00:00Do you have anything you wish you said to Central Sea?
00:02I think I said everything I need to say.
00:05My name is Willa Bennett, and today I'm going on a blind date.
00:10Should I have a little?
00:14So this is the part where I sit in darkness, and I wonder who it could possibly be.
00:24Hello.
00:25Hey, what's up?
00:27Um, not much.
00:28Have I met you before?
00:29We've met many times.
00:31Many?
00:32Hmm, maybe not many.
00:35What would you describe about yourself to someone who's never met you?
00:39Oh, I'm quite poor, good-looking, funny, rich.
00:46So you're Sabrina Carpenter?
00:48I'll take that as a no.
00:50Olivia Rodrigo?
00:51No.
00:52Are you a singer?
00:53No.
00:54Only in my spare time.
00:56Okay, tell me one thing about what you do.
00:59I feel myself.
01:01Do you have a podcast?
01:02Yeah.
01:03All right, Madeline.
01:06Hello.
01:07Hello.
01:08How are you?
01:09I'm good, how are you?
01:10Would you say you're pretty lonesome?
01:12Thank you very much.
01:13No.
01:14No?
01:15Not anymore.
01:16Why?
01:17What's the latest?
01:18Your love?
01:19Yeah.
01:20With who?
01:21I don't know.
01:22Are these real?
01:23Yeah, of course.
01:24No, they're not.
01:25Swear, try.
01:26I listened to your sex episode, it was really interesting.
01:28Do you think my boobs look good in it?
01:30I did not watch the video.
01:31You should have.
01:32Elephant in the room, let me address it.
01:33I'm wearing a push-up bra.
01:34I heard you talk about it, but I was audio only.
01:36You said that women make you more than men.
01:39Did I say that?
01:40Yep.
01:41Well, I just feel like men don't know what they're doing,
01:43a lot of the time.
01:44It's not to say that men have never made me cum,
01:46it's just that they don't do it as often.
01:48I think it's cool that you say that on your podcast,
01:50but I feel like a lot of people won't go there.
01:51Do you want some bread?
01:54Is it real?
01:57Why do you think everything's fake?
01:59I don't know.
02:00Okay, so what's new in your life?
02:01I just got a cat.
02:02I cut my hair last week.
02:04I just cut my hair.
02:05And I just have my birthday.
02:06Yeah, we have like the same hair now.
02:07Twinning.
02:08They call that the urge to merge.
02:09Do you remember that?
02:10No.
02:11You haven't knew about the urge to merge?
02:12No.
02:13Tell me everything.
02:14Did you ever know about Rose and Rosie?
02:15Maybe there's a UK thing.
02:16No, come on.
02:17It is a UK thing.
02:18It's like two lesbians that look alike.
02:19Yeah, but it goes so much deeper than that.
02:21Have you ever dated someone that looks like you?
02:22Yes.
02:23Really?
02:24Only one time though.
02:25I wouldn't probably do it again.
02:26Is it weird?
02:27It was weird.
02:28Do you share clothes?
02:29We had different style, but we had like the same face.
02:31Do you like sharing clothes with the person you're dating?
02:33No.
02:34Oh, I do.
02:35I like sharing clothes with them.
02:36I don't like when they share my clothes with themselves.
02:38You have some good clothes though.
02:39I would definitely say your clothes.
02:41Really?
02:42All the chrome hearts.
02:43That's true.
02:44I only have tank tops though.
02:45Is there anything you've stolen from an ex that you're like,
02:46I've never given me back?
02:47Almost everything I own is stolen from someone at some point.
02:50I have one, like one really good hoodie that I stole from my ex
02:53when I was like 19 and I cling to it.
02:56What's the hoodie?
02:57It's so shit.
02:58It's a sport hoodie from our secondary school.
03:00It's like, I've never found one that compares.
03:03Whatever works, man.
03:04And I was never on the sports team.
03:05So every time I wear it, I'm like, I'm cooler than I really am.
03:08Do you think he sees?
03:09Yeah, it has a name on it and everything.
03:13I'm going to ask you some questions from an old Cosmopolitan.
03:16This one is iconic.
03:17It actually is the Taylor Swift one.
03:19Oh.
03:20Oh, and I got you your favorite spicy rigatoni.
03:22How do you know it's my favorite?
03:23I stalked you on Instagram.
03:25Of course.
03:26Do you think it's important to have manners on a first date?
03:28No.
03:29Do you?
03:30Yeah.
03:31I think the less the better.
03:32Really?
03:33Yeah.
03:34Questions from old Cosmos.
03:35What does healthy casual sex mean to you?
03:37To me?
03:38Yeah.
03:39No, to the other person on the date.
03:40I feel like it depends on who you are.
03:41Like if you're like an obsessive person,
03:43then there's no such thing as like healthy and casual, you know?
03:46Also protection.
03:48Get tested.
03:49What's the longest you've had casual sex with someone?
03:51Maybe two months?
03:52I was expecting longer.
03:53I thought you were going to be like two years.
03:55I'm like a bit of a terrible person though.
03:57What do you mean?
03:58I don't know.
03:59I like hit a lot of stereotypes that are like usually reserved for like frat boys.
04:03So you like don't like sleepovers?
04:04No, like I will leave.
04:06And I'll like kiss them on the forehead and then I'll go and then I'll ghost them.
04:10One of our cover lines is the new casual, hot sex, no sleepovers.
04:13What do you think of that?
04:14I'm very pro that.
04:15There's just no need to wake up feeling like shit somewhere when you could leave.
04:18What if it's your house?
04:20In recent experience?
04:21No.
04:22You're like get out.
04:23Yeah.
04:24What's the shadiest thing you've ever done to an ex?
04:27I don't think I've ever done anything shady to him.
04:29I feel like I know that's not true.
04:31As a loyal follower of you.
04:33Nope.
04:34Nothing comes to mind.
04:35Nothing comes to mind.
04:36All right.
04:37What's the longest vow of intentional celibacy you've had?
04:40And what did it teach you about sex?
04:42A year?
04:44Maybe?
04:45Was that hard?
04:46No.
04:47What did you do with all your free time?
04:49Got drunk.
04:50What did it teach me about sex?
04:52Yeah.
04:53That's kind of gross.
04:54Like if I don't like kiss someone for a long time it starts to become like a foreign concept
04:59to me and I'm like why would anyone do that?
05:02So you like think about it too literally and then you're like ugh.
05:04Yeah and then I get freaked out because I'm like out of practice and I'm like wait that's
05:08such a weird thing people do and why would you ever do it with someone you like don't know?
05:12But like also just even the fact that married couples do it I'm like that's gross.
05:16And I get like freaked out.
05:18It taught me that I don't like sex that much.
05:20What's the worst date you've ever been on?
05:22If you say this I'll kill you.
05:24Okay.
05:26Not this.
05:27I don't know how much I can say without people getting angry.
05:30It was my coworkers because I was a key worker and I was just going through a phase.
05:34Okay interesting.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Any more details?
05:37What made it so bad?
05:38I don't know but I do think I was the problem.
05:39Frat boy vibes?
05:40That was when I was bald and had like an eyebrow piercing.
05:44Whoa I want to see you bald.
05:46You never see me bald?
05:47No.
05:48I'll show you later.
05:49Is it hot?
05:50No.
05:51Okay.
05:52What is the worst sex advice you've ever gotten?
05:53I wasn't given sex advice ever because all my friends were straight and I was like figuring
05:59out my own situations but then when I had sex with a boy for the first time I was like a grown woman
06:06and so I had to like consult my friends and be like what the ?
06:09I mean they told me a lot of different things.
06:11How old were you?
06:12When I first had sex with a boy?
06:1320.
06:14When did you first have sex with a girl?
06:15When I was 16.
06:17It was my girlfriend so it was okay.
06:20How did you meet?
06:21Through a pantomime that I did.
06:24What?
06:26And I was a Spice girl.
06:28Cute.
06:29Yeah.
06:30How do you not make your self worth dependent on the person you're sleeping with?
06:32Why would it ever be?
06:34True.
06:35Do you feel like you're free from needing validation?
06:38No.
06:39You?
06:40Definitely not.
06:41Yeah.
06:42What was your worst breakup and what did it teach you?
06:44My worst breakup was with my ex, one of them.
06:51It like zapped my brain clear of every fact I ever thought I knew and then I had to like rebuild
06:56my life because they like destroyed my like entire psyche.
07:00I went through like this heavy fur sleeve, glove and hat and scarf.
07:05It was like my only thing that I could like cope with.
07:08And I had like no money.
07:09I would spend all my money on Depop buying ugly scarves and ugly hats.
07:14How do you feel about them now?
07:16First scoffs?
07:17Yeah.
07:18Um, I like can't look at them for too long.
07:20I do have one though.
07:21It kind of thrills me.
07:23Good job.
07:25Good job.
07:30Okay.
07:31Now we're going to do reader's questions.
07:33Are you excited?
07:34No.
07:35You've said in your podcast that women are better at making you orgasm than men.
07:39What do men get wrong about sex?
07:40When men try, they're fine.
07:42Like 99% of the time.
07:44Like it's literally not a skills issue.
07:45It's a them issue.
07:47Like it's a, they're evil issue.
07:50I would agree.
07:51Like there's no difference.
07:52It's not like, it's like a universal body part.
07:54They're not doing anything wrong except not trying.
07:56Which celebrity was your bisexual awakening?
07:59Sabrina Carpenter.
08:00Wow.
08:01I thought that you were her.
08:02I know.
08:03Top three turn ons in someone.
08:06Red nail varnish.
08:11Keep going.
08:12Similar hair to mine.
08:13I cut my hair last week.
08:14I just cut my hair.
08:15Yeah.
08:16We have like the same hair now.
08:17What is it called?
08:18Lookalikes?
08:19Urge to merge.
08:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:21Okay.
08:22And I like when they like remember little things about me.
08:23Like what's my favorite pasta?
08:25And what's my favorite drink?
08:27So I'm perfect.
08:28I didn't say that.
08:29Do you have anything you wish you said to Central Sea?
08:31I think I said everything I need to say.
08:34Should we ship anyone you're currently dating?
08:37No.
08:38So do you want us to like tell the Etsy witches to like put a good curse on whoever you're seeing right now?
08:44I wish you would do that.
08:46I would totally do that for you.
08:47I actually drove past a big sign the other day that was like advertising like walk-ins love spells and I got very tempted.
08:54Have you seen those TikTok ads that are like this person won't text you back? Swipe up and we'll put a spell on them.
08:59No, but send me one.
09:00It's literally all I get.
09:01I always get so disappointed in myself when my algorithm takes that specific turn of like insanity and like delusion and I start getting those like readings and it's like they're gonna text you tonight.
09:11And I'm like, no.
09:12Will they text you?
09:13Tonight?
09:14Yeah.
09:15Fingers crossed.
09:16All right, you survived the reader's questions.
09:18That was good.
09:19Oh, thank you.
09:20So.
09:23Is it good?
09:24Do you want to try mine?
09:25Why is it different to mine?
09:27It's better than yours.
09:28Oh.
09:29Do you mind if my fork is a little bit?
09:32Excuse me.
09:34Will you go on another date with me?
09:35Yes.
09:37Cool.
09:38I'll see you next time.
09:39I'll see you next time.
