How do the hosts introduce the episode and personal updates (girlfriend, jet lag, vest)?
Charlotte has news.
I have a girlfriend. Oh my God. Drop it. Drop it. I know. I know.
She did it, guys. She did it. As in she as in me. We've met her, Ruby. We have.
She's the best. She's so beautiful. She's so gorgeous. So kind. I am so happy. I have to stop screaming.
That's enough. No, no. Her head's going to get too big if she listens to this and she hears how great she is. She will listen. Bye. Hey, girl. Anyway. Anyway. Keep it short and sweet. Yeah. It has to be. I'm being weird.
Hello. Hello. Hi. Oh my God, Ruby, you're here. Ruby's back. Ruby's back. Everyone, welcome back to Everybody Has a Secret. My name is Charlotte White. Across from me, gorgeous co-host Annabelle Lee.
Hi. Hi, Belly.
And of course, as we mentioned, producer Rubes, back in the chair.
How are you? I'm good. I'm back in the chair. I'm really cold though. Like, yeah, it's a rude shot coming back to Melbourne, but I'm so, I miss you guys so much.
You were so fucking missed. You really were. You were glowing, firstly, can I just say. So much. Secondly, can I just say, you posted a couple of photos on your Instagram. Yeah. I was soaking it all in, going through them. One of the comments was, oh, Marissa. Oh, my God. No way. Of course. Ruby Hall, doppelganger alert, looks a bit like Marissa from The O.C.
I was like, who's Marissa and what did she say? I was like, who is this girl? I think that's what they meant. Yes.
No, that's definitely what they meant. And I say it. We see it. It's probably because I was glowing up in Europe. I feel like the glow's already gone after being back for a few days. No, you're still glowing. I can't even speak. Good luck to me today. I've been really jet lagged this week too. But no, I miss you guys so, so much. And it looks like you had so much fun while I was away as well with Miranda and Sarah. Oh, they were the best as well.
So funny. We miss you though. The glow lives on. The glow lives on. The glow glows vicariously as well through us.
Okay, gorge. Before we probably get into today's episode, guys, a quick shout out to our sponsor, Don't Muck With A Truck. Driving new trucks doesn't have to be scary. Stay safe by giving them heaps of space on the road. Stay safe. Stay safe out there. Yeah.
Belly. Yes. You came across a Vogue piece. I did. It wasn't too long. It was definitely before Ruby left.
I think it was last week. Oh. I think it was when Ruby was away. Because I remember thinking, oh, Rubes is going to love this one.
Oh, okay. Well, cool. So it was when Ruby was away. Love that. Well, regardless, it sparked Convo and a call out for this week's episode.
Yes. So the piece is written by Emma Bochy. It's titled, We've All Heard of Love Bombing. What About Friend Bombing?
Mm-hmm.
So what is friend bombing? It's essentially what we know of love bombing, but the friend version. Emma in this piece defines friend bombing as a pattern of overly intense, premature attention within a new friendship. So yeah, love bombing in a platonic context. I have definitely felt this before. Really? Yes, but I've never... You've never been able to clock it? Clock that it's, you know, a repetition of intensity that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Yes. Premature as well was a really important word in that definition I just read out. Because I was like, yeah, it's always, it feels too early. Like, it feels as if a friend hasn't necessarily earned the closeness and all of a sudden they're going...
You're my best friend. You're my best friend. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And then they're getting butt hurt when you're hanging out with other people. And it's like, whoa, we're exclusive. Wait, what's the tea? Jealousy is another one. I loved the pace. The one thing I did notice that it didn't touch on that I noticed was that like in queer circles or maybe more neurodivergent or ADHD circles specifically, it's like people do have these really intense friendships and they come on quite suddenly and it's not necessarily a symptom of friend bombing. It's more just like, I think you need to be able to clock the difference between like feeling pressure and just having a friend that's really enthusiastic and new in your life.
