Speaker 1: Come on, good day. Hullo everybody.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Friday, big weekend coming up. Eh, well yeah
Speaker 2: it is a weekend. I can't even speak. It's been
Speaker 2: a big week as well. My daughter had her second
Speaker 2: orientation for big school this week. They have three now,
Speaker 2: so like back when we started primary school, it was
Speaker 2: literally like you went into kindergarten and it was your
Speaker 2: first day and you either sunk or you swam. That
Speaker 2: was it.
Speaker 3: Get in there and get going.
Speaker 2: Now they do like cushy orientations that run for a
Speaker 2: couple of hours, and they basically do pretend school up
Speaker 2: until they actually start school.
Speaker 1: Must be nice. I got my cousin Drew's hand me
Speaker 1: down school clothes, so I didn't even fit.
Speaker 3: She's getting hand me downs too from her cousin as well.
Speaker 1: That hasn't changed.
Speaker 3: Well, we walked in, so I dropped her off to
Speaker 3: the orientation.
Speaker 2: We got to the front gate, she didn't even say goodbye,
Speaker 2: and she ran inside like she couldn't escape me faster.
Speaker 3: There were other kids there hugging their mums crying.
Speaker 1: I think that's good. That's what you want.
Speaker 3: You don't want to cling a kid.
Speaker 4: You want them to be independent so that they can
Speaker 4: swim not sing.
Speaker 1: You know what they say, it's actually it shows their
Speaker 1: attachment style. If they run away from you happily, it
Speaker 1: means that they have a safe home. But if they
Speaker 1: cling on to you, their home is distraught.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's what it means. But I was
Speaker 2: also like, I want to cry. Let's just hold each
Speaker 2: other and cry for a bit. She did not, She
Speaker 2: did not care. She was so happy to see her
Speaker 2: school teacher.
Speaker 1: I actually spoke to you on the phone, Lauras, straight
Speaker 1: after you'd picked Marley up, and she did. She was
Speaker 1: like a real estate agent. She was like, Yep, that
Speaker 1: was fine. It was business as usual. Made some friends
Speaker 1: and I'm pissed off with one person. But that's enough.
Speaker 1: That's what Marley said to me. She's great, she did.
Speaker 1: She's already got enemies.
Speaker 3: Yeahmies.
Speaker 2: Even the school teacher came up so like her new principal,
Speaker 2: and she was like, Marley is well and truly ready
Speaker 2: for school.
Speaker 3: She could not be more ready. She should be going
Speaker 3: into your five.
Speaker 1: He looks.
Speaker 3: It's all coming up, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Also, we want to know what is the worst advice
Speaker 2: that you have been given from your grandparents? Usually it's
Speaker 2: the eldest who have like such wise wisdom, but it's
Speaker 2: always not always the case.
Speaker 1: All right, that is next, I'll take your calls on
Speaker 1: the pickup. Welcome to Friday.
Speaker 4: So this week on the podcast, I was telling a
Speaker 4: story about some advice my nana gave me regarding my
Speaker 4: fiancee Ben, and it gave us a proper chuckle and
Speaker 4: then our dms were blowing up with a bad advice
Speaker 4: from parents. Let me just quickly tell you what it
Speaker 4: was when my nana first met my fiancee Ben, but
Speaker 4: we weren't fiancees yet, like we had just sort of
Speaker 4: in the early stages of dating. And I was dropping
Speaker 4: my nana home in one afternoon. She's like, oh, so
Speaker 4: do you think this is serious? And I was like, well, yeah, Donna,
Speaker 4: you know like I like him.
Speaker 3: I think I like him.
Speaker 4: I was like, it's definitely serious for him, and she's like,
Speaker 4: how do you know? And I said, he told me, like,
Speaker 4: he told me that he's serious about me. And she goes, well,
Speaker 4: are you serious about him? She goes, actually, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: He's good enough. Lock him down. You're nearly forty. She's
Speaker 4: like that, and I was like, no, it's not about
Speaker 4: being good enough, Nana. He he is good enough.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 4: And she's like, it doesn't matter, just just do it.
Speaker 4: I give you my permission. And I was sort of like,
Speaker 4: but Nana, like I'm not accepting anything, Like he's wonderful.
Speaker 3: She just wants you to be settled down and she
Speaker 3: wants you to be happy. Think I was getting on.
Speaker 3: She's like, lock it down, so.
Speaker 1: She wants to see happiness before she goes. So she's
Speaker 1: like to take anyone so I can get what I want.
Speaker 3: Wants a couple of grand oh great grandkids. I guess no. Well,
Speaker 3: it was a conversation we had on Life.
Speaker 2: On Cut podcast and I was saying that my nan
Speaker 2: used to give me the advice of like, marry a
Speaker 2: wealthy Man's what she would always say. She said, marry
Speaker 2: a wealthy man, but make sure he's a wealthy man
Speaker 2: who has one foot in the grave and the other
Speaker 2: one slipping in. She would say it so often that
Speaker 2: into the grave like he's almost dead, Like marry a
Speaker 2: man with a lot of money, sugar daddy awful.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Also, my nan is she's not with us anymore, and
Speaker 2: she also married for love, so she was just giving me,
Speaker 2: you know, advice that might have made her life easier.
Speaker 1: She went wrong.
Speaker 2: But we received so many messages from people because you
Speaker 2: would think that the oldies in your life would give
Speaker 2: sage advice right like wisdom beyond their years.
Speaker 3: But some of the advice.
Speaker 2: We've gotten from our grandparents over the years has been
Speaker 2: absolutely terrible. For example, you know everyone always says, like
Speaker 2: rub a gold ring if you've got a stye, like
Speaker 2: rub a gold ring on her.
Speaker 3: In fact that stye.
Speaker 2: Scientifically, that is not good advice because it's full of
Speaker 2: bacteria and it will only make it worse.
Speaker 3: But here are some other ones.
Speaker 2: Natalie wrote into the text line in her NaN's wedding speech.
Speaker 2: She said, may all your ups and downs be only
Speaker 2: in the bedroom. Or Britt wrote in saying, my nan
Speaker 2: told me never to date anybody too hot because they
Speaker 2: have too many options.
Speaker 3: Oh, very funny.
Speaker 4: You know what you know something else my name used
Speaker 4: to say, always wear good underwear. She's like, because you
Speaker 4: don't know if you're gonna get in a car crash
Speaker 4: and you're gonna have to cut your pants off. I
Speaker 4: was like, that's very specific.
Speaker 1: Now, my men and my alma never gave me any
Speaker 1: sage advice nothing.
Speaker 3: Well, advice that was terrible or advice. It's all been good.
Speaker 1: It actually, now I've been good. It was all about women,
Speaker 1: date women. Yeah, they still say that you're going up
Speaker 1: with an ice some of them. The mine's last on
Speaker 1: one of them.
Speaker 3: This one, this one came in.
Speaker 2: It's better to put butter on my children's X me
Speaker 2: than cream and not to drink tat water because it
Speaker 2: gives you cancer.
Speaker 1: All right, now that's RFK level. Yeah that stuff. Producer
Speaker 1: Grace says she's got something.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My nan when I was a teenager, was teaching me
Speaker 4: how to drive, and she said that she didn't really
Speaker 4: believe in breaks and she thinks the car stops itself
Speaker 4: when it has to.
Speaker 3: And she was allowed on the road. Yeah, she still
Speaker 3: drives weirdly.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's yours?
Speaker 6: Hey, So my grandmother told me that I could not
Speaker 6: get pregnant while breastfeeding, and I have now ended up
Speaker 6: with two kids within a year.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it's.
Speaker 1: Such a myth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such a myth.
Speaker 2: Actually, so many people say, give your second kid to
Speaker 2: your grandma and tell her that it's her kid.
Speaker 3: This is yours to raise this is your fault to
Speaker 3: the grandma would have hooked up with her partner.
Speaker 7: Laura.
Speaker 1: You always have the weirdest resolution.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is your kid. Now, that's not how fair.
Speaker 2: I want to have a third child and I'm going
Speaker 2: to give it to my mother in law and then
Speaker 2: she can give it back to me when I'm it's

Speaker 4: away today.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Alexis is joining us, Alexis, what's your
Speaker 1: little wind of the week? Honey, Hello, Hi, Hi.
Speaker 8: My win of the week was my fiance sending out
Speaker 8: his wedding invitations finally his half.
Speaker 3: That's a big win.
Speaker 8: Although that's after I think it's been probably like the
Speaker 8: six months of me nagging him. He finally did it,
Speaker 8: because we're like three months out, so he hasn't.
Speaker 2: He hasn't sent his own invitations like you've done. I
Speaker 2: feel like this is a wedding where you're going to
Speaker 2: organize everything, isn't it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, But like his family is in New Zealand and
Speaker 8: minds in Australia, so it's very hard. I'm not friends
Speaker 8: with all his friends and because you know, we're doing
Speaker 8: it all digitally now. Yeah, it's been a bit of
Speaker 8: a stretch that we finally got there.
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, what's your little win of the week?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 9: So I remembered everything my wife told me and asked
Speaker 9: me for the entire week without her having to repeat
Speaker 9: herself or remind me.
Speaker 1: That's a winner.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's not.
Speaker 4: That's basic human relationship skills.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: But why is two out of our three callers celebrating
Speaker 2: men who can't do their very simple.
Speaker 3: Jobs need to be rewarded.
Speaker 9: I'm so I'm sore, both sleeps the thrive. I've got
Speaker 9: a one year old.
Speaker 2: Feel bad, not really, because his wife still has a
Speaker 2: one year old and his poor wife has the one
Speaker 2: and has to remind of the job.
Speaker 1: What did you remember? What did you remember to.
Speaker 9: Do, like going to the chemist and picking up any
Speaker 9: medicine and things.
Speaker 1: Like that chemist well.
Speaker 9: House of course, and then anything that was kind of
Speaker 9: planned for that week. I remembered as well. And I'm
Speaker 9: not saying that I've got the heart of life at all,
Speaker 9: because i know she does. But I'm working full time
Speaker 9: as well, and you know the long work of you know,
Speaker 9: blank out a bit.
Speaker 1: I've got I've got contacts in the government. I'm going
Speaker 1: to nominate you at I'm glad.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that she was appreciative. Yeah, a good job,
Speaker 3: keep it up for it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's his name? But I'm quick, I forgot.
Speaker 3: The third person.
Speaker 2: If it's another one, like congratulating a man for remembering.
Speaker 1: No, it's Joanne. Hi, Joanne, you're a woman, Joe. Hello,
Speaker 1: you going, Joanne?
Speaker 7: What was your little wid So I'm a single mom
Speaker 7: of four kids and one of the hardest things after
Speaker 7: working all day is making the lunches. So to interact
Speaker 7: with the kids more and get them to pack food,
Speaker 7: I found a fun way for them to do. Grapes
Speaker 7: rather than picking them off one by one, we wrap
Speaker 7: it in a tea towel and roll it like a
Speaker 7: rolling pin.
Speaker 3: Wait, what are you rolling like a rolling pin?
Speaker 7: So you shove the whole thing of grapes in the
Speaker 7: tea towel and you roll it gently like a rolling
Speaker 7: pin and all the grapes fall off.
Speaker 2: Okay, look, I don't even know what's going on, but
Speaker 2: I'm giving. I want to give it to her because
Speaker 2: at least.
Speaker 3: It's not around anyone. There is some tough competition. Chris
Speaker 3: remembered stuff this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is gonna be the hardest little wins we've
Speaker 1: ever done on the sholf. A man that remembered to
Speaker 1: put his undies on.
Speaker 3: In the morning, or a single mom of four.
Speaker 1: It's tough. Girls, up to you.
Speaker 2: No, don't forget the man who remembered to send now
Speaker 2: he's gone. Okay, look I think there is at least
Speaker 2: one little win here, and it's that week.
Speaker 3: What was that? Wait, I've forgotten. What's her name?
Speaker 1: Joanne?
Speaker 3: Joanne?
Speaker 7: Joanne?
Speaker 2: Maybe a single mom of board children, but at least
Speaker 2: she doesn't have to remind a man every day of
Speaker 2: what he needs.
Speaker 3: To do, So that's a winner in and of itself.
Speaker 4: Joanne, you've got Yeah.
Speaker 7: It was not.
Speaker 4: It was no competition this week.
Speaker 3: You want me with the grape you want me.
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still confused by what you do with
Speaker 2: the grapes and the tea towel.
Speaker 1: But don't get her started on that again. Congratch Joanne, Chris, mate,
