Long Distance Relationships, Love By Blood & Hot Supermarkets with Mary O'Connell

It's all hilarious tangents and relatable gripes on this episode of Truish! Daisy Maskell is joined by comedian and musician Lizzie Hall.
As well as being an accomplished singer and multi-instrumentalist, Lizzie is one half of the hilarious podcast "Stay Hydrated", which she hosts with her brother, comedian Chris Hall. Chris and Lizzie have both also achieved social media stardom with their viral "Backing Dancer" videos, where they have collaborated with the likes of the Jonas Brothers, Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue and more.
On this episode of Truish, Daisy and Lizzie argue that reality TV can sharpen your understanding of human behaviour (and if you don't like what you see on TV... maybe that's more a reflection of yourself!), and they dive into a new dating app which matches potential lovers via their dogs personalities.
Plus: Is your family high-commitment? Daisy and Lizzie talk about why that might be a turn-off as well as critiquing step-sibling romances and people experiencing "time slips" in Liverpool.
