00:00 I'm renowned for these erotic candles.
00:02 So yeah, they're a little bit different.
00:05 I try and make them different
00:08 by adding different colours to it.
00:10 Just jazz them up a little bit.
00:12 And when you look at them, you wanna burn them anyway
00:15 because they look very inviting to burn.
00:19 So I give them as gifts.
00:21 Yeah, I'm a giver, that's what I do.
00:23 (laughs)
00:24 They're, "Oh, wow, this is good.
00:26 "You can see all the details."
00:27 I said, "Yes, especially when you burn it."
00:29 That's even more exciting when you burn them.
00:31 So they go, they are quite taken back by it as well.
00:35 Yes, my first date, it was a fantastic,
00:40 highly recommend it.
00:42 When I turned up on my date,
00:44 I gave Merlin a torso, a candle, a female torso.
00:49 And he loved it, by the way, he really did.
00:53 And so that was the point.
00:55 That was the highlight of the conversation.
00:59 And then obviously Merlin came over,
01:03 as you can see in the clip,
01:05 and he said, "Thank you very much for the candle."
01:08 So we did all that, and then the conversation started.
01:12 My date wasn't impressed, to be honest with you.
01:14 (laughs)
01:17 But yeah, but each their own,
01:18 because it's how you embrace it,
01:21 and it's how you talk about things.
