1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: They talk better than they scited. Tell me, these are

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: the radio blogs on the Fred Show.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: It's like for writing in our diaries, except we say

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: him aloud. We call the blogs Paulina. Yes, ready, yes, okay,

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: take it away.

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, dear blog. I just wonder if

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 3: anybody else you know went through this with their grandparents

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: growing up. So the thing really quick I want to

9
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 3: say about my grandma is I didn't really grow up

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: with her. She would come here once every like five years.

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: I haven't seen her in a while.

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: Poland from Poland.

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: Yes, she's from Poland, from the Old Country generation. I am,

14
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 3: I am, I am. I am a daughter of immigrants,

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: and my mother was born in Poland. And you know,

16
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: my grandma didn't grow up with her, but like she

17
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: would come here and it still felt like, you know,

18
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: we had a good relationship. I talked to her on

19
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: the phone and stuff. So she came here maybe for

20
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: the first time when I was like seven, and I

21
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: just remember her, you know, making me do things that

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: I didn't really quite understand, and as an adult I

23
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: still don't, but I can see what she was trying

24
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: to do. And I'm wondering if your grandparents is anything

25
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: like this too. But for me, I have really terrible

26
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: posture even as a child. I don't know, maybe because

27
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 3: you know, we're just kids and we don't pay attention

28
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: to that. I still don't at thirty two years old.

29
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: But she would make me like stand straight and then

30
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: put like a broom behind my arms so that the

31
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: broom would keep me up. Does that make sense?

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: Really? Yes, really like to teach you how to stand

33
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: up straight.

34
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: Stand up straight. She would say this phrase. I'm not

35
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: going to repeat it because it's not vulgar, but like

36
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: it just doesn't sound great in Polish, but like basically

37
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: like your chest is in the air, and yes, And

38
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: she would just basically try to teach me how to,

39
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, just have better postures as a young woman.

40
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: And then my mom would have me walk around in

41
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: heels to practice how to do that. And I still

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: can't walk in heels. I'm like a baby flamingo, Like

43
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: I really can't walk.

44
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Well, I can, I'll have you.

45
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Know, and better than me. You could walk better than me.

46
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: It was a challenge once from this show for me

47
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: to walk in heels, and Kaylin went and sourced size

48
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: fifteen high heels intended for men who like to wear

49
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: high heels. This is true, So I don't know how

50
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: you guys do it. I walked around on those things

51
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: for like an hour, and I don't know how you

52
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: guys do it.

53
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: But you ate though, like I will give you that.

54
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: I mean, my likes have never looked better. But did

55
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: you guys have anything like this with your grandparents especially

56
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: hard on you. I think my grandmother was harder and

57
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: my mom because she had three daughters and I was

58
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: the only boy, so she treated me like a son.

59
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: I was like the king, you know what I mean,

60
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: But I don't nobody was. Nobody was really especially hard

61
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 2: on me. I guess my dad was, but like at

62
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: times with things, but not nothing like that.

63
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like maybe because I'm the oldest. You, I

64
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: am her first granddaughter. She had a grandson. Me and

65
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: my cousin are like four months apart, so I came second.

66
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: But I still consider myself like the oldest even though

67
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: technically I'm not.

68
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: But my little sister she treated her like golden royalty,

69
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: Like she would give her money so she could like

70
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: sing songs and polish to us, Like I never got

71
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: paid to do that or like to read to us

72
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: like she would pay my sister, Sylvia got to go

73
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: with her everywhere.

74
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if it's like second child.

75
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: Sylvia, it really is Marsha and Marsha and marsh listen.

76
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm working through it in therapy. But like I don't know,

77
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: I just maybe I'm the first granddaughter. So she was

78
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: hard on me, I don't know, or made me do

79
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: things like, you know, put a broom behind my back.

80
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: Do you feel thankful that like she she helped with

81
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: your posture though, because like my sister was kind of

82
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: hard on me. Like you know, guys, now, my sister

83
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 5: raised me. We're twenty years apart, and I remember she

84
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: was very hard on me to learn how to cut steak,

85
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 5: and I remember crying. Really yes, she was like, you

86
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: do not hold your your knife like this, you hold

87
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: your fork like that, Like you have to learn how

88
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 5: to cut this steak and not just be you know,

89
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: tearing it apart or whatever I was doing.

90
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: Cause she's like, I don't want to pay for you forever,

91
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: so we men are going to take you to these

92
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: nice places know how to heat so you can get

93
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: off my payroll. No, that's good because I can't cut meat,

94
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: and my mom roast me for it.

95
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, you were the one who was supposed to

96
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: teach me.

97
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so now I thank her for it, But back

98
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: then I was like literally crying at a dinner table

99
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: with a steak in front of me.

100
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

101
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Well, my mom tried to teach me all

102
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: the things too, And you guys are like saying, you know, oh,

103
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: you know, you should have taught me, Like I'm tried,

104
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: but like I was, you know me, I don't like

105
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: following directions, you know. I like to people.

106
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: I liked it. I liked aware that.

107
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will always have something to say. So my mom,

108
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: my mom tried to teach me how to cook, and

109
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: now if they want to TikTok for recipes because I

110
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: didn't listen, I pay attention. She would try to have

111
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: me involved in everything too, And now looking back, I

112
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: regret that, Like I wish I paid attention and didn't

113
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: fight her about everything.

114
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Someone texted that's so Eastern European of her does seem

115
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: like a cultural thing.

116
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: I think it is. It is Eastern European grandmas and

117
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: moms are truly a different breed.

118
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 2: I also think there's a difference between how grandma's treat

119
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: boys and girls.

120
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yes, bandmothers.

121
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: What about you, Jason, did your grandparents ever try and

122
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: teach you to do anything?

123
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: No, like they never taught me to I don't know,

124
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: they like very much. I was the first grandkid, so

125
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: they just like spoiled me. But my parents work so

126
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: much like I grew up with my grandparents was like

127
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: a second home. I love that, but like, no, like

128
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: they never punished me anything.

129
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: Well, I kind of like a weird torture throw room.

130
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. Roscia texted my aunt from Mexico to

131
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: this broom thing to me, So I guess it's pretty common.

132
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well we are here, you know, suffering, going

133
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: to therapy, working on it as a group collectively.

134
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: I know.

135
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: And it's expensive, yes, I mean, my god, I'm gonna

136
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: build my grandma.

137
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, tend her bill, sell her.

138
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 3: She didn't have to sell a cow to pay that,

139
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: I mean, and her father.

140
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: Some of her brooms. Okay for your therapy. There go

141
