Brief overview

A radio trio dish out dating-app advice, give away cash, and joke about dumping rubbish in a sinkhole.

  1. Give a fast no, not a slow noDragging out a dating-app chat denies the other person the chance to find the right match.
  2. Nobody on the apps is being let downEveryone using them is going through the same experience, so don't overthink ending a chat.
  3. A sinkhole has sat unfixed for three yearsA metal sheet covered the 2023 flood damage until the hole reached five metres by five metres.
Executive Summary AI
  • An anonymous listener writing from Auckland, a 42-year-old bloke back on the dating scene after an amicable breakup, says he has too many connections on Hinge and Bumble and asks how to let people down.1:21
  • The fellas advise him not to overthink it: everyone on the apps is going through the same experience, and you are better off giving a woman a fast no than a slow no so she can get on with finding the right person.3:20
  • In the Beer and Pie July giveaway, Tommy, a panel beater who likes the mussel chowder pie from Union Road Bakery, prices Jase's scraped rear door and back panel at five or six grand before the fellas talk it up to $20,000, and wins the $250 cash.7:05
  • Mogi reports the sinkhole outside his front door has grown to five metres by five metres and three to four metres deep since the 2023 floods, with 130-year-old clay pipes underneath, and jokes that he and neighbour Bobby Skelton are filling it with food scraps, couches, a lawnmower, his old Toyota Aqua and asbestos sheets.9:05
  • For the first Come Dine With The Fellas this weekend, Mogi proposes black tie for the men and "sexy" for the wives and partners, which sparks an argument about separating the themes and about who covers what budget.13:16
