19:24Oh, oh, oh, woke up today
19:27Most of my teenage life has been spent in the pursuit of hair volume
19:31Oh, oh, oh, look at my hair
19:34I used to beg my mum to let me straighten my hair on my own
19:37I used to fry my hair, used to watch it sizzle
19:39I got my hairspray and radio
19:43I'm ready to go
19:45Man, you're on the mission, huh?
19:47I am. I feel like I've been fired out of a cannon
19:49You brought the vibe with you cool, man
19:51Good morning, Boston, you look good
19:55Thank you
19:56It's very 80s, I love it
19:57Funky, funky
19:58This isn't a look, this is a moment
20:00Once I have a good hair day, that's just, you know, I feel like I can take on the world
20:05And what are you looking for?
20:07Mostly a good time
20:08Okay, yeah, good
20:09And if they like me, that's only a bonus
20:11Well, they'll have to like me, how can you not like this?
20:13This is class
20:14Some people do find my personality a bit intimidating
20:16Well, then they're not for you
20:17That's the thing
20:18I'm not willing to tame myself for anybody
20:20And nobody ever should
20:25Hiya
20:28Carl has learned how to make quality connections
20:31By transmitting on his own unique frequency
20:37I grew up with being labelled
20:38Oh, you're the weird kids
20:41But then I found more people who were like on my wavelength
20:44Don't do what you want to do
20:46But it's what I'm going to do
20:48As we got older, we realised
20:50A lot of people might not like you
20:52But that's okay
20:53Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
20:56Find friends who do and stick with them instead
21:01Oh, fuck
21:04I
21:05Know it's I knew I'd overthink the door it doesn't matter perfection is boring
21:09You know I usually do like someone that's like really goofy and laid-back and I was kind of a
21:13more unique vibe. It's walk here
21:16It's like
21:17I was just walking down being like okay
21:20All I have to do is just open the door and then I pulled the wrong door
21:23And you know what I've already made that mistake so now if anything else happens
21:29Worst comes to worst this is like a great tinder bio
21:32featured on
21:34Hi, how are you David?
21:36Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. How are you doing?
21:39I'm well
21:41Yeah, listen, I don't bite so
21:46Thank you very unique. Hi, how are you?
21:48Look at this
21:50I mean your hair is gorgeous to be fair. I
21:57Think you have to be very happy yourself and satisfied with yourself before you get involved with other people. It's
22:00true
22:01You have to set boundaries with people as well
22:02Did you say set boundaries? Yeah, you have to set boundaries with people.
22:04You love the boundaries that in King
22:07They definitely did in like past relationships allow someone to overstep my boundaries a lot and I became like this
22:14little insecure shell of myself that wasn't me
22:17I'll never let myself go back to being that girl again
22:20I've done loads of therapy
22:21I've done loads of like self work
22:23It's always good to talk to someone though
22:24It's really important to talk to somebody
22:25I've never had a therapy session in my life though. Really? Never
22:28I think absolutely everybody can benefit from therapy
22:30I think your mental health is like the most important thing
22:34I was never brought up to like deal with emotion and things like that like
22:36I remember my dad
22:37He actually passed away in 2020
22:40I didn't tell my ex at the time
22:42When he passed away, I didn't tell her for a couple of weeks
22:45He used to live in England
22:46So we had to bring the body back so by the time everything was sorted
22:48Obviously I said it to her then
22:50But I do believe a man does have to be strong
22:53But I should be able to open up at the same time
22:56But yeah, I'm a little more in touch with my emotions now anyway
22:59I feel like I need someone to like take me out of my comfort zone
23:03I love people who are just very out there chatty
23:05Because they're bringing out another side of you as well
23:08As much as I am secure and happy single
23:12There's other times where you're just like
23:13When am I going to meet my person? I'm ready like
23:18Do you want my chips?
23:19I don't want to finish your chips
23:21Of course you can
23:22You can have it bro
23:23It's a challenge
23:23It's all good
23:24Did you call me bro?
23:27No, no, I said you can have it though
23:30Oh, I thought you were like, you can have bro?
23:32I was like
23:33Maybe I did
23:33Am I your bro?
23:34Maybe I did
23:36No, no, but it's just
23:37That's just the way I talk to literally
23:39Everyone
23:40It just rolls out of my tongue all the time
23:42But no, you're not my bro
23:44You're
23:46I'm
23:49You're a nice person
23:50You're a nice girl
23:52You're a nice girl
23:53Thank you
23:53You're nice too
23:54Thank you, I appreciate that
23:56I was very pleased when I saw you
23:58And obviously, you're a very chatty person
23:59Like, yeah, so I'd be acting great
24:01Like, no, honestly
24:01I've had a good time
24:03Cheers
24:04Cheers
24:04Cheers

24:09Yeah, she's pretty
24:10She's a good energy about her
24:12Cool
24:12We're off to a flyer then, so
24:14Perfect
24:14It's a love to hear
24:15So far so good, yeah
24:17Fingers crossed for your mind
24:18He's a really nice guy
24:19And he's really hot like
24:20The conversation has flown
24:25Yeah, it's flown
24:26Yeah, it's flown
24:26But I don't know
24:27I feel like I am kind of initiating the conversation a lot more like
24:31It's early days
24:32It's early days
24:33Oh, do you listen
24:34He goes, what do you do?
24:35And I said, an energy healer
24:36He goes, we'll get the heart and we'll smash it
24:39And see if you can put it back together
24:40Because you're a healer
24:42What will you do if the spirits tried to contact you during the date?
24:46I will chat with them before I go in
24:48And I'll say, listen, no chit chat
24:50But if I go to the toilet
24:51You can pass on a message then
24:53I could get messages for someone
24:55Three tables away
24:56So if I hear someone saying their name
24:58If I go in and someone says, oh, hi, Sarah
25:02And I'll be like, that's Sarah with the messages for
25:04So I'll say, here, listen, by the way, I was in the toilet
25:06And Mary said, your chain is under your pillow
25:10Do you know what I mean?
25:12Now, we have two wines
25:14Oh, I love it

25:25Thank you
25:26You're welcome
25:26I actually do, yeah
25:28Thank you
25:28Will I know if you fancy your date?
25:31If I'm kind of outgoing, smiling
25:33Say it can be a bit awkward as well
25:34That's definitely another one now
25:39How do you hold it in the glass of wine?
25:41I mean like
25:43What?
25:45That's
25:45Why do you have to hold it like this to you?
25:48No, just hold it like that
25:49Like
25:49If I was trying to flirt
25:51Like I'm just going up and taking the piss out with someone really
25:54My hands aren't that delicate, you know
25:56They're not that big
25:57Like you don't need to grasp the glass
25:59My friends say my hands are like sandpaper
26:01Like the feel of it just sandpaper
26:03Your hands aren't even that big like
26:05Are they like sandpaper like that?
26:07Like
26:08They're not that bad
26:11I'm doing that thing I like to
26:12Stop it right now
26:17I'm shit awkward
26:19I'm locked as intolerance
26:20So fair
26:21IBS girlies rise up
26:23I'm not allergic
26:24I think I'm just such a picky
26:25Or chicken nuggets, chips
26:26Maybe beans
26:28But my family's Polish
26:29And I go there
26:29Polish food is so like
26:31Oh, it's just
26:32It's like cold chicken
26:33Inside like gelatin
26:34Like it's all like communist era 1980s
26:37Like I like the 80s but that was like Poland
26:38It was not good
26:39So I'm blessed
26:40If somebody
26:42Doesn't get my sense of humour
26:43Which can be very dry and very sarcastic
26:44We are dead in the water
26:46I love bantering with people
26:47That's like my love language
26:48Oh I'm a yapper
26:49Pro yapper
26:50I love your accent by the way
26:51Where are you from?
26:52Ballymun
26:52Really?
26:53Yeah, where are you from?
26:54Tlendokan
26:54Oh fair enough
26:55Opposite ends of the torteen
26:57Rest in peace the torteen
27:00I'm proud of where I'm from
27:01I hate when people
27:02Kind of have like a lesser down mentality
27:04I went to college
27:05And you see when people were like
27:06Oh I live in a student accommodation
27:07Ballymun
27:08It's such a dive
27:09And I'm like oh I'm from there
27:10And they're like oh
27:10Oh you went to college
27:12Good for you
27:12And I'm like okay wow
27:14So I worked in a student union for a year
27:16That's fun though
27:16That was so fun
27:17My favourite thing was planning freshers
27:19And booking Jedward
27:21Jedward?
27:21Did you get to meet them?
27:22They're so nice
27:23Yeah
27:23In the first five minutes of being on stage
27:25Doesn't one of them just like do a bit of a jump across the stage
27:28And man them his ankle
27:29Oh
27:29They said be grand
27:31And got back up anyways
27:32I used to be a competitive dancer
27:34And I did that same mistake
27:35I landed like I sprained my ankle on stage
27:38I sat out for a month
27:39Covid came around by the time I healed
27:40No
27:41And I've just never run back to it
27:42Aww go back to it
27:43I hate dancing
27:44Well I'm a theater kid
27:45But I don't like dancing
27:46I am quite outgoing
27:48And quite loud even
27:49Like I very much fit to build my friends
27:51And being like annoying theater kids
27:52What's your opinion on dinosaurs?
27:54I went to a dinosaur phase
27:55I used to pretend I was a dinosaur
27:56And like bite my friends
27:58I feel like I need to see you do your best impression of a dinosaur
28:00I'd be like
28:00I want someone that if I was like on an Iowa
28:04On the way to the bus stop
28:05We will start a really annoying sing song down the road
28:08My friend in Scotland got a noise complaint
28:11Because I was screaming like a version of Madonna
28:13While walking down the street to her apartment after a night out
28:15That's just
28:16That's very wrong
28:17I can't sing for the life of me
28:18To be fair it seems like you're the dancer
28:20And I'm the singer
28:20So we make one good theater performance
28:23I think so
28:24We can do this
28:27He's lovely
28:28He's from Waterford
28:29Go on monster
28:31And are you finished eating?
28:32Yeah I'm done
28:33I think she's the one that shapes us
28:34I'm not 100% sure
28:35I'll leave it in case
28:37I'll leave it in case
28:38Yeah and I'll come back in a bit
28:39Just in case
28:39Thank you very much
28:40Not at all
28:45Did you put more chips on my plate when I was gone?
28:47I thought you would
28:48I don't want to have it like you can have it though
28:49I don't mind
28:50That was really sweet that you did that when I was gone
28:52You're welcome
28:52Thanks
28:54Yay
29:02You going away this year?
29:03Or have you been away?
29:05I haven't been away this year
29:07No
29:08I was away last year
29:09I was in Morocco
29:10Oh so was I
29:11I actually went in October
29:12I went on my own
29:13First time going away on my own ever
29:15I've been away on my own a couple of times
29:16Yeah
29:17Enjoy it
29:18What's most important to you in a partner?
29:20I suppose someone who doesn't mind talking about their feelings and communicating
29:24Have everything on the table basically
29:26What's your work at?
29:28I work in the supermarket
29:30Oh right
29:32Studying and acting in Gaiety
29:34Oh
29:34Okay
29:35For the last year
29:37I've been focusing on myself
29:39And building myself up
29:41I kind of had a big life event last year
29:43That kind of just put everything into perspective
29:45My father passed away
29:47Heart attack
29:47What was your name?
29:49Heart attack
29:49I was 65
29:50Oh very young
29:51Unexpected for you
29:53Yeah
29:53Totally unexpected
29:54How did you hear that?
29:57It was hard to digest for a while
29:59I thought it was kind of going to derail me
30:01But it just drove me to pursue things that I've wanted to pursue
30:06I remember doing speech and drama at school when I was a kid and all
30:09Yeah
30:09I've always wanted to try the acting
30:11Never had the confidence to go for it
30:13Done a bit of salt searching and went back
30:15And it was just like something just clicked in my head
30:18It was like he left all of his strength with me
30:21So he'd go away to him to just put myself out there now and go for things
30:25So you must have been real already coming on this if you're used to acting now
30:29No
30:29It's different like when you have a script and stuff
30:32You know what I do
30:33Yeah, yeah, yeah
30:33It's just different because this is real
30:34Yeah, yeah, yeah
30:36You just have to wing it
30:36Yeah
30:38So far so good
30:39Yeah
30:40So what did you ask for?
30:42Yeah, brown eyes, brown hair, nice teeth, good personality, up for a bit of crack
30:49Yeah, the crack has the mustard, isn't it?
30:51Mm-hmm
30:54Can you do this?
30:55No, do you want some?
30:56No, I'm really, I'm really liking this
30:57Oh, okay
30:58Plus it ate all your chips
30:59I don't mind, you can
31:01How well you are
31:04Easy now
31:06I had a really good time there
31:08Tasha was really good looking
31:10He didn't stop that challenge literally the whole way till the day
31:12It was really nice, like
31:13That's way too much strawberry for me, bro
31:15You don't like sweet things?
31:16I do like sweet things
31:18I'm here with you, Lou
31:19I do like sweet things
31:21Damn it, you took my line right from under me
31:26Would you like to see each other again?
31:29Yeah, he's lovely
31:30For sure
31:31I think we have a lot more to talk about
31:32Oh, thank you
31:33I do, I think so
31:34Oh, that's good
31:35Well, I don't
31:36I'm joking
31:37I'm joking, I'm joking
31:38No, I definitely would like to see you again, yeah
31:41Bye now
31:41Thank you
31:41His dress is really nice
31:42Thank you
31:46That was great fun
31:48He's so, so sweet
31:49I really like his mindset, I think
31:51Like, he's very mature and a super kind person
31:56Conversation is slow now, I think
31:57Yeah
31:57You just match away and do the more
32:04You're an interesting conversationalist
32:06Oh, thank you
32:07But you can't say about all men
32:08Oh, wow
32:09That's great
32:14I don't care
32:16I don't care
32:34It's actually going really well.
32:36Is he like a farmer or not?
32:37He is a farmer, yeah.
32:39He has his own farm and all, yeah.
32:43This man you are going to love
32:44and we are going to bring to the George.
32:46How's it going so far?
32:47We actually have a lot in common.
32:49Oh, that's great.
32:51I've been single basically my entire life.
32:53I would like to go out there a bit more,
32:55but I just struggle kind of doing that.
32:58And would you have a typical type?
32:59Just kind of somebody who can handle me, honestly.
33:02And do you think he could?
33:03I think he could, yeah.
33:04Oh, yay.
33:05Sometimes when I have interest in somebody
33:06or somebody shows interest in me,
33:08I kind of freak out and I'm like,
33:09oh my God, oh my God, I can't do this, I can't do this.
33:11And I just kind of shut the door off completely.
33:12We have been having good chats.
33:15I did ask him to do an impression of a dinosaur.
33:17And he did it.
33:18Is he the usual something you're talking about on a birthday?
33:21I've actually never been in a relationship.
33:23I definitely do have like weird commitment-y issues.
33:26There's been times where like I've really got on with someone,
33:28but like I start thinking like long-term
33:30and start like listing off the variables.
33:32And like if I can see in the next like two years
33:35an issue forming, I'm just going to avoid it.
33:37I'm definitely getting more of like friendship vibes
33:41because I don't think we're flirting yet.
33:42I am going to go in and try to flirt a bit.
33:44I think I need to just kind of get into that mentality
33:46of I'm just going to go for it.
33:48I want the experiences
33:49and I want to have someone to just do dumb shit with.
33:53Oh, thank you.
33:55Did you even come to the restaurant
33:56if you didn't have the chocolate heart?
33:58Do you know what I mean?
33:59You're very welcome.
34:00Enjoy it.
34:01Oh, so cute.
34:03Crack it and then she's going to heal.
34:04It looks so cute.
34:09Oh.
34:14It's not hard.
34:16It's soft.
34:20It's okay.
34:22No, I am very upset.
34:27Because in my head, this tastes different.
34:32Comparison's the key for joy.
34:38What's that supposed to be?
34:40What is that?
34:41I don't know what.
34:44Oh, I think it's a sweet potato one.
34:47I don't like sweet potato.
34:48And me working with potatoes at my job too.
34:51I'm doing it.
34:51You all do as well.
34:54Specialising, yeah.
34:54Jesus, you're flat out then, aren't you?
34:57I'm more or less busy.
34:5924-7.
35:00Between firemen, playing my football, playing my hurling.
35:03And then a lot of fatigue kind of kicks in with that as well.
35:07Like, I did struggle with mental health.
35:10You can imagine the stress, the anxiety, everything that goes on in your head.
35:16I did take a step back.
35:18And like, having an outside life and kind of those friendships can help me with mental health.
35:24That's what I kind of learned from that experience.
35:29Oh, that is strong, I'll have to say.
35:32Is it?
35:33Do you not like it?
35:35No, you don't.
35:36I do.
35:37No, you don't, because you would have had it gone by now if you did.
35:40If I had that gone, I wouldn't have finished my main.
35:43Is it really strong?
35:44Test it.
35:51I don't think I like it.
35:53What is that like?
35:55I'll take it.
35:56You don't like that.
35:57You don't.
36:07You should have brought it to the bathroom with you and just pour it to the toilet.
36:11Oh, I think this place is too fancy for me.
36:18We should be in a dive bar, realistically.
36:20Heidi Rockets, not the most.
36:21Heidi Rockets, my beloved.
36:22Although I have beef with the milkshakes.
36:24They've gotten smaller as the years went on.
36:26I wouldn't know that.
36:27I'm not about that like.
36:29I'm so sorry.
36:32I feel like if I ate that, I would have like...
36:34Something's exploding.
36:35Yeah, something.
36:36I have more volume in my hair than ever.
36:38I'm just straight up like Jedward's.
36:41I probably would take that anyway to the average person.
36:43Sure, I don't think I'm too far off, to be honest, as well.
36:45It's good to have individuality.
36:47I feel like when you look a bit out of the ordinary, people kind of give you like...
36:50Oh, I'm used to stars.
36:53I spent a lot of time trying to fit in.
36:55I had people being like, oh, you read books?
36:58That's so wild.
36:59Why aren't you playing football?
37:00And then I play football and they'd be like, oh, you're bad at football.
37:03School was weird.
37:05Definitely, it taught me that people can be very close-minded.
37:09But it also taught me that finding your people is so important.
37:14I was always raised to be a bit of a tough cookie.
37:17I remember one time, this is really nasty, but somebody took their...
37:24semen, to put it bluntly, and put it all over my locker.
37:30I found out who did it.
37:31So what I did, I went into the butchers the next day.
37:34I got a lamb's heart, and I put it all over their locker.
37:36And I was like, if you're going to do this, I'm going to do this.
37:38So don't mess with me.
37:41People in my school speculated for years whether or not I was trans.
37:43I didn't deny it, because I'm like, would it be so bad if I was?
37:46No, it wouldn't.
37:47But then again, I don't owe you an explanation.
37:49I hate when people are so locked into the idea that they need to know something about you.
37:54I know.
37:54I played into it.
37:55They were like, what's going on underneath there?
37:57And I'm like, come and have a look at my vagina, you know?
37:59That was me, the changing room.
38:01I just kind of laughed at all.
38:02It isn't nice, but that's just, you know, that's how life is.
38:04Some people are not going to be nice, and you just have to learn how to deal with it.
38:09Like, who cares about what anybody else thinks?
38:10Yeah.
38:11Actually, cheers.
38:12I know this is, like, way too late, but cheers.
38:15Sláinte.
38:16Sláinte.
38:17The vibes are vibing.
38:19It's such a good yap.
38:21When two yappers collide, watch out.
38:29You're not going to eat your flower.
38:31It's not edible, is it?
38:32Yeah.
38:33I have hay food.
38:35You're not allergic.
38:38If you eat them, you're not going to start sneezing.
38:40You know, my eyes swell up.
38:43It's all the work of.
38:44Better hail me.
38:45Yeah, well.
38:46What went through your mind when you saw your date?
38:50It was a bit overwhelmed with the whole situation.
38:55It just, everything just calmed down.
38:58It's after flying in all the same, isn't it?
39:00It went fast.
39:01It feels like we're only sitting down for about 10 minutes, didn't it?
39:04That's a good sign, isn't it?
39:05It is a good sign.
39:06She had a nice energy about her.
39:08We were vibing.
39:09It's definitely more to explore.
39:13I get it.
39:14No.
39:14Can we not go Dutch?
39:16No.
39:17Please.
39:17No.
39:18Well, thank you very much.
39:21Get me back one time, maybe.
39:25Would you guys like to see each other romantically again?
39:29You go first.
39:30Okay.
39:31I'd usually say ladies first, but I'll go first.
39:33Yeah.
39:34I would, yeah.
39:37For me,
39:40I think you're a really lovely guy and your sound, which was just no spark for me.
39:46Yeah.
39:46That's all right.
39:47That's okay.
39:48You're cool.
39:49You're dead cool.
39:49Yeah.
39:50I'll take that.
39:51Yeah.
39:54See you later.
39:55Nice to meet you now.
39:56Bye-bye.
39:57See ya.
39:58You're hot and all, like, you know, don't get me wrong, and your sound, you're just the spark was missing.
40:03That's cool.
40:05I would love to see you again, be mates, and maybe to give you a healing.
40:08Yeah, you can give me a healing if you want, yeah?
40:11Yeah?
40:11Definitely.
40:11It might take you a long time.
40:13I won't.
40:16Thanks a million, and I'll see you.
40:19Is there anything you would have done differently?
40:21Maybe have hearts that smashed.
40:23Oh, I'm finished.
40:30He's working dead, isn't he?
40:32Yeah, yeah.
40:33What if we just staged a really dramatic fight?
40:36Oh my God, we don't know if they keep dragging my hair out.
40:39Bligging it across the room.
40:40One of the staff members comes over next, we pretend we're just having a massive argument.
40:44I think so, too.
40:45What's the argument over, though?
40:46What are we fighting over?
40:48Chaplarone is overrated.
40:52Oh
40:52That had a string didn't it?
40:54I'm sorry everything she did is what Lady Gaga did 16 years ago. It's like art pop left overs
41:03Another glass of wine and a vodka white. Thank you so much
41:09We're currently having a mini-argument
41:11Oh, really? He thinks that chaperone is overrated. Lady Gaga wannabe. I don't think that she's Lady Gaga wannabe
41:18I'm sorry. You definitely can't settle this. Well, no, no, it's not gonna be settled
41:23Well, it's good that you can have it out. We're agreeing to disagree and that's good even though you're in
41:27the wrong
41:28We're agreeing to disagree. Do you think so?
41:33In Polish we have a little saying called tema de cerca, which basically means it's a topic that flows like
41:38a river
41:39There is no end to it. Could I partake in stealing a small bit? Of course. Go ahead. Thanks, darling.
41:44Should I just lift it across like
41:48Oh, it's close. It's very deep feeling it. You can only share with them
41:53Certain people. So how would you die in an 80s horror film? I'd flirt with the killer
41:58I would try to like get by them by flirting with them and they would just like probably chop my
42:02head off. Oh
42:04That's cute. I
42:06Spent so long even growing up trying to like plan a future
42:09But the one variable you can't plan for is love I guess if I have to choose a way to
42:13go shark attack
42:14I'd love a shark attack. That'd be funny right now. I can't plan for
42:19That part of my future if I find someone I can start to plan it
42:23I definitely have all of like the love to give I actually hope that when I'm dead
42:28Somebody either stuffs me and puts me in their living room or chops my head off a monster on a
42:32wall like a deer
42:34But I've always said it would be extremely funny if I get cremated and that's mixed into paint and it's
42:40a portrait of me
42:41Well, like not even like a nice like casual portrait like a full creepy like me and my dog in
42:46like a suit
42:46Just like staring and like it needs to be left in an attic for at least 50 years. I
42:52Would like to be a ghost
42:54Yeah
43:01Yeah
43:04My granddad he would have been a farmer now so like yes, and then my father never really like like
43:10he'd help them out
43:11But like he never really got into the farm. Yeah, like I wouldn't live on a farm or anything
43:15mind at all
43:18Farmer's wife. Mm-hmm. I wouldn't mind it
43:22What's the biggest misconception Peter do you think people have about you? I suppose that I'm just kind of stuck
43:27with the one straight path in life
43:29I went to Italy so to Rome a couple weeks ago
43:32Did you?
43:33Don't betray me a fountain too. Through coin in
43:35What's that mean?
43:36The restriction is you throw one coin in so you have to throw it from your right hand over your
43:40shoulder
43:40Okay
43:41That means you'll come back to Rome. Two coins
43:44That means you'll find love
43:46Really?
43:46And the third one is you'll get married. I should look
43:51Maybe we'll go back together, will we? Definitely
43:55Some people do leave the country and never come back
43:57That's what I kind of don't want I want to kind of quiet and explore and definitely come back
44:02I probably want someone just to do those things with as well, you know
44:06See we go over to Scotland because my mum's Scottish you see. Never been over in Scotland
44:11Come over you can come over
44:14Experience the Highlands. Oh, that's a really nice place. Yeah, we water in the way. I'll take you over
44:20Make it work
44:23Cheers to us
44:30Now I'm just gonna pop this down, okay, let you know that we'll need the table back in about ten
44:35minutes, okay, thank you
44:39So what ten minutes left, what are we gonna do with it?
44:43Make the list to it
44:45What went through your head when you saw your date for the very first time?
44:49I thought that he looked like somebody I would get along with
44:52It's my friend's birthday today. Can we send her a voice note singing happy birthday?
44:55Of course, that's the date went on. Just jowls perfectly
44:58I felt
44:59Happy birthday dear
45:02Hey
45:03Happy birthday to you. I love you
45:06We're having such a great job. It was like we were in a kebab shop at 4 a.m.
45:10You know the club bathroom chats. Yeah, I feel like that's pretty much the vibe, which I think is a
45:15very good vibe to have
45:19Would you like to see each other again romantically?
45:23Yeah
45:24Sadly, I don't think romantically. Okay right now. Why would a hundred and ten percent love to see you again?
45:30Just like hang out like literally and then from then on I'll just see where it goes. Yeah
45:38Thank you. Bye-bye. Thank you so much. Bye-bye. I
45:40Genuinely think there was a spark towards like a friendship that I'd like to explore. I feel like there possibly
45:46could be room romantically
45:52I think you know people come into your life for a reason
45:56If I just make a really good friends I make a really good friends
46:01I think we need to go on a night out and be the most insufferable people in the smoking area
46:05absolutely
46:07Terrorize everyone. I agree
46:10That's all righty. I sure
46:21I don't know you know, huh? I don't well. I would have finished up
46:26I'd be more of like a basic bitch when it comes to those things. I'm quite basic as well
46:30Well, we just can't point your rock short side or like
46:32Rock short side or like
46:34Chat away
46:35Do it's like go somewhere for drinks before you have to get the bus back. Facts
46:41I thought he ticked all the boxes on you. Jesus ladsies couldn't have done any better to be a fizz
46:46I'll get it. No, you will not. No, I will. No

47:14be a problem. Do you fancy her?
47:17Yeah, I do
47:22Once I came in her looks were just class her bubbly bubbly personality too like
47:28Pairing a few trips too like Scotland, Belfast, Donegal, Wicklow. Rome was another one too. That's right
