Speaker 1 (00:12):
Laura, come on, hello, Hello, we are we are here,
we are aday.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We're very close to the weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Mitch.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I want to talk to you about this in private,
but I'm just going to do it on the radio
because I think this is the only way you're going
to learn. Though you've got a problem with stealing. You
steal something from my house every time you come.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
I don't think it's stealing.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
I think you guys are just such good friends that
he feels like, you know, Mi Cassi your.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Castle, Thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Is your castle, but my ship's my ship.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
When I didn't take anything.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, you know why you didn't take it.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
You tried, Mitch.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Laura came over for a little hangout, stop in and
say hello. And last time he came over, he took
a coffee mug, one of those really nice you know,
like the glass tree.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Like a keep cup. That's nice. Isn't it fit in
my good box? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I mean you're thinking about the environment, Mitch.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I like that, thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So they're expensive, right, they're expensive. So he took that,
never got it back. This week he came over. He
went to take my new keep cup, the replacement, because
he's like, oh, this looks different.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
This looks appealing, and it's bigger.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
It's like yellow, it's like an extra large one, like
really big.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And it has a red top, like a red circle top.
It sounds like McDonald's exactly like that. That's what he thought.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So he he went to take it, and it was
only when he got outside that he's like, it feels
really light and there's something.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
She's lesson in it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, he's less something in it. He took. He tried
to steal.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I'm in the middle of my fertility hormone injections. It's
my sharps bin. It's got all my used needles in it.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Give it a little red I'm not kidding, he tried.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Fine, looks like a takeaway cup cup.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
It was tall, cylindrical, had a red thing on the
front with a little hole that you put.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The syringe where the syringe goes. I thought my lips
wrapped around that on it back.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
He's like, I've got to admit I just tried to
steal this until I realize there's needles in it, and
I'm like, serves you.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Right, So you didn't even ask.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You just walked out with its oulating.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
My lips.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Those policos are looking sexylated.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Coming up next, I want to talk to you guys
about a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Now, look, it's expensive, you know, cost of living.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
There is a restaurant out there that is charging parents
extra just because they have kids.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
All right, that's next, let's go. Is it pick up
for your Friday afternoon or thanks to chemist? To a
house heading today? Great savings every day.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Now, as a parent, I don't often take my kids
out for dinner, like to the pub. And do you know,
it's just such hard work that usually you want to
stick to your time, like your timetable. You want to
stick to your schedule, You want to get food into
them at home, and just stick to what's easy. But
every so often you think, I'm gonna go out, but
we're going to treat ourselves. We're going to batten down
the hatches and we're going to take our kids to
(03:04):
a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You what you charge your iPad?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
You just get yourself all organized. And I mean, look,
maybe you're an iPad family, maybe you're not. If you're not,
you're better than me. But that's what we are, okay.
But every so often you do and you go out
and you take your kids, and you hope and you
pray to dear God that they're going to behave themselves.
Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Now, there is
a restaurant in the States who has decided that for
(03:27):
any children who are deemed unruly children, the parents will
be charged an additional fee on top of the restaurant fee.
And that additional fee is it's not a small it's
not a per head quota. It's an additional forty pound
which works out to be what like close to eighty
dollars if your kids misbehave and they are deemed to
be unruly children. No, overall, I think it's just.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
A flat fee table r.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, yeah, your kids suck, so he's a wow.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But who is deeming them unruly? Like, what's the criteria?
Speaker 6 (03:56):
It turns out that it's either the waitresses or the owner,
so the people who work there get to decide if
a child has been too unruly.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Why some sweaty sous chef Brady.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
The reason why this is such an out there's been
such an outraw according to this is because this one
family have been charged this ridiculous fee and the parents
have said, actually, our children were so well behaved, they
were sitting there on iPads. They weren't doing anything wrong.
This is just revenue raising from the restaurant because they
hate children and they don't want any inside.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Well, you're the one with the kid.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Do you think that this is acceptable? Knowing that you
take your unruly children out?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Do you know?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
I think that there are other things that adults do
which are way worse than what kids do.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Miss Cheery eating with his mouth open.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
With my mouth open. Sometimes stakes is tough, so.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
The the sticks are tough.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No, sometimes his nose is blocked and he has to
eat and breathe at the same time.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
I've sleep came more for that. It's disgusting.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Well I actually did, I actually come am on the
side of the restaurant here, Like you know what, I've
had my night ruined by petulant children. And maybe eighty
dollars is a bit much, but yeah, whack them with
a fine or maybe.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Maybe fifteen dollars per head. I can handle, but eighty dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
What if you do? Okay, here's a thought.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
You know how the airlines have recently started trialing like
the kid free zone and the kid only zone, So
what if restaurants have that, if you book with kids,
you gotta let them know.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
They all get put.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Lumped out in the same area on the bullpen, and
everybody else in the inside gets to have a kid
free a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Now, because then the problem is as a parent, you
end up sitting out at the kidd's table in the
garden party.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I just like that or eighty dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
To bring children into this world, that's your sacrifice. The bullpen.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Once a child too, mixturing you were once a petulant
little unruly kids gift.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
You still are a child. No, I think with these
sorts of things.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Okay, I have definitely been in situations where my children
have been misbehaving and they have been having a tantrum,
in which case you take them outside and you don't
have them in a restaurant. But I don't think that
you can penalize parents because they've brought their kids into
a restaurant because it's I mean, if they're.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Being proper, proper naughty.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Has it ever happened? Has it happened to you?
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Like you have your kids Lola and Marley been so
badly behaved that you and Matt had to pick them
up and take them out of a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
No, but do you know what little kids do do
They throw their dinner all over the ground And then
you get up to leave and there's like fish and
chips and calamari and like half a salad, just like
literally littered all over the floor.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
And you always think, God, that really sucks for the
person has to clean that up. Maintenance fee.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
No, I just clocked that your kids are in calamari.
I think back when I.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Goes Matt and I left, and you will not believe that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
The champagne was knocked over.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
And I said, Lola, if you don't want your friend
toasted for me, Mommy will have it. That's the point there.
There's all right now. Listen, guys, you know Michelle Chury
is my mother. We talk about her on the show
a lot because she's got very unconventional ways of parenting.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
She is the most amazingly patient woman in the world.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
She has you living with her.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Not today, because I am dating a new guy. Everything's
going well. I haven't introduced him to the family yet,
and Mum has taken matters into her own hands to
meet to face. Oh, you will not believe what she's done.
I'll tell you after this on the pickup. So, I'm
dating this guy. He's very cute. It's been a couple
of months. It's my first relationship since my five year
(07:09):
relationship ended.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So it's the big ones relationship. No, No, we're just.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Dating, just seeing someone name well, I'm not going to
reveal his actual identity, so for the sake of the
pick up, we'll call him Brad. So Brad works at Coles.
I can say that Brad. Brad works at Coles. And
my family are really invested in my love life.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I live at home, right, so.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
The family is so invested in your life.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, they love me and I love them.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I am living back in my childhood bedroom and I
have told them that I'm dating Brad, but I will
not bring him to see the family yet, just because
it's such a big step, Like it's such a big
moment to go high family meet Brad, because I don't.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Know where, especially when you're not exclusive yet exactly, it's
too soon.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
The problem is that irks my family to no extent,
to no degree.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
What's that expression?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That was our producer.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
She's like, it irks my family to no end, especially
my mom.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Michelle. She is very heavily invested in my life. So
all I've told Mom is that I'm seeing someone Corn Brad,
and he works at the local coals, the colls that
she shops at every day.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So that Brad and I having dinner on Sunday night.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
We're sitting there and we're having dinner and he goes,
you know, whirdest thing happened. I don't know if I
wanted to bring it up with you. I was like, yeah,
the weirdest thing happened. I was at work and I
went and had my lunch break. When I came back
from my lunch break, my coworkers said that I was
paged to customer service.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It went over the pa boom boom boom. Brad to
customer service desk near our one. Brad to customer service.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, I can see where this has gone.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
And he missed it because he was on his lunch break.
When he got back, he said, who was it? They said,
I don't know. Someone named Michelle came to see you
at reception.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Wait, your mom went to Cole's blindly went to customer
service and tried to page him.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You know, I feel like this was one of those
opportunistic things like she's walking down the aisland. She goes,
I wonder if that boy stock and Shell's right there
is him.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Well, I'm going to go and find.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
As your mom said anything.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I haven't spoken to it yet.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
So what I've done is I thought, mom doesn't work
well under pressure, so let's make a buckle.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
She's joining us now, Michelle is here. Mom is on
the line.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Hello mommy, Michelle, Michelle, I love you to pick up
you know I love you.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
But what were you thinking? Was this you running through
your head book?
Speaker 9 (09:18):
He has been secretly seeing someone and has not been
at all.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
Fourthcoming and let.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Me say, okay, so that the hairdresser that I go
to looks right into the coals, right into the cold.
So I'm sitting there for nearly three hours getting my
hair done, seeing all these.
Speaker 10 (09:37):
The coal stuff running down, moving around, and I'm thinking, Oh,
is that him? Would that be him? Could that be him? Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:44):
I think that's him.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
So once I had my hair done, I thought, I'm
going to go in and just have a shop around.
See if I didn't shop for a man.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So you went to the service desk, mum, and you
asked for Brad.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
No, Well, I went to the jelly first.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Because he cuts the slabs of me. Yeah, he's like
a prime.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Beef jelly first, and I were like, no, he's not here.
He was on a break and I was like, oh,
I taste, So I thought, well, I'll go to the
service desk and having Paige.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Like a lot of hell, Michelle, I love that you
didn't even try and denying it.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
There was not one point where he said no, I
didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
This is what I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You've got to the service desk, you've paid, you've paged Brad,
Brad comes right.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
If Brad actually turned up, what did you plan on saying?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Just going to say hi, I'm Michelle, I Mitch's mom.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
He's not forthcoming.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Love to have you around for dinner one night.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
But I don't think he's secretly dating. At the start,
he said, Mitch has been very secret.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
It's just dating.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think he's just dating. That's all I've said him.
She doesn't get it.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
She met dad on a football field and I got
married the next day is very different.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
In twenty three.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Would one call this a little bit overbearing when it
comes to a parent.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Maybe a little bit of what I actually really quite
like it. Yeah, I know it's great. That's very fine.
You got on your mum.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I wonder if we're going to still be together after Brad, Brad,
if you're listening, no way too soon.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Mitchell loves as on shirt.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Speaking of dating, we were talking about worst dates earlier
in the week, the worst dates that you.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Have been on.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
We got a five hundred dollar chemist Warehouse voucher up
for grabs. We'll take your calls next.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Okay, So earlier in the week we were talking about
a woman from the UK who went on a first
date with a guy who she handed the menu to
thought they were going on a dinner date, and he said, no,
don't worry, I don't need to order anything. And he
leaned over to the plate that was on the table
next to him from the people who had been sitting
there early laps and ate.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
The scraps off their plate. In the first date flag
cancel out little.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It was in the name of world peace.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Remember, he said, I don't want, I don't like I
don't like food wasted.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Anyway, we asked you guys, what are your worst first
dates that you've ever been on? And there have been
so many.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Kate on thirteen one of sixty five, what was your
worst first day?
Speaker 8 (12:04):
So met an army guy at a pub few drinks.
He says, do you want to go and watch cover bands?
Little Kate says, yeah, sure, I will come with this.
So we're sitting there having a couple of drinks and
then he said, I've got to go the toilet. So
off he went to the toilet, came back about five
minutes later and had to jumper wrap around his hand
(12:25):
and he said, I just went to the toilet.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
And he said.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
This guy had a fight with his girlfriend and was
hitting the wall. He said, I said to him, that's
not how you hit a wall. This is how you
hit a wall. So he smashed his fist into a wall. Swear,
I swear on everything. He showed me his hand and
it was light mint to meat, so.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He didn't do it very well.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
That, my god, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
That's a real role of emotions there. I didn't expect
that turn autely?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Did you do that?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I'm sure, Darren mat what happened on your first.
Speaker 12 (13:03):
I met this woman online. We chatted a bit and
we organized to catch up and we were at a
bar having a few wines when she received a text
message and she said it was from her husbandicality, yeah,
and I hadn't picked up that she was only very
recently separated. Her husband not X said I want to
(13:25):
know when he could have the dog, and she exchanged
a few text messages back and forth and then said,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have to call him. So
she didn't leave the table. She picked up the phone
and called him, and then they started disagreeing about who
was having the dog when and who was picking it
up when and where and how long for and so on.
(13:46):
So I sat there nervously drinking my wine, wondering how
I could get out of this. I couldn't just up
and walk away, I guess. And yeah, it was very,
very awkward.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Oh and that sounds so awes.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
In the car, Hey, Tiffany on thirteen six five of
what happened on your first days?

the first day. They never started, well, we're going to
the local pub and he said, oh, yeah, I'll swim
passing peach up or both and drinks hel the part

in with his speakers blearing in his car and he
(14:25):
was playing Hoodie and Blowfish let her cry.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
Oh that is a green cloud.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That is a green flash.
Speaker 3 (14:33):

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Roll down face.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
I sort of told him, so, I'm happy to go
for a drink, but I'm not like super into starting something.
So then he gets out of the car and he
gets on half of the car and starts singing the
song to me in front of all of her friends
at the part. But I'm oh, no, no.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Oh interesting, aren't they five hundred dollars.

doing check up on Tiffany hooting.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Mitch.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I want to talk to you about this in private,
but I'm just going to do it on the radio
because I think this is the only way you're going
to learn. Though you've got a problem with stealing. You
steal something from my house every time you come.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
I don't think it's stealing.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
I think you guys are just such good friends that
he feels like, you know, Mi Cassi your.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Castle, Thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):

Speaker 3 (00:50):
When I didn't take anything.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, you know why you didn't take it.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
You tried, Mitch.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Laura came over for a little hangout, stop in and
say hello. And last time he came over, he took
a coffee mug, one of those really nice you know,
like the glass tree.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Like a keep cup. That's nice. Isn't it fit in
my good box? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I mean you're thinking about the environment, Mitch.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I like that, thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So they're expensive, right, they're expensive. So he took that,
never got it back. This week he came over. He
went to take my new keep cup, the replacement, because
he's like, oh, this looks different.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
This looks appealing, and it's bigger.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
It's like yellow, it's like an extra large one, like
really big.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And it has a red top, like a red circle top.
It sounds like McDonald's exactly like that. That's what he thought.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So he he went to take it, and it was
only when he got outside that he's like, it feels
really light and there's something.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
She's lesson in it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, he's less something in it. He took. He tried
to steal.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I'm in the middle of my fertility hormone injections. It's
my sharps bin. It's got all my used needles in it.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Give it a little red I'm not kidding, he tried.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Fine, looks like a takeaway cup cup.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
It was tall, cylindrical, had a red thing on the
front with a little hole that you put.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The syringe where the syringe goes. I thought my lips
wrapped around that on it back.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
He's like, I've got to admit I just tried to
steal this until I realize there's needles in it, and
I'm like, serves you.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Right, So you didn't even ask.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You just walked out with its oulating.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
My lips.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Those policos are looking sexylated.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Coming up next, I want to talk to you guys
about a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Now, look, it's expensive, you know, cost of living.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
There is a restaurant out there that is charging parents
extra just because they have kids.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
All right, that's next, let's go. Is it pick up
for your Friday afternoon or thanks to chemist? To a
house heading today? Great savings every day.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Now, as a parent, I don't often take my kids
out for dinner, like to the pub. And do you know,
it's just such hard work that usually you want to
stick to your time, like your timetable. You want to
stick to your schedule, You want to get food into
them at home, and just stick to what's easy. But
every so often you think, I'm gonna go out, but
we're going to treat ourselves. We're going to batten down
the hatches and we're going to take our kids to
(03:04):
a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You what you charge your iPad?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
You just get yourself all organized. And I mean, look,
maybe you're an iPad family, maybe you're not. If you're not,
you're better than me. But that's what we are, okay.
But every so often you do and you go out
and you take your kids, and you hope and you
pray to dear God that they're going to behave themselves.
Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Now, there is
a restaurant in the States who has decided that for
(03:27):
any children who are deemed unruly children, the parents will
be charged an additional fee on top of the restaurant fee.
And that additional fee is it's not a small it's
not a per head quota. It's an additional forty pound
which works out to be what like close to eighty
dollars if your kids misbehave and they are deemed to
be unruly children. No, overall, I think it's just.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
A flat fee table r.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, yeah, your kids suck, so he's a wow.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But who is deeming them unruly? Like, what's the criteria?
Speaker 6 (03:56):
It turns out that it's either the waitresses or the owner,
so the people who work there get to decide if
a child has been too unruly.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Why some sweaty sous chef Brady.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
The reason why this is such an out there's been
such an outraw according to this is because this one
family have been charged this ridiculous fee and the parents
have said, actually, our children were so well behaved, they
were sitting there on iPads. They weren't doing anything wrong.
This is just revenue raising from the restaurant because they
hate children and they don't want any inside.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Well, you're the one with the kid.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Do you think that this is acceptable? Knowing that you
take your unruly children out?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Do you know?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
I think that there are other things that adults do
which are way worse than what kids do.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Miss Cheery eating with his mouth open.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
With my mouth open. Sometimes stakes is tough, so.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
The the sticks are tough.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No, sometimes his nose is blocked and he has to
eat and breathe at the same time.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
I've sleep came more for that. It's disgusting.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Well I actually did, I actually come am on the
side of the restaurant here, Like you know what, I've
had my night ruined by petulant children. And maybe eighty
dollars is a bit much, but yeah, whack them with
a fine or maybe.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Maybe fifteen dollars per head. I can handle, but eighty dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
What if you do? Okay, here's a thought.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
You know how the airlines have recently started trialing like
the kid free zone and the kid only zone, So
what if restaurants have that, if you book with kids,
you gotta let them know.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
They all get put.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Lumped out in the same area on the bullpen, and
everybody else in the inside gets to have a kid
free a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Now, because then the problem is as a parent, you
end up sitting out at the kidd's table in the
garden party.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I just like that or eighty dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
To bring children into this world, that's your sacrifice. The bullpen.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Once a child too, mixturing you were once a petulant
little unruly kids gift.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
You still are a child. No, I think with these
sorts of things.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Okay, I have definitely been in situations where my children
have been misbehaving and they have been having a tantrum,
in which case you take them outside and you don't
have them in a restaurant. But I don't think that
you can penalize parents because they've brought their kids into
a restaurant because it's I mean, if they're.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Being proper, proper naughty.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Has it ever happened? Has it happened to you?
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Like you have your kids Lola and Marley been so
badly behaved that you and Matt had to pick them
up and take them out of a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
No, but do you know what little kids do do
They throw their dinner all over the ground And then
you get up to leave and there's like fish and
chips and calamari and like half a salad, just like
literally littered all over the floor.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
And you always think, God, that really sucks for the
person has to clean that up. Maintenance fee.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
No, I just clocked that your kids are in calamari.
I think back when I.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Goes Matt and I left, and you will not believe that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
The champagne was knocked over.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
And I said, Lola, if you don't want your friend
toasted for me, Mommy will have it. That's the point there.
There's all right now. Listen, guys, you know Michelle Chury
is my mother. We talk about her on the show
a lot because she's got very unconventional ways of parenting.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
She is the most amazingly patient woman in the world.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
She has you living with her.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Not today, because I am dating a new guy. Everything's
going well. I haven't introduced him to the family yet,
and Mum has taken matters into her own hands to
meet to face. Oh, you will not believe what she's done.
I'll tell you after this on the pickup. So, I'm
dating this guy. He's very cute. It's been a couple
of months. It's my first relationship since my five year
(07:09):
relationship ended.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So it's the big ones relationship. No, No, we're just.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Dating, just seeing someone name well, I'm not going to
reveal his actual identity, so for the sake of the
pick up, we'll call him Brad. So Brad works at Coles.
I can say that Brad. Brad works at Coles. And
my family are really invested in my love life.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I live at home, right, so.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
The family is so invested in your life.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, they love me and I love them.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I am living back in my childhood bedroom and I
have told them that I'm dating Brad, but I will
not bring him to see the family yet, just because
it's such a big step, Like it's such a big
moment to go high family meet Brad, because I don't.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Know where, especially when you're not exclusive yet exactly, it's
too soon.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
The problem is that irks my family to no extent,
to no degree.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
What's that expression?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That was our producer.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
She's like, it irks my family to no end, especially
my mom.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Michelle. She is very heavily invested in my life. So
all I've told Mom is that I'm seeing someone Corn Brad,
and he works at the local coals, the colls that
she shops at every day.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So that Brad and I having dinner on Sunday night.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
We're sitting there and we're having dinner and he goes,
you know, whirdest thing happened. I don't know if I
wanted to bring it up with you. I was like, yeah,
the weirdest thing happened. I was at work and I
went and had my lunch break. When I came back
from my lunch break, my coworkers said that I was
paged to customer service.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It went over the pa boom boom boom. Brad to
customer service desk near our one. Brad to customer service.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, I can see where this has gone.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
And he missed it because he was on his lunch break.
When he got back, he said, who was it? They said,
I don't know. Someone named Michelle came to see you
at reception.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Wait, your mom went to Cole's blindly went to customer
service and tried to page him.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You know, I feel like this was one of those
opportunistic things like she's walking down the aisland. She goes,
I wonder if that boy stock and Shell's right there
is him.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Well, I'm going to go and find.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
As your mom said anything.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I haven't spoken to it yet.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
So what I've done is I thought, mom doesn't work
well under pressure, so let's make a buckle.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
She's joining us now, Michelle is here. Mom is on
the line.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Hello mommy, Michelle, Michelle, I love you to pick up
you know I love you.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
But what were you thinking? Was this you running through
your head book?
Speaker 9 (09:18):
He has been secretly seeing someone and has not been
at all.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
Fourthcoming and let.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Me say, okay, so that the hairdresser that I go
to looks right into the coals, right into the cold.
So I'm sitting there for nearly three hours getting my
hair done, seeing all these.
Speaker 10 (09:37):
The coal stuff running down, moving around, and I'm thinking, Oh,
is that him? Would that be him? Could that be him? Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:44):
I think that's him.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
So once I had my hair done, I thought, I'm
going to go in and just have a shop around.
See if I didn't shop for a man.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So you went to the service desk, mum, and you
asked for Brad.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
No, Well, I went to the jelly first.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Because he cuts the slabs of me. Yeah, he's like
a prime.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Beef jelly first, and I were like, no, he's not here.
He was on a break and I was like, oh,
I taste, So I thought, well, I'll go to the
service desk and having Paige.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Like a lot of hell, Michelle, I love that you
didn't even try and denying it.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
There was not one point where he said no, I
didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
This is what I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You've got to the service desk, you've paid, you've paged Brad,
Brad comes right.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
If Brad actually turned up, what did you plan on saying?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Just going to say hi, I'm Michelle, I Mitch's mom.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
He's not forthcoming.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Love to have you around for dinner one night.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
But I don't think he's secretly dating. At the start,
he said, Mitch has been very secret.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
It's just dating.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think he's just dating. That's all I've said him.
She doesn't get it.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
She met dad on a football field and I got
married the next day is very different.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
In twenty three.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Would one call this a little bit overbearing when it
comes to a parent.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Maybe a little bit of what I actually really quite
like it. Yeah, I know it's great. That's very fine.
You got on your mum.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I wonder if we're going to still be together after Brad, Brad,
if you're listening, no way too soon.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Mitchell loves as on shirt.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Speaking of dating, we were talking about worst dates earlier
in the week, the worst dates that you.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Have been on.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
We got a five hundred dollar chemist Warehouse voucher up
for grabs. We'll take your calls next.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Okay, So earlier in the week we were talking about
a woman from the UK who went on a first
date with a guy who she handed the menu to
thought they were going on a dinner date, and he said, no,
don't worry, I don't need to order anything. And he
leaned over to the plate that was on the table
next to him from the people who had been sitting
there early laps and ate.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
The scraps off their plate. In the first date flag
cancel out little.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It was in the name of world peace.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Remember, he said, I don't want, I don't like I
don't like food wasted.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Anyway, we asked you guys, what are your worst first
dates that you've ever been on? And there have been
so many.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Kate on thirteen one of sixty five, what was your
worst first day?
Speaker 8 (12:04):
So met an army guy at a pub few drinks.
He says, do you want to go and watch cover bands?
Little Kate says, yeah, sure, I will come with this.
So we're sitting there having a couple of drinks and
then he said, I've got to go the toilet. So
off he went to the toilet, came back about five
minutes later and had to jumper wrap around his hand
(12:25):
and he said, I just went to the toilet.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
And he said.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
This guy had a fight with his girlfriend and was
hitting the wall. He said, I said to him, that's
not how you hit a wall. This is how you
hit a wall. So he smashed his fist into a wall. Swear,
I swear on everything. He showed me his hand and
it was light mint to meat, so.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He didn't do it very well.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
That, my god, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
That's a real role of emotions there. I didn't expect
that turn autely?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Did you do that?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I'm sure, Darren mat what happened on your first.
Speaker 12 (13:03):
I met this woman online. We chatted a bit and
we organized to catch up and we were at a
bar having a few wines when she received a text
message and she said it was from her husbandicality, yeah,
and I hadn't picked up that she was only very
recently separated. Her husband not X said I want to
(13:25):
know when he could have the dog, and she exchanged
a few text messages back and forth and then said,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have to call him. So
she didn't leave the table. She picked up the phone
and called him, and then they started disagreeing about who
was having the dog when and who was picking it
up when and where and how long for and so on.
(13:46):
So I sat there nervously drinking my wine, wondering how
I could get out of this. I couldn't just up
and walk away, I guess. And yeah, it was very,
very awkward.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Oh and that sounds so awes.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
In the car, Hey, Tiffany on thirteen six five of
what happened on your first days?
Speaker 11 (14:05):
Oh my goodness, So this guy absolutely modifying. It was
the first day. They never started, well, we're going to
the local pub and he said, oh, yeah, I'll swim
passing peach up or both and drinks hel the part
that we all know mortifying. And then so he comes
in with his speakers blearing in his car and he
(14:25):
was playing Hoodie and Blowfish let her cry.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
Oh that is a green cloud.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That is a green flash.
Speaker 3 (14:33):

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Roll down face.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
I sort of told him, so, I'm happy to go
for a drink, but I'm not like super into starting something.
So then he gets out of the car and he
gets on half of the car and starts singing the
song to me in front of all of her friends
at the part. But I'm oh, no, no.

Oh interesting, aren't they five hundred dollars.

doing check up on Tiffany hooting.
