From meeting at a birthday party (with some very heavy breathing involved) to moving in together after just 6 months, these two spill ALL the tea about modern gay dating.We put them through our Red Flag, Green Flag, Beige Flag game where they accidentally call out each other's worst habits - from Joe's need to win every argument to Kaine's plant obsession that's literally taking over their house. Plus, Joel reveals why he ghosted his therapist mid-session and Kaine explains how he converted his anti-plant boyfriend into a secret plant lover.Joe Baggs: https://www.instagram.com/joebxggs/?hl=enKaine Ruddach: https://www.instagram.com/kaineruddach/?hl=enIn this episode:🚩 Dating red flags that hit way too close to home🌱 The great indoor plant vs outdoor garden debate🎭 Why Joe refuses to sit through a 3-hour musical (sorry, Les Mis fans)💑 Moving from Gogglebox fame to couple content creation🏠 Their quest for the perfect 13-foot statue (yes, really)✈️ That time Joe disappeared for 50 minutes in West Hollywood and came back in full glitterFrom therapy ghosting to BAFTA red carpets, Joe and Kaine prove that being a "happy healthy homo" means embracing your authentic self - plant obsessions, argument-winning tendencies, and all.
