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