Short filmTranscript
00:00To love everybody this is the first date's restaurant. Let's have some fun a
00:09Place where anything what have you gotten yourself into is possible. Are you ready?
00:16I'm shaking myself. I'm not gonna lie. I need some romance. An instant attraction. Hi. You're gorgeous.
00:24All of my women die so don't get too close. All of my husbands died so don't worry.
00:32A match made in heaven. You are just a big tall drink of water aren't you?
00:40A sudden shock to the senses. Oh here we go.
00:44I live for the drama. None of these diners know what to expect. I'm actually getting engaged tonight.
00:51Absolutely. I won't send you dick pics. You are nailing this day pop.
00:56What happens next? Oh no. It's up to them.
01:02It's the moment of truth.
01:09My love language is probably all of them all the time.
01:12What's your favorite language to say I love you in?
01:15French. Oh yeah?
01:16I love you. Say it one more time.
01:17I love you.
01:18Oh my God.
01:21My favorite.
01:22I love you.
01:24Do it like this.
01:25I like to keep it Irish.
01:29Which technically turns into you are the pulse of my heart.
01:33Oh that's lovely.
01:34Isn't that beautiful?
01:35I do like someone with an accent.
01:37You know like even like it's so stupid but even someone with a double accent.
01:39They're like hey I'm like oh yes.
01:41I love you.
01:42Creation would be volim te.
01:45The Serbian brešto te volim.
01:47They don't sound like love at all do they?
01:49Sounds like a command.
01:53To love.
01:53To love.
02:00The most I've ever cried over an Irish guy was 45 minutes.
02:04Saw him on St. Patrick's Day forgot his name.
02:07Raven.
02:08She's all about the love.
02:10In it or out of it she's just raven about it.
02:14I love love.
02:15I love being in love.
02:15I feel like I try to exude love even just in my life in general.
02:22I would like someone who has a good sense of humor where we can just like keep playing you know
02:25riffing off each other.
02:29I've introduced so many of my friends to each other and then they get a relationship and I'm like
02:33that is so beautiful and so happy I'm so happy I'm the matchmaker.
02:36And then I'm like oh.
02:38Your name signorina?
02:39Raven.
02:39Nice.
02:40Raven lovely name.
02:41Thank you very much.
02:42Where's the accent from?
02:43I'm originally from Los Angeles.
02:45LA girls.
02:46The world is so much bigger than America.
02:47It's bigger than Los Angeles.
02:49So I came over to Trinity to do my master's.
02:52So LA girl eh?
02:53Oh yeah.
02:54What brings you here?
02:56Film studies would you believe?
02:57Ah okay.
02:58Is there any particular genre of film or?
03:00So I actually did my degree in comedy.
03:02So I'm like legally funny in the state of Massachusetts.
03:05Yeah.
03:06I do Tik Tok.
03:07I make Tik Toks.
03:08Oh yeah?
03:08Wow.
03:09It all started because I started a Tik Tok series called 32 counties 32 pubs where I went to every
03:13single county in Ireland and I had a pint in all of them.
03:16So you've been to Leash?
03:17I've been to Leash.
03:18Wow.
03:18I went to I went to Abbey Leaks and I went to Morrissey's.
03:22Morrissey's.
03:22No way.
03:22Oh cool.
03:23That's really cool.
03:24Yeah.
03:25I remember I was out in Mayo like in Westport and this dad came up to me with his son's phone
03:29number and so his son was an actor and so I googled him and he was really good looking.
03:34So I shot him a text and he moved to Canada.
03:41Well Jen, how's it going out?
03:42Yeah.
03:43Oh, you bring great energy.
03:44Yeah, yeah.
03:45Trying to.
03:46I love love, you know.
03:49It's kind of the best thing we do I think, you know.
03:50What's your name?
03:54Connor.
03:54Nice to meet you, Connor.
03:55Mateo.
03:56Where is the accent from?
03:57Dublin?
03:57Carlo.
03:58Carlo.
03:58Okay.
03:59When it comes to Oxen.
04:00A tiny county many kilometers south of here it's fine.
04:03People in Ireland don't even know where it is.
04:05So I've gone on quite a lot of dates.
04:07There's one point where I was going on on average about two a week.
04:12You're ready.
04:12You're ready.
04:13You don't need to look back up.
04:14Oh no.
04:14I prepped myself before going in here.
04:16Best version of yourself.
04:17Perfect.
04:18Yeah, I would like to find the love of my life like and as they say like oh the one.
04:22Hi, nice to meet you.
04:23Hey, how are you?
04:24I'm Raven.
04:25I'm Connor.
04:25Nice to meet you.
04:26Nice to meet you too.
04:27You're looking lovely.
04:28Thank you very much.
04:28Yourself as well.
04:29Oh my goodness.
04:30No, I love all the colors.
04:32Thank you so much.
04:33Where are you from yourself?
04:34Carlo.
04:35Oh, from Carlo.
04:35I live in Nace, but I'm originally from LA.
04:38Okay, because I was trying to pick up on the accent.
04:40Yeah, it's a little funky.
04:42My parents call it Corkifornia because it's somewhere in between Cork and California at this point.
04:45There's no place better than Ireland.
04:48I love going to the pub with my friends on a Wednesday.
04:50That'd be crazy in the U.S.
04:52They'd be like, ooh, that's wild.
04:53You know, you may have an issue.
04:55I have a Guinness, yeah.
04:55Guinness, absolutely.
04:56On the way.
04:58Good choice.
04:59I have to pick the traditional Irish drink because I'm already sporting the tri-color.
05:02You are the tri-color.
05:03You literally are.
05:04They were like, how can we get the most stereotypical Irish man for the stereotypical American?
05:08Oh, 100%.
05:10Someone asked me like, oh, what are some words that you did not understand when you moved here?
05:14Shifting was one that I didn't understand.
05:16I thought they were given hand jobs in the club.
05:19I was like, this is crazy.
05:21This is, they're doing this?
05:23To L.A. and Ireland.
05:24Perfect.
05:24Beautiful.
05:26There we go.
05:27Thank you very much.
05:28I'm very proud of you, kids.
05:30Very nice.
05:30Hey, what's the story?
05:36Ben might just be one of the most dangerous performers on the music scene.
05:42So, you know, you've got your singing and all that, and then karate, you know,
05:47I've been doing that for years.
05:49What makes you a great day, then?
05:54I have genetically perfect eyebrows.
05:58I've been asked if I get work on them.
06:00No, it's all natural, man.
06:02If you like eyebrows, make sure you give me a call.
06:07Now, welcome.
06:07Hello.
06:08How are you?
06:08Your name, please?
06:09Ben.
06:10Nice to meet you, Ben.
06:11How long have I been single?
06:12Better question to ask, how long I've not been single, because I've, I mean, I've never had a girlfriend, so, you know.
06:18Follow me, you're looking tight.
06:19Thanks, man.
06:20You know, first time for everything, right?
06:22Hey, how are you?
06:23Hello.
06:24Nice to meet you.
06:24Nice to meet you.
06:25You're very tall, aren't you?
06:26I'm pretty lanky, yeah.
06:27What how do you do?
06:28Six foot four.
06:29Okay.
06:30In these shoes, six foot five, because they've got a bit of heel on.
06:33You need that extra inch.
06:34Oh yeah, you got it, you got to show it off.
06:37Well, it's going to take, like, longer to get up and kiss.
06:39That's the problem, you know what I mean?
06:40You're going to have to bend down.
06:41That's not a problem.
06:41I've done my squats.
06:45Ben, what's the following?
06:47By day, teach karate.
06:49Oh, cool.
06:50Been in black belt since I was 15.
06:52Basically, the moment I turned 18, they were like, Ben, can you cover this class?
06:56And I was like, yeah, yeah.
06:57And then, by night, I do music musician.
07:00I don't want to say it's numero uno, because then karate's numero dos, right?
07:03But that's my main love.
07:05So, tell me, what's your usual type?
07:07My usual type?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Musician, I guess.
07:10Musician, okay.
07:12And if she came in and she was acting like Jack Black, I'd already be in love.
07:19Story.
07:20Some work hard to hone their music skills.
07:29Saoirse was born to play.
07:34I grew up in, like, my dad was a rapper.
07:37Like, they were both musicians.
07:39I'm like, I think my environment was pretty laid back in that kind of sense.
07:42I really love being in love.
07:47I know that kind of sounds a bit mad at such a young age, but when it's good, it's amazing.
07:53No.
07:54Hello.
07:55Look at your funky look.
07:57What's her name?
07:58Saoirse.
07:59Saoirse, nice to meet you.
08:00Nice to meet you too.
08:01You look like you're ready for a bit of a dating, huh?
08:03I am, absolutely.
08:04Yeah.
08:04As much of a man as they may be, like, I just, I love them to have us offside.
08:09They need to be able to make me laugh or it just won't work.
08:11Your date is at the bar.
08:12Okay.
08:13Should we go and meet him?
08:14Absolutely.
08:16What would really impress you?
08:17A musician.
08:19I'd be like, hi.
08:20Yeah, let's do this.
08:22Hello.
08:23Hello.
08:24How are you?
08:24Hi, I'm Saoirse.
08:25Saoirse, nice to meet you.
08:26Nice to meet you.
08:27Ben.
08:29How are you?
08:30Oh, man, I'm class.
08:31I love the piercings.
08:32Thanks so much.
08:33Great.
08:33Where are you from?
08:34I'm literally just up the road.
08:36What about you?
08:37I'm from Cork.
08:38Jeez, sorry to hear that.
08:41I've been living in Dublin for about a year and a half.
08:47I get a little bit nervous from time to time, um, but I don't think I'll be that nervous.
08:54Um, so, um, like, what do you, what do you do then?
08:57Um, I'm actually a musician.
09:00Yeah.
09:00Same.
09:01Are you a musician as well?
09:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:02Oh, cool.
09:03How long have you been performing for?
09:04Well, when I was a kid and I went to the lecture picnic and, um, I was at the tent where Glen Hansard was playing.
09:10Okay.
09:11After he got off, I, like, snuck up and I sang, I want to be sedated by the Ramones.
09:17That's so cute.
09:18So it was a wee, like, 10-year-old just going 20, 20, 24 hours ago.
09:22Yeah, yeah.
09:22And from there, like, it just kind of kicked off.
09:24I love that.
09:24That's so cool.
09:26So do you go to college for music then?
09:27Um, I'm actually going into sixth year.
09:30I'm 18, but I'm going into sixth year.
09:32Okay, gotcha.
09:33How old are you, actually?
09:34I'm 20.
09:34Okay, nice.
09:35So not like...
09:37It's not weird.
09:38It's not too weird.
09:39Yeah, no, that's fine.
09:40That's cool, yeah.
09:41Okay.
09:44I like it, though.
09:45That's cool.
09:45Why did you do the same side?
09:46Oh, thank you.
09:47So, basically, I used to have it down to here.
09:50Really?
09:50Like, massive.
09:51Yeah, yeah.
09:51And I would get so much sweat just down here at the back of my neck.
09:55You're going for that Viking look.
09:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:57I have, like I said, amazing friends who love me for who I am.
10:00But there's, like, that extra layer of, like, having that, you know, partner who, like, sees you totally.
10:05I have never tried oysters in my life, but I...
10:07Today's the day.
10:08Today is the day.
10:09That's my personality-wise, I like someone who's also outgoing.
10:13When I was dating people who were a bit shy, it's hard introducing them to my friends,
10:16because it is a huge kind of friend group.
10:20Now that we've been visually acquainted, I'm putting on my glasses now so I can actually see.
10:24Don't have to worry about me.
10:25I think glasses always look cute.
10:26There you go.
10:27One time I was with someone who was like, can you leave your glasses on all the time?
10:30I was like, so no, I have to, like, go to sleep.
10:32No, I would like someone to think they're cute, but not, like, leave them on, you know?
10:35They're like, that's weird.
10:36That's when it starts to get weird.
10:39Irish guys are weird.
10:40They like weird things.
10:42This one dude just started, like, licking my foot once.
10:45Like, this is a foot coming out of a shoe.
10:47And also, he didn't ask.
10:48There's, like, one person I dated before, and they were just like, oh, I like it that you're ginger.
10:52And I'm like, okay, cool, I'll roll with that.
10:54And then it started getting weird.
10:56They were, like, way too into it.
10:59Being single for three has really helped me better understand what a relationship should be.
11:04Because when you're that age, like, from 18, you don't really know.
11:06You're either going to love it or you're going to hate it.
11:08I used to be an oyster shucker, so.
11:10I've shopped oysters in my time, too.
11:11Nice, yeah, there you go.
11:12Yeah, yeah.
11:13A mother shucker, as they call us.
11:14A mother.
11:15That was me.
11:16That was me the entire time.
11:17Recently, I haven't seen my friends with their boyfriends or their partners.
11:20And I'm like, oh, that'd be really nice, you know?
11:22All right, cheers.
11:24Sláinte.
11:27Mine didn't come out.
11:29And, like, if things go well, because I would say it's going well so far,
11:33there's a place that I go to that there is a raven table that I can go and I can be like,
11:38hey, is the raven table available?
11:38And they're like, let me check.
11:40Having a table for just you, man, that's so raven.
11:43I get that so much.
11:49I had a feeling, like, you've probably heard this a lot.
11:51My Instagram is that's not so raven.
11:53That's not so raven.
11:54That's not so raven, exactly.
11:55We're different.
12:02Oh, look at the rose, it's so pretty.
12:04Oh, I love that, yeah.
12:05Oh, gosh.
12:06That's so cute.
12:07I love that.
12:07I'm going to keep that there.
12:09Sure enough.
12:10I think the best way to meet someone is, like, on a night out.
12:13I'd rather do that than, like, scroll mindlessly on my phone,
12:17like, looking for someone, because I think they're hot.
12:19I'll be honest, I've never had fish.
12:24How have you never had fish?
12:25Well, until very recently, I was a vegetarian.
12:27Oh, okay, that makes sense.
12:29That's my life, so...
12:30How long were you a vegetarian for?
12:31Literally all my life.
12:32Really?
12:33And then I just kind of went off it.
12:34I was like, man, chicken just tastes too good, though.
12:38McDonald's, chicken nuggets, like, come on.
12:40Would you ever approach anybody on a night out and try and chat them up?
12:44Um, every once in a while, but there's got to be some sort of sign.
12:52I wouldn't just walk up to someone and go, hey,
12:54because I don't want to be that guy, you know what I mean?
12:56That guy is a bit weird.
12:58I will get the beef burger and the rhubarb cheesecake as well, please.
13:02Okay, cool.
13:04Did I get you some water?
13:04Um, yeah, go on.
13:06Steel sparkling tap?
13:07No, uh, just steel or a tap.
13:09That's okay.
13:10Enjoy that.
13:11Pleasure.
13:12What's the difference between still and tap?
13:14One of them's from a bottle, one of them's from the tap.
13:16Yeah, but, like, but, like, tap water is still water.
13:18No, there is a taste difference.
13:20Is there actually?
13:21Are you not a water connoisseur?
13:22No, I am.
13:23Don't get it twisted.
13:24I am a huge fan of water.
13:26A connoisseur of water?
13:27Just a connoisseur of water, man.
13:29You know, the hydro homie, like, you know what I mean?
13:31Hydro homie.
13:32That's so good.
13:34I will be, I'm going to take that from you.
13:36Okay.
13:36I like that.
13:47Hi.
13:47Hello, how are you?
13:48I'm great.
13:49How are you?
13:50Grand, yeah, yeah.
13:50Can I ask for your name?
13:51Er, Oni Lennon.
13:52You look great.
13:53Thanks.
13:54Do you want me to take your jacket?
13:55Er, yeah, sure.
13:55Okay, thanks.
13:56I love your blue shirt and your blue eyes.
13:58Yeah, it matches the eyes and the socks.
14:01It's very cool.
14:01What are your socks like?
14:02It's a sushi board.
14:03Oh, I love it.
14:05Generally, I get, like, my female friends just, like, just prep me,
14:09pick out these clothes for me, just, like, dress me up.
14:12I don't know what I'm...
14:13What's a bit of crack to you?
14:15I'm real big into, like, karaoke recently,
14:18so if I can, like, convince them to, like, come out and sing with me later,
14:20that's, that's, that's, that's the end goal.
14:22So what's your karaoke go-to?
14:25I think I have, like, a good voice to, like, George Ezra songs.
14:27My friends tell me I'm, like, a golden retriever in human form.
14:31Big and blonde and golden and friendly.
14:34Are you musical?
14:35Oh, I really like musicals.
14:37Okay.
14:38I'm always singing.
14:39You say, the price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay.
14:46In the car, I'm singing.
14:47If I'm walking the dogs, I'm singing.
14:48If I'm in the shower, I'm singing.
14:50I just, I don't know.
14:50I definitely like singing.
14:51And how did you discover your karaoke thing?
14:54When I was on holiday, I was just wandering around, like,
14:55oh, a karaoke beer?
14:56I should go on there.
14:57Like, oh, did they just let you go up and go on the machine?
14:59And then I was like, oh my god.
15:00To be fair, there are a lot of drunk people,
15:02so they're very easily pleased.
15:03But, like, every, a whole, like, crowd of people cheering and shouting
15:07in my name, like, this is the greatest thing I've ever experienced in my life.
15:10If I could date a character from a musical,
15:12maybe Glinda the Good Witch from Wicked.
15:14Popular. You're gonna be popular.
15:19She's not arrogant, confident.
15:21She's full of herself.
15:22She knows her work.
15:23She's cool.
15:23She's fun.
15:24I think we'd have fun.
15:26As a classic middle child, Katie is different from her siblings.
15:30In one sense, at least.
15:32I've never been in a relationship.
15:34I don't know whether that's because of me.
15:39My sister now is getting married,
15:41and then my younger sister now has a boyfriend, too.
15:43So, like, I'd love just to have someone now there for me.
15:47Does that make you comfortable, like, karaoke singing?
15:50My friend said, like, when I, like, came back, I was like,
15:52you're so much more confident now.
15:53What happened?
15:54What the hell is it?
15:56Are you Katie?
15:57I am.
15:57Katie, you look absolutely gorgeous.
15:59Thank you so much.
16:00Look at your beautiful blue eyes.
16:02Thank you so much.
16:03Not at all.
16:04How are you feeling?
16:05I'm very excited.
16:06I'm a bit nervous, but I'm very excited.
16:07So good to hear.
16:07Yeah.
16:08I just want to give all my love that I have
16:10and project it onto someone else and take care of someone.
16:13Like, everything's going to be fine.
16:15I've got you.
16:18So, Katie.
16:19Hi, how are you?
16:19Nice to meet you.
16:20Nice to meet you.
16:20Nice to meet you.
16:21I use arms to go.
16:22I'm like, no, I can't.
16:23Harry, what's your name?
16:24Uh, Oney.
16:24What's your name?
16:25Oney, like, Katie.
16:25Katie, nice to meet you.
16:27You too, thank you.
16:28And Nila's going to take care of you now.
16:29Would you like a drink?
16:30Oh, yes, actually.
16:31We're having love potions at the minute.
16:33Oh, I can't do cocktails.
16:34I'll be on the floor if I have a cocktail.
16:37I suppose just tell myself that, just be completely yourself.
16:41If I don't do that, then I'm not going to be able to find someone who was actually for me.
16:45What I say to my friends is I'm mature, I'm just not responsible.
16:48I know.
16:49Do you know where I got ID'd you today?
16:51In Holland and Barrett.
16:52Oh, very nice.
16:53I take these tablets, right?
16:55They're like, for a fapper.
16:56And he was like, have you got ID?
16:57And I was like, I was holding car keys and I was like, I'm 22.
17:00And he was like, yeah, but have you got ID?
17:01I was like, I have a picture of my ID.
17:02He's like, yeah, that won't do.
17:03I was like, are you for it?
17:04As if I was buying alcohol.
17:05I was like, okay, never mind.
17:07I was going to get my dad to go in and get some boy.
17:09I was so scarlet.
17:10I love a good laugh.
17:11If anything else is negotiable, like, well, it's like, if you're not making me laugh, what's the point?
17:16I love getting ID.
17:17I'm like, oh, you take a one or two and thank you.
17:23So aside from insurance, do you have any hobbies or?
17:30Oh, yeah.
17:30Insurance is not a hobby.
17:31Is insurance your hobby?
17:34My, my, my, yeah, my free time I spend looking up deductibles.
17:39Yeah, no, I'm big into music.
17:41I play a lot of music.
17:42Oh, nice.
17:42Oh, cool.
17:43What instruments do you play?
17:44Or do you sing?
17:45Yeah, so I sing, I play harmonica, I play guitar, I play the banjo, I can play the drums.
17:49I have a dream of learning the banjo.
17:51I have a banjo back in LA.
17:52I have a banjo at home.
17:54Oh my God, I can play more than happy birthday, finally.
17:57How do you feel like when someone shows you like their art or that kind of thing?
18:00Because like, I love making short films and things like that or writing scripts, but like
18:04something that comes up is like, you can maybe not enjoy something fully, but still be like,
18:09I support you and I'm so proud that you did that, you know?
18:11Or even if it's like, okay, maybe that's not my specific taste.
18:14And that was like the issue that I like ran into previous relationships was like,
18:17they would just tell me like, oh, well, I don't like it.
18:19So, you know, I have a cloud of tattoo because it reminds me to always love myself first and make
18:25that promise to myself because that situation was so bleak that like, I lost all sense of myself,
18:31like who I even was anymore.
18:32And he broke up with me because I was too anxious being around him.
18:36This is an album cover, one of my favorite albums of all time, The Glow Part 2 by The Microphones.
18:42Okay, cool. I've never heard of it.
18:43The guy who was in it is basically one guy.
18:45He was married to Michelle Williams for a while.
18:47Oh, really? I used to work on Michelle Williams.
18:49So I used to work in podcasting.
18:50Oh, shit.
18:51I literally, yeah, yeah. I used to work in podcasting.
18:53I find conversation even comes so much easier to meet someone in person.
18:57Maybe they're wearing like t-shirt for a band that you like as well.
18:59And then you can chat or even with like tattoos, like, oh, that's a nice one.
19:04Sleepy Hollow.
19:05I used to go up to Salem every year when I was living in Boston.
19:08It was the best.
19:10See, I really want to go there when I've told my friend Lillian.
19:12Just like, no, I just want to go for the witches.
19:14You literally have to go for the witches.
19:16It's the best.
19:16Even like going in like March is like nice because then you actually get to like see all the stores
19:21and like the museum and like do stuff because then Halloween it's crazy.
19:24And burn women on the stage.
19:25Yeah, exactly.
19:26That's like what you're into.
19:27Like, you know, yeah, you can do that.
19:28Full reenactment.
19:29But it's really, really nice.
19:31And me and my friend Jade used to go up every fall.
19:33And people would be like Raven and Jade.
19:35Those are fake names.
19:36Those are your old names.
19:37And we're like, no, those are our names.
19:39I love witches.
19:40And Chris, I love, I am a horoscope girl.
19:42I love astrology.
19:44I bought a really nice deck of tarot cards that I really want to learn how to use.
19:49I can kind of teach you with, I love reading tarot.
19:51I actually have a course now.
19:52I just want to get a reading.
19:54It's like those people who are like, oh, you find a funny video online or like, oh,
19:58this is fake.
19:58And it's like, man, maybe it is.
20:00But like, you live a sadder life for not just believing it's true.
20:04Exactly.
20:08I'll be honest now.
20:10This is the first time I've had like a proper, proper burger.
20:12Really?
20:13Yeah.
20:14You should have done like a ritual for that.
20:15Like going out and like buying like a massive fucking burger.
20:18This is the ritual.
20:20Fair enough.
20:22Into the unknown.
20:29How is it?
20:29Yeah, it's pretty good.
20:30I do need to be attracted to them definitely.
20:33But I definitely think I'm more so what's on the inside.
20:36As long as they have a creative side and like the emotional intelligence to create,
20:41like I love that.
20:42Are you in a band or is it just kind of?
20:44I was.
20:44Okay.
20:45Could you give me like a band that you compare yourself to?
20:47Uh, do you know, you know Queens of the Stone Age?
20:49Of course.
20:49Yeah.
20:51It's kind of like cock rock.
20:53Yeah.
20:53Okay.
20:54In the sense that it's, it's, it's kind of machismo, but it's also kind of self-aware
20:58in the fact that it is machismo.
21:00It's like, we're kind of taking the piss here a little bit, you know?
21:02I grew up in a family that just loves music.
21:05We have a shed at home and in that shed is just literally stacks upon stacks of vinyls,
21:11albums, signed copies, stuff like that.
21:14That's probably my inheritance.
21:16You ever heard of Mick Christopher?
21:17No.
21:18Oh man, he's such a good songwriter.
21:20He's one of my favorite artists.
21:21Mm-hmm.
21:21Um, like I don't even like acoustic stuff that much.
21:28Shit.
21:29No, no, no, no, no.
21:31Like, you're probably, I mean, if you're good, then, then we don't have a problem.
21:37I come from an extremely musical family and I'm so grateful for it.
21:40Oh my God.
21:41My grandparents play trad, so I've been to a few sessions with them.
21:44My granddad plays, like, every string instrument.
21:47Like, so if I do an acoustic gig, it's a lot more, like, intimate.
21:50So, like, I'll play a lot more of my songs that are, like, a bit more, like, special to me
21:54and stuff and, like, really telling stories.
21:57When I was younger, I actually got severely bullied.
22:02It was always verbal and a lot of it happened online.
22:05It was mostly about my body and stuff and, like, people making, like, fake accounts of me when
22:10I'm, like, I'm, like, 13 years old, like, and it literally was torture.
22:15Not to toot my own horn, but I've made people cry and stuff, like, at these gigs and stuff,
22:19so it's, like... Nice one.
22:20Nice one.
22:20Yeah.
22:22When I did tell my mum, she, like, helped me through it and she gave me the tools to, like,
22:26build myself back up.
22:29And I think that's where my self-confidence and things like that comes from.
22:32Like, if people are coming up afterwards and, like, seeing people in front of me, like,
22:36really connect with the music that I make and I really love it.
22:39Yeah.
22:39Yeah.
22:40Yeah.
22:46Renault's relationship history.
22:49Single.
22:50Mostly single.
22:51Actually, it's more complicated than that.
22:53I don't know if I should class, like, a couple of months as, like, actual
22:58couple, so it's, like, really single.
22:59Probably my whole life, really.
23:01Oh, apart from, like, what, maybe, like, 10 years ago.
23:04Yeah.
23:05But it was a long-distance relationship, so we had a great relationship because we didn't
23:09see each other too often.
23:11Hi.
23:13How are you, sir?
23:14Good.
23:14Renault, nice to meet you.
23:15Renault.
23:16Yes.
23:16Mateo, nice to meet you.
23:17Where are you from Renault?
23:17Uh, South Africa originally.
23:19Oh.
23:19Like, I like to go into, like, different cities and go onto Tinder and, like, swipe and see how
23:23many people like me back.
23:24It's always good, you know, if there's lots of likes, like, yes, people like me.
23:27But they never get to anywhere.
23:29Are you living here in Ireland for, presumably for a while, yeah?
23:31Yeah, in Cork, in Cork, yeah.
23:31In Cork, yeah.
23:32In Cork?
23:32Yeah, yeah.
23:32For a while?
23:34Yeah, about, like, five years, yeah.
23:35Okay, okay, okay, okay.
23:36And you?
23:37My man, I'm here for 20 years.
23:3920 years?
23:39Yeah.
23:40Still got a strong accent.
23:41Yeah.
23:42I'm never going to lose it.
23:43Oh, yeah.
23:44My roots are from Greece, so I'm quite, I'm Mediterranean.
23:46So, for some reason, I'm not really into guys that kind of look like me a little bit.
23:49Um, it's weird.
23:50How has the dating been going?
23:52Well, I'm here now, aren't I?
23:53Yeah.
23:54So, it's not that great.
23:56Have you dated many Irish guys?
23:58Oh, definitely, at least the pool in our, in Cork.
24:00Gone to them all?
24:01Gone to them all.
24:01Well, no, I'm not that bad.
24:03I play rugby with an inclusive team, so it takes up a lot of your life because you do a lot of
24:08tournaments, and then it's also a very social crowd.
24:11Now, do you want someone that's into rugby, sports?
24:14They wouldn't have to be, but I'd say someone a bit more open, maybe they can watch a match or so.
24:19Okay.
24:23Are you just more excited over it?
24:25Yeah, I was like, because after a certain point, it's like, whatever I picture, I was like,
24:28it's probably going to be wrong.
24:29Yeah.
24:30I always go for, who do I want to bring home?
24:34My mom wants me to meet a farmer.
24:35And I don't know why we have this joke because my sister's boyfriend, I was like,
24:41I want someone tall with like curly hair.
24:44And my sister was like, is it, is it him?
24:46My family are like, dear opinions.
24:48Like, yeah, okay, fine.
24:49I'm listening, but it's fine.
24:50It's the, it's the group chat.
24:51That's, that's, that's, that's, that's the vibe you have to pass.
24:54That's the vibe you're getting.
24:54I have like really good friends and all that I can like talk to about stuff.
24:57It's just never really had much romance.
25:02Very important question.
25:03Do you have any pets?
25:04Yeah, so I have two, well, I have one dog.
25:05One dog's my sister's.
25:07So I base it on two dogs.
25:08Yeah.
25:09He's my nephew, of course.
25:10Of course, yeah.
25:11Yeah, probably you.
25:12I have two and a half dogs.
25:13Two and a half.
25:14Two and a half.
25:15Two and a half.
25:16What does half mean?
25:17Our neighbor's dog likes us more.
25:19He like hops the fence and stays in a garden.
25:21And like, he'll be out like in the garden with the neighbors and then all come home and like,
25:24okay, bye.
25:25Loyal is the word they throw around a lot.
25:27Like once, once I'm friends with someone, it's like, okay, no, we're,
25:30you're stuck with me.
25:30I'm clinging to you like moss on a rock.
25:33I said to you, like, I don't like dogs.
25:37I actually have to go quickly.
25:38I have to go to the toilet, sorry.
25:39Yeah, honestly.
25:40Forever.
25:42Oh, this is so awkward.
25:43I actually forgot your name.
25:44Oney.
25:45Oney.
25:46Kate.
25:46Yeah, Kate.
25:47Yeah, Oney.
25:48Okay.
25:48Sounds like O-E from Garfield.
25:50I've never been on like a dinner date, like with anyone.
25:53Yeah.
25:54Unless it's like family.
25:55It's just like eating in front of people.
25:57I'm like.
25:58I don't care.
25:59That's their personal problem.
26:00Use your hands.
26:02This is fine.
26:02I don't care.
26:03Yeah.
26:08What about yourself?
26:09No, never.
26:10Really?
26:10No, first one.
26:12Are you surprised or like horrified or like pleasantly surprised?
26:15I have nothing to complain about so far.
26:19Ah, I'll take it.
26:21Yeah, and a lot to be happy about, to be honest.
26:23Like, I think I'm really subtle.
26:26I've been told I am not subtle at all.
26:29But it's always immensely obvious to everyone.
26:31I presume you're looking for maybe something serious or like, what's your track about that?
26:35I would say so.
26:36Yeah, that is my track.
26:37I'm looking for something real.
26:38You know, I'm not, I'm not playing games.
26:40I'm not here to play nothing.
26:42I'm sorry I'm cutting the stake for so long.
26:45It's like a comedy that's good.
26:46It just will not cut at the moment.
26:48But no, I am.
26:49I'm looking for something serious.
26:50You know, I'm looking for something real.
26:51Like the way I feel about like where I'm at right now is like, I have the job.
26:55I have great friends.
26:56I do have a place to live, even if it's with roommates, you know.
26:59But like, you know, it'd be nice to share that with someone.
27:01Like, yeah, more like no matter what, you know, they're there for you.
27:04Exactly.
27:04Like, there's no matter what, it's there.
27:06Yeah.
27:11Was life really that much better in the past?
27:14Andy thinks so.
27:15Your name?
27:16Andy.
27:17Nice to meet you, Andy.
27:17How are you?
27:18Thank God, I can't even remember the last time it was chatted up in a bar.
27:21I think that kind of world is fading over time.
27:24Like, people don't have that human connection in a bar where they'd probably go up.
27:27And I'd probably be the same.
27:28Like, you know, there's that bit of nervousness as well.
27:31A bit of tension.
27:32Yeah.
27:33Yeah, but that's, that's cool.
27:34That's cool.
27:35Something I know, ah, are you spotted?
27:36Okay, okay, let me take you there.
27:38Okay, you're eager to go, yeah.
27:40Someone who's kind of sporty or into the outdoors.
27:43Hi, how's it going?
27:44Hi, Brent.
27:44Nice to meet you.
27:45Hi, I'm Andy.
27:47How's it going?
27:47What are you on?
27:48The beer?
27:48Ah, the beer, yeah.
27:49Nervous?
27:50I'm all right, yeah.
27:51You?
27:52Yeah, what's that all doing?
27:53Oh, you're fine.
27:53Yeah, I'm quite relaxed, I'm chill.
27:55That's fine.
27:56Where are you from?
27:57I'm from Dublin, so I'm only living around the corner.
27:59Where are you from?
28:00Well, I live in Cork, but South African originally.
28:03Most of my life, I've been pretty much single,
28:05so I know myself really well.
28:07I also don't judge anyone or anything like that.
28:11I'm very open-minded.
28:12You're missing Cork Pride this weekend.
28:14I know, I know, I know.
28:15A lot of my friends are on that side.
28:17We normally do the parade, because we do the rugby team there,
28:20so we're part of the rugby team there.
28:22Yeah, they're called...
28:23Hallowans.
28:24Yes, I'm playing for Emerald Warriors.
28:27Are you?
28:27Yeah, I don't think fussy would be the right word.
28:30I think, yeah, it's just more so just waiting for that good connection.
28:34He's just got seven.
28:35He hasn't even got his drink yet.
28:36Yeah, it's on the way.
28:36Bring it to the table.
28:38He's like, you're just making that for you now.
28:42So, is this like your first date, or like, have you been on dates before?
28:46Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, this is my first date.
28:49Mm-hmm.
28:50However, there was one time, like, um, I asked someone on a date.
28:56Mm-hmm.
28:56I was like, I think you're really interesting.
28:58You're cool.
28:59I'd like to get to know you a little better.
29:00Can I take you out sometime?
29:01And she said, yeah.
29:02So, we went out, and it was all right.
29:05But afterwards, like, I was like, there's something wrong here.
29:08Mm-hmm.
29:08So, I asked on another, and she was like, yeah, but I was like, you do know what's a date?
29:13And she was like, what?
29:15Turns out, she had no idea.
29:17Oh, God.
29:19She thought we were just hanging out as mates.
29:21Oh, my God, no.
29:22So, paid for it and everything.
29:26What about you?
29:27Um, so, we, like, met over Instagram, and we started talking.
29:31And it was actually, it was going really good, and it was lovely.
29:34Met up a bit with him in person.
29:37He did not smell very good.
29:39And first, I texted my friend, and I was like, pretend to be my aunt, ring me.
29:43And she rang me, and she was like, Saoirse, you need to go to the hospital right now.
29:46Your dad's pacemaker's after breaking, and he's in the hospital.
29:49And I had it on full volumes that he could hear, and I was like, I'm so sorry, I have to go.
29:53So, I left and went home, and I was just like, oh, when I got home, I texted him, I was like,
29:58everything's fine now, you know, it's okay, just, I need a while.
30:02And then, we just never spoke again.
30:04Yeah.
30:06So, what are you looking for? Like, serious question.
30:13Um, I don't know.
30:15You don't know.
30:16I don't know.
30:17Like, you look for love, but you look for something serious.
30:20I'm fine with it.
30:21About four years ago, I had, like, a major surgery.
30:26I was only 18, ended up being cancer.
30:29Now, thankfully, I didn't have to get any treatment afterwards.
30:32It was just taken out, and it was grand.
30:34But it was an eight-pound tumour, so it was literally the size of a baby.
30:38You're completely not what I expected at all.
30:40What were you expecting?
30:42But better.
30:43I think I was expecting someone a bit more, like, suck up their arse.
30:46Yeah.
30:46I don't know why.
30:47No.
30:48Like, I'm so happy it's you now, because, like, I'm having such a good time.
30:51Yeah.
30:51No, I got a me-ectomy where they removed me from my arse a few years ago.
30:55Really?
30:56Yeah.
30:56Yeah.
30:58After that, then, it was just going out and drinking and the whole lot.
31:02So, I wasn't looking after myself.
31:04I didn't, I didn't care.
31:08Are you enjoying yourself?
31:09I'm going to love that.
31:10Are you sure?
31:11Again, I told you, I'm really shallow.
31:13If you were, if I didn't like you, like, I have to go to the bathroom for half an hour.
31:18I think maybe was that me trying to not think about it?
31:21And process it, whereas then when I actually did, and even getting emotional about it,
31:26and actually sitting and saying to my mum, I don't feel okay today.
31:33I normally don't like this, but let's do it, you know?
31:35Let's do it.
31:36Why not? Okay, right?
31:38That was disgusting.
31:41Do you think there's a bit of a spark?
31:43I'd like to think so.
31:44You're fine.
31:45It's okay.
31:46I would say, like, maybe I'm not as affectionate on a first date,
31:50but I kind of like that he was, like, very much, like, clear that he fancied me,
31:54and that made me fancy him more.
31:56How would you like to do this?
31:57Put it away.
31:57I'm Pam.
31:58Are you sure?
31:59Maybe I can take you for a drink later, if you're around.
32:04Maybe you want to see the raven table?
32:07Oh, hey, it's been a while.
32:08How are you?
32:09And thank you for dinner.
32:10Well, of course.
32:12Anytime.
32:12Oh, thank you.
32:13Would you like to see each other again romantically?
32:17Can I go first?
32:19Yes, 100%.
32:21Easy yes.
32:23You know, I think you're a lovely guy, and it was so great getting...
32:27I can't even fake it.
32:27Yeah, absolutely.
32:28No, totally.
32:29100%.
32:29No.
32:30I'm the worst actor.
32:31I was like, I'm kidding me.
32:33No, it's...
32:34Yes, absolutely.
32:35100%.
32:36No.
32:38No, as in yes.
32:39That was nice.
32:41It was your laugh.
32:43I knew immediately.
32:44I heard you laughing from the main podium, and I knew, like, oh, yeah.
32:49We should totally check out the raven table.
32:50Oh, I can't wait.
32:52We're going to the raven table next.
32:53Let's see if the raven table is available.
32:55Dog, you're supposed to get it on the other side.
32:57That's how this goes.
32:58I'm fine.
32:58Yeah, I'm fine.
33:03Do you have lipstick?
33:04You have lipstick all over you.
33:05Yeah, man.
33:06I'll get it for you.
33:11I'll get it for you.
33:19Thank God I put this thing on.
33:20Oh, yeah.
33:21I wasn't going to, but I saw you do it, and then I spilled there.
33:25It would have been gone all over.
33:26I wore a white T-shirt, and I was like, no.
33:28I was like, please do not let anything spill.
33:31So, do you live with your brother down in Cork?
33:32Do you kind of go?
33:33Yeah, yeah.
33:33Yeah, so you can see that.
33:35And yourself?
33:36I just bought a new house.
33:39Oh, nice.
33:39All of my main furniture couches and tables have all been donated.
33:43Oh, that's good, yeah.
33:44I've got all adverts and stuff like that.
33:46I'm the same.
33:47I bought a place, what, two years now ago?
33:50And it was rented when I bought it, so.
33:52It's like terrible furniture, but I just...
33:54Have you not changed anything?
33:57No.
33:59You know, we had like issues with money and stuff growing up
34:01when I was probably like 10, 11.
34:03So, I was always the kid that was at school who like, you know,
34:07who had like the bad food or didn't have food,
34:10or they call on the intercom and like,
34:12you haven't paid school fees?
34:13They're a bit more mean in South Africa, but stuff like that.
34:17I have these ambitions.
34:18I wake up one day, I'm like, you know what,
34:20I'm going to clean it off, but I never get to it.
34:23Oh, you know, no.
34:23Oh, I couldn't see it.
34:24I was at the back painting window sills last thing.
34:28Because now, even where I am financially secure,
34:30I'm still kind of like, can I buy a new couch, you know,
34:33stuff like that is really in my mind.
34:35It's like, should I?
34:36Do I really need it, you know?
34:37And my friends are like, so they'll come stay over it.
34:41And then they're like, sometimes they stay on the couch,
34:44and they're like, it's the worst couch in the world.
34:46It's killing my back.
34:47It's the worst.
34:48I'm just like, you know what, it's there anyway.
34:51And you want to date it.
34:52When you don't have a lot of money growing up,
34:54money becomes a very big part of your life, you know,
34:57just the thought of it, you know, it's just kind of like,
34:59even when you have it, you're scared, you're going to lose it.
35:01You're kind of thinking, okay, everyone's doing well,
35:03doing well, and then after a while, I'm thinking, okay,
35:06what about me, you know?
35:07We installed a new shower, but it was me and my brother
35:09that did it, so it's okay.
35:12You're going to get electrocuted like one day.
35:15I start liking someone, and then they start liking me a bit too much,
35:19and then I start getting quite claustrophobic,
35:21and I think that's because I've been single most of my life,
35:24but I'm working on it, so.
35:27I don't go to gym every day.
35:28I go like a couple times a week,
35:30and I go karate a couple times a week as well.
35:32You do karate?
35:33Yeah.
35:33That's cool.
35:34I'm decently successful.
35:36I'm not world-class.
35:38I did taekwondo.
35:39You did taekwondo?
35:40Yeah.
35:40Yeah?
35:41How long?
35:41Yeah.
35:41Um, I'd say about four years.
35:44Okay.
35:44Yeah, about four.
35:46Um, one of the biggest things that like put me off it
35:49was the fact that you just take your socks off.
35:51Yeah?
35:52Can't deal with it.
35:53Why not?
35:54It's gross.
35:55Why do you have your toes out?
35:57I sleep in my socks.
35:58I swim in my socks.
35:59Really?
36:00Yeah.
36:00In your socks?
36:01Yeah.
36:01Don't they get wet?
36:02I can't.
36:02Yeah, they do get wet.
36:03That's the point.
36:04So that you don't have to touch the floor.
36:07The only time I ever take off my socks is if I'm going to go shower
36:09or if I'm changing them in the morning or evening.
36:13I can't do it.
36:15Okay.
36:15Yeah.
36:16All right.
36:18You know what?
36:19Let's just...
36:19Let's not.
36:20Let's skip that.
36:21Let's just hop over that.
36:23Over that, yeah.
36:24We're just gonna, yeah, leap that mountain.
36:26Yeah, it's just fine.
36:27The last two years in Venice, New York, Paris, Athens, London, Amsterdam, and Edinburgh.
36:35Yeah.
36:36And that's all by yourself?
36:38Yeah, yeah.
36:38By yourself.
36:40By yourself, yeah.
36:40Wow.
36:41So then I went to New York because I always wanted to see a bunch of Broadway shows.
36:44Yeah.
36:45Oh, fab.
36:46What did you see?
36:46I've seen Hadestown, Hamilton.
36:49When I was a teenager, I was like absolute shut-in.
36:52Went to school, hid in the corner, tried to read my books just hoping no one
36:56talked to me.
36:57Go home, walk my dogs, go to bed just over and over.
36:59Sorry, I think that's my one actually.
37:01Oh, I have.
37:02It actually looks like you have more to me.
37:03I was there.
37:04Thank you so much.
37:05Thank you so much.
37:06Not at all.
37:07There's no point like trying to be extra like nice and special.
37:10I don't really wear makeup like usually.
37:12Like even now, I'm like, oh God, like he's not really seeing me for me.
37:16This was on top of the bundle.
37:18Yep, this will be fine.
37:18You look gorgeous.
37:20So do you.
37:20Fabulous.
37:22When you're like solo traveling around the world,
37:24there'll be people all over the place just starting conversations,
37:27making friends.
37:27You kind of just like, most people are nice, nice.
37:30It'll be grand.
37:31They're not my usual type.
37:33Mm-hmm.
37:33But I don't really have like a usual type.
37:36I kind of go off personality.
37:37Well, if I'm, if you don't have a usual type,
37:39how do you know I'm not your usual type?
37:41That's true.
37:41You've caught me out there.
37:43I'm the trendsetter.
37:43I'm going to be your type.
37:44Oh, okay then, okay.
37:47I don't get nervous or anything unless like I really fancy them.
37:51The one I probably had the most fun in was Amsterdam.
37:54Because, I don't know what you're implying.
37:57Is it because?
37:58No, it's not true.
37:59I am a good Catholic, but I don't know what you're implying.
38:03I was going to say because I found a karaoke bar and they felt, yeah.
38:07Did you?
38:07Only she was only in Amsterdam.
38:09I'd love to do karaoke in Amsterdam.
38:10It was, it was great.
38:12I went in there like literally every night after I found it.
38:14And by the end, they were like more, they were like advertising me.
38:17They were like giving me drinks or they opened the door like,
38:19come in, look at this dude.
38:20He won't stop fucking singing.
38:21He's been there for six hours.
38:23I feel like I'm, I'm able to kind of like get my own kind of like stories,
38:26but I'd like someone to like hang out with and bounce off of.
38:29And there's only like so much fun you can get when you're only entertaining yourself.
38:34Can you sing though?
38:35Or is it just that you're having fun?
38:36Can I sing?
38:39Can I sing, Katie?
38:42I'm sorry.
38:43Did I underestimate you?
38:44I mean, how well can you sing?
38:46Look, I don't like the brag.
38:48Again, very modest.
38:49Of course.
38:50I am the most beautiful singer in all of the history of singing ever.
38:54Are you?
38:55Literally, it's the best.
38:56What's your like go-to song for karaoke?
38:58I think something by ABBA, like Waterman.
39:00Mm-hmm, hello, couldn't escape if I wanted to.
39:05Yeah, it's got to be a crowd pleaser, you know?
39:06How about you?
39:07Sweet Caroline.
39:09Oh yeah.
39:09I know, a bit cliche, but I'm telling you, when you're in a room full of people,
39:14you've got to pick one that people know the words too, so they can join in and sing along.
39:17And you're not left alone singing.
39:19You were in Australia or something?
39:21I was.
39:21You were in Australia?
39:22Yeah.
39:22What were you doing there?
39:24I was living there for a while, so I was doing my farming.
39:26Farming?
39:26Yeah, like I lived on a farm for about five months.
39:30I would have been 25 and just had the best time and ended up in Sydney.
39:36And so like I donated sperm in Australia, and like I have...
39:40You have like 16 children?
39:41Not 16.
39:42I was very surprised that like someone even took up the offer of my sperm.
39:48But on the one where the first update, there was five children.
39:52I think there's seven at the moment.
39:54Seven?
39:54Yeah, there's going to be eight.
39:56Oh, that's really...
39:57And you know them like...
39:58Oh no, like no contact whatsoever.
40:00But they just tell you, all right, your sperm's done well now.
40:02They can only be used by like four families,
40:04and those four families can only have three children each.
40:08It's a drawn line, I'm not a father, I'm a sperm donor, and that's it.
40:12Did you get good money for this at least?
40:14No, I didn't get paid for it.
40:15What?
40:16No.
40:17I thought you were like, I was just, you were like traveling around Australia,
40:20like dude, I need some money.
40:22You were just, why'd you do it?
40:23You were just like, sure, look, I'll do a bit of fun.
40:26I may not never use my own sperm to have my own biological children.
40:29So being able to give that to somebody else, and give someone else the opportunity to have
40:35a family, was just something selfless that I kind of couldn't pass by.
40:41Because I've seen so many of my friends struggle through IVF,
40:45that I was like, I'm part of somebody else's journey now.
40:48Yeah, exactly.
40:50I watched a documentary on Netflix, The Man With A Thousand Kids,
40:54scared the living life out of me.
40:56So I had to reach out to them and find out what, like, if there wasn't any updates.
41:00So they've said that there's a further two kids, but at least it's contained.
41:05It can't go very much further.
41:09One day they'll be knocking on your door.
41:11Well, if they're out like me, I think they'd be a bit curious and they'd want to find out.
41:14Oh yeah, but they're not allowed to, are they?
41:16They are when they're 18.
41:18But then your vintage house will be amazing.
41:21It'll be like, you can come and they can see your vintage house.
41:24They'll be like, how is my daddy?
41:26And it's like, oh yeah, he bought a vintage house.
41:30I think if someone was calling me daddy, I'd be like, no.
41:38It was good though.
41:40Yeah, it was fun.
41:41I enjoyed it.
41:41Yeah.
41:42What went through your head, Ben, when you saw your date for the first time?
41:45I was like, whoa.
41:48Hello.
41:49How are you?
41:50And she was very funny, had a great personality.
41:53I'm just going to pop this here.
41:54Perfect.
41:55I'd say we got on pretty well, I hope.
41:58Let's have a look here.
42:00I'll get it.
42:01Are you sure?
42:02Yeah.
42:03Do you think she fancied you?
42:05I'm terrible at knowing.
42:06I think so.
42:07Like, she was laughing a decent amount.
42:09Have cash if you need.
42:10No, I'm not.
42:12Promise you're shivering.
42:13It's the chivalrous thing to do, you know what I mean?
42:14Okay, thank you so much.
42:16I really do appreciate that.
42:17No bother.
42:18Is there any way the date could have been any better?
42:21Probably if we kissed.
42:23How was everything for you both?
42:24It was lovely.
42:25Yeah?
42:26Thank you so much.
42:31I'm nervous now.
42:35Would you like to see each other again romantically?
42:40Yes.
42:41You're really nice, and it was really, really sweet.
42:45And I appreciate you paying for everything, and it was really lovely,
42:48but I just don't think there's anything there to explore.
42:50All right.
42:52I'm sorry.
42:53It's all right.
42:54Okay.
42:54It's how it is.
42:55Thank you both so much for coming.
42:56Thank you so much.
42:58He's a really, really lovely person, and, like, it was still a lovely date,
43:02and I really enjoyed it, and I enjoyed his company, but just not in a romantic sense.
43:06Bye.
43:19What are you thinking?
43:21Don't think that much.
43:21You don't have to think about what you're thinking.
43:24Yeah.
43:24What am I thinking?
43:25What am I thinking?
43:25That's, like, the hardest question, because I wasn't thinking.
43:28Now, what the tink is on the tink of?
43:29We were just looking at me, because it's not me.
43:30I know.
43:30I was just in rapture.
43:32I'm sorry.
43:32That's okay.
43:33That's okay, too.
43:34I was composing poetry for you, and then you ruined it.
43:41I'm just going to pop this down, and then I'm so sorry.
43:45We have a little thing we'd love you to do.
43:46Sure.
43:48Oh, okay.
43:48Are you ready?
43:52Here, you can get up.
43:53Here's the words.
43:54You're going to have to join them.
43:55The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay.
44:01You cry, give me a tea when you hurl in the sea when you see me go by.
44:09Why so sad?
44:11He was telling me he loved karaoke.
44:14I love karaoke, too.
44:15He was like, no, but I can actually sing.
44:17And I was like, yeah, okay, sure.
44:20No, he can sing, like.
44:22You'll be back, time will tell.
44:26You'll remember I said you well.
44:30He has so much confidence.
44:31It's so carefree.
44:32I love it.
44:33It's amazing.
44:34I wouldn't say either of us are shy.
44:45We're both high-energy people, both very chatty, very, like, back and forth, very...
44:50He knows exactly what he wants, but in such a nice and friendly and funny way.
45:03He's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met, but, like, he just holds himself so well.
45:09I told you I'm a good singer.
45:10I told you we're a liar, Rachel.
45:12I told you we're a liar.
45:13You know.
45:14Absolutely amazing.
45:16Thank you so much.
45:17That was amazing.
45:18Oh, my God.
45:19The laughing's a good sign.
45:21I didn't, like, catch any, like, awkward, uncomfortable moments.
45:24You seem to be, like, having a good time.
45:25Oh, my God.
45:27That was amazing.
45:36Thank you so much.
45:36You're welcome.
45:38Cheers.
45:38I say you're going to be a perfect match.
45:42The whole story with the whole sperm donor thing was good.
45:46Trying to help other people.
45:47I quite like that.
45:48So that's actually really nice.
45:49That's kind of hot, to be fair, but...
45:51I was trying to get him to pay for it all, but he's...
45:53He said no.
45:54Rightly so.
45:58He's real bubbly.
45:59Really easy to get along with us.
46:00Good chats.
46:02Good banter.
46:02Yeah, he's a big...
46:05Would you guys like to see each other again?
46:08I don't know.
46:09I liked you, but I don't know if it's romantic.
46:11It's more like friendship.
46:12I don't know.
46:13Yeah, I'm kind of thinking the same thing.
46:15Okay, that's good.
46:16Yeah, we had a really good chat and really good banter.
46:18Yeah.
46:18Yeah, maybe not on the romantic level.
46:20Yeah.
46:21Yeah, that's good.
46:22Thank God.
46:23I think we'd have a lot to get on with.
46:26Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
46:28Like friendship, right?
46:30Do you want to go for a point?
46:31Yeah, we could do that.
46:32Yeah, great.
46:32I think I might just have a beard.
46:34What about you?
46:34I'm going to Howard or Guinness.
46:36Like, they do go Guinness.
46:36Guinness, yeah.
46:37For another point-style martini, huh?
46:43That was excellent.
46:44Thank you so much.
46:47Would you like to see each other again romantically?
46:50If you're going to say no, you have to go first.
46:52That way I have plausible good ability.
46:54No, you have to go first.
46:55You have to be a gentleman.
46:56Yeah, sure.
46:56I suppose I would, yeah.
46:58Do you suppose you would or you would?
47:00I'm being kind of a middle.
47:01All right.
47:02No, I definitely would as well.
47:04Yeah.
47:04Yeah?
47:05Yeah.
47:08That was so good.
47:09I had so much fun.
47:11It was a bit of a relief, isn't it?
47:12I mean, I knew you were going to say yes.
47:13Did you?
47:15Yeah.
47:16No, you didn't.
47:16You weren't sure of it.
47:18Yeah, I'm always sure.
47:19I'm unflappable.
47:20I know everything.
47:22Do you fancy each other?
47:24Yeah.
47:24Yeah.
47:25After I sing, how could you not?
47:28Don't step on the cracks.
47:29You'll break your manners back.
47:30Those are the rules.
47:31Should we have to get you, like, to do a musical, so...
47:33Oh, of course.
47:34I want to see Wicked.
47:35Okay, yeah, there we go.
47:36So I'll do a musical.
47:37What would your duet song be, do you think?
47:40Something from Grease.
47:41I was literally just about to say Grease.
47:43Like...
47:53I got chills, they're multiplying.
47:57I don't know how you live without me now.
48:06I know exactly.
48:07I don't even remember.
48:08Exactly.
48:09You better shape up, because I need a man.
48:17My heart is set on you.
48:21You better shape up, you better understand.
48:24To my heart I'm...
48:27It's very funny.
48:28Yeah, I think it's the same.
48:30It's just his humour.
48:31Like, I didn't stop laughing the whole time.
48:33And you didn't eat.
48:34I know.
48:35Because you're so flackers.
48:36No, I can't have time.
48:37I'm just really talking.
48:38Exactly.
48:39Exactly.
48:39I'm just the one that I want.
48:42Come on, come on.
48:43Come on, come on.
48:45Come on and eat.
48:47Come on, come on, come on.
48:49I'm really like the devil in the sink.
48:52So you're a really small man.
48:54Oh, God.
48:56Do you want to get me drunk?
48:57No, not yet.
48:58I'm a doctor.
49:00Oh, good.
49:01I did six fingers on bottoms this week.
