Podcast: Antti Holma's partner's ex showed up at their front door – soon Holma was lying on the kitchen floor
Antti Holma shares a humorous podcast anecdote about his partner's ex visiting their home unexpectedly, highlighting cultural differences in greetings.
In a recent episode of his podcast 'Antin matka', Finnish host and actor Antti Holma recounts a curious incident where his partner's ex-partner visited their home. Holma finds the situation particularly strange as, having been a staunch single, he has never experienced an ex showing up unannounced at his door. This moment of surprise leads Holma to reflect on the nature of such visits, suggesting that the ex-partner was conducting a sort of 'inspection' of his current living situation with his partner, Emmanuel 'Manu' Ceysson.
During the visit, Holma notes a significant cultural difference in greetings that almost immediately became apparent. While he, as a Finn, naturally attempted to greet the visitor with a handshake, the ex-partner opted for a more common French greeting involving cheek kisses. This humorous clash of expectations not only highlights cultural variances but also adds to the complexity of the dynamic between Holma, his partner, and the ex, showcasing how different backgrounds can influence social interactions.
As Holma vividly describes the appearance of the ex-partner and his feelings during the encounter, he reflects on the complexities of relationships past and present. His storytelling captures the awkwardness and humor of the situation while hinting at deeper emotions regarding acceptance and validation within relationships. Overall, the episode offers insight into Holma's personal experiences and reveals how our cultural backgrounds shape the way we interact with one another in intimate settings.
