He's the man.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
There's cuttin the room, and the man's.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Cutting the room fall what's on the cutting room floor?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Have you heard of the tradition of the trad wife? No,
this is resurging in America, the trad wife or traditional wife.
These are women and it's thanks to Instagram and all
that kind of stuff that women are dressing up in
yoldie wildy clothes, house in the prairie kind of clothes.
But you know, without the toilet situation, without the disease
(00:39):
of those days, a lot of chores. Well they do
their chores, but they still do their chores. I think
in a half asked kind of a way. A lot
of this came to like remember the guy I can't
remember his name now who was Travis Kelsey's teammate, and
he said at a validict Victorian address to women who
are graduating from university, and he said to them, your
(00:59):
biggest achievement will be being a mother and a wife.
This is a big scene upset a lot of people because, well,
let's get all our husbands to earn four million dollars
a year for kicking a ball, shall we, because that's
the lucky position. Their wife's sin his wife's sin if
you call that a lucky position. But the trad wife
has really taken hold a lot of it's because of
(01:20):
social media, because it gives women a chance to say,
look at me stirring up a cake mix, look at
me digging in a garden. And also the psychology behind
this for a lot of women is life's hard. I'm
a bit tired of working, as many of us go
through that. I'll pretend my new thing is being a
trad wife. It's a chance to give up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
It's pretty easy really when you look at it. You
know you don't have to really have any ambition.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
You just do the chores and make the dinner and
wash the clothes, which would do that each.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Day, which a lot of families can't afford to do.
You cannot afford to have one family member doing that. Well.
This is a story I've been reading about this woman today,
a woman who quit her gig, it says, to become
a trad wife. She says her husband pays for about
one hundred dollars a week to cook and clean for him.
She sit back at feminist who accused her of just
wanting a sugar daddy claiming that they'd be happier as
(02:09):
well if they followed suit. This is how it works
for them. Her name is d she's twenty eight. Her
name is Alissa. Sorry, and she said, my husband employs
me to take care of the home. It's the best
job I've ever had. Her husband was initially hesitant about
her taking on a more domestic role, stating, this is
a great quote from him. I honestly thought I wanted
(02:30):
a physicist triathlete. That was my mindset.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
But despite his reservations, he decided to give his nineteen
fifty style romance a go.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And here's how it works.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Under the arrangement, the professional homemaker is paid one hundred
dollars a week so she can treat herself to quote,
snacks and coffee, along with the occasional shopping excursion. Her
husband said, we got rid of all her credit cards
and we open the new credit opened up new credit
cards under my account, so now I can see all
(03:04):
of her purchases.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Wow, I would you like this?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Is this something that's secretly you think Brendon all men
would like?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Not at all.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
My wife, she you know, she's got a degree in
biomedical science and she did the UNI, she did all
the training, and then she decided it wasn't for her
as far as working in.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The world of it.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And I used to give us a bit answer and
I said, well, why did you do the degree?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And she said, because I wanted to.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I wanted to see where it would take me, and
I took it where she wanted to be. And then
she ended up not doing it, and then she worked
like admittedly, Helen worked in the time i've known, She's
worked for about five years, that's the extent, and now
she's pretty much retired.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But she does other stuff. You know, she's great at.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Providing at the home, and she does a lot of
work around the house. She likes painting houses. You know,
she goes and fixes up houses and then works on that.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Would you like the situation to be where you give
her one hundred dollars a week and she works for you,
as they say here, because there's something If I was
a guy, I think there'd be something very appealing about that, say,
here's your dinner, here's all this taken care of. I'm
not spending any money that you don't know. Does it
go back to something I have been taken care of.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't have to wear a cricket box. If I
started suggesting that.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, but would you secretly like it?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I whatever makes you happy, the old saying, happy wife,
happy life. If she wanted to be a biomedical scientist
and continue to do that and wear lab coats and save.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The world for long hours, yea mother means that's what.
That's what it's about. You know, that's whatever it's like
for you and Harley. That's the same thing.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Your job took you to many different places, our jobs,
but they're very unique jobs.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But I don't he doesn't have the fantasy. I don't
think of being looked after like that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, what it spends we're wearing in this fantasy, that's
just you remember when it was Harley's fortieth birthday and
many years ago, and he said, as a joke, he'd
like a community nurse to come and give him a
sponge bath, and I said, sure, I'll get him lined up.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You're Hindu to come spongebath with some steel wools.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That's just fun, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But it's interesting that you know many women look at
this and think, well, that's dangerous. And also what's hard
about this is in the current climate in America. This
is where all this tradwife stuff's happening. Women are finding
it harder and harder to break the glass ceiling. We've
seen twice now that Americans would rather a felon. Twice
(05:41):
they've voted for Donald Trump versus two strong women. They've
voted Donald Trump the least likely candidate every time.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yes, Hillary and Carmela Karmela, Okay, Caramelo bear.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It doesn't matter now, it still does.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It still does that at a time when women's health
is being put on the back burner, where their reproductive
rights are disappearing, it's it's a time for women.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
To be out out and loud.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
And yet women are getting smaller and smaller because of
the climate there.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I think I don't think they're getting smaller and smaller.
They've got more choice.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, maybe that's true. Maybe they've got more choice and maybe,
but I've seen a whole lot of women saying, now
is not the time to bail out. Now is the
time when we need every all hands.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Shouldn't be just.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
What makes you, whatever you like doing, if you can,
if it works for you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It works for you.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But as influencers go, and this is all about influencing.
This isn't about how people actually living their lives. The
people that are putting this on social media aren't actually Amish.
This is just there being influencers and they are influencing
younger women.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The Amish life. That would be all right, no electricity.
What do you like with a plow?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I'd be great with a plaid, with those knickerbockers and
grow a big bit and put up a barn.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's not you know. I watched Witness said in the
Armists way of life.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Remember that joke, what goes clip clop, clip clop bang,
clip clop, clip clop? A drive by shooting on Armish territory,
slow paced plan years ago?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They'd have a blunderbus, wouldn't they? Would they? The only
thing I remember from Witness.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I know exactly what you're going to say. You're going
to say something about her nipple.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
No, I wasn't the elaborate birdhouse.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You go to her nip.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Now we're at it, Kelly Mcgillis's nipple wasn't.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was wasn't what it wasn't what I expected?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Wasn't pleasing enough for you?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah? I just was nipple. Yeah, I just comical or
conical conical, it's not it's not. It's not pleasing tone
I okay.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
And he's the guy who says women can be anything
they want. Just make your nipples attractive.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay, kids, that's it today. Come back from che
He's the man.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
