Simon goes on a couple of unusual benders before he and Lee talk about trust, mistrust, getting a feeling about people, and the ways we humans function in groups.


Some other details from the episode: Crying while watching Love Actually on a long haul flight, a Melbourne billboard for erectile disfunction, folding a fitted sheet, Lee's bedding packaging, ironing, The Traitors (reality TV show), eating kangaroo bottom, Matt Hancock (former British politician), Love Island (in name only), Survivor, Big Brother, Lee's baseline venal character, triggers for not trusting, liking or connecting, Simon being less guarded around women, being bullied, learning to trust men again, Wellington College, trying to be friends with everyone, learning to flirt, the way men wield power, people who talk about themselves, Lee editing himself and audio waveforms.
