Episode Date: September 7, 2025Send us a textIn this episode, Bethan and Nicole take another unapologetically deep dive into your dilemmas and fair warning, it’s not for the faint-hearted. What do you do when your boyfriend cross...es the ultimate line and kisses your best friend? Is turning up 45 minutes late to every single meeting just “their personality”… or the height of disrespect? And when a man insists on paying for everything, is it a subtle form of control dressed up as romance, or simply a loving gesture of generosity?The girls don’t just skim the surface - they pick apart the messy layers, challenge each other’s perspectives, and give you the raw, unfiltered takes you’ve been waiting for.Of course, it wouldn’t be a Wild 2 Mild catch-up without a bit of chaos - from manic weeks of hopping on planes and soaking up Coldplay concerts, to prepping for the NTAs this Wednesday (yes, they’ll both be there, and you know there will be stories).

Welcome to the Wal-Tamal podcast with me, your host, Beth and K-Shaw.
And me, your host, Nicole O'Brien.
Welcome, welcome. Welcome back, guys.
Right, guys, I've got a face mask on because it's that time in the month.
It's literally just started this morning and I'm actually over it right now.
Like, I'm genuinely over it.
I cannot even.
Yeah, and I'm also really ill, so sorry we're starting off now on this note.
Yeah.
Do you ever see the episode of Friends where Phoebe is like, oh, I want to sing like sexier?
so she makes herself sound sick.
No?
Oh no, that's literally like, I feel like I'm chatting
kind of like a man right now.
Like, my voice is so low.
I just sound so, so ill.
But kind of sexy vibes now.
Yeah, sexy.
Like, what's it called?
I don't know.
Ignores, I've got brain fog.
Ignores, let's just start there.
Let's just start there.
Tell me, you've had a busy week.
I've had a busy week.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, so I went on a brand trip with fake bake this week.
it was so good we went to somewhere i got listening to this we went to somewhere called penis cola
no you didn't i swear to god penis cola yeah i swear to god what i know um but yeah it was so good
it was so nice and do you know what right you know like obviously on these brand trips right
like i haven't been on many but i have heard that on these brand trips like the really
work yeah like apparently the itinery is back to back to back to back like you are like you've just
got no time to even think right
this fake big trip
was the shit it felt like girls holiday
it was the most chilled
relaxed genuinely
had the best time ever not one
bad word to say about it I really
really loved every single second of it
and yeah it was just
fantastic I do feel like I've had
a holiday honestly but
I'm not got though I have come back off
the holiday and I'm like I'm tired
I just want to sleep
I know you did a lot of travel though like
travel was a bit late and getting in and stuff like that yeah yeah like so basically we
travelled late at nine o'clock and then we flew into stand stead so then it was like an hour
drive but then we were sat on the plane for so long like because the you know like the tunnel that
they attached to the door yeah couldn't attach so then they had to set up all the cones down
so we just had to sit and the plane was sweating oh I couldn't oh I don't that was in me under
someone shouted bing bing bong the plane did it just some random man just shouted bing bing bing bong
What is it? Bing bong, catch me, no, not catch me aside, what was that thing?
Catch me outside, how about that?
I don't know. What was it though? Bing bong. It was a TikTok.
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it was TikTok like two years ago.
Oh, I can't remember. How was your week anyways?
Oh, manic. So basically, I had my sister over and we went to Coldplay. This has been my dream for years.
So I spent five hours getting tickets for Coldplay last year, couldn't get them. And then an amazing
company called the Green Room Experience invited me like two months ago and I was crying I was like oh my
god I can't believe I'm going to co-play and when I tell you it was the best night of my life
of my life I've seen the videos on your story and I was like oh my god that looks so cute
with everyone with the little I love it when concerts do the little wristband thing with the lights
that's my favourite thing I don't know why everyone doesn't do that I know it was just it was so special
and to like be there with my sister and everything it was just so nice so that was like
I got to bring a plus one
and she's such a big fan
so that was like her birthday present
So it was so amazing
And then we went to go see
The Great Gatsby musical
Which was really good
Corbin Blue was in that
The guy in high school musical
He's one of the main characters
In high school musical
Do you know what I'm not a high school
I'm not a high school musical person
I'm not gonna like I know
Do you know I feel really like
So even when I was on the trip
Like they were talking about
They were singing a song
and it could have been from high school musical
or that's all raven or something
like something to do with Disney Channel right
and I was just like no I'm a Cautau Network kind of gal
I was an Ed Nettie kind of girl
you know what I used to love it
or Jimmy Neutron
you know what I something like that
I wasn't a um like I wasn't
I used to love them
that's so funny but yeah anyway
it was weird like seeing him in the flesh
because like do you ever see the movie
well you probably if you're not into Disney
jump in with the double Dutch
like that was my favourite movie with Corbyn Bloom
so he was amazing and Amber Davies from Love Island was one of the main characters she was 10 out of
town very talented woman and then excuse me yeah then we went for like dinners and stuff like that
and then we went out the night after but when I tell you like I was so mentally drained like
being an empath like you feel everyone else's energy and stuff yeah so being in a stadium
of 80,000 people I can't describe to you how exhausted I was
right after that because everyone and I was obviously crying through the whole concert
because I was so emotional so it was just it was a lot but it was like the best experience
yeah but yeah and now I'm sick because you've obviously put to me and then I'm going to catch
something and then someone else is kind of catch stomach and we're just going to pass it around
we're going to pass it to the NTAs yeah oh yeah we've got the NTAs now this week on Wednesday
I know and it's the 30th birthday apparently I haven't looked into that so don't quote us but
apparently it's the 30th birthday it's a big NTA's event and this is the first time
I have I've been in the NTAs.
Yeah, I went years ago.
It was good.
Right.
Yeah, it was good.
I'm really excited.
So, I'm going with fake fake.
Yeah, we're going with fake bake.
It'll be so fun.
And just to get all glammed off.
I still haven't chosen a dress or anything.
This is typical me, like so last minute.com.
Yeah.
With all this, but it'll be amazing.
Yeah, for sure.
But it's like, this week is just so busy again.
But very grateful.
So grateful.
I can't believe it.
You know what I just wish.
I wish I had like,
I feel like I just, my energy is so low.
And I feel like that's what's actually like making, like,
I feel like that's what, like, annoying is at the moment.
Because, like, I'm having all these amazing, like,
even when I went on the fake trip and I've came back,
like, I feel so drained where I never used to feel drained
from being around, like, people.
Do you know what I mean?
Whereas now that I feel like I'm older,
I just feel like I'm so, like,
I feel my social battery, like, depleting.
Like, whereas, like, back when I was young,
I remember like I used to feel energized around people whereas now I feel like I'm such an introvert
obviously like last week I went to the doctors you know I got diagnosed not diagnosed I got put on
anxiety medication whatever and she said and I say to her I said like when I'm around people
I feel very introverted yeah and then she was saying like typing it up and she was like
and feels very introverted around in social dynamics and I was like
this was never me like I don't understand how like I know everyone changes like and you do change as a person
but I feel like I've changed in a way like I don't like that about myself now yeah but you know I see in
TikTok and I said neurodivergent people become extremely drained just after one social setting
like three weeks to like recover brilliant and yeah and then someone actually commented because
I had a TikTok up about that like two months ago and I seen someone commented this morning because
I was saying getting dreamed in social settings
and they were like if you suffer from anxiety
it takes so much to like
build yourself up to go to these things
that then when you get there you're absolutely depleted
and then when you leave you're depleted
so it's like how do we fix it?
That's what I mean I don't know and this is a thing
like when I was on the trip with the girls
it felt so good like I was really
like I was really enjoying myself when I was there
like well having such a laugh like me and I'm about
crying laughing a lot of the time
and I turn around was like I'm going to get
abs from this trip because of you. I was like,
there we go. Love that. But
this is what I mean. Like there was never
a point on the hollet. So this is what
it, like, that's probably the
like difficulty that I have in my brain where I'm like,
why do I feel like this when I didn't feel like that
when I was on the trip? Like it doesn't make sense to us anymore.
Yeah. Like when I go to these events and I'm having
such a good time and then I come back and I'm like,
how do I feel like, you know when you went to call play?
Like how do you feel depleted when you had such an amazing time?
like in my head it's not sinking in you know what i mean i think it's when you give so much emotionally
though oh you're like that's what it was for me is that i was just like crying right everything
emotionally that makes sense but i was laughing all the time so yeah but then i feel like does that not
reach you would think that that would recharge you know maybe i don't know i'm sick of trying to figure
this out yeah do you know what i mean like we literally i feel like let's just not try and figure out
anymore. Yeah, let's not. Because I feel like
that's the draining part. It's trying to figure it out what the hell
is wrong. I know what I mean?
Has to fucking drain a bit? I know. Like, I actually
think, like, every single day, we're always
on this podcast going, what's wrong
with me? I know, I know. And the listeners
are probably like, oh, God,
here we go again. Here we go again.
Too problematic girlies.
Literally, that's genuinely how I'm starting
to feel, though, like, generally I'm starting to feel
problematic in my own life. I know.
But we're going to reframe the mindset.
it's going to be a great week.
Yeah, T.4.
And we've got some amazing things on this episode.
So obviously we've started off
since last week doing little
snippets of Am I the Villain,
Green Flag, Red Flag,
Dilemmas.
So we're going to do one a week
because I think last week's episode
was quite long.
It was an hour.
Well, yeah, it was an hour.
I mean, did you like it?
Did you like the OWI episode?
We're armling on, probably.
We're back and forward like,
oh, we're going to get cancelled.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, oh, shit.
Can't believe I said that.
And then I was like, do you know what?
raw and unfiltered
like that's just us anyway
so I was like let's just upload it how it is
yeah you guys have actually
oh my god guys you sent in the loveliest messages
to the Instagram
yesterday we checked them and we were both crying
yeah I know you literally made us cry
you made us cry
someone was going for a really hard time
and they said that we were
getting them through it
the big sisters the big sisters oh my god
we're both bowling on the sofa
we were crying yeah like so I feel like
you love the unfiltered side
I think that's very important
for us to be like that.
So we leave in all the butts and the ends
and the maybes and blah.
But yeah.
So should we get on to Am I the villain?
Yeah, yeah, we should.
Am I the villain?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Oh, guys.
What you sent in is so good as well.
I know.
Right, so let's have a look.
I mean, good in terms of good content
but awful of what you're going through.
I'm so sorry.
I know, I know, I know.
Right.
Okay.
So this is how it starts.
Okay.
Hi, girls.
I need your help because me,
my friend had a bit of a
fallout and I'm wondering I'm the villain. So I've got a friend who was always in capital as late and I'm not
exaggerating like 20 minutes late but usually it's closer to an hour. That's a little bit mad. That's
ridiculous. Yeah that's mad. The other week we arranged to meet for food and I ended up sitting
in the restaurant for 45 minutes before she turned up. I was fuming. So I said something. I wish you told
with what she said. Oh, yeah. I know. I wish you put that in. Um, she straight away got offensive.
Oh my God. Defensive. Defensive. She straightway got defensive and said, I can't help it. I've got ADHD.
Time gets away from me. So I told her, I do understand that ADHD is real, but it's not fair that I'm
constantly left waiting. I even said if you know time is hard for you, then you should be
planning better and it's not an excuse to be disrespectful. And now she's upset, telling me,
i don't get her struggles and that i'm being really hot and unsupportive what do you think am i the
villain i don't think you're the villain i've had this happen before yeah and so have you
yeah same i don't think you're the villain i think if you have ADHD and if you're neurodivergent
and you need to figure out ways to manage that to not be disrespectful to other people obviously
they understand what you're going through but i had a friend who was always doing this and like
I'm busy
I cannot be waiting an hour for you
and yeah
I don't think you're the villain
it's like it basically makes you feel like
they're putting their time
and their time is more important than yours
and I've got ADHD myself
like I'm clinically diagnosed
I've had physical examinations
I am diagnosed ADHD
I'm meant to be on it medication but I'm not
and I have set timers
I set timers to make sure that I'm not late
10 minutes late, yeah, fair enough
Like sometimes the time does get away from you
But when you look at the clock
And you recognise that you're late
And you're like, oh my God, I'm late
I've got to leave in 10 minutes
If you're then late after that
You're actively choosing
Because you've looked at the clock and went
Right, I'm 10 minutes late
And then you actively choose
To make other decisions like
Do a different hairstyle
Or do this with your makeup
like yeah do you know what I mean yeah or like you're choosing what outfit to wear and you're
back and forward choose what outfit to wear or you're cleaning the dishes before you leave like
you're actively then choosing to be late I think yeah and for me like uh like I say I set timers
and I schedule my whole calendar and I'm like looking at a calendar constantly you're so good
for the calendar so like I love like doing like lists and things like that and like time stamping
everything and Bethan put me on to this like calendar app is it just Google calendar it's
Google calendar yeah yeah but it's all like color coded and you've got all your time stamps and you've got
everything in there and I think like you need to figure out how to manage it yeah in terms of like
your time and also be like if you've got dinner booked for five put it in for half four and then
if you end up getting there for 10 to 5 you're 10 minutes early do you know what I mean like
you need to figure out how to manage it I don't think you're the villain in terms of
having a go at her for this because 45 minutes is actually what like i get it like 10 minutes late
or like 5 10 minutes late or 15 minutes late like i get it that's not really it would be very
annoying and at the end of the day like it's not like we want to come for the person who's saying
that they're late and like we're not coming for that person either because at the end of the day
like that i understand it is really hard to have ADHD it's like it is a struggle
but at the same time like you're going to lose all your friends yeah you will
If you aren't actively making choices that are, like, respectful to your friends,
your friends are not going to stick around because who's going to stick around every single day,
but getting late, 45 minutes, every single time you meet someone.
Every single time you meet someone, it's getting moved back, to get moved back.
Your friends are going to go, right, I'm actually sick of this,
because now you're showing that you don't actually give a fuck about my time and my energy
and my, my, yours is more important.
Yeah, but that's exactly what it seems like.
But that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, you get sick of it.
Like, we've both had friends who were like this.
And after years of being friends with this person, I would, like, try and help them.
But I was just like, I can't deal with this anymore.
Like, I understand what you're going through.
But she lost all of her friends because of it.
This is, like, one element of what went on.
But I was just like, oh, my God.
And it's so sad.
Yeah, it is sad.
But at the same time, it's like, it's just one of those things.
Like, I say, you know, it's.
you can't tell people how to be like if you if you don't want to like make if you don't want to
put in the F app for the other person especially if they voiced it then that there's nothing
you can do yeah but at the end of the day like this fact that the fact that you've said that
you understand but it is one of those it's like a really difficult like situation isn't it
because you don't want to dismiss someone's you know mental illness
but at the same time
I've got ADHD as well
I understand
it is frustrating
it is disrespectful
yeah they just need to figure out
how to manage their time better
and as you said
and I agree
they will end up losing friends
unfortunately
because you just have to respect
other people's time
and I don't think you can blame
everything on ADHD
like yes if you have it
I get it and I get how it's
frustrating and you need to just
you need to figure out the tools
and that's
what it is, the tools of life and how to navigate it.
And I know that can be overwhelming and things like that.
But at the end of the day, you need to figure that for yourself.
And like, again, for the people around you, and it's not easy.
But your friend seems to understand of what you're going through,
but you just can't be disrespectful and keep doing this.
Because it's just lousy.
So we don't think you're the villain.
No.
I don't think you're the villain at all.
But then I also, I don't think that they're the villain,
but I do think that there's an element.
I just think 45 minutes is.
that's taking the pace
yeah I just think 45 minutes is mad
I think yeah 10 15 minutes late
like your time's getting away from you
I understand that but
but you're sat in a restaurant for 45 minutes
every time
I would lose my shit
yeah and then also
this gives like this is what the stigma of like people
so like obviously people go
oh everyone's got ADHD like this is what
has caused and stigma for people who have got ADHD as well
like using it as an excuse because you can say
listen I struggle with this blah blah but for instance for example like body doubling for me
well like I get on better when I'm body doubling so then I put myself in environments where I can
body double do you know what I mean so that's me that's then helped that that um like doing
part of yeah doing the tasks and stuff like I'll be like with you and I'll be doing the tasks with you
or I'll like take my laptop and I'll go and sit in a coffee shop or something so I can get things done
do you know what I mean so like there's ways and means about it and if you go like I obviously do um there's like a coaching with ADHD 360 where you can literally go into like seminars and stuff like that and they talk to you about and they're basically like there's loads of articles you can read which like literally there's like proven studies to help with ADHD so like I'm researching all the time on how to navigate my neurodivergent brain yeah you know what I mean so I think for me
I can say it from a place of like
I am actively trying to work
and find different ways
how to navigate it
so now that I know
that you can navigate things like that
it's just a bit yeah it's a bit lousy like
yeah I think people
may get overwhelmed and like with all
the tools out there but
unfortunately you need
to just apply some of them and as you said
body doubling is such a big thing
and just timestamping
and colour coding and loads of
different things that you can do maybe take like two to three little tools so you don't overwhelm
yourself but definitely try like get some tools to figure out how to manage this um because if you're
just going through life without any tools it's so overwhelming it's a lot you feel like you're
behind constantly life is just too much so i also think as well like well i mean obviously
it's kind of more directed at that um the other girl but like i feel like
finding people who have also got ADHD
and who understand as well
who are not judgmental too
because
you can then talk about it
and like share like tips and stuff
with each other
oh yeah
sorry there was a call
I didn't know if they heard it but
yeah so you're not a villain
you're not a villain right
what should we do now
Green flag red flag
yeah we'll do green flag red flag
yeah we'll do green flag bearer
okay do you want to read it
which one is it
that one?
Yeah, just that
highlight one, yeah.
Okay.
I've been seeing
this guy for a little while
and one thing he does
every single time we go out
is insist on paying
for absolutely everything.
I'm talking meals, drinks,
taxis,
even little things like
grabbing a coffee.
At first I thought
it was sweet and generous.
Yeah, cute.
Yeah, love that.
Queen, queen, pop off.
Who doesn't love being treated, right?
But after a while
it started to feel a bit awkward.
Even if I suggest
splitting the bill. He kind of gets offended
like I'm rejecting him by trying
to pay my way. Charlie not.
I know. But also I
kind of get it. Okay. Why now? Some of my
friends say it's a green flag because he shows
he's a provider and he wants to look
after me. But others say
it could actually be a red flag,
a subtle form of control because
he's always the one holding
the power when it comes to money.
I'm stuck between appreciating the gesture
and worrying about what it might
mean in the long term. Is this a green
flag or a red flag
I'm going to say a green flag
because I just think you know what
if you found a man who actually wants
to provide then that's
like his that's his thing
like if he wants to provide
then that's a green flag
but if he's using it to control
then it's a red flag do you know what I mean
but you how would you know
it's hard to know because
I think for me
like I really struggle let's say on dates like I hate them paying at the very beginning but I think
for me that's like me showing that like I'm an independent woman and I want to pay my way and but then
I start off on the wrong foot because then they expect me to pay moving forward I think if this guy
is like I want to pay I want to pay yes I can feel uncomfortable and I get that like I would feel a bit
uncomfortable with that because I would think
is he trying to take control
but after
being on the other foot where I end up paying for dates
quite a lot in the past
I would say that this is a green flag
and I think
it may be a little bit controlling
it just depends how he acts after
yeah like I feel like it's just
holding it against you or anything I don't know
I feel like if he holds things like against you
or I feel like the thing is if you're like
making your own money and you go to work and you've got
your own like um source of like financial income and stability then how can it really be a
form of control because you can walk away anytime we want because you've got your own job and you're
literally like do I mean but then at the same time it's like if he's providing a certain type of
lifestyle yeah oh I wish I'd just had an instant you know like just an answer like that
always tipping in between it oh I don't know yes I don't know yeah but I think it's good to weigh up both
sides yeah that's that's important here i feel like for me i would think that this is a green flag just
reading this but if he like holds it against you down the line which i have seen happen
where you people will end up splitting up and then he'll be like well i paid for this i paid for that
and then i've had a friend who this happened to and the ex then sent her receipts for him to pay
for her to pay him back for everything swear to god yeah
Yeah, yeah. He bought her like an expensive bag and he was like, I need the money back and
or give me the bag back and things like that. Especially if it was a gift. That's crazy.
It's crazy, but people become bitter like when they break up. So just be wary of how he actually
acts and hope that this is like just a general like the gesture of like being kind and not
using it for the long term effects of trying to control you. Yeah. So I don't know how long
you guys are together um but yeah for me off the bat i would say this is a green flag yeah and i all i think
as well i think as long as you always have like i feel like it would stop becoming a red flag if he's kind
of like you know ushering you to like quit your job and like he look after you and things like that
i feel like that becomes a little bit more of a red flag because you need to have your own financial
independence and not rely you need to be able to not rely on him you know what i mean like
look at this as like getting treats but like not like how do I describe it like rely yeah just not
relying on this and so looking at it as like extra little treats um you deserve the princess
treatment yeah gorgeous girl you deserve the princess dreaming you do and I know you say like
you're worrying about what might mean long term I mean so you could only be worried yeah
it could only be worrying if you then don't have a
financial stability yourself
yeah that that would be the only
worrying thing because or if he was to like hold it
against you but
I think it's like one of those things that
it just it's I don't know
you're gonna have to wait and see
but I think yeah green flag
I think for the time being
just be wary if it does end up being
like a controlling situation and if he like
pushes you away from working
and your friends and things like that
yeah but yeah
But for now, it's actually cool and cute.
Cool and cute.
And you're getting treated like a princess.
Yeah, cool and cute, cool and cute.
So we're going to go on to a dilemma someone sent in.
Right.
Okay.
Oh, I remember briefly reading this well ago.
Oh.
Yeah, it's wild.
Okay, okay.
So my best friend has been dating this guy for a few months now, and on the surface he seems great.
He's polite, he gets on with everyone, he makes a laugh, all of that.
But there's a problem.
Oh, my God, a couple of months before they actually got together,
we were all on a night out and he drunkenly tried to kiss me.
Or he pushed, sorry, I pushed him away straight away
because obviously I would never go there,
but I didn't tell my friend at the time
because it felt like one of those stupid drunken mistakes
that didn't mean anything.
Now though, every time I say them together,
it's in the back of my mind.
I don't know if I should tell her
because on one hand
I feel like she deserves to know everything
about who she's dating
on the other hand
it was before they were official
it was only
it only happened once
and might just
oh god I can't read
and it might just be
it might just cause
unnecessary drama
and ruin their relationship
yeah yeah
do I stay quiet because it was in the past
and it didn't go anywhere
or do I tell her
and risk blowing everything
up um and maybe even losing my best friend in the process that is wild that's crazy that
the thing is though i'm so like for me personally like say if there weren't it wasn't really a
oh let's have a like thing so if it wasn't really a thing like they weren't official and they were
just dating why did the friend not tell her in that stage like this is what's frustrating because
it's like you should have told her sorry yeah
yeah do you know what I mean I think you should have told her as well because like for instance if you were dating someone I would have been like what the fuck yeah but like no offense we've kind of made it a little bit worse why not telling her at the time I know but we'll get through it we'll figure it out yeah we'll figure it out I think you have to tell her because this is going to weigh heavy on you yeah and you're going to be so uncomfortable and yes like I feel like if I would
was your friend and this happened
I would be like
what the hell
and unfortunately
a lot of the time
the blame will be and I don't know why this is
and it really annoys me put the blame is on the woman
but this is not your fault because
he kissed you right
I hope that your friend
doesn't fall out with you
I really hope that she has enough
common sense to like look at the fella
you know what I just realise
why are men always putting
women in these positions. I know. I know. It's mad.
Constantly. It's like he is the one like say for instance like totally off topic here but for
instance like if somebody say for example if somebody DM'd someone in the had on that
profile that they've got a girlfriend and a kid and all of this in the profile picture but then
they're messaging like someone like being like you're so fit and sexy and then like why would
it be that the woman's fault yeah it would be the woman's fault if the woman was to expose this man
and the woman would be getting backlash for expose
and what the man's done.
It's up,
like it makes my blood boil.
I just don't understand why that always is the case.
The woman is always blamed.
What is that?
Yeah, but we're not getting into it.
Yeah, we won't get into that now.
Because I cannot.
I'm literally on a period.
Yeah, I cannot.
You'll be ill.
Yeah.
I personally think, like,
it probably should have been a conversation
that happened a bit earlier
because now I think feelings are going to be
a lot more involved and sometimes like women are besotted a little bit and they're in this
like mindset where like they just want to believe everything that the voice is like for example
like I've definitely been a position where like someone could tell me something I could literally
be getting DMs left right and sent are about my boyfriend this this is this and then I'll
believe him if I've got no evidence or no proof because you want to believe because like hope
but like hope is very strong
and it can and I feel like
the hope that some men
provide to women because
they like can literally
just have the gift of the gap
can genuinely fuck with your brain so much
like there's there were so many times like
in my life where like
I would be like listen I'm getting these DMs
from girls that you've done this and you've done that
and they're like they're lying
they just want to break us up
yeah and then I'd be like
oh and then they're just like
wing the way back in
that's it. Now when I look back at that and I think, oh my God, I was so desperate.
That's the only way I'm going to expect. No, it's desperation. No, it's desperation. No, it's
desperation. It honestly, now when I look back at it myself and my thingy, I was desperate to be
in a relationship like, and I was desperate to feel that love. Now that I'm so content being
single, I literally, I'm like, it makes us feel sick. Like when I look and I think the shit that
you put up with. I know. And I've seen a happy.
happen to so many people how lads will just worm their way out of a situation when and then
the friends can see what's happening but it is frustrating when the fella's just giving it the gift
of the gab gift of the gab and then oh that's just so yeah just so bad and then you think oh my god
and then it's like frustrating for you to watch as a friend as well do you know what I mean and then but
you can't get too involved because I've done that before where I've gotten I think I may have
mentioned this in the previous episode I got so involved in the situation where I was just like
because I loved my friends so much and like this is just so frustrating to watch and then I ended
falling out with her but only for like a week do you know what I mean and then we were fine but like
you just you need to find a happy medium of that but sorry we've gone a little bit off top of here
yeah we did but I think with this you need to tell her because this is going to weigh so heavy on you
and even when you're like out with all of them for like drinks and like what not and you don't know he could have told his friends like you don't know who he's told and if that gets back to her through someone else you can guarantee the friendship will be done because you haven't come to her directly with it yeah and even though technically it's not your fault because he kissed you but you just need to put your big girl panties on and it'll be fucking anxious telling her
and it'll be awful but just rip the band-aid off and do it and hopefully in time she will come to
realize if she doesn't at the time that you tell her that this is his doing and not yours um and also as
well like if I was the other girl like I would really want to know who I was dating and I'm so sorry
like I know that there's sometimes there you can be a little bit apprehensive as well I don't know
if that's the right word I think it just sounded good but um you can be a little very smart it sounded smart
I know you can kind of be a bit wary on like approaching girls because sometimes girls can be like
again they can't take the boy side and then that's what makes you not want to say certain things
because you're like oh like are they're going to you just think that they're not going to like side with the girl
whereas if it was me I would really want to know who I was dating like because of the worst that
my worst fear honest to God my worst fear is dating them.
man that every single woman looks at and goes oh my god he's a dog him like that is my worst fear
honestly like like he is like he's so disrespectful like i feel really bad like you know when
like men have these like um they have these reputations on like oh he cheats on that all the time
and you know like when you just hear like gossip and stuff like that and i feel so bad for the
woman i want to save i know i want to save her from that awful man yeah
um you know and you do hear these situations yeah you do of like you know like men who have got wives
and children who are like cheating on holiday and stuff and i just i'm just like oh my god like that
woman deserves so much better like like these men need to be left alone yeah these men need to
be alone yeah they do it is as simple as that and learn that lesson but unfortunately just it just
doesn't work like that yeah um and you know what i was actually thinking the other day like you know
how at the minute there's like
that lonely man epidemic
or something at the moment
and you know what
I was thinking about it right
like we're probably
thinking oh it's like the bad men
the men who are treating women
like shit who are like probably lonely
and feeling bad and then like ultimately
it's like yeah that if you are abusing women
yeah you should be alone
but in my head I'm thinking it probably isn't them
what you think it's a nice guy who ends up in
I think it is.
That makes me really sad.
Yeah, I think it is.
Well, not like, I don't know what.
Just think it's like maybe the shy one or the one who doesn't, maybe the socially awkward one or.
I did see a podcast clip come up from, I actually forget what podcast it was.
It was just a random podcast on my TikTok.
And they said, basically, sorry, it wasn't.
It was an interview with Sarah Jessica Parker and the other two women.
I forget the name on Sex and the City.
and it was an interview, this woman was in her 30s interviewing them and she was like,
look, guys, like, do you have any advice? I'm single, I'm in my 30s, but I just keep getting
the wrong men. Something along those lines. And they told her, they were like, look, have you ever
thought about that the men who approach women are the men who are probably the most confident,
but confident because they get loads of women? So they're able to approach you and they end up,
not all of them obviously
but they end up kind of being
not very nice in the long run
but the quieter men
who maybe haven't had great luck with women
over the past few years
are struggling to approach women
because they're not as confident in it
but they're actually the nicer men
so that in turn
like even when like the other day
I was out for dinner
with my sister and we were walking
in central to the restaurant
and there was this man
a builder and he shouted something like oh you're at girls something and i was just like honestly
i turned to my sister and i was like has he not seen what's going on in the world like
fuck off like fuck off and stop shouting at the two of us walking down the street yeah we stopped
calling women we sat down and we were having lunch outside and then we were laughing
about something because and that a similar situation happened the night before at an event
and then we were discussing that builder
doing that and my sister obviously she lives at home in Ireland and we were saying how in
Ireland that doesn't really happen a lot back home the cat call him no yeah it doesn't really happen back
home um I feel like as a country we're very woke and aware of a lot of things that are going on in the
world as well um but we were mid conversation about it and then two of us had just sat outside
having lunch and this guy approaches us and he stands over us at the table was I telling you this no no yeah
he stands over us at the table.
He was like, oh, you drop something on the floor.
So I thought I dropped my phone or something.
So I looked down and he goes, my jaw.
And he was like, oh, my God.
Like, what's your name?
Like, I'm sat outside with my sister just chilling.
And I felt so uncomfortable.
But it's crazy how we were mid-conversation talking about these types of situations when this happened.
Do know?
Oh, go on.
And then, yeah, basically, I was just like, oh, like, leave me alone.
Like, I'm in a relationship.
Obviously, I'm not.
But, like, what the first?
fuck like I just I don't like being approached like that it makes me feel so uncomfortable and I get it
like the more confident men may approach but like it just makes me feel uncomfortable yeah I don't know
how I've gotten on to this but then but then a question is as well like if there's someone that you
were attracted to would it make you feel uncomfortable yeah I think so like I because I would feel
like oh you feel very comfortable doing this a lot like okay yeah yeah yeah so yeah and then
that that was it really but I just think how did I like oh yeah and about like the good men
and maybe not being as confident to come up and talk to you yeah um so that is the lonely man
epidemic maybe is just the good men who just I know that's what like makes us feel bad yeah
because I'm just like oh but then at the same because it's like you do hope that like you know
the the the ones who are like feeling shit or like whatever it is the ones who are awful to women
and whatever um but then it's kind of like look at all of the times like women's like obviously um
abuse and death and all of that is like skyrocketing yeah and it's like well when did you
care like yeah yeah yeah um but another thing on catcalling as well um how mad is this so like say for
instance like if women were to cat call men men are like flattered by it but again it's like
because it it feels different i think it's because like women fear men
Yeah, that's it.
Like, there's no kind of, like, I mean, there might be, like, in some cases,
but genuinely, you wouldn't get, like, women who, sorry,
you wouldn't get men who, like, fear women, I would imagine.
Yeah.
Well, that's just my opinion anyways.
But obviously, when cat...
Oh, yeah, sorry, go on.
No, no, it's all right.
No, no, go on.
No, when obviously women, can't call men is different,
and then when men can't call women, it's, like...
It's scary.
Yeah, it is scary.
Yeah.
it is thingy but yeah i think obviously going back to to that um dilemma i definitely think
you should tell her just because i would want to know i would i would want to know who like the
crack that was going on yeah you know what i mean next in bed every night like but expect you
probably will say why didn't you tell us this yeah before because now i'm literally like
really like really into this guy and you've told his thingy but at the same time
like that's just a
thing that you're going to have to
navigate a navigate yeah but tell her
for sure but just have an answer ready
as to when she will ask you why didn't she tell me
why didn't you tell her yeah but no like
I get it if it's like anxiety and you just don't know what to do
and then it festers a big thing
yeah yeah yeah yeah but yeah
did we have any more dilemmas or we're just doing one
just a one episode one episode
because the last episode was
an hour long.
It was and you know
