It's like you're not really like 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.520 your young adult, Like I'm. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.080 Twenty seven six. I think twenty seven is a great year. 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.280 But I would say, I would say your life is 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:46.920 starting now. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.000 Stuff's going to get so good for you the next 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.480 few years, because you get to a point where I'm 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.240 speaking on behalf of myself, but I feel like you 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.560 really start to come into yourself at twenty seven. You're 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.160 in a more stable environment. Usually you're starting to earn 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.760 a bit more money me, I mean, you can do 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:01.440 more things. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.400 Going to depend one percent agree with like I think 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.079 my life, like my my favorite years of my entire 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.000 life have been since I was thirty. Really if everything 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.120 just got better and better. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.760 From thirty for me At twenty seven, I turned twenty seven, 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.679 So your age right now, and that is when I 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.600 bought a one way ticket to Brazil and I came 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.560 back three years later, like I just started my adventures 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.760 at twenty seven. So I look at you like I'm 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.359 not that much older than you, but I look back 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.679 at with like so much nostalgia, Like you're in the 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.320 best part of your life right now. 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.239 So have your birthday only good things that come in 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:32.560 your life. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.320 Get me a card. Maybe there's a ticket to Brazil 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:34.639 in there. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.239 Maybe I'm probably not. Maybe maybe lose the car fair. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.919 Maybe we're replace I like when you say, like I'm 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.880 not that much older than you, Like we're closer to 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.120 a decade older than Mitch than. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.840 What we are, not I mean, you're older than me 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.320 only by a year two. Well no, but the way 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.119 I'm speaking to him is like I've lived four decades longer. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.200 I was gonna say, guys, we get along like a 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.120 house on fire is nothing, and. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.799 That I feel like I'm the same age as you. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.040 It's only when you say you're twenty seven, I'm like, wow, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.240 I was just doing that huge troop at that age. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.200 It's because Brittany likes the younger men. 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.919 It's not that I like younger men, but Brittany doesn't discriminate. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.720 You're the reverse Leonardo DiCaprio. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.720 No, I am the woman.

This is 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:19.880 what happens. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.720 She turned twenty seven and all of a sudden, age. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:23.919 Doesn't matter anymore. That's what I think. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.400 Under that it's a bit not the worst, but it's 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.280 all a touch on go. But once you're twenty seven 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.359 on Bob's your uncle was twenty seven, Laura, Oh, I 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.080 was having the worst relationships that anybody who could ever 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.360 have twenty seven. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.400 I was drunk a lot, partied a lot, and had 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.520 a terrible, terrible boyfriend. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:42.480 At the time. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.600 Okay, so my twenty seven was better than lost awful. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.640 I look back on that and I'm just like, what 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.720 an awful couple of years that was?

Fingernails. Oh, actually, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.680 this reminds me. Once upon a time I had had 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.799 a whole group of friends over they were all Matt's friends, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.280 and it was when we just started dating. And this 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.360 is something I did. I was like, I'm gonna impress them. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.360 I have this one pasta dish because I'm a terrible cook, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.719 but I can cook a really good prawn pasta. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.679 You had on rotation. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.719 You always cook, always, didn't you people? So I thought 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.400 I could roll out the prawn pastor again anyway, I 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:09.920 actually well, I served it and then this one guy 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.480 who I'd met for the very first time now his 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.520 a lovely, dear friend, and he was sitting there and 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.040 he started gagging after a few mouthfuls, and I was like, well, 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.560 that's not a good sun and I mean, like choking gagging. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.320 He's having a dick fit. No, what had happened was 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.720 not only had a piece of my hair and at 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.320 the time I had quite long hair, ended up in 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.120 his food. He had swallowed half the hair which was 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.280 still connected to the food in his mouth. So he 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.400 was choking literally with a piece of my hair all 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.640 the way down his esophagus into his stomach. So some 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.080 so hang on, let me just get this. He was 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:40.880 trying to pull it out. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:43.920 There's a piece of hair in that had made it 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.760 to the stomach, but the other it was attached it. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.080 It was still in his mouth and so he was 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.080 choking because it was like it was and then he 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.120 started pulling it out and. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:54.520 Like a magic treek. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.280 That makes me feel like I could vomit. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.280 True story, you know?

Or is it an accident? 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:41.720 I reckon they put the hand down, had a little 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.080 scratch and it made its way out. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.320 Yeah, it's very bad.

It was like a screw that you 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.800 screw into something. I actually bit down and thought it 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:32.720 was a olive pick, and I kept biting and then 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.520 I'm like, no, it's not nice, spout it out and 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.199 it was a nail. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.040 I love me, Like, I'm just going to keep getting 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:43.040 through this. Pip, this bad boy done for this. Ask 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.679 So Ask and Cart is a segment. I mean, actually 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.360 it's a whole show. We do it every Thursday on 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.240 the podcast. It's where you all right in your deep, 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.040 your dark, you're burning questions and we do our absolute 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.480 best to answer them. I have one today. Oh good. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.880 I'm glad when it came for I bring in a 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:02.679 different kind. 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.360 Of question today, whe I think is pretty relatable. I 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.920 am gonna summarize it because it was quite long. Yeah, 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.040 one woman has hired someone on behalf of her friend. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.360 A woman owns a business. Her really good friend came 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.560 to her and said, my friend's out of work. Can 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.240 you help her out? She's got a family, she needs help. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.960 So the friend said, yep, I'm going to employ her. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.640 I'll do you a favor and give her a job 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.520 because she came with a recommendation. Yeah, of course, three 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.719 months in and this friend that she's hired is not 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.880 right for the job. She's not doing a good job, 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.760 she's a bit weird, doesn't fit in as well. Now 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.520 she doesn't know what to do because she's like, if 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.120 I hired this woman, if I just hide her off 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.520 the job application, I wouldn't have her work for me 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.920 because she's not right. But she doesn't feel like she 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.839 can fire her or let her go because she's done 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.079 a favor for a friend and she wants to know 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:49.599 what to do. 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.160 And I guess also if she's been out of work 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.360 and her friends recommended her, because she's having and going 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:55.320 through a bit of a hard time. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.400 So she's going through a hard personal time. Yes, so 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.520 it's this is a super tricky situation. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.800 Business owner, Laura, I am, but I think it's it's difficult, 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.640 especially when you own a small business. Ultimately, you have 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.440 to do what's right for the business. And you can't 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.520 employ someone and keep someone employed just out of the 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:12.520 goodness of your own heart. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.840 Well, it's not like it's Amazon with twenty five thousand 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:15.720 arrows around the world. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.599 No, And I think it's different. Like sometimes when you 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.839 have a big company, like employees who aren't necessarily like 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.000 stepping up or like doing a good job can kind 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.520 of it can go unnoticed. But when you're a small company, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.280 if someone's not doing a good job, it's very very obvious. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.319 My thought first, before you fire her, before you just 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.880 get rid of her, is is she trainable? Or is 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.200 this person you've employed, like can you upskill them? Can 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.839 you do something to make them be more proactive in 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.199 the role? Are they able to you know, improve And 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.880 if that's not a possibility or that seems too hard 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.760 for you, or you're not able to provide them with 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.720 the training, you have to let them go. I think one, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:51.520 you need to have a review. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.000 Now, maybe you don't do reviews at your work, but 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.959 make it up. Just say it's time for your three 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.880 monthly review. We do one every twelve weeks when you start. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.760 Let's we've just started weekly. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.840 And if I don't like it, you get fired. That's 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:04.360 what happened to that. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.960 And then treat her like a normal employee. Of course 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.640 she's a friend of a friend, but treat it like 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.319 an employee. And then just say, hey, these are the 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:11.719 things I think we can work on. 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.120 I don't think your meeting. Do you think you can 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:13.880 come to the table? 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.079 And then you're gonna have to reevaluate, make up another 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.400 of you at six months reevaluate? 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.080 What is hard? 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:19.320 Though? 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:20.520 Like because it's a friend. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.560 What if I lost my job here at Kiss, here 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.240 at the radio station Laura, and I had to be 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:25.480 hired at Tony MA to make next? 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.360 What would you do at Tony May?

Oh yeah, she's pointing aggressively. I 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.000 know when you're a mate. Okay. There is a trend 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.440 on TikTok at the moment another I love a tick 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.040 ill a TikTok trend. I'm a TikTok over here. Okay, 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.720 no one says that, by the way, I'm a TikTok. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.440 The thirty six year old mom, I'm a TikTok. The 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.960 TikTok the other day and someone, yeah, I know it's disgusting, 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.360 isn't it. We really need to stop. Okay. So there 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.960 is a new trend and it is called peraneum sunning. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.160 Now does one know what is like what the paranem is? Yes, 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.480 So I feel like I'm money, like I shouldn't say, 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.160 I might need to give a biology lesson, but I 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.760 didn't know what it was and I had to look 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.040 it up. If you don't know what a paranem is, 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.920 it's it's the bit of skin in between your legs 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.480 that's not a functioning hole. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.040 It's like the gateway between the front and the back. 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:55.040 Yeah, it's the smooth passage. So basically, the TikTok trend 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.960 is that you need to go out into the sun 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:02.080 for ten minutes every day and present your backside, your 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.440 backside hole to the sun. And that is like a 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.000
