Red Flags vs Green Flags When Dating wit...

Joel Wood & Keegan Hirst
About this episode

Joe Baggs (star of Gogglebox and social media!) and his boyfriend Kaine Ruddach (theatre star and now keen gardener on social media!) join us this week! 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.

In 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 glitter


From 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.
