You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. So guys, I was waiting to board my flight the other day, and I heard people having a conversation, not too far from me, in the little gate area. And I did what I always do, I eavesdrop on these conversations. Of course. And it was an incredibly boring conversation,

and I found myself getting frustrated at first, like, oh, this terrible conversation. Then I realized it wasn't meant for me, that's why it's boring. But they weren't doing a podcast? No, but it was funny to hear people have, because I was still, even though it wasn't for me, I'm like, what's the point of this story?

Like imagine the Grammy fall in the water story, but instead of falling in the water Grammy, thought that the picnic was Saturday, it turns out it was on Sunday. Hey, when that happens. So my question, I mean, I usually get sucked into an eavesdropping situation because I hear something that sounds juicy.

Did this conversation you were listening to start off sounding like it might be going somewhere interesting and then you were disappointed, or you just tuned in? No, I just tuned in. It happens to me, I hear clear sentences and I'm like, oh, let me lock in on this, right? Now, every once in a while, usually when I'm walking,

I hear one that sounds really juicy, and then I have to make a decision, like do I stop and turn, and oh, I forgot where I was going, I actually need to go this way just so I can continue listening, or do I just fill in the blank the rest of my life? You slow down, you walk backwards, you do whatever it takes.

Sometimes people like to be eavesdropped on. Really? Like sometimes if they're talking about something funny and you give like a, what did I just hear? Like one of those, what did I just hear turn backs? They're like, sorry, we're having a wacky conversation. That happens at bars a lot, right? You need to double take, like what did I just hear? So then she says, well slap me with a salmon

and call me Susan. And then you turn around like what? Like, yeah buddy. A little more fun conversation over here, sorry buddy, I'll be back. Or even better when they do this one. This guy gets it. Yeah. Yeah.

Like we've talked before about how I feel safe looking over someone's shoulder on their phone on a plane. It's the only time I really feel like I'm allowed to look over your shoulder and read your text, but it's always boring stuff. It's always just boarded. I feel like that's way worse. See you in a couple hours.

Way worse than eavesdropping. I did, I had one flight where the person in front of me, I was reading their text, but it was like juicy as hell. Oh, what were they saying? Him and his girlfriend were fighting with each other, and I was just sitting there, if you're listening, I don't know your name, you deserve better than her.

The way she was speaking to you, oh my God. He was talking, and it was like, like intense stuff that I felt bad for reading, and I will repeat now but you don't know who they are so it doesn't really matter to me anymore. It was like talking about how like, you keep telling me to get back in the gym

and you hate the way I look. And this was a very like normal size person that didn't really, there was nothing that I thought, like I didn't see this, like there was no reason to think like oh wow and she was like, I'm sorry, he's like, you're not attracted to me, and she was like, no, that's not the case, but, and I'm like, oh my God, and there,

I like wanted to follow him off the plane and be like, hey man, she should not be talking to you like that, and I rarely ever sided with the man. What's the worst thing she said? It was, the worst thing she said was being like, you need to go like get back in the gym, and he was like, you don't think I'm attractive. And she wouldn't say, no, I think you're attractive.

She just kept walking around it. And he just kept talking about how, hey, you're really hurting my feelings. I just want you to value me. And she was very much just like, please get hotter. And so I hope if you know who you are, I don't know what flight it was, I really wanted to go up and say something,

but I was like, that's way too far for me. It wasn't Chris Cody on the flight to Vegas, right? It was not Chris Cody, no. This was like a year plus ago. It was crazy though, and I didn't buy internet on that flight, so that's all I had. And I was just like. Lucy, how do you feel about those videos

that go viral every few months, where people are like, if your boyfriend was on a bachelor party in Las Vegas, this happened recently, but it happens, I swear to God, every two months, one of these videos goes viral. It's like, your fiance cheated on you. His name's this and his friend's names are da da da.

The best was this lady that I saw. She didn't even say, she's like, I won't say the name, but they were wearing pink hats. No, she did. They were at this place. She said, I won't say the name, but his name rhymes with shmam No, she did. They were at this place. She said, I won't say the name, but his name rhymes with shmam shmattem. And I said, wow.

Or shmat shmattem. Patch Adams is out in the streets just cheating on his way. Now we all know his name's Matt. Do we feel good about that? I don't really care as much about like the, oh, this guy's cheating on you ones. I love the ones.

It's like, hey, if you live in this city in Tennessee, I was sitting here in line, this was a specific one, at a Walmart, and all your friends were in front of me in line talking shit about you and how they hate you and all this stuff. And this girl ended up coming forward being like, those were my friends, and I didn't realize they were saying

these horrible, awful things about me, and I knew they didn't treat me right, and that's girl support and girls. That's a girl's girl right there. I have mixed feelings about it. I have mixed feelings about it. I have mixed feelings about it because I'm like, I don't think this is your business or your place or your job to police this.

What if the facts are wrong? What if it wasn't actually that person? What if, like there's so much subjective stuff that goes into this and it just ruins people's lives so that the person making the video can go viral. It's for them. I'll tell you what the kind of tricky part about this one was.

It's one thing to say, hey, I observe your fiance acting a fool or whatever, all right. It's another thing, she's like, then I took it upon myself to go and flirt with him, to see, all right, now you've. That's the one. That's messed up. Yeah, you're no longer reporting the news, you're making the news, lady.

You're no longer reporting the news. Like you're a character now. It is true, though. There's a performance aspect to it, where you're reporting it like you're giving a two minute package on what you saw when you were at brunch. And it makes me really weirded out, because I feel like when you're out and about,

you don't expect people to listen to you and then report back to the wider internet at large. You kind of feel like this is my conversation at my table. Have your conversation at your table. Is it better if it's private? Like if she tries to reach out to the girlfriend privately. So it's still doing what Charlotte was worried about. There's a lot of subjective here.

You might not have the facts right, but I'm gonna reach out to you. I'm not trying to go viral now. Yes, because Chris, part of the thing that happens now is like when these videos go viral, the comments will be ruthless. It'll be like, this person needs to die. They're the worst boyfriend ever.

Oh my God. Or they start attacking the person doing the thing. And they're like, why are you getting involved? It just becomes this like cesspool. Harassment up the a-hole. My personal favorite though, is when I saw this one on TikTok a few days ago, it's when the victim themselves,

I saw a girl whose husband cheated on her and she went to TikTok and tagged the woman that her husband cheated on her with and was like, Brittany, can't get away with it. I'll tell you the worst one. The worst one was there's a TikTok clip of these people who are on a podcast about workplace protocols and stuff.

And then this guy responds back, he's like, I'm the person they were talking about. And this one. I know that one. I saw that. And then it turns out the guy completely made it up, but the people who made the podcast, they got harassed and they had to take down them.

Oh, Corporate Natalie. Yes, Corporate Natalie. That's what that was. Because he didn't want to go to work at 8 a.m. because he had a workout class. Yeah, but it wasn't even him. It was just literally. It was from Randall. at 8 a.m. Because he had a workout class. Yeah, but it's like that wasn't even him It was just little it was a it was a prompt an HR prompt. Yes, man the internet. What are we even talking about? Mind your own business everybody. Do you think I know he's followed any of that if they

Know you're with this phenomenon. They can't take tick tock away from us. They can't do it mind your business fella
