<v Speaker 1>Novel.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>This show contains adult material and swearing. You have been warned.

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I've just gone to the toilet and I don't

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 3>think he has anything interesting to say.

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 4>I do feel.

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Abound, but he's just giving me absolutely nothing.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 5>Me I'm a savage.

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you bored of modern dating?

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 6>Meeting the same people from the same apps in the

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 6>same bar You've only chosen because it's close to your

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 6>house and you can make your usual quick getaway. It's

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 6>time to change the narrative on how we find love.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 6>It's time to start looking for love in all the

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 6>wrong places. I'm going on a wild dating adventure, only

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 6>picking people who are the total opposite of my type.

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 6>And after twenty eight of these days in two months,

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 6>will I find that special someone? Or Well, this experiment

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 6>proved that I should just give up on dating altogether.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 2>It's time to find out. I'm Grace Campbell and this

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 2>is twenty eight dates later.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 4>Hey Grace, Hi, you had done another date this week?

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I did.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 4>I know it was bad because you've voice toned me

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 4>from the toilet midway to the date. Why why did

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 4>you go on a date with this guy?

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.279
<v Speaker 6>Well, okay, so we matched on hinge and he said,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.199
<v Speaker 6>after a bit of messaging that he was a stand

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 6>up comedian. Now, I have never dated another fellow comedian

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 6>before because it's always given me loads of red flags,

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 6>to be honest, like I worry about like there being

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 6>like competitivity. I worry about us not liking each other's comedy,

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 6>which would happen a lot if I dated a male comedian,

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 6>because a lot of men don't like my comedy, and

0:01:58.560 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 6>so I've never done that before.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>But I was like, he's really good.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 6>Looking, and I was like, let me give this a while,

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 6>because you know, maybe I'm wrong.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 7>Is he like established or is he literally just started?

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 7>Has he done any gigs?

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>He has just started?

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 6>He had done the Adam of Fringe last year, but

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 6>splitting the bill in like a pub you didn't google them.

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 6>I didn't know his surname, Okay, okay, Yeah, so I

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 6>didn't have much to go from. And that's the kind

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 6>of thing with dating apps. I want to do, like

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.399
<v Speaker 6>a full background check before I meet someone. Yeah, on

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 6>the hinge, you used to get someone's surname. Once you

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 6>match them, you get their surname, but you don't.

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 7>Know Okay, I've got a question here, Okay, as I've

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 7>said multiple times here, I'm made of the game for

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 7>a long long time.

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 4>So on Hinge.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 7>You don't get their surname, so you can't do a

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 7>full background of Porus. You can't know who their ex

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 7>girlfriend is, where they grew up, a school they went into.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 4>How are you meant to know that they're like, okay.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Not a serial killer? Yeah, I know, no honestly, but.

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 6>I think that works for me in the sense that

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm glad people can't google me. I'm quite glad that

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 6>we can meet maybe first if they don't know anything

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 6>about me and like they don't just google me. And

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 6>then the first thing it says is Alice the Camill's daughter,

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 6>Like as my job. So I feel like it works

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 6>in my favor as well. But I agree that it's

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 6>kind of creepy because, especially with men, you want to

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 6>know that they're not a like maybe a loser, or

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 6>like have no friends, or like have dressed really badly.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 6>Like I want to be able to vet that from

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 6>their social media.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, I didn't look this guy up. I was like.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Thinking the complete outset.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 7>I was like, you want to want to vet them

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 7>to make sure that like they don't have any convictions

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 7>against like have good style.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 4>They have.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, my main thing is neck clothes. Oh my god.

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 6>So okay, I'm fine if you have convictions, just don't

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 6>wear unbranded trainers. So we met on Hinge and then

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 6>we arranged a time to meet and he said he

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 6>wanted to get a bloody Mary. So we went to

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 6>a pub and we re.

0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Each had a bloody mary.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 6>Is So tell me, so you how is stand up

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 6>going good?

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy it, which I think is the main thing.

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.119
<v Speaker 2>And how much are you gigging as much as possible?

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 2>What do you watch your other work?

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 6>A model?

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, so that's very like sporadic right yeah. Yeah,

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>so I have a lot of three time, so when

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.560

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, good for you.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what I call garbos. Thanks, you're welcome. He was

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>baf first of all, like he's very good looking.

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>What he looked like He looked.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 6>Like the guy from Bridgerton reggae Jean Page.

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh guy. Yeah.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 4>He was also voted when the hottest men in the world.

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 7>He's recently on the cover of Variety magazine the Hollywood edition.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Wow, mis Google, I know.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 4>A lot of it sleg culture.

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 7>I know, you know little about dating in twenty twenty three,

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 7>but I know a lot of it.

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 2>So he looked it's like him like he was buff.

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 6>But then there was this sort of weird thing of

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 6>this is me having such main character syndrome. But when

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 6>we were talking about stand up, he was talking about

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 6>sort of what gigs he started doing, and like how

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 6>he sort of got into stand up. But he asked

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 6>me absolutely no questions about like my career, which I

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 6>was like, it's either just classic man just not taking

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 6>any interest in like a woman, or which is what

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 6>I more think it was.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 4>He knows your life already, yeah, exactly.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 6>And it's really self conscious of making it obviously he

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 6>knows why I am, which is even weirder.

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that's so weird. Don't you think that's so mad?

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>It's even that.

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 6>Do you get that when you meet someone, it's really

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 6>obvious they know who you are, but they're like, what's

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 6>your name?

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? And I just play a long because I'm like,

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 4>this is you awkward? Had to know? It's like I

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 4>know you follow me? Yeah exactly, Like yeah, and you

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 4>know what I do?

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 7>Get it as well, Like I read think. One of

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 7>my friends recently was at this big parody in London

0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 7>and she put up on her close friends being like

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 7>I shook hands with someone like storm Z or something

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 7>like that, and I asked him who he was, and

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 7>she's like, I just got so nervous, so I didn't

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 7>want to look like fun.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 4>So I was like, okay, maybe, like you know.

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 6>No, it is a nerves day, I think, yeah, but

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 6>it's also like on a day like let's be for real.

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 6>Like it kind of made the whole thing quite awkward

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 6>because then it felt like the whole day was me

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 6>just asking him about his stand up career.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.679
<v Speaker 2>How long is your set tonight?

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 6>Seven?

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I think seven, men's.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Sir. But I've been trying to tell jokes that are

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of like make the audience sort of tighten up at.

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 2>The start, as in tighten up sort of like if.

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>The punchline is kind of like, oh, I don't know

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>if we're allowed to laugh at that.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Can you give me an example?

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>So one of the jokes I've been telling lately is

0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>so I'm recently single, and I've been trying to discover

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>or if I have a type, and I realized I'm

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>most attracted to black or Jewish women.

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>But what can I say?

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I can get enough of that ghetto booty.

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 4>And that wasn't funny at all.

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 2>It's so bad.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 7>It's like so bad, Like I actually I thought I

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 7>was waiting because I thought.

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 4>There was an actual punchline coming or something like. No,

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 4>it was so bad.

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 7>I hate when people try to tell jokes they are

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 7>enough funny because I have a really bad fake.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 4>Laugh to it.

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Let me see your fight glass.

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 7>It's like I'm forcing it out, and I instantly go

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 7>red because I'm like, I'm going to fun.

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 6>No, I know, And I find it really hard to

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 6>even with this guy does this like really bad joke.

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 6>But I find it really hard not to laugh at

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 6>someone's joke because I'm such a people pleaser and I'm like,

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to not laugh, and then you're like,

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 6>oh my god, I'm such a bad comedian. But I

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 6>probably should have not laughed because it was a really

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 6>bad joke.

0:07:58.560 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't even a joke.

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 2>It's a really bad joke.

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 6>And also like the thing that I'll say again not

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 6>to be like completely main character syndrome, but my opening

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 6>joke of my show at the moment is I'm single,

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 6>and I've realized recently I've got a type, and it's

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 6>men who would have played football professionally if they hadn't

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 6>injured their knee.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>And you're eight. So I was like, which is actually funny, Yeah,

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>thank you.

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 6>And I was like this guy like he's got one

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 6>chance and he's giving me his opening set.

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>And I know I'm not like an agent, but I'm an.

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 6>Established comedian and he's saying a version of that.

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But it's like the worst possible.

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 6>Version of I've realized I've had a type and it's

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 6>black and Jewish women.

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 7>Oh and it was a delivery, I know, so unsure

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 7>about the delivery.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>He should have been he should be questioning it.

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 4>He should be questioning it.

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>You should go back to the drawing board.

0:08:48.600 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 6>Maybe I'm a bit too like mean with people, but

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.439
<v Speaker 6>like I was trying to like take the pits out

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 6>of him at points, and I think.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 4>Grace, did you bully him on the date?

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I did, Honestly.

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 6>I think if you listen back, I think I kind

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 6>of did bully him because there's one bit where like

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 6>I just couldn't even refrain from being.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, what the fuck and maybe you grace. No, I know,

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 2>but maybe like.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 6>Listening back to it, I'm like this, maybe this is

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 6>what I'm like all the time. But he said something

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 6>really wrong. He described a part of London. He pronounced

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 6>it wrong, and I was just like, no, I can't,

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 6>I can't do this.

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to see your standard.

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Where is it said.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 2>You're from like New Orleans? Awesome? Yeah? Where nice?

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Ascending?

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.719
<v Speaker 2>No, but that's just now you say it.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 6>I don't need to get embarrassed like I wasn't in

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 6>a less public way being recorded.

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you're correcting my pronunciation, that was but you're

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>from bar Yeah, well we're speaking correctly apparently.

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 6>No, don't know how to say.

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know what to say. We don't say

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Greenwich either.

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>That's true, we should should.

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>God, I thought, I'm really upset you.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, just changed the momentum.

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 7>Look, I'm going so red and like sweating. How awkward

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 7>you two are?

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 6>No, isn't that that awkward silence that he drinks his water?

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 4>He did send like Daniel Craigan knives out.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes he did.

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:13.439
<v Speaker 6>Oh my, that's exactly what he sounded like, Dalston.

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.079
<v Speaker 7>Look, I'm from Ireland, so I would probably pronounce that Darrylston.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's fine, but it sounds really cool when you

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, but that's because in Ireland.

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 6>But also if you if you did that, I would

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 6>be like, ros does not say it and he you

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 6>say Dulston Dalston.

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>You have an Irish.

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.559
<v Speaker 6>Accent, so you have like that's why you would say

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 6>it differently because you have it an accent. He's got

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 6>like a Southern English accent. But then he just sounded

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 6>like it was in New Orleans, like, hey, we're gonna

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 6>go down to Dalston to that.

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 7>You know what, I can just instantly tell that you

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 7>two are never ever going to see each other again.

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 6>No, or maybe we'll bump into each other in a

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 6>green room of a comedy club and I'll be like lo, And.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy because he's so good looking, you know.

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I know looks on everything.

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 4>No, they're not, and.

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 7>They like, you know what, after a couple of years,

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 7>if you're with someone and you're only with them for

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 7>good looks, like I.

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Can tell you boring.

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 4>There want to be something else going on. Yeah, he

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.439
<v Speaker 4>doesn't need to be funny, Yeah he needs to be

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 4>a funny thing.

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I think just stick in your lane, like you're hot.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, don't try and claim that you're also comedian, because

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.959
<v Speaker 6>that's like my thing.

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 7>But also you're kind of like putting this big expectation

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 7>on that, Like you're going on a date with a comedian,

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 7>so you're expecting the date to be so funny.

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 4>He should have just said nothing.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, judging for like an hour spent on a date

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 6>with him, I'm thinking he should be a model.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.079
<v Speaker 7>You know what, though, I hope we have to swallow

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 7>our words and he's like really big next year and

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 7>he'll be like nice, We'll be like, well, he'll go

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 7>on a podcast he's like, well, I remember listening to

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 7>this podcast. He's two girls absolutely assassinated me.

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 4>And that's when that's when I changed.

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 6>To me say, yeah, the moments that I've been most

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 6>burred on to work hard in my career is when

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 6>I've been rejected or like humiliated by man, and it

0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 6>really spurs me on.

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>But what I don't want to do is him be

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>really successful.

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 6>And then it's like, lo, look at you, Grace, who

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 6>are you nothing?

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 8>Now?

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Look at me? Look at me? The apollo it's.

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Like that was their feeling moment.

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is his were doing him

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>a favor.

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I just think you two guys just do not gell.

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 7>You can just tell like I'm listening to the kids here,

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 7>and I'm like, in a sweat of awkwardness.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 6>No, it was really really it was really awkward, and

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 6>I actually wanted it to end really early.

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Is this where you ran off?

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I took the dog to the toilet.

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I've just gone to the toilet and it's just

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 3>pretty fucking boring. I don't think he has anything interesting

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 3>to say.

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 4>I do.

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 3>He's just giving me absolutely nothing.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 7>I would love to have been the person in the

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 7>cubicle besides you being like, what the what's going on there?

0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 2>I know? And I took the dog into the toilet

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 2>with me.

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.559
<v Speaker 6>Usually when I'm on a date, I'll leave the dog

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 6>with the person when I go for a wee.

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 2>But I was like, I'm not leaving my dog with

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>this man.

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 4>He's not a dog person.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>No. So I feel like.

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 6>I've been on a few dates like that where you're

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 6>just willing for it to end and you're just thinking

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 6>of different ways that you could leave the day, and

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 6>this was one of them.

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 7>You know what, though, Like I think everyone listening to

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 7>this will have been on a similar date where you're

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 7>just actually thinking like how can I.

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 4>Get out of this?

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 7>But in all honesty, it sounds like he wanted to

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 7>get out of it too.

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I I agree, I'm stealing your main character

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 7>energy names.

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I agree. No, no, no, I.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 4>Actually think both of you were like this needs to end.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 6>It was fucking uncomfortable. Yeah, it was really uncomfortable.

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 4>And do you know what he probably knew He was like,

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 4>what are the chances?

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 6>But also not to be rude, but like people that

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 6>repeatedly have dates like cut short, maybe they need to

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 6>self reflect a bit.

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 7>My friend was actually telling me a story recently how

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 7>she went on a date with the guy and she

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 7>gave her She was like straightway, She's like, just don't

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 7>want to be on this date, but she's such a

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 7>nice person. She kind of fulfilled the date and they

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 7>were kind of lingering, and she went, oh, my god,

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 7>my friend is in town with her kids. One of

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 7>her kids just fall and I'm going to run over

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 7>to her like OtherSide town. And he went, okay, let's

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 7>go and started running with her, and she was like,

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 7>she just didn't know how to get into it. She

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 7>kept going, she kept running, and she was just like

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 7>trying to run faster, and.

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 4>She was like, no, no, it's fine, it's fine, like

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 7>And then she got to the shopping center where her

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 7>friend was not there, and then she pretended her battery

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 7>died and she couldn't. She just said, she just said,

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 7>it's like digging a hole and just couldn't get away

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 7>from him.

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what I mean. But there's kind of being on

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>dates with men. It's almost like you're being kidnapped.

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh listen, terrifying, terrifying.

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>What's the comedians? You know that the Tommy something died

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>on stage? Who's that Tommy Cooper?

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>He died on stage? Wait?

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>My dad always looks for him. Wait, so I have

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 2>to google that? Yeah? Wow.

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 6>Then fifty nineteen eighty four was one no comedy fan

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 6>will ever forget. Millions student to watch the hit variety

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 6>show live from Her Majesty's only to see Tommy Cooper

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 6>suffer a massive fatal heart attack on stage as he collapsed,

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 6>uproorious applause from an audience.

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it was all part of the act.

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 6>The Welsh comedy legend died as he lived, making people laugh.

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, that is awful. No, that's that's such

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 2>a great way to go though, No, it's not.

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 6>It's such a bittersweet thing.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I think. I'm not sure about that.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I think if you would have died doing what you love,

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>like actually in the throes.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 6>Of doing No, I'm not saying about him, it might

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 6>have been nice for him, but it's like a bit

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 6>sad that the audience that he knew loved him watched

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 6>him die.

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 4>That's something you might think and you go, well, Jesus,

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe you. I thought that. You don't say

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 4>that load.

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 6>But it's basically I sort of feel like it's like

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 6>that thing. I mean, even when somebody says it's really poetic,

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 6>I'm like gag in my mouth, like just grow up.

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Who do you think you are? But it's really like

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 2>when people.

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 6>Are trying to sort of make things a bit deep,

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 6>maybe a bit too meaningful.

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 2>And maybe he's also been too much of a contrarian.

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 6>It felt like he was sort of trying to like

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 6>have like a bit of a controversial opinion. But I

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 6>was just like, what is this guy talking about?

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, because obviously the story about your man Tommy Cooper

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.880
<v Speaker 7>is like, oh my god, that's crazy.

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 4>I never heard of that either.

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that.

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.119
<v Speaker 4>But like he had a whole ordering of people who

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:26.719
<v Speaker 4>watched him die.

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.679
<v Speaker 7>He probably didn't get him help for ages because they

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 7>were like, oh, it's part of the show.

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Well that's because they thought it was part of the act.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 6>That makes me so sad thinking that a man was

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 6>literally dying while people were laughing. Imagine dying to the

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 6>sound of people laughing at you.

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 2>It's fucked up.

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 7>He was pretty young, so like that was probably quite

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 7>intense and painful and a horrible way to go.

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 6>And then people are watching you die. Yeah, I think

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 6>that's just awful.

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.920
<v Speaker 4>You know what, It got worse and worse, didn't it.

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 2>It did.

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 4>I actually didn't think it could get worse, and then

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 4>it just got worse.

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>It was. It was a really uncomfortable day. Yeah, have

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you had a nice time on this day? Average four

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 2>out of ten?

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's been unusual. Your company is lovely, but

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not a.

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Date, you know, I mean, yeah, yeah, no, I get that.

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I hope I don't come across like a frick.

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 6>You won't.

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You won't promise.

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 4>You didn't come across as a prick.

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 7>Dan, you came across as a little bit weird though,

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 7>a little creepy.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a little bit of a freak, Yeah, a little

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 2>bit of freak.

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 7>He was coming across as just been a bit dry,

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 7>but then he ended on a real high of being

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 7>like fucking weird.

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you know what.

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.719
<v Speaker 6>I just can't handle it when people don't even know

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.719
<v Speaker 6>how to like remotely sort of not flir, Like it's

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 6>not necessarily I'm asking you to flir, but like there's

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.200
<v Speaker 6>a spectrum, and he was so far on the other

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 6>end of weird that there was sort of no way

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 6>for it to be like a fun day because I

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 6>was like, if you're maybe joking about some of these

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:53.880
<v Speaker 6>things you're saying, then I can take the piss out

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 6>of you.

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 2>And I did try and take the piss out of you.

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>You told me that I was condescending.

0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know what, Like it's funny.

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 7>It's one of the one where I'm like, I almost

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 7>would like for you to go and meet him again

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 7>to actually see because it was obviously he knew he's

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 7>being recorded, he just wasn't himself.

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Or we should go, and we should go and I'll

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 6>go in disguise to gigs.

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I wouldn't put you through that, that would

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 2>be great.

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 6>we went to like a mini golf that was sex theme.

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Not a drugsposition. Crazy golf and sex. I can't think

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.360
<v Speaker 4>of an environment that's least sexual than crazy golf.

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:54.439
