It’s a pretty warm up… well, pretty warm, it’s about 16 degrees. So, it’s not too bad, but it’s not exactly a scolder. It’s not that hot. Sorry, I’m just crossing the road so it might be a bit loud. But, Petinka and Chris and the crew, everyone else, who’ve been interested in transcribing a bunch of episodes, asked if I could make some more. So, I thought I would start with something a little bit different. I thought I would start with sort of Walking With Pete “Story Time” style episode now, where, I guess, I can talk to you guys while I’m walking and tell you a story about, I guess, my past or something interesting that I’ve experienced. Again, (it’s) just another excuse to give you new vocab and (so you can) hear me talk about different things. So, I thought today, I would tell you about the worst date that I’d ever been on. So, the worst date I’ve ever been on. So, until recently, I had used Tinder, I had used… What’s the other one called? Happn, is another app that you can use for dating where it was a nice way of sort of meeting complete strangers who weren’t in your circle of friends from work or from the gym you go to etc.. So, that’s why I kind of like those apps. And before that, I had on occasion given my number to women that I’d met out and about, whether I was at a cafe or I just… I don’t know, (I) saw someone somewhere and decided this person looks interesting and fun so I’ll give them my number and ask if they want to get coffee. So, I used to live in Newport. Newport is a suburb in the southwest of Geelong. Geelong?! In the southwest of Melbourne*. And I decided one day… we were at a cafe and there was this beautiful waitress serving us, and we had a bit of a connection. She was getting my jokes and laughing at stuff I was saying, and like one of those girls who just. Is really friendly straight off the bat. So, she wasn’t very reserved, (she) didn’t ignore us, (she) was keen to sort of joke around and chat. So, I was there with a friend, and by the end of the time that we were having coffee and probably lunch I decided I’m going to give this girl my number. I’m going to, you know, give her my number and say if you came for coffee sometime let me know and let’s go grab coffee. So, I ended up giving this girl my number. And, you know, you get really nervous before you leave. You know what you want to do. And so, I was sort of half shaking, but (I) ended up saying, you know, here’s my number.
