Chapter 1: What themes are explored in the Hook Up Live show?
No, he's so funny, so cute, he's so progressive.
He's got two gay moms. What could go wrong? So I'm up there, tits in the air. Just kind of waving around, trying to see if anyone's on their balcony.
We're all pulling and it's like really stark. And I'm like, okay, like I'm just gonna like, call the lesbians, they will have a crowbar.
I'm like, is it because I talk like a cartoon? I'm like pretty sure people are masturbating to cartoons across cultures.
And I was really excited to have casual sex, right? Because when you're in a relationship, you're always having formal sex, right? I was like, oh God, I could have sex where I don't have to make eye contact, I don't have to wear a blazer or anything.
I can't believe this, Pip. We're back again and we've gone bigger and better.

I can see people at the back up there.
Let's go. Thank you all so much for being here. If you don't know who we are, for some reason someone's brought you along. My name's Dee Salmon.
I'm Pip Rasmussen and this is the Hook Up Live podcast.
Woo!
we have got a theme for the show this year last year it was kind of just like cooked hook up stories and this time we thought let's let's get a narrative arc in there so the show we're basing it off the prompt when did you know so our comedians are going to come up and tell stories about that but we thought we would warm you guys up wet your whistle a little bit so we'll start off
Maybe with our own. Yeah, Pip.
So, okay, there have got to be stories like when did you know it was time to break up? When did you know they were the one? When did you know you were in love? When did you know when you got the ick?
When did you know you were over them and you were like, I'm free, like the meme with the chains breaking off?

Chapter 3: How do the hosts define 'when did you know' moments?
Do you have a pivotal moment in your life when you just knew?
Yes. I'm going to tell you a story about when I knew that an age gap does not matter in a relationship. Yeah. So, I historically have dated people older than me, like, my whole life. Like, my ex was, like, nine years older than me and it's been a current pattern and I've kind of just, the relationships have never really worked out, let's just say.
Yeah, you've realised, like, dating older maybe isn't for you.
Yeah, exactly.
Something's not working. It wasn't me. It couldn't be me that was the problem. It was definitely them and it was definitely the age gap. And I thought, you know what? I've been hearing a lot of people on the show say that dating younger people is really good because they're like progressive, they're fun, they're awesome. And I was like, maybe I need to give young guys a go.

Chapter 4: What dating dilemmas do the audience members present?
So... This is what happened. I actually met a young fella out in the wild. Crazy. At Laneway Festival to set the scene. 2024. Charlie XCX is playing. I'm making out with a young bloke for the whole set. Didn't see a single song. And... She didn't.
I was there. You were there? I was there. You were behind me.
Chapter 5: What humorous insights do the comedians provide about relationships?
And me and Mel, who's here as well, we looked behind and we were like, well, I guess Charlie isn't one of her favourite artists.
So long story short, I find out, I had no idea at the time, but he was like, oh, I'm actually 23. Guess how old I was.
31. Yeah, like nine years younger.
And I was like, oh my fucking God, this is bad. But then I was like, no, no, let's give it a go. Let's, you know, give him a chance. And so I did. We were dating for a bit. And my friends were like, I don't know, Pip. I don't know if that's a really good idea. I was like, no, he's so funny, so cute, he's so progressive. He's got two gay mums. What could go wrong?
Chapter 6: How do comedians navigate age differences in dating?
And... Turns out, he actually did end up ghosting me, and I've never heard from him. And I even did, like, the whole, like, olive branch message of, like, it's fine if you don't want to see me anymore, but, like, just let me know, please. And some phone calls. We put the phone on no-call ID.
Classic. Like, maybe he actually just, like, got in an accident and, like, you know...
The narratives that we were telling ourselves.
He's young.
Yeah, who knows? He's articulate.
Yeah, so then that's when I knew that age gaps, age differences, it doesn't matter. Men will always disappoint you. Dee, what was your when did you know story?
Okay, so my story is when I knew I was better in a crisis than my partner.

Chapter 7: What advice do the hosts give about dating red flags?
Oh! So I have permission to tell the story. I think it's used on me. Thank you, Darcy. So when my partner and I first started dating, we both really bonded over saunas. I, as a Russian girl, have grown up with saunas my whole life. I have one in my house. Crazy, I know. And he happened to have a sauna at his. So it became a bit of like a date night for us.
It was like, do you want to come over and have a sauna? And so this is a couple months in. I was like, absolutely. His sauna is on the third level of the house. So let me explain it to you.
Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with audience engagement?
It's basically on a balcony, a really small balcony, just the sauna and a door. So it's about 9pm on a Wednesday night and we're naked, of course. That's what you do in a sauna, obviously. No silly business. And we shut the door, sit in the sauna, having a bit of a chat. And then we're like, all right, I think we're done. It's about 9.30. My partner goes to open the door. Doesn't open.
I'm like, okay, what's going on there? Like, what's happening? And then tries again, tries again, tries again. He goes, we're locked outside. No phone. No phone. Completely naked. Completely naked. No water. Yeah. And we, let me explain to you, like third level, nothing else in sight, just a balcony. Looked over the edge, it's just like, you can't even really scale the building.
So I'm trying to remain calm. I'm going like, I think I said something like, oh, you know, maybe I'll use my earring and we'll just like peek through the lock. Like I'm going, thinking of all these ideas and like really brainstorming. And I am just seeing this like six foot seven, giant naked man grabbing a sauna stool, trying to slam it into the door. Like, trying to break this glass door.
And I'm going, oh, my God, I cannot believe. Getting the ick a little bit. Yeah. Naked body flying around.
What was your mentality at this point?
I was just trying to think of actually logistical, logical things. I was like, what could actually help? Like, can we unlock it? Blah, blah, blah. And then he's like, I'm going to have to scale the building. And I'm like, oh, my God. You cannot scale the building.
LAUGHTER
It's also raining.
Yes.
