It's World Singles Day so we set Lachy out to the streets so he can try and score a date. Off he went with 16 red long stem roses in hand and a heart ready for love. Have a listen to hear how it all went down...
It's World Singles Day, ladies and gentlemen. We don't normally celebrate these stupid days. We thought we'd do it. Perfect opportunity to help out some of our single team members. We've got quite a few. Lockie, We've got him on the street in monkey armed with a thousand roses. Locky, good morning.
Morning.
How's it going going good?
Now?
You seem like you're struggling just to hold the flowers. How many flowers have you got?
I've got this huge more that I can count, more than I can probably hold.
I feel like I'm about.
To drop them everywhere and it's going to an absolute disaster.
So being World Singles they started in China in the nineties, Jackie, and it was made as like an anti Valentine's Day event and it's done really well.
But what do you what is it supposed to be celebrating being sing Like, yeah, we are.
The singles, supposed to get flowers from friends or something. Yeah, we know Lockie is on the constant look for someone special. He wants a proper relationship, Yeah he does. We thought it'd sending him out on the streets of Melbourne to tries luck with the single ladies. Individual flowers wrapped, which as lovery woman loves one of them cylinder flowers. Can we have a scan of the streets so we can pick someone for you? Look around, get the camera a little pan there. Where are you exactly? Locky? What street in Melbourne?
So? I mean this is Bridge Road in Richmond.
So twenty of foot traffic, people you know, wandering around cafes, walking to the train station to catch the train to work.
Oh, just that's the perfect there's.
A girl right in front of you that she's walking away with that one there with the pants. Is that her boyfriend sitting down.
With the green pants?
Yeah, go and go after.
Her, lucky.
Yeah, neither of them want to talk to me.
Hang on, I'll start with you. What's your name? Emma? Ask you a question? Yep, actually not, that's my boyfriend.
Oh well that's a shame because this world singles start today.
So if I was to ask you on a date, unfortunately, I would get rejected.
Yeah, you probably would, but I think Mas would definitely take.
Going.
I'm good. How are you?
So? I have to say that it never fails.
If you've got a friend who has a boyfriend, more often than not, they will have a friend who is single, So that seems to be the case with Maz.
I think around.
Two years, about two years, well, happy singles start have a rose on Kiss FM, and I have to say that I want to complain to Spotify because they haven't made you this work's Hottest single.
They won't.
I should complain to Satify because they haven't nominated you this work's Hottest single.
So that we're right over, that's really funny.
I like that one. You're like that?
Is that a good enough pick up line for you to come on a date with me this week?
I'm unfortunately not in my dating era right now.
Career. Under the next under, you were allowed to say that she rejected me textfully. Yes she did. Yeah, she was very nice. Thanks girl. You know what you need to do.
You need to go to a.
Very textent way of rejecting me. Yep.
Look, you need to go to a like a less good looking girl. But you went to very good looking girls there and that was the out of your league. You need to drop your standard a little bit.
Why are you going into that dive into the cafe here?
My god?
Of course, guy's waving a knife around in cafe.
Is an eating establishments.
Right, there's always white staff, and often some of the white staff are single and quite attractive.
Now there is a girl.
Down the back here, so I'm going to say, fucking line her up.
I think that's a Chinese person.
Excuse me? Do you want to just come and have a chat quickly? The Chinese voter's wife. I'm sure good?
Unlucky they put it.
On up, go around, go around the counter? Are you single?
With the moments? Say and have a rise on kids FM?
