My Date Asked for a Refund
Buying someone dinner on a date doesn't mean you're entitled to their time, affection or another encounter. Let's air it out and discuss why asking for a "refund" after a date is no good, unacceptable and truly suss.
What did you do with your wedding ring when the relationship ended?
Let's find out what people do with their wedding and engagement rings once the relationship is done and dusted. Spoiler alert: the ocean waves hold many sparkling diamonds. I also share my views on man made diamonds and why I've never wanted the real thing.
Drive Thru Love (and a Pair of Dirty Socks)
Have you been on a date to Red Rooster? How about Kmart? This week's episode is on retail related dating locations and fast food pickups. I also reflect on my recent trip to Costco and the challenges I faced (and overcame) as a single person while bulk grocery shopping.
How to Say NO!
A submitter tells us about a very loud, history making fart. We also have a chat on flexing your NOs - and how to tell dodgy dates to take a hike into outer space. Smell ya later, mate!
Big Scams and Red Flags
Let's Talk Protection... And Watermelons
"I'm Six Foot Apparently That Matters"... Does It?
We begin with an incredibly awkward hair removal tale; then move onto an honest appraisal of dating apps. Also, does being six foot really (apparently) matter? Are people telling the truth about their height on dating apps? Let's find out!
Obscene Introductions On Dating Apps Are Not Ok.
Hear from confident and assured submitter, Bj, on how she handles lewd messages on dating apps - and why gross comments on apps are not acceptable any time, any place, anywhere. I also say hello (hi!) and introduce myself, so we can get to know each other better.
The Shame of Chicken Nuggets
Take a step back in time and hear the crummy tale of the woman who was busted eating a 24 pack of nugs in bed... That woman is me. I also talk about how shame plays into dating and provide you with a reminder that you are wonderful - just as you are.
Celebrities and Revenge Farts!
You'll want to hear about the secret world of celebrity dating and also when people make you breathe in their farts. The episode starts with a story from the Bad Dates of Melbourne archives and I also talk to you about when I drank a lot of Passion Pop and found two bucks on the floor of a nightclub.
