Comedian Merrick Watts joins me on the podcast this week to compare notes! He dated in the 90's and 00's when there was no such thing as a dating app and people actually had to be brave and approach someone in real life. The horror! He's now married and missed the perils of the dating apps and everything else associated with dating in this modern world. Tune in for plenty of LOL's and an interesting perspective.

Warning: this episode is rude, crude and delightfully honest!

Danny Lakey from Triple M's saucy late-night show (titled after his own name "The Danny Lakey Show") joins me this week as we look at two very important topics in the dating world:

  • Why do blokes love sending dick pics?
  • Why dating multiple people can actually IMPROVE your love life

Danny Lakey brings a wealth of experience and honest answers to these topics, and who better to ask than an actual bloke! Perhaps listen to this one with headphones in. Trust me.

What's it like to date some who could be mistaken for your Dad? Well, in this week's episode we find out! I once dated a guy 20 years older than me and it came with a whole HEAP of trials and unexpected tribulations! My lovely guest and friend, Jess Eva, ended up getting engaged to her old gent and spills the beans on all things age related. Be warned it gets a little bit rude and for some reason we get onto the topic of low-hanging testicles, but with Jess you never know where the conversation will go! Enjoy xx
