Speaker 1 (00:28):
I went to a wedding last weekend in Sydney, and
it was a wedding that I suppose I was the
plus one two. It was Eliza's friend my wife that
went to UNI together. There's a good little group of
them that still hang out with each other all these
years later. I've met them plenty of times. I'm friendly
with them all. I wouldn't have been invited if Eliza
didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Right, Yes, okay, they are e Liza's friends.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yep, forget it under plus one.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So as I'm sitting there at the wedding, I'm looking
at all of these beautiful bonds being formed between.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
The groom and the wife.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The families become locked together forever honor. Yeah, the bridesmaids
and the groomsmen like that's a bond. You've had this
whole big day or two together, and you had the
bucks together. You never forget it. There's another bond that
is formed at weddings that I think is just as strong,
but not lasting at all, because as.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Soon as the wedding finishes, it's over. Yeah, I don't
care anymore. The moment in.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Time in the wedding, though, there's few bonds stronger than
all the plus ones finding out who the other plus
ones are.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Ah, the plus one bond, the plus one bond.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
So you're standing there, they've had the wedding, everyone's lingering around,
having a glass of bubbles.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The girls will go for photos. Oh do you hate
this part?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm okay, what did you do?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
As a plus one?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
What you do is you start to scout out who
the other plus ones are? So you're standing there, someone's
taking the photo. I know they're a plus one. The
other boys, all of a sudden that are now standing
awkwardly with half.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
The corona in their hands are the other plus one?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Tell me your awkward conversations, so you start your clock
em early.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It's sort of like a who do you belong to?
Type thing, like a whose dog is that in a
dog park.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Who's your dog?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, Od Lisa, Yeah, my dog's alas Alick. Who's yours? Oh,
mine's Monica. You know. Piece is how we start forming
this bond quite early in the day, and then as
it goes on, you start to become more friendly and
you'll be stuck with one of the plus ones on
the table, so you become friendly with him. You start
(02:29):
syncing up a little bit with them, so you're always
in the bathroom at the same.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Time, sharing a urinal plus it's like a sorority out. Yeah,
you share a cake. We're going there. We eat the
urinal cakes age. That's what happens in The Men's Dirty Dog.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
But you really notice it when the dance floor is
pumping along. You've got a pretty good gauge of who
the plus ones are. Now you're friendly with each other.
You've all forgotten each other's names. But I know that
he plays footy or he's an accountant. I know these things.
As the dance floor starts, I walk outside of this
wedding and another one of the boys is there, walks
(03:02):
out three meters after me, says to me, only one
word goes shoes question Buck, and I turned to him
and I said shoes, And I noted at him because
we were both walking to our cars to get our
wives their flats because they both didn't want to dance
in heels.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Four It's the bond.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It gave you a job because as a plus one
you feel like a bit of a loser, like a
spare part.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I spend a lot of time in the toilet as
a plus one, just sitting there on my phone, hiding
from people. Whereas this is a great opportunity for you
to go out and do something and take ages to
do it.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But as a plus one you're a spare part. And
then now also you're the lackey to get your wife
a shoes.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But that Yeah, I love it as a plus one
max when you have kids, because it means I can
just look after the kids, be busy, I don't have
to talk to people.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And it's just like I'll never forget these boys. I
don't remember their names, but we're Instagram friends now.
