Heart2Heart With Ken

Ken have been giving dating a go (to mixed success), so we have called in an expert. Meet friend of the podcast Steph from Melbourne who, after five days, moved across continents for love. Strange thing is, it actually worked! Kim is quite vengeful in this episode (revenge from last week) and Ben is on hand to offer his usual perspective on realising people are bat shit crazy and when you have to follow your heart (thanks Casey Donovan). It’s classic content delivered fresh from our recent publicity tour in Melbourne.

So it’s happened: Ben has taken his revenge on Kim and decided to grill (or Grill’d) her on her personal life. Kim is very awkward as Ben puts the pressure on with the tough questions; financial, legal, the whole shebang. But things are picking up for Ben: he is watching a new show on Netflix, has a vacancy in his house (clearly an avid listener of the podcast) and is about to embark on a business trip (with Kim, naturally). He has also cleared with Kim that she can’t abandon him now she Iives in a different (read fancier), suburb. We also do a round up of all the good bottle shops in the local area- obviously necessary.

Ben has taken himself off the market. And Kim has a lot of opinions about it. He claims he didn't feel "the spark"; Kim thinks he is being "a harsh nong". In other news, we announce the winner of our bottled water competition, Kim's texting and dating tips and our plans for dating in 2020. Listen if you want. Or don't. We don't really care. xoxo

So you are in a relationship and stuffing it up? Or you aren’t, but you only have yourself to blame? Hear Ken's top five tips for ways to bugger your relationship (or in Ben’s case, ways others have wronged him). Ben also glassed someone. Which sounds unrelated, but sadly, isn’t. Tune in. Take some notes. And don’t eff it up. Or do. Who are Ken to tell you what to do?

We have abandoned the plan for the podcast and moved to salacious personal gossip. Ben went on a date to a gourmet restaurant. Surprise, surprise, it was a bloody disaster. Listen to Ben recount an evening where he got short changed and was pushed for an early start. Kim gives her feedback and doesn’t hold back. Kim remains very concerned about the dating future for Ben. Listen to the episode, it’s not an unfair cop.

Call us Ketchup, but this episode is saucy. So you have made it to “Date 1”. And how do you do it? Do you chat to them before you have the first date? What night do you do it on? And where do you go? Ben talks about one of his first dates at a large fast food chain and his foray into ordering pizza. Kim talks about her favourite restaurant (that recently got raided by the health authority) and then Ken banter about why a dim lit bar can be a good (Ben) or bad (Kim idea). Like the movie, “Practical Magic” Ken are getting down to business and issuing practical advice.

It’s been a bit of a drought (fair cop farmers) but Ken are back with a brand new premise and big ideas. Join two experts as we delve into the big issues that everyone needs help with. From putting yourself out there, to how to know when to just not put yourself out there. We hear about Ben’s journey on the apps, Kim’s foray into eHarmony and our mutual perspectives on “wing” people. We also talk about who we would be in the Bible - just to reiterate that this podcast is all inclusive and saying no to no one.
