But yeah, you do get yourself into these completely unexpected situations and you're like, I'm going to have to be... a grown-up oh it's me

Sophie EganGUEST
oh yeah yeah it's just me oh which you know at guilt we had this and i'm not sure if leah touched on it but this uh russian fight night we like to call it so i think it was our first january it was definitely high summer it was a early evening sun was still shining they were sitting on table one at guilt which was right in front of the front door you know kind of one of our prime great little tables for four where you get to watch all the action but you're kind of raised and a little bit away from it but you're kind of watching everybody come in And these two Russian couples sitting there, bottle of wine or two down, you know, nothing major.

Sophie EganGUEST
Leah and I different parts of the room look over and one of the guys they're sitting diagonal from each other he's sort of leapt over the table and he's pretty big dude like 120 kilos six foot two three like a big big unit and is just punching this other dude in the face middle of the dining room packed and Leah and I just both run in there without even talking and try and separate them, like jump in the middle of these guys.
