WEBVTT - Jimmy Szabo with Tony McManus - Wed 18 Jun, 2025

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 1>The damn Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>It is very much.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 3>It is a Wednesday morning. Look who it is.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy's Jimmy is the exec producer in charge of Jackie

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Felgate's drive program here on three A W Jimmy's Bow.

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Good morning to you, Tony Mack. You are

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.959
<v Speaker 2>like the hot Mocker of radio hosts.

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I call you the hot war Mocker.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you warm me up on a Wednesday morning, even

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 4>though it's freezing outside at the moment.

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you do warm me up.

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 4>And you've got a bit of sweetness about you, and

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 4>the caffeine that runs through it as well wakes us

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 4>all up.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 5>It's just a perfect mix. And I love speaking to you.

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 3>That's very very kind.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>And then then I suppose you've got to decide whether

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you infect want another taste sooner rather than later, or

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>you'll just move back to the great cap of tea

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 2>with which you are more familiar.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 5>I would do a Mocker every day, I'll be honest.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So is that your preferred beverage Moka?

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh, if I try and stay away from milk a

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 4>little bit, so normally the double espresso. But if I

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 4>want to treat myself if I could, I will go

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 4>to the mocker.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 5>What's your order?

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Probably a regular flat white extra shot? Yes strong, yeah strong,

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>so not too milky. And maybe if I'm feeling really bold,

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>half a sugar. Oh, very bold and yeah I know,

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>and that will linger into the wee small hours of

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the morning. So I picked that up on the way

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>down a round about eleven. I'm still sipping on it

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 2>just ten past two in the morning.

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I love that. No sugar for me, I'll go

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 5>with OUs.

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 4>But other than the coffee order, I wanted to ask

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 4>you something else, because you.

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Are the king of etiquette.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 4>I think you know your rules and you.

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 5>You're a wise man.

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>So when you go out to dinner right because this

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 4>was brought up, I think on the weekend there was

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.239
<v Speaker 4>pictures of Elbow and Dan Andrews going out for lunch

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 4>and I think Dan ended up paying the bill.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 5>Apparently it was just in the paper.

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I saw that story.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you got us talking about who pays the bill?

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 4>How do you decide who pays it? So should the

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 4>host pay the bill or should you split it up

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 4>evenly no matter what you get, or do you only

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 4>pay for your meal?

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 5>Like how would you do it? What do you do

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 5>when you go out?

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, it depends because I think that moves over a

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>period of time. When I was a younger, had a

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>young family paying school fees, I would always hope that

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it would be a shared bill. Now because of some

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>a good fortune. If I take somebody out or invite

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.239
<v Speaker 2>somebody out for lunch or dinner, as I did, say

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Friday night for the birthday celebration, there's a brother, there

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>was some sister, the sister in law partner robs we

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 2>and I paid even though it was my birthday.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>I paid. It's just easier to do that your birthday.

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that. That's when

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:13.959
<v Speaker 5>I was overseas.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 4>That's like the common thing that your birthday, you invite

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 4>everyone out and you pay for everyone. That's just how

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 4>they do it over there.

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Especially and because I don't want to be smart about this,

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I can do that now, but I

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>couldn't have done it fifteen or twenty years ago in

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the past.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, when you you know, as you.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Well know, when people are paying school fees and you're

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>paying off a mortgage and all those sort of things,

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 2>well I no longer have some of those things to

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>time a hand behind my back. So if I want

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to be in a position to actually take somebody to lunch,

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it brings great joy to be able to do that.

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it does feel good. I know what you mean.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 4>My dad used to love that as well, Like he'd

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 4>take the family out at eat, you know, would bring

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 4>a friend or you know, whoever partners came and that

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 4>sort of thing. Dad would say, no, I'm paying for everyone.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 4>It's my family, and I say, great pride in that

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 4>and that sort of thing. But now when I go out,

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 4>the usual thing we do with my mates is just

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 4>we order whatever we want and at the end of it,

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 4>we just split. It doesn't matter if someone's had an

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 4>extra few drinks or ordered a more expensive meal.

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 5>It just evenly and you.

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Pay it that way. But some people are very particular

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 4>about it. Some people are no, I didn't pay for it,

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 4>I didn't eat that. I'm not going to pay for that.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I'm not like that. I'm more just like, oh, whatever,

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 5>it's a few bucks here and there. It doesn't really

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 5>bother me.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, what if you even said I If you and

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I go out and we buy a really interesting bottle

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 2>of cabinet and we go, oh, that's really really nice.

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>But Janine two seats down didn't have any or only

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>had half a glass.

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 3>You're going to argue about.

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>That or you just go, you know, Janine, you go, Jeanine,

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>you're going to do your own thing. We're very happy

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>to for you to share a glass if you wanted to,

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and if you don't want to pay or contribute to that,

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 2>that's fine as well.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Look, I'm not the one to make a fuss. I

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>would never make a fuss about money or anything like that.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 4>I was just I don't right hate you know, fighting

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>over money and things like that.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 5>I'd let it slide.

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Like if if I didn't have any wine but I

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 4>had to pay for it, I'd be like, yeah, that's

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 4>all right, I'll pay for it.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 5>But some people are different. So there's many arguments that

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 5>come up at the dinner table because of this. And

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 5>a quick poet for you as well.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you ever send the meal back? Or you just

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 4>say I get what I get and that's it doesn't

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 4>matter if it's not how I imagined.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm not too sure that I've actually ever. That's a

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 6>great question, Jimmy, I'm not too sure that I've ever

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 6>sent one back. I've probably said it towards the end

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 6>of the meal, maybe by way of feedback. Look, I

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 6>got to tell you, normally when I come here, the

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 6>past of the dish is just fantastic, whatever it might be.

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 6>Tonight it was really disappointing, and it's and it's worse because, oh,

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry, we've got a different chef in today.

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 3>The chef was sick.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>One of the younger kids was doing it, and I go,

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>that's fine, but just by way of feedback and just gently.

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Let you know for a future reference.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>And usually one and a half times out of yeah,

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>that's right, And usually nine times out of ten they'll say,

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Norah's tone. Look, I've just removed I've shouted you that

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>bottle of wine or whatever it was.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So it sort of works out in the end. But

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 2>these people too are going to make it quick. They've

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>got staff to pay, they're running a business, and so

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>a they should appreciate the feedback, and for the most part,

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they do if it is forthcoming, and you know,

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 2>because they wanted it's in their interest to be able

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>to stay in business.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 3>Makes sense to well listen to the feedback.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.919
<v Speaker 4>See you're a wise man and you're coming to you

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.119
<v Speaker 4>as a good a good idea.

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not always the case, Jimmy, as you well know,

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>one double three six six nine three. We'll get some

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 2>calls on that, of course. Jackie Felgates program. Just after

<v Speaker 4>what he brings in because it's it always it always works.

<v Speaker 4>Last week we talked about vasectomies. Since it went off.

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 5>But we'll see what he brings in today.

<v Speaker 2>Club last weekend.

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't very important, but look they're scraping the barrel

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 4>at Richmond. They're getting anyone now these days. But I

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.000
