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
00:20Put your arms out like an angel through the car somewhere
00:25And I cry, it's not fair
00:29I just need a little love and I just need a little hair
00:35I think I'm gonna call it love, even if you call it love
00:39I just don't love someone who calls me, baby
00:42You can catch a laundry, boys and boys
00:46Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
00:50You can change just the way you are
00:55Making your skills, no stupid reason
00:59Good luck with you
01:00Well, good luck with you
01:03You're out to stop the world just to stop the feeling
01:07Good luck with you
01:09Well, good luck with you
01:11You're out to stop the world just 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?
01:41Come on, really?
01:42What 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 the time to be happy
02:14I've been described as a hit of dopamine because I'm so hyper
02:19But I've also been
02:21Described 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 just square up to me here
02:32My man
02:33I'm like Barbara
02:34I don't love it or your head
02:36So tell me, tell me what you're looking for
02:39Are you jacobats?
02:41This is your date, I'm afraid
02:43I mean, I requested something a little different
02:46Do you have any strategy on the date?
02:50No, I'm an absolute mess
02:52No baking
02:58Stop it
03:00You're embarrassing me
03:06Magic
03:07If it's in the air
03:09Boo will sense it
03:15I need to feel the 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
03:48I 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
04:02How are you?
04:04How are you?

05:28Cork
05:29North Cork
05:30I'm from Reeling
05:31A small village in North Cork
05:33It's actually
05:33The highest village in Ireland
05:35What brings you on?
05:36Hopeless romantic
05:37Well look
05:38There's no such as a hopeless romantic
05:39There has to be hope somewhere
05:41I will try it
05:41I don't know
05:42I'd like someone that's good crack
05:44Someone 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 Turnavala
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 like the same personality
06:15That a culty person would have
06:19There
06:19Hi there
06:20Hello
06:20Well look at you
06:21Hey

06:25Bit nervous yeah
06:26But ok
06:27That's Paul's still nervous
06:28Here we go now
06:29This is your moment
06:30My time to shine
06:31This is your time to shine
06:32All the stops now alright
06:34Right mister
06:36How are you?
06:37How are you?
06:38Not too bad. How are we doing?
06:39Good. I'm Shannon. Nice to meet you.
06:40Good. Nice to meet you.
06:43Well, how are you?
06:45I'm not too bad.
06:45Where are you from?
06:46Cork. North Cork.
06:49Where are you traveling from yourself?
06:50Limerick. West Limerick. Newcastle, West direction.
06:53I'm not too far away from Newcastle.
06:55We're in Newmarket.
06:56Oh, really? Oh, OK.
06:58I'm about half an hour for us.
07:01How's your Westwood yourself?
07:01So, I'm going into my final year in college.
07:04I'm doing homework teaching in Saigon.
07:05Oh, very good. How about you?
07:07Carsels. Carsels? Oh, lovely.
07:09And if they have a nice car, that's a big bonus.
07:12It'd be nice to be the passenger princess for a while.
07:14My sister is a year older than that.
07:16And they have twin brothers there at 18.
07:18The youngest. Are your brothers Luke?
07:20Oh, Jesus Christ.
07:22I actually taught them last year on placement.
07:25In Broadway.
07:25Yeah.
07:28Small world.
07:30Definitely. Oh, my God.
07:34Where are you from?
07:36Take a guess.
07:38I don't know.
07:38I live in Kildare now.
07:41No, I'm from the UK originally.
07:43I hear.
07:44But keep that on the down low, though.
07:45I don't like stuff.
07:46Say nothing.
07:46Yes, say nothing.
07:48Yes, say nothing.
07:49Where are you from?
07:50I'm from South Kildare.
07:51I'm in Nace.
07:52Well, you're right.
07:53You must say.
07:54Ah, flavour.
07:55Very good.
07:55That's it.
07:56So, we're all going back to Kildare after this, right?
07:59Two pints.
08:00Then nothing.
08:01Can you hear more?
08:06I've been single over four years now.
08:09In the last few months I've opened myself up a lot more.
08:12Before I was closed off and I was busy last year, so I had no time for dating at all.
08:17So, what did you do for living?
08:19I was doing home care.
08:21Really?
08:21Yeah, I just got out with that for a break because I was just like burnt out and I'm a
08:26single parent and I don't have any help with her.
08:28Well, now that I've had more time to myself, I'm like, hmm, I actually could think about it now and,
08:34you know, I've been more optimistic.
08:36What do you do for fun?
08:37I'm a spiritual girlie.
08:38I love my tarot cards and crystals and stuff like that.
08:41I'm also creative.
08:43Okay.
08:43I write poems and I write like lyrics and stuff.
08:45I'm a musician.
08:47No way.
08:47Yeah.
08:48I'm a tattoo artist as well.
08:49Yeah.
08:49I own a bus company.
08:51I have a barber.
08:52Wow.
08:53And whatever you want me to be, really.
08:55Friendship is so important.
08:56I want to be best friends with someone.
08:59Let's go.
09:00I have to have a good time, don't you?
09:02I want someone to have an absolute crack.
09:03I was working all together now.
09:06Was it good?
09:06I don't know.
09:07I got kicked out.
09:09You got kicked out working there.
09:11Oh my God.
09:13That was yesterday.
09:14Oh no way.
09:15And you rolled over into here today.
09:17Nah, bro.
09:18I had it.
09:19Maybe an error.
09:20You seem fresh and look like.
09:21It's Botox.
09:27Yeah.
09:28My sister Nancy is the Cockroach.
09:30No way.
09:31Yeah.
09:31Oh my God.
09:32I actually went for the Limerick Rose this year as well.
09:35What?
09:35It's so funny.
09:36Yeah.
09:37I didn't get it now, but it was a great experience.
09:40Yeah.
09:40I got sponsored by my job in the Sentra.
09:43My escort is lovely in fairness.
09:45Poor 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 roles, like that was my party piece.
09:58Yeah.
09:58I stood there in front of like a full ballroom in a dare in Count Limerick.
10:03Like it was crazy.
10:04What was it?
10:05I played a keyboard and a fiddle.
10:07Oh really?
10:08Yeah.
10:08I did kind of more country music in myself.
10:11Yeah.
10:11Are you 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 too.
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 and how do you feel like?
10:35My father's first cousin was the principal.
10:37No way.
10:38Liam.
10:40I was saying that to the girls before I came up.
10:42Imagine if I actually know this person.
10:43Like I've seen them before.
10:44I literally said that last night too.
10:45If I drove all the way up the double, she would go like half an hour over the road.
10:51I don't know you at all though.
10:52No, I don't know.
10:53I don't know you at all.
10:54I don't know you at all.
10:55I don't know where's the journal?
10:55No.
11:02It's been a while.
11:03I 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, oh my God.
11:17Is he alright?
11:19Did 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.
11:40A few brownie points.
11:41You're going to help there, huh?
11:43What do you do yourself for living?
11:44What is your trait?
11:46I am a doctor.
11:47And you are a catch for the lady.
11:49Oh, thank you.
11:50I don't know about that.
11:51But we'll see.
11:52I've never gone too far astray from just being myself.
11:56Unapologetically myself.
11:58Wow.
11:59These actually cost a penny.
12:00Fair play.
12:00I bought them off the ladies in Grand Street.
12:02She tried to talk me out of them.
12:03She was like, they're too expensive now.
12:04And I was like, what'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, hi, do you want this forever?
12:18I was like talking to my mum on the way here.
12:20And she's like, Keith, just be you, but a little less.
12:28Onya's had just about enough of a little less.
12:32What she really wants is a little more.
12:35You'll ask for clarity on the third or fourth date.
12:38And it's not like, listen, no one's asking you to settle down,
12:40like hand out a ring, nothing like that.
12:42But it's like, you're just kind of asking for like a little bit of clarity.
12:44And then they're like, whoa, like, oh, take chill pill.
12:51I thought as I got older.
12:53Oh yeah.
12:53Like now I'll find somebody who's like, you know, ready to settle down.
12:56Like ready to get married, have kids.
13:01I feel like it's worse.
13:03They're getting at this point.
13:07No, that doesn't matter.
13:11I knew I was going to get it wrong.
13:13Yeah.
13:13Well, perfection is boring.
13:16Hi, Onya.
13:19I like someone who's active.
13:21Like I would be very like, go, go, go.
13:23I do like a bit of facial hair as well.
13:25A little bit of confidence.
13:26Someone who's just, I suppose, good crack and a good personality as well.
13:29No, Mr.
13:30Onya.
13:32Hello.
13:33How are you?
13:34Nice.
13:35So sweet.
13:36Oh my God.
13:36Beautiful.
13:37Thank you so much.
13:38Thank you so much.
13:40Oh my God.
13:41You look absolutely stunning.
13:42Jesus Christ.
13:42It was not expecting.
13:44Holy shit.
13:45Yeah.
13:46I really, really appreciate it.
13:47I'm actually a massive flower person.
13:49Are you?
13:49Yeah, I am.
13:50Okay, that's great.
13:50I am.
13:51How are you?
13:52I'm really good.
13:54What a beautiful bunch of roses here already.
13:56We're off for a good start.
14:07I'm a marine biologist.
14:09No way.
14:10Yeah.
14:10That is everybody's dream.
14:12Yeah.
14:12And you're actually doing it.
14:13Yeah, yeah.
14:14You've really nice eyes, by the way.
14:15Do I?
14:15Really, really pretty eyes.
14:16Thank you so much.
14:22I'm a bit of a loner.
14:23Like I'm a bit of a lone wolf.
14:25That's fair.
14:25Okay.
14:25I've got like, my like couple of 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.
14:34I love that.
14:35Would 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.
14:42But I think my confidence is something that's growing.
14:44I come across as this big confident person.
14:46Like, because I look a certain way.
14:47Obviously, fantastically good looking.
14:49And really, really, really sexy and all.
14:51Yeah.
14:51Right?
14:51That's fair.
14:52Okay.
14:56And?
15:00There's no answer to that.
15:02I know.
15:02I'm good looking.
15:03End it.
15:05Always been class clown.
15:07There was always so much going on in my life when I was younger that I created the
15:11person that had to be liked.
15:13I have a complicated family.
15:15I was raised with my grandparents.
15:16How was that?
15:18It was great.
15:19Okay.
15:20Until they died.
15:21Oh, I'm sorry.
15:22It's the problem with grandparents, isn't it?
15:24Fucking holding your parents.
15:25Yeah.
15:25I knew.
15:26My grandmother passed away.
15:27My mom, like, I got my mom passed away when I was 12.
15:30So, I was kind of, it was upheaval from there, like, you know?
15:34So, there was a lot of windy roads.
15:37My granddad outside and I was, uh, I was 23.
15:40Oh, I'm so sorry.
15:42And, 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?
15:52Yeah.
15:52You're born with a number of breaths.
15:55And every single breath you take, that number gets less.
15:59So, I will never waste a breath on the side.
16:01I promise you that.
16:04I was drifting my forklift.
16:06My phone flew off the side of it.
16:08And it's like your forklift?
16:10It is.
16:11Why do you have a forklift?
16:12I want to have a forklift.
16:13I want to lift things.
16:14Right, so just have a forklift.
16:16Okay.
16:16Yeah, yeah.
16:17I like to fork things.
16:20Yeah, I like to fork things.
16:23Oh, my God.
16:23You made the funniest joke.
16:25I'm raging.
16:26I'm raging.
16:29I love driving.
16:30Really, yeah.
16:31Do all driving, eh?
16:32My father's always giving out to me.
16:34He's like, you're so smart to flop in your car, blah, blah.
16:37Have you had all done up then?
16:38I would like to have a bit more done up than I have.
16:41But I have, like, number plates and, like, pink, um, seat covers and stuff like.
16:45Do you get a little orb and piped?
16:47I don't know now.
16:48Can you imagine me as a teacher coming into a school and the car is going?
16:51You look well all right now.
16:53I would have been the quiet child in school.
16:55I would not have put up my hand light to answer a question.
16:58And now going to be the teacher that will be teaching the class, like, that's such a difference.
17:03When I went on placement the first year, I was just out of saying to myself.
17:07And then I was trying to teach these 18-year-olds.
17:08The same edge as yourself, right?
17:09Yeah, literally.
17:10What did you think of my brothers there when you had them?
17:13Oh, they were grand.
17:13I had great crack with them.
17:14They were very troublesome outside of the children.
17:16They were deadly crack at it.
17:18I'm actually going back to the second school I went to myself.
17:21So it's like a real full circle moment.
17:25And how long have you been working in your job then?
17:27About a year, I'd say.
17:28Oh, yeah.
17:29Before that.
17:29I had a bar myself in the market.
17:32Right.
17:33I took over a bar when I was 19.
17:35Really?
17:35Yeah.
17:36I stayed at it for a year.
17:37Yeah.
17:37The tone kind of needed a lift.
17:39You know what I would say.
17:40The tone was gone quite.
17:41And when the opportunity came up, I said, let's give it a shot.
17:46Rural nightlife in general is kind of gone.
17:49Unless there's a party or something.
17:51Yeah, exactly.
17:51I think I was the youngest publican in the country at the time I was told.
17:55I don't know.
17:55I have half a mind of going back into bars again, but I don't know.
17:59Do I want to go back down the route of two o'clock every fucking army?
18:01Do you know?
18:02It's tough enough like when all your friends are going out as well?
18:04Yeah.
18:04It's just, it was too tiny down for one person.
18:07But look, I had a great year.
18:08I made great friends and everything.
18:09All of it, so.
18:10I'm not at all.
18:11Don't know it's there, 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.
18:30Jeez.
18:30They didn't run away from the fox.
18:32I don't know.
18:40I'm so excited.
18:40I'm kind of hungry.
18:41Yes, I'm excited too.
18:42And I only have like three default states.
18:44It'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.
18:57He'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.
19:10And it's like, can I ask how old are you?
19:12I am 34.
19:13I'm 31.
19:13You are 31?
19:14Yeah.
19:14God.
19:15I thought, well, you look easily 25.
19:18You'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 with.
19:26I move every six months or so for my work.
19:28Emergency hours are bad.
19:30It doesn't really allow too much for dating.
19:32And you're living in Shremores?
19:33I am.
19:34I just moved there two weeks ago.
19:35It's so nice.
19:36Yeah.
19:37You've got to come down.
19:38It's really cool.
19:39So I do have to go down.
19:40I'm training to be a GP now.
19:42So I've got a place in my life, in my career, where I can say, you know what?
19:46I'm going to take a little bit from me now.
19:48And so hopefully all that changes.
19:50I haven't even looked.
19:52Oh my God, we forgot to look.
19:53You haven't even looked.
19:54I thought you were hungry.
19:56Sorry, sorry.
19:56Okay, okay, okay.
19:57Wait.
19:57Caroline spread oysters.
19:58I was looking at that too.
20:00Let's get some oysters.
20:01Yeah.
20:01And the barata as well.
20:03I was going to go with the barata as well.
20:05Were you?
20:05Yeah, I was.
20:06Of course.
20:07We are missing here.
20:08We are flying here.
20:15Bringing joy wherever she goes, Margaret's got happy feet.
20:20I love to dance.
20:22Oh, I love to dance.
20:24What kind of dance way?
20:26A disco dancer.
20:28You make me feel like dancing.
20:31I never get to dance anymore.
20:32I dance sometimes myself in the kitchen.
20:34Would you like to find a man who's got on his feet?
20:36That would be amazing.
20:42Oh, Lordy.
20:46Hi there, madam.
20:47Hi, how are you?
20:48Your name, please?
20:48Margaret.
20:49Nice to meet you, Margaret.
20:50Well, look at you, huh?
20:52You look lovely, all right?
20:53You are.
20:54Well, either go big or go home.
20:55Yeah.
20:56And you went big.
20:57I went big.
20:59What would we not know about you by just looking at you?
21:03I suppose I'm very adventurous.
21:05I think people look and say, ah, bless.
21:07You know, she's 67.
21:08Look at her.
21:09She's great.
21:10She's great.
21:11I dabble in aerial yoga.
21:13What's that?
21:14It's like, can you imagine a big hammer?
21:16Oh, I've seen it.
21:18Can you do yoga with the sport of that?
21:20Very good.
21:21I am pretty independent.
21:23Go on holidays on my own.
21:25Quite happy within myself.
21:26Spend time on my own.
21:27But it would be nice to have a partner in crime.
21:30And what are you hoping for?
21:31I don't know.
21:34I'd like to meet somebody nice and have a nice dinner.
21:38I'm sure we'll see what happens.
21:39We can't all be fluent in the language of love.
21:43Take Robin.
21:44He frequently sends out the wrong message.
21:47My daughter says I'm a terrible texter.
21:50Communication breakdown.
21:52There's four stops everywhere.
21:53Are you upset?
21:55Communication breakdown.
21:57She says my texts sound rude and abrupt.
22:00Hello.
22:01I'm just too scared to try on dating apps or what the like
22:05because I'm sure it wouldn't go well.
22:09Hello.
22:10Hello.
22:11How are you?
22:12I'm well.
22:13Lovely to meet you.
22:14Nice to meet you.
22:16Is it for you?
22:17Oh my lord.
22:18Thank you so much.
22:19They're beautiful.
22:21And what's your name?
22:22Margaret.
22:22Hello Margaret.
22:23Robin, nice to meet you.
22:24That's not an Irish accent, Robin.
22:26I'm from Melbourne.
22:28Oh.
22:29My family are here.
22:30I have a daughter.
22:31And she's here, is she?
22:32She's here with a lovely husband.
22:34She has a four month old and a four year old.
22:38That are like magnets.
22:40Yes.
22:40Drawing me.
22:41The grandchildren are the love you didn't think you had to give.
22:46What I'm wanting is someone who is warm, lovely, similar interests.
22:51So whether it be film, music, dance.
22:54My eldest granddaughter is 21.
22:56She is a light of my life.
22:59We'll go out to the cinema and we'll go for a bite to eat or we'll go shopping.
23:03We'll go to shows together.
23:04Someone who is ready for an adventure.
23:08And I already know we've got an area of interest.
23:10You like film?
23:11I love film.
23:12I love film.
23:13And cheers.
23:14Cheers.
23:15Lovely to meet you.
23:16Lovely to meet you.
23:17Good dinner.
23:17I'm excited.
23:18And thank you again for my beautiful flowers.
23:21Pleasure.
23:24She's a lovely girl, man.
23:26Do you know when you meet someone and you're like...
23:28Man, they're just like...
23:29I don't know though if she'd be able for me.
23:33Yeah, she's a bit too quiet for me.
23:35She's a...
23:36I don't know.
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 a city.
23:47When it comes to being like in an actual romantic setting.
23:50I just lost...
23:51I lost confidence.
23:52You know?
23:53Like that.
23:53I'm 36 and nothing's ever worked there.
23:55I was really quiet in my 20s to be fair.
23:58I...
23:59Yeah, I'm mentally in my 30s.
24:01You can feel vulnerable but 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 20s.
24:10I loved the session.
24:11I was a bit of a rape act.
24:13You were...
24:13You were a session when were you?
24:14I was a bit of a session when.
24:15Yeah.
24:16Okay, okay.
24:17Okay.
24:18Would you go out laughing at that?
24:20I've often gone out in the castle as well.
24:22Because like I would know a lot of like people from the castle.
24:24I still can't get over all fucking close.
24:26I don't know what's mad.
24:28My parents separated when I was young.
24:30So my dad is remarried and my mom has a new partner.
24:33And 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.
24:41It is crazy at every house.
24:43But it's a crazy that I love.
24:47Do you think you'd like to stay in Ireland and like settle down in Ireland like her?
24:50I would think so.
24:52Yeah.
24:52I'd like to stay very close to home.
24:54Yeah.
24:55I've always lived to my land.
24:57I'm actually planning to build a house on a site at home in the near future.
25:03Yeah.
25:03Your sister, she works in Bob's bar doesn't it?
25:06Brian is the manager there.
25:07He sure is.
25:08His like fiancee is like, like I've grown up with her.
25:12Like she's best friend of my whole family and everything like.
25:15So yeah.
25:17And his best man is closing away.
25:20The way he is a small one.
25:21I'm telling you.
25:21You don't care for what you're saying like wouldn't you?
25:25Definitely.
25:25She's starters.
25:26I'll put it in the middle.
25:27Yeah.
25:27Throw it in the middle.
25:28Thank you so much.
25:28Oh my God.
25:29I'm so excited.
25:29You're the best.
25:31Right.
25:31Okay.
25:31Can I feed you Kim?
25:32You want to do a little.
25:34You can't feed me.
25:35I know I started.
25:35No.
25:37I will cheers you with this though.
25:39I will 100%.
25:40Okay.
25:40So.
25:41To the best first date ever.
25:43Well, I think so.
25:44There you go.
25:45Okay.
25:47How would I know that you fancy your date?
25:50I would probably be staring intently into their eyes.
25:54You don't like me to feed you.
25:55So I'll put it on the little leaf.
25:57Yeah.
25:57I'm going to put it on the leaf.
25:59Do you like it to match?
26:02It would be really obvious.
26:03Yeah.
26:03I'd be very excited.
26:04Speak in a mile a minute.
26:05If I didn't get a laugh, I 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 as kind of like a self-dub, you know.
26:14All my mates are like, hey, what are you getting on?
26:16They're all finance bros.
26:18Here's a gown.
26:19Accountants and all.
26:20Sorry.
26:20Do you wear it for KBMG?
26:21Like, come on.
26:24It's just that golden retriever mentality.
26:26You know, here's like, this is going to be the greatest thing ever.
26:28I got to talk to you like a South Atlantic.
26:31What do you see?
26:31What do you do?
26:32I'll get you the moon.
26:33Hey, 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.
26:52And I inherited two children in my second marriage.
26:54Oh, okay.
26:56And you're commuting at the moment?
26:58I just sold the family home.
27:00Oh, did you?
27:00Okay.
27:01I started the registration process to be a teacher in Ireland.
27:05For the last 23 years I've been a teacher.
27:07I've worked in Aboriginal rural communities, working with Aboriginal adults and disengaged
27:13teenagers.
27:14That love of teaching is still there.
27:16So, it's something that I still wish to continue.
27:19So, two wives.
27:20Come on.
27:20I'm curious.
27:21Oh, yes.
27:22I have to be honest.
27:24First marriage was at 21.
27:26Oh, me and you both, yeah.
27:27We had 16 wonderful years, but I think we both changed.
27:31Yeah, our lives were different as individuals.
27:34Yes, I was married a second time, but that relationship lasted nearly two decades.
27:40Yeah.
27:40I think I'm a better person partnered.
27:43I've been single many years, and now I'm ready to fill that void.
27:48I was married for 27 years before I got separated.
27:51The first thing I did when I got separated was I signed up to do a degree.
27:57I did a degree in marketing part time.
27:59Oh, don't you?
28:00I had been in a relationship from such a young age that I just needed to find myself.
28:07Like, come back to the person I should have been if I, I would have been if I hadn't
28:12have gotten married when I got married.
28:14Do you travel?
28:14Yeah.
28:15I, like last year or now, I would have been in Houston, and 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, would you travel on your own?
28:27Everything I've done recently is on my own.
28:29Is on your own?
28:30Yes.
28:36How are you getting on?
28:37Happy also.
28:38Yeah.
28:38Thanks.
28:39Very good.
28:40The matchmakers have done a good job.
28:41Sorry, yeah.
28:42You'll actually never guess, his sister is the car rose.
28:45No way.
28:46I swear to God.
28:47I thought his brother is in Bora B and his sister is the car rose this year.
28:54What are the chances?
29:01Did you roll out of the outfit for us?
29:03I did, yeah.
29:04I saw the amount of stuff I had.
29:05Now you think I was staying up here for about a week, like.
29:07I went to the claw shop in the market at Walter, where I was going.
29:11Did you?
29:11I said, can't wait to me in a few days.
29:13Then I picked up iron and all that right here.
29:15Oh, brilliant.
29:18What was the best thing about your date?
29:20Let's say, figuring out if we were so close to each other.
29:22Are you okay?
29:23Is that okay?
29:23Yeah, yeah.
29:24Of course it's okay.
29:24Yeah, yeah.
29:25Are we split it?
29:26No.
29:27Are you sure?
29:27I'm positive.
29:28Yeah, old fashioned, I like it.
29:29Old fashioned, that's it.
29:32Not at all.
29:33That's one thing I was actually wondering about last night as well, like, will they take cash?
29:38Very nice girl.
29:40Very good looking girl.
29:41I was very nervous, of course, but I got over it eventually.
29:49I don't want me to get that.
29:54So, do you guys think you'd like to see each other romantically again?
30:02I was.
30:04I'd say, yeah.
30:09Thank you very much.
30:10Thank you very much.

30:16He was a culture anyway, which was the one I had asked for.
30:21Thank you very much.
30:23Thank you very much.
30:24Thank you very much.
30:25Thank you very much.
30:27Do you think he could be boyfriend material?
30:30He definitely could be, yeah.
30:32Yeah.
30:33Where will your second date be?
30:36I'll be classed with him, actually.
30:38I'll be classed with him.
30:38I'll be classed with him.
30:41I'll be classed with him.

34:52Hi, Callum
34:53Hi, Ed
34:54Hi, how's your name?
34:55Yeah
34:55Hi, Carby
34:56Nice to meet you
34:58Ladd, if you want mine
34:59Can I actually get my seat back?
35:00Yeah
35:01My day is over here
35:02Do you know what I mean?
35:02It's a bit rude
35:08Hips are good
35:09That's always a good start
35:10Yeah
35:11And your company's been lovely so far
35:13Oh, thank you
35:15Can you just speak with my mouth?
35:16Oh, 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
35:25So we all lived over fish and chip shops
35:26And whatever
35:27Italian heritage
35:28Yeah
35:29They would have come over as immigrants
35:32And 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?
35:44I call it Sunday blues
35:47That Sunday feeling
35:48When everybody's with their family
35:50Everybody's with their other half
35:51Everybody has somebody except you
35:54This is my fierce
35:55And I have a cat on a swing
35:58See, it's a bit of a joke
36:00Because
36:00Yeah, yeah
36:01Big swing
36:02Uh-huh
36:02You've got to embrace it
36:04Being single can be lonely
36:06I enjoy going to gigs on my own
36:08Or the cinema on my own
36:10But I think having company
36:11Would be a better thing
36:13Do you like your live music?
36:15Yes
36:16I love music
36:17I love my lives
36:18I love everything from opera
36:20To pop
36:22And anything in between
36:23Music makes you happy
36:25Yeah, yeah
36:25I find music medicinal
36:27Yes
36:27I'm a member of a
36:29Four-part harmony chorus
36:31Yes
36:32So in Melbourne
36:33But there's a group here
36:35That I've been to
36:36One of their meetings
36:38And so that's a group
36:41That I'd be joining
36:41Coming up
36:42There's performing
36:43Could be Wixford
36:45Okay
36:46It's down the road
36:47So
36:48Um
36:50Yeah
36:51If there's a second date
36:52Perhaps we can go there
36:58This girl is amazing
37:00She makes bread
37:02She 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
37:10Leah
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
37:22As 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
37:29If I can just
37:31Nail this next bit
37:33I think
37:33I think I'll
37:34I think I've got a winner
37:35I don't like
37:37Being in situations
37:38With people like me
37:41Like you?
37:42Yeah, people like me
37:43Who are a little bit
37:44A little bit wild
37:45And people that are calmer than you
37:47Handle you
37:48No
37:49And that's the problem
37:51You seem very calm
37:55Or is there a wildest day
37:57Yeah, 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
38:12All over the place
38:13And like
38:13It's fun to me
38:14But it can be embarrassing
38:15To some other people
38:16I think she deserves a bit better
38:19I would like to play the better
38:20If that's okay
38:20Are you sure?
38:21Absolutely
38:22Honestly
38:22You've been a delight
38:23I think I do
38:26Would you like to see each other again
38:28Romantically?
38:30Go ahead
38:32Harley, Lily's first
38:34Um
38:37I would say
38:38We'd be good as friends
38:41For sure
38:42Do you agree?
38:42Yeah
38:43I think I'd make a showy
38:45Everywhere we go
38:47Thank you
38:48My flowers
38:50There is
38:51That's right
38:52And like
38:53I think sometimes
38:55It's just not there
38:55And this time it wasn't
38:57Yeah
38:57But it doesn't mean
38:58There wasn't a spark
38:59Of like
39:00Similarity
39:01Interests
39:02Yeah
39:02Definitely
39:03Thank you
39:04It was a pleasure
39:04Thank you
39:05See ya
39:05See ya
39:06Bye
39:07It was a really fun day
39:08It was a great crack
39:09But I think we'd be really good as friends
39:11Yeah for sure
39:12Yeah for sure
39:12Yeah for sure
39:14Here go on then
39:15You might as well
39:25Can I just say I love your accent?
39:28Thank you
39:28And I love yours
39:29I can understand yours
39:31Thank you
39:31Picturing how the day could go horribly wrong
39:33I 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 education essence
39:44No way
39:46Love to me is when you're not trying to change somebody
39:48To be who you want them to be
39:51Is it okay to be vulnerable
39:53Wanting to spend time with them
39:55And being happy
39:56When they're doing something they want to do without you
40:00That it's
40:00That's okay too
40:01Sounds like you do a lot of travelling
40:03See
40:03Perhaps some
40:05You know
40:05If we were
40:06To have a second date
40:07And beyond
40:08It's something that we could do together
40:10And apart
40:11And we'd both be okay with that
40:13Absolutely
40:14I
40:15Have to be very honest
40:16Please
40:19I'm not looking to get married again
40:20I'm looking for a companion
40:23I hate that word
40:24Because it makes you sound very old
40:26But I don't mean it in that sense
40:27I get exactly what you just said
40:29Yes
40:29That'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
40:39That they get you
40:41Now there's a period in my life
40:42That I recognise that
40:44You know
40:45There's
40:45Am I lonely?
40:47No
40:48But would I like to be in a relationship?
40:50Yes
40:50Again?
40:52Yes
40:52I get you
40:54I get you
40:55That's me
40:56I'm not lonely
40:57I'm very content
41:00But I'd love somebody in my life
41:02There you go
41:02Yeah
41:03Because all I wanted Margaret
41:04Out of this was
41:05To meet someone who got me
41:07Yeah
41:07And um
41:09And that's all I wanted
41:11Was somebody who got me
41:18Mmm
41:19That umami
41:20Is so good
41:22Sorry
41:23I watch a lot of Gordon Ramsay
41:24Oh of course
41:25Of course
41:26It's my emotional support show
41:27That and the office
41:28The office is my comfort show
41:30Yeah
41:30Yeah
41:31It's my comfort show
41:31I watched that last night
41:33I did too
41:36Oh my god
41:38That's amazing
41:39Why did we both watch it?
41:41We're both nervous
41:41What would you love to come out of this?
41:44Honestly it would be great to find a partner
41:46I have six siblings
41:48I was seven of us all together
41:49Seven
41:49Big family
41:50Are you close to your family?
41:51Yeah
41:52Yeah
41:52We're very close
41:52Five of them live in America
41:54Me and my little sister live here
41:55And my parents live here as well
41:56I grew up in a very very loving household
41:59You know
41:59It was just hugs
42:00Laughter everywhere
42:02It's hard to go and be alone
42:04After 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
42:11Yeah
42:11Whatever to sell
42:12Me too
42:13Yeah
42:13Yeah
42:14How many do you want?
42:16Um
42:16Oh
42:18If you fucking say seven
42:22It's not happening
42:23Okay I'll settle for five
42:24Oh my god
42:24I'm only joking
42:26I would like just to go home to someone
42:28And you know
42:28No matter what life throws at you
42:30There's always
42:31Your best friend at home
42:32You know
42:33So it'd be nice
42:35How do you find the moving around?
42:37That's awful
42:38Yeah
42:38I'm not gonna lie
42:39Like 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
42:45And then I'm back in the hospital
42:47On medical call
42:47For four months
42:49Don't worry
42:49I'll come back every weekend
42:50No
42:50If you're crossing me
42:53No
42:54No
42:54No
42:54Honestly
42:55I travel a lot for work as well
42:57Do you?
42:58So maybe we could
42:58Do you know
42:59Circuits could work
43:00Yeah
