I got Aaron into a dating show. A reality show. I put it on and then he looked at this and he was like, God, what is this shit? Are these actors? And I said, no.

What it was, was Love on the Spectrum, which is on Netflix, which is a show, if you haven't watched it, you've got to watch it. It's two seasons now, where people with autism date. And they've been struggling to date. And they go and they get hooked up on these dates. And oh, my God. And Aaron was like, what is happening? Like, I hate watching reality shows.

Because he hasn't dipped into Love Island at all, right? He would sooner rip his own dick off. He just hates it. He hates maths. He hates all that kind of crap. He hates the Kardashians. He hates all reality TV. To him, it is not art.

It is the death of art. Yeah, I'm the same. I feel I'm the same. Totally. In theory, I'm the same. I feel I'm the same. Totally. In theory, I'm the same, and then it hooks me. Yeah. So we put Love on the Spectrum on, which is a dating reality show, but we watched two episodes together,

and then I woke up to him coming into bed at midnight, having watched the entire two seasons on his own. Jesus. And he had cried, he had laughed, he had fallen in love with some of the characters, and he is just like, it's the best. Oh, he's a sweet man. He's a sweet man.

I've watched a little bit of Love on the Spectrum, but New Zealand had Down for Love, which was Down syndrome data. Some of you who had Down syndrome, but it was also people on the Spectrum. Undateables was another one. Undateables. Better date than never seems to be the Australian version date it. Some of you who had Down syndrome, but it was also people on the spectrum. Undateables was another one. Undateables. Better date than never seems to be the Australian version of it.

I think it's as wholesome as heck. I love it. And the people on it are such beautiful characters. So some of the people from season one are back for season two, including Abby and David, who they meet each other on season one. They got hooked up on this dating show, and then in season two they including Abby and David, who they meet each other on season one. They got hooked up on this dating show. And then in season two, they're still together.

And they go to Africa and see the lions. They go to Africa? Then they sing to each other, Can You Feel the Love Tonight? That got you, didn't it? Oh, my God. It is just like, and then there was one moment that me and Aaron looked at each other and because you know and they share their families and and i can imagine with with

you know raising children with autism it's not an easy job and and then you see these families and they're always like that's my favorite person in the world like this put this so my son or my daughter they're my favorite person they've just got the biggest heart then aaron just looks at me he was like do you just get the feeling that um they're just looks at me and he was like, do you just get the feeling that they're just better than us? And I was like, yeah, all of the people on the show are just better people than us.

Their smiles and their joy. If you haven't watched it, you've got to watch it. It will even melt your cold, rock-solid heart. Yeah, it will. Did you watch the one where the kindergarten kids

hung out with the old people in the retirement home? No. Oh my God, I literally just got to chill down my spine. Yeah, that was a lot. I wept.

Have you watched The Cove? About the dolphins getting murdered? Did you cry at the end? No, but I was like, that's real shit. I was inconsolable. What about Dear Zachary? I know it shocked you, but did that make you cry? I think that made me cry.

That ruined my entire weekend. I loved recommending that to people because I had no idea what was coming. Which one was that? Dear Zachary. About the sun? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I watched that.

It's an incredible documentary. I love crying. I just love crying. Happy crying. Happy crying. See, Dear Zachary is not happy crying. No. Okay, well, neither is the cove when all the dolphins are being slaughtered at the end.

No. And then you cry there and you look at each other and you say what can we do maybe book a holiday go to sea world i think yeah i think support them in their jobs support their jobs the dolphins jobs get what you're saying is get more jobs for dolphins so that they don't need to be slaughtered they just get jobs well because you don't they don't get slaughtered when they're in a beautiful small tub no they get slowly like mentally broken down and ruined
