Speaker 1: Hey, we're just talking about those terrible first impressions you
Speaker 1: have families, because I had, well, I had two first
Speaker 1: impressions this past year and neither of.
Speaker 2: Them went well.
Speaker 1: But Laura, your first impression with Maddy Jay's family was
Speaker 1: on national TV, so I can't imagine that went very well.
Speaker 3: I think the whole idea, like the whole saying of
Speaker 3: first impressions never lie. I don't think it's true because
Speaker 3: my first time meeting my husband Matt's family was truly terrible,
Speaker 3: and I like to think that we have made some
Speaker 3: good headways since then. So for anyone who doesn't know
Speaker 3: Matt and my partner and I, we met on The Bachelor,
Speaker 3: on the TV show, Like, what was that like seven
Speaker 3: years ago?
Speaker 2: Now six years ago? I don't know who's counting. I
Speaker 2: think you were seven because I was six. I remember.
Speaker 3: So we were in Thailand. It was very hot, I
Speaker 3: was very sweaty, and at the same time, Matt was
Speaker 3: still dating the other girl who I found out had
Speaker 3: just met Matt's mum, so she had just had like
Speaker 3: a lovely date with Matt, met his mom, met his
Speaker 3: three brothers, and now it was my turn to like
Speaker 3: walk up and meet the family. Oh no, sloppy seconds,
Speaker 3: literally the sloppy seconds.
Speaker 2: He'd been on a date.
Speaker 4: All day with her, you know, or you thought maybe
Speaker 4: you were first?
Speaker 2: No, I knew, you know, I knew.
Speaker 3: I knew that he was coming from a date with
Speaker 3: her to then take me to meet his mum and
Speaker 3: his brother. So I was feeling nervous. I had had
Speaker 3: a few wines. Things didn't go very well. Have a
Speaker 3: listened to this.
Speaker 4: I felt like she was talking and talking, and I
Speaker 4: didn't seem quite as relaxed as Alice was.
Speaker 2: So maybe I had a bit of a diarrhea.
Speaker 3: Lots of words were coming out, and probably not that
Speaker 3: much sense. I'm pretty sure everyone thought I was going
Speaker 3: to pass out because they hadn't actually taken.
Speaker 2: A breath yet.
Speaker 4: Laura, you sound many guys.
Speaker 2: I sounded neurotic.
Speaker 4: I was, and he chose you.
Speaker 2: He still picked me.
Speaker 3: I sounded neurotic when I met his mum and his brothers,
Speaker 3: so much so that his little brother Tom, His little
Speaker 3: brother Tom took Matt aside and said, I think that
Speaker 3: Elise is better suited to you.
Speaker 2: I don't think you should pick Laura.
Speaker 3: She seems like maybe she's not one of our people
Speaker 3: and she's drunk.
Speaker 2: And now do you know what?
Speaker 3: It makes real interesting time, though, because every time they
Speaker 3: come over at Christmas or I see them, I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: remember that time you you teld this man not to
Speaker 3: pick me?
Speaker 2: Well he did?
Speaker 4: Thirteen five? What happened when you met the in laws? Ben, Hi, buddy.
Speaker 5: So the first time I met my in laws was
Speaker 5: the day me and my partner were moving in together
Speaker 5: and they were helping us move house, and we were
Speaker 5: getting the bed into our bedroom and we put the
Speaker 5: headboard up against the wall and it's this like wooden,
Speaker 5: very heavy things in the dark wood, and it's against
Speaker 5: this white wall. And my partner's stepmom just went, oh,
Speaker 5: I'll go get a blanket to foot behind the headboard
Speaker 5: so it doesn't knock into the wall. And her dad's
Speaker 5: just very innocently asked, why would the headboard be knocking
Speaker 5: into the wall.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, let me draw your picture.
Speaker 6: I forgot whose company I was in, so I just
Speaker 6: laughed immaturely, and then I quickly realized that I looked
Speaker 6: up and he was still staring at me, just wondering
Speaker 6: what I meant.
Speaker 5: And her stepmoms just started laughing really hard, and I
Speaker 5: just rose.
Speaker 2: You like we just played twister and wrestling.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. So I left the room and
Speaker 5: then I heard her explaining it to him, and she
Speaker 5: was laughing that he didn't talk to me for the
Speaker 5: rest of the day.
Speaker 3: Oh no, little girl, I would.
Speaker 2: I feel for him. I feel for the man.
Speaker 4: Linda on thirteen one, six five, what happened when you
Speaker 4: met the in laws?

Speaker 7: were coming over. My boyfriend was there. Underknownst to me.
Speaker 7: His friend had given him a little care pack of
Speaker 7: edibles earlier that day, and so she thought, I'll just
Speaker 7: have a brownie or two.
Speaker 3: Oh no, wait, Linda, what did he do? Was he
Speaker 3: able to string a sentence together? Was he still trying
Speaker 3: to talk to your parents?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, because I was obviously nervous. Yeah, one may
Speaker 7: have been okay, might have been able to pull it
Speaker 7: off too. Was just tipped him. I couldn't speak, and
Speaker 7: then had the down, which turned into a little lie down,
Speaker 7: which just turned into a fully passed out and I
Speaker 7: was there trying to explain why my gorgeous boyfriend what's
Speaker 7: fnoring on the lounge? Yeah, it wasn't it.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the great What did your parents think?
