Speaker 6: It's time to start looking for love in all the

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 6: wrong places. I'm going on a wild dating adventure, only

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 6: picking people who are the total opposite of my type.

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 6: And after twenty eight of these days in two months,

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 6: will I find that special someone? Or Well, this experiment

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 6: proved that I should just give up on dating altogether.

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 2: It's time to find out. I'm Grace Campbell and this

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: is twenty eight dates later.

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 4: Hey Grace, Hi, you had done another date this week?

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 2: Yeah? I did.

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: I know it was bad because you've voice toned me

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: from the toilet midway to the date. Why why did

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: you go on a date with this guy?

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 6: Well, okay, so we matched on hinge and he said,

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 6: after a bit of messaging that he was a stand

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 6: up comedian. Now, I have never dated another fellow comedian

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 6: before because it's always given me loads of red flags,

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 6: to be honest, like I worry about like there being

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 6: like competitivity. I worry about us not liking each other's comedy,

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 6: which would happen a lot if I dated a male comedian,

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 6: because a lot of men don't like my comedy, and

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 6: so I've never done that before.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: But I was like, he's really good.

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 6: Looking, and I was like, let me give this a while,

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 6: because you know, maybe I'm wrong.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 7: Is he like established or is he literally just started?

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 7: Has he done any gigs?

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: He has just started?

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 6: He had done the Adam of Fringe last year, but

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 6: splitting the bill in like a pub you didn't google them.

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 6: I didn't know his surname, Okay, okay, Yeah, so I

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 6: didn't have much to go from. And that's the kind

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 6: of thing with dating apps. I want to do, like

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 6: a full background check before I meet someone. Yeah, on

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 6: the hinge, you used to get someone's surname. Once you

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 6: match them, you get their surname, but you don't.

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 7: Know Okay, I've got a question here, Okay, as I've

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 7: said multiple times here, I'm made of the game for

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 7: a long long time.

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: So on Hinge.

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 7: You don't get their surname, so you can't do a

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 7: full background of Porus. You can't know who their ex

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 7: girlfriend is, where they grew up, a school they went into.

56
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: How are you meant to know that they're like, okay.

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Not a serial killer? Yeah, I know, no honestly, but.

58
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 6: I think that works for me in the sense that

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 6: I'm glad people can't google me. I'm quite glad that

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 6: we can meet maybe first if they don't know anything

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 6: about me and like they don't just google me. And

62
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 6: then the first thing it says is Alice the Camill's daughter,

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 6: Like as my job. So I feel like it works

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 6: in my favor as well. But I agree that it's

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 6: kind of creepy because, especially with men, you want to

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 6: know that they're not a like maybe a loser, or

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 6: like have no friends, or like have dressed really badly.

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 6: Like I want to be able to vet that from

69
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 6: their social media.

70
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: Anyways, I didn't look this guy up. I was like.

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: Thinking the complete outset.

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 7: I was like, you want to want to vet them

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 7: to make sure that like they don't have any convictions

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 7: against like have good style.

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: They have.

76
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: Honestly, my main thing is neck clothes. Oh my god.

77
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 6: So okay, I'm fine if you have convictions, just don't

78
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: wear unbranded trainers. So we met on Hinge and then

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 6: we arranged a time to meet and he said he

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 6: wanted to get a bloody Mary. So we went to

81
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 6: a pub and we re.

82
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,520

00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 7: He's recently on the cover of Variety magazine the Hollywood edition.

101
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: Wow, mis Google, I know.

102
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: A lot of it sleg culture.

103
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 7: I know, you know little about dating in twenty twenty three,

104
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 7: but I know a lot of it.

105
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: So he looked it's like him like he was buff.

106
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 6: But then there was this sort of weird thing of

107
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 6: this is me having such main character syndrome. But when

108
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 6: we were talking about stand up, he was talking about

109
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 6: sort of what gigs he started doing, and like how

110
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: he sort of got into stand up. But he asked

111
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 6: me absolutely no questions about like my career, which I

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 6: was like, it's either just classic man just not taking

113
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 6: any interest in like a woman, or which is what

114
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 6: I more think it was.

115
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: He knows your life already, yeah, exactly.

116
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 6: And it's really self conscious of making it obviously he

117
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 6: knows why I am, which is even weirder.

118
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: I think that's so weird. Don't you think that's so mad?

119
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: It's even that.

120
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 6: Do you get that when you meet someone, it's really

121
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 6: obvious they know who you are, but they're like, what's

122
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 6: your name?

123
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? And I just play a long because I'm like,

124
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: this is you awkward? Had to know? It's like I

125
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: know you follow me? Yeah exactly, Like yeah, and you

126
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 4: know what I do?

127
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 7: Get it as well, Like I read think. One of

128
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 7: my friends recently was at this big parody in London

129
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 7: and she put up on her close friends being like

130
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 7: I shook hands with someone like storm Z or something

131
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 7: like that, and I asked him who he was, and

132
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 7: she's like, I just got so nervous, so I didn't

133
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 7: want to look like fun.

134
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: So I was like, okay, maybe, like you know.

135
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 6: No, it is a nerves day, I think, yeah, but

136
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 6: it's also like on a day like let's be for real.

137
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 6: Like it kind of made the whole thing quite awkward

138
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 6: because then it felt like the whole day was me

139
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 6: just asking him about his stand up career.

140
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 2: How long is your set tonight?

141
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: Uh?

142
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 6: Seven?

143
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: I think seven, men's.

144
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Sir. But I've been trying to tell jokes that are

145
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: sort of like make the audience sort of tighten up at.

146
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: The start, as in tighten up sort of like if.

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: The punchline is kind of like, oh, I don't know

148
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: if we're allowed to laugh at that.

149
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: Can you give me an example?

150
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: So one of the jokes I've been telling lately is

151
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: so I'm recently single, and I've been trying to discover

152
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: or if I have a type, and I realized I'm

153
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: most attracted to black or Jewish women.

154
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: But what can I say?

155
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: I can get enough of that ghetto booty.

156
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: And that wasn't funny at all.

157
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: It's so bad.

158
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 7: It's like so bad, Like I actually I thought I

159
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 7: was waiting because I thought.

160
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: There was an actual punchline coming or something like. No,

161
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 4: it was so bad.

162
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: No.

163
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 7: I hate when people try to tell jokes they are

164
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 7: enough funny because I have a really bad fake.

165
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: Laugh to it.

166
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: Let me see your fight glass.

167
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 7: It's like I'm forcing it out, and I instantly go

168
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 7: red because I'm like, I'm going to fun.

169
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 6: No, I know, And I find it really hard to

170
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: even with this guy does this like really bad joke.

171
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 6: But I find it really hard not to laugh at

172
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 6: someone's joke because I'm such a people pleaser and I'm like,

173
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 6: I don't want to not laugh, and then you're like,

174
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 6: oh my god, I'm such a bad comedian. But I

175
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 6: probably should have not laughed because it was a really

176
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 6: bad joke.

177
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: It wasn't even a joke.

178
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: It's a really bad joke.

179
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 6: And also like the thing that I'll say again not

180
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 6: to be like completely main character syndrome, but my opening

181
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 6: joke of my show at the moment is I'm single,

182
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 6: and I've realized recently I've got a type, and it's

183
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 6: men who would have played football professionally if they hadn't

184
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 6: injured their knee.

185
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: And you're eight. So I was like, which is actually funny, Yeah,

186
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: thank you.

187
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: And I was like this guy like he's got one

188
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 6: chance and he's giving me his opening set.

189
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: And I know I'm not like an agent, but I'm an.

190
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: Established comedian and he's saying a version of that.

191
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: But it's like the worst possible.

192
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 6: Version of I've realized I've had a type and it's

193
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 6: black and Jewish women.

194
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 7: Oh and it was a delivery, I know, so unsure

195
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 7: about the delivery.

196
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: He should have been he should be questioning it.

197
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: He should be questioning it.

198
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: You should go back to the drawing board.

199
00:08:48,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 8: Yeah.

200
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 6: Maybe I'm a bit too like mean with people, but

201
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 6: like I was trying to like take the pits out

202
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 6: of him at points, and I think.

203
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: Grace, did you bully him on the date?

204
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: I think I did, Honestly.

205
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 6: I think if you listen back, I think I kind

206
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 6: of did bully him because there's one bit where like

207
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: I just couldn't even refrain from being.

208
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: Like, what the fuck and maybe you grace. No, I know,

209
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: but maybe like.

210
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 6: Listening back to it, I'm like this, maybe this is

211
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 6: what I'm like all the time. But he said something

212
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 6: really wrong. He described a part of London. He pronounced

213
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 6: it wrong, and I was just like, no, I can't,

214
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 6: I can't do this.

215
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: I want to see your standard.

216
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Where is it said.

217
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: You're from like New Orleans? Awesome? Yeah? Where nice?

218
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: Ascending?

219
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: No, but that's just now you say it.

220
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 6: I don't need to get embarrassed like I wasn't in

221
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 6: a less public way being recorded.

222
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're correcting my pronunciation, that was but you're

223
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: from bar Yeah, well we're speaking correctly apparently.

224
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 6: No, don't know how to say.

225
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what to say. We don't say

226
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: Greenwich either.

227
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: That's true, we should should.

228
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: God, I thought, I'm really upset you.

229
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: All right, just changed the momentum.

230
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 7: Look, I'm going so red and like sweating. How awkward

231
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 7: you two are?

232
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 6: No, isn't that that awkward silence that he drinks his water?

233
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: He did send like Daniel Craigan knives out.

234
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: Yes he did.

235
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 6: Oh my, that's exactly what he sounded like, Dalston.

236
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 7: Look, I'm from Ireland, so I would probably pronounce that Darrylston.

237
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fine, but it sounds really cool when you

238
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: do it.

239
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, but that's because in Ireland.

240
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 6: But also if you if you did that, I would

241
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 6: be like, ros does not say it and he you

242
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: say Dulston Dalston.

243
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: You have an Irish.

244
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 6: Accent, so you have like that's why you would say

245
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 6: it differently because you have it an accent. He's got

246
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 6: like a Southern English accent. But then he just sounded

247
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 6: like it was in New Orleans, like, hey, we're gonna

248
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 6: go down to Dalston to that.

249
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 7: You know what, I can just instantly tell that you

250
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 7: two are never ever going to see each other again.

251
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: No, or maybe we'll bump into each other in a

252
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 6: green room of a comedy club and I'll be like lo, And.

253
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: It's crazy because he's so good looking, you know.

254
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: Like I know looks on everything.

255
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: No, they're not, and.

256
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 7: They like, you know what, after a couple of years,

257
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 7: if you're with someone and you're only with them for

258
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 7: good looks, like I.

259
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: Can tell you boring.

260
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: There want to be something else going on. Yeah, he

261
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 4: doesn't need to be funny, Yeah he needs to be

262
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 4: a funny thing.

263
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: I think just stick in your lane, like you're hot.

264
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't try and claim that you're also comedian, because

265
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 6: that's like my thing.

266
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 7: But also you're kind of like putting this big expectation

267
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 7: on that, Like you're going on a date with a comedian,

268
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 7: so you're expecting the date to be so funny.

269
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: He should have just said nothing.

270
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, judging for like an hour spent on a date

271
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 6: with him, I'm thinking he should be a model.

272
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 7: You know what, though, I hope we have to swallow

273
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 7: our words and he's like really big next year and

274
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 7: he'll be like nice, We'll be like, well, he'll go

275
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 7: on a podcast he's like, well, I remember listening to

276
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 7: this podcast. He's two girls absolutely assassinated me.

277
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: And that's when that's when I changed.

278
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 6: To me say, yeah, the moments that I've been most

279
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 6: burred on to work hard in my career is when

280
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 6: I've been rejected or like humiliated by man, and it

281
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 6: really spurs me on.

282
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: But what I don't want to do is him be

283
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: really successful.

284
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 6: And then it's like, lo, look at you, Grace, who

285
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 6: are you nothing?

286
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 8: Now?

287
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: Look at me? Look at me? The apollo it's.

288
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: Like that was their feeling moment.

289
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is his were doing him

290
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: a favor.

291
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: I just think you two guys just do not gell.

292
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 7: You can just tell like I'm listening to the kids here,

293
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 7: and I'm like, in a sweat of awkwardness.

294
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 6: No, it was really really it was really awkward, and

295
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 6: I actually wanted it to end really early.

296
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: Is this where you ran off?

297
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: I took the dog to the toilet.

298
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I've just gone to the toilet and it's just

299
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: pretty fucking boring. I don't think he has anything interesting

300
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: to say.

301
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: I do.

302
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: He's just giving me absolutely nothing.

303
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 7: I would love to have been the person in the

304
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 7: cubicle besides you being like, what the what's going on there?

305
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: I know? And I took the dog into the toilet

306
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: with me.

307
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 6: Usually when I'm on a date, I'll leave the dog

308
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 6: with the person when I go for a wee.

309
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: But I was like, I'm not leaving my dog with

310
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: this man.

311
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 4: He's not a dog person.

312
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: No. So I feel like.

313
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 6: I've been on a few dates like that where you're

314
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: just willing for it to end and you're just thinking

315
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 6: of different ways that you could leave the day, and

316
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 6: this was one of them.

317
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 7: You know what, though, Like I think everyone listening to

318
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 7: this will have been on a similar date where you're

319
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 7: just actually thinking like how can I.

320
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: Get out of this?

321
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 7: But in all honesty, it sounds like he wanted to

322
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 7: get out of it too.

323
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

324
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I I agree, I'm stealing your main character

325
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 7: energy names.

326
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: I agree. No, no, no, I.

327
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: Actually think both of you were like this needs to end.

328
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 6: It was fucking uncomfortable. Yeah, it was really uncomfortable.

329
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: And do you know what he probably knew He was like,

330
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: what are the chances?

331
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 6: But also not to be rude, but like people that

332
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: repeatedly have dates like cut short, maybe they need to

333
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: self reflect a bit.

334
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 7: My friend was actually telling me a story recently how

335
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 7: she went on a date with the guy and she

336
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 7: gave her She was like straightway, She's like, just don't

337
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 7: want to be on this date, but she's such a

338
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 7: nice person. She kind of fulfilled the date and they

339
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 7: were kind of lingering, and she went, oh, my god,

340
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 7: my friend is in town with her kids. One of

341
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 7: her kids just fall and I'm going to run over

342
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 7: to her like OtherSide town. And he went, okay, let's

343
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 7: go and started running with her, and she was like,

344
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 7: she just didn't know how to get into it. She

345
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 7: kept going, she kept running, and she was just like

346
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 7: trying to run faster, and.

347
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: She was like, no, no, it's fine, it's fine, like

348
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: you know.

349
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 7: And then she got to the shopping center where her

350
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 7: friend was not there, and then she pretended her battery

351
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 7: died and she couldn't. She just said, she just said,

352
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 7: it's like digging a hole and just couldn't get away

353
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 7: from him.

354
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. But there's kind of being on

355
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: dates with men. It's almost like you're being kidnapped.

356
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: Oh listen, terrifying, terrifying.

357
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: What's the comedians? You know that the Tommy something died

358
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: on stage? Who's that Tommy Cooper?

359
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: He died on stage? Wait?

360
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: What?

361
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: My dad always looks for him. Wait, so I have

362
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: to google that? Yeah? Wow.

363
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 6: Then fifty nineteen eighty four was one no comedy fan

364
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 6: will ever forget. Millions student to watch the hit variety

365
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 6: show live from Her Majesty's only to see Tommy Cooper

366
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 6: suffer a massive fatal heart attack on stage as he collapsed,

367
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 6: uproorious applause from an audience.

368
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: Of course, it was all part of the act.

369
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: The Welsh comedy legend died as he lived, making people laugh.

370
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is awful. No, that's that's such

371
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: a great way to go though, No, it's not.

372
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 6: It's such a bittersweet thing.

373
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: I think. I'm not sure about that.

374
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: I think if you would have died doing what you love,

375
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: like actually in the throes.

376
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: Of doing No, I'm not saying about him, it might

377
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 6: have been nice for him, but it's like a bit

378
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 6: sad that the audience that he knew loved him watched

379
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 6: him die.

380
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 4: That's something you might think and you go, well, Jesus,

381
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: I can't believe you. I thought that. You don't say

382
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: that load.

383
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 6: But it's basically I sort of feel like it's like

384
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 6: that thing. I mean, even when somebody says it's really poetic,

385
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 6: I'm like gag in my mouth, like just grow up.

386
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: Who do you think you are? But it's really like

387
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: when people.

388
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 6: Are trying to sort of make things a bit deep,

389
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 6: maybe a bit too meaningful.

390
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: And maybe he's also been too much of a contrarian.

391
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 2: I don't know.

392
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 6: It felt like he was sort of trying to like

393
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 6: have like a bit of a controversial opinion. But I

394
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 6: was just like, what is this guy talking about?

395
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, because obviously the story about your man Tommy Cooper

396
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 7: is like, oh my god, that's crazy.

397
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 4: I never heard of that either.

398
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.

399
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: But like he had a whole ordering of people who

400
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 4: watched him die.

401
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 7: He probably didn't get him help for ages because they

402
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 7: were like, oh, it's part of the show.

403
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: Well that's because they thought it was part of the act.

404
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 6: That makes me so sad thinking that a man was

405
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: literally dying while people were laughing. Imagine dying to the

406
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 6: sound of people laughing at you.

407
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: It's fucked up.

408
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 7: He was pretty young, so like that was probably quite

409
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 7: intense and painful and a horrible way to go.

410
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 6: And then people are watching you die. Yeah, I think

411
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 6: that's just awful.

412
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 4: You know what, It got worse and worse, didn't it.

413
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: It did.

414
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: I actually didn't think it could get worse, and then

415
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: it just got worse.

416
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: It was. It was a really uncomfortable day. Yeah, have

417
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: you had a nice time on this day? Average four

418
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: out of ten?

419
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been unusual. Your company is lovely, but

420
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: it's not a.

421
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 2: Date, you know, I mean, yeah, yeah, no, I get that.

422
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: I hope I don't come across like a frick.

423
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 6: You won't.

424
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: You won't promise.

425
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: You didn't come across as a prick.

426
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 7: Dan, you came across as a little bit weird though,

427
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 7: a little creepy.

428
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of a freak, Yeah, a little

429
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: bit of freak.

430
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 7: He was coming across as just been a bit dry,

431
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 7: but then he ended on a real high of being

432
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 7: like fucking weird.

433
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know what.

434
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 6: I just can't handle it when people don't even know

435
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 6: how to like remotely sort of not flir, Like it's

436
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 6: not necessarily I'm asking you to flir, but like there's

437
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 6: a spectrum, and he was so far on the other

438
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 6: end of weird that there was sort of no way

439
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 6: for it to be like a fun day because I

440
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 6: was like, if you're maybe joking about some of these

441
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 6: things you're saying, then I can take the piss out

442
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 6: of you.

443
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: And I did try and take the piss out of you.

444
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: You told me that I was condescending.

445
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, Like it's funny.

446
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 7: It's one of the one where I'm like, I almost

447
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 7: would like for you to go and meet him again

448
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 7: to actually see because it was obviously he knew he's

449
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 7: being recorded, he just wasn't himself.

450
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 6: Or we should go, and we should go and I'll

451
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 6: go in disguise to gigs.

452
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I wouldn't put you through that, that would

453
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: be great.

454
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,120

Speaker 6: we went to like a mini golf that was sex theme.

461
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: Not a drugsposition. Crazy golf and sex. I can't think

462
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 4: of an environment that's least sexual than crazy golf.

463
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:54,439
