About this episode

The episode explores a disastrous first date in Sydney that ended at a McDonald's drive-thru, discussing modern dating experiences.

Dating in 2026 sounds absolutely brutal. We hear the story of a Sydney woman whose promising first date quickly spiralled into a Macca’s drive-thru, a frozen Coke, an Oreo McFlurry and a pair of shorts being used as a napkin. Ricki and Tim dive into the modern dating scene, compare it to their own very different love stories, and ask whether a fast-food run can ever count as a real date. Plus, a surprising compliment at the Stanmore Maccas proves romance might still be alive after all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
