0:56Welcome to Nearly Parents Speed Dating Can I get a whoop whoop? You can get a whoop whoop. Okay, we have a very exciting episode for you today, guys, because Audible, which is the go-to destination for all flavours of romance, approached us with an idea to help bring a nearly parent speed dating concept to life. And when anyone brings us anything like that, we are down. And if it's with dating, I miss it, so we're down to be a part of it. We're going to live vicariously for you guys. Oh, I'm going to live vicariously through them. And before we get into it, by the way, a huge, huge thank you to Audible, because these guys know romance.

1:32Listeners of the podcast will also know that Sophie often teases me for pretending to be a keen reader, but with Audible subscription, I can genuinely be a real-life bookworm. Oh, 100%. And their lineup of romance stories is... It's unmatched, everyone. They have it all. Okay, they've got the Sweeney rom-coms, they've got the fantastical epic romances, they've got classic enemies-to-lover stories, and, I mean, they've got everything in between. Can I say this? You've been loving your audiobooks, haven't you? because there are certain moments when I know you're listening and you get a little bit frisky.

2:02No, listen, I'll be in the absolute pregnancy trenches and honestly, I just need to slap on an audiobook and it's like I'm transported to a whole new world where you don't exist. Okay, why do you want to be transported to a whole new world? It's the best, honestly. I mean, I cannot wait for the new Pride and Prejudice audiobook with Marissa Abella and Harris Dickinson. Harris Dickinson, I said that. Can I just ask you a quick question? on that are you excited about pride and prejudice or are you excited about harris dickinson harris dickinson okay because you did watch the movie that he was in and come back one night and you you asked me if i could dance like him in that no i didn't you did i didn't because that would have ruined the vision for me i just i don't know where he is in the world but i'd like to find out in your ears it sounds like soon soon to be okay so here's how it's going to work we put the ask out to find the listeners of the podcast who are looking for love and we asked them if they'd like to go on a quick speed date, just a short phone call.

2:58It's very simple, with another fan of the show to see if we could spark up something. Basically, we're like Cupid on crack. Cupid or Cupid? Cupid. You said Cupid. I've never said Cupid in my life. You said we're like Cupid. Anyway, we went through tons of profiles to find the best possible matches. And we started three phone dates. So today, we're going to chat with three of the daters and break down how it went, featuring real clips. Yes, real clips from the actual dates that happened. I actually can't wait. Why are you excited? Because this is like watching the inside scoop. It's like seeing everything everyone wants to know in real life.

3:35I'm going to find out what they like about each other, what they don't know about each other, what they're nervous about, what they're excited about. It's everything a girl wants to know. So before we bring in our first data and see if they found their date was more of a swoony rom-com or epic romance. So if you want your best dating advice? Don't shag them on the first date. Boring. And don't eat spaghetti bolognese because it stains your lips and it looks weird. Sorry, those are your, like, three... Very superficial, I know, and I'm proud of it. Don't eat spaghetti. Don't sleep with them on the first date.

4:08Bolognese. Who wants that red lip look after? It's not good. You've had a lot of dates in your lifetime, haven't you? I've had my fair share. Have you had any nightmare dates? Oh, yeah, I've had some nightmare dates. Well, tell us. Basically, I met this girl and we were in a nightclub, so we were sitting down and I invited her out for dinner and when I walked into the restaurant she was sitting down and then she stood up and she was about 6 foot 1 and you're 5 foot 5 so it didn't quite she was surprised about my height and I was surprised about her height so it didn't quite match that was a bit of a nightmare day there's nothing wrong with a short king I'll tell you what did sound like a nightmare day that you went on and you ate edamame beans and then she ate your shell your empty shell okay listen one last piece of housekeeping me and Sophie gave all our daters some icebreaker questions to get the chat going because we're good at that.

4:54So if you hear any killer icebreakers, just know they came from us. Are you ready for this? Boy, am I ready. Please welcome in data number uno.

5:10Charlie, welcome. Charlie, welcome. Charlie, welcome. Thank you, guys. Charlie's from Clapham and she loves to hang out at Northcote Records. Is that right? I do. I do love a bit of Northcote Records. Anna the Eagle. So if today's date doesn't go well, any boys, you want to find Charlie, that's where you find her. Yeah, but no. I went there the other day and I was like, oh, the boys. I've just seen them on every single dating app. And whenever me and my girl mates go, everyone has matched with like the same person. Oh my God. Is he, what's he, what's that boy saying? I'm interested. No, it's multiple boys.

5:42Oh God. Any of them good? No. To be fair, if I was single and on a dating app, I would complete it in some sort of way. I would like match with everyone no but you have to be matched back hun I would be matched back I don't know about that you would complete it do you know would I be unmatched by everyone completing it means that you'd like have sex with everyone I wouldn't have sex with anyone no I wouldn't do that I would just say that I would try and match with everyone you would try your best and you would fail miserably like like like like what is your type I just want to know that oh god I don't even know my type and my mates wouldn't even know my type I go for completely different people but I think my type now after I had the incident the other day when everyone had matched in this pub I was walking home and I went to a petrol station got myself a pepper army and I was just walking and I was like you know what I want a surfer boy who's just living on the beach just like chilled outside of London and is yeah we're Brighton really maybe or Cornwall you're thinking Bristol Devin Bristol the Bristol that wave the fake wave go there find a surfer boy what about Blackpool isn't that by the sea blackpool is by the city blackpool is by the city you used to go there on school trips okay jolly so we set you up with joe a blackpool born london bound physio who loves to travel loves the gym hiking and a pint let's hear how it went if you had a pub what would you call it oh my god you couldn't have asked that question because me and my mates talk about this all the time no so do i we literally like this is my one of my favorite questions is sitting down and being like right Like if you had a pub, like what's it called?

7:19Are you doing pub quizzes? What's the food? What's the like music situation? Yeah. So, I mean, I do think my mates is better. His is called Night of the Realm. Oh, I like that. But mine was like, I didn't really get the other connotation that it could like be misconstrued, but like a fiddler's tale. A fiddler's tale? yeah well i was thinking like oh you know like someone who plays like a fiddle but then like i also forgot oh yeah maybe evoke some um maybe you know maybe give the wrong message across um so i kind of like that was mine originally but then i kind of i've like veered away from that one now um based on i think owner what what are you doing in the fiddler's tale what what doesn't happen in the fiddler's tale that is the question so okay let's break this down quickly So, Soph, what do you think?

8:18He's so cute, guys. I actually love him. He wanted to call himself, is pub the Fiddler's Tale? I'm not mad about it. I'll definitely pop into the Fiddler's Tale. What would you call your pub? What was it called? The Yawning Horse. Did he get to ask you that afterwards? Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, and then I probably banged on for hours about my pub quiz there, the dance boards. Yeah, you're reaching for conversation. I get it. I get it. Honey, what would you call your pub? the sun and the moon that's closing down within months the sun the sun and then board it up okay charlie we have another clip for you you ready for this yeah let's go if you planned our first date where are you taking me i'm guessing this is like ideal circumstances like you've woken up it's a beautiful day like sunshine and nice clouds in the sky birds are chirping I'm just setting the scene.

9:13No, I'm picturing it, I'm picturing it. Yeah, yeah, just close your eyes if you want, if you want to visualize it more. I think... No, the fact I'm actually sat here with my eyes closed is a bit strange. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I really, I appreciate the effort. So I think I'd probably look at doing something outdoors, but maybe like something, if it's in the city, like going to like a canal or something when it's like a sunny day, maybe like just like park it you know park not park or like kind of find somewhere to sit maybe like a picnic vibe this is like the perfect answer because i was speaking to my mates about this and they were like what would you do and i was like it would have to be near water involve a picnic nice sunny day didn't mention the birds chirping but we can throw that in there i mean i mean i mean do you not want any birds chirping kind of a big deal breaker for you yeah no it is now what are we having on our picnic what food i mean obviously i'd probably you know i'd extend the question like you know any dietary requirements are you any preferences like you're vegetarian or you just you just eat anything and everything i eat pretty much everything this is gonna make me sound snobby but it's actually not apart from lobster because lobster are my favorite animals and whenever i say that i then i then sound like i'm just there eating lobster left I'm not frying rhubarb.

10:29I'm not. Like, you can't, like, move a lobster in your house. Like, it's just everywhere. Like, honestly. I think you're a great dater. Me too. Like, if I went on a date with you and I had that conversation, I'd be like, this guy's a vibe. You're so unboring. Yeah. That's what you want. And your favourite animal's a lobster? Yeah. Why a lobster? Because you want to find your lobster. I want to find my lobster. They come in pairs. What's your favourite animal? A turtle. She wants to find her turtle. Well, she's found her turtle and he's right here. He's free. No more looking for that. Okay, Charlie, we have one more clip.

11:01Okay, I'm nervous. And then we're going to chat through the whole vibe. Let's play the final clip. Are you a reserved and coy romantic like Mr. Darcy or an explosive romantic like Jay Gatsby? Well, I think I'd be more a bit of Mr. Darcy. I'd probably lean to Darcy. But then again, I'd say Jay Gatsby was probably quite coy. He threw all these amazing parties, but it was all just in case, you know, his kind of like love eventually turned up, wasn't it? So it's kind of like he's explosive, but he's not also kind of like not very direct. I think I'm probably more direct, but maybe a bit more subtle.

11:40Interesting. Oh. No, he's so sweet. I really, really like him. I hope you like. Okay, listen. This is the big question. Are you keen to see your day in real life? I don't know. What, Charlie? No, I didn't expect that. No, I actually don't know. Let's break this down. Let's just break this down very quickly. There's a lot to unpack. The beginning, it felt like it was an interview. Yeah. And then I went from thinking Joe was like a bit boring to actually know. He's got a bit of conversation. He's really nice. He may be wholesome. He seems like a lovely, lovely guy. He's a family man. Is he too sweet?

12:13But that's what you want. You've only seen one side of him. That's true. Surely you want to see the other side. Well, I also, yeah, I feel like I'm intrigued. He also, I feel like he likes lobsters. I think he might. I think he might too. He might be my lobster. Okay, so the big question for you right now is this. Are you going to text them or not text him? I'm going to text him. Let's go! Let's go, Charlie! Let's go! What are you going to send in the message? Oh, no. Will you be my lobster? Shall I? I think maybe a bit full on. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you're going to text him. Yeah. I'm proud of you, even though we've just met.

12:55Big moves. Thanks, guys. And I think it's going to be the most wondrous thing. Will you keep us up and say what happens? I absolutely will. Charlie, we love you, man. You're the greatest. Good luck, Charlie. Thank you so much. Thanks, guys.

13:10Tom. Hi. Hi, Tom. Hello, good to see you. I love your accent. Where are you from? Belfast. The best. From the back of the hut. Oh, sorry. What was that? The Belfast axis. That's more Liverpool. That's Spice. So lovely. You know what I mean? I could listen to it all day. You said you're a little bit gassy. Oh my God, stop. But out your mouth rather than your ass. No, the acid reflux. No, I just can't, I can't like stop. Like I'm like burping a bit over the mouth. Have you got pregnancy symptoms in sympathy for me? Acid reflux, that's what's happened. That's it. You saw me and you thought, I'll make her feel less bad.

13:43You guys spoke recently about like, what's it like the word for a phantom pregnancy or something? Yeah, I have it. You have it. I kind of have it too. I feel. I really appreciate that. I love you. We're all kind of pregnant. It's beautiful. We should start a family together. Yeah. We should all move in together and start a family. It wouldn't be weird. It would be like really nice. And I could grow a moustache like you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Or I could also. You could grow a moustache. I could stick one on. Like all of our pregnant tummies just like touching and all like. I know. Our photos are just mummies.

14:13No, I feel like I made a weird thing like kind of weirder. Our family photos would just be us three moustaches. Yes. Yeah, Philly. Talk to me about recent dating history This year I feel like was different from like all the other years Like this year was kind of bonkers My Saturn's returning guys So you're 27? 27 yes I feel like this year I've been very Like even when I really didn't want to do it I've just been doing it more to do it You know So you're saying you kissed a lot of people Oh my god Let's freaking go 27's that year Crazy How many dates a week Are we talking It would be like A quiet month And then Like July was like Guys Three a week Oh my Tom give it to me I feel like there was like A week That was like seven Seven for seven Take a bath Right Seven for seven That is a run Let's go It was like By the end I was just like Did you kiss everyone No You were exhausted By the end either Yeah because you're getting To like the rehearsed thing And it's like Yeah yeah I'm from Belfast and I have three siblings and a doll called Molly.

15:22You know, like it's like... How was the acid reflux on the date? Crazy. I'm like, I just need to go to the toilet here and then I like erupt and I really hate this part of my narrative, the acid reflux thing. Like, we can remove it. We can remove it. This can't be my legacy. So you've never had acid reflux? Never. Never. Completely. You nervous when you go on dates? I imagine you're not. Okay, because this year got rid of the nerves. I was always nervous. I feel like gay boys, like, don't date a lot. Oh my God, the violins are playing. But like, I didn't do it through uni at all. And then like, post uni, I feel like I've just been trying to like, throw myself into it.

15:59Oh yeah, so you've caught up for lost time. That's exactly what it is. A gay boy has like a delayed youth, I think. I need to just quickly ask about this. Ghosting is the new thing. It's 2025's thing, isn't it? I think so. It's kind of chic. What the hell? No. It's a straight up ghost. You go on three dates with someone and then what? You just never talk to them. I've had a few Like You know Sometimes it's a bullshit Actually the lengths People will go to To Say that they don't Want to date you anymore Is kind of bonkers Like one I'm just like Going through a lot Right now And whatever And it's like Just like say You don't want to Go on a date again Like it's not Do you know Like it's like It's not deep Your friend is not Having an emergency today You are fine You're actually Not stressed at work Okay Sure I know what you mean though I know what you mean Do you know it's like To stop themselves From ghosting They feel like they need an elaborate excuse.

16:49You'd rather the ghosting? I'd rather the ghost rather than you take me for a damn fool. But hang on, Tom, have you, do you, do you just play, I don't want to date you again or do you come up with an excuse? No, no, like I have ghosted myself to be fair because you're just like, I just like don't want to deal with that so I'm sorry. Do they double text you like three times in a row and you're like, babe, get the message? Some of them have, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm saying that as if I'm like Casanova, like, yeah, they're texting me, oh my God, my phone's going off that I'm drunk, you know? Like, no, like not many people are double texting me, to be honest, you know?

20:27He was. Which would throw and spin me out too. Right. Because even though it was like, there was no visual, like I'm there being like, like, like I'm moving my hands. Do you know what I mean? Like as if he can see. Is it strange when you don't, because you said it's like 90s, when you can't see them, was that a bit disconcerting? It was giving a line. It was giving, do you know, like, like, hello. Like maybe I'm like a girl from the 90s on the hotline sort of a thing. Do you know, from the start, I'm kind of getting a good vibe, but I don't know what happens, but I'm feeling like there's a bit of a connection going.

20:56Me too. I feel like you were flustered in the sense that you fancied him personally. Oh, wow. God, you guys are all about the Hollywood, about the rom-com. Oh, yeah. Not at all. Okay, before we listen to the clip, a little bit of context. This is where Tom reveals about his failed entry into Berkheim on a recent trip to Berlin. I didn't get into Berkheim, so. No, did you try? I did, yeah, yeah. But I get to the door and he was like, I didn't cue you at all. There was no line when I went. and we went like 11 p.m. I went and he asked me first in German and then I don't speak German. So I was like, I just stared at him.

I've had such a good time. Yeah, you're such a big. Come back any time. Thanks. Thank you, guys. Well, everyone, welcome to the third data. It's Dapper. Let's go. Dapper, you actually have a podcast as well, don't you?

26:33I do indeed. I do indeed. What's it called? Called Vinyl Wedding Place. Man, I love that. Podcasts and podcasters gather in the room. It's like a melting pot of creation. Okay, so Dapo, listen. Dating history, give it to me. Bad. How bad? Like, ups and downs. I've had some really, really good ones and I've had some really, really bad ones. I'm one of those people who's perpetually single, if I'm being honest. One long-term relationship in my 27 years of life. the rest of them very much like situationships, shall we say. Okay, okay. And what, it doesn't work out for you or for them or both? I'm often the dumper.

27:13Yeah, not like in a bad way. I'm very respectful when it comes to it. But I think I'm one of those people who thinks that relationships should add to your life. Not take away. Bit of a commitment phoebe, I'm hearing. I mean, not the words that I would use, but. So what would a red flag be doing on a date? A red flag for me is somebody who doesn't laugh at my jokes.

27:40No, I just, I like funny people. I think people, yeah, I like funny people. Okay, and so a green flag is someone who laughs at your jokes. Yeah, or who makes me laugh. I think someone who makes me laugh. That's double green. Double green, yeah. So, Dapo, you were set up on a date with Ari, a jet setter from North London with high standards, and she's looking for a man who can cook and it's always up for an adventure. I want to know how it went. Just quickly before we play the first game, can you cook? I can cook. I'm not great. This came up on the date as well. I shot myself in the foot. Let's play the clip.

28:12Do you play paddle a lot? I do love paddle. I feel like you have to go like, you have to undersell yourself with these things because if I say I'm like a big paddle fan, then I'm going to get called out. But I like it a lot. I after Indonesia I went to Portugal with like my home friends and it was basically ended up being a paddle holiday like every day we'd go down do these tournaments. So I'm a I'm a fan. Yeah. Okay.
