Speaker 1: there's a couch in there, like it literally has just

Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 5: It's the jobs I like? Can I have your couch
Speaker 5: on your peloton? We are talking about your worst first.
Speaker 1: Date stories because we love a good week. Hey, we've
Speaker 1: had a few between us. But the reason why we're
Speaker 1: talking about this is because the other day I was
Speaker 1: scrolling Instagram. I was watching stories and Michelle Bridges, who
Speaker 1: we love, We adore Michelle. We had her on our
Speaker 1: podcast Laugh on Cut not so long ago, and she
Speaker 1: was talking about menopause, but she was also talking about
Speaker 1: getting back into the dating world and whether she was
Speaker 1: going to do it or not do it. Anyway, turns
Speaker 1: out she did it. She did it and it didn't
Speaker 1: go so well. So she got back into the dating world.
Speaker 1: And this is what she said on her on her
Speaker 1: stories that she rocked up for her very first date
Speaker 1: after five years.
Speaker 2: I know years in five.
Speaker 1: Years her first day and the man was a complete
Speaker 1: no show.
Speaker 2: She got totally ghosted and stood up.
Speaker 6: Makes me so angry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it really does, because like it's so
Speaker 1: easy just to send a text saying you're not going,
Speaker 1: And for a woman who gets stood up, it's so
Speaker 1: much effort. Do your hair, do you make up, like,
Speaker 1: pick out your clothes. You don't just get dressed and
Speaker 1: rock up like it's preparation.
Speaker 4: But bless her, she said that there was this other
Speaker 4: younger guy in the like the bar or restaurant that
Speaker 4: she was at, that saw her by herself and ended
Speaker 4: up talking to her for hours, like spending hours with her.
Speaker 6: So she actually ended up meeting someone from.
Speaker 4: It, not someone to date, but like she's like, there
Speaker 4: was this guy that sort of made up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she had a nice night.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, if you're out there and you're
Speaker 1: going through the throes of dating, we know it's a
Speaker 1: cesspool because we did it ourselves, so we thought we would.
Speaker 1: At firstly, if you've got a horror dating story, we
Speaker 1: want to hear it, give us a call. But also, Britt,
Speaker 1: you have some doozies in your time.
Speaker 6: No, mine's mind's a proper spectrum.
Speaker 4: Minds a spectrum of things I can't repeat on the
Speaker 4: three PM show.
Speaker 6: I know some of them are yeah, real bad, they're too.
Speaker 4: Bad, but like you know, I've written a book about but
Speaker 4: you can go and read that if you like.
Speaker 6: But I just remember, like they range. I remember this
Speaker 6: one guy picked me up for a date.
Speaker 4: And you know, you put in effort as a woman,
Speaker 4: you pick what you're gonna wear, You've done your hair, makeup.
Speaker 4: He picked me up and I was walking towards him
Speaker 4: down my driveway and he looked me up and down
Speaker 4: and said, are you gonna wear that?
Speaker 2: That was the first thing he said, yeah, So we
Speaker 2: hooked up. Obviously we went on the date.
Speaker 4: That was what he said, and I said, yeah, I
Speaker 4: was and he was sort of like, oh okay, And
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 6: Is that a problem.
Speaker 4: He's like, no, not, But I was like, you're a jerk, but.
Speaker 2: I will still date you because you and slim.
Speaker 1: But also you know that your self esteem and your
Speaker 1: boundaries are on the floor when you still go on
Speaker 1: that date.
Speaker 2: Because you're like, I might as well.
Speaker 4: I had this other guy that I don't know if
Speaker 4: I'm bless his honesty, I was actually in London when
Speaker 4: I was living in London, and he asked me on
Speaker 4: this date where I had to go across the city
Speaker 4: on the train to a museum, which wasn't my kind
Speaker 4: of a date.
Speaker 6: He was forty five minutes late turn up to the date.
Speaker 6: He was so boring, and then he said, then he said, sorry,
Speaker 6: I've got to go. I actually have another date lined up.
Speaker 1: You're like, even you can care multiple days and I
Speaker 1: was like.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I was like, how are you my option?
Speaker 4: And You've got more dates to go to and I
Speaker 4: was like, good riddance, mate, I'm gonna get these dinosaurs
Speaker 4: on my own.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean, if this one makes anyone feel
Speaker 1: any better. I once went on a date with a
Speaker 1: guy and he was I thought. I just thought he
Speaker 1: was a dream. I matched with him. We had such
Speaker 1: good chemistry on text, and then we got to the restaurant.
Speaker 1: We're having dinner together and stuff, and we'd had some
Speaker 1: good banter and then I asked him a question about
Speaker 1: his like dating history, not its specifically, expecting him to
Speaker 1: go into anything of specifics, and he started talking about
Speaker 1: his ex and how he'd recently broken up, and then
Speaker 1: he started crying and then he said, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm that over my ex, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: evidently not, pal, So thanks for the great night. I
Speaker 1: also had a guy take me to a bar and
Speaker 1: he talked for two hours only about tennis. And he
Speaker 1: didn't play tennis. He was just really into tennis. He
Speaker 1: spoke continueuously about tennis.
Speaker 6: Did he think you were a tennis player?
Speaker 8: But I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not a tennis person. I have not I don't
Speaker 2: really understand.
Speaker 5: I don't watch it. I'm not really into it.
Speaker 1: Anyway, he spoke to me relentlessly about tennis and then
Speaker 1: he trying to open mouth kiss me, but came in
Speaker 1: with his tongue out. So he's like like a little get,
Speaker 1: like a little pointer. He just came at me with
Speaker 1: a tongue. It was the weirdest two hours of my life.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I did not take him home.
Speaker 6: Produce a gray. So you've you've had a I mean
Speaker 6: you got stood up at the inquiryum once.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was.
Speaker 7: That was four months into the relationship though, so not
Speaker 7: quite a first date, okay, but I definitely have a
Speaker 7: trove of stories.
Speaker 5: Also, one all do everyone does anyone who's ever dated.
Speaker 5: Anyone has a story.
Speaker 7: I remember I once went on a date with this
Speaker 7: guy called Kevin, I think his name.
Speaker 6: That's the problem there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a great date.
Speaker 7: We were sitting in the car afterwards because he dropped
Speaker 7: me home and he kind of leant him for a
Speaker 7: kiss and then he just goes, he's silly banana, and
Speaker 7: I was like, I.
Speaker 5: Need to get out of this car immediately.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, this very silly banana must split.
Speaker 1: We are talking your worst first date stories, because well,
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone here has a real doozy, but everybody,
Speaker 1: if you're dating, everyone has terrible dating stories.
Speaker 4: The only thing that's never happened to me, to be honest,
Speaker 4: is being stood up.
Speaker 6: But half the dates I was on I wish they
Speaker 6: stood me up. I was like, why did you come?
Speaker 5: I was like why.
Speaker 1: I feel like you have some that you can't tell
Speaker 1: online radio because they're so bad and they're also just.
Speaker 6: A bit X rated. Maybe, Oh, do you know what
Speaker 6: I can.
Speaker 2: Just have embarrassing once.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you one thing, because I know we got
Speaker 4: the calls going off here.
Speaker 6: But one I remember I went on this date with.
Speaker 4: This guy and he must have said it was like
Speaker 4: he must have thought it was a flex. And I
Speaker 4: remember at dinner and he was like, so, just so
Speaker 4: you know, I've been with.
Speaker 6: Four hundred people.
Speaker 2: Oh I've dated that guy as well.

Speaker 5: the four hundred.

Speaker 6: I was like, nothing to turn me off.
Speaker 2: Quicker, but it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5: The number doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2: It was the flex. It was the weirdness that he
Speaker 2: felt the need to tell me.
Speaker 4: Do you think it's sad that they're like trying to
Speaker 4: say it's like their experience.
Speaker 5: I don't know what they're thinking.
