Speaker 1 (00:00):
Robin terially kid on Brisbane's Kiss seven three. So yeah,
something that I've heard many times about on the show, Robin,
and I've never actually witnessed myself is about your cooking.
And in fact it's even on one of the intros.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Okay, so you guys know that I don't like cooking.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
No, and people don't like the cooking that you do.
That's the running joke. And last week you were talking
to your boys about Mother's Day and some of your
your qualities as a mum and some of the negatives.
The boys seem to focus heavily on the negatives and
they got right into the cooking.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Cooking is a bad quality, as in, I can't do it,
You don't do it.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Do it if it's preheated for you.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I made dinner, you heat it up.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
That is not true.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yes, that is so true.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
It is not I can do.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I do a mean spaghetti bol theonnaise.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Once every three decades.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Hard, so hard, And come to think of it, I
haven't ever seen it. I know we had a thing
last year, we did like a you know, an early
Christmas and you bought a pre made dessert.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, no, no, I buy things. Yeah I would not
inflict my cook I used to bake. I used to
bake a lot when the kids were really little. I'd
do muffins and stuff like that. Yeah, there's a whole
pile of reasons why I don't do it, but I
think the main one is that when their dad, the
boys dad died and there was just everything I had
to navigate. The first thing that I had to sort
out was for me to be able to come back
to work. I had to get someone to kind of

(01:37):
move in with us because the boys were nine, twelve
and fourteen, and because I'm smart, I picked someone who
could cook. Yeah okay, And I used to alternate with
Tony and do the cooking. I mean, my children don't
starve it. I mean I can do. But our fridge
is full of things like you know, those pre the
salad mixes. We've got lots of garlic bread or shower dough,

(01:59):
and lots of like chops and steaks and things that
are super easy. Are you pretty much? But a part
of that is also that I'm very aware that as
a mother, I have really neglected this side of my parenting,
and there's certainly a lot of shame and guilt about that.
I'm not going to lie, but but my kids now
can at least meet me at my cooking standards.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yes, but that's what I noticed. That's what I actually
noticed though. When the boys were talking about that, everyone
was laughing and things like that. But you did actually
have shame about it, you did. I have huge I
feelt guilty about it, failing as a mum in that.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, I still do, and you know, I kind of
I think I've come to terms with it now and
certainly at the beginning of this year, because my kids
are older now, they're eighteen, twenty one, and twenty three,
and they don't pay rent because they're all going overseas.
So I've said that the thing they need to contribute
is with cooking and cleaning and stuff, and so I've
left them to kind of navigate it. But I haven't
taught them like I mean, they could do a spag bog.

(02:52):
They could do, but they can't really do much else
because I can't. And I've had like this has been
my whole life because my sister had an eating disorder
right through my adolescence, so I was never allowed in
the kitchen, like she controlled everything we ate and she's
a great cook.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, to travel overseas and come back to you say, Mum,
do you have no idea? Do you know what food
they've got over there? It's incredible Paris.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It doesn't just involve opening a cannon bake beer like
chicken noodles.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, so how but what I want to know and
I'm just putting together some ideas the moments like if
you had disasters and thirteen one oh sixty five is
our number if you want to get involved with the show,
like a cooking disaster? Have you ever made anyone sick?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
No? Because I won't go there. Okay, I'm too frightened
of it. I'm actually not. It's something like the kitchen.
You know. I've always promised my boys that when they
leave home, they'll get a sandwich maker, an air fry, yeah,
a microwave, and a fridge.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Okay, and.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
You can pretty much sort out. I mean, I'll get
the pots and pans and stuff, but I'm too frightened
to do it. I'm not. I'm so intimidated by the kitchen, Sorr, Tim,
I mean, don't you remember when Matt Preston came to
my house and was just absolutely appalled.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I think I've got some audio of that here, just
a little bit of him going around and finding that
nothing in your kitchen worked.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
The things were broken, saying.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, so I have a road in problem, and then.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
You talk about the rodent problem like it's not a problem.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
You're living in ron of to. You still can't cook?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
This is really humanly al at a camp hill.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Hey, ol, hello, how are we today?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Very good? So what happened with you? And was it
in the kitchen?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was definitely in the kitchen, cooking away and just
like what is that? We're the smell that's coming from
the cooking and suddenly there was flames shooting out from
the range hood above my head.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Did what did you do to the range hood? Did
you throw food at it?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
It was a very old rental. This was going to
be up for demolishing after we had moved out, so
it was a very old farm farmhouse. So yes, so
how do you end up coming in and or ripping
it off the wall and chucking it out?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
The range hood? On range that was the invention of
charg grilled thirteen six five is out about this? Well,
I've got an idea that I'm just I've got something
I'm something I'm cooking.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And be a lot of tears. Man, if you want
to scratch this scab, be afraid.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Let's not talk about scabs.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
And I have avoided this my whole adult life.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so that's why I think it's time we confront
it head on and do what. Let's just wait and
see thirteen one oh six five until you've got a
kitchen disaster to share with.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
They don't have to eat anything.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah you will, many of us will trustful pink what
eight twenty six? I mean it's an appropriate song. Really,
What what happens if we just trust Robin to cook
for us? Well?

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I'm just thinking. I just know that it affects you.
I know that you've got no confidence with it and
have zero I feel like we could fix it.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
No, I think you're just going to make it a
whole lot worse or better still for you to completely
humiliate me.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
We can fix it or have a lot of fun
with it. Any tasting shows up, but we're talking about
kitchen disasters now. Who've got here? Haley out of Green Bank?

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Hey Haley, good morning, good morning guys.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Tell you well, so far, so good.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
We haven't tasted anything yetn't that well?

Speaker 5 (06:35):
I can guarantee you if you come to my mother's
house and she cooks for you, you'll either walk out
crying or you'll end up in labor if you're pregnant.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, what happened? Someone obviously has.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
My Auntie was pregnant and my mother thought she'd throw
a baby shower for her. God knows why, because my
mother bakes plugs into potato bakes. But she was making
a tea cake, a tea cake, the simplest cake, and
she put the wrong measurements in and the cake turned
out about one centimeter pick, which made my Auntie laugh,

(07:08):
which broke her water.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Into labor.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Tash out of Stafford Highes, Was it you cooking, Tash?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
No, it was my flatmate back in Unidays. He loved
to cook chips on the stove in the old fashioned
method with boiling oil. The first time he did that,
he forgot about it, and the oil caught on fire
and melted the rain hood gutted the kitchen. Real date

(07:44):
were very nice about it. Then a bit later, after
I moved out, he actually forgot about it and fell
asleep and did it again. I woke up to his
computer exploding.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
The house caught fire.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
They all had to get out, bent the house down.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, okay, see this is why watch this space.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
We've got a new idea tomorrow on the show. It's
going to be great. It's in Provan, Terry and Kid
On Brisbane's Kiss at ninety seventy three.
