Speaker 1: The damn Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.
Speaker 2: It is very much.
Speaker 3: It is a Wednesday morning. Look who it is.
Speaker 2: Jimmy's Jimmy is the exec producer in charge of Jackie
Speaker 2: Felgate's drive program here on three A W Jimmy's Bow.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning to you, Tony Mack. You are
Speaker 2: like the hot Mocker of radio hosts.
Speaker 3: I call you the hot war Mocker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you warm me up on a Wednesday morning, even
Speaker 4: though it's freezing outside at the moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you do warm me up.
Speaker 4: And you've got a bit of sweetness about you, and
Speaker 4: the caffeine that runs through it as well wakes us
Speaker 4: all up.
Speaker 5: It's just a perfect mix. And I love speaking to you.
Speaker 3: That's very very kind.
Speaker 2: And then then I suppose you've got to decide whether
Speaker 2: you infect want another taste sooner rather than later, or
Speaker 2: you'll just move back to the great cap of tea
Speaker 2: with which you are more familiar.
Speaker 5: I would do a Mocker every day, I'll be honest.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So is that your preferred beverage Moka?
Speaker 4: Oh, if I try and stay away from milk a
Speaker 4: little bit, so normally the double espresso. But if I
Speaker 4: want to treat myself if I could, I will go
Speaker 4: to the mocker.
Speaker 5: What's your order?
Speaker 2: Probably a regular flat white extra shot? Yes strong, yeah strong,
Speaker 2: so not too milky. And maybe if I'm feeling really bold,
Speaker 2: half a sugar. Oh, very bold and yeah I know,
Speaker 2: and that will linger into the wee small hours of
Speaker 2: the morning. So I picked that up on the way
Speaker 2: down a round about eleven. I'm still sipping on it
Speaker 2: just ten past two in the morning.
Speaker 5: Oh, I love that. No sugar for me, I'll go
Speaker 5: with OUs.
Speaker 4: But other than the coffee order, I wanted to ask
Speaker 4: you something else, because you.
Speaker 5: Are the king of etiquette.
Speaker 4: I think you know your rules and you.
Speaker 5: You're a wise man.
Speaker 4: So when you go out to dinner right because this
Speaker 4: was brought up, I think on the weekend there was
Speaker 4: pictures of Elbow and Dan Andrews going out for lunch
Speaker 4: and I think Dan ended up paying the bill.
Speaker 5: Apparently it was just in the paper.
Speaker 3: I saw that story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got us talking about who pays the bill?
Speaker 4: How do you decide who pays it? So should the
Speaker 4: host pay the bill or should you split it up
Speaker 4: evenly no matter what you get, or do you only
Speaker 4: pay for your meal?
Speaker 5: Like how would you do it? What do you do
Speaker 5: when you go out?
Speaker 2: Well, it depends because I think that moves over a
Speaker 2: period of time. When I was a younger, had a
Speaker 2: young family paying school fees, I would always hope that
Speaker 2: it would be a shared bill. Now because of some
Speaker 2: a good fortune. If I take somebody out or invite
Speaker 2: somebody out for lunch or dinner, as I did, say
Speaker 2: Friday night for the birthday celebration, there's a brother, there
Speaker 2: was some sister, the sister in law partner robs we
Speaker 2: and I paid even though it was my birthday.
Speaker 3: I paid. It's just easier to do that your birthday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that. That's when
Speaker 5: I was overseas.
Speaker 4: That's like the common thing that your birthday, you invite
Speaker 4: everyone out and you pay for everyone. That's just how
Speaker 4: they do it over there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Especially and because I don't want to be smart about this,
Speaker 2: but you know, I can do that now, but I
Speaker 2: couldn't have done it fifteen or twenty years ago in
Speaker 2: the past.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you you know, as you.
Speaker 2: Well know, when people are paying school fees and you're
Speaker 2: paying off a mortgage and all those sort of things,
Speaker 2: well I no longer have some of those things to
Speaker 2: time a hand behind my back. So if I want
Speaker 2: to be in a position to actually take somebody to lunch,
Speaker 2: it brings great joy to be able to do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does feel good. I know what you mean.
Speaker 4: My dad used to love that as well, Like he'd
Speaker 4: take the family out at eat, you know, would bring
Speaker 4: a friend or you know, whoever partners came and that
Speaker 4: sort of thing. Dad would say, no, I'm paying for everyone.
Speaker 4: It's my family, and I say, great pride in that
Speaker 4: and that sort of thing. But now when I go out,
Speaker 4: the usual thing we do with my mates is just
Speaker 4: we order whatever we want and at the end of it,
Speaker 4: we just split. It doesn't matter if someone's had an
Speaker 4: extra few drinks or ordered a more expensive meal.
Speaker 5: It just evenly and you.
Speaker 4: Pay it that way. But some people are very particular
Speaker 4: about it. Some people are no, I didn't pay for it,
Speaker 4: I didn't eat that. I'm not going to pay for that.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm not like that. I'm more just like, oh, whatever,
Speaker 5: it's a few bucks here and there. It doesn't really
Speaker 5: bother me.
Speaker 2: Well, what if you even said I If you and
Speaker 2: I go out and we buy a really interesting bottle
Speaker 2: of cabinet and we go, oh, that's really really nice.
Speaker 2: But Janine two seats down didn't have any or only
Speaker 2: had half a glass.
Speaker 3: You're going to argue about.
Speaker 2: That or you just go, you know, Janine, you go, Jeanine,
Speaker 2: you're going to do your own thing. We're very happy
Speaker 2: to for you to share a glass if you wanted to,
Speaker 2: and if you don't want to pay or contribute to that,
Speaker 2: that's fine as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm not the one to make a fuss. I
Speaker 4: would never make a fuss about money or anything like that.
Speaker 4: I was just I don't right hate you know, fighting
Speaker 4: over money and things like that.
Speaker 5: I'd let it slide.
Speaker 4: Like if if I didn't have any wine but I
Speaker 4: had to pay for it, I'd be like, yeah, that's
Speaker 4: all right, I'll pay for it.
Speaker 5: But some people are different. So there's many arguments that
Speaker 5: come up at the dinner table because of this. And
Speaker 5: a quick poet for you as well.
Speaker 4: Do you ever send the meal back? Or you just
Speaker 4: say I get what I get and that's it doesn't
Speaker 4: matter if it's not how I imagined.
Speaker 6: I'm not too sure that I've actually ever. That's a
Speaker 6: great question, Jimmy, I'm not too sure that I've ever
Speaker 6: sent one back. I've probably said it towards the end
Speaker 6: of the meal, maybe by way of feedback. Look, I
Speaker 6: got to tell you, normally when I come here, the
Speaker 6: past of the dish is just fantastic, whatever it might be.
Speaker 6: Tonight it was really disappointing, and it's and it's worse because, oh,
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, we've got a different chef in today.
Speaker 3: The chef was sick.
Speaker 2: One of the younger kids was doing it, and I go,
Speaker 2: that's fine, but just by way of feedback and just gently.
Speaker 3: Let you know for a future reference.
Speaker 2: And usually one and a half times out of yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right, And usually nine times out of ten they'll say,
Speaker 2: Norah's tone. Look, I've just removed I've shouted you that
Speaker 2: bottle of wine or whatever it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So it sort of works out in the end. But
Speaker 2: these people too are going to make it quick. They've
Speaker 2: got staff to pay, they're running a business, and so
Speaker 2: a they should appreciate the feedback, and for the most part,
Speaker 2: I think they do if it is forthcoming, and you know,
Speaker 2: because they wanted it's in their interest to be able
Speaker 2: to stay in business.
Speaker 3: Makes sense to well listen to the feedback.
Speaker 4: See you're a wise man and you're coming to you
Speaker 4: as a good a good idea.
Speaker 2: It's not always the case, Jimmy, as you well know,
Speaker 2: one double three six six nine three. We'll get some
Speaker 2: calls on that, of course. Jackie Felgates program. Just after
