and a piece of bread
and they kind of It's really cute and it's a
cool like concept because you can kind of just pick
and choose what you want and like create your own breakfast.
I'll touch on anything I missed next week, but you know,
I feel like I don't remember the last time. My
brain hasn't been like like you even say, every time
I come in, Blake's like easy, like take a fucking breath,

(09:45):
like what is wrong with you? My brain just runs
in such overdrive. If you've ever heard me talk about
my alarms and stuff before, the way, I have like
probably at least fifteen alarms go off every hour to
like remind me to like brush my fucking hair, like
the stupidest shit, because I don't no longer rely on
my memory or remind me of anything. And I've probably

(10:05):
been doing those alarms for like five years, so it's
really spiraled into like all I rely on, and I
just always feel like I'm missing things, do you know
what I mean? So my brain is always checking everything.
But I think because I've just gotten home from New
Zealand when I'm filming this and I go to Bali intwo,
I got home yesterday, I go to Bali in two days.
My brain's just all over the place. But I'm very,

(10:27):
very excited, and I think Bali will be nice and relaxing.
Whereas last time was definitely more of the party birthday route,
whereas this time I want to sit in the sun
wearing sunscreen and read my fantasy books. All right, we're
gonna get straight into the hear me out, I say,
straight into like I haven't just been speaking for ten
minutes a bit random shit.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Should we start with a listener one?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I would love that?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Okay? Is I have a really red hot listener one
for you? I'm scared youre going to get riled up.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Okay, let me adjust my sitting in my throat, so.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Hear me out.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I love snapchat. I know you hate it. I use
it to send flogs to my friends and it's perfect
because they can open and respond when they want if
they're busy. Keeps me super updated in their lives when
we're all working and living in different places. What do
you think I get that?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I get I do get it. I think hang on,
let me double check. I had one with a big
group of my friends and whether I've been just removed
from it or something, but it's no longer been going
off anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I have one of those, and it like gets to
a point where I'll go through it like once a month.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh yeah, no one said anything in that group for
twenty two weeks, so it's not me, but I was like,
hang on a minute, but it all became too much,
as if there was like fifteen of us in there
that we're all sending like regular updates of things that
are going on throughout the day. So like if you
don't check in on that group for thirty minutes, you've
got like sixty sat far and it's like a lot

(11:52):
of the time you'll open them not realizing it's a video,
and then you need to play the sound but you've
already missed it. Like, I just think I just don't
like Snapchat. I just think it's something there's something immature
about the fact that the messages disappear. I just find
it was created to like be sneaky, and like I
just maybe I have PTSD from it.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Honestly, I think that does come a little bit into play,
like the sneakiness part of it.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
But I've seen some really fuck messages from like my
first boyfriend, Like when you'd be texting people on their
own stuff and I found them and I'm like, what
the fuck I think. I just I just don't I
don't like sending around a bit photos of myself.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
And not to mention, I feel like everyone knows every
single cheat and hack to Snapchat, whereas like what are
they for the other apps? Like we can talk about
swiping like ninety eight percent sidewards just to.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Like read it and then close it. Like it's all
these sneaky little things, and I'm like, I just just
text me, literally text me. I don't want to send
a photo with you while I'm texting you. I'd rather
just text you. And I don't like I remember I
always used to if I had something like important to
say I really wanted someone to reply, I'd always used
to text them on Snapchat because they can't read the message.
That always open it, maybe earlier than they would if

(13:01):
they just you know, if I say, hey, what are
you up to? And you saw that I texted you
that on message and you're like boring, who cares? Yeah? Yeah,
But if you go easy send you a chat, You're like,
what the fuck is this? I must open this? And
then it gets the combo going quicker. Yeah, I totally
get what she's saying in the sense of like, because
I was in one of those things with my friends,
and like, you did get to a lot of people
living in different countries and you got to see everything

(13:22):
that was going on. It is really interesting. I just
found that unless I was actively regularly checking it, it
ended up stressing me out so much that I never would. Yeah,
so I just never checked it again.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
And I get the vlogging thing because I think Snapchat
was the only one that did did hands free up
until like literally this year or last year. Like you
could take a full video and just like take your
finger off and it'll continue videoing for it. Right, Yeah, Instagram,
that's new. Now you actually couldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I don't even know that that's a thing. I'm such
a bad fucking comm No.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Now, I'm like, I still don't think you can do
it on Instagram. So sometimes, really randomly, I would take
an extended video on Snapchat, not even to send it
to one on that to save it than sounds else.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
The girls would give like shopping halls and stuff on there,
and it's nice, but yeah, if become like, oh, I
might want to watch that, but then there's like seven
hundred unopened things that I have to watch before I
get there.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'd be like, it's only Wednesday and it's fucking Monday now,
and I have to just get through all of these
on Thursday. Now you'd be tapping tap and tap and tappen.
It just gets a lot.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
And then with the notifications, you also get notified when
they're typing too, so it's literally double the notification.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
There was nothing more toxic than when you fake type.
Oh my it a couple of times I did fake type,
so it would be like easy, it's typing, and then
they wait and then you're like backspace, no I'm not.
But then they go and message you and be like
what what, what's up? And you're like, oh, nothing, I
didn't do anything. What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Why would I talk to you?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Would I hate you? You cheated on me? Hear me out.
The aisle seats better than the winder, I agree you do. Yeah, yeah,
because I need on a plane. Yeah, I will always
take especially if I'm alone. I want to be like
I want to be on the aisle. So it's like
I can get it whenever I want, I can grab
things whenever I want. I'm not jumping over people. I

(15:10):
know people like the window, and maybe people with really
strong bladders can fuck with the window, but to me,
there's always still that people like to use the window,
so they can sleep on it, but there's always that
fucking armress that's cutting into my stomach. So it's like
I can't really lean across to the window anyways, can I.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I've given up on sleeping on planes.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I just yeah, it's something I tend not to do, really,
but yeah, I just find the eye. I can kind
of put my legs out a bit, I can stretch
around a bit. But yeah, I have like my sister
and like a lot of friends of mine, will always
just prefer the window. Yeah, it was like one of
us always has to stiff the middle, and one of
us gets what we want.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
The only thing that's annoying is when the other person
on the window or in the middle needs to get up,
Like there have been a few times so I've gotten up,
like every bloody ten minutes, and then in your head,
when you've sat back down to let the person go
to the toilet, you're like just sitting They're like they're
about to come back.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, no, it's annoying, but it's like I feel like
I don't mind getting up whenever someone wants me to.
I would rather that than have to ask them to
get up for me.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
True, so true, that anxiety inducing, do you know.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh my god, yeah, you're so right. Yeah, I will
forever actually yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
And it's like I can just get up and stretch
my legs, and it's like when I'm on the aisle,
I'll actually put my bag above overhead because it's like
I can just get up and get thinking about I want,
whereas otherwise it's like I've got this huge bag that's
like sitting up my foot. Well, because I don't want
to be like, hey, sorry I need to pee. Oh
hey sorry, I need my water bottle. Hey sorry, I
need my fucking tell fast. You know, I just think

(16:38):
it's preferable. Quick side note to the podcast. You know
how on Google phones you can if you take a
bunch of photos, like in the same sort of position
or whatever, and you don't like your face in one,
but you like your face and the other, you can
swap your face. Yes, iPhone needs to introduce her, because
like I can't get a Google phone, like I just

(16:59):
iPhones a like we have them for so long because
it's like you know how they work, and it's like
you know how to do everything on it, and changing
to a different phone would just be like a learning experience.
That I'm just like not capable or willing to do
right now.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
And the emojis, yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
No, And I can't ask someone on a date and
then have them text me and it come through a green,
They're gonna block me. It needs to be blue. But
I just think Apple, come on, Like, that's such smart
fucking technology, and I feel like it would be so
useful for everyone, like fucking girls mainly. Anyway, we were
just talking about that in the trip and I thought

(17:35):
that would be really good to have.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
All right, So before we get into the main chunk,
I'm actually stealing a listener hear me out, because I've
always believed but have just never remembered. Okay, hear me out.
Handkerchiefs are so disgusting and should not be normalized.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Tissues are one use, maybe too, if it's not a
hectic fucking blow. Yeah yeah, you can maybe, but no,
generally most of the time, if you're actually needing to
blow your nose and new use a tissue, it needs
to go in the bin. Handkerchiefs or when someone like
hand someone a handkerchief to like dry their eyes or something,
I'm like, have you just wiped your nose with that?

(18:14):
Like is there dry, It's not all over this getting
in my arm?

Speaker 2 (18:17):
What are you doing in that thing?

Speaker 1 (18:18):
No, handkerchiefs are disgusting. Put a packet of tissues in
your pocket, don't put a handkerchief in that.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I just remember being a kid and like the adults
in my life kept trying to encourage it. They'd give
me one, and I just I never even verbalize it
as a girl.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, I've never been given a handkerchief.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, but like my family would try and make me
like get into it.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
My grandpa definitely had one.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I think it was my pop as well. But
like I never vocalized as a kid, but I was
just like, no way am I letting that sit in
my pocket, and like like just build up. I'm so disturbed.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I think I want to know to people, you must
wash them daily, at least tell me. But like a
handkerchief is more. I'd like to think they're more than
for or like a little tear or a little like
dribble or a little like a little fucking start drip
or something.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm assuming full blow.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
But that's the thing I'm hoping. I would like confirmation
on whether people full blow their nose into handkerchiefs, Like,
get the whole empty out the whole fucking nasal passage
into that handkerchief and then chuck it back in the
pocket to use later. I need to know whether it's
more of a dab, if something's like you know, going on,
or if you're.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Blowing it, Like surely there's a limit, because if.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
You blow it, you should wash it well. Like but like,
why can't you just use this issue and throw it?
Like obviously I get I get back in the old days,
but like, even if I was back in the old days,
I would spend my last fucking dime on making sure
I have more than one see for one use handkerchiefs.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Thank you and any olden days. I feel like it
was a solution to a problem.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Now do they still are they still round?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
I've never seen anyone in our age uice.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
What I want to know if anyone's dad's use using one.
Someone Well, we've just got confirmation that someone that's recorded
a podcast he was using a handkerchief the other day.
What the fuck I reckon people's dads would still use them?
I'd like to know. And does your dad below his
nose into it or is he just like dabs it
and if you passed it to you, if you're like crying,

(20:17):
are you like going ill? Dud? No? Thanks?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
And how many washes per week per day?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Do they at least do they have rotations and wash
it once today? I'd like to know all that.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Do you have like a hundred different ones?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Because that's crazy and need see one for every day
the way? All right, guys, On this week's episode, we
are doing some more worse first date stories because honestly,
there's never too many of those. I love listening to them.
It makes I think it makes everyone feel a little
bit better about going on dates. Okay, actually no, it
would make you feel worse about going in dates. But

(20:51):
like if you've been like, oh, I had a really
shit date, and then you hear some of these, you're like, actually,
my date was fine. I have not been on a
date since before I got my nose done.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Damn, you were like really on it.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
I was really on a roll right before I got
my nose down. I think I went him three in
a week. I was trying to like pack him in
there in case I looked fugly after. But I think
I went on one follow up date, like a really
light one right the week or two after. But yeah,
it didn't go anywhere. But yeah, fuck, that's been a
really long time. I'm going on the date next week
in BALI. I'll be maybe I've already gone on once

(21:29):
when I talked to you. By the way, everyone get excited. Okay,
let me set the scene my hingetate. Let's call him
Greg ask oh my god, this is already bad. Ask
me out to Hog's breath first, red flag. I was
already cautious of Greg because he had a whole Instagram
highlight dedicated to him grinding on the gym floor. Yes,

(21:50):
the gym floor. What the fuck I'm hoping she means
like working out, not like actually grinding on the gym floor.
I must have been offulating. Anyways. Greg picks me up,
and the ViBe's okay because he's sexy as fuck. I'm
surprised you didn't like the gym floor videos.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Then, babe, but.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Something feels off. Within three minutes of picking me up,
he starts trauma dumping. I'm talking childhood trauma, daddy issues,
family violence, the works. I actually maybe I have a
slight issue when people trauma are not really early on,
because it feels like you're trying to because I've had
it and now looking back, and then it feels like

(22:30):
a manipulation tactic almost. I completely get that people have
gone through really challenging things, but I think waiting until
you're close and it's a safe space to share those
things is great. Like it's amazing that people have the
courage to share that stuff. I just think doing it
so quickly is a way of like sucking someone in
a way, or at least that's how it turned out

(22:52):
for me when it happened to me, So I am
always like a little bit cautious of people that acts
that way. Really early on the EmPATH in me just
absorbed it all and listened fast forward to the dinner.
The usual first eight questions, A few drinks, and a
shitty dry steak minus five or a points to hog's breath.
Dinner finishes up and we head to another bar for

(23:13):
a drink. There are plenty more trauma dumps. He then
tells me he used to be a male stripper, which
explains the floor humping. Okay, so it probably was actual
floor humping. I think I wonder what the people at
the gym are thinking when he gets down on the
floor like that, they go here we go again. After
the fourth hand's night stripper story, I call it a

(23:33):
night and ask him to take me home. At this point,
I've got the ick and my vagina as dry as
my steak. It's funny, funny girl. This is when it
gets cooked. On the drive home, Greg puts on his
trip of songs and tells me he's got a show
for me. Greg has had too much to drink. Greg

(23:54):
fuck Chris Brown's wet the bed. I've never heard that
song comes on and Greg begins his performance. He starts
serenading his steering wheel, fingering it, smacking it, smirking at me.
Oh my god, I like, because can you imagine he's
just like he slowly eases into his strip of talk,
and now he's like, had a couple of drinks, He's

(24:15):
explained some stories, and now he's feeling like comfortable and confident.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
And I would be trying to survive this date as
much as her, but she hasn't exactly shut it down,
so I think he's actually like, oh, she's feeling like
she's loving this.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Oh, like I do believe, like, after like a fucking
significant amount of drinks. Yeah, a guy would do this
absolutely exactly this show. Wait, I'm internally dry heaving. This
show lasted the whole twenty minute right home because every
song he'd put on his probably like oh yeah. I
sat there in silence of legs, facing the door, counting

(24:49):
down the minutes. This boy could not read the room.
Finally we arrive home and he's finished fucking his steering wheel.
I rush out, but he follows me. I say my
thank you and goodbyes. But what does Greg do? He
tells me how sexually frustrated he is and he doesn't
want the date to end. No shit, Greg, you were
literally railing your seal wheel a minute ago. I managed

(25:10):
to escape him, text some pointers for his future dates
and block him. Moral of the story, never trust a
man who takes you to hog's breath or finger fucks
his steering wheel. Vallad I'd love to see the text
that you sent him, saying, like, by the way, heads up,
do people, I actually would like you girls to send me.
When you like text someone and they ask you like, oh,

(25:31):
why weren't you interested again? Or like why didn't it
work out? And like they've kind of done something wrong
and you've actually told them it's because you did this,
or it's because this, you know what I mean. Yeah,
I always sadly just go, oh sorry, I'm just really
not looking to date right now. Like that's my classic,
and everyone that listens to my podcast knows that, Like

(25:51):
I really like dating, you know what I mean, that's
my go to.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I had a story recently of black an Australian celebrity,
and she will actually like after the date, but like, hey,
I really enjoyed this element, this element and this element.
But like you're a bit young or I don't think
your work situation suits mine, and surely.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Ah, I guess maybe when you're a bit more, when
you're a bit older and you're kind of more looking
for something specific, and I guess everyone that you're dating
is definitely dating with more intention. Yeah, it makes a
bit more sense.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I just love the confor them.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Absolutely, me dumping people, I'm like, you're amazing, it's all me.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
No, Like honestly, it's not you, it's me. Like that
line is my classic, and it's never me.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Can't go rock all right.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
I went on my first date at sixteen. Oh god,
I couldn't even imagine going on a date to that age.
I don't think I went in to a day till
I was like twenty. Took me to an Italian restaurant,
paid for everything, then for ice cream, and I walk
on the beach first six like at sixteen when you're
not really drinking, Like that sounds like a nice bliss.
Fucking No, I couldn't go on a first date before
the age of eighteen because I wouldn't have to be

(26:58):
able to have alcohol.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
You had like blind confidence, though I didn't.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I was really really timid when I was younger. I was,
but just like I think I still am, though in
a lot of with men I am.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I was like, the fuck are you so? I can
handle anything at that age now, I'm scared of everything.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
No, I'm always been scared of everything. He told me
he loved I thought he should saying me. He told
me he loved doing this with all his female friends
to make them feel special, basically friend zoning me after
making a big deal about our date. It's a really
weird thing to say, basically just letting her know that
he does this all the time. I think he told

(27:40):
everyone at school, including the teachers, that he was going
on a date with me. I felt so shit after
he said that. I tried to end the night, but
he proceeded to introduce himself to my parents and chatted
with them for like an hour while they sat there,
like an idiot. To make matters worse, I found out
he booked the restaurant before asking me out because he
knew i'd say yes. Arrogance. I hate it. I hate it.

(28:02):
People would like, oh, look, everyone's got a bit of
an ego. I get that, but like men like that
that kind of make younger girls or girls feel embarrassed
for like being interested. I think, is such an egg. Okay, next,
so picture this. I start talking to this ridiculously good
looking boy who's also genuinely so nice. Please tell me
what his name is and how to contact him. We're

(28:25):
vibing until I find out he's eighteen. Scratch that.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I was so ready to shut you down. I was like,
I'll let you read this, thank you.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Meanwhile, I'm a sophisticated twenty two year old woman read
I pay bills and play complain about petro prizs same sis.
He asked me out for sushi. My weakness. I say yes,
then panic about their age gap. Ten minutes before the
date and cancel. Somehow, we keep chatting anyway. Yeah, if
I was twenty two, I wouldn't I have. I've got
a funny thing about dating younger guys. I tend to

(28:56):
prefer my agent up, so I understand that. Fast forward
to a random Wednesday night. My friends and I check
out a new rooftop restaurant. Cute dinner turns into MESSI
cocktails thanks to a mutual friend. I stumble home at midnight,
tragic because I'm a teacher with a seven am class. Hey,
midnight is midnight is commendable in my mind, so that's okay.

(29:18):
Tipsy Me decides it's time for a booty call. Oh
my god, I hate tipsy Me. Like tipsy Me, I
want to fucking stab every single day. Who's awake at
midnight on a school night? Yep? The eighteen year old
tell me he wasn't at school. Please tell me he
was graduated. I invite him over, meet him in pajamas
and a messy barn, a smiling Mike tequila. One thing

(29:40):
leads to another and we stay up all night talking
and not talking. Okay, I was like, one thing leads
to another generally, does not mean talking. I get two
hours of sleep before teaching the next day, looking like
I've survived a festival. Here's the kicker. Despite the age
gap drama, we actually started dating. Fast forward to nearly
two years. He's now twenty, I'm turning two four and
he's the best boyfriend ever. Or from one tequila soak Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Oh my god, I actually forgot that they started dating.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
That's crazy. Maybe I need to open broaden my horizons
a bit more, because like, you never really know, do you.
And like my sister's last boyfriend was a lot younger
than her and he was like great, Like we all
loved him. We still love him.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Maybe we need this man's best friend's number or something.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, fuck go girl, I'm proud of you. Maybe booty
calls are the answer, and I need to chill out,
give myself some slack. Now. I'm not a booty caller.
I'm just a drunk texter. Hey, what are you doing,
drunk caller? I'm a drunk caller too.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I'm a not in like obviously a hitting on any
one way, but like I'm like, oh my god, I've
had three wines. I'm going to let you know exactly
what you mean to me, how much I miss you?
Like I will like reconnect with people. I've been talked
to him three years on the Instagram. I'm like, hey, babe,
that's what I missed. That's the next day, I'm like, Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
My problem is that it tends to be people that
are in different countries that all crew and they're like
fucking walking the park at a fucking twelve pm on
it like just chilling and I'm like, ah, you're a
kick I'm coming home from kick On to kill me.
So I'm chatting to this guy on inside and we
plan a wine bar date. Wine by dates are a

(31:21):
good date.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
My favorite.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
I like a pub date too, because like the atmosphere
at a pub more catsual one. Yeah, he seems normal,
a planner. Great On the night, I'm fifteen minutes late.
He's already had a drink and then proceeds to down
five more while I'm still on my second averroll.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Wow, it's a lot.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
It's a fast drinking man. He keeps bringing up his
ex girlfriend Bang red Flag and female friends ick and
then he decides he's hungry, so he orders this massive steak.
He even puts someone a plate for me, but because
I'm busy yapping, I barely touch it. He eats his
in two minutes, then asks if I'm going to eat mine?
When I say no, he eats it off my plate.

(32:01):
Why do you even put it on her plate?

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Why so fast?

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Like? Why are we in a rush?

Speaker 2 (32:06):
But it's like five drinks in one minute, a whole
steak in two minutes.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Like have you not eaten or drinking weeks? Like relaxed?

Speaker 2 (32:13):
And we got we've got all night.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
And he let her have a fucking apple all babe.
My jaw hit the floor. He then goes to pee,
comes back, sits on the same side of the table.
I'm done. I drive him home. Oh so she's even driving,
so she's probably like, why are we getting so wasted? Yeah?
When I drop him off, he asked me to come inside.
I decline, say goodbye, and never hear from him again. Traumatize.

(32:36):
It's so funny when you go on a date with
someone and then it's that you just never speak again,
and you see them out and you're like, loll we tried,
but like, no, I.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Know, and respectfully, like Lee, reading the end of that one,
I understand the steak and the drinks, but like the
fact he came and sat on the same side as
her when it's crazy, like, I think that's really romantic,
but she's obviously so repulsed.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Sweet if you're into it, of.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Course, this is a point she's like, fuck this.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Time, I'm not get up. All right, Me and this guy,
let's call him Owen. I always love seeing what people
come up with. Owen reminds me of Owen from Gray's Anatomy,
So I already feel like this is going to be bad.
Go bowling for our first date, fun and different. Bowling
can be cute because you're kind of enjoying yourself for
you also having drinks. Bowling's a good like second date, I.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Think, And also no one is to experience at bowling,
so you're both like learning together.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, bowling. I think it's a good second date because
you know, I always say second dates are harder to
me because I've already found out everything interesting on the
first day. Then bowling kind of makes it like, can
you have fun together? Make it a bit more lighthearted,
you know, totally good shot Owen. He tries a fancy
spin move but launches the ball backwards. It nearly hits
the snat Kana, everyone gasps and he just yells strike

(33:50):
like it was intentional. Next time, he slips, slides halfway
down the lane and the staff have to stop the
game to get him back. He's like a baby deer
learning to stand. He's a nice guy. I felt bad,
but I got the ick. We never went on a
second date though we're still friends. Yeah, there's something like,
you don't need to impress me. We're bowling. It's just
just chill.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
And he doesn't sound terrible, so I'm glad you've kept
him as a friend.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yeah, he sounds like a nice guy, but not someone
you want to like, be romantic with. Al Right. Next,
I went on a bumble date, Red Flag number one.
I've never been on bumble, so I feel like i'm
because Bumble's like where the girl has some message first,
and to me, it was not really something that ever
appealed to me. But I know, like my mum and
like likes it because she gives her get to weed

(34:37):
out some of the freaks at that age.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
So I used to use bumble, which was hilarious because
at the time they were marketing her ass and it
still is. This because the woman's messages first, how I
was a guy looking for a guy, So it's just
like that just was I was like, I still like,
never I'm going to go with this app.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
I feel think it would be like certain men on
Bumble though, it's like they're probably I almost think that'd
be nicer, like better caliber guys and are maybe looking
for something a bit more serious.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
They were a lot nicer, So it's like comparing that
to Tinder. It was like Tinder's like wonder fuck, Yeah,
that was so much more serious on Bumble Yeah, like
maybe it's just not what I was looking for at
the time. It was too intense, right, okay, right away
philosophical and they were asking a question Gal from the jumps,
I'm laying in bed, like.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I don't want to get too deep, right, I don't
have the capacity, Like I feel like this first compent
needs to kind of be a bit like of a
funny gag. Then get into like what are you doing,
Let's go get a drink?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah, one hundred percent, this nut right in.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, what is the meaning of life? I don't fucking know.
Figure it out yourself, all right. So she went on
a bubble day Bumble Bobble. It was supposed to be
a shooting range. Interesting, I wonder if do we have
shooting ranges in Australia. Yeah, why have I never been
to I've been to one in Hawaii. I was a

(36:02):
pretty good shot. It was booked, so they ended up
going mini golf. From the start, vibes were off. Okay,
that sucks. He told me it wouldn't work because I'm
Greek and he's Italian. Throughout the game, he got visibly
frustrated every time I did better than him. Yeah. See,
it's like some men are like that. He lined up
the shots like it was the PGA. Was that a

(36:23):
golf tournament or something? I'm yeah, And when he didn't
get a hole in one, he slammed his club, but
people started staring. I got so embarrassed. I began playing
worse to calm the tension. Girl, I totally feel you that. Then,
instead of finishing, he tried to play another round without
playing by keeping our balls from dropping in the last hole.

(36:45):
I faked being I'm well so he'd take me home. Also,
that shows you're a cheapskate. You want to play another hole,
pay for another hole.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, it's not on the more expensive side of a.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Day, no never message him again, deleted Bumble and switched
to hinge where I met my current boy in front
of three years. Okay, so basically she's saying, don't go
mumbles like I need some I need to know what
mumbles about girlipops. Let me know.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
It might be better for girls to be honest. Maybe
it just wasn't for me.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
I don't know. I'm like, I don't even I have hinge,
and it's like I just don't even use it, Like
it's hard. You don't know these people. It's like literally
a blind date.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
When I loved about this story.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Though.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Have you ever been on a date with a bad
sport or just a man that cannot handle winning?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
I haven't, and I'm lucky for that.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I haven't been on one. But I went on not
a double date with my girlfriend, but she invited a
few of us friends out with her and her boyfriend.
And I think it was what's the place where you
play mini golf?

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Holy Moly?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah? We went to Holy Moly. Yeah, and I beat
the boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Oh and God forbid your gay and you beat him?

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Like I was so smash. It's like having the best time. Yeah,
Like I didn't care. But we're walking out and the
boyfriend's gone really quiet and they're broken up now so
I can tell this story. And my bestie Emma.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Was like, what's wrong.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
You're sad because you lost. He has just turned around
and he says.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Shut up, just shut up, okay.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
In public in front.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Of She was kind of probably taking the piece. Oh
he's so sad.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
She was trying to cheer him up and he has
just snapped, and I was like, it's embarrassing, it's really
validating for me.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, you're like, I keep going and yell at him again.
When I played Holy Molly with my last boyfriend, I
beat him on the first couple of holes and he
definitely picked up the He was like, oh, not some
fun game anymore like let's And obviously he ended up
beating me, but it's like, I don't think he would
have enjoyed the experiencing one, but he wasn't like that.

(38:48):
Like I've never had someone like actively be like a
bad fucking girl like smashing that ship.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
I do.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I think that'd be the biggest egg.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
I find it really funny as well, when a guy like,
say you got back from a day, It's like, oh,
who won, and they won't been acknowledged.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
It was just it was fucking easy, like it was.
This ship wasn't even real golf anyways.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
We weren't even keeping school.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
I don't know, I didn't keep the score ripples up
the score sheet. All right, guys, Well, I love you,
and next week we will be doing a little Ballei
recap and I can't wait to chat to you. Then bye,

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
