Starting point is 00:08:14 Clueless. Yeah. Well, they've got me. Mean girls. Mean girls. Oh my, you can't sit with us. So I don't want to. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Right. I. No, let me start with the title. Well, what to know, want to know more about doppelgangers. That's quite a word, isn't it? I recently saw
Starting point is 00:08:39 on Instagram a Post on why you should run if you see someone who looks like you. I've always thought it would be fun meeting your lookalike, but seeing this post and comments on it made me generally curious. I want to know why people find doppelganger scary. Also, I would love to know some stories of folklore about them if you guys have any that you would like to share. then there was a story in here because I want to give you just one The post I saw with a clip of a woman
Starting point is 00:09:20 Encountering someone who looked like her Sitting at the back of the Sitting at the back of a bus She took when returning from work She soon realised walking back home Is that the woman she thought looked like her Had been following her kind of spooky eh
Starting point is 00:09:41 that's it I'm not going to give you every single one maybe she wasn't following you maybe she lived in the same address was a doppelganger and she was going home and she was walking behind you thinking where the fuck is this one I'm going to maybe that's a bit matrixy
Starting point is 00:09:58 though it is a bit the whole doppaggle thing is a bit matrix a hundred percent because of the theory so when I was marrying Paul. Story time.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Always story time. Which again made me think and I was like Anyway I go to the bride shop I've chosen my dress and now you go back every now and then Yeah yeah and when I went in They were like the white one And I said no mine's the
Starting point is 00:10:29 Off white cream one and they were like No lie There is a woman that's getting married And you two could be twins And she's got the white same size and you've got the cream. She's like every time you come in here, I have to check who's who. I remember you to tell him.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yeah. And in the sweet shop that I lived like kind of was underneath me where I used to live, they would every time be like someone comes in here and they look like your spit. Ew. Never met them though. Never at the same time. Never at the same time. You should ask to see the CCTV.
Starting point is 00:11:07 That woman that had the same dress. me never went back for a dress so I'm assuming the whole thing weird right it is a bit matrix yeah it was me going nah yeah not to dad my future self-point don't get married and have kids and uh somebody listened she's living her best life yeah she's in ibeef she's tanned still drunk um go on him sounds nice right so creepy doggler is incident. So it's come under encounter. Sorry. I'll try not to get it at work. It's not working. You're going to get that cough that goes on for weeks. I can't be I can't have that again. I feel like it's your, um, do you remember last year? Yeah, but I've never been sick for that.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Never been sick before that. Anyway, I first posted this in a different subreddit. It was however, largely ignored. Oh, okay. That's rude. Yeah. These are two. eerie similar doppelganger experiences. Two, this post isn't a piece of fiction. I was as perplexed as you were when it occurred. My earliest encounter occurred around three, four years ago. I had decided to stay with my aunt. Her house was big with three baths and various rooms. I was on the second floor alone when everything happened. So I was walking, no, I was working, no, I was working on a video where my youthful step-aunt appeared. I followed her into her room, excited to show her what I had done with my phone. My younger cousin was also in her arms. Both of them were female.
Starting point is 00:13:05 She wasn't in the room when I walked in. I turned behind the door thinking she was playing a joke on me. Nobody was present. I dashed downstairs to find her. her but she claimed she had not gone upstairs it was a scary experience so I stayed downstairs it's fucking weird follow someone into a room and they're not in the room
Starting point is 00:13:31 that again feels more matrix weird it is weird I had my following incident around two three years ago I'm upstairs in a house by myself once more my family home my family's home wasn't
Starting point is 00:13:46 substantial so obviously wasn't a big house so my elder sister then arrived bearing out bearing our little sister I was probably too lazy to fetch something so I called for her from across the room before exiting the room she walked up to the mirror and remained there still without responding to me I followed her out of the room as she went as a slow As she went at a slow pace, she was nowhere to be found. I dashed downstairs once again where my elder sister was showering. My younger sister was downstairs too, playing with her toys.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I was creeped out once more and stayed downstairs. Yeah, it's scary. That's two different places, two different buildings. Yeah. Numerous paranormal, numerous paranormals between these two circumstances. situations made them seem like falsehoods and fables. I was alone upstairs in a house that belonged to a relative. The people that came upstairs were all women and one of them was holding a female toddler. Both rooms had a bed with a mirror pointed straight at the direction of the bed. It
Starting point is 00:15:12 happened in the afternoon and if it's any of this, no, if it's any of this, no, if it's any use. Here are some things to consider. My aunt kept my grandfather's ashes in a container at my aunt's house. In the second encounter, the room I was in had two Santo Nino idols that looked a lot like Santonino Diaccio and Divinino. I'm assuming there's... I want you to say to the comment. What does all of this mean? Please respond promptly. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:53 We get right on that. It's a very long story. I know. Oh, so she's Filipino. So, um, the... So is she saying the people that she saw look like her? No. She's saying they look like her sisters or her aunt.
Starting point is 00:16:15 But they were in another room? But they weren't in the other room. She's followed her aunt, her baby cousin. who weren't there into a room and they weren't there and then she's oh no was it a baby cousin it was it was she had a cousin in her arms and then the next one was her sister um this actually feels like um either this feels like a couple of things either she's being fucked with by some sort spirit or to me it's like you know we speak about when the when the parallel universe and it crosses over so like in another timeline that sister aren't a walk into that place and she's followed
Starting point is 00:17:05 them but it's not and then it's switched back over that's kind of what it feels more like to me than a doppelganger because a doppelganger would be when you see someone and that is your doppelganger this feels like she's either being fucked up and you're going to be. with. I feel like on both incidents as well, she's, she's behind, she's seeing their back. Yeah. She's not seeing their face. Yeah, but you kind of know who's who. Yeah. That's what I say to women. Then, do you know when it's just like, it's, you recognize the back of them? Yeah. But is it actually their face? Like, or is it a bit more? Is it someone fucking with them? But it's what I say to you, when we go out somewhere and I don't wear my glasses, I know
Starting point is 00:17:46 who you all are because I know your body. Do you know what I mean? Like I know I can spot you a mile off because I know Your walk you're you're not your stance you're this you're that and that is how I identify everyone When I ain't got my glasses on I'm like there they are There's Emily with the limp there. Yeah with her leg drag A funny lips on the floor is definitely Emily She's waying in the wind Bit of a bit of a weird one that is weird so the first comment is like
Starting point is 00:18:20 a similar experience situation and then OPE responds quite promptly with that but it's very short and then is that the same person yeah then she responds someone else says my grandma my grandma isid is it yeah just I think it's supposed used to say that we we should never keep mirrors in front of the bed and if we did we would cover it while we sleep and when I tried to ask why she always says just do it. Hortals aren't they? Yes. Which is why my, because I always understand that you shouldn't have a mirror at the end of your
Starting point is 00:19:07 bed. Yeah. You shouldn't have your feet facing your door. Oh fuck me. There's nowhere left to sleep. But my feet are towards the door because I've got no other direction because I've got no other direction because I don't have you even into the mirror or out the door. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:25 You shouldn't have a mirror in a pool. So if you had, so if say your mirror is there. Yeah. And then you've got this door and then you've got your bathroom door directly after. So you'll create a portal to two other doors. So it shouldn't have two door ways in its view. And what's the other one? A lot of rules.
Starting point is 00:19:49 There's a lot of rules with mirrors. Yeah, it's not giving doppelgang or it's giving something else. Yeah, I feel I'm going down the spooky side of it. It does not. It does not. Right, so actually, because I was like, what have I saved from Google? And now I can remember. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Oh, go on. They ignore you and do what they are trying to do. Sometimes you ask them a question, but they reply with a request, which you would do 100%. because the mimic, they're on the mimic, someone superior to you, parents, teachers, aren't, friends, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sometimes they even straight up beat you asking. Everyone I know who has an encounter with doppelgangers never had a chance to look at face
Starting point is 00:20:41 to face. They just moved on with their lives. They say they should show themselves to prank, confused, or, or warn a person that they all say it's a bad omen if you clearly see a face. Right. So what I should have done is started with this because I thought let's understand the meaning of doppelganger but I thought I'd saved it for a story so I've saved it right? Right.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Meeting your doppelganger, a German term meeting and meaning double walker. So it's you doubled, right? traditionally signifies a power, often omen of misfortune or impending death in folklore. But today, it's also seen as a phenomenon of a genetic, so they put science in as well, yeah. It can be your genetic twin out there, yeah? That's all it can be. Bad omens. The classic belief is that seeing your doppelganger foresees bad luck, illness or even death.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Evil twin. Yeah? Evil twin, evil twin. Evil twin. In literally the myth, doppelganger often represents the dark counterpart of a supernatural entity that mirrors you. Yeah? So I'm just going to go for a few.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Identity crisis. So now they've gone psychological. You could be seeing your doppelganger, but it's not. You're just having an identity crisis. And then science, again, genetics. Science suggests that with billions of people, it is significant likely that you will see people that look like you. And then you've got the twin strangers. Many people today have twin strangers. Yes. They do have a whole meetup thing, don't they? Yeah. And then you've got mistaken identity. sometimes it is just the case of someone who looks very similar to you.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Okay, so on to my next story. Have you met your doppelganger? If so, what happened? No, but apparently there's one that also is a regular at my coffee shop. I go to and I keep hearing about her because the staff can't tell us apart and need to always ask my order even though they must. know it is just in case I'm the other girl. One time they were like, weren't you just in?
Starting point is 00:23:24 Oh my God. Just missed them. Oh my God, you've just missed your doppelganger. So I'm determined that one of these days we will meet. You'll never meet. And then people are asking for update. She doesn't. She disappears.
Starting point is 00:23:41 She's been murdered by a copagic. Yes, I die. Yes, I may be the doppelganger now And the other may have deceased I think it's interesting I don't think you're supposed to see your doppelgamer Or I don't think you're supposed to And it's annoying that people would tell you there
Starting point is 00:24:05 You've got one It is annoying Because then like You're like really Yeah, really? Exactly the train of as me. I don't think I'm, what am I average, like
Starting point is 00:24:18 most people, but I don't even think I am, not with the dark hair and all that. I don't think, I don't know, but they were like, yeah. And I was like, oh, she's not as nice as me though, is she? She's my evil twin. She's my evil twin. She doesn't get married. What does they? Yeah, she did, well, she didn't
Starting point is 00:24:36 marry whoever she was married, but that was fucking weird. Yeah. And I was like, oh, so I know what to say. Right, go on. I saw my doppelgamer. Good times. About two days ago, I had a craving for McDonald's, and it was around 10,30, 13, 11 at night.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So, went out to go to my food, to get my food. To go to my food. He does say that. I got my food and was heading back home. I usually go through a back alley and get, no, no, you don't go through back alleys at time of the night. No you don't. You do. You got a dog like mine. You don't. Anyway, I usually go through a back alley to get to the front of my house faster this night was no different. But to give you a picture, it's a back alley with houses on one side and a field on the other.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Anyways, I'm heading home and I take the back alley going 30 kilometres. Everything is good, when suddenly a person steps in front of my... Hold on, hold on, I've lost my place. In front of my... He was getting good. Yeah, in front of my view coming from the field side. He was about five,
Starting point is 00:25:57 maybe ten feet away. So I slammed on my brakes. Okay. They were driving, it's all right now. Maybe on a pedal bike, I don't know. So as not to hit the guy and I didn't, I was sure of it, but the guy wasn't in my view.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I panicked a little, but I wish he was in the car. I put the car in park and got out to see and apologise for not seeing him earlier. You're driving down an alley? Yeah, but you get wider alleys, don't they? You know, like a driveway to the garages sort of thing. Carl shouldn't be on alleys. All right, listen, lecture him later. Like I said, he wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I walked out to the front of the car, no dent, looked under the vehicle, and there was nothing there. I moved back a couple of steps to see if there was anyone in the field. I called out but got no answer. So I brushed it off as much as one could, and I turned around to head back to my car. That's when I saw myself. Granted, it was a shadow because he was standing right now. to my door and I had the headlight aimed at me. I was in the front of my vehicle.
Starting point is 00:27:18 I was in the front of my vehicle. I asked are you all right? I'm so sorry, got no answer and the figure was just standing there. I said hello, still no answer. So I waved my hand saying, yoohoo! Yee! Is that blank? Yee! And he did this same he waved his hand but said nothing and it was freaky because it was a mirror image of my hand motion caught me off guard i stepped back and so did the shadow it was a it was too weird so i walked towards him and he did the same and as soon as he was in range of the light he was gone No puff of smoke, not a blur, there was no one, the blink of an eye type deal. I was not about to look around anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I opened my door, got in and drove back home. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. Let me know if you have experienced something similar or if you might know what it could have been. Girl, you in danger. That, my friend, was a mimic. That was fucking horrible. That was not your doppelganger, that was something seeded and dangerous, mate, I'm telling you. That is giving mimic to me.
Starting point is 00:28:48 What is it giving? I mean, the fact that it waved back in the same hands and sort of mimicked what he was doing is exactly in. No, and then walk towards you when you walked... No, brough. I left the car, left the house, left the kids, left the wife. I wonder if he had walked back whether it had walked back or whether it would have followed I mean I don't wonder that at all
Starting point is 00:29:11 because I wouldn't want to know I don't like that I don't like that it's not fun I'm not happy about this one at all so some Planker says I'm confused are you not just describing your shadow oh shut up you mug I can't stand it even get off the reddit
Starting point is 00:29:27 even I wouldn't have said that get off the Reddit man yeah how often does your shadow stand up next to your car and wave at you Unless you're fucking Peter Pan That only happens to me every night I don't know what you mean How are?
Starting point is 00:29:42 Could you imagine? You would think You would think But my shadow is being casted behind me Since I'm standing in front of the vehicle And my lights are on When does a shadow stand directly next to you Or opposite you?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Yeah I've never, unless there's a wall If the light is here The shadow is there Yeah Or if the lights behind the shadows on the floor yes so he had the car in front of him facing no i'm not i'm not happy about this shadow is behind him girl you in danger he's peter pan yeah he's shadow standing over
Starting point is 00:30:16 they're going yeah yeah collecting kids so i was like interesting experience so i've never experienced a doppelganger type not doppelganger once i went to the forest with my sister as you do yeah random but you want to go for us let's go to the forest Are people going to go to that haunted forest? I would happily go. Yeah, in the summertime when it's not tough. Okay. And with the dogs.
Starting point is 00:30:41 And with the dogs. My dog, she would be like, nah, ain't going in there. Your one will be like, Woo-hoo! Best day. Best day. Shush-h-h-h-h-h.
Starting point is 00:30:51 As we were trying to find a way to leave, I looked to my right and saw a lady standing beside a tree, staring at me. She just disappeared without any smoke or any trace. at all. Similar to how you described it. I believe it's a gin. We've talked about gyms before. Yeah, that's not good people. It's not a good one either. You should do some research on them as well. They like to mess with humans sometimes as well. Most stick to their own kind though. That sounds racist. Racist. Discriminate. Was he wearing the same clothes you were wearing? Hang on,
Starting point is 00:31:34 Hang on. Yeah, yeah, let's see. Hang on. I can't. Hard to say, this is OP, to be honest, but I did have my hat on and I know for sure he had one on too. No, I'm not happy about it. Ooh, parallel universe.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Not parallel. This is not good. Let's see if anyone picks up on what we're saying. I have more of a loose kink. Loosey-goose. I'm, no, shit. Now I've got some McDonald's. You're not helpful.
Starting point is 00:32:06 my doppelganger works at the dump near my work he's living the life so did you not end up getting McDonald's but honestly this is what this is what this person got from the story so did you not end up getting McDonald's someone else is like yes OP was coming back from days when this happened lol
Starting point is 00:32:30 you-hoo I instantly thought off the two from frozen you did say the week Big Summer Bluer! I wasn't thinking about him. I was thinking about the bloke on TikTok that's absolutely gorgeous. He's from the Netherlands, I think. And he starts the video
Starting point is 00:32:49 and he's all like fucking... Not my cup of tea, but he's a specimen, right? And he's all like shirtless and whatever. And he's got the long blonde hair, the ice, blue eyes, and he... And then it cuts to him going, yeah! And then he starts talking.
Starting point is 00:33:03 It's hilarious. No, I went to Frozen. Oh, yeah, Big Summer Bluer. Anyways Moving on Yeah Right You saw your real

Starting point is 00:33:23 Confirming He had a Big Mac Nice Anyway what did your mate have Right People you know In real life Who are doppelgangers
Starting point is 00:33:34 Just for fun My next door neighbor is the spitting image of curly of the free stooges minus some weight. I don't really know the free stooges, but I know some people get the reference. A childhood, a childhood friend grew up to look an awful lot like Jennifer Lawrence so much so that the first time I ever saw Jennifer Lawrence on Hunger Games, I was taken back with the resemblance. That's not what I'm going to on to read the next story. I was saying with some people once, one of the guys was my doppelganger. It was the first time I had ever encountered that. Aside from being constantly told,
Starting point is 00:34:23 I looked like Paul Rudd most of my life. It was amazing, I guess, from a moment, but we didn't really say much about it. The kicker, though, was when a long-term friend of his came by, walked into the living room and I was there, not his friend, and the guy launched into conversation thinking I was the other guy. They had known each other for 20 years. That told me, yeah, we must look a fair bit alike. We just don't really know that well. They've known each other for 20 years. You can know someone that long, but not really know them. I can tell you everything about your skank face. I can pick you up without my glasses on.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Gosh, I'm gonna need that. That ain't by my face. I think it's cool, but also a little bit scary. Don't you find it all weird? Yeah, I don't like it. I wouldn't want to see someone that was my spit. I feel like I wouldn't. Because I'd be like, are we relating if you've taken a DNA test?
Starting point is 00:35:33 I've taken two. I tell you, apparently I've got rushing in me now, I did, didn't I? Yeah, you're happy about it. Well, something different in it I've never had a Russian in me per se Not this year Not this year I don't know

It's too much going on. What did they even do? To be fair, if I did meet my doppelganger, I could be like, you couldn't do me in favour and snap in for half for bullshit.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I'm still with Kajat. Could we take shifts? Good we take shifts. The next court I have to go to could you attend? Literally. Bring your fierceness. I am struggling picking Alfie up at the early hours. I don't know if I just need to adjust because normally you're wind like I even though I'm awake at that time generally I'm winding you're yeah you're not doing you're in a slumber yeah whereas now I'm like waiting so then when I pick him up and we get back it's
Starting point is 00:38:19 taking me ages to wind down again oh so tiring okay sorry go on okay I saw a double game up fair play hi everyone I want to share what was my last Paranormal. You want to share. What was my last? Pericles. It was fucking terrible. So I don't even know what I'm trying to do here.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I'm going to shut up. My last paranormal experience. Throughout my life, I've seen many things, but I think this one is the most recent. About two years ago, I was in my room watching movies with my brother and his girlfriend. My room had a bunk bed. was the top one and my brothers with the bottom one. Don't sigh. No, that was a deep breath.
Starting point is 00:39:12 That was deep breath. No, I'm listening. Bunk beds. Who had the top bunk? Your mum. Fuck you. Yes, please. It was around 11pm, so I fell asleep
Starting point is 00:39:31 because I had just finished a hospital shift. I'm a doctor. You're a doctor and you sleep on a bunk bed. Listen, just because they're a doctor don't mean they got money. Stop judging. come on and he lives in the room of his brother fair play
Starting point is 00:39:44 and his girlfriend he's a doctor from Wish and I was literally tired and my brother and his girlfriend stayed up watching the movie on the bottom bunk fucking ill yeah do you know you're like
Starting point is 00:40:00 not people in that room yeah you're a doctor make it get your get a room a few hours passed and I woke up
Starting point is 00:40:11 everything was dark and silent Everyone was already asleep. I checked my phone and it was almost 5am. So I looked down at the bottom bunk and saw my brother was asleep. But his girlfriend was still with him and she was awake, staring right at me when I looked over. They talked to her but she didn't answer. Oh, she sleeps at her eyes open. I can't.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I could never know. That felt strange because his partner never let her part. Blah. Blah Blah. That felt strange because her parents never let her stay past 12 a.m. And it was almost five. But I decided to ignore that fact. I thought maybe she just decided to stay.
Starting point is 00:40:57 I climbed down from the bed to go to the bathroom. And the whole time I walked out of my room, my sister-in-law kept staring at me in silence. Nah. I went to the bathroom and came back. back and went straight up to my bed to sleep. In the morning, I asked my brother why his girlfriend stayed with him all night if her parents didn't get mad and he looked confused and told me that he took her home before 1am.
Starting point is 00:41:30 He even showed me the conversation where they said goodbye once he came back home. I told him that I saw her in the room at 5am so we were both very confused. I don't know if it was a ghost, a doppelganger or something I can't understand, but I'm 100% sure that thing was using my sister in law's face. Girl, you're in danger. I don't think I've done any doppelganger stories. But they think it's doppelganger. And it does fit in in the sense that they're mimicking...
Starting point is 00:42:03 This is mimic. Visually. This is not good. This is not... I'm sorry. Your stories are not good tonight, man. of I've stuck on track. Are they shit?
Starting point is 00:42:14 No, they're excellent. But they're not what they're supposed to. But these people think they are because they're confused by what's happening. How have you got the face? I mean, first thing, first for, third, third, fair, fair, fair, fifth. Third, third, first, for, third is, we've got a doctor on a top bunk with his brother. But you don't know their culture. I don't care the culture.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Oh, okay, we're judging. Go on. Culture doesn't matter. Oh. We've got a doctor. on a top bunk. Yeah. With his brother on the bottom bunk.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Yeah. And the girlfriend that comes obviously around but doesn't stay. Right. How old are these people? I don't know because it takes a lot. Isn't it like seven years to become a doctor? I think it's like eight in it. So what are we looking at?
Starting point is 00:43:03 Say you go to uni at 18. Add that eight at 18 is 26. 26 years on top bunk. I mean, I just don't feel like he fits in the top bunk. Let's get back to the real problem here. That was my issue one. Okay. Issue two.
Starting point is 00:43:24 There's a random like this. I don't think I would have got out of that bed because I think I would have been like, what the fuck is you looking at it? If I had looked over to see my brother and she was just like, why is he looking over? But you just get down. You just generally would get down, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:43:46 to go for a wee. Maybe just see if they're there. I don't know. Either way, he's looked down and she's... Bibber in him. Bitches like this. Being eyeballs. Hello?
Starting point is 00:43:55 And didn't say a word to me. No. I wouldn't. I would have stayed up there and thought, right, if this feels like that... Let the pee sink through, yeah. Yeah. But if you really need you to go to toilet,
Starting point is 00:44:05 then I probably would have got down and not gone back in there. No. I would not have been able to help. What if she grabbed your ankle? Oh, my mate. But who is this? in the room.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Do you know, when we were younger, my sister, you used to torment me and tell me there were ankle buyers. Didn't say, don't let me angle buyers get you. He's the fucking run
Starting point is 00:44:26 and jump off my bed. Were she there when he came back in? Yes, he did. He didn't. He said he literally came straight back in and got back on bed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:36 No, he didn't say anything about. He did. He said bitch was still looking at him. No, when he left, bitch was eyeballing me. That felt a stranger. Climb down from the bed to go to the bed.
Starting point is 00:44:46 The bathroom, the whole time I walked out my room, my sister and I was looking, I went to the bathroom, came back and I went straight up to my bed to sleep. Yeah, you know, bitch, side-eyed, and she was like that. She weren't side-eye, and that's not side-eye. He didn't talking about side-dye, in here. This isn't doppelganger, this is something bad. Go on. Now, a doctor sharing a bunkey with his brother is uncommon.
Starting point is 00:45:08 O-P. Hold on. I was on my internship when that happened. See? All that judging, then the man had no money. I just was like She judged Guys did she not fully judge
Starting point is 00:45:19 Fully judged Hearing about paranormal experiences From a doctor-nour experiences Are always a good one I don't know why that Well because you are Assessed to be rational Baby you have to go through every
Starting point is 00:45:31 You have to have loads of shit To get the qualification Not when they're doing their residences Anyway People get moody Why do people wait years The Post Always makes me
Starting point is 00:45:42 Way more sceptical they post years because it stays on their mind for years that's why then you think about because you find something about it don't you I was just about to say this well sometimes people aren't aware that communities like this it's this blah blah blah blah yeah yuppie yuppie yeah so they're all like defending him get lost at sea in new costume what that's a promotion man you're just reading an advert I'm like what the fuck spooky that is so creepy it is creepy fear is it girlfriend or sister-in-law.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Well, she was a girlfriend, she's now sister-in-law. I don't think that matters. That's what I grasped. Anyways, that's where we... Right. In my opinion, something sinister was in the room that night.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I don't think it's a doppel-ganger. No. I think the other one that I said I wasn't going to read because it was too long was an actual real doppelgapage. Well, we've moved on from your problems now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Right, anyway, I think this one would have been good too. Well, it's too late now. It's too late. It's too late. I.U.K. Right, anyway, have you ever heard of being mistaken for your doppelganger? This has happened to me twice in the past 12 years. You are the doppelgamer. How do you know you're the doppelganger? Well, you're not the doppelganger to you, are you? Right, anyway, focus.
Starting point is 00:47:06 This has happened to me twice in the past 12 years. The first time I heard of my doppelganger was back in middle school. I was going out to eat at a golden coral with my family. The girl who was pouring our drinks accidentally mistook me for her little sister. When I told her that I wasn't her, she was surprised. I never thought doppelgangers were real until then. In more recent events, as of last year, I got mistaken for the same person, I presume. I was out with my mum and I was going into smoothie king, which was across the street from Starbucks. A lady pulled into the smoothie king and she asked if I was at Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:47:58 I told her I wasn't at Starbucks as I didn't drink coffee. I found it funny. My doppelganger lived about 40 minutes away from me and it seems that we are pretty different, laugh out loud. I'm assuming she means they're tasting things. Yeah. That's it. That's the story. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:48:26 It seems like, based on that and previous one you've read, like they seem to be quite close encounters, but not, they're living within a radius of each other. Now, is that coincidence? Or is that how it was meant to be? I don't like it Because you know That's what we read
Starting point is 00:48:48 Like they say Some people believe If you beat your doppled gang up They're either evil You're the evil Like there's You know there's theories There's something bad going to happen
Starting point is 00:48:57 Yeah And top comment I over time Had my ex-girlfriend's Best Friend send me a video Of me in a group of people drinking And I couldn't remember
Starting point is 00:49:08 When it was from So I asked where And when was this from And lo and be home it wasn't even me. I even thought it was me. Never seen that person in person, but the video was a trip.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Can you imagine seeing yourself doing something and you're like, when did I do that? And it's like it wasn't even you. No thanks. Yeah, no thanks. That's it. That's it, guys.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I don't like it. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that. Because it, you know, it takes you, takes you everywhere. doesn't it? I mean, yours were all about mimics. They didn't mean to be.
Starting point is 00:49:53 No, but that's, you know, they were just, they're confused. So they obviously don't go as far as we go. Do you know what I mean? Like mentally, where I'm like, girl, you're in danger. Like, you're being haunted. But it's interesting because it can just take you any which way.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I mean, like I say, I've never seen my doppelganger, but people say, oh my God, you proper look like or, is that your dress or her dress? Do you know when like someone says that you look like somebody and say it's someone like famous or whatever
Starting point is 00:50:25 and you're like no I don't I wonder whether you would actually feel like that if you saw that person your doppel going and be like yeah she doesn't really look like me but does she really? I mean maybe have you ever been told you look like someone famous?
Starting point is 00:50:38 I don't think so I don't listen to any of that sort of shit I just like that. I mean Jenna gets told she looks like Mariah Kerry, I don't see it. Not even a little bit. And she's been told, no, I think she looks like, you know the Big Bang Theory? Penny.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I think she looks a little bit like Penny. No, it's the eyes. I see Mariah Carey, but more, a younger Mariah, not what she looks like now. I don't see Mariah Carey at all, Jen. But who have I been told? I've been, when I was younger, I got told that my smile was like
Starting point is 00:51:14 Julia Roberts. Okay. I feel like I have had something else as well. I just can't remember who. But not specifically all of me, just aspects like this part is like Julia Roberts. So that was Helen that said that to me years ago, actually. But I don't think I particularly look like any celebrity.
Starting point is 00:51:37 I don't think you do either. So, but yeah, I do. But then I suppose, like doppelganger would be a celebrity lookalike. make money from that. I mean that's weird as fuck isn't it? Maybe you can make money from it. Yeah, maybe we should get some specific surgery. We made a pound. Shut up. Yeah, right here. We've made a pound. What, one whole pound? Yes. Sorry guys. Well, US dollar. It's not finished yet either. This was last Tuesday. What? It's exciting to us. It's pathetic, but it's all so exciting. A pound. Pound.
