00:00Hey, how are we?
00:10I'm so sorry.
00:12Last season's first daters, how lovely they were.
00:16So eager to please, so innocent, so utterly charming.
00:21Do you fucking like me?
00:23She has a woman said you were a granny now, to be fair.
00:30And so we cast our minds back to this time last year.
00:35When once again, the beautiful and the brave made their way to the restaurant.
00:40Each one determined to make the best possible first impression.
00:48What's your name?
00:49Sam.
00:50Are you pulling it off, huh?
00:52You ready for some good time?
00:53Nervous for some good time too, but that's okay.
00:57Sure, there was a bit of trepidation.
00:59But for the most part, they were careful not to show it.
01:05Nice to meet you, Kylia.
01:06Nice to meet you.
01:07How are you keeping?
01:08Are you my date?
01:09No?
01:10You wish.
01:11No?
01:12No?
01:13No?
01:15When they walk through this door, they're extremely vulnerable, all of them.
01:21It's extremely nerve-wracking.
01:23Okay.
01:24Breathe in, breathe out.
01:26I think I'd be nervous for a blind date.
01:28I think I'd be nervous for any date, but I also think I'm nervous generally.
01:32How are you feeling, Rory?
01:34Very nervous, exceedingly nervous, I can't lie.
01:36Guys, it's a big deal to put yourself out there.
01:38You talk to people and they're nervous.
01:41Gotta get the social anxiety and all.
01:43But listen, I'm putting myself out there.
01:46Don't stress, man.
01:47Do whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable.
01:51If you can reach that equilibrium, you're good.
01:55On a scale of one to ten, how sexually adventurous are you?
01:58Ten.
02:01Ten, ten, ten.
02:03Mary's other magic number was two, not three, two.
02:11Sometimes when I'm on Tinder, I'm like, God, it's just couples wanting threesomes.
02:16I'm like, yeah, go on, you know, that's fine.
02:19But like, not today, not this year for me.
02:21You know, I like to find my love, you know, so that's why I'm really excited to be here.
02:25You look lovely.
02:26Yeah, thank you so much.
02:27What's your name?
02:28Mary.
02:29Mary?
02:30Yeah.
02:31Where are you from, Mary?
02:32In Barcelona, but I moved to Ireland, like, 13 years ago.
02:33Oh, claro que sí, una catalana.
02:34Do you think you're a good date?
02:36Uh, I don't know, because I'm single.
02:39So, like, to put that means that I'm not, you know.
02:42All right, are you ready to find love, yeah?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Love, to me, I think it's an adventure.
02:47So, do you have a usual type?
02:50Yeah, yeah, I usually do, yeah.
02:52I want to hear this.
02:53Yeah, so, I like, like, feminine girls that like to travel, you know, and they're always smiling.
02:58Physically, I just love, like, a good set of eyes, you know, like, blue eyes, green eyes, like, I get lost by that.
03:06So, if you had, like, a celebrity crush, who would it be?
03:08Oh, my God, definitely, like, Jennifer Lawrence.
03:11Oh, yeah?
03:12Yeah.
03:13She would be my crush, too, eh?
03:14She's beautiful.
03:15Mary's date, Boo, certainly had that mockingjay allure.
03:19Another celebrity crush, however, was less District 13, more District Court.
03:24Judge Judy can do no wrong.
03:26I get it in my eyes.
03:27She's, she is class.
03:30It's one of my guilty pleasures, like, just sticking on Judge Judy on the telly and binging her for, like, three or four hours.
03:35Mm-hmm.
03:36Well, well, well.
03:37Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:38You okay?
03:39Just made it, yeah.
03:40Oh.
03:41Noone's over there, Ricky.
03:42You didn't even have met her.
03:43I know, that's the thing.
03:44Not every dater hopes to meet a version of their favorite celeb.
03:50Daniel was his own favorite celeb.
03:53I'm identifying myself as Adele because every breakup I have, even if it was two, three dates, I would write a very sad song.
04:03Why would you say you're single?
04:04Because I'm colorblind, and I can't see the red flags.
04:10I practice so many times.
04:15How are you?
04:16Where's the accent from?
04:17Mexico.
04:18Oh, claro que si, que pasa contigo, no?
04:19Muy bien, todo bien.
04:20You look lovely.
04:21You have the positive energy in you.
04:22Thank you, thank you.
04:23I'm a hopeless romantic, and I would love to be in love again.
04:36It's just the most amazing feeling.
04:39And I'm sad crying.
04:41For all that, Daniel's time in Ireland had made him resolutely stout of heart.
04:46Would you like a drink?
04:47Yes, please.
04:48What would you like?
04:49Pine of Guinness.
04:50Pine of Guinness.
04:51Yes.
04:52Give me one sec.
04:53I love Guinness.
04:54Sometimes they find me out with an Irish guy.
04:55They will say like, oh my god, you're more Irish than me, because I'm drinking my Pine of Guinness.
05:02Where are you from yourself?
05:03I'm from Leash.
05:04Oh, is that the vegetable?
05:07Mm.
05:08What?
05:09Sorry.
05:10You mean Leek.
05:11Leek.
05:12Leek.
05:13I've never heard that before.
05:17It doesn't matter how they look.
05:22The connection is very important.
05:25Bring him in.
05:26Bring him in.
05:27But if they are ginger, oh my god, gingers, yes.
05:31Bring them on.
05:32I want my Prince Charming.
05:34Don't we all?
05:35Yeah.
05:38I saw the chain.
05:39I said, bad guy.
05:40Bad guy.
05:42If you were on a bad date, what would you do?
05:44How bad are we talking?
05:47He got piss drunk and went home sick.
05:50I had to clean up his vomit in the bathroom.
05:53Ugh.
05:56He stopped on the side of the road and took piss right in front of me.
06:00He's literally asking me no questions.
06:02Every time that I talk about myself, I feel like I'm interrupting him.
06:04He was like this, on his phone.
06:06Ah, she just got up and walked out.
06:09Stop it!
06:11I nearly killed a date once by accident.
06:14So you hold my heart out.
06:18We went to the 44 for a swim.
06:20It turned around she was gone.
06:21And I literally just looked down and I had to pull her back up.
06:27I was on one date before where it went really well and then afterwards show me how to girlfriend.
06:31Oh!
06:32Oh, God!
06:33Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:34I got a love that keeps me waiting.
06:38I'm a lonely boy.
06:39I'm a lovely boy.
06:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:42Is he in the room with this red neck?
06:48Should we do this?
06:49Should we do this?
06:51Am I first here?
06:52No, you're not.
06:53Damn it.
06:55A few girls would probably fartle me in the different way of talking, I was just cranky.
06:59He may have been misunderstood in the past, but all that was about to change for Owen.
07:05His date was Lorraine, and just like him, she spoke fluent rebel.
07:09I am who I am, like, and I don't really change for anyone else, like.
07:13I don't really give a shit, like, you know. I really don't.
07:17Hi, how are you?
07:18Hi, how are you?
07:19I'm very good, how are you?
07:20Lorraine, how are you?
07:21Lorraine, I'm Owen.
07:22Nice to meet you.
07:23Nice to meet you.
07:24How are you, Keith Van?
07:25I'm not too bad, though.
07:26Where are you from?
07:27I'm Cork.
07:28I am too.
07:29What part of Cork are you from?
07:30Blarney Street.
07:31Oh, very good.
07:32I'm from Tokar, Ballaby Head.
07:34Yeah, I was kind of getting the accent a bit, like.
07:36Yeah, yeah.
07:37It's a city centre accent.
07:38I know, it is, isn't it?
07:39I'm kind of raging, because we could have met down below.
07:41It's saving us coming up, like.
07:43Wasting a trip.
07:44You need that initial kind of attraction, but then personality has to come out.
07:47What's the worst I can have?
07:48Exactly, like.
07:49Do you know what I mean?
07:50I just won't go to Tokar, but I'm going to an area no more.
07:53And that's just it.
07:54And then we're all fine.
07:55Oh, jeez.
07:56There's nothing more attractive than personality.
08:01Colm knew exactly who he was, and who he wanted to meet.
08:06I suppose a life companion, you know, a twin flame.
08:12I like quite masculine men.
08:16I think someone's similar to me.
08:18Someone that's into the outdoors, into health.
08:21I really like fitness and stuff, so this is something I could share with somebody.
08:25Someone that I can travel with or go hiking with.
08:28Somebody who, like, wants to do things and experience things.
08:32Just someone that you get on really well with.
08:36Somebody who's comfortable in their own skin and they're confident and they're unapologetic.
08:40Has a good sense of humour and kind.
08:42Funny and likes to laugh and doesn't take themselves or life too seriously.
08:46Mademoiselle, welcome.
08:48You look lonely today.
08:50Are you ready to do this?
08:51I suppose so.
08:52Here now, no going back.
08:54I'm one of these people where nothing is off limits.
08:57Alright so, Colin.
08:58How are you getting on?
08:59How are you?
09:00How are you?
09:01Good to meet you.
09:02Good to meet you.
09:03So why did you come to First States to find a match?
09:07I was just scrolling on the internet.
09:09And ten minutes prior to that I had signed up for a charity skydive.
09:12So I was like, why not this?
09:14If you don't put yourself out into the world and you don't take all the options that are available,
09:17you might miss something.
09:18He's the Everest climber.
09:19Really?
09:20I've done base camp but I didn't do the top.
09:22Not yet.
09:23Still impressive.
09:24It is.
09:25How do you like hiking?
09:26I do like hiking.
09:27I think it's more like being out in nature thing.
09:29Second day, top of Everest, you know.
09:33Daters often found that comedy went a long way.
09:36All they needed was the right material and a little build up.
09:40You can call me Budo.
09:41That's okay.
09:42That's perfect.
09:43I know your face.
09:44Do you?
09:45Yeah, from TikTok.
09:46Yeah, that's right.
09:47I really care what I look like outfit-wise because I was in the closet for so long.
09:52Like, I only came out of the closet like two years ago.
09:54I love your whole outfit.
09:55It's lovely.
09:56It's really, really nice.
09:57It's a man's section.
09:58Really? Is it?
09:59No, it's not.
10:00It fits you so well.
10:01You can feel it if you want.
10:02Like girlfriend material.
10:03That's good.
10:06What part of Mexico are you from?
10:08The north of Mexico.
10:09Near to Monterrey.
10:11I'm not sure of you.
10:12I didn't do well in geography in school.
10:14Do you know where Mexico is?
10:15Yeah, I know where Mexico is.
10:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:17I love making jokes.
10:19And I think if you're funny in English, that's when you're going to realize you're bilingual
10:26now.
10:27I like someone who is bubbly.
10:30You know, you need to have a bit of a laugh at somebody.
10:34Yeah, yeah.
10:35It's me again.
10:36Why are you so obsessed with us?
10:38Yeah.
10:39Just creepy obsessed, you know.
10:41The prime Irish beef?
10:43Yes.
10:44And how would you like it cooked?
10:46Oh my God.
10:47Oh, he's going to ask for a well done.
10:49What?
10:50He's going to ask for a well done.
10:51Oh, stop it.
10:52Yes.
10:53How many Mexicans have you dated?
10:54Fine Irish beef.
10:55You're looking right at it.
10:56It's a joke here.
10:57I'm joking.
10:58Adam.
10:59Adam.
11:00Adam.
11:01Adam.
11:02When Aaron met Adam, she knew that if she found the match she was looking for, it would
11:12strike itself.
11:13Oh, the spark's very important.
11:14And if that's not there, then maybe you're kind of talking yourself into doing something
11:19that you just don't entirely feel.
11:21I lip read, so, and I can't hear because I have a cochlear implant, but I just mishear
11:26things, particularly when there's backward noise.
11:28So, you know, just so you know, not read, just deaf.
11:31Because I have a hearing loss, I have to tell people right away I'm hard of hearing,
11:35and I just find that whenever I meet people new, that's actually a great way to make a
11:40connection with someone at first, because then they have to look me in the eye.
11:43They have to look at my mouth.
11:44I'll try to kind of, like, use my lips more.
11:50As Aaron and Adam were about to discover, connection was all about chemistry.
11:55Well, to start with anyway.
11:57What do you work as?
11:59I run a lab in Limerick.
12:00What kind of lab?
12:01It's a chemistry lab.
12:02Chemistry lab, yeah.
12:03I run the lab, so it's...
12:05Ooh!
12:06I know, pure notions.
12:08But I enjoy it, you know, it's fun.
12:11Like, I did forensic science in college, you know, like CSI and that kind of a thing.
12:16Oh, amazing!
12:17Oh, do you like serial killer or drama science?
12:19Yeah, I don't mean to sound like I'm a serial killer now.
12:22Well, I was going to ask you who your favourite serial killer is later, but I'll ask you that later.
12:26Well, I have a list.
12:28Ted Bundy.
12:30Well, Geoffrey Damer is up there.
12:33Yeah, well, that's because he's hot right now after the Netflix series.
12:36Oh, yeah, yeah.
12:37I suppose.
12:38Yeah, that's true.
12:39You know, the whole Hollywood glam.
12:41Exactly.
12:42There's some that aren't getting enough recognition.
12:44I know, you know, I'm all for recognising serial killers.
12:50Coming up...
12:51Supposed the riots over the question.
12:53Questionable body art.
12:55That's fucking gas.
12:56How important is dressing on your first date?
13:00Oh, definitely don't come naked.
13:03And style tips from the pros.
13:12Interesting looks and complimentary styles don't always guarantee that two daters will fit.
13:18But there was a lot to be said for last season's fashion.
13:21How important is dressing on your first date?
13:24Oh, definitely don't come naked.
13:25Definitely come dressed up.
13:26I walked into that one.
13:27This year, the outfits have been, like, you know, amazing.
13:30They can pull it off.
13:31I couldn't pull something like that off.
13:32I'm like a digestive biscuit.
13:33I just, like, wear, you know, t-shirt and jeans.
13:38If you think you can handle the pressure of people looking at you, well, you do go and do that yourself.
13:52But being comfortable could be being really out there.
13:55Well, if you want to be out there, be my guest.
13:57Yeah.
13:58I was just going to say your dress is fabulous.
14:01Yay!
14:02I got the door.
14:03Yeah.
14:04When you see the purple lady walking in without trying hard, it's like...
14:12Yeah, yeah.
14:13It hits differently.
14:14It's great for the person you are a date with to know who they're meeting rather than if you try to be less.
14:21But, again, certain people can really pull it off.
14:23Somebody can really pull it off.
14:24I'm like, I wish I was that cool.
14:25I was like, oh, actually, you're cool in that, you know.
14:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:29You had two extra brownie points.
14:30Yeah, completely.
14:31Two points.
14:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:33Ben wasn't looking to score brownie points, but despite his somber attire, he was a bit of a sweetie.
14:39Life is like a box of chocolates.
14:41You can see what you're going to get by looking at the packet.
14:44Well, I like it, you're full of statements, huh?
14:47Yeah, I was like, I want to wear something comfortable today, so I was like...
14:51So this is your comfortable zone?
14:53Yeah.
14:54Cool.
14:55I am pretty spontaneous and chirpy, but, like, once I mellow out, most of my time, I'm pretty relaxed.
15:02Got a lot of tattoos.
15:03They're pretty cool.
15:05What's this one here?
15:06It's lightning.
15:07I love lightning.
15:08I think it's one of the, like, most beautiful things in the world.
15:10It is.
15:11It's pretty class, as long as you're not standing under it.
15:13Yeah, that's literally what happened.
15:15I rushed home one day after a thunderstorm, and, like, lightning lit, lit, like, right over my head.
15:22And I was like, what the fuck?
15:23I can feel it in the air.
15:25I literally, like, fell back.
15:26It was so cool.
15:27Did you get struck by lightning?
15:28The whole garden, like, went white.
15:30Jesus, yeah.
15:31It was exhilarating.
15:32Wow.
15:33I'm looking for someone fun, someone mischievous, someone who's gonna, like, go goblin mode with me.
15:40Hi.
15:41Nice to meet you.
15:42Are you a hugger?
15:43Sure.
15:44What's your name?
15:45Ben.
15:46Kira, nice to meet you.
15:47Nice to meet you.
15:48Nice to meet you.
15:49How are you doing?
15:50Oh, I'm doing.
15:51You're doing?
15:52I'm doing.
15:53Just simply doing.
15:54Nice.
15:55Yeah, I'm here.
15:56I'm like, yeah.
15:57Love your tattoos.
15:59There's so much to take in.
16:00I love it.
16:01In a good way.
16:02In the best way.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Fucking safe.
16:05Oh my god.
16:06You look so cool, man.
16:07I don't have the look.
16:08The look is, wow.
16:10Every dater's look tells a story about who they are.
16:14Dylan was very proud of his.
16:17Eh, tattoos, tattoos.
16:18Tattoos, tattoos.
16:19Let me see this one.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Eh, boy.
16:22I feel like I'm nearly an ambassador for people with tattoos.
16:26So, what's your usual type?
16:28My usual type?
16:29I want to hear this.
16:30I don't think I've ever dated someone that had, like, similar interests to me or, like,
16:33heavily tattooed or anything like that.
16:34No.
16:35Not to think.
16:36Like, I'm here now, like, so obviously it hasn't worked out for me, like.
16:38Do you know what I mean?
16:39Now I'm kind of looking for someone that actually has similar interests, be it, like,
16:44the art, tattoos, heavy metal.
16:47Someone who just hasn't quite grown out of the goth phase.
16:50Fairy goth mother.
16:51And as if by magic, Lynn appeared.
16:54I wouldn't believe it by the look of me, but I love knitting and crocheting.
16:59You know, I sound like I'm about 70.
17:03Look at you.
17:05Lady in green, huh?
17:06Ready for a date.
17:07It's been a while.
17:09I have been single nearly three years.
17:12I'm kind of fed up with it now.
17:14I want a bit of company.
17:16Get me the right man.
17:17Exactly.
17:18I want someone that will, like, have their own little style or quirk or something weird.
17:27How's it going?
17:28Hi.
17:29What's the crack?
17:30How are you?
17:31Nice to meet you.
17:32Nice to meet you.
17:33Dylan, I'm Lynn.
17:34Nice to meet you.
17:35So where are you from?
17:36Dublin.
17:37You're from Dublin?
17:38Yeah.
17:39Where, where are you from?
17:40Clark.
17:41Oh.
17:42Starts singing to me.
17:43When you're from Hartley, the tone goes up like.
17:45Yeah, it's very, like, melodic.
17:46Yeah, it's very, like, melodic.
17:47But I can't sing anyways.
17:48I can sing.
17:49Can you?
17:50Go ahead.
17:51Not a chance.
17:52I called a tattoo studio when I live in New York.
17:55Sam's date Kathleen was a barista.
17:57But as it turned out, they shared the same affection for body art.
18:01I did a course last year and just completely fell in love.
18:05And I actually ended up tattooing latte art that one of my best friends did on her arm.
18:10So it's like she carries a piece of me.
18:13Oh, my God.
18:14It's like, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
18:16I've got slantia and saunas.
18:19Because my bartending, every time I would give a drink, I would get slantia.
18:22So health and happiness.
18:24At this point, it's just sticker sleeve for me.
18:26You said you're getting into tattooing, right?
18:28Yes.
18:29Yes.
18:30Oh, my God.
18:31It's all like portfolio work and stuff right now.
18:33So I get a mountain tattoo.
18:35Where is it?
18:37It's here.
18:38I designed it myself as well.
18:40Don't show my mom now.
18:43Do you want to get more?
18:45Definitely.
18:46Yeah.
18:47I already have an idea about it.
18:48What is it?
18:49It's a really important date.
18:51January 2022, I was on top of my game.
18:54Massive tournament.
18:55So I was playing the quarterfinal of that tournament against number two of Ireland at the time.
18:59And I have a cardiac arrest on court.
19:05Oh, shit.
19:07Yeah, I know.
19:08Wow.
19:09Fuck it.
19:10Wow.
19:11I remember I picked up shuttles.
19:12I feel, this is weird.
19:14And I put my head up, look at the guy who I was serving to.
19:18And everything else was black and green.
19:21And then, gone.
19:24One of my close friends, she was one of the really, really good cardiologists in the country.
19:31She come over and she was doing CPR on me.
19:34And then she was screaming, no, no pause.
19:37No, there's no pause.
19:39And then she was doing CPR and then she got, she called the ambulance and she got the shock out.
19:45There, there was a certain degree of like, oh, I could have gone that day.
19:50Because it was so close.
19:51It was so close.
19:52I suppose after that, it's, it put a lot of things to perspective, you know?
19:58Your tattoos are very, very cool.
20:01Tattoos are a serious business.
20:04And then again, so is comedy.
20:07I don't know if you can mark it out.
20:09There's plenty more fish in the sea.
20:10And it's me and the fishbowl then going, ah, fuck.
20:13Because I'm obviously not in the fucking sea.
20:16I always swore I'd never get a portrait of anybody, but.
20:20My favourite film is The Snapper.
20:22I don't know if you can see it.
20:23I got Colin Meaney sitting on the sofa.
20:27I suppose the riot's out of the question.
20:29Oh my, that's fucking gas.
20:38The games that daters play reveal a lot about who they are.
20:42Rory, for example, was living in a fantasy world.
20:46Do you have hobbies?
20:47Yeah, yeah, I play Dungeons and Dragons.
20:50You like Dungeons and Dragons?
20:51Yeah, I know, I love it.
20:52Yeah, that's some kink, huh?
20:56Honey, I'm gonna be a dragon tonight.
20:58Back down in your dungeon.
21:00Oh, no, no, not like that.
21:02Ah, come on.
21:06I'm a little bit of a nerd as well.
21:07I actually love, like, quiz shows and game shows.
21:09Do you really?
21:10Yeah.
21:11Like watching?
21:12Watching and I may have taken part in one.
21:14Really?
21:15Yeah.
21:16What were you on?
21:17It's a bit random.
21:18You probably wouldn't think it.
21:19I was on Countdown.
21:21Amazing.
21:22Yeah.
21:23When people had heard that I had applied for it, I think they thought I was joking.
21:30How did you do on the numbers bit?
21:31No, awful.
21:32If there's four numbers rounds, I think I got two of them, correct?
21:36Really?
21:37I love the numbers round.
21:38No, letters and words, anagrams in my jam.
21:40Really?
21:41What was your longest number?
21:42I think I got an eight.
21:43Did you?
21:44I think I got an eight, yeah.
21:45You don't remember what it was?
21:46Erm...
21:47If I got an eight, I would...
21:48I think it was removers.
21:50I could be wrong.
21:51That's good.
21:52M-O-V-E-R-S, yeah.
21:53That's a pretty good one.
21:54Yeah.
21:55I still count on my fingers.
21:57I've dated guys in the past that were handsome, but not much going on upstairs.
22:03Like, such a waste.
22:06At home during Christmas, we all play amongst ourselves and play different board games and
22:10stuff.
22:11That's kind of our thing at Christmas time.
22:12Do you really?
22:13Mm-hmm.
22:14Yeah.
22:15Do you play anything?
22:16I love Scrabble, but no one will really play me.
22:17I'm pretty good at Scrabble.
22:18Are you?
22:19Oh, yeah.
22:20Brilliant.
22:21Scrabble plan.
22:22So, you see my time roll over here?
22:24Yeah.
22:25Just behind me?
22:26Yeah.
22:27Yeah.
22:28Simon and Melissa.
22:29Oh, yeah?
22:30Melissa was on Countdown.
22:31Oh, yeah.
22:32Yeah, the TV program.
22:33Really?
22:34Yeah.
22:35Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
22:38Wow!
22:39Yeah.
22:40So, Countdown I would do.
22:41Okay.
22:42But, general knowledge, I'm so, so bad at.
22:44So, those kind of quiz shows, it would be a disaster.
22:46Disaster.
22:47I'm the exact opposite.
22:48I'm so bad with maths and I'm so bad with words.
22:50But, like, I love trivia and I like questions.
22:53like general knowledge questions okay so we're on a quiz team together that's
22:57decided for sure pub quiz team pub quiz team get Mateo on the board we'll find something for
23:02Mateo and Neil house music between 1990 to 2010 very specialist do you know he'd be great on
23:09mastermind if you were going to do a game show what would you do naked attraction and on that
23:21note it was time for Rory to expose his little secret I play like Dungeons and Dragons with my
23:30friends do you yeah I hope that's not like a red flag no no it's not a red flag from Stranger Things
23:38yeah most people know it from something like that yeah I've never heard of it but I've seen there
23:44was a video on YouTube of these drag queens playing Dungeons and Dragons oh wow I'd say that like I
23:49watched it and they were so confused I was like yeah I would be too like I'm not an overly creative
23:53guy can't paint can't really write that well I don't have many creative outlets let's say but
23:58uh Dungeons and Dragons is great just to kind of get the creative juices flowing and mess with your
24:03mates as well in this like fantasy world it's an interesting one in the sense of premise is very
24:07simple but in practice sometimes it can I did not think I'd be talking about Dungeons and Dragons but
24:13some people take it as far we don't I would like to clarify like disclaimer along the bottom here
24:18disclaimer we're not like we some people like would go as far as like dressing up as a characters
24:23role-playing as um everything like that that's what I'd be like red flag yeah red flag do not fret
24:28we don't we don't do that well this is anything worse than somebody whipping out a card game on a
24:32first date funny you should mention that I knew you would do that such a pee thing to do five cards each
24:42okay I get to turn over one of these cards and the funniest answer voted by me of course wins
24:46the question is what ended my last relationship
24:59penis breath that's interesting I actually can't say this
25:17announcing that I'm about to finish
25:30how do you find the dating app I think people are very like extra cautious on it probably rightfully so
25:42because you're dealing with a lot of fucking weirdos yes but it's like you know so but that's
25:48that's hard as someone who's like doesn't think they're a massive weirdo why would you send these
25:53pictures unsolicited is there someone who's like you know one in a thousand people who were like love
25:59that do you know and then and then it's like encouraging them surely surely after sending like
26:0520 dick pics you're like maybe this isn't working I didn't know you have to wait 24 hours to actually
26:10delete your profile so then 24 hours where my email everything like seriously no would you text
26:16someone saying that like seriously what do you fucking lick me
26:21you're sitting at home now on a fucking Friday day
26:30someone actually text you that yeah do you take some back no are you for real like I mean that was a
26:36fucking red flag there straightaway like how long we got with him for the question is a romantic candle at
26:48dinner would be incomplete without yeah are you ready okay a romantic candle at dinner would be
26:57incomplete without over sharing and a romantic candle at dinner would be incomplete without geese
27:05I personally would love to go to a candle at dinner with geese
27:14well you could have dinner at the same time as well it's gotta be it's gotta be over sharing
27:25at the first dates restaurant food is often the thing that brings two daters together or indeed drives
27:33them apart like Adam and Aaron like would you be telling like a foodie a foodie oh yeah yeah oh yeah I
27:41I love my food so I have a weird phobia of crisps you've a weird phobia of crisps really yeah it's a
27:49weird one well I don't know because crisps are my greatest weakness in life oh yeah it's it's it's
27:56dangerous I can't stop eating them I think that's the same with everyone is it the crunchiness or is
28:01it the texture or I've never even tried one yeah I probably shouldn't be bringing this up at all but
28:07Papa John's is like my worst nightmare it's almost like a giant crisp and we get PTSD flashbacks and
28:12everyone one of them comes out the restaurant like I can't even oh yeah something about crisps so like
28:20the next thing on my list is custard oh really yeah I'm gonna try custard it's gonna be another big day
28:26how did you eat growing up and it's a good question so our date has enjoyed this first taste of each
28:37other's company it was time to ask anyone for seconds no I think you kind of know straight away if you want
28:45to meet someone again or not if you haven't already I think so you know now it's only early she's stunning

34:53do you think
34:54silent
34:55oh
34:56oh that that hurt
35:01Poor life choices
35:07Both are very adequate
35:11And I would guess that that's you, Neil
35:14You know it
35:17But I would actually choose silence
35:19Yes
35:20That was a poor life choice right there
35:22That was terrible
35:24We can all choose our path in life
35:26But we can't choose our place on the zodiac
35:29So, would the stars align for Sam and Kathleen?
35:33Okay, so Gemini, Sun
35:35Taurus rising, Sagittarius moon
35:38The way you're looking at me
35:40You've probably heard some things about Gemini
35:42So don't even
35:44This is discrimination
35:47It's okay
35:48What's your
35:49I'll give you a chat
35:51I'm a Libra
35:54I haven't met a lot of Libras
35:55It's usually Sagittarius, Aquarius
35:59You're just going through all your exes
36:00I don't have any exes
36:02No
36:03No
36:03What's the longest relationship you've been in?
36:06Maybe a little over a month
36:07Type thing
36:08And then it's just
36:09Any reason?
36:11It just hasn't happened
36:13Why do I have a school for you?
36:15Capricorn
36:16Capricorn
36:16When does that make it a big difference?
36:19No, you're not one of those
36:20You're not one of those
36:21I am
36:21I am
36:22I love all that kind of jazz
36:24Okay, you can have a chicken with your arm
36:25No, no, no
36:26Okay
36:26Owen didn't share Lorraine's views on astrology
36:29But would she get over it?
36:32There's probably a bit of a wall there now
36:34And to just take
36:36A nice person, genuine
36:38That I know is very genuine
36:40Before I kind of
36:41Do you know, leave my full heart in it?
36:44So, if you don't mind me asking what your sexual orientation is
36:47Oh, thank you for asking
36:49I'm a he-him
36:51Bisexual boy
36:52And did you have, like, accepting family or
36:55My mama asked me once
36:57And she was like, are you gay?
36:58And I'm like, no
36:59And I was waiting for her to be like, are you bisexual?
37:01But she didn't
37:02Okay
37:03So
37:03Pure knows them
37:05I'm going to be honest
37:06I've never gone on a date with a guy
37:07Ever
37:09I'm like
37:10I'm like
37:11I have, what is it
37:12Bi panic
37:12When it's like
37:13Oh, you can
37:14You can, you know
37:15Be spontaneous
37:16And flirtatious
37:17When it comes to
37:18This one gender
37:19But when it comes to
37:20The other
37:21You're like
37:21Oh
37:22Oh
37:23My usual little tagline is
37:25If I don't vibe with you up here
37:27I'm not going to vibe with you down there
37:29I'm all about the quirky teeth
37:32The, you know
37:33The freckles
37:34The piercings
37:35I find that so attractive
37:36Then when someone just
37:37Takes that on
37:38And kind of wears it with pride
37:39You know
37:40Someone who just likes to live their life
37:42And just do what they want
37:44You know
37:44Regardless of what the world tells them
37:47Yeah
37:48Get this kind of like
37:50Nomadic world traveler
37:52Bi-fi for sure
37:53Yeah, like Benjamin Button
37:54Yeah
37:54I feel like I've met you in a club in Berlin sometime
37:56And we can't remember that we did
37:58Kind of a thing
37:58We've probably met somewhere
38:00Maybe in a different life
38:02Maybe in a different life
38:03For some daters
38:04The past is a different life
38:06And for all kinds of reasons
38:08Not everyone is comfortable revisiting it
38:10But a simple question from Daniel
38:12Would lead Colum
38:14To do just that
38:15And would you have had many relationships done?
38:18No
38:18No?
38:19No
38:19I did
38:19My longest relationship was with
38:21With a girl
38:22Like
38:22Because I was playing the whole hetero cards
38:25I should have won oscars
38:26For all them years I did that
38:27Growing up in the 90s
38:29I knew some lads my age
38:32That struggled
38:33That were bullied
38:34Seeing them cry at school
38:38Wanting to go home from school
38:40Because there was stuff written on the desks
38:42Because everybody knew what their lifestyle was outside of school
38:46It was horrible
38:47You go into this classroom
38:49And you see faggot or queer and stuff like that
38:52And I was going
38:52I wouldn't be able to cope with that
38:54When I became 17, 18
38:56That's when I started becoming better at soccer
38:59I definitely wouldn't have been able to change in the dressing room
39:01Because you'd have stuff settled about you behind your back
39:04God only knows if I wasn't able to play football
39:08You'd never know what would be the next thing
39:11Because now it was the hardest thing
39:14It was the wrong thing to do
39:15I led her up the garden path as they say
39:17But selfishly I did it for myself
39:21But I did it for the right reasons for me
39:24I feel like there was homophobia
39:26But it wasn't a defining feature of my school experience
39:29I won Debs Queen
39:31And my Debs
39:32Which was really wholesome
39:33Did you have any gay friends in school?
39:35No
39:36Do you have gay friends?
39:38For Alex
39:38Killian's innocent question
39:40Would lead to the single bravest revelation of all
39:44Actually funny enough
39:46You'll probably be in shock right now
39:47Well I'm not out
39:49What?
39:51Sorry I need a minute
39:55What?
39:56You're not out?
39:58No like I'm out to like
40:00Except my family
40:01Babes
40:04Russian culture can be very restricting
40:09There's no way in hell
40:13I could have been an opened free gay guy in Latvia
40:17Oh my god
40:19It's fine
40:20It's not fine though
40:23I guess it was maybe just a build up in me
40:26That just like
40:27Breathe
40:29Breathe Alex
40:30Like you need to let it out
40:31Kind of a thing
40:31It's shit
40:35And it's tough
40:36We're getting deep
40:37But you are fucking killing it
40:39Because you're still here
40:40You're like I'm trauma dumping
40:42I don't like trauma dumping
40:43No
40:44You're expressing your feelings
40:45And there's nothing wrong with that
40:47Because like
40:49How can you feel accepted for who you are?
40:51It's hard to feel connected to someone
40:53When they don't know you
40:54You're gay
40:55You know
40:56I'm gay
40:58You are gay
40:59And you know what?
41:01It's fucking fabulous
41:02And own it
41:03Like what?
41:04Cheers
41:05To being gay
41:06And it struggles
41:07And everything else that comes with it
41:09But you know
41:09We kill
41:10Slay the day
41:11As I always would say
41:12Slay the day
41:13Are you getting a start in a man
41:18Or a man in the
41:18A start in a man
41:19You're sweet enough to be dessert
41:21Like we don't need dessert
41:22Clearly Sean was smitten
41:24You could see it in his eyes
41:26And so could Abby
41:28I love a flirty fella
41:29Like they have to
41:30To have a little bit of spark to them
41:32I think
41:33I can't tell
41:33Do you have green or blue eyes?
41:35Like hazel
41:36I think
41:37You have brown shirts
41:37Yeah
41:38Nah they're blue
41:39Thank you
41:41Yeah
41:41Dile ladies
41:42No yours are like
41:44Brown green I think
41:45I think so yeah
41:46Very nice
41:48How will I know that you fancy your date?
41:51If I can't take my eyes off
41:53Or like that's a good indicia
41:54I'm back
41:59I'm back to get your face
41:59I didn't even took my eyes off for
42:02Like I didn't even check the menu
42:04Getting in tune with your date
42:06Can take time
42:07And lots of chat
42:08Fortunately
42:09Tom had both
42:11So we got there in the end
42:12No fear of the stage ever
42:13You honest with me
42:14Brilliant
42:14I love it
42:15Tom Jones and an Elvis freak
42:16Yeah yeah
42:17No bother
42:17And don't mind these ballads
42:19No the high stuff
42:19Give me rock and roll
42:20When you sing
42:21It allows you to tap in
42:23So it's better than
42:24Like two hours of fucking therapy
42:26And three hours of massage
42:27Yeah and go back to me tap dancing
42:29Now on the
42:29I used to do it as a kid
42:31Oh I want to go back
42:32Can I tell
42:32I thought it was going to be deadly
42:33Me fever stuck to the floor
42:34You're never sitting so bad in your life
42:36It's actually shocking
42:37Yeah it was shocking
42:38You have to be willing
42:39To let go
42:40And you have to be willing
42:41To fuck it up
42:42Genuinely you do
42:43Otherwise it has to be fun
42:44The jive is deadly
42:45Because it's forgiving
42:46If you have a bit of rhythm
42:47You're flying
42:47If you can feel the beat of the music
42:49You're grand
42:49Honest to God
42:50Would you like a man who can dance?
42:53I love watching dancing
42:55My friends told me
42:57I've no
42:57I don't care about your friends
42:59So you'll have to come
42:59Honest to God
43:00There's a class starting
43:01And it's for four or five weeks
43:02And it's fucking great crack
43:03If you don't like it
43:04You can just leave
43:05It's fucking great crack
43:06Second dates
43:08The holy grail of first dates
43:11You can go first
43:13An elusive prize
43:15More elusive for some than others
43:17Okay
43:17I would say no
43:18Yeah I thought that's what
43:19I was going to say
43:20Hey Paul
43:22How are you doing me?
43:23All good?
43:23That looked beautiful
43:24Did you cook that yourself?
43:25I wish I was
43:26I wish I was
43:27Definitely think there was
43:29A lot of things in common
43:30It's like view the world
43:32And how you purchase stuff
43:33Like really
43:33Really amazing
43:34See you man
43:35See you later
43:36Would you like to see
43:37Each other again
43:38Romantically?
43:40Eh?
43:42I think
43:43I think you're an amazing person
43:45I'd probably like to get you
43:47To know you a bit better
43:48But
43:48I think my initial thing
43:51Probably wouldn't be
43:52A second date
43:52Okay
43:53That's fair
43:54So don't forget it
43:59Look
44:01I think when you meet someone
44:03And it's meant to be
44:04And you know
44:05You know
44:05The time's right
44:07And I'm right
44:07You know
44:08The universe will provide
44:09Sorry
44:10Would you say that you fancied her?
44:17Yeah definitely
44:17Yeah
44:17Do you think she fancied you?
44:20I don't know
44:21Like
44:21When I offered to pay for the whole thing
44:23She was like no
44:24And I was like
44:24I don't know if that's a good sign
44:26Thank you
44:28Would you like
44:32To see each other again
44:33Romantically?
44:35I would anyway
44:35No
44:38Fair enough
44:39It's not there for me
44:40No
44:40It's fair enough
44:41Is it anyway?
44:42If it's not there
44:42It's not there like
44:43So thank you
44:44I like the way you dress
44:46I like the tattoos
44:47Like
44:47Everything that I would want
44:49On paper
44:49But
44:50For me
44:51It just didn't connect
44:52Would you like to see each other again
44:53Romantically?
44:54No
44:55It's been a lovely evening
44:59Yeah
45:00I really enjoyed it
45:01Thank you
45:01Do you want to go first or
45:03Do you want to go first?
45:06Yeah
45:06I can't if you want
45:07Yeah
45:08I would anyway
45:10I would
45:13I don't know if I felt a spark
45:15But I would definitely like to hang out again
45:17Because I thought we vibed well
45:19So
45:19Are you interested in the offer of friendship
45:24Or
45:24I suppose the name of the show
45:26Is first date
45:26So like
45:27I was
45:28Hopefully trying to get a second date out of
45:30What John
45:31Wait, that's what it is
45:32Personally
45:32I didn't feel like you were attracted to me
45:34Yeah
45:35I won't go romantically
45:37But
45:38You agree?
45:39Yeah
45:39Oh thank God
45:40I felt so bad

45:48You know
45:48No
45:49I would
45:50I feel like if we go have for a drink
45:51It would be great
45:52Teach me how to breathe
45:53As Killian and Alec showed
45:55Sometimes a no
45:56Was just as good as a yes
45:58First case
45:59Gonna be together
46:00Yeah
46:01We had a
46:01That was emotional rollercoaster
46:04I'll tell you that much

46:09I'm not gonna lie
46:09Oh
46:10One day
46:16Somebody's gonna walk into your life
46:18And then you're gonna realize
46:20Why it never worked out before
46:22Wise words indeed
46:25And
46:26If proof of those words were needed
46:28Here it is
46:29Have you ever been in Limerick?

46:32I usually go down to like Siege

46:37I know
46:37What the fuck

46:39And I was like
46:39I feel like I've met you in a past life
46:41Yeah
46:41The minute we sat down
46:43I didn't kind of actually feel
46:44Any of the restaurant around us
46:45Which was nice
46:46It was a good feeling
46:47The more I talk about it now
46:48The more I realize
46:49It was a good date
46:50So where did you say you were staying again?
46:53I'm not telling you that
46:54Because you could turn up
46:54Oh fuck off
46:55I can't even stalk you
46:56It's very hard to say it
46:57On the first date
46:58When you just met
46:58And you're so similar
46:59So similar
47:00Hi, how's it going?
