up in Marlebone
it's one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in London it's what I actually
grew up in I would
actually say I did grow up in the dodgy end of Marlebone it was dodgy about it
just like there's
one part that's just more less dodgy than the other really thank you guys

gentle to that brush very soft is very soft I want that to be an aspect of my
life yeah yeah just like
thank you so much thank you wow I feel I felt like comforted I think you look

worse now do I look worse I asked I asked for the natural look all right I feel
like it's very it's
very benevolent of you to do all the other shows I get so excited when I get to
meet other hosts as
you would say yeah for me it's like um what am I doing making something that's
one hour long in an
era where people can only pay attention for 10 seconds I agree I've been
researching and one
thing that like impressed me is like you were kind of after college or like
during college it
was a column the the day before yeah yeah is it true that you hadn't been on a
date prior to
yeah do the call yeah but I started it when I was 17 so I feel like maybe it's
not too crazy yeah
17 when was your first date like how old are you I think 32 yeah yeah was it
did she know it was a date
did she know if it was with a is it does the does the other one have to know it's
a date because that
would be 36. how old are you I'm 38 you're 38 yeah yeah I was born during the
Reagan administration oh my
god I'm 38 years old yeah I've done really nothing with you actually look
younger than 38
I don't know what do you say I know I know you say I don't know yeah um yeah so
like wait like
you've obviously what's impressive is you had a vision early on that you wanted
to like adopt a
video format for you study journalism of course right yeah so is this a you're
serious this is a
serious is a serious interview no it's like okay I don't know it's there's
substance you want it to be
jokes no no no I don't do a joke early episodes of your show were yes gets who
is that say can you
tell me the question again oh yes it's the first episode chicken shop date who
is that he is a UK
rapper rapper and then you also had fuse odg yep he's an afro beats artist okay
and jammer who's
that he's in boy better know which is skeptic also a rapper yep with Jamie and
AJ Tracy
AJ Tracy he's another rapper my sister's calling me right now oh can I say
hello yeah you want to say
hi Zoe yeah yeah yeah hi Zoe it's Amelia oh hi Amelia oh hello hello you know
yeah we're recording
but you know what's really funny she has a sister Zoe that's okay I have a
sister called Zoe
and a to Z so it's we're both a to Z because I'm Amelia and she's Zoe and you're
Zoe and how crazy is
that we got excited on the phone the preview interview and we said I said that
that I know
she's saying that Zoe is superior as a sibling this is uh Zoe is superior shut
up Zoe I'm sorry to
interrupt your why are you cheating on me in the middle of the show Zoe it's
okay oh my god and you
have the umlau on your e as well I do oh god it's all making sense yes she is
she's z-o-e dot dot yeah
and she gets upset when there's no dot dot you're literally tween we're tween
we're tween all right
I'm gonna pass you back to Adam now all right I gotta go back to this Zoe we're
on the show right now okay
can we leave uh you knew that okay no I did not what are you calling about some
fucking Taylor Swift
kind of thing or so fuck you okay so annoying dude so so yeah I what what was
it that like kind of
made you want to like transition from dating in a column to like doing a video
series like well
because when it was when I was doing the column in the magazine because it
started off in a youth club
yeah and what is a youth club like oh yeah because I feel like in America they
don't really have them
it's like somewhere you would go after school and meet people that you didn't
actually go to school
with in like a space and you would do like extracurricular activities but the
one that I went to we
specifically made a magazine you know that photo series of like kids at a club
like in English kids
at a club and there's like a DJ and stuff no I'll show you there's a really
funny picture but keep going
yeah I went to this youth club and we made a magazine and yeah start off was
the column but
when I was doing it it felt like funny and awkward and I was already playing
this like persona and I
thought that it would be cool if it was actually filmed so people could see it
so like um do you so
since you hadn't been on a day at 17 and you've been doing this since then is
this is there some
notion of like a sexual awakening that you've had in the process because the
the cool thing about the
show is that there is a blurring of a line between like the format of a date
and then it does feel
real and yes it is real it you conceive of it as real no like I feel like the
chemistry is real
can be real yeah I feel like the most successful episodes have been the ones
where it's like
palpable sexual sexual chemistry I actually feel like it's actually not quite I
feel like it's not
sexual chemistry do you think it's sexual chemistry I feel like it's more just
like
cute chemistry no there's innuendo for sure I always thought that I would meet
the love of my life
on the show on YouTube I'm realizing now I don't think that's going to happen
yeah has it has it
complicated your actual life because it does feel like it's not purely
performance I mean it is a type
of performance but it does there is a aspect of reality in it so yeah I
actually feel like sometimes
I get in my head about it and I feel like the reason I've been single for what
now like nearly six
years is because I have a dating show really what do you think that stresses me
out so much what do you
think that really stresses me out what do I think yeah I think that could be
true I mean
I wouldn't I don't know I mean like if that's true it stresses me out it
stresses me out it keeps me up
at night well it kind of like makes your yourself uh as a person kind of
available to an audience
right like there's like a like love is like a you know like I kind of uh have
learned since I've been
online because you're never prepared to be known right yeah right like suddenly
you're you're anonymous
and then suddenly you realize people know who you are right and it's weird to
transition into that
like and I found that it was weird and then I realized you know a couple years
into it that I
have to like draw a distinction distinct distinct line yeah a lot demarcate
like kind of my personal
life and then racist podcasting or whatever the fuck I do but that is what I do
as well like I feel
like my private life is very private but have you had like a boyfriend watch it
and be like what
no no no they've never been annoyed really about it well not to me anyway but
maybe they are secretly
like insecure about it like do you think maybe I feel like maybe they could be
insecure about it
never tell me but it's also not real I mean you just said it's real though no
but it's real it's not
real do you know what I mean I stressed you out like this is real and not like
it's real in a sense
that like why couldn't I meet someone via the show well you dated someone from
the show right
who a rapper who a h h h we didn't where it was like we didn't really know it's
crazy to hear so
many names of rappers and I'm like what the fuck I know do you know that we
also have hip-hop in
america really and it sounds good actually really yeah it's all like you're
kidding me and I went to
the road and I sold the food that sounds really good and I get made the peas
made the peas I made
I made peas and I sold the food that's how it's uh it's like jack it's a puppet
about the bump up
but can you do you go bar for bar ever with any of them I go band for band you
go band for band you
probably you're probably richer than a lot of you for sure richer than me for
sure for sure for sure
for sure yeah yeah for sure have you ever considered going on a chicken date
with a poor person no yeah
it's not worth it don't you think yeah I guess so do you think that people
might conceive of you as a
gold digger then a gold digger yeah yeah because you're only going with these
fancy pantses on your
chicken date well I don't think so I feel like if you get the tone right you
don't really come across
as a gold digger well I read the comments she's like everyone's she's after
Andrew Garfield's money
bank account yeah you know it's funny because like it's like the first time I
watched Mr. Beast like
the first 30 seconds I'm like oh what the fuck is this and then 30 seconds in
your I'm like I'm
trying to see what this is about right there's like a hypnotizing aspect to it
and I'd seen clips of
your show but like now I've obviously been watching full episodes and I found
myself being like I hope
they just fuck after this is it similar to Mr. Beast do you think much like Mr.
Beast yeah yeah I hope
after he tortures these people for money he has sex with them yeah someone came
up to me at a party the
other day and was like convinced that I was dating someone from the show who H
no like I think they
were convinced that I was dating I can't remember who it was it was either
Andrew Garfield or
Howard Dickinson and I was like no so embarrassing I know it's embarrassing so
embarrassing I was like they're both
in relationships with other people yeah
okay let's talk about chicken yes
so what is a chicken what would you say is chicken a chicken what the hell even
is it what to me yeah okay to me
it is a pretend I'm an alien or I come from a country that doesn't have chicken
and I'm like
what do you do you say I I'm a chicken dater okay and then I'm like what the
hell even is chicken
a map could do would you know what bird is at this point mmm oh yeah bird yeah
you know about it I
know bird okay it's a bird does it fly it flies around that it's actually crazy
story so basically it's a bird and it looks like a bird and it has wings but it
actually can't fly
really I know really I know it's really tragic that's pathetic I know it's kind
of laughable
it's actually weird like literally what the hell is this fucking idiot yeah
they have wings that they
don't use no and that's why they use the way and that's why they get killed
really they get killed
they get killed do you feel like you put chicken on the map with your show 10
years 11 years though
I think chicken was on the map before I feel like I wasn't hearing much about
yeah but you weren't hearing
about it okay yeah 11 years ago it was kind of it was exact more exotic it was
like beef it was like
venison venison yeah yeah it was like you had you know you you're like I've
heard of that yeah
is that the one where they put the the little cow in a box and they don't let
it no that's veal oh
