00:09It's fine, it's cool
00:12If you say that we ain't nothing but you know the truth
00:17Then guess I'm the fool
00:20With your arms out like an angel through the dark sunroof
00:26And I cry, it's not fair
00:29I just need a little love and I just need a little air
00:35Think I'm gonna call it art, even if you call it love
00:39I just love someone who calls me, baby
00:42You can crush on the poison bars
00:46Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
00:50You can change just the way you are
00:55Make a new excuse for the stupid reason
00:59Good luck for you
01:01Well, good luck for you
01:02You're out to stop the world
01:05Just to stop the feeling
01:07Good luck for you
01:08Well, good luck for you
01:11You're out to stop the world
01:13Just to stop the feeling
01:31With a killer attitude and a badass role
01:35You may be shocked to learn that Lisa's terribly nice
01:39Do you think you're a good date?
01:41I'm unreal
01:41What are you talking about?
01:45And I'm sound, aren't I?
01:47I've no ill intention towards any human
01:48And I just want everybody to have a time to be happy
01:51Like the feeling can't hold us
01:54Like the feeling can't hold us
01:56Yeah, girl
02:01Another one
02:02No
02:05My God
02:08Pleasure to meet you
02:09Pleasure to meet you too, brother
02:10You definitely brought positivity and style
02:14I'll remember
02:15I've been described as a hit of dopamine
02:17Because I'm so hyper
02:19But I've also been described as a wrecked head
02:23This is your place
02:24This is like a video coming to do a UFC fight or something
02:27Everybody's just square up to me here
02:32My man
02:33I'm like Barbara
02:34I don't love it or you have it
02:36So tell me, tell me what you're looking for
02:39Are you Jacobite?
02:41This is your date, I'm afraid
02:43I mean, I requested something a little different
02:46Do you have any sense?
02:49Strategy on the date
02:50No, I'm an absolute mess
02:57No baking
02:58Stop it
02:59Yeah
03:00You're embarrassing me
03:06Magic
03:07If it's in the air
03:09Boo will sense it
03:14I need to feel
03:16The attraction
03:20It's more of an energy for me
03:22I think an energy can be more attractive than how someone looks
03:29It's really the vibe when I meet them
03:31With me
03:39Be your
03:40Hi there
03:40Hi, how are you?
03:41Hey, boo
03:42Good to see you again
03:44Thank you
03:45You're a little bit nervous?
03:46A little bit
03:47Yeah, okay
03:47Stay here with me
03:48We'll put you at the end
03:49And then I'll get you there
03:50Okay
03:51I think I'd like someone who is open-minded
03:54Someone who I can be myself with
03:57And who's comfortable being themselves
03:59Someone who's just confident and really well assured of themselves
04:02Hiya
04:03Hiya, how are you?
04:04How are you?
04:04Lovely to meet you
04:05You too

04:23That's so nice
04:24Thank you
04:25Hi, how are you?
04:26Hiya, how are you?
04:27This is Boo
04:27Betty, you were here before
04:29If I was here before
04:30Would you like a drink?
04:32What was someone I had last time?
04:34It's got a love potion, was it?
04:35Love potion, absolutely
04:36Yes, please
04:36Thank you
04:38Here
04:38Are the chips chunky in here?
04:47You'll be too busy chatting
04:48You won't care about the chips
04:55Not every love song is a duet
04:58Ask Dermit
05:00He's a one-man band
05:05Shameless more of the trends at Venn
05:09I'm just kind of a one-man show
05:10There's becky tracks on the keyboard
05:12So you have speakers, microphones
05:14All the other crackers
05:15The gear isn't nothing too fancy
05:17But it gets the job though
05:25What's your name?
05:25How are you?
05:26Dermot
05:26Dermot, nice to meet you
05:27Where's the accent from?
05:28Cork
05:29North Cork
05:30I'm from Reiling
05:31A small village in North Cork
05:33It's actually the highest village in Ireland
05:35What brings you on?
05:36Hopeless romantic
05:37Well, look, there's no such as a hopeless romantic
05:39There has to be hope somewhere
05:41I will try it over
05:41I'd like someone that's good Craig
05:43Someone from the country
05:45If it was possible
05:46I'd be more able to have a conversation with them
05:48Because they'd kind of get what
05:49They'd get what I'm on about
05:52Where Shannon comes from
05:54Life isn't just sweet
05:56It's sweeter by a country mile
06:00I'm from Tornavola
06:01So it's a small village in West Limerick
06:04And it's actually the longest village in Ireland
06:07I do like someone who is a bit of a culty
06:12Towny people
06:13They just don't have the same personality
06:15That a culty person would have
06:19Hi there
06:19Hello
06:20Well, look at you
06:21Hi
06:22What a nice dress you have
06:23Thanks so much
06:24How are you keeping?
06:25Good
06:25A bit nervous, yeah
06:26But okay, that's Paul's too nervous
06:28Here we go now
06:29This is your moment
06:30My time to shine
06:31This is your time to shine
06:32Pull out all the shops now, all right?
06:34All right, mister
06:36How are you?
06:37How are you?
06:38Not too bad, how are we doing?
06:39Good
06:39I'm Shannon, nice to meet you
06:40Nice to meet you
06:43Well, how are you?
06:44Not too bad
06:45Where are you from?
06:46Cork
06:47North Cork
06:49Where are you traveling from yourself?
06:50Limerick, West Limerick
06:52Newcastle, West direction
06:53Not too far away from yourself
06:55Wearing Newmarket
06:56Oh, really?
06:57Oh, okay
06:57I don't know, but I have to hold up for it
07:00How are you wet with yourself?
07:02So I'm going into my final year in college
07:03I'm doing my teaching at Sligo
07:05I'm very good
07:06How about you?
07:07Car sales
07:08Car sales?
07:08Oh, lovely
07:09I have to have a nice car
07:10That's a big bonus
07:11It'd be nice to be the passenger princess for a while
07:14My sister is a year older than that
07:16And I have twin brothers there, 18
07:17The youngest
07:18Are your brothers new?
07:20Jesus Christ
07:22I actually taught them last year on placement
07:24In Barway
07:25Yes
07:28Small world
07:30Definitely, oh my God
07:34Where are you from?
07:36Take a guess
07:38I don't know, Kildare, no
07:39I live in Kildare now
07:41No, I'm from the UK originally
07:42I hear
07:44But keep that on the down low though
07:45I don't like stuff going on
07:46Yes, say it on, Kildare, yes
07:48Where are you from?
07:50I'm from Kildare
07:51I'm in Nace
07:52Well, you're out of Kildare
07:53Ah, favour
07:56So, we're all going back to Kildare after this, right?
07:59Well, then nothing can you hear more
08:07I've been single over four years now
08:37In the last few months
08:38I love my tarot cards and crystals and stuff like that
08:41I'm also creative
08:42I write poems and I write, like, lyrics and stuff
08:45I'm a musician
08:46No way
08:48I'm a tattoo artist as well
08:49I own a bus company
08:50I have a barber
08:52I'm a musician
08:52And whatever you want me to be, really
08:54Yeah
08:55Friendship is so important
08:56I want to be best friends with someone
08:58Let's go
08:59I have to have a good time, don't you?
09:02I want someone to have an absolute crackback
09:03I was working at All Together Now
09:05Was it good?
09:06I don't know
09:07I got kicked out
09:08You got kicked out working there
09:11Oh my god
09:12That was yesterday
09:13Oh, no way
09:15And you rolled over into here today
09:17Nah, bro
09:18I had it
09:18Maybe an hour
09:19You seem fresh enough like
09:21It's Botox
09:27My sister Nancy is the cockroach
09:30No way
09:31Oh my god
09:32I actually went for the Limerick Rose this year as well
09:35Really?
09:35That's so funny
09:36What is this?
09:37I didn't get it now, but it was a great experience
09:40Yeah, yeah
09:40I got sponsored by my job in the Sentra
09:42My escort is lovely, in fairness
09:45The poor creator, he had to walk four of us up
09:47So he had to, like, run up, back down again and get the next girl
09:50Because there wasn't enough escorts for all of us
09:53I used to play the concertina
09:55And when I went for the Rose, like, that was my party piece
09:58Yeah
09:58I stood there in front of, like, a full ballroom in Adair in Count Limerick
10:03Like, it was crazy
10:05I played a keyboard and a fiddle
10:07Oh, really?
10:08Yeah, I did kind of more country music than metal
10:10You were able to jive some?
10:12Yeah, I'm fairly well able to jive
10:14Oh, very good
10:15I actually done classes
10:17We went for a couple of weeks, but I still can barely jive, like
10:21And I love to teach you that, so
10:22Yeah, exactly
10:24I like going out Saturday night, like, any regular country fella
10:28We'd always go to a pub where there's a bit of music on
10:31No matter who the bend is, I'll end up singing a few songs in a way
10:34I mean, it's good in Abbey Field, like
10:35My father's first cousin, it's the principal, like
10:37No way
10:38Liam
10:40I was saying that to the girls before I came up
10:41I was like, imagine if I actually know this person
10:43Like, I've seen it before
10:44I literally said that last night, though
10:45If I drove all the way up the Dublin
10:47She'll probably, like, half an hour over the road
10:51I don't know you at all that
10:52No, I don't know
10:53I don't know you there, so
10:54Not in the West of Journal
10:55No
11:02It's been a while, I haven't done it sober
11:08Are you okay?
11:09Yeah, it just landed on my forehead
11:13When first meeting me, I think some people are like
11:16Oh my God, is he alright?
11:18Did he have a bunch of Red Bull or something?
11:25Some people think I'm, like, a dog running around
11:28You know, I kind of have that golden retriever brain
11:35I can't sit still for a long time, you know
11:37I'm excited
11:38I like the flowers
11:39Thank you
11:40A few brownie points
11:41You're going to help there, huh?
11:43What do you do yourself for a living?
11:44What is your trait?
11:46I am a doctor
11:46And you are a catch for the lady
11:48Oh, thank you
11:49Thank you
11:50I don't know about that, but we'll see
11:52I've never gone too far astray from just being myself
11:56Unapologetically myself
11:58Wow
11:58These actually cost a penny
12:00Fair play
12:00I bought them up the ladies in Grand Street
12:02She tried to talk me out of them
12:03She was like
12:03They're too expensive now
12:04And I was like
12:05What's going on?
12:06First date?
12:08And how vulnerable does dating make you feel?
12:12Brutal at times, you know
12:13It is like marketing for your soul
12:15You know, you're like
12:16Hi, do you want this forever?
12:18I was like talking to my mum on the way here
12:20And she's like
12:20Keith, just be you
12:22But a little less
12:28Onya's had just about enough of a little less
12:31What she really wants
12:33Is a little more
12:35You'll ask for clarity on the third or fourth date
12:38And it's not like
12:38Listen, no one's asking you to settle down
12:40Like hand out a ring
12:41Nothing like that
12:41But it's like you're just kind of asking for like
12:43A little bit of clarity
12:44And then they're like
12:44Whoa
12:44Like
12:45Oh
12:45Take chill pill
12:51I thought
12:52As I got older
12:53Oh yeah
12:53Like now I'll find somebody
12:55Who's like
12:55You know
12:55Ready to settle down
12:56Like ready to
12:57I suppose get married
12:58Have kids
13:01I feel like it's worse
13:02They're getting at this point
13:07No
13:07And that doesn't matter
13:09I knew I was going to get it wrong
13:13Yeah well
13:13Perfection is boring
13:16Hi
13:16Oh yeah
13:19I like someone who's active
13:21Like I would be very like
13:22Go, go, go
13:22I do like a bit of facial hair as well
13:25A little bit of confidence
13:26Someone who's just I suppose
13:27Good crack and a good personality
13:28Is that
13:29No, mister
13:30Oh
13:32Hello
13:33How are you?

13:42Jesus Christ
13:42I was not expecting
13:43Holy shit
13:45Yeah
13:45I really really appreciate
13:47I'm actually a massive flower person
13:49Are you?
13:49I am
13:50Honestly
13:51Hi
13:53I'm really good
13:54What a beautiful bunch of roses
13:56Here already
13:56We're off for a good start
14:07I'm a marine biologist
14:08No way
14:10Yeah
14:10That is everybody's dream
14:12And you're actually doing it

14:15Really really pretty eyes
14:16Yeah
14:16Beautiful
14:16Thank you
14:22I'm a bit of a loner
14:23Like a bit of a lone wolf
14:24That's fair
14:25I've got like
14:26My like couple best friends
14:29And then I've got a group of acquaintances
14:31Do you know what I mean?
14:32I love my own company
14:33I love that
14:34Would you consider yourself somebody confident?
14:37I've worked on it
14:38I'm still socially awkward sometimes
14:40I don't think that will ever go away
14:41But I think my confidence is something that's growing
14:43I come across as this big confident person
14:46Like because I look a certain way
14:47Obviously fantastically good looking
14:48And really really really sexy and all
14:50Yeah
14:51Right
14:51That's fair
14:52Okay
14:56And
15:00There's a answer to that
15:01I know I'm good looking
15:03Ended
15:05Always been class clown
15:07There was always so much going on in my life
15:09When I was younger
15:09That I created the person that had to be liked
15:13I have a complicated family
15:14I was raised with my grandparents
15:16How was that?
15:18It was great
15:19Okay
15:19Until they died
15:20Oh I'm sorry
15:22It's a problem with grandparents isn't it?
15:24Fucking holding your parents
15:24Yeah
15:25Who knew?
15:26My grandmother passed away
15:27My mum like
15:27I called my mum
15:28And passed away when I was 12
15:30So I was kind of
15:31It was upheaval from there
15:32Like you know
15:34So there was a lot of
15:36Windy roads
15:37My granddad died
15:38And I was 23
15:40Oh I'm so sorry
15:42And that's yeah
15:44That's awful
15:45I'm so sorry
15:47Do you know what?
15:49It is what it is
15:50Yeah
15:50It happens
15:51You know
15:51Yeah
15:52You're born
15:53With a number of breaths
15:55And every single breath you take
15:56That number gets less
15:58So I will never waste the breath on a side
16:01I promise you that
16:04It was drifting my forklift
16:06It was always flew off the side of it
16:07And is that your forklifts?
16:10God it is
16:10Why do you have a forklift?
16:12I want to have a forklift
16:13I want to lift things
16:14Right
16:14So just have a forklift
16:15Okay
16:16Yeah
16:16I like to
16:35Forklift
16:36Forklift
16:36Have you had all done up then?
16:38I would like to have it a bit more done up than I have
16:40But I have like number plates
16:42And like pink sea covers and stuff like
16:45But
16:45Do you get it lower than piped?
16:47I don't know now
16:47Imagine me as a teacher coming into a school
16:49And the car is going
16:53I would have been the quiet child in school
16:55I would not have put up my hand like to answer a question
16:58And now going to be the teacher that will be teaching the class
17:02Like that's such a difference
17:03When I went on placement the first year
17:04I was just out of second school myself
17:06And then I'd try and teach to do the 18 year olds
17:08The same age as yourself
17:09Yeah literally
17:10What did you think of my brothers there?
17:12When you had them?
17:13Oh they were grand
17:13I had great crack at them
17:14They were deadly troublesome
17:15I'd say no to the children
17:16They were deadly cracking it
17:18I'm actually going back to the second school
17:20I went to myself
17:21So it's like a real full circle moment
17:24And how long have you been working in your job then?
17:27About a year I'd say
17:28Oh yeah
17:28Before that
17:29I had a bar myself in the market
17:32Nice
17:33I took over a bar when I was 19
17:35Really?
17:35Yeah
17:35I stayed at it for a year
17:37The tone kind of needed a lift
17:38If you're not I would say
17:40The tone was gone quite
17:41And when the opportunity came up
17:43I said
17:44Let's give it a shot
17:46Rural nightlife in general is
17:47Kind of gone
17:49Unless there's a party or something
17:50Yeah exactly
17:51I think I was the youngest publican in the country at the time I was told
17:55I don't know my half mind going back in the bars again
17:57But I don't know do I want to go back down the route of 2 o'clock every fucking morning
18:01Do you know?
18:02It's tough enough like when all your friends are going out as well
18:04Yeah
18:05It's just two times down for one person
18:06But look I had a great year
18:08I made great friends and everybody out of it
18:09So I'm not all don't know it says so
18:13Do you have any pets?
18:15We've dug it on
18:16We've cattle
18:17We had hens
18:19The hens went missing
18:21Oh no
18:23Nine of them
18:24Oh no
18:26I just can't figure out what happened then
18:39I'm so excited I'm kind of hungry
18:40Yes I'm excited too
18:42And I only have like three default states it's excitement or hunger
18:45What's the third?
18:47Sleep
18:47Sleep?
18:48That's fair enough
18:49That's fair yeah
18:50I have had a lot of relationships
18:53It's like a running joke and my friends are like oh classic
18:55This guy is better than the last guy he's amazing
18:58And then it just falls to shit because I have like rose colored glasses on
19:02And I just completely like dismiss other stuff
19:04So I've stopped doing that now
19:05Thank you so much
19:06Thanks
19:07I've kind of stopped settling
19:08If the person isn't right for me they're not right for me
19:10It's like can I ask how old are you?
19:12I am 34
19:12I'm 31
19:13You are 31?

19:18Or you've got this aura about you
19:20It's beautiful
19:21You're by far the hottest girl I've ever got on a date list
19:26I move every six months or so for my work
19:28Emergency hours are bad
19:29It doesn't really allow too much for dating
19:32And you're living in Tramore?

23:36I'll have to like see how like
23:39The rest of my goes
23:40How vulnerable does dating make you feel?
23:43The vulnerability of probably a two year old child lost in the middle of the city
23:47When it comes to being like in an actual romantic setting
23:50I just lost, lost confidence
23:51You know
23:52Like that's, I'm 36
23:54Nothing's ever worked out
23:55I was really quiet in my twenties to be fair
23:57I'm
23:58I uh
23:59Yeah, I remember mentally in my thirties
24:01You can feel vulnerable
24:03But it makes me feel optimistic also
24:05If the person's not right for you, you're one step closer to the person who is
24:08I was mentally in my twenties
24:10I loved recession
24:11I was a bit of a rape
24:13I was a bit of a recession
24:14I was a bit of a recession
24:15I was a bit of a recession
24:17Okay
24:18Would you go out local or that?
24:20I've often gone out to Newcastle as well
24:21Because like I would know a lot of like people from Newcastle
24:24I still can't get over all fucking close

24:32And they both have three children each with their new partners
24:36So I have two sisters and four brothers
24:39And they're all under the age of eight

24:43But it's a crazy that I love
24:47Do you think you'd like to stay in Ireland
24:48Like settle down in Ireland like her?
24:50I would think so
24:52Yeah
24:52I'd like to stay very close to her

24:56I'm actually planning to build a house
24:59On a site at home
25:01In the near future

25:50I would probably be staring intently into their eyes
25:54You don't like me to feed you so I'll put it on the little leaf
25:56Yeah
25:59Do I get some rats?
26:02It would be really obvious, yeah
26:03I'd be very excited
26:04Speaking a mile a minute
26:05If I didn't get a laugh
26:07I would not stop until I did
26:09From North Carolina originally
26:11We moved when I was a little kid
26:12So I can come off
26:13It's kind of like a self-dub, you know
26:14All my mates are like
26:15Hey, what are you getting on?
26:16They're all finance bros
26:18Here's a go
26:19Accountants and all
26:19Sorry, do you work for KPMG?
26:21Like
26:22Come on
26:24It's just that golden retriever mentality
26:26You know, it's like
26:26This is gonna be the greatest thing ever
26:28I get to talk to you like a South Atlantic
26:30What do you see?
26:31What do you do?
26:32I'll get you the moon
26:33Now listen here, darling
26:34Why don't we take this drink to go?
26:44I have four children
26:46Oh, wow
26:47I've been married twice
26:48Okay
26:49There's two children from my first marriage
26:51Mm-hmm
26:51And I inherited two children in my second marriage
26:54Oh, okay
26:55Yeah
26:56And you're commuting at the moment?
26:58Just sold the family home
27:00Oh, did you? Okay
27:01Started the registration process to be a teacher in Ireland
27:04For the last 23 years I've been a teacher
27:07I've worked in Aboriginal rural communities
27:10Working with Aboriginal adults
27:12And disengaged teenagers
27:14That love of teaching is still there
27:16So it's something that I still wish to continue
27:19So two wives, come on, I'm curious
27:21Oh, yes
27:22I have to be honest
27:24First marriage was at 21
27:25Oh, me and you both, yep
27:27We had 16 wonderful years
27:29But I think we both changed
27:31Yeah, our lives were different as individuals
27:34Yes, I was married a second time
27:36And that relationship lasted nearly two decades
27:39Yeah
27:40I think I'm a better person partnered
27:43I've been single many years
27:45And now I'm ready to fill that void
27:47I was married for 27 years before I got separated
27:51The first thing I did when I got separated was
27:55I signed up to do a degree
27:56I did a degree in marketing part-time
27:59Well done, yeah
28:00I had been in a relationship from such a young age
28:04That I just needed to find myself
28:07Like, come back to the person I should have been
28:10If I, I would have been if I hadn't gotten married
28:13When I got married
28:14Do you travel?
28:14Yeah, I, like last year or now
28:16I would have been in Houston
28:17And I would have been in Geneva
28:19And Dubai
28:20But I do love to travel
28:22I travel a lot on my own though
28:23I go on holidays on my own
28:25So
28:25Would you travel on your own?
28:27Everything I've done recently is on my own
28:29Is on your own?
28:30Yes
28:30Yes
28:36How are you getting on?
28:37Happy Oscar
28:38Yes
28:38Very good ladies
28:39The matchmakers have done a good job, sorry
28:41Yeah
28:42You'll actually never guess
28:43His sister is the car girls
28:45No way
28:46I swear to God
28:47I thought his brother is in Bora B
28:49And his sister is the car girls this year
28:54What are the chances?
28:55Genuinely, what are the chances?
28:59Oh
29:01Did you go all out of the outfit for us?
29:03I did, yeah
29:03I saw the amount of stuff I had

29:11I called back to me in a few days
29:13Then I picked it up

29:15Oh, brilliant
29:16Yeah
29:17What was the best thing about your date?
29:19Let's say figuring out if we were so close to each other

29:28Yeah, old fashioned guy
29:29I like this guy
29:30All fashioned, that's it
29:31Thank you
29:32Not at all
29:33That's one thing I was actually worried about last night as well
29:35Like, will they take cash?
29:38Very nice girl
29:39Very good looking girl
29:40I was very nervous of course
29:42But
29:43I got over it

31:06Yes, of course.
31:07Thank you so much.

31:12There's something in the flowers that...
31:15Oh, thank you.
31:18Just have a look behind the bars.
31:25What's this?
31:26My room key.
31:38What?
31:41It was my room key.
31:43Oh.
31:44Well, I actually think you're nicer than that.
31:46So, there is a driver organised to bring you home.
31:49What are they talking about?
31:51I have a driver organised to bring you home.
31:53All the way home?
31:54It's on the web.
31:56Wow, okay.
31:58So, you were expecting someone to go up to your room tonight, were you?
32:01Yeah.
32:02You don't know who you're going to meet.
32:03Yes.
32:04Okay.
32:05I think you're more respectful than that.
32:07No, you judge me, right?
32:10Yeah, I think so.
32:14You're a nice girl.
32:20You like to cook?
32:21Sometimes.
32:22I wouldn't say I'm a great cook, but I enjoy feeding people.
32:24I like to cook.
32:25Love making bread.
32:27Sourdough?
32:27Yeah.
32:28Love sourdough.
32:29I tried once, I made a brick.
32:31Why do you think your mum would say you're single?
32:34She says I'm a bit all over the place.
32:36She always buys self-help books.
32:39How to manage ADHD and have a relationship.
32:41That was the last book she bought me.
32:44I write stories.
32:45You write stories?
32:46What kind of stories?
32:47Like fantasy mostly, but I also write funny stories.
32:51I'm big into fantasy books.
32:53Yeah.
32:54No way.
32:55I can't believe you write fantasy books.
32:57Yeah.
32:57It's shocking.
32:58I'm trying.
32:59What are you reading in the moment?
33:00I like the Wheel of Time.
33:02So good.
33:02The show, terrible.
33:03It's shockingly bad.
33:04It's so bad.
33:05I would be definitely a little bit nerdy as well.
33:07I love reading fantasy books.
33:08I do love cleaning as well.
33:10I hate to say it.
33:10My friends always know if something happened or if I ended with like a lad or something
33:14like that, they're like something in that house is getting deep cleaned.
33:17I'm going to feed you.
33:18No, I'm not going to feed you.
33:19I forgot.
33:19Oh, feed me.
33:20Fuck it.
33:21Really?
33:22I don't know what I'm doing.
33:23This is shocking.
33:24You don't even do this.
33:25I never do this.
33:27I'm going to feed you now.
33:28You're going to feed me?
33:32Is this my fucking ear fork?
33:33I don't give a fork.
33:35It's ear fork.
33:36No.
33:36Oh my God.
33:36You didn't just do that fork.
33:39That was actually pretty good.
33:40Do you like dad jokes?
33:41I do.
33:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:43So you make bread.
33:44I make bread.
33:45You're super hot.
33:46You read fantasy.
33:47My weird matches your weird.
33:49Let's do it.
33:50Yeah.
33:54She's a lovely girl.
33:55She's too lovely for me though.
33:57She's lovely.
33:57She's good looking.
33:58She's a mommy.
34:00She's like...
34:02She's so really beautiful person, but I kind of felt really bad then.
34:05Because I gave her a bunch of flowers with my room key.
34:08She's like...
34:09I think it's fine.
34:10I have a car organized for you to go.
34:12Here, do you want to swap seats?
34:13Come on.
34:14Just...
34:15Just shut the swap seats to me.
34:17Of course.
34:17Just do it.
34:18Go and swap seats to me.
34:19I got flowers.
34:22I've never got flowers on a date before.
34:24Yeah, we'll just see how it goes.
34:27It's good fun at the moment.
34:28Like, she's really funny.
34:29And your chips are lovely.
34:32You got it.
34:33You just look forward and tend to me.
34:40Hi guys.

35:02It's a bit roomy.
35:08Hips are good.
35:09Ah, they are, aren't they?
35:09That's always a good start, yeah.
35:11And your company's been lovely so far.
35:13Oh, thank you.
35:15You need to just speak with my mouth, though.
35:17Oh, you're allowed.
35:17I will, too.
35:18That's okay.
35:19How's that?
35:19Okay.
35:22My mother was Italian.
35:23We all had fish and chip shops, so we all lived over fish and chip shops and whatever.
35:27Italian heritage.
35:29Yeah.
35:29They would have come over as immigrants and they had nothing.
35:33Oh, yeah.
35:34We did have land.
35:35We'd land.
35:36Yeah, no, we'd land initially.
35:37It was great for growing rocks.
35:43Do you ever get lonely?
35:45I call it Sunday blues.
35:47That Sunday feeling when everybody's with their family, everybody's with their other half.
35:52Everybody has somebody except you.
35:54This is my fierce.
35:56And I have the cat on a swing.
35:58See, it's a bit of a joke.
36:00Oh, yeah, yeah.
36:01Big swing.
36:02Uh-huh.
36:03You've got to embrace it.
36:04Being single can be lonely.
36:06I enjoy going to gigs on my own or the cinema on my own, but I think having company would
36:12be a better thing.
36:14Do you like your live music?
36:15Yes.
36:16I love music.
36:17I love my lives.
36:18I love everything from opera to pop and anything in between.
36:23Music makes you happy.
36:25Yeah, yeah.
36:25I find music medicinal.
36:27Yes.
36:28I'm a member of a four-part harmony chorus.
36:32So in Melbourne, but there's a group here that I've been to one of their meetings.
36:38And, um, so that's a group that I'd be joining.
36:42Coming up, there's performing.
36:44Could be Wexford.
36:45Okay, thanks.
36:46Down the road.
36:48So, um, yeah.
36:51If there's a second date, perhaps we can go there.
36:58This girl is amazing.
37:01She makes bread.
37:03She likes fantasy books.
37:05She's a marine biologist.
37:06Super hot.
37:07She is absolutely stunning.
37:09She is a 10 out of 10, Leah.
37:10She is perfect.
37:13This is so good.
37:17Well, I'm glad nobody's really losing their cool.
37:19No, nobody's losing their cool.
37:23As I jump up and down.
37:25Nice and calm.
37:26Yeah, nice and calm.
37:27Cool it down.
37:27No, but I really like her.
37:28She's really nice.
37:29I hope, if I can just nail this next bit, I think, I think I'll...
37:34I think I got a winner.
37:36I don't like being in situations with people like me.
37:41Like you?
37:42Yeah, people like me who are a little bit, a little bit wild.
37:45And people that are calmer than you handle you?
37:49No.
37:50And that's the problem.
37:51You seem very calm.
37:54Yeah.
37:55Or is there a wildest air?
37:57Do you have me?
37:58I had a really good time.
38:00Really pretty girl.
38:01Really quiet.
38:03Total opposite of me.
38:06Do you put the whole thing in your mouth?
38:07Yeah.
38:08Savage.
38:10I can be a little bit, like, all over the place and, like, it's fun to me but it could
38:14be embarrassing to some other people.
38:16I think she deserves a bit better.
38:19I would like to play in the middle if that's okay.
38:20Are you sure?
38:20Absolutely.
38:22Honestly, you've been a delight.
38:24I'll tell you that.
38:26Would you like to see each other again romantically?
38:30Go ahead.
38:31Harley, ladies first.
38:36I would say we'd be good as friends.
38:41Do you agree?
39:01Do you agree?
39:10Yeah.
39:10We'd be really good as friends.
39:11Yeah, for sure.
39:12Yeah, for sure.
39:13Definitely.
39:14Here, go on then.
39:15You might as well.
39:26Can I just say I love your accent?
39:28And I love yours.
39:30I can understand yours.
39:32Picturing how the day could go horribly wrong, I thought there'd be lots of instances in me asking,
39:37sorry, what did you say?
39:38Sorry, what did you say?
39:40But that never happened.
39:41That's years of elocution lessons.
39:44No way.
39:46Love to me is when you're not trying to change somebody to be who you want them to be.
39:51Is it okay to be vulnerable wanting to spend time with them and being happy when they're
39:58doing something they want to do without you, that's okay too?
40:01Sounds like you do a lot of travelling, so you know, if we were to have a second date
40:07and beyond, it's something that we could do together and apart and we'd both be okay with that.
40:13Absolutely.
40:14I have to be very honest.
40:17Please.
40:19I'm not looking to get married again.
40:21I'm looking for a companion.
40:23I hate that word because it makes you sound very old, but I don't mean it in that sense.
40:27I get exactly what you've just said.
40:29Yes, that's it.
40:30You don't have to think about being in love.
40:34It's just comfortable.
40:36Having the confidence in another person that they get you.
40:40Now there's a period of my life that I recognise that, you know, there's, am I lonely?
40:47No.
40:48But would I like to be in a relationship?
40:50Yes.
40:51Again?
40:52Yes.
40:52Yeah.
40:52I get you.
40:54I get you.
40:55I get you.
40:55That's me.
40:56I'm not lonely.
40:58Mm.
40:58I'm very content.
41:00Well, I'd love somebody in my life.
41:02There you go.
41:02Yeah.
41:03Because all I wanted Margaret out of this was to meet someone who got me, yeah?
41:07And, um, and that's all I wanted was somebody who got me.
41:18Mm.
41:19That umami is so good.
41:22Sorry.
41:23I watch a lot of Gordon Ramsay.
41:25Oh, of course.
41:25Of course.
41:26It's my emotional support show.
41:28Okay.
41:28That and The Office.
41:29The Office is my comfort show.
41:30Yeah, it's my comfort show.
41:31Yeah.
41:32I watched that last night.
41:33I did too.
41:34Oh, God.
41:35It's coming.
41:37Oh, my God.
41:38That's amazing.
41:40Why didn't we both watch it?
41:41We're both nervous.
41:42What would you love to come out of this?
41:45Honestly, it'd be great to find a partner.
41:47I have six siblings.
41:48There's seven of us all together.
41:49Seven.
41:49Big family.
41:50Are you close to your family?
41:51Yeah, yeah, we're very close.
41:53Five of them live in America.
41:54Me and my little sister live here, and my parents live here as well.
41:57I grew up in a very, very loving household.
41:59You know, it was just hugs and laughter everywhere.
42:02It's hard to go and be alone after a lifetime of that.
42:06And where do you fall on that?
42:08Do you want to have kids?
42:09Yeah.
42:09Do you want to settle down?
42:10Yeah.
42:10I want to have kids.
42:11I want to settle down, yeah.
42:11Whatever to sell.
42:12Me too.
42:13Yeah.
42:14Yeah.
42:14It's fun.
42:15How many do you want?
42:17Um...
42:17Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
42:19If you fucking saved Evan.
42:22It's not happening.
42:23Okay, I'll settle for five.
42:24Oh, my God.
42:25I'm only joking.
42:26I would like just to go home to someone and, you know, no matter what life throws at you,
42:30there's always your best friend at home, you know?
42:33So that'd be nice.
42:35How do you find the moving around?
42:37That's awful, yeah.
42:38I'm not gonna lie, like, it has to be done.
42:40We have to do every position.
42:41For how long does it have to be done?
42:42So I have a year-long post in Tremor, and then I'm back in the hospital on medical call
42:47for four months.
42:49Yeah.
42:49Don't worry, I'll come back every weekend.
42:50No, no, no, no, no.
42:51If you're crossing me...
42:53No.
42:54No, no.
42:55Honestly, I travel a lot for work as well.
42:57Do you?
42:58Well, maybe we could, you know, circuits could work.
43:01Yeah.
43:01If you want to go on more dates, I would love to go on and have a date.
43:05I would really love it.
43:07Really?
43:07This is perfect.
43:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:08You're perfect.
43:10Perfect.
43:15Oh, that looks gorgeous.
43:17White chocolate hearts.
43:18Oh, look at you.
43:18Enjoy.
43:20Look at you.
43:22Now.
43:23Go for it, go on.
43:23Okay, do I crack it, do I?
43:25I don't know.
43:25I don't know.
43:26Oh, no, it doesn't crack.
43:28Oh, it's soft.
43:28Oh, look at you.
43:31Did you feel a spark?
43:32I did.
43:33I did.
43:34Yes, I did feel a spark.
43:35I'm very happy with my choice.
43:37Mmm.
43:37Do you want a taste?
43:38Would you like a taste?
43:39Mmm.
43:40There was just so many connections that it was like tick, tick, tick.
43:47Cheers again.
43:49Cheers.
43:50To our first date.
43:51First.
43:52We were both wanting the same thing.
43:55It just started to feel right.

44:42Absolutely love the accent.
44:47We were ticking off boxes of the different things that we had in common.
44:52Lots to learn about one another.
44:54It was all.
44:55It was meant to be.
44:58Do you think Robin is boyfriend material?
45:00Yes.
