Doing it for the plot

This week it's chit chat with my pal, Amy Coleman, who used to go on dates purely for the plot (and just to get out of the house, as she says herself). Somehow, she managed to attract some very emotional men (brace for stories re poems and plastic roses), and we have a lil cackle going back and forth over our dating stories. These days she’s happily married but the stories live on.... like a museum.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Conness at Haweshift. So this week I am joined by
my pal Amy Coleman. We were out a few weeks
ago on Stony Batter for an engagement party and we
ended up you know whatever, We're a fucking five or
six drinks saying, got knee deep in these dating stories
and I said to where you have to share these
with the podcast listeners Amy, and then here we are

(00:32):
so fun. Fact actually keep an eye out for Amy
in the brand new National Lottery ad for euro Dreams,
where you can win twenty thousand a month for thirty years.
She is one of the three girls opening up to
the door when your man rocks up with the price.
This one's a bit of like comedy, just some funny
dating stories with zero heavy lifting for the brain.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
So conseltass. So we were.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Down in Heinsbar. When was that? That was two Saturdays?
It's got to two stecds ago. And how did we
even get talked about the dayton.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Because one of your friends was talking about if you
put something on your profile? Oh fuck yeah yeah, and
I've seen that on your Instagram. You were putting stuff up,
Like what do you think about this? Because I didn't
know because back when like I was using the apps,
you didn't have that much thing. I saw like centimeters
one hundred and sixty centimeters like height. I didn't seen
that before, Like I didn't know you could click so

(01:23):
much stuff, Like there's a lot doing there. Bay Shared
add more and more things into it. And she was wondering,
now she was going to push leafs.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Leaves on her profile because she's a big weed smoker. Yeah,
and I shot, I think you should. So then the
fear there was that she was going to attract a
load of stoners. So she Yeah, she smokes weed every day,
but she has a very full life and she is
a go.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Getter, big job, has the dog there, has her own house,
lifts on her own fairly.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, doesn't let it stop her. And she with the
fear is that men who you know, sat at home
in their boxers.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Eaten eating crisps and I'm easily a thought of prown
cocktail crisps and usually do you like that? Is disgusting?
I think they're disgusting.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Who advise them stoners?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Stoners with a no. We were there and we were
talking about because it brought me back to like when
I would have been dating and trying to see how
that approach is now. So like when you were dating before,
my fellow, your fella, would your style of being like
go to like you're going to approach or was it

(02:32):
more like sit back? No?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I would I would kind of sit back, because anytime
I did approach, it just didn't go anywhere. Like on
bumble when you had to write first, I was never
I didn't have sweet luck with that.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm not very good at puns. I'm not very
good at like catching bean. Like I'm not very good
equips and text. She's the fucking effort of it as well.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Like, I just don't know how fellas do it when
you have to look at their profile and like find
something interesting, yeah, to comment on or just to catch
somebody's eye. I couldn't be a man.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
No, No, it's very difficult. But I'm say that when
I was dating, I think I approached in the masculine way.
Oh did you? I think I did. Like when I
when I think about like the gender stereotypes, I think
like women, we are more we sit back, we wait, like,
we make eye contact across the room, a little smile,

(03:19):
grumbs actually embarrassed. But no, I didn't do that. What
I did was I think I dated genuinely just for fun.
Like I when I think back from eighteen up until
I would say when I came back from Barcelona, so
like maybe twenty four, I properly dated with no intention

(03:40):
of having a boyfriend, just to what just see where
it's talking, honestly, just get out of the house and
have a bit of crack like every day. To me,
I would have if anybody asked me in a day,
I probably would have gone on a day. How many
days do you think you've had? Many first days sha've
have been on. I don't know how long.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
You were you're with Cormack, you're married and all that
in years on yours thirtn years and then I haven't
worried out you were single.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
For I'd say up until Comick. Comick was my first boyfriend.
I'm telling you, I pinky promise. He was my first
work your first boyfriend. I know I married, Yeah, I
know it is mental, but I met him later in
life and I didn't want a boyfriend. Like even when
I was a teenager. My mom was very much like, look,

(04:26):
take your time, don't be worse than attended. Right. She
was very like that when we grew up, and what
that created for me was no rush.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
At all, no rush at all, but it made me
have a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
And then actually the opposite happened because I was listening
to your one about attachments and I realized in relationship
by being anxious attachment. Okay, so then what when you
realize that you were like that?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
You were like, oh, don't want to be like that,
so I go in a relationship I.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Like, literally, I think from a teenager, I was like nothing,
I don't want to be attached.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
So I'd take home it was really good for what's reassuring? Oh,
I'd say, he's fucking great for anxious person exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, but when I was dating, I would have been
like avoidance definitely, like I was just having fun. I
really was just having fun like I can't and I think,
you know, I think it was we're talking to your
friend a bit about like when you're looking do you
meet someone? Or when you're not looking do you meet someone?
And when I wasn't looking, as when I met Cormork,

(05:22):
where did you find out acting bass? No? Yeah, more fine,
it's actually really embarrassing. He came in and I'm if
I fancy someone you'll know because I won't be able
to talk. So I was like, bla, like, i'mon't really
I can be funny and have the bands with like anyone,
but if I actually think they're sexy, like I can't, like,

(05:43):
I can't like I'll get this wet. See you were
going to be doing a like improbably kind of shit.
Oh no, we got just we got put up one
on one in an a Meiser technique exercise where he'd
make eye contact for fifteen minutes or my in silence
like monks just in there getting their money out. No,
so you repeat what the other person says. So let's

(06:04):
say I say to you, oh, you've got brand, and
it goes back and forth, back and forth. Did it
for fifteen minutes? Right. My teacher was like, Amy, there's
something you want to do. And in one of the
rules in the studio is that you can do anything
when you're on stage a perform sexually assault, physically assault
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I feel like there was another one, but yeah in
front of people.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, people were meeting the face off each other.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
What people were me in the face off each other?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
So I was doing it with him. I know, I know, no,
not for me, not for me. So we were doing
this back and forth, back and forth, and my teacher
was like, oh, there's something you want to do in me,
so you should just do it. And I was like no,
and I didn't wanted to kiss them, and I'd never
kiss anyone.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Sorry, that is so embarrassing that you're someone was saying
to you, Amy, there's something you want to do.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
There's something very clear to all of us.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
So it's very clear, Amy that you want to shift
the face off this well, Amy, your saliva is actually
falling from your mouth.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
You like, you're right in the you're red in the face.
You're like, you're blend to do it, like we can
pushing down. You're like like but she said, oh, yeah,
we can know it's something. I was like, no, I know,
I know, I know, I know, And I'd never kiss
someone on the stage because I like this, like, I
just don't trust men, that's the truth. Like, and I've
had men be weird, so I'm like, I don't want

(07:19):
to get into a weird situation now. So I just
I gave him like a real quick and then I
ran to the other side of the room and went
against the wall like this because I hated that I
did it. And then I turned around and like Kormacks
stayed like like he was really awkward, so he didn't
have to do so he was like dancing at me,

(07:40):
and then would you start a texting? After that, we
just continued tackson and now here we are we like
a little story just actually off there. I know it's
it's actually reading in cringe story as well, because we
both have two versions of meeting each other. He met
me might by me like doing a scene on the stage,
just the first time I ever saw me, and of
course at me and then mad about me, like and

(08:03):
then talent, well, she's so challenged and she's so sexy.
And then I was getting ready to leave a class
and he was coming in for a class and I
dropped my earphone and then he appeared and he was like, oh,
I can help it, and I was like yeah. I
was like, I don't even want an airphone. I don't
even know. I don't even need it anymore. Actually I
don't even need I don't even need my He's like,
of course he needs your earphone. I was like, no,

(08:23):
I don't even need airphones anymore. And I just left.
Get that's how I get. I'll go what did you
leave your earphones? Yeah I didn't. I couldn't find you. No,
I don't even need I don't even like I was.
It was so awkward, but that's how I was like
on the floor. No I didn't. You're like, but I
don't even I don't even need that. I was doing
like this, like no, no, you don't have to have
I don't know. But that's when I fancy if I

(08:45):
fancy someone like And that's what I was thinking about
even coming talk to you today. I was like, when
I won those dates, I didn't fancy any of them.
I don't need to fancy them, like it's some of
them are cute, but yeah, you were just going on
the phone. Yeah, but I would encourage that because it
makes really good like times and stories.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
So like good stories, and we're gonna get into it, Yeah,
get into it, like the one.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Story one of all the stories. Do you know what's mad?
When I was telling day is, I actually to myself
as because obviously I'm I'm removed from happening now because
I'm a married woman, I'm in taken woman. I met
this guy, so what I would do right again if
sounds like if I'm mad, like this went mean by
masculine energy, is that I would go to men. So
I would go over to and I'd say, what's your name?

(09:29):
And then I'd like introduce myself. Is this that what
we talked about in Ireland? In Ireland? No, in Ireland. Yeah,
in Ireland, I think because I got her when I
was nineteen, we're not gonna go into that. But when
I got her when I was nineteen, and I think
something switched to me where I was like, I'm either
gonna stop, like let this moment stop me from like

(09:49):
being confident. And then I kind of this is a
mad person for me to say who White Channel? We
know Dell Boy from Oh my God what? Yeah, because
my granddad reminds me of them. So I love big
fur coats and I love like, oh so I kind
of felt like a cheeky chappy, like that's so funny.
I get trolled by a fella who has a picture

(10:10):
of Rodney Trouter. He throws me all the time. He
says that I am the.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Biggest man hating page on TikTok, that all I do
is be hate from it.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
So actually that when you said tell boy, I was like, oh,
that's a trigger for you.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
But Rodney Trotter and his name is Rodney Trouter, but
his name is Rodney Trotter, and he's a picture of
that's so embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's who he chose to be as a troll. And
if we watch only fields and horses, that's the weaker
of all the men.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
And the thing.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
A bit more he is. He's the meeker when he's like,
oh good, like he's the one. He's not like coming
up with all the ideas.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
This fella isn't. It's whenever I put up things about
like fucking women going through abuse and whatever, then he
always says things like, yeah, what about the men? If
you're always saying that the women are you know, get
fucked over by the men or whatever, And I'm like,
what are you doing for the men, Rodney? What are
you doing anyway? I hate it.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I hate when you're in a room full of people
and then someone will go, you know, men also go
through that too. I'm like, we're not talking with the men,
talk with the women. My friend over here is talking
about her own. Sorry, so stop it, shut it. You
tell me so I be.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Like, literally, I would walk I love your number, I'm
a number anybody what you're selling, what you're selling, no
wonder imagine me walking around, But I did.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I was. I felt I kind of yeah, not like
I talked my head and channeling del Boy. But my
granddad was a really big part of my confidence. A
lot of the women in my family we got a
lot of that from my granddad. We got the softness
from my nanny. And so when I'm feeling insecured, it's
kind of that. Yeah, there's kind of masculine, more energy,
not like weirdly like not like approach men, like like

(12:00):
going for them. I'm gonna need that. Yeah, But I
would walk around kind of have a scope and then
see if there was anybody I liked. I would literally
say I'm going to do a lap, Like I would
say that to the girls, I'm gonna go do a
lap in about workman's specifically, Yeah, and I'd walk the
whole top of it and I would just have a
little look. I could just be insite and I threw
the waters all around. Yeah, I just have a little nose.

(12:23):
And then most of our I do my talking in
the smoking area because he can't talk in there. And
I walked around to a group of men and I said,
did anybody have it like? And then I saw the
one that I fancied, So when he whipped out a liar,
I was like, I've got to talk to him. And
then I would talk to him and I would literally
be like, well, if you want. I took his phone
and I would put my number in it and I'd say,
if you want to want to date, you draw me

(12:45):
message it. So it's very much in there, but it's
it's so empowering because they're like, well if he doesn't
like anyway, So he ends up texting me and we
won a date and we went to Octoberfest, which I
thought was actually a really cool idea because his ideo
is idea, Yeah, which it was a really good idea.
And he was Charlie Brown here, and he looked a

(13:05):
little bit like.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Hereditary, the man in that gnat Wolf.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
We met up. Seemed nice and then we ordered our
first drink. And you know how when you order in
any of those places, the glass gets a deposit. Basically, yeah,
the big Stine, the Big Shine. Yes. So it was
twenty euro a drink, but it was tenure for the liquid, right,
so do you know what I mean? So you're gonna
get that tenurre back? It was like what, I can't

(13:33):
believe that's forty euro And I was like, oh, like
riasure and don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. We're having
a nice time. That it was my turn to get drink.
I said, I'll get this one, because it was like
really upset and I'm not really I don't know about you,
but I don't really care about though.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I think for the first couple of days it's like
an insterview like interview kind of process, like I would
do you get a drink?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I get a drink, You get a drink I get.
I'm the exact same.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I don't like knowing that I went out and
the man paid for everything, and like I'm the king,
not gonna see him.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Gain completely agree, and I like, I like them offering
the first one. I think they were nice. Yeah, but
I'm the same. I don't like, don't like that. So yeah,
I go up and mine's twenty euro because obviously I'm
just paying for the liquid and not the glasses. And
then he's like, how's that happening? And I was like, remember, remember,
we're gonna come back with her now and you're gonna
get those backs. You're gonna get twenty years back. So

(14:21):
that's all we're gonna get there. You're gonna get your
money back. He still couldn't understand. He kept talking about it,
and I was like, the liquid is the money that
then these.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Have their own one.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
And but he was very on the first day, he
was very like, I can't I free to meet my dog.
Here's a picture of me on the jet ski. You're
gonna love going on jet skis. And I was like,
I don't know, you like wartersports. I'm gonna go along
with this because again I'm just here for the crack.
He's like, my man would really like you. Like it
was a lot very soon for a first day, and

(14:51):
this happened to me a lot where I was having
a good time. Again. Maybe it's because I was going
into these situations with not really wanting to have anything afterwards.
I think I was going in like this is a
one off for having a go crack. And he's there
talking about his mother and he's just happening down nothing
and like Spice Girls comes on, I'm dancing the spice
girls and he's doing that thing which gives me the ick.
And this happened to me a lot where he would

(15:11):
look at me like five hundred days the summer, you know, like,
oh she could fix everything, cooing over you, cooing yeah. Gross. Well,
Diskill on the first day liked blood. If that is.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Actually how you feel about someone, you know, you fucking
hold it together, yeah, you know, hold it together.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
But there's just a bang off. Yeah if you do that. Like,
I'm just like, now I really don't really know. I'm
going like this and I'm like, whoa. So we leave.
As I'm leaving, I mentioned about these nuts. He's fine
to pay for the nuts to schuberry nuts, which I'm like,
all right, well now these are about six euro you'ren't
going to have any of them. We do a lovely
walk home and we get to a pizza place and

(15:49):
I bump into a friend of mine who was on
her first date. And on her date, the guy didn't
pay for anything, so she was drunk and she was
going off. She was like, and he didn't even ask
me this, and but black going off, going off.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I'm like, well, he also was complaining about money.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
This is a situation. Yeah, me and my friend as well.
I was like, and I was like, yeah, this is so.
And so then we go back to his now, and
honest to god, I did go back because he told
me where he lived and I'd never been at that
type of place before. I was just on the keys,
but it were a nice view of the yeah, listie. Yes.
So I was like, all right, very interesting. I've already

(16:25):
missed my boss. Might as well. I'm going to get
Taxy anyway, might as well. Jib Green Tea was like,
he's like, yeah, we go in. You did have a
green tea. I did genuinely had he had green tea? Yeah, yes, mine.
So we go in and then I can't believe you're
green tea. We go in and he shows me his
room and so there's two single beds and like, look, listen,

(16:46):
it was what the time was, where all renting people
living in college, two single beds. And he was like,
I'll go put on the tea as a grand and
I know he see the blanket on his bed and
had all these T shirts. So I thought, that's lovely.
I'm there looking at it, and then again I could
feel something like over my shoulder and I look around
and who's standing in the doorway cooing again, Like he's like,
did you do you like the blanket? It was like, yeah,

(17:12):
it's lovely. Yeah, yeah, that's all my old T shirts
and the blanket. Yeah, my man made that for me.
I was like, oh my god, that's really cool. Wish
I had one of them. That's cool. And then the media,
I'm like, I hate every moment of this situation. It's disgusting.
I go in, we sit down, his roommate came in,
and his roommate was really phone and I remember thinking like,
why didn't they meet you like when work? Yeah, he

(17:34):
was trying a bit of crack out, like he was
having a bit of crack and I was like, so
we sit on the couch, we have a green tea,
and he leans in for the kiss, and you know
what looked.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm not I'm all right for having a little smooch
and seeing if that might be sparks, and I'm always
here for giving it a chance. But it was cold, cold,
mouth cold. You know when you kiss and it's cold out,
the lips are cold, but the inside is warms.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
You're like, m but.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's cold everywhere, and we're having a hot drink. Now
I'm feeling so cold everywhere inside, inside, inside, because that's
the first thing I remember thinking like that was a
cold tis, that was a cold tongue. Yeah, that's actually
grow saying out loud, cold tongue, cold fish. Well, he
he was leaning on me like like swim sitting here,

(18:22):
and I'm very like I'm imaed like yeah, that wasn't
a good kiss. I might leave soon and how can
I exit this scenario? And I had a statement necklace
on and remember when they were in this big eagle
necklace and he starts touching my necklace and he says
going eagle, like doing a baby voice. Ah, And I
was like, what's worse is his head was kind of

(18:44):
like on my shoulder, so he was like ego, looking
up like trying to make a fly, trying to make
a fly.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
So I was like, yeah, eagle, like know what I'm saying.
I was like, Tom's a kid, Yeah eagle, Yeah, there
is an eagle, and that's it. That's my hand. But
I was like, yeah, that's eagle. And then I was like, right,
I might actually I might go and I mis grab
the taxi and he this is not a joke. He
literally did the most downward frown, like cartoon frown. I'm like,

(19:18):
and I remember thinking in my head, how do I
handle this moment? I just have to say okay, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
As I'm leaving, he says, oh, by the way, when
I was leaving and I was going to meet you,
you know, my friends gave me this to give you.
And he was kind of doing a like oh so stupid,
and I'm stupid that kind of way. And it was
a plastic rose and the petals were plastic. All was plastic,
and he's like, so maybe because tonight I just you know,
lots of you can have it. And it's mortified. Yeah,

(19:57):
And I go home. He's texting me and I. One
thing I will say it wasn't very good at was
that I should have been more direct, like I don't
know how you found dame was saying no to somebody
and saying it doesn't work. It is way better than
making up lies. So I made this lie that I said.
He was like, when can I see you next? I
can just cycle to Cloncilla State, like he really wanted
to cycle over. I didn't even own a bike, so

(20:18):
I didn't know how we were going to hang out
with his bike, but he really wanted to cycle over.
And I was talking to clon Pilla from town to
Cloncilla and I was texting on sitting on my couch
like hungover, being like, na, sir, I'm not in I
have the babysitting mulling gar my godson. I do have
a godson who lives in Mongar. I was like, I'm
there all weekend. I don't know when I'm back, and
he was like, okay, maybe next week. I was like maybe,

(20:39):
but again, I don't know when I'm gonna be back.
For this works like hard babysitting. Fast forward to like
the Friday. Let's say I'm out on the Thursday or
the Saturday, and I'm in town in Temple Bar and
I'm meeting up with my two best friends, telling them
this story and doing the whole like I'm funny, like
you know, egging on for them as well and doing
I'll this, and then out of nowhere, all of these

(21:02):
cyclists or runners run go by and we go whoa
churn up? Where were you intermople?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
We were?

Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know the stage store cafe is? Do you know
what project Arts is yes, basically across from.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
That who whoo?

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Who's standing just behind them across the road, So like,
literally what you got that vertical? Parallel? Per perpendicular? Is
that perpendicular? Sorry, I don't know, straight across the road?
Straight across the road. So I'm like, it's like something
from a movie. Standing there with the saddest face in
the world. Is that is perpendicular? Prependicular? He's standing there

(21:38):
and he's like looking at me, like I can't believe
he's thinking she's shopping wood and guard baby, So what's
she doing here in Temple bag So you locked eyes
like cross locked eyes through the cyclist they go by.
I go, I see them, did you say hello?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
And went straight to my friends looked at them. I'm like, yeah,
so yeah, that was the dating story. Like trying to
like not go back talking about it. He walks like
up the road. So if I'm at Project Arts, he's
going towards Temple bar Bar, let's say he's going to
be there, and he fully does it, turn around like
from a movie and shakes his head like a fuck off.
It's not so dramatic. It's a weird. It is a weird, though,

(22:17):
I'm sorry, like it is weird, Like I think that's
a weird way to react on the first date. She
can has said, he obviously thinks he's in some sort
of like yeah, but that's what I feel like. I've
attracted like men who think they're not him, not himself
actually is at his moments, definitely for sure. And but

(22:38):
I've the man who, like I had gone on like
obviously I had crap dates and all this, like we
dates like that were men who I feel I thought
they were in movies. But I don't know if it
was our generation or something.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't know if I've ever experienced that. I mean, though,
I really think that you you have, you have gone
for a certain type of man. They were exuding a
certain something. You were picking it up, you were loving it.
Then whatever, you obviously didn't enjoy it when they go
further in. No, he must have been given off some
vibes and workmans.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I think I actually think he did. I think what
happened was I just thought he had nice hair and
a nice house, and I said, do you know what
you'll do?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
And then didn't.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't remember personalities like I'm just like you're you're
a bit all right, like let's test you out tomorrow.
That's basically what my bratin was like, Like I don't
like if I was picking up lads on a night out.
Oh No, I've had times where the chats were great,
Like when I was in Barcelona, I met this English
lad and when we met in the bar, we talked

(23:39):
all night like it was a really fun meet up,
and then we continue to stay in George for a
long time after. But like I was true, like snapchat
and stuff, and like sometimes you get random. For one time,
I got a photo of him in the bath with
loads of bubbles and I was just sitting there. Yeah,
I was like, I don't had a photo over my pasta.
I was like, that's what I'm doing. I hope you're

(24:00):
enjoying your bath. I went on a date with a fella,
Joe Maga, And it's.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Easy to go obviously on a date with somebody and
you know, you think that they're one way, but they
actually turn out to be totally not the way that
you had thought they were going to be. So I
went to the height with this fellow who didn't drink,
and that would be well. I just said that I'm
going to go for it. I know that I would
be a decent drinker, yet drink would be you know,

(24:29):
it has a lot to do with so socializing, and
it helps calm down as well climb you down.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, I drinking on a day for a drink, oh exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
But when we got so he didn't drink. So then
he suggested that we go for a hike up the
hotel and then go for food afterwards. And then I said, no,
I'm not going on a hike with you up the hill, right,
I'm going it? Is this really the two things that
I wouldn't do on a first date, like to be

(25:00):
an out of breath right on a hill alone and
a new man that I do not know, a stranger
up a hill, and then yeah, for food then afterwards,
like that was such an elongated date and for some
other woman that would have been lovely.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Why that's really hugging me? And I said, I we said,
let's just keep it easy. Whatever, let's go for a coffee.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
And then I was busy that weekend. He was busy
the following weekend, and I said, fuck it, let's just
do an after worka coffee.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, coffee is the best way regard yet.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
So we went in and it was about half six, right,
and when he was from like the next neighborhood over,
he ended up coming to a hotel in my neighborhood.
So Grant, okay, well I went in and I ordered.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
No, I didn't order.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
I said I'd wait for him because he was only
like come behind me. And I had said to him,
you need to bring this was during COVID, you need
to bring your piece.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Of paper.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
That shows should you have your vaccination? Yeah, so for
you in Yeah, m with this, this is actually toting
that mad times.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
So I showed it. Wasn't it. Yeah, paper, It was
a piece of paper. It was we all had that
X me and Cormack a pot of us like like
a vaccination like it was like it was like a
little pink slip either bring on the planes.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yes, yes, And then people were using other people's because
they hadn't done to get their vaccinations, the dark world
of the vaccination certificates. So I had told him this, right,
and he was like yeah, Grant that he came in
and I saw him coming in and then having kind
of you know a lot of toing and frown with
the girl that the thing, and he had to go
back out to the car and get and come back in.

(26:34):
And I was like, oh, for foxsake, I fucking showed
you to book and bringing in. Yeah, that came in
and he sat down. I'll tell you it was like
drawn blood from stone, the conversation and fucking shocking, and
he was just not the man I thought he was.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Then I said, oh, I was waiting for you.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
I don't know what type of coffee you wanted, So
I was like, I'm gonna order now what you want whatever.
He was like, oh, no, I can't have coffee past
two o'clock to have in the day a day because
he won't sleep. And I said, oh fuck. He's like,
I'll just get a tye coke. So then you one
brings out over the die coke and the coffee and
that's grand. And I drank all of my coffee, like
not relatively quickly, but like within fucking twenty minutes or whatever.

(27:11):
And then it had been I'm going to say forty
five minutes, and he had drank so join little size
of a glass bottle of coke. He had put half
of the coke into a glass and then drank half
of the gas. So we drank a quarter of a
little dire class bottle of Die coke. But then when
he had when she had come over with the drinks,
he said to her can I have a straw? And

(27:32):
she was shaken so much. I was like, does he
actually have a medical issue?

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Maybe he does? Actually now if he was shaking from.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
A diet coke, he hadn't he hadn't drank the die
coke yet because he hadn't got the straw.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh he was, So I didn't know if he was nervous.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Or what was going on the issue with the coke
cole and the coffee with coffee, like if people can
drining coffee always thinking must have something of anxiety. Maybe,
And then I was like, I was like, is he
really nervou isn't? Or maybe he was anxiety?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, because my friend who can drink coffee doesn't anxiety.
Fuck well look listen, you learned that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
But so then anyway, they got to forty five minutes
and he had drank a quarter of his Diety coke
and I had to say sorry, I have to go
home and walk my dog.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
And then that was it.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
And I was like waving answer how I had a
hone over to my own car, like bye, wait, like
he han't drink a war up a coke.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
No, but that's also horrendous, Like that sounds like a
horrendous day. Oh it was shock. I hate where no
one taught when and especially when you were doing all
the talking.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I was pulling shit out of my arse. I hate
I was actually I was telling them all about a
few that my neighbors have had, Like it was just
anything that I could guess to fill the space.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
When I was doing my junior shirt, I did this, this, this,
It's like legit, how far can I go back? I
could go back to birth. I hate those dates I
went on. It when you're saying about like people that
are different than how you meet and I when I
was in Barcelona, like I had went on a few dates,
had a great time. But there was one guy and

(28:54):
he was an Italian guy and he was in this
power was like he's a really handsome man, like he
like blonde, blue eyes, really nice. What age are we talking?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
What age are we here?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
So I'm.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Twenty two twenty three he was older, he was like
twenty five twenty six, okay, and he we said we'd
meet at this metro stop, and so I assumed he
was Metro. And here he comes on his skateboard, but
not only that skates by me to twirl on a
skateboard to then come back to me. So not even

(29:25):
like showing up, skate up and go ah, hey heyn
on and look listen, I'm all here for you a skateboard.
I know some guys who skateboard now, and that's whatever,
like it's another form of sports. But I just think,
if you're meeting someone, don't show up on your fucking skateboard.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Like I've been mortified now if I was singling someone
showed up on their skateboard to me. So I just
imagine you standing there but sending. Once he's been coming
up and you're thinking, oh, here he comes in a skateboard.
He's going to stop beside me and be normal. But
not only does he arrive on the skateboard right up
in front of you, does a little twizzly twizzly.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
There was a twists twiss and it was like as
if he was like, I need to get this done
for us before we can talk, like that's it was like,
And then you just have to turn around like oh,
and like then also, what do you do? Do you
do this like well done? Like do you clap or
you just go cool? So I didn't do either of
those things. I just meant it this hi yeah, because
I was like, I have to You've made this look
super normal, so I have to say hi yeah, like

(30:21):
it's normal. We go to this like vegan place and
we sit down and we order our beer, and he
asked me, what is an Irish to say cheers? Like
that's always a good like little star do you knowing?
You to know something that's not from the same country
as you? And I say mine, and then we did
the Spanish one and then he said, in Italy you
have to make eye contact or you're going to have

(30:42):
the worst sex of your life for the rest of
your life, Like it's gonna be the worst sex ever.
All your sex is gonna be bad seven years bad sex.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
If you don't make that's what we say, you have
you never heard of, never in my life.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
So I was just like weirdo.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
I used to go snatch it and I just do
that because he said, you have to, like what is
Italian act? Don't make on the song if any airs
but he basically said that, and I was like, oh okay,
And you know, on a first date like as well,
like if someone mentioned sex straight like very early on,

(31:16):
it's a little bit like I cam down, yeah, cam down,
like straight away, like cam down. So we're talking. I
don't even remember what we talked about on the day,
like it was a very boring I remember feeling bored.
And then this group of girls came over to the
other table near us and he fully eyed her up,
like fully fully eyed her up, and then fairness when

(31:38):
I saw her, and yeah, I feel like you two
would get on, like I feel like she owns a skateboard. Okay,
do you know what I mean? Like I feel like
you would go to burnham Man together. M m, well,
I would get castrophobe. Well he's doing this in front
of you, Like how long do you think he was
looking at her for? Like oh, I would say. It
was obvious enough for me to be like, oh, he's
still looking at her. Oh no, It wasn't like do
you know we'd all do like we're both still single
people at a date like I vice, I was like,

(32:00):
okay's all right, and it'd be like a little glance
up and then you go back to him. Maybe my
glance back up with him. He did a full like
turn look at her, stared at her, and then went
back to what we were talking about. And I remember
thinking you should go out with her, like this is
not working, and I went up to go to the

(32:20):
bathroom or something. When I came back, he was over
at her table, like chatting her up on the day.
And then when it came to pain, he was like, oh,
I don't have my wallet. Of course you came in
a skateboard. What was you doing like back of jeans
like he was coming in like like the most skateboard
outfit I can think of, touching himself down and being like, oh,
and that's the worst part doing this. He knows where well,

(32:44):
pat his shoulders, hands, nose, nose, all this. The first
place you're gonna go to is your pocket. At after
forgetting me wallet, no, he said I don't have my
wallet and I was like, don't worry, I can pay
for it. And I got up to go and we
like gave a hook and he walked straight over to
her table. Is that more if you.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Walked out the front door on your own and tuddled on.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, taddled. Dad didn't even try and hide the fact
that he was now for the other girl. No, didn't
give it a fuck. And I remember thinking, luckily I
wasn't so interested. Imagine if you were really interested, I
know that's the word, you were after.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Paying for the date, Like he should have had just
a basic respect of fucking, like, oh, she's after paying
for the day.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I say, he does that the whole time. I say
he does that, I say, he skates around everywhere and
then walks around and like with no money and just
skates around and keeps out his money in like a
cardboard box or something. But yeah, so I had that.
But thankfully from meeting Kormick, it was like like we
didn't really date a lot at the beginning. We just
kind of it was kind of pretty much straightway seeing
each other. But I had this guy, right. So when

(33:45):
you're saying having like people that kind of like movie thing,
I don't know why I've had that grown up, but
because I wasn't like out here kissing all the lads
when I was in the teenagers, like I really was.
No whoever, actually wasn't why Adria Frigital the trick, Oh
my god, not frigid. I swear I'm not I'm married

(34:06):
label to know that fourteen was when I had my
first kiss. What year we so I'm trenty three twelve
thirty fourty is a third year is what? Yeah? I
would have been. Yeah, but Turgia, I did eleven, gone
into second second school yet and I had like a
remember when in the U first year and like that
was the thing people asking me like who's a frigid
And I was like, I'm not a fragian, I am white.
Friend to he's an American because I found this guy

(34:28):
on my Bibo and he just asked me one day
to be second half a random man because obviously a
man as me on Bibo to be a second half,
and yeah, because I wanted to make so much jealous story.
It's random man, full man. He had no picture. His
picture was like a heavy metal sign and I was like,
that's my boyfriend. Never talked to him, He's just my
second half of bible. You just used them to never
we're not being given. He must have wanted to make

(34:50):
someone jealous and I was using him as someone to
make jealous and ideal match exactly. Never spoke. I don't
have to tell him that you're not gonna be my
second half anymore. Just made my friend. We just changed
to the second half. Or this was like the Lawering
War books. You got my next poita this day. I
waited till this exact moment. Do you know when you're
kind prayers? I think women get this a lot. I

(35:11):
actually talked to Cormack about this, where when you're kind
to some men, they see that as like, oh my god,
she wants to shog me. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Like
why is that? I don't I actually don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I can't tell the difference I think between flirting and kindness.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
No, they don't, which is crazy because I know the difference.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
But like I imagine a woman like a woman to us,
like being friendly, and then a woman who was coming
on to you, very very different.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
It's very different. So when I started my acting classes, right,
so obviously I had met Cormick around this time, there
was another guy. I think comic was more closer to
him than I was, because they would go for drinks
after classes. Well, I would just go to class and
then I go home. And this would be in twenty six,
around twenty six, i'd say, And it was this one

(35:59):
guy and I literally, I think the only conversation I
have with him we all went to a bar. One
It was when me and Cormack were seeing each other
as well, and I asked him he had a panda
on his phone, a picture of a panda, and I said, oh,
I love pandas. They're my favorite. And then he was like, oh,
I like them too. Like that sounds like a child conversation,
Like literally like pandas at like pandas to be my girlfriend.

(36:22):
So I was like, oh, yeah, I loved them. I
love going to see them at the zoo. End of conversation.
That was all I said. Right, me and Cormack, when
we first start going out, we actually stopped seeing each
other for a while. We had like a little woman look,
one of those ones we're not seeing each other. Yeah,
you know, I don't care. I don't want to be
around you. So we kind of stopped seeing each other
for a little bit during that time. This man pandam

(36:43):
man will call him, said out loud to Cormick. I
think when I asked game me out and he knew
that you and Tim, Oh they didn't. He didn't know, guy,
but he was like I was thinking when I ask
game me out, and Cormick, because he was so obsessed
with me even though we were on the separation first,
he couldn't say to him, don't because I'm still like

(37:06):
her and I want to don't want her to be
with anybody else. He had to be respectful in his head,
which a career place, I'm like most lads would probably like,
don't be going there, like you know what I mean?
He was like, sure, ask her, like I mean she's single,
like obviously Corpick mad about me here and saying I're
go on like fume unless someone's even thinking better.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
And so he never asked me.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Pandaman never asked me, okay, and I will say hand
on her. You know how I said a while ago
that I pretty much would probably go on a date
with anybody. You wouldn't have no like they Honestly, I
just didn't find them attractor. I think for me actually
gone on a date with anybody. If I'm having a
good banter with someone and they asked me out.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
I probably would have gone on a date.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Okay. So physical attraction is definitely important, but if they
were really fun as well, and I'm like, oh my god,
I'm getta vibe this way, I'd probably be up for
a date. But again I wasn't looking at as dates
as like prospects, do you know what I mean? It
was just a bit of a like I'm making another
friend who might want to kiss me, so he said,
So he doesn't ask me out right, And I don't

(38:10):
even know any of this. Kormack never tells me this
because in his head, he's like, there's nothing as all,
Like one guy said in the bar, this thing and
me and Kormack get back together. We get back seeing
each other, and Kormack tells me, ah, I'm gonna have
to tell Pandamn that we're together this when we were
a great friend boyfriend. And I said, what, that's really weird.

(38:31):
Why would you tell them Pandamn Again, Remember I only
had one conversation about Pandas, So I'm like, this is
out of nowhere. I don't know this man at all. Yeah,
and Korma's like, ah, he kind of like said he
was going to ask you. Oh, so I know he
fancies you, And like I feel bad because I said, yeah, Gouan,
and now I'm with you and we are. Yeah he could,

(38:52):
but he's not like your best friend. I don't really understand,
and even now comas like I probably didn't have to
say anything. I was like, a night probably, I mean
he tells him right, he was very very disappointed, and
he said I'd like to speak to her, oh right,
And Cormack was like, I don't think you need to
speak to her, like, I don't know why you would.
He's like, no, I think I would like to speak
to her. I have something to give her, right, oh

(39:14):
my god. Well, the Chromic messages me and goes, are
you would you want to speak to him?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
I was like, I don't fucking know him. I was like,
why are we even talking to him?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
This is really weird. I said, you know, I'll do
it for the story.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
I want to speak to You'd you still be seeing
each other as no?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
No, So how the class works is that you have
your years, so imagine like you're in the secondary school, right,
so we have our six year but fifteen six year
meet to do the council, right, Yeah, so I might
see him if we do a rep class. Well is
my year of class? Wasn't him included? I think he
was in Qormack's right. So there was like the training
class and then there was like the walk in classes.
Why only saw him like twice in the walking class,

(39:52):
Like I really can't remember him. But so he messages
me and he says like really formal, like it was
like an email. I was like, good afternoon, Amy, like
it was really really weird reform and I was like,
he basically asked me, would you meet up? I just
want to chat to you, and Comick told me that
he's in a relationship now, and I just feel if
anybody get something off my jest, So I say, sure,

(40:13):
go on yet because I'm like, I'll do it for
the story now, like I don't know, I have no
nothing in this game. I'm gonna just do it for
the story. So I meet when the globe, Oh the globe.
I know, I know, I've really found memories of the globe.
We re down real love, So I am.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
I walk in.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
This is during the day, right, the new globe was
now brightlace. No, he's sitting right at the back next
to the stairs, so like where you go down to rera. Yeah,
ware's guitar behind Jesus right and a whiskey in a
glass like a movie. Again, I don't know why does
this happening? With me. So I go in. I'm like,

(40:53):
I'm not feeling into this, like I's not straight away
and went I've been to too many of these movies.
I'm not doing this again. So I sit down, I go,
what's this story? Sorry, Panda man? Panda man give him
a hug, and he's like, thanks for thanks for coming,
if you want to take a seat, Like that's literally
how he was approaching me, right, And I was like, okay, yeah,

(41:13):
and I'm keeping mind lighting bub but this is.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Life, being like meeting up with your heartbroken and they
all after breaking up after eight years and having to
move to a different country.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Yet like he's been to war and he's come back
and moved on. So I've sit there and he was like,
I don't really know what else to say, so I'm
majoring this. He takes from his back a pink paper
I typed up, printed off, and then struck on po

(41:45):
We're past the shells around the edge, go away from me,
go away? Oh what kind of pasta show? The ones
that kind of like snails. Do you know the one
said fetchit genius? No, No, Fetching's long. It's like it
goes in like a shell. So not bow tie, not pennay, Okay,

(42:07):
that was when it's like quite this, like a little
oyster around the edges, glitter ah, oh my god, like
arts and crafts, like arts and crafts. So he did
this at home. So this was mid mid in his
mid twenties. He's older than me. Oh so he was.

(42:27):
So I was twenty six, I'm gonna say he was
twenty twenty nine, oh lord. And he typed this up
on his computer and he printed it off and he
cut it up like he sat at home listening to
some sort of music in the background while he did
this artocrafts, and he chose past the shells.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
But he knew that you are now going out with Cormack,
and he still decided so the few hours of work
that he put in here to print this off, stick
it on, get the pasta shells, stick it on, get
the fuckings to know.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
And he's still taught. This is what's going to get up.
I'm with that man. He thought, this is the most
romantic thing I've ever done for somebody. Like in his
head he must have went, she's gonna be blown away,
She's not gonna even do you know what she's gonna
marry me here now. And he had his whiskey and
he wanted this down his little whiskey, and he went,

(43:16):
I leave that with you to read, and as he
stood a band, no you're not. I know you're not
leaving me here to read. I was like, if you
wrote this up and you typed this point your computer,
you will sit here as I read it. You're gonna
sit down. And he went, because his whole act, it's just.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
You know, he had played out exactly what was going
to happen in the globe from start to finish. He
practices where he brought that guitar as a fucking prop
to gas himself up, make him give himself this image.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Is that not mortified? I would never do that in
a man. I'm mortified for this man. So I sit
here and I read his poem. Right. I don't remember
a lot of it, but I remember one line he said,
I have a face like a museum. Oh, a face
like a museum. Did he elaborate on what?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Now?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
It was something about sculptures, freckles like stars, face like
a museum. Or are you is that it? Like that's
a cute I last time? No, not like it's an
interesting one because there's many ways we can we can
go in that direction. We can say, is it that
I'm boring? Boring? Boring? Do I have many things happening

(44:26):
in my face?

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
And you have to read it a lot? Is it
old face? Is it old old face? Ichot old face?
Went a museum and I went, thank you so much
for this, Like I felt like I was dealing with
a child. I was like, I don't know how to
handle this now, because like I don't want to, and
also a little bit scared because you wrote me a music,
you wrote me a poet. And he said, can I

(44:47):
ask you something? If I had asked you on a date,
would you have said?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Yeah? And I said, jeez, what's the right answer here?

Speaker 2 (44:55):
So I said, I said, I don't know, maybe, like
it depends. I could have said, but I don't think
we would have went past that date, is what I said. Okay,
it was a nice way of doing It's like, yeah,
I probably would have. And then he was like, basically,
just like I tried to say to him that you know,
I fancied you, and you know I was meant to
get there first sport and yeah, but he doesn't decide

(45:16):
that and he doesn't decide that, and then I left,
so I left him there.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
On his own.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
How long was it though, the meeting?

Speaker 1 (45:22):
No him saying to your man that I wanted that
I wanted to ask out months.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Yet shit, get off the mon We rekindled a good
three four months. But sorry either way, like mental behavior.
But that's not even the first time someone gaming a poem.
I went on a first date with some before and
he told me he wrote poems, and then he sent
me a pone when I was on the bus and like,
bless him, like tip and would because bless them. He's
obviously was going through stuff. But it was about like depression,

(45:48):
tarts and how do.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
You reply back to someone who put their hearts owe
to the poem?

Speaker 2 (45:51):
So he gave you a poem. He texted me, I
think I'm ready to send you one of my poems,
right okay, And then I got it in text form.
That's why it was about depression, and I just said
that was very vulnerable of you. And then I never
saw him again.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Oh no, I know, I know, I know the angle
there from him, Like I thought it was going to
be like a romantic poem.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
That's the guy that wanted the first date with that
or guy. Yeah, I know. And he was a comedian,
which was even madder because like you're like, I think, well,
actually comedians, I did the yeah number one, Yeah, suicide rate. Yeah,
well I hope he's still here. Oh jesus, if you
fucking tump that.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
I'm trying to think, has anybody ever made me anything
like he made me no no carabinara, a drink, a
cup of tea?

Speaker 2 (46:52):
He made me watch Game of Trunce, like he made
me like scratch. That's the only time I received that
kind of gift. I've never gotten a physical gift like
that before. No, I'm I don't think I have. I'd
fucking die. I'm not the type of person to receive
a poem. I'm not. Yeah, you talk about your I

(47:12):
handled it, musicals, improv, fucking acting class. A lot of
ads come on you are They know that as well,
that's why you know that. But I think that's what
it is. I think it's that they think she's she's
gonna live at a bit of a fantasy for me,
because when I think back on moments with men, I
always felt like I remember always thinking it as well.

(47:33):
I think That's why I was very guarded with my
dating as well, was that I always felt like they
liked me, but they wanted to do this and keep
me here in a little jer and then right, yeah,
like I had it. Even though I said I'd never
had a boyfriend until Cormack, I had been seeing people
in like situationships, yeah, stuff like this, but it always

(47:54):
felt like for them, it wasn't the time for them,
you know what I mean? Mean, and that feels worse,
I think. So he had to take your power back
somewhere else. So that's why when I would go on dates,
they're like, well this for me? Oh yeah, do you
know what I mean? Because when they're always when it
feels like it's just for them. I remember I invite
the guy over before and he wanted to make Natcho's

(48:15):
and he had fingerless gloves and then ingers his gloves,
fingerless gloves. It wasn't called out, we weren't fingers gloves.
And he wanted to watch Pokemondas.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
So I did.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
You want? He came over said I want make fingerless
gloves and watch Pokemondas. So we did as he knew
and he knew colors of the wind who knew the
word day only was it one day only? One day on?
So that was the first time you met and he
came to your head, came he has had a free house,
singerless gloves and fingersol and that into bottle natches and
that's yeah. And do you know what they were? They're
like the wooly ones. That's the skull shy says story

(48:54):
or gross, but like it's it's gas when you look
back on those moments, because in the moment, they're like
you're just sailing through it.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Like I feel like you're just going through it. I
think it's so awkward to try and end things, like
when I went I went on a date before with
this Spanish fella and the first date was good, Yeah,
second date, I had to pick more. P didn't drive whatever,
that's fine. Drove up to Swords to watch a quiet
place too.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Uh. So he had bought the tickets, but he had
to go and like go up to the machine and
it was to turn.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
The turn the phone around and get like turn the
phone to the machine and show it the code QR
oh right ja yeah, and then the tickets would print out.
But the machine this QR code, it had a little
kind of a like a roof kind of on it,
and I don't know where he thought he was inserting
his phone, but he kept pushing it underneath the roots

(49:54):
home burst, like into a slot that wasn't there.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Oh. Then Neil's like, I don't understand. I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Then he called me over and I was like yeah,
and I was like, no, just turn it around and
face the machine. You're not inserting it anywhere.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah, your nann was like, oh fuck.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Went in to watch the Couiplace and all through do
you know, like the trailers and then the ads and
then the trailers.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah, he was roaring into my ear, like talking really
really loudly, and you know, this is like quiet time,
you stop talking, like you're watching the trailers.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
It's also how the Choiplace we should exactly we all
have been really quiet on this movie pace.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
So I was like, sorry, really, just keep it down
there a bit and he was like, it's just the
ads and I was like, yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I don't want you fucking roaring at me like he
was roaring at a full.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
On er sing And then as it went on, So
at this stage I was done with them by first.
Then I was holding my bag of popcorn, eating it
so it was like the paper bags, and I was
holding it like this two hands on with my right hand.
He was on my right and I was eating the popcorn,
holding the bag up my right hand and eating the
popcorn with my left hand. And then I just felt

(51:03):
his hand come over and slip in between my hand
on the back.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Oh my god, Actually I would die. So I was
holding the way he was hot, I actually can't bread.
That's disgusting. If he slid his hand, I would be
panicking about the popcorn. My first heart beat popcorns wherever.
I was like, I'm trying to eat. I'm trying to
trying to eat. I was getting really I could feel
I was getting really angry. Yeah, I was getting ramsy, Yes,

(51:29):
But what did you think that was romantic?

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I think he was just like Jesus, you're ever going
to stop eating? And I just kept sordid. I just
get him away from me. Then went on then and
I brought him home, sorry, brought him to his own house.
He gave me a kiss getting out of the car.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Booted at home.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Text me as soon as I got home, said, look,
I'm not feeling it, you know, yes, very much. And
he came back about about seven more messages and I
continued instead of blocking them, telling him, no, no, I'm
not feeling that. He was like, no, bring your dog
up to Santry Park tomorrow. I promise you your dog
will like me. And because your dog would like me,

(52:09):
he will show you I am a good person.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
I think we need to try this.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
You were in a different mood today, he said, different
than the first time.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
I don't know what the problem was. What I know,
and I was like, you're the fucking problem. Obviously.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
The first time he was probably on his better behavior.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Yeah, he didn't slip his hand between a paper bag
and the hand buttery hands. The heat off that as
well the panic gripping onto that popcorn with my nails
in panicked thinking about the popcorn. Dirty bastards. And then
I like, that is hard. You remind me when you
said Spanish there when I was living in Barcelona, I
had a one night stand and I brought him back

(52:48):
and he didn't speak a word of English. God bless them,
but listen, we were there for another reason, do you
know what I mean? And I when he was in
the bathroom like I was trying to make it real,
like I was trying to make a real cute And
I put like my fairy lights on right, so where
my bed was like all the fairy lights were around,
and I thought, if I was coming into this room,
I would think, oh my god, this is so magical. Right,

(53:08):
So I put it on, and he comes in and
whatever we start, you know, and as we're whatever, he
slips his.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Hand up turns off the lights. So then I'm frozen
staring at.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Him in the darkness.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
So I slide my hand up and then I turn on,
which is the other way around. Fellas want the lights
on and the girl wants to long. I know that's what.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Maybe he was really nervous or maybe like maybe it
was his first time, I don't know, but he turned
it off. So I turned it back on again, stare
it at him, like don't don't turn that off again.
I like, this is nice seeing you again. His hand
goes back and turns it off, and again it's like frozen,
like I'm what the hell are you doing. I go
by run the back and then I watched him, so

(53:53):
I'm like, we're kiss whatever, And I was like waiting
to see if I could feel his arm like move
and then I fell his hand move. I just cracked,
don't it. But the same thing that when I was
getting like to finish, like go home again, I wasn't
very good at this now, like I at least you
said what you said, Like again, I'm not very good.
So I was like, oh, you should probably go, you know,

(54:15):
mister metro and the metros every ten minutes. So he,
in his broken English, was like, oh, but there's one
in like twenty. And I was like, yeah, he should
probably go now. And we lived right next to the
metro station. Oh my god, even as he is lee
and I was like closing the door like a bye bye,
bye bye bye. And he wanted my Facebook. You wanted
something to message me on. I didn't want to give

(54:37):
him anything. I was very much like, this was what
it is. Pal, let's just let's just say what it was.
Let's just call it quits here. And he messaged me
the next stage, you want to go on a walk?
And I said, the only walk I'm doing is from
my room to the fridge and then back. But obviously
he mustn't have got that as a joke, because he
was like, or we could try outside or something like this,
and I was like, you're not getting the joke.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
I'm hung over cult so.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Different here, like I'm not actually just too my step fucked.
But he he kept implying. So I was like, you know,
I have to be honest because I didn't. I don't
even remember if I found super attractive. But I was like,
I'm gonna have to I'll just lay it out, like
I have to get better at this. I was trying
to get better at saying no, I'm not coming up
with I have the babysit, my god, so I'm looking

(55:19):
for the ring good. So I said, no, listen, I am,
I'm not really looking for anything. I had a really
nice star last night and I wish I all messed.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
That's what I said.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
And then he was like, I'm not looking for anything either,
and I was like, well, yeah, because you asked me
to go for a walk. Oh yeah, and I'm not
going to go for a walk with it because I'm
not really looking for anything. It was what it was,
and he didn't respond, and then out of nowhere, it
was just like I think this happens to a lot
of women as well. It was just like all these
horrific texts like calling me all the names, asked me

(55:47):
if I wanted an orgy, like yeah, like he was
like your core you'rla. And then it was like back
like two different things like oh, I'm like how are
you today?

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Like that?

Speaker 2 (55:59):
And then out of nowhere, did you want an orgy
or something like it was like he didn't understand that.
I meant I didn't want anything with you because I
don't want anything because I had was you responding to
these times? No? No, no, no no no, I've blocked
the mark of the orgy. And I was like, she's
not responding to me. She must want an orgy. She
must want an orgy. She said, she was walking back
and forth from the fridge. Maybe I'll get her if

(56:20):
I offer the if Maybe if I get another six
men and we all just get to the gaff, she
might be able to say no. No, We'll be able
to say no
