00:02:05Actually, I'll have again a zero.
00:02:07Oh, thank you.
00:02:09Why can't we give up that one more?
00:02:11Goodbye, beer pressure.
00:02:13Hello, zero.
00:02:18Welcome to VHI.
00:02:19Healthcare's done differently here.
00:02:21It's not just about connecting with you, but with each other.
00:02:25Pediatricians and specialists and nurses who all work here.
00:02:28We're all on the same page.
00:02:30Yours.
00:02:32Our own clinicians and our own clinics.
00:02:35Making progress.
00:02:37Yes, Kira.
00:02:39You're part of a wider healthcare network.
00:02:42That takes a wider view of your health.
00:02:49Welcome to VHI.
00:02:58Welcome to VHI.
00:03:07Player.
00:03:08Now, First Dates.
00:03:12So, would you like to see each other again?
00:03:14You go first.
00:03:16Oh, yeah.
00:03:17Definitely not.
00:03:18For a mortgage journey with a dedicated mortgage person, chat to EBS.
00:03:24This romance is the first date's restaurant.
00:03:28And we're back.
00:03:29Finally.
00:03:31A place where anything...
00:03:34Garçon.
00:03:36Okay.
00:03:37Breathe.
00:03:38...is possible.
00:03:39But you pique my interest.
00:03:41There's two of them.
00:03:42There's two of them.
00:03:43No, nobody's losing their cool.
00:03:45An instant attraction.
00:03:48Your gorgeous eyes.
00:03:49Stop it.
00:03:52A match made in heaven.
00:03:54Oh, you cheat.
00:03:55I'm a big fan of your parents' work.
00:03:58Or a sudden shock to the senses.
00:04:00Oh, score.
00:04:03None of these daters know what to expect.
00:04:06I'm in a village hall.
00:04:08Muff.
00:04:09What?
00:04:11What happens next...
00:04:16Is up to them.
00:04:18Cupid.
00:04:19Would you like to see each other again romantically?
00:04:23Three, two, one.
00:04:25Yes.
00:04:26Are you kidding?
00:04:27Yes.
00:04:35Style, class, and good looks.
00:04:38Moss, Moss, as all three, in a range of matching colours.
00:04:43Clothes and appearance are important to me.
00:04:44I like to feel good and know that I'm put together.
00:04:48I like to wear kind of blue, beige, white,
00:04:53but I look very good in black as well.
00:04:56Do you get chatted up?
00:04:58Yeah, I do.
00:04:59It's usually by a lot older people, though.
00:05:02The most random places, like not in a night out in the George or something,
00:05:06it'll be, like, in super value.
00:05:10It's cringy to say, but it'd be nice to have someone to cuddle up with on the couch.
00:05:18How are you?
00:05:19How are you, buddy?
00:05:20Where are you coming from?
00:05:22I grew up in Wicklow.
00:05:23I don't sound it, but I am actually fairly agricultural.
00:05:26I grew up in a small village in the mountains.
00:05:28Everybody knows, yeah?
00:05:29You're going to be the top of the village, yeah?
00:05:31Jesus, yeah, probably.
00:05:32And then I went to secondary in South Dublin,
00:05:36and I gained this lovely, someone would say stuck-up or posh accent.
00:05:39Would you like a drink?
00:05:41I would love a drink.
00:05:43I'm going to say you're, like, a porn star martini kind of guy.
00:05:47Yes, actually.
00:05:48It's a gift.
00:05:49I can be guarded around people I don't know,
00:05:51but get a drink, kind of sharpish, and then all nerves gone.
00:05:56I'm just recently back to Ireland, actually.
00:05:58I've been living in Luxembourg for the past year.
00:06:00Oh, very nice.
00:06:02I study international hotel management,
00:06:04and I've just come back from my second year placement,
00:06:07which was in a very nice hotel.
00:06:10And what is your usual height?
00:06:12Um, tall.
00:06:14I've never gone on a date with someone the same height or taller than me.
00:06:18I'm 6'3".
00:06:19Jesus, that's tall.
00:06:21I don't want to be walking around with a stepladder.
00:06:30Hiya.
00:06:32They tried to put me on the cover of Vogue,
00:06:35but my legs were too long.
00:06:39Every day is leg day.
00:06:41You might be wondering why Ian is even here.
00:06:44He's already found the greatest love of all.
00:06:47I think I'm handsome.
00:06:48Other people might not agree, which is absolutely fine.
00:06:50Everyone is so entitled to their own views.
00:06:52But, like, I love myself,
00:06:54and if I can't love myself,
00:06:55how am I expected to look to someone else.
00:07:00A good sense of style was nice,
00:07:02but, like, style can always be fixed.
00:07:07Bit of a diva.
00:07:08I've been called out a few times.
00:07:10Whether it's true or not, who knows.
00:07:13Now, hello.
00:07:14How are you?
00:07:15Mr. Smiley.
00:07:18A little bit nervous.
00:07:19I think I'm more excited than nervous.
00:07:20Your date is at the bar.
00:07:21I don't know where the Russian castle is.
00:07:24I may as well say hello.
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:26I would really, really like if a certain someone was able to talk.
00:07:30Like, I don't have to force conversation out of them.
00:07:33Good-looking would also be a perk, I suppose.
00:07:35Maybe a bit tall.
00:07:37Hello, hello.
00:07:37Hello.
00:07:38Pleasure to meet you.
00:07:39Pleasure to meet you.
00:07:40I'm good.
00:07:41I'm good.
00:07:41I'm good.
00:07:41What's your name?
00:07:42Moss.
00:07:43And you?
00:07:43Moss, Ian.
00:07:44Ian, lovely to meet you.
00:07:44Pleasure to meet you.
00:07:46Are you taller than me?
00:07:47No, I think you're taller than me.
00:07:49You are taller than me.
00:07:50Your hair makes you taller than your hair.
00:07:52I'll take that.
00:07:53I'll take that.
00:07:54It doesn't matter, like, how someone looks.
00:07:57If I can tell they're intelligent, that's really attractive.
00:08:00Are you in college?
00:08:01I'm in college at the moment, yeah.
00:08:02I do biomedical science.
00:08:04Oh, very good.
00:08:05Where are you?
00:08:05ATU, Sligo.
00:08:06Oh, my gosh.
00:08:08You're in the back arsenal.
00:08:09Yeah, I am in the back arsenal.
00:08:11You in college?
00:08:12I am.
00:08:13I'm studying in Shannon College.
00:08:16Oh, also the other side of the country.
00:08:18Yeah, I'm in the back arsenal, like you.
00:08:26These days, some people are retiring at 70.
00:08:29Now we're going to step to the side, arms outside.
00:08:33Not Bernie.
00:08:34She's not retiring at all.
00:08:36It's strange saying that age, because I don't feel it.
00:08:38I don't act it.
00:08:42I've been a bit nervous of meeting somebody at the first time, but I'd also be excited.
00:08:46It's an adventure.
00:08:47It's an experience at my age.
00:08:49It's great.
00:08:51Do I open the door?
00:08:55If somebody says, no, I don't want to meet you again, I'll just say, hard luck.
00:09:01And where are you from?
00:09:02I'm from Dublin.
00:09:03Oh, yeah.
00:09:04I'm living in mead now.
00:09:05Okay.
00:09:06So I think it's officially a dulci.
00:09:08What?
00:09:11Oh, God.
00:09:12I just think I'm a bit of fun.
00:09:13I'm lively and I'm energetic.
00:09:16I teach Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
00:09:19Can you give me some Tai Chi moves?
00:09:21Get your hands together.
00:09:22You want to feel the energy, right?
00:09:23Okay.
00:09:24Qi Gong and Tai Chi is energy work.
00:09:27It absolutely got me through COVID.
00:09:29I can actually feel in my hand.
00:09:31Every time Leo Varadkar mentioned another six weeks, you know, you're living on your own.
00:09:35You're kind of going, oh, no.
00:09:37But I'd go into the kitchen and I'd do my Tai Chi and everything slows down.
00:09:42Come here to me.
00:09:43What are you looking for?
00:09:44A man.
00:09:44A man.
00:09:46I hope he's not AI.
00:09:49You can tell that I haven't had romance in a long, long time.
00:09:53I thought it was very hard to know because I particularly wasn't.
00:09:55I'd given up.
00:09:56I'd literally given up.
00:09:58I think a kind, kind-hearted man is nice.
00:10:01But you don't want a saint because I can be very bold.
00:10:12Enter Jerry.
00:10:15Immaculately attired, but still looking for something to tie it all together.
00:10:19Love, I think it's the greatest feeling in the world.
00:10:22Hard to match.
00:10:25I can manage on my own, but at the same time, you do need love.
00:10:29You do need companionship.
00:10:32What do you go for physically in a woman?
00:10:34Not too small, obviously not too tall.
00:10:37I haven't got the right words to say good cleavage, however you say.
00:10:40You're a boot man.
00:10:42Yes, absolutely.
00:10:44Hey, Jerry.
00:10:46Jerry, nice to meet you.
00:10:47Pleasure.
00:10:47Ladies over here.
00:10:48Yes.
00:10:49Oh, good.
00:10:49Ladies first.
00:10:51Do you find the dating landscape has changed a lot?
00:10:54Oh, God, yeah.
00:10:56Obviously, I've changed by a few decades.
00:10:58It's a very different animal altogether.
00:11:00It's a very different animal.
00:11:01Hello.
00:11:02Hello.
00:11:03Hello.
00:11:03How are you?
00:11:04How are you?
00:11:04How are you?
00:11:04How are you feeling?
00:11:06Nervous.
00:11:07It's the word of the day, really, isn't it?
00:11:09Easy, isn't it?
00:11:09All that wine wouldn't cool it down, really.
00:11:12I swear.
00:11:13But you're looking, we're here.
00:11:14We're here for a laugh and, you know, whatever.
00:11:16And a joy.
00:11:17Yeah, just amazing, yeah.
00:11:18Where are you from?
00:11:19Mead.
00:11:20Tara, can't you mead?
00:11:21Oh, right, I'm living in mead.
00:11:23Yeah, you're a neighbour already.
00:11:24Oh, my God.
00:11:25Do you want a drink?
00:11:26Yeah, give me a little water, please.
00:11:28Water, yeah.
00:11:28Thank you, thank you.
00:11:30You don't have the ability in it.
00:11:31I do, I do, I do occasionally, yeah.
00:11:33But, er, what's it behave?
00:11:43I can't hack wine.
00:11:44Can't hack wine?
00:11:44I can't hack it.
00:11:45Darling, I can't.
00:11:47Are you a wine person?
00:11:48OK, so, I'm a wine person because we have to study wine as part of my course.
00:11:52Really?
00:11:53Yeah.
00:11:53Oh, no, I can't.
00:11:54I actually can't.
00:11:55I wish I could.
00:11:56But if you're drinking nice wine.
00:11:58I don't mean petrol station spec.
00:12:00No, I don't want to.
00:12:01Look at that.
00:12:02I think humour is a really, really important thing in a person because it's just a really
00:12:06good way to get along with someone.
00:12:08Oh, lovely, look at that.
00:12:09Especially if they're not too sensitive.
00:12:12Have you been on many of these before?
00:12:14Five or six maybe in Dublin.
00:12:16Oh, OK.
00:12:17I had a situation for a while with a lawyer.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:20Yeah, that was kind of like two months or so.
00:12:22And it just didn't work out?
00:12:24No, I realised I could do better.
00:12:28OK.
00:12:29OK.
00:12:29I'm not the lawyer thing.
00:12:30Personality and stuff.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:32I would hope so.
00:12:34You.
00:12:35What?
00:12:37Have you ever been on a date before?
00:12:38Mm.
00:12:39You have?
00:12:40Oh my God, yeah.
00:12:41What are the dates?
00:12:41Like, drink dates?
00:12:42Dinner dates?
00:12:43No, I've been on, like, breakfast dates.
00:12:45Like, when I work.
00:12:46That's clever, actually, because you have to go and do shit for the rest of your day.
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:50I'm very driven, so I kind of would like someone who's actually, like, has their kind of stuff
00:12:55together.
00:12:55There was this one guy, we went on, like, a few breakfast dates.
00:12:58I didn't really like him, so I just left him on open on Snapchat.
00:13:01And then...
00:13:01You like to ghost people?
00:13:03No.
00:13:04Like, he didn't really do anything with himself.
00:13:06I'm like...
00:13:06That's kind of like a turn up for me as well.
00:13:09Like, he did nothing.
00:13:10Kind of like a waste.
00:13:11Like, he was a waster, yeah.
00:13:13Someone who's not ambitious, doesn't have goals, or doesn't have a desire to set goals,
00:13:18I find that really unattractive.
00:13:20Yeah.
00:13:21We love someone who puts in the effort.
00:13:22Yeah.
00:13:22It's amazing.
00:13:29This is nice.
00:13:31Good choice.
00:13:31Nice restaurant.
00:13:34Well done.
00:13:35It is well done, wasn't it?
00:13:36It is well, didn't it?
00:13:37And pink is beautiful.
00:13:38Fantastic.
00:13:39Thank you very much.
00:13:40Very becoming, indeed.
00:13:42For me, it really is when you meet somebody, it's about the personality, isn't it?
00:13:46You can say somebody's very handsome, but after a while, you don't notice that.
00:13:52And how did you end up in Meath?
00:13:54Life, I suppose.
00:13:57Married at 23.
00:13:58We had a child at 24.
00:14:00It was a good marriage.
00:14:01I think we just grew apart.
00:14:03Divorced, and I'd met somebody, and we'd...
00:14:05Well, I didn't meet somebody.
00:14:07I knew him for 30 years.
00:14:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:10And we ended up together, and he had a house down there.
00:14:13And three years later, he died of cancer.
00:14:16No.
00:14:16Oh, I like it.
00:14:17That was 18 years ago.
00:14:19Oh, gosh.
00:14:2018 years.
00:14:21Sorry to hear that, yes.
00:14:23What about yourself?
00:14:25Divorced from a lovely lady.
00:14:27I was married for about 10 years.
00:14:29I'm not now for the last 17-ish years.
00:14:33We're on good terms.
00:14:35That's good.
00:14:35She has to be.
00:14:36That's good.
00:14:37I'm the same, yeah.
00:14:37It's not always easy, but it's a blessing, isn't it?
00:14:39Yeah, yeah.
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:40I'm kind of a conundrum, because while I say I'm happily unmarried simultaneously,
00:14:46I'm looking for love.
00:14:48And have your children?
00:14:49No.
00:14:49No, I never had, thank God.
00:14:51Mm.
00:14:52I just say thank God in a callous way.
00:14:55Yeah, why are you to say that?
00:14:56Because I never want them.
00:14:58Really?
00:14:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:00I might be too hedonistic or just short of commitment a bit, if I'm honest.
00:15:07And I'm here to be honest.
00:15:09Whether I ever come to regret that or not, I can't be sure.
00:15:13Well, you're probably regretted now.
00:15:16Yeah.
00:15:17Yeah, yeah.
00:15:18So I think at this stage, I'm content with that.
00:15:21Mm.
00:15:21I don't know why I get ungrateful children, you know?
00:15:25So that's the inner child, isn't it?
00:15:27Yes.
00:15:28It's most important.
00:15:29It's most important.
00:15:30Yeah.
00:15:30It really, really is.
00:15:32Sounds like the inner child hasn't left you.
00:15:34No.
00:15:35No, absolutely.
00:15:35Okay.
00:15:44In the game of love, it's probably wise to let Leah make the first move.
00:15:50I'm one of those people that if I think someone is attractive, I would not wait for them to
00:15:54come up to me.
00:15:55I would more than likely go up and be like, hi, you are gorgeous.
00:15:58Can I get your number?
00:16:01But then, there's been a couple of times in my clothes where some fellows come up to
00:16:05me and, hey, girl, how's it going?
00:16:06Like, fuck.
00:16:07You know what I mean?
00:16:08Like, straight up and simple.
00:16:11But yeah, strong, independent woman.
00:16:13You don't need no man.
00:16:14But, I mean, if the right one comes along, don't push them away.
00:16:19Well, hello.
00:16:21Hello.
00:16:21Hello, you.
00:16:21Where are you from, Leah?
00:16:22I'm from Airtane in Dublin, Northside.
00:16:24I know.
00:16:25You're Dublin.
00:16:25What does it matter, what side?
00:16:26You're Dublin.
00:16:27I know, I know.
00:16:27Come on.
00:16:29I'd like someone that can have a bit of banter with me.
00:16:31My mom loves you.
00:16:33I have to say that.
00:16:34Say hello to mama for me.
00:16:36Of course.
00:16:36Hi.
00:16:37How are you?
00:16:38I'm pretty good at flirting.
00:16:41Spontaneous.
00:16:41Bubbly.
00:16:43And I could literally talk to absolutely anybody.
00:16:46So, what's your type?
00:16:47Oh.
00:16:49God, you should see the men that I've gone out with before.
00:16:51Oof.
00:16:53Sorry, that's actually horrible.
00:16:56I've heard it from other people, not me.
00:16:58I'm getting references.
00:16:59I'm pulling quotes here.
00:17:01As long as you can get along with me, I'm like, fabulous.
00:17:04You know what I mean?
00:17:05I have, like, weird little niches.
00:17:07Love the mullet-moustache combo.
00:17:09A lot of people would say it's a red flag.
00:17:11Far of me to green one.
00:17:13Very, very green.
00:17:21Well, how are you?
00:17:23It's all business in the front, but there's a party in the back.
00:17:26When I'm mullet-shay, it gives all the girls a heart attack.
00:17:30Do the mullet-shay.
00:17:31Jake's mullet sure is the business.
00:17:33But the party ain't limited to the back.
00:17:36How do you get ready for a date?
00:17:38To get ready like this.
00:17:39Oh, I've got a sign on my fucking jumper.
00:17:42I'm great.
00:17:46I shower.
00:17:47Deodorant, hopefully.
00:17:48Get changed and clean clothes out the door.
00:17:52I'm not picky on looks at all.
00:17:54There's a lot of beautiful women out there in the world.
00:17:57I like a girl that's hot-headed.
00:17:58One that'll sit you down and shout at you and be like,
00:18:01you're a dumbass.
00:18:03Is that not a man?
00:18:05Jesus Christ.
00:18:06It sounds like that, doesn't it?
00:18:08Oh, no.
00:18:09Mullet-moustache is looking for his man.
00:18:12How is everything, Jake?
00:18:13Surviving and thriving.
00:18:15A little nervous, bud.
00:18:16What is love, Jake?
00:18:18Can you describe it for me?
00:18:19I don't think I can.
00:18:20Because I think I've fallen in love with every girl I've ever met.
00:18:24I think I'll know what love is when I find it.
00:18:27Hi.
00:18:27Nice to meet you.
00:18:28Nice to meet you.
00:18:31So, what's your favourite colour?
00:18:32Oh, fuck off.
00:18:36You're laughing so near you when you haven't screwed it, yeah.
00:18:39Not yet, but we'll see.
00:18:42When it comes to me being myself, that can be kind of terrifying.
00:18:46Because, like, maybe they don't like someone that's quite outspoken or confident.
00:18:50What are you drinking?
00:18:50I'm drinking a gin and tonic.
00:18:52May I copy her, please?
00:18:54Absolutely.
00:18:55Yes, you should.
00:18:57Sorry, sorry, no.
00:18:59I feel more intimidated.
00:19:01I'm slightly erased at the same time.
00:19:03That's terrible.
00:19:04A bit of both.
00:19:05Yeah, I don't know how to feel anymore.
00:19:06That's a good way to be at the start of a date.
00:19:09So, do we just slag this off, get the wedding planned, and what's going on?
00:19:13I'm, like, on one knee right now. You're done.
00:19:15If you say so.
00:19:22So, will you see each other again?
00:19:24Start up.

00:23:08For a mortgage journey with a dedicated mortgage person, chat to EBS.
00:23:16Come here after.
00:23:18Oh, God.
00:23:20This is very formal compared to sitting at a bar.
00:23:22I was going to say, I've never done a blind date.
00:23:25Have you ever done one before?
00:23:26No.
00:23:27Blind date is really scary.
00:23:29So, you know, just getting to know someone, especially when it's not past 10 o'clock.
00:23:34And you're already a few beers in with, like, a bit of liquid confidence.
00:23:38No, but I've never done, like, a sit-down, like, dinner date.
00:23:41Unless I've been in, like, a long-term relationship.
00:23:43I've never done, like, a...
00:23:44You've been in a long-term relationship?
00:23:46Yeah.
00:23:47How many years?
00:23:48Three.
00:23:49The last guy I've seen, we said I love you after three days, and we were together for a year
00:23:54and a half.
00:23:55And I realised that I kind of had to find myself a little bit more, which is what I've been
00:23:58doing.
00:24:00I've been single now a year and a half.
00:24:03I'm glad, because now I do know what I'm looking for.
00:24:07Are you, like, vegetarian or vegan?
00:24:09No.
00:24:09You're not, are you?
00:24:10No.
00:24:11I don't want to say it to you, just in case.
00:24:13In case they get us.
00:24:14They'll get us online later.
00:24:16Now.
00:24:17Oh.
00:24:17Hello.
00:24:19Apologies.
00:24:19Is that noise because you haven't looked at the renders?
00:24:22She did.
00:24:22She looked at the menu for both of us.
00:24:24She told us she knew what she was going to order.
00:24:25I'm not quite sure.
00:24:26Oh.
00:24:27Uh-uh.
00:24:28Uh-uh.
00:24:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:29Go on.
00:24:30Oh, I hate you.
00:24:31I hate you, too.
00:24:31You've got this.
00:24:32You're an accomplice in this.
00:24:33I am.
00:24:34So, could I get the steak, please, for mates?
00:24:37How would you like it cooked?
00:24:38Uh, medium, please.
00:24:40And what would you like for his mates?
00:24:41Oh, okay.
00:24:46You're also a steak person?
00:24:48Or a burger?
00:24:49No, don't do that to me.
00:24:50No, don't do that to me.
00:24:55Burger.
00:24:56Burger.
00:24:57Thank you so, so much.
00:24:59No problem at all.
00:25:00Good luck.
00:25:06Did you do language in second year?
00:25:08I did German from first to third year.
00:25:11Okay.
00:25:11And then I went to boarding school for fifth year and sixth year.
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:15I loved boarding school.
00:25:16If I could redo it all again, I would.
00:25:18Did you come home on the weekends or did you stay down?
00:25:20No.
00:25:20I remember going into boarding school.
00:25:22I was small.
00:25:23I was quite thin.
00:25:25And I came out much taller, much broader, much more independent.
00:25:29Do you have a big family?
00:25:31Uh, immediate family, no.
00:25:34Okay.
00:25:34Immediately, like, it's just my dad, my brother and myself.
00:25:37Oh, really?
00:25:38Because my mom's passed.
00:25:39Oh, really?
00:25:40Yeah.
00:25:41That's pretty hard.
00:25:44She passed away in 2018 from cancer.
00:25:47I, it was a week or two before I started first year of secondary school.
00:25:53Couldn't need that drink.
00:25:55Fucking hell.
00:25:55Sorry.
00:25:56I know.
00:25:57It's fine.
00:25:57Like, I think she'd be very proud of what, like, I've become.
00:26:03My dad, he took the role of a mother and a father at the same time, which would not have
00:26:09been easy for him, but he did it.
00:26:11He raised two sons.
00:26:12He's a great father.
00:26:14And what do you think he'll think about this?
00:26:16Yes.
00:26:17Well, he doesn't know about it yet.
00:26:18It is his favorite TV show.
00:26:20So, the plan is when this airs, I'm going to sit with him and put it on.
00:26:23What?
00:26:24I know for a fact.
00:26:25He will love it.
00:26:34Chips look nice.
00:26:35Can I taste one?
00:26:36I know.
00:26:37No, you can't please, yeah.
00:26:38We're all friends here.
00:26:44What do you work at?
00:26:45Or do you work, are you tired there?
00:26:47I retired from Aer Lingus only three months ago.
00:26:50Really?
00:26:51I've worked on the ground in Aer Lingus in Dublin airport for just about 40 years.
00:26:57I'd go back tomorrow probably.
00:26:59Would you?
00:26:59I did, I liked it.
00:27:00Back then, you knelt in the hole of the aircraft and this fella threw 50 bags into the end.
00:27:06You put the 50 bags up there and you were on your knees, bent down like this inside of the
00:27:10hole.
00:27:11You didn't bang them all in, throw them all in.
00:27:13I was very careful, very careful, except on a bad day.
00:27:18I'm not fully retired yet.
00:27:20Oh really?
00:27:21What's your field?
00:27:23I teach Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
00:27:26Anyway.
00:27:28I don't believe either of those.
00:27:32You don't believe me?
00:27:33I once called it Qi Gong.
00:27:35I've never heard of that one.
00:27:36It's obviously similar to Tai Chi, which is nice and relaxed movements, which is very good.
00:27:42Okay, well.
00:27:43Do you know your chakras?
00:27:44Yes, yeah.
00:27:46Oh dear, so are you interested?
00:27:48Seven chakras?
00:27:48Seven chakras?
00:27:48Seven chakras.
00:27:49Seven important ones, there's loads.
00:27:51Loads more as well, right, okay, yeah.
00:27:53So are you interested in that?
00:27:54Ah, I've read something on it.
00:27:56No, that's great, because a lot of men don't.
00:27:59I know a little of everything, a lot about nothing.
00:28:10Looking at my friends, like, does your husband and boyfriends not have somebody for me?
00:28:14Somebody, something.
00:28:16Like, just give me something.
00:28:18Love doesn't always come easy.
00:28:20But in Rachel's case, it's really playing hard to get.
00:28:24I don't know what it is, but nobody approaches me.
00:28:27I don't know if it's with me, or maybe there is no fish in the sea.
00:28:34I'm quite happy being alone, but there is times when I'm lonely.
00:28:38Saturday evenings, going on holidays, and then weddings.
00:28:44Oh, I hate weddings so much.
00:28:47Everybody is so in love, and I'm just so lonely.
00:28:54You ready for some dating?
00:28:56Very scared.
00:28:57Why are you scared?
00:28:58Look at yourself, come on.
00:29:01I have been single since 2016.
00:29:05There has been, like, the situationships come and go,
00:29:08and they've kind of just reaffirmed, there's nobody out there for me.
00:29:12Yeah, yeah.
00:29:13Better safe than sorry, yeah?
00:29:14I'm definitely an introvert, but people probably think I'm extroverted.
00:29:19Nervous?
00:29:20Oh, terrifying.
00:29:21Really?
00:29:22Oh, my God, terrified.
00:29:23Whenever I go home in the evening, I'm like,
00:29:25all I want to do is watch Kardashians,
00:29:26because it takes that much brain power,
00:29:29and, like, you have to be happy, happy all the time.
00:29:31And then people are asking what your hobbies are, and I'm like...
00:29:35So what would your normal type of a guy be?
00:29:37Okay, one step back on a scale of evolution.
00:29:42Hairy, strong, kind of, like, big, like an ape.
00:29:46Bearded.
00:29:46Yes.
00:29:47Long hair, unhaired chest.
00:29:49No, no, no, no, no, no long hair.
00:29:49You can't have better hair than me.
00:29:55Hello, sir.
00:29:56How are you?
00:29:57How are you, sir?
00:29:57You well?
00:29:57Your name, please?
00:29:58Gerard.
00:29:58Gerard.
00:29:59Gerard.
00:29:59How are you?
00:30:01Personality-wise, I'd like to think of an eight or nine.
00:30:03Looks-wise, who knows?
00:30:04Twelve.
00:30:06I'm pretty easy-going, you know?
00:30:08I like a bit of fun, I like a bit of outgoing-ness.
00:30:10And on an old Saturday night, an old cuddle at home is nice, too.
00:30:14Is he talking to Mateo?
00:30:16Yeah.
00:30:17Is he good-looking?
00:30:18Yeah.
00:30:18Yeah.
00:30:19I don't really have a preference, look-wise, you know?
00:30:21I mean, black hair, maybe, and somebody that's, you know, proud of their appearance as well.
00:30:27Man bun?
00:30:28Other than that, I'm not too picky.
00:30:31That's cut-able off-able, isn't it?
00:30:34Right, my beautiful lady.
00:30:37Hello.
00:30:37Hiya.
00:30:38How are you?
00:30:38How's it going?
00:30:39Rachel Gerard.
00:30:40How's it going?
00:30:40Gerard.
00:30:41How are ya?
00:30:41Good.
00:30:42Good, good, good.
00:30:43Where are you from, Rachel?
00:30:44Monaghan.
00:30:45Monaghan?
00:30:45Monaghan.
00:30:45Do you know what?
00:30:46No, I'm not going to lie to you, I've probably never in my entire life stepped foot in Monaghan.
00:30:49Why not?
00:30:50Yeah, I don't know.
00:30:50Where are you from?
00:30:51Cork.
00:30:52Cork.
00:30:52Yeah, yeah, that's fair, isn't it?
00:30:54It's a mad accent, just because I've never really come across anyone from Cork.
00:30:58Oh, really?
00:30:58Go in?
00:30:58So you've never been in Cork?
00:31:00No, I was in Kerry.
00:31:01Really?
00:31:02Yeah.
00:31:02Two different countries now as well.
00:31:06Am I a good date?
00:31:08I can talk, but no strategies whatsoever.
00:31:12No, I just go in and talk and talk and talk.
00:31:15Are you nervous?
00:31:16No, not at all, are you?
00:31:17Are you really going?
00:31:18Oh my God, absolutely terrified.
00:31:19I would kind of overthink things as well.
00:31:21I'd be like, right, I have to build myself up to something.
00:31:23And then I come across confident, but I'm sweating.
00:31:26I am sweating.
00:31:28I've been on a date before now.
00:31:29I have, and I've been like this all, like just...
00:31:32Yeah, no, I'm just...
00:31:33It'll be all right, be fine.
00:31:34She'll have 13 minutes, but it's all right.
00:31:40Amazing.
00:31:41Thank you so, so much.
00:31:42Are you stripping?
00:31:43Sorry.
00:31:44Why are you apologizing?
00:31:46Nothing to apologize for.
00:31:47I'm trying to get as close to him as I possibly can from across the table.
00:31:50I don't blame her.
00:31:50I love it.
00:31:52Do you see the size of the same?
00:31:54Take a big bite on what I want you to do.
00:31:56Is this, is this what you're into?
00:31:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:57It's actually what I'm into.
00:31:58Nice and slow, yeah.
00:31:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:00I don't blame you.
00:32:01No, go on.
00:32:04I like someone that can make me laugh, but isn't as funny as me.
00:32:08And I can be like myself around.
00:32:10Because the more you get to know me, the weirder I get.
00:32:14I was so nervous going over here.
00:32:16Because I'm embarrassed.
00:32:17I thought I was going to be stuck with some bloke who just doesn't say anything.
00:32:20Before.
00:32:21Excuse me.
00:32:22Excuse me.
00:32:24Or some coat with brown shoes.
00:32:25I was like, I put a tractor.
00:32:27I was going to bring brown shoes.
00:32:29No, I didn't.
00:32:31You're lucky.
00:32:32The shoe choice.
00:32:33You're lucky that I...
00:32:33What's wrong with the shoe choice?
00:32:35It's actually quite nice.
00:32:36My mum bought this.
00:32:38Did you say your mum?
00:32:39Oh my god, you're so from the south side.
00:32:41It's actually not even funny.
00:32:43Sorry.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:48I like where this is going.
00:32:55Do you want to try some beef?
00:32:57Yeah.
00:32:58I'll try some of those.
00:32:59There you go.
00:33:00Go on.
00:33:01Go on.
00:33:02Go on.
00:33:05Oh, this is very nice.
00:33:06It is nice, isn't it?
00:33:07Mm.
00:33:08I'm fairly confident I can read people very well.
00:33:11In my job and stuff, like, you have to be quick, be able to read guests and stuff and
00:33:15know when people are happy or not.
00:33:16But in my personal life, that can lead to overthinking about what others think of me.
00:33:21Do you have, um...
00:33:23Anything?
00:33:23Do you have, like, gravy or something across your mouth there?
00:33:27I'm so bad.
00:33:30Okay.
00:33:30Yeah, there you go.
00:33:31It's gone.
00:33:32Can we talk about musical instruments?
00:33:34Yeah, go on.
00:33:36Play a small bit of piano.
00:33:38I play piano.
00:33:39Really?
00:33:40Well, you trained though.
00:33:42I just picked a bit.
00:33:42No, I'm trained in clarinet.
00:33:44How long have you been playing clarinet?
00:33:45You need to, like, play the clarinet for the first...
00:33:48No, the recorder first.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:49No.
00:33:51To learn how to finger.
00:33:55Because you need to make sure you're fingering the recorder correctly, you know what I mean?
00:34:00So, do you practice your fingering?
00:34:02Mm.
00:34:03Mm.
00:34:03To your...
00:34:05Professional...
00:34:05Professional fingering.
00:34:07And after my fingering was really good.
00:34:10And then gave me on to the clarinet.
00:34:13I'll have to take your word for it.
00:34:15Oh.
00:34:18Awesome.
00:34:24I'm a very fussy eater.
00:34:25I don't eat vegetables.
00:34:27At all?
00:34:27No.
00:34:28That's all right, that's fine.
00:34:29Are you a picky...?
00:34:30Not really.
00:34:31Like, the only thing that I won't eat...
00:34:33I hate beans.
00:34:35Rotten.
00:34:36Absolutely rotten.
00:34:36Stink it.
00:34:37The texture.
00:34:38The taste.
00:34:38They're stinkin'.
00:34:39You get the rats after that.
00:34:40All right, okay.
00:34:42I like to make people laugh.
00:34:44That's very, very important.
00:34:45I think you have to make somebody laugh.
00:34:46You have to make somebody laugh.
00:34:47You have to make somebody comfortable.
00:34:47It relaxes everybody.
00:34:49Do you have any tattoos?
00:34:50No.
00:34:51Do you not?
00:34:51No.
00:34:52How would you feel about your date having those?
00:34:54Yeah?
00:34:55You're all for tattoos.
00:34:56What have you got?
00:34:56Show me.
00:34:57That's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
00:34:59Oh, Christ.
00:35:00Why?
00:35:00That's a Beetlejuice one.
00:35:01Well, because why not, like?
00:35:02Oh, that's my...
00:35:03Look, I have a daughter.
00:35:03That's my daughter's name.
00:35:06Ayla is her name.
00:35:07She's 12.
00:35:08And she is probably my best friend as well, so...
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:12So you have a daughter.
00:35:13I have a daughter.
00:35:13Have you been married before?
00:35:14Yes.
00:35:15We were together for, let's say, eight years.
00:35:17But there was no animosity when we broke up or anything, so...
00:35:20We stayed living together for a few years to raise Ayla and things.
00:35:23And, yeah, I'm still one of my best friends.
00:35:25Do you think that ever intimidates people that you date?
00:35:28When I was a little bit younger, it was intimidating for people then.
00:35:32As I got older, less so.
00:35:35But, you know, I don't want to be with somebody that has a problem with that anyway, so...
00:35:39We bought, like, a big plot of land.
00:35:42Okay.
00:35:42So we kind of halved it.
00:35:43Yeah.
00:35:43So she gets one half.
00:35:45And I have a log cabin on my half then, so, yeah, yeah.
00:35:48And Ayla can tip over.
00:35:50Yeah, she just goes back and forth between the two then, like, yeah, yeah, it's really nice.
00:35:53Yeah, and it's...
00:35:53That is actually a lovely...
00:35:54Yeah, it's really cool.
00:36:01Did you enjoy that?
00:36:03Lovely.
00:36:03Mm-hmm.
00:36:04I haven't had steak for a while now.
00:36:05Good Irish beef.
00:36:07Mm.
00:36:08We don't take enough of what's good for us.
00:36:10I love cake.
00:36:12Do you?
00:36:13Jesus Christ.
00:36:14You have a sweet tooth.
00:36:15Oh, my God.
00:36:16The whole side of them.
00:36:18I do.
00:36:19Oh, yeah, I love sweet.
00:36:20There's nothing like a good laugh.
00:36:21And we don't do enough that we don't experience enough of a laugh.
00:36:26It's so fun.
00:36:28That's American Miss Grammar.
00:36:30It's so much fun.
00:36:33It's amazing what makes us tick, or doesn't, as the case may be, you know.
00:36:37And that's why I take every experience that comes my way.
00:36:41Does love and what you're looking for change as you get older?
00:36:46It gets deeper.
00:36:48Like, you know, when you're young, love is romantic, but it's deeper.
00:36:52It takes all kinds of different people, doesn't it?
00:36:55Absolutely.
00:36:56We're introverts and we're extroverts.
00:36:57Mm-hmm.
00:36:58So we have to just accept who we are.
00:37:01Yeah, and the more different various experiences that you have,
00:37:05the more fulfilling, you know.
00:37:08Yeah.
00:37:09If I have any regrets in life,
00:37:12I regret that I wasn't, I'll say the word, more promiscuous.
00:37:18All the good things are illegal, immoral, or they make you fat.
00:37:21Isn't that the song?
00:37:22That's perfect, isn't that so true?
00:37:25I'm definitely prudish in ways, even though I'm very open-minded.
00:37:29It's like the Catholic Church teaching comes up in your mind all the time.
00:37:34I think we're kind of slightly coming out of it, but sex is taboo, taboo, taboo.
00:37:40I keep saying we're a strange species, but we're all similar.
00:37:43Absolutely.
00:37:44Everyone has the same feelings, emotions.
00:37:47I love sex.
00:37:49Of course I do.
00:37:51I'm human.
00:37:52I love to just enjoy life.
00:37:54You have to.
00:37:55Mmm.
00:37:57We're romantic and physical, I would really like.
00:37:59Definitely.
00:38:00I have the energy.
00:38:03Cheers to that song.
00:38:05Cheers.
00:38:13Oh my God, he's so fucking cool.
00:38:16And like, I swear, like five minutes in, we were already talking about marriage.
00:38:20He is so funny.
00:38:24He's from Southside.
00:38:26So he's from, he's a Dubliner like.
00:38:29What?
00:38:30Oh my God.
00:38:33It doesn't matter if he's a book in North order or Southsider.
00:38:39So how is it going?
00:38:40It's going, it's going fairly well.
00:38:42I'm glad she's, I'm glad she's my kind of person.
00:38:46The same sense of humor and she's not afraid to be herself.
00:38:50That's amazing.
00:38:51Yeah.
00:38:51I'd be terrified to talk to her if I saw her in the middle.
00:38:54Really?
00:38:54Yeah, yeah.
00:38:55I don't think I have the balls to talk to her.
00:38:57Yeah, but now that I'm here, 100%.
00:39:00I met Matteo as well.
00:39:02And I said, my mom loves you.
00:39:09Oh, that looks so good.
00:39:10You won't be eating that spinach out there, will you?
00:39:12Is that spinach?
00:39:13I've never had it in my life.
00:39:14Well, don't worry about it.
00:39:15Like, it's tasteless enough.
00:39:17Like, it wouldn't add to your steak in any way.
00:39:18Do you want some of this?
00:39:20Mm-mm.
00:39:21Oh no, I'll get rid of all the green bits for you.
00:39:23Have a little bop off of there and see what you think.
00:39:25Go on.
00:39:26You'll enjoy this.
00:39:27I promise.
00:39:28Oh!
00:39:28Oh!
00:39:32Oh!
00:39:32Do you act like that, though?
00:39:33Whoa.
00:39:34That's a taste sensational.
00:39:35Oh, my.
00:39:35You spit it over.
00:39:36Do you act like that?
00:39:37No, go away.
00:39:38They definitely need to be patient with me.
00:39:40Definitely.
00:39:41Because it's worth it.
00:39:42Like, my friends and family are just number one to me.
00:39:47I am a home bird.
00:39:49Mm-mm.
00:39:49I live at home.
00:39:50With my pa...
00:39:51Pa...
00:39:52Pa...
00:39:52Parents.
00:39:53Right.
00:39:53I call them my housemates.
00:39:55I quite like it, but they're always trying to set me up with people.
00:40:00There has been people who are like, I don't like you at all, but like, yeah, I'll go on another
00:40:05date.
00:40:06I'm sure it's something to be at.
00:40:08That's awful.
00:40:09Is that awful?
00:40:10People are like, why don't you just move out?
00:40:12It's like, well, I'm gonna move out to a house on my own, because I know I get on with
00:40:16my parents so, so well.
00:40:17You do want a bit of privacy as well sometimes, don't you?
00:40:21But like, I was spoiled at home.
00:40:22Yeah, but that's okay.
00:40:26The first time I kissed a fella, and then he turned around, and he was like, oh, like,
00:40:29I'm not gay.
00:40:30That was a mistake.
00:40:31I'm like, that really upset me.
00:40:34Would you say you've been in love before?
00:40:36The romantic kind now.
00:40:37But I mean, I'm still, like, really young, so I'm not kind of worried about that.
00:40:43Are you here?
00:40:45Oh, am I being fed off?
00:40:47Oh, come on.
00:40:49That's good, isn't it?
00:40:50Mm.
00:40:51If someone's interested in me, I'm completely blind to that, like, I haven't a clue.
00:40:55If we're having good conversation, I'm completely lost in the conversation.
00:40:59Let me just glance my pal.
00:41:00Oh, yeah, sorry.
00:41:01I forgot you're a professional.
00:41:04Getting hints of tap.
00:41:06During a day, I don't think someone will know if I don't like them or not.
00:41:10I think I can be quite talkative and kind of give off the impression that I am very attracted
00:41:15or into someone.
00:41:16That's really good.
00:41:18If I was going to reject someone, I think I'd be fine.
00:41:23But if I was going to get rejected, I think that's kind of where, like, you're kind of vulnerable.
00:41:29Now, are we happy to settle up?
00:41:32Yeah.
00:41:33Yes, please.
00:41:34No, we split it.
00:41:36I can pay for it.
00:41:37I don't mind.
00:41:39No, we split it.
00:41:40Being rejected or rejecting someone is completely natural as long as you do it in a respectful way.
00:41:45Okay, go on.
00:41:46Let's split it, please.
00:41:48Like, if they're not your person, absolutely fine.
00:41:51They're not your person.
00:41:57So, would you like to see each other again romantically?
00:42:01Who goes?
00:42:02You go first.
00:42:03First.
00:42:06I would really like to see Ian again.
00:42:08Yeah, I would like to see him again as well.
00:42:11I thought you were going to say no.
00:42:13Really?
00:42:13I thought you were going to say no.
00:42:15Because when I offered to pay the bill, you were like, no, no, no, we'll split it.
00:42:17We'll split it.
00:42:17And I was like, oh, okay, I see.
00:42:19I was, okay, right.
00:42:21If you'd really wanted to, you could be like, no, like, I'm paying.
00:42:24And I'd be like, how many times did I offer to pay?
00:42:26Twice.
00:42:27Only twice.
00:42:28Two times a turn.
00:42:30Okay.
00:42:30Thank you, though.
00:42:31No worries.
00:42:31That was lovely.
00:42:34That was a relief.
00:42:36Oh, yeah, you are tall.
00:42:39So, you guys fancy each other?
00:42:40Yeah, I think that's safe to say.
00:42:42Him, obviously, like, more than me.
00:42:44Right, right, right.
00:42:46Thank you very much.
00:42:47Bye.
00:42:48Bye.
00:42:49He's really nice.
00:42:50He's really chatty.
00:42:51He's very sweet.
00:42:54He was really attractive, both personality-wise and physically.
00:43:01Like, everything just seems to be pretty good, you know?
00:43:06Ow, ow, my head.
00:43:10That really hurt.

00:46:39that's very, very bad.
00:46:41So tell me, what are, how are you finding dating and stuff?
00:46:46I don't do it.
00:46:47At all? Not at all?
00:46:48I'm actually quite reclusive.
00:46:49Oh, okay.
00:46:50Like I've met the odd person, but I just,
00:46:53I'm not good with small, like I don't,
00:46:55I can't be honest with the shite.
00:46:57Yeah.
00:46:57I think it's a lot to do with COVID as well.
00:46:59I turned very strange after COVID.
00:47:01Like I, but you know, you're locked up for like two or three years,
00:47:05so I think you're going to be a wee bit odd.
00:47:07Out of practice, maybe.
00:47:08We'll say out of practice.
00:47:10Had a boyfriend.
00:47:11Mm-hmm.
00:47:12Whenever we broke up, I was like,
00:47:14Jesus, I don't even know who I am.
00:47:15I'm like...
00:47:16It's not easy, especially if you're together with someone for so long.
00:47:18Yeah.
00:47:19Everybody else has moved on.
00:47:20People are having children and getting married and stuff.
00:47:23My last relationship, I was definitely quite dependent on them,
00:47:27so I worked on myself a long time to get that independence back.
00:47:31So I think that's why my walls are up.
00:47:33But I want them to come down.
00:47:35Like I want to be a wee bit softer.
00:47:37People are like, oh, how are you single?
00:47:39You're great, crack, blah, blah, blah.
00:47:40I'm beautiful as well.
00:47:42Like, let's go on.
00:47:43Sorry.
00:47:45Like, I have been in love before,
00:47:47so I know that side of me is there,
00:47:49but it's just wrapped in concrete.
00:47:53I actually wouldn't usually be a dinner and drinks man.
00:47:56No, I'm never on.
00:47:57I'm not a huge fan of that man.
00:47:59I think that's why I was so nervous.
00:48:00Because, like, I don't...
00:48:01Like, obviously, I'm weird with food.
00:48:04Ah, you're not.
00:48:05Don't be worried about that.
00:48:06People don't give a shit about that.
00:48:13Oh, look what I got.
00:48:16Here's the heart.
00:48:17Will we share?
00:48:18Absolutely.
00:48:19You have to, haven't you?
00:48:20Don't go breaking my heart.
00:48:22Oh, so we can't go breaking the heart.
00:48:24Jesus.
00:48:28Is that the bill here?
00:48:30Thank you very much.
00:48:31You won't have a look at that and see how much it is.
00:48:34There's no hurry.
00:48:38He's a lovely man.
00:48:39And I think he was interested in some of the things I was interested in.
00:48:43A lot of things that I know most males aren't interested in,
00:48:46and I said, oh, I like that.
00:49:06I need to find it.
00:49:10I don't want you to go through that.
00:49:18I don't want you to go.
00:49:22Now I know women do have money, but he didn't even offer.
00:49:25Can we split it?
00:49:26Of course.
00:49:28It shows a lot about his character to me.
00:49:30Lovely.
00:49:32Would you like to see each other romantically again?
00:49:37I wouldn't, particularly.
00:49:39I wouldn't jump at it.
00:49:42Not a date date, but a coffee date or something, let's call it.
00:49:46No problem, but...
00:49:49Yeah.
00:49:51Yeah, I agree.
00:49:53I totally agree.
00:49:55Thank you both so much for coming. It's been lovely.
00:49:58We all enjoy new experiences.
00:50:00While we're afraid of them, it's nice to step outside your comfort zone.
00:50:04But there wasn't a physical attraction, I'm sorry to say.
00:50:10A lovely man, nice conversation.
00:50:12But there was no spark there, sure?
00:50:14There wasn't really...
00:50:14No, if we're honest, there's no point in saying a lie.
00:50:17No, no, there wasn't a spark.
00:50:21It just wasn't that I wanted to see him again.
00:50:25It's lovely.
00:50:26Thank you very much.
00:50:27I would have loved him in the sparks.
00:50:30I would have.
00:50:39Okay, what are some stuff that you're into?
00:50:42I'm weird.
00:50:42I'll do anything I'll bother, but I'm hard to keep something up as a hobby.
00:50:47Okay.
00:50:47Like, I was really into my naval history for a year there.
00:50:50What the fuck is that?
00:50:51What do you mean?
00:50:52It's a history about ships.
00:50:54Oh, history about ships.
00:50:56I don't know why.
00:50:57What are your hobbies?
00:50:59I love singing, but that's like...
00:51:01You know I'm going to have to test that later.
00:51:03I can do a really mean Liam Gallagher impression.
00:51:05I've never been more aroused in my life, by the way.
00:51:09Where do you stand in relation to sex on a first date?
00:51:15My mum's going to watch this.
00:51:17My dad as well.
00:51:18Take off your top.
00:51:19I wouldn't be going into the day and meeting a person for an hour and then be like,
00:51:22right, go on.
00:51:23I have a room in the hotel upstairs.
00:51:24Go on, go on with you.
00:51:26I'm not nearly confident enough to be trying that.
00:51:31Nice tattoo.
00:51:32You miss out.
00:51:33Because before I had the full moustache going.
00:51:38My little moustache.
00:51:39Why did you get rid of it?
00:51:41I look like I have accusations.
00:51:46I can't risk that.
00:51:47No, my little moustache is so hot.
00:51:50I'll go back.
00:51:50Give me like two years and I'll go back.
00:51:54No problem.
00:51:58You'll enjoy that.
00:51:59It's like the top of a cheesecake.
00:52:02It's very loving.
00:52:05I was going to say it.
00:52:07Yeah, so how would you like?
00:52:08Are you looking for kids?
00:52:10Is that in your future?
00:52:14I'm realistic in the body clock.
00:52:17Because Tekken.
00:52:18Yeah, yeah.
00:52:18I'm not mad for them.
00:52:20But if they happen.
00:52:21You wouldn't be upset, like.
00:52:23Oh, no, I wouldn't be upset at all.
00:52:25I do love kids, like, but.
00:52:27I can't have kids anymore.
00:52:29Hmm.
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:32You snapped?
00:52:33Yeah, so, like, I never, you know, we hear people going to Australia and things like that.
00:52:38Yes, yeah.
00:52:38I never did that.
00:52:39Like, I go on holidays, but, like, you know, not to monstrously exotic places.
00:52:45You want to do your 20s in your 40s.
00:52:47Exactly.
00:52:47I want to be able to do that.
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:49So you actually went and did it?
00:52:51Yeah, yeah.
00:52:51That's mad.
00:52:52I got it there about two years ago.
00:52:54What have you met somebody who was, like, mad for kids?
00:52:57Well, you can reverse it, like.
00:52:58It's not, you know.
00:53:00Look, if somebody did want kids, I would have the discussion about it, like, you know what?
00:53:04That it's not a make or break for?
00:53:05Yeah, it's not a make or break for, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:16Purple.
00:53:17That's actually a big bang, to be fair.
00:53:18It is.
00:53:20I've destroyed the lovi.
00:53:21I don't know if that's a good sign.
00:53:24I've never, like, really gotten along with someone so quickly.
00:53:27I'm worried.
00:53:28I don't, yeah, I don't think we're supposed to get on with it.
00:53:30I don't think so.
00:53:30I think it's supposed to be awkward for a little bit.
00:53:32You're coming on with me.
00:53:35That's a quote.
00:53:35That's a reference.
00:53:36That's a reference.
00:53:40Come here, hon.
00:53:42You've got nice hands.
00:53:44I do my best.
00:53:46Nails are fucking lovely.
00:53:48Do you know what's best about them?
00:53:52I don't know how that's.
00:53:53I am.
00:53:56Is that not nice?
00:53:57Yeah, that's a problem.
00:54:02Hello, sir.
00:54:03This is a moment of truth.
00:54:08What are you doing there?
00:54:10What?
00:54:10This is just a piece of paper.
00:54:11It's nothing.
00:54:12Can I not go to the house?
00:54:13No.
00:54:14Why?
00:54:14Do you think I'm somebody else?
00:54:18Absolutely not.
00:54:19You can get me ten drinks there later.
00:54:25Hi.
00:54:28You're a Capricorn?
00:54:29Capricorn, yeah.
00:54:30You're responsible, disciplined, self-control, and you have good manners.
00:54:35You do have good manners, to be fair.
00:54:36I have this forever erect nipple because I used to have it pierced years ago.
00:54:44I just don't know about that sort of thing.
00:54:46Maybe that's what Cork people do.
00:54:48I don't know.
00:54:50Your greatest compatibility is Taurus and Cancer.
00:54:53Oh, yeah.
00:54:53What are you?
00:54:54Not Taurus or Cancer.
00:54:56I'm on the fence.
00:54:58Boy, what does yours say?
00:54:59Cool, sophisticated, beautiful, intelligent.
00:55:03Do you think I'm intelligent?
00:55:07Hi, man.
00:55:08How are you?
00:55:09All right.
00:55:10Good.
00:55:12All right, guys.
00:55:14Would you like to see each other again?
00:55:17Oh, my God, you're going straight for it.
00:55:18Straight for it.
00:55:19Straight for it.
00:55:20It's going to be so cringe.
00:55:21I would, yes.
00:55:25Oh, no.
00:55:30I don't think I would.
00:55:32I don't think I would.
00:55:34That is so awful.
00:55:35Oh, that's not awful.
00:55:36Jesus Almighty.
00:55:38You're a really, really nice person.
00:55:39Sorry.
00:55:39But I just don't think you're for me.
00:55:41That's okay.
00:55:42Don't worry about it.
00:55:43That's totally fine.
00:55:45No problem.
00:55:45Party on.
00:55:47Do you think I'm a bad person?
00:55:48No, I don't think you're a bad person.
00:55:49What, because you don't want to go on another date?
00:55:51Yeah.
00:55:52Oh.
00:55:53It's so true.
00:55:54I'm sweating so much.
00:55:56I won't.
00:55:57That's very inappropriate.
00:55:58I'm not going to do that at all.
00:55:59Sorry.
00:56:02We'll be best friends now in about six months.
00:56:04Would you be my friend?
00:56:05I'll be your friend, yeah.
00:56:06I'll be happy to be here.
00:56:07I'll search out for some dating tips.
00:56:09Yeah, Nathan.
00:56:10No.
00:56:12Thanks for nice, Nathan.
00:56:13Bye.
00:56:13See you later.
00:56:14That's okay.
00:56:15She'll look at it.
00:56:15Not every day it works out.
00:56:24We're your fifth home on top of my thumb.
00:56:25Oh, for fuck's sake.
00:56:26And then also, this is like the, I'm not making this up.
00:56:29This is the next.
00:56:30How did you know?
00:56:31I know.
00:56:31I'm just that good.
00:56:33So next level.
00:56:34I figured there'd be a mouth involved at some point.
00:56:38If I saw her, like, when I was out, 100%, I'd go, that's my type.
00:56:42And then I'd never talk to her throughout the night.
00:56:45I'm so distracted.
00:56:46It's crazy.
00:56:47You were saying?
00:56:48What do you mean?
00:56:50Do you think she fancied you?
00:56:53Mixed feelings, but I hope so.
00:56:57How?
00:57:00No, I can't say that.
00:57:03I was going to say how crazy would it be, because...
00:57:06Wouldn't be too wild.
00:57:16Jesus, what did my mother think of me?
00:57:24I'm back.
00:57:31So, moment of truth time.
00:57:33Would you both like to see each other again romantically?
00:57:37Not a chance.
00:57:37Nah.
00:57:38Couldn't be done.
00:57:39Not a chance.
00:57:41Yes, it might be.
00:57:44I really didn't expect him to match my personality as much as he really, really did.
00:57:51Have you not got any land?
00:57:53No land.
00:57:54I'm fucking out here.
00:57:55She's beautiful.
00:57:57The eyes are very, not intimidating, but, like, I had a reason to be nervous.
00:58:02And how was the kiss?
00:58:05I'm going red here.
00:58:10So, when is he going to see your Liam Gallagher impression?
00:58:14I'm going to see him.
00:58:15Can I, hopefully, if I get lucky?
00:58:20Ready?
00:58:25I didn't think there was such thing as a spark before.
00:58:29It was, like, honestly the best first day I've ever had.
00:58:32I don't know what he said.
00:58:40We can go to the beach.
00:58:42We can go swimming.
00:58:43Yeah.
00:58:43Yeah, yeah.
00:58:44We can go surfing or something like that.
00:58:45Yeah.
00:58:45Yeah, there. I'll do that. Second day for her.
00:58:53Do you fancy each other?
00:59:01Strong words, yeah.
00:59:03She'll make the Paris jealous, that's all.

01:01:44You've cooked fish.
01:01:45How impressive.
01:01:46Thought I'd try something just a little bit different.
01:01:48Didn't ma'am tell you to cook fish?
01:01:50There's just so much great Irish seafood to choose from.
01:01:54There's hake, mussels and trout.
01:01:56It's tasty and healthy.
01:01:58Cooking it took ages.
01:02:00Now, it takes a fair amount of skill.
01:02:04Hey, this fish.

01:02:45And now, Derry Girls.
01:03:02It's called Derry.
01:03:04Or London Derry, depending on your persuasion.
01:03:07A troubled little corner in the northwest of Ireland.
01:03:11It's fair to say I have a somewhat complicated relationship
01:03:15with my hometown.
01:03:18You see, the thing about living in Derry is
01:03:20there's nowhere to hide.
01:03:23Everybody knows everybody,
01:03:24knows everything about everybody.
01:03:29And sometimes all I really want
01:03:35is to be simply left alone.
01:03:39Is that my theory?
01:03:48She's gone too far this time, mommy.
01:03:50I mean, what next?
01:03:51We'll get you trying on me knickers.
01:03:53Don't say knickers in front of your father.
01:03:54He can't cope.
01:03:55I can't cope?
