11:56now I'm a
11:57fan of a man in wellies and just someone that's sound out like yeah I kind of like taking the

14:06You got a strong one mean the strong cocktail
14:08We need to catch up here, you know
14:15And so last year I spent a whole year dating to date
14:19I wasn't dating for an outcome. I wasn't dating to find the husband to find a boyfriend to do any
14:24of this
14:24I think when you put that pressure on yourself and the universe
14:28It's a lot of pressure to put on someone you just started talking for the first time in my opinion
14:31It's a stranger
14:32I just love to know that somebody has their own life because I am a busy girl
14:35The nine-to-five has never worked for me
14:37I'm more of a like I'll work on a Saturday and a Sunday and a Monday and I might take
14:40Tuesday off for myself
14:41My work we start on Wednesday because I work nice so tomorrow morning I'm gonna go to gym
14:45I want to chill out I want to go to sleep before work
14:48Next morning I'm going to go to gym after work
14:49You know like you just I like I just like routine like I know what I'm gonna do for the
14:52week
14:52You kind of have to
14:54Yeah
14:55So where do you have time in your life for a woman then?
14:58I can make time if they're if it's the right woman I can make time
15:04Have you ever dated anyone with kids or anything like that?
15:06No
15:08Do you have kids?
15:10No
15:10Do you?
15:11I have three
15:14Wow
15:15Two girls and one boy
15:18What age are they?
15:19Ten
15:20Seven
15:20She's gonna be eight one actually
15:22Oh
15:22And then my little boy he's only five
15:24Oh
15:25Yeah
15:26Yeah
15:26So do you co-parent?
15:27Oh yeah
15:28Yeah
15:28Like we get on really well
15:29Like she's such a good mother like
15:31Yeah
15:31So I have a lot to live off
15:32They are very good their mom does a very good job with them
15:36That's
15:36It's great like
15:38Except for maybe like when you have to shower them their hair
15:41I don't do a really good job with their hair
15:42When a mom does it it's perfect
15:44And I just can't I just can't get it like and I'll try my best
15:47I'll try my best
15:48I've been singing like what four years now
15:50I've gone five years
15:51Like no one's ever met my kids like I don't I wouldn't feel comfortable
15:53interested in my kids to anyone unless like
15:55Unless they were so right
15:57Yeah
15:57But then obviously they can't be difficult like for example if I see like I'm into someone and stuff
16:01Obviously I let them know like because kids are like a big part of my life
16:05You were quite young having kids
16:07I was like 20
16:0921 and 21 my first year in college
16:10I moved out when I was 16
16:15Oh you had you had the baby and all so you had to like you've got your own place did
16:18you just
16:18Yeah
16:19Just an apartment yeah
16:20Yeah
16:21I'd say that was a shock to the system
16:22Two 16 year olds
16:23I don't know it all just walked out that way
16:27The day Jamie's born and he got handed to me
16:30Yeah something just
16:32Switched like so I literally became a man at 16
16:39I don't know what I'm saying
16:39Are you going to cook?
16:40Yeah I like cooking
16:42Yeah I don't like cooking
16:43Involved too much for me
16:44Do you mind cleaning up?
16:45No I have OCD so I don't clean it
16:47Yeah so do I
16:48Yeah I have OCD
16:51ADHD I have autism I have ecolia
16:54I only got diagnosed in 22
16:57I thought it would be life-changing but it kind of made my whole life make sense
17:02You like that like big crowds and stuff you need to be chill a bit
17:06Yeah yeah yeah
17:07Like this pub full of people I can hear like every conversation going on
17:11Yeah
17:11Some people say why don't you go
17:12And I'm like it's just kind of open anymore
17:14It's just too overwhelming
17:16Yeah I very rarely go out so it's very hard to meet someone
17:19Have you ever been on a blind date?
17:22Like this
17:22Same
17:23I was at a blind Debs
17:24Huh?
17:26My friend Rob rang and he was like my friend's boys after breaking up on the Debs
17:29It's tonight will you come and I was like all right
17:31Okay
17:32It was actually just that he spent the whole night crying trying to come back with his ex
17:35It's kind of lovely
17:36Yeah
17:36But I still had a great night
17:45Get down to you now will you?
17:47Don't you rush me in us
17:50My house was like mad this morning just for everyone trying to help me like

17:57How many is in your family?
17:59Six
17:59Six children yeah

18:03I'm the youngest
18:03Oh you're the youngest?
18:04Yeah
18:04Oh class
18:06My siblings would be like Jesus like when you're going to find a fella and like I just
18:10To be honest I don't know when is a fella going to find me really like that thing
18:14I'm not so bad I'm an only child so
18:16Are you?

18:22We have to do all the chores all the farm work you're at the hard labour see
18:27So is it just sheep you do or is it like
18:29Sheep on sheep on cattle

19:01Muff?
19:03I was just kind of cutting him many times when he was saying Muff.
19:06Five times.
19:07Did you actually count it?
19:09LAUGHTER
19:16David is all set to be the life and soul of the party.
19:21He just loves a big deal.
19:24Oh, oh, oh, woke up today
19:26Most 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 start eating my hair on my own.
19:37I used to fry my hair, I used to watch it sizzle.
19:40I 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, Baltimore
19:54You look good.
19:56It's very 80s, I love it.
19:58Funky, funky.
19:58This isn't a love, 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 you. I mean, how can you not like this? This is class.
20:14Well, some people do find my personality a bit intimidating.
20:17Well, then they're not for you.
20:18That's the thing.
20:18You know, that's it.
20:19I'm not willing to tame myself for anybody.
20:20And nobody ever should.
20:25Hiya.
20:28Carl has learned how to make quality connections by transmitting on his own unique frequency.
20:37I grew up with being labelled, oh, you're the weird kid.
20:41But then I found more people who were, like, on my wavelength.
20:48As we got older, we realised a lot of people might not like you, but that's okay.
20:56Find friends who do and stick with them instead.
21:01Oh, fuck.
21:05I know, it's tricky.
21:06I knew I'd overthink the door.
21:08It doesn't matter.
21:08Perfection is boring, you know.
21:09I usually do like someone that's, like, really goofy and laid back.
21:13And has kind of a more unique vibe.
21:15This walk here, it's like, what's happening?
21:18I was just walking down, being like, okay, all I have to do is just open the door, and then
21:22I pulled the wrong door.
21:23And you know what?
21:24I've already made that mistake.
21:25So now, if anything else happens, it's fine.
21:28It is.
21:29Worst comes to worst, this is, like, a great Tinder bio.
21:32As featured on.
21:34Hiya, darling.
21:35How are you?
21:36Davis.
21:36Nice to meet you.
21:37Nice to meet you.
21:38How are you doing?
21:39I'm well.
21:40You're nervous?
21:41Yeah.
21:42Listen, I don't bite, so.
21:43You're safe.
21:51I mean, your hair's gorgeous, to be fair.
21:56I think you have to be very happy in yourself and satisfied with yourself before you get involved with other
22:00people.
22:00It's true.
22:01You have to set boundaries with people as well.
22:03Did you say set boundaries?
22:03Yeah, you have to set boundaries with people.
22:04We love the boundaries that in Cain.
22:07They definitely did, in, like, past relationships, allow someone to overstep my boundaries a lot.
22:12And I became, like, this little 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.
22:26I've never had a therapy session in my life, though.
22:27Really?
22:28Never.
22:28I think absolutely everybody can benefit from therapy.
22:31I 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.
22:36Like, I remember my dad, he actually passed away in 2020.
22:40I didn't tell my ex at the time when he passed away.
22:43I didn't tell her for a couple of weeks.
22:45He used to live in England, so we had to bring the body back.
22:47So by the time everything was sorted, obviously, I said it to her then.
22:50But I do believe a man does have to be strong, but I should be able to open up at
22:55the 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 a lot.
23:05Because they're bringing out another side of you as well.
23:08As much as I am secure and happy single, there's other times where you're just like,
23:13when am I going to meet my person?
23:15I'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 chip.
23:23It's all good.
23:24You call me bro.
23:27No, no, I said you can have it, though.
23:30Oh, I thought you were like, you have bro?
23:31No.
23:33Maybe I did.
23:33Am I your bro?
23:34Maybe I did.
23:35I'm cute.
23:36No, no, but it's just, that's just the way I talk to literally everyone.
23:40It's just rolls out of my tongue all the time.
23:42But, no, you're not my bro.
23:45You're...
23:48I'm...
23:49You're a nice person.
23:50You're a nice girl.
23:52You're a nice girl.
23:53You're nice, too.
23:54I appreciate that.
23:56I was very pleased when I saw you.
23:58And, obviously, if you're a very shy person, like, yeah, it's actually been great.
24:01Like, you know, honestly, I've had a good time.
24:03Cheers.
24:04Cheers.
24:08She'd be my type.
24:09Yeah, she's pretty.
24:11She's a good energy about her.
24:12Cool.
24:13We're off to a flyer, then, so.
24:14Perfect.
24:15It's a love to hear.
24:15So far, so good.
24:17Fingers crossed for me, man.
24:18He's a really nice guy, and he's really hot-like.
24:21The conversation has flown.
24:25Yeah, it's flown, but 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, dear, listen.
24:34He goes, what you do?
24:35And I said, an energy healer.
24:36He goes, we'll get the heart, and we'll smash it, and 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, and I'll say, listen, no chit-chat, but if I go
24:51to the toilet, you can pass on a message, then.
24:54I could get messages for someone sitting three tables away, so if I hear someone saying their
24:58name, if I go in and someone says, oh, hi, Sarah, and I'd be like, this is Sarah what
25:04the message is for, so I'll say, here, listen, by the way, I was in the toilet, and Mary
25:07said, your chain is under your pillow.
25:10Do you know what I mean?
25:12Now, we have two wines.
25:14Oh, I love it.
25:15Yeah, perfect.
25:15Thanks, Amelia.
25:15Popping in there.
25:16Thank you so much.
25:17One for the lady.
25:18Oh, you're very good.
25:20And one for the gentleman.
25:21Thank you very much.
25:23You look lovely in the yellow.
25:24Thanks very much.
25:26You're welcome.
25:27I actually do, yeah.
25:29Well, I know if you're fancying your date.
25:31If I'm kind of outgoing, smiling, say, it can be a bit awkward as well.
25:35That's definitely another one now.
25:39How do you hold it in the glass of wine?
25:41Like, do you?
25:45What?
25:46That's...
25:46Why do you have to hold it like this, do you?
25:48No, just hold it like that.
25:49If I was trying to flirt, like, I'm just going up and taking the piss out with someone, really.
25:54My hands are that delicate, you know, like...
25:56They're not that big, like, you don't need to grasp the glass.
25:59My friends say my hands are, like, sandpaper.
26:02Like, the feel of it, just sandpaper.
26:04Your hands aren't even that big, like...
26:06Are they, like, sandpaper like that?
26:08Like...
26:08They're not that bad.
26:11I'm doing nothing.
26:13Stop it right now.
26:18I'm shit-awkward.
26:19I'm locked as intolerant.
26:20So far.
26:21IBS girlies rise up.
26:23I'm not allergic.
26:24I think I'm just such a picky eater.
26:26Jiggin' nuggets, chips.
26:27Maybe beans.
26:28My family's Polish, and I go there.
26:29Polish food is so, like...
26:31Oh, it's just...
26:32It's, like, cold chicken inside, like, gelatin.
26:35Like, it's all, like, communist era in 1980s.
26:37Like, I like the 80s, but that was, like, Poland.
26:38It was not good, so...
26:39I'm blessed.
26:40If somebody doesn't get my sense of humor,
26:43it can be very dry and very sarcastic.
26:45We are dead in the water.
26:46I love bantering with people.
26:48That's, like, my love language.
26:49Oh, I'm a yapper.
26:49Pro-yapper.
26:50I love your accent, by the way.
26:51Where are you from?
26:52Uh, Ballymun.
26:52Really?
26:53Yeah, where are you from?
26:54From Duncan.
26:55Oh, fair enough.
26:56Opposite ends of the torteen.
26:57Rest in peace, the torteen.
27:00I'm proud of where I'm from.
27:01I hate when people kind of have, like,
27:03a lesser-than mentality.
27:05I went to college at DCU,
27:06and people were, like,
27:06oh, I live in a student accommodation in Ballymun.
27:08It's such a dive.
27:09And I'm, like, oh, I'm from there.
27:10They're like, oh, oh, and 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.
27:16Oh, it 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,
27:26do a bit of a jump across the stage
27:28and land on his ankle?
27:29Oh.
27:29They said, grand,
27:31and got back up anyways.
27:32I used to be a competitive dancer,
27:34and I did that same mistake.
27:36I landed, like,
27:36I sprained my ankle on stage.
27:38Oh, man.
27:38I sat out for a month.
27:39Covid came around by the time I healed,
27:40and I just never went back to it.
27:42Oh, 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 and quite loud, even.
27:49Like, I very much fit to build my friends
27:51and being, like, annoying theater kids.
27:53What'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
27:59do your best impression of a dinosaur.
28:00I'd be like,
28:01I want someone that,
28:03if I was, like, on an Iowa
28:04on the way to the bus stop,
28:05we would start a really annoying
28:07sing song down the road.
28:08My friend in Scotland
28:10got a noise complaint.
28:11So screaming, like,
28:13a version of my Madonna
28:13while walking down the street
28:14to her apartment after a night out.
28:16That's just, that's my role.
28:17I can't sing for the life of me.
28:18To be fair,
28:19it seems like you're the dancer
28:20and I'm the singer,
28:20so we make one good theater performance.
28:23I think so.
28:24Yeah.
28:24We can do this.
28:27He's lovely.
28:28He's from Waterford.
28:30Go on, Munster.
28:31And are you finished eating?
28:33Yeah, I'm done.
28:33I think she's someone
28:34that shapes us.
28:34I'm not 100% sure.
28:35I'll leave it in case.
28:36I'll just leave that there
28:36for her a few months.
28:37Yeah, and I'll come back in a bit.
28:39Thank you very much.
28:40Not at all.
28:45Did you put more chips on my plate
28:46while I was gone?
28:47I thought you would do.
28:48I don't want to have it.
28:49Like, you can have it, though.
28:50I don't mind.
28:50That was really sweet
28:51that you did that
28:51when I was gone.
28:52I'm not a good one.
28:53Thanks.
28:54Yay.
29:02You going away this year?
29:03Or have you been away?
29:06I haven't been away this year.
29:08No.
29:08I was away last year.
29:09I was in Morocco.
29:10Oh, so was I.
29:11I actually went in October.
29:13I went on my own.
29:13It was the first time
29:14going away on my own ever.
29:15I've been away on my own
29:16a couple of times, yeah.
29:17Yeah, enjoy it.
29:18What's most important
29:20to you in a partner?
29:21I suppose someone
29:22who doesn't mind
29:22talking about their feelings
29:23and communicating.
29:25Have everything on the table,
29:26basically.
29:27What's your work at?
29:28I work in, like,
29:30a supermarket.
29:31Oh, right.
29:31But, uh,
29:32studying acting in gaiety.
29:34I'm doing a part-time.
29:35Okay.
29:36For the last year,
29:37I've been focusing
29:38on myself
29:39and building myself
29:40who kind of had
29:41a big life event last year
29:43that kind of just put
29:44everything into perspective.
29:46My father passed away.
29:47Heart attack.
29:48What was your heart attack?
29:50She's 65.
29:51Oh, very young.
29:52Unexpected for you.
29:53Yeah, totally unexpected, she.
29:55Oh, how'd you hear that?
29:57It was hard to digest for a while.
30:00I thought it was kind of
30:00going to derail me,
30:02but it just drove me
30:03to pursue things
30:05that I've wanted to pursue.
30:06I remember doing speech and drama
30:08at school when I was a kid and all.
30:09I've always wanted to try the acting.
30:11Never had the confidence
30:12to go for it.
30:13Done a bit of soul searching
30:14and went back
30:15and it was just like,
30:16something just clicked in me head.
30:19It was like,
30:19he left all his strength with me,
30:21so he got owe it to him
30:23to just put myself out there now
30:24and go for teams.
30:25So you must have been real,
30:26already coming on this
30:27if you're used to kind of acting now?
30:29No, it's different
30:30like when you have a script
30:31and stuff,
30:32you know what I do.
30:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:33It's just different
30:34because this is real in there.
30:35Yeah, yeah, yeah,
30:36you just have to wing it.
30:37Yeah.
30:38So far, so good.
30:39Yeah.
30:40So what did you ask for?
30:42Yeah, brown eyes,
30:43brown hair,
30:44nice teeth,
30:46good personality,
30:47up for a bit of crack.
30:49Yeah, the crack has some must,
30:50doesn't it?
30:51Mm-hmm.
30:54Enjoy this?
30:55No, do you want something?
30:56No, I'm really liking this.
30:57Oh, okay.
30:58Plus, it ate all your chips.
30:59I don't mind, you can.
31:02How well you are.
31:04Easy now.
31:07I had a really good time here.
31:08Tasha was really good looking.
31:10So you didn't stop that challenge
31:11literally the whole way
31:12till the day.
31:12It was really nice, though.
31:13That's way too much
31:14strawberry for me, bro.
31:15You don't like sweet things?
31:16I do like sweet things.
31:18I'm here with you, though.
31:19I don't like sweet things.
31:22Damn it, you took my line
31:23right from under me.
31:26Would you like to see
31:27each other again?
31:29Yeah, he's lovely,
31:30for sure.
31:31I think we have a lot more
31:32to talk about.
31:33Oh, 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.
31:39No, I definitely
31:39would like to see you again,
31:40yeah.
31:41Bye, Max.
31:42His dress is really nice.
31:46That was great fun.
31:48He's so, so sweet.
31:49I really like his
31:50mindset, I think.
31:52Like, he's very mature
31:53and super kind person.
31:56Conversation's slowing,
31:57I think.
31:57Yeah.
31:58You just match him in
31:59and he didn't want that.
32:04You're an interesting
32:06conversationalist.
32:06Oh, I do.
32:07But you can't say
32:07about all men.
32:09Oh, well.
32:09Yeah, that's okay.
32:13Aw, cute.
32:15I just might.
32:34It's actually going really well.
32:36Is he like farming?
32:37He is a farmer, yeah.
32:39He has his own farm and all, yeah.
32:43This man, you are going to love
32:45and we are going to bring to the George.
32:46How's it going so far?
32:47It's going really good.
32:48We 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 just I 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
33:09and I'm like, oh my God, oh my God,
33:10like I can't do this, I can't do this.
33:11And I just kind of like
33:11shut 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.
33:18It's the usual stuff you're talking about on a first date.
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
33:27I'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,
33:36I'm just going to avoid it.
33:37I'm definitely getting more of like
33:40friendship 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.
33:54I'm sure, did you even come to the restaurant
33:56if you didn't have chocolate heart, you know?
33:59You're very welcome.
34:00Enjoy it.
34:01Oh, it's so cute.
34:03Crack it and then she goes on the heel.
34:04It looks so cute.
34:09Oh.
34:14It's not hard.
34:16It's soft.
34:20It's okay.
34:23Now I am very upset.
34:27Because in my head,
34:28it just tastes different.
34:32Comparisons to pay for joy.
34:38What's that supposed to be?
34:40What is that?
34:41I don't know what.
34:45Oh, 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.
34:52I specialise potatoes.
34:52You call potatoes as well.
34:54Specialising, yeah.
34:55Jesus, you're flat out of energy.
34:57I'm more or less busy.
34:5924-7.
35:00Between firemen,
35:01playing my football,
35:02playing my hurling.
35:04A lot of fatigue
35:05kind of kicks in with that as well.
35:07Like,
35:08I did struggle with mental health.
35:10You can imagine the stress,
35:12the anxiety,
35:13everything that goes on in your head.
35:16I did take a step back.
35:18And like,
35:19having an outside life
35:20and kind of those friendships
35:21can help them with mental health.
35:24That's what I kind of learned
35:25from that experience.
35:29Oh,
35:30that is strong,
35:32I'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.
35:38Because you would have had it gone by now
35:39if you did.
35:40If I had that gone,
35:42I wouldn't have finished my meal.
35:43Is it really strong?
35:44Taste it.
35:55I'll take it.
35:56You don't like that.
35:57You don't want it.
36:01You gave him nothing.
36:04Say no.
36:05Say no.
36:07You should have brought it to the bathroom with you
36:09and just poured it into time.
36:16I think this piece is too fancy for me.
36:18We should be in a dive bar,
36:19realistically.
36:20Lady Rockets are the most.
36:21Lady Rockets, my beloved.
36:22Although I am,
36:23I have beef with the milkshakes.
36:24They've gotten smaller
36:25as the years went on.
36:26I wouldn't know that.
36:27I'm not about that.
36:29I'm so sorry.
36:32I feel like if I ate that,
36:33I would have like...
36:34Something's exploding.
36:35Yeah, something.
36:36I have more volume in my hair than ever.
36:38I would just stand straight up like Jedward's.
36:41I probably would take that anyway
36:42to the average person.
36:43Sure, I don't think I'm too far off,
36:45to be honest.
36:45It's good to have individuality.
36:47I feel like when you look a bit
36:48out of the ordinary,
36:49people kind of give you like...
36:50Oh, I'm used to stairs.
36:53I spent a lot of time
36:54trying to fit in
36:55and have people being like,
36:57oh, you read books?
36:58That's so wild.
36:59Why aren't you playing football?
37:00And then I play football
37:01and they'd be like,
37:02oh, you're bad at football.
37:03School was weird.
37:06Definitely, it taught me
37:07that people can be very close-minded.
37:09But it also taught me
37:10that finding your people
37:13is so important.
37:15I was always raised
37:16to be a bit of a tough cookie.
37:17I remember one time,
37:18this is really nasty,
37:20but somebody took their...
37:24semen,
37:25to put it bluntly,
37:27and put it all over my locker.
37:30I found out who did it.
37:31So what I did,
37:32I went into the butchers the next day,
37:34I got a lamb's heart
37:35and I put it all over their locker
37:36and I was like,
37:37if you're going to do this,
37:37I'm going to do this.
37:38So don't mess with me.
37:41People in my school
37:41speculated for years
37:42whether or not I was trans.
37:43I didn't deny it
37:44because I'm like,
37:45would it be so bad if I was?
37:47No, it wouldn't.
37:47But then again,
37:48I don't owe you an explanation.
37:49I hate when people
37:50are so locked into the idea
37:52that they need
37:53to know something about you.
37:54I know.
37:54I played into it.
37:55They were like,
37:56what's going on underneath there?
37:57And I'm like,
37:57come and have a look
37:58at my vagina.
37:59You know?
37:59That was me in the changing room.
38:01I just kind of laughed at all.
38:02It isn't nice,
38:03but that's how life is.
38:04Some people are not going to be nice
38:05and you just have to learn
38:06how to deal with it.
38:09Like, who cares
38:09what anybody else thinks?
38:10Yeah.
38:11Actually, cheers.
38:12I know this is like
38:14way too late,
38:14but cheers.
38:15Sláinte.
38:16Sláinte.
38:17The vibes are vibing.
38:19It's such a good yap.
38:21When two yappers collide,
38:23watch out.
38:29You're not going to eat
38:30your flour?
38:31It's not edible, is it?
38:32Yeah.
38:33I have hay food.
38:35You're not allergic, though.
38:38If you eat them,
38:39you're not going to start
38:39sneezing or anything.
38:41You know,
38:41I always swell up.
38:43That's all your fault.
38:44Better heal me.
38:45Yeah, I will.
38:47What went through your mind
38:48when you saw your date?
38:50It was a bit
38:52overwhelmed
38:52with the whole
38:54situation,
38:55but it just,
38:56everything just
38:57calmed down.
38:58It's after flying in
38:59all the time, isn't it?
39:00It went fast.
39:01It feels like we're only
39:02sitting down for about
39:03ten 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
39:07about her.
39:08We were vibing.
39:09It's definitely more
39:10to explore.
39:13I'll get it.
39:14No.
39:14Can we not go Dutch?
39:16No.
39:17Please.
39:18Well, thank you very much.
39:21Get me back one time,
39:22maybe.
39:25Would you guys like to
39:26see each other romantically
39:27again?
39:29You go first.
39:30Okay.
39:31I'd usually say ladies
39:32first, but I'll go first.
39:33Yeah.
39:34I would, yeah.
39:37For me,
39:40I think you're a really
39:41lovely guy
39:42and your sound,
39:43which was just no
39:44spark for me.
39:46Okay.
39:46That's all right.
39:47That's okay.
39:48You're cool.
39:49You're dead cool.
39:50Yeah.
39:50I'll take that.
39:51Yeah.
39:54See you later.
39:56Bye.
39:57See ya.
39:58You're hot and all.
39:59No, don't get me wrong.
40:00And your sound,
40:01just the spark was missing.
40:03That's cool.
40:05I would love to see you
40:06again, be mates
40:07and maybe to give you
40:08a healing.
40:09Yeah, you can give me
40:10a healing if you want to.
40:11Might take you a long time.
40:13I won't.
40:16Thanks a million.
40:17And I'll see you.
40:19Is there anything
40:20you would have done
40:20differently?
40:21Maybe have hearts
40:22that smashed.
40:33What if we just
40:34staged a really
40:35dramatic fight?
40:36Oh my God,
40:36we showed, like,
40:37you drag my hair out.
40:39Pulling it across the room.
40:40One of the staff members
40:41comes over next,
40:41we pretend we're
40:42just having a massive
40:42argument.
40:45What's the argument
40:46over, though?
40:46What are we fighting
40:47over?
40:48Chaplarone is overrated.
40:52Oh, that had a
40:53string, didn't it?
40:54I'm sorry.
40:55Everything she did
40:56is what Lady Gaga did.
40:5716 years ago.
40:58It's like,
40:58our pop leftovers.
40:59We'd like Chaplarone.
41:02Wow.
41:03Another glass of wine
41:04and a vodka white.
41:06Thank you so much.
41:09We're currently
41:10having a mini-argument
41:11over it.
41:12Oh, really?
41:12He thinks that Chaplarone
41:13is overrated.
41:14Lady Gaga wannabe.
41:15I don't think
41:16that she's Lady Gaga wannabe.
41:18And sadly,
41:19you definitely
41:20can't settle this,
41:21but...
41:21No.
41:21No, it's not
41:22going to be settled.
41:23No, but it's fine.
41:24Well, it's good
41:24that you can have it out.
41:25We're agreeing to disagree.
41:26And that's good.
41:27Even though you're
41:27in the wrong,
41:28we're agreeing to disagree.
41:29Do you think so?
41:33In Polish,
41:34we have a little saying
41:34called Tema Dzieka,
41:35which basically means
41:37it's a topic
41:38that flows like a river.
41:39There is no end to it.
41:40Could I partake in
41:41stealing a small bit?
41:42Of course.
41:42Go ahead.
41:43Thanks, darling.
41:44Should I just lift it across like...
41:48Oh, that's nice.
41:49It's very deep feeling.
41:51You can only share with certain people.
41:54So how would you die in an 80s horror film?
41:57I'd flirt with the killer.
41:58I would try to get by them by flirting with them.
42:01And they would just like probably chop my head off.
42:03Aww.
42:04That's cute.
42:06I've spent so long even growing up
42:07trying to like plan a future.
42:09But the one variable you can't plan for is love, I guess.
42:12If I have to choose a way to go,
42:13shark attack.
42:15I'd love a shark attack.
42:16That'd be funny.
42:17Right now, I can't plan for that part of my future.
42:21If I find someone, I can start to plan it.
42:24I definitely have all of like the love to give.
42:26I actually hope that when I'm dead,
42:28somebody either stuffs me
42:29and puts me in their living room
42:30or chops my head off
42:31and mounts it on a wall like a deer.
42:34I've always said it would be extremely funny
42:37if I get cremated
42:38and that's mixed into paint
42:39and it's a portrait of me.
42:41But like not even like a nice like casual portrait.
42:44Like full creepy.
42:45Like me and my dog in like a suit
42:46just like staring
42:47and like it needs to be left in an attic
42:49for at least 50 years.
42:52I would like to be a ghost.
42:54Yeah.
43:04My granddad, he would have been a farmer now.
43:07Oh, really?
43:08Yes.
43:08And then my father never really like,
43:10like he'd help them out
43:11but like he never really got into the farm.
43:12Yeah.
43:13Like I wouldn't live on a farm or anything.
43:15I wouldn't mind it though.
43:18Barmer's wife.
43:18Mmm, I wouldn't mind it.
43:22What's the biggest misconception, Peter,
43:24do you think people have about you?
43:25I 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 of weeks ago.
43:32Did you?
43:33I'm on the Trevi Fountain too.
43:34Through coin in.
43:35What's that mean?
43:36The description is,
43:37you throw one coin in,
43:38so you have to throw it from your right hand
43:40over your shoulder.
43:41Okay.
43:41That means you'll come back to Rome.
43:43Two coins,
43:44that means you'll find love.
43:46Really?
43:46And the third one is,
43:48you'll get married.
43:49Ah, sure, look.
43:51Maybe we'll go back together, will we?
43:53Definitely.
43:55Some people do leave the country
43:56and never come back.
43:57That's what I kind of don't want.
43:58I want to kind of go out and explore
44:00and definitely come back.
44:02I probably want someone
44:03just to do those things with as well,
44:05you know?
44:06See, we go over to Scotland
44:08because my mum's Scottish, you see.
44:10Never been over in Scotland.
44:11Come over.
44:12You can come over.
44:13I'm worried, will I?
44:14Experience the Highlands.
44:15Oh, it's a really nice place.
44:16Is it?
44:17We'll go there, will we?
44:19I'll dig you over.
44:21I'll make it work.
44:23Cheers to us.
44:24Cheers to us!
44:30Now, I'm just going to pop this down
44:32and let you know that
44:33we'll need the table back
44:34in about ten minutes.
44:35Okay, perfect.
44:39So, what?
44:40Ten minutes left.
44:40What are we going to do with it?
44:43Make it a little strip.
44:45What went through your head
44:46when you saw your date
44:47for the very first time?
44:49I thought that he looked like somebody
44:50that I would get along with.
44:52It's my friend's birthday today.
44:53Aw.
44:53Can we send her a voice note
44:55singing happy birthday?
44:56Of course.
44:56As the date went on,
44:57just gels perfectly.
44:59Happy birthday, dear Tala.
45:02Hey!
45:03Happy birthday to you.
45:05I love you.
45:06We're having such a great chat.
45:08It was like we were in a kebab shop
45:09at 4am.
45:10You know, the club bathroom chats.
45:12Yeah.
45:12I feel like that's pretty much the vibe,
45:14which I think is a very good vibe to have.
45:19Would you like to see each other again romantically?
45:23Yeah.
45:24Sadly, I don't think romantically.
45:26Okay.
45:27Right now, I would 110% love to see you again,
45:30just like hang out.
45:32Like literally.
45:33And then from then on,
45:34obviously I'd be happy to see where it goes.
45:36A pleasure to have you.
45:37Bye.
45:38Bye-bye.
45:38Thank you so much.
45:39Bye-bye.
45:40I genuinely think there was a spark towards
45:42like a friendship that I'd like to explore.
45:44I feel like there possibly could be real romantically.
45:47So find your people, find your tribe.
45:52I think, you know, people come into your life for a reason.
45:56If I just make a really good friend,
45:58I make a really good friend.
46:01I think we need to go on a night out
46:02and be the most insufferable people in the smoking area.
46:06Absolutely terrorise everyone.
46:08I agree.
46:10Yeah, Dublin's not ready.
46:12I fear.
46:12Oh, sadly not.
46:14Christ.
46:21I done well, you know.
46:23Huh?
46:23I done well.
46:25I wouldn't have finished that.
46:26I'd be more of like a basic bitch
46:28when it comes to those things.
46:29See, I'm quite basic as well.
46:30Well, we just get a pint of Rockshores and I either like...
46:33Rockshores and I have a pint of Chataway.
46:35That I do is like...
46:36What?
46:37Go somewhere for drinks
46:38before you have to get the bus back.
46:40Facts.
46:41I thought he ticked all the boxes on you.
46:43Jesus, lads.
46:44He's couldn't have done any better to be a fizz.
46:46I'll get it.
46:47No, you will not.
46:48No, I won't.
46:48No.
46:49Don't let this turn into my father's head episode now,
46:51you, Mrs. Doyle and our friend.
46:53I might be up at Donegal shearing sheep, yeah.
46:56You never know.
46:57I'll revolut you later, right?
47:00Would you like to see each other again romantically?
47:03I'd say yes.
47:05Definitely.
47:06I would too.
47:06I would say yeah, too.
47:07Yeah.
47:08Yeah.
47:10I'll have to get your number so I can revolut you.
47:12No, that's not going to be a problem.
47:13That's not going to be a problem.
47:15Do you fancy her?
47:17Yeah, I do.
47:22Once I came in, her looks were just class.
47:25Her bubbly personality, too.
47:27Like, preparing a few trips, too.
47:29Like, Scotland, Belfast, Donegal, Wicklow.
47:33Rome was another one, too.
47:34Oh, there could be more added to the list, really.
47:39I'd take you up to a championship match.
47:40I can imagine you on the sideline just cheering me on.
47:43What are you doing?
47:44Keep on going.
47:45Love is like a butterfly.
47:47See you at the wedding.
47:48There'll be three balls of football special to everyone.
47:50Yeah, hello.
47:53After you.
47:53After you.
47:57After you.
48:05We can crash a pub quiz.
48:07Crash a team that we don't know on the pub quiz and make sure they lose.
48:10Yeah.
48:11Yeah.
48:21I had a good time.
48:22A great time.
48:23People who live in Munster are great, so, you know.
48:25That's actually very true.
48:39Oh, I'd love to give you a healing.
48:41I'm down for that.
48:42Yeah.
48:43I have to see a bone of that.
48:44Yeah.
49:01I was able to take a bit of steak as well, anyway.
49:05I'm well-used in the football.
49:07So, yeah.
49:08Could it be magic now?
49:11Now.
49:13Now we'll hold our fast.
49:17Could this be the magic at last?
