Speaker 1 (00:00):
They talk better than they scited. Tell me, these are
the radio blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's like for writing in our diaries, except we say
him aloud. We call the blogs Paulina. Yes, ready, yes, okay,
take it away.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Thank you so much, dear blog. I just wonder if
anybody else you know went through this with their grandparents
growing up. So the thing really quick I want to
say about my grandma is I didn't really grow up
with her. She would come here once every like five years.
I haven't seen her in a while.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Poland from Poland.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yes, she's from Poland, from the Old Country generation. I am,
I am, I am. I am a daughter of immigrants,
and my mother was born in Poland. And you know,
my grandma didn't grow up with her, but like she
would come here and it still felt like, you know,
we had a good relationship. I talked to her on
the phone and stuff. So she came here maybe for
the first time when I was like seven, and I
(00:49):
just remember her, you know, making me do things that
I didn't really quite understand, and as an adult I
still don't, but I can see what she was trying
to do. And I'm wondering if your grandparents is anything
like this too. But for me, I have really terrible
posture even as a child. I don't know, maybe because
you know, we're just kids and we don't pay attention
to that. I still don't at thirty two years old.
(01:09):
But she would make me like stand straight and then
put like a broom behind my arms so that the
broom would keep me up. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Really? Yes, really like to teach you how to stand
up straight.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Stand up straight. She would say this phrase. I'm not
going to repeat it because it's not vulgar, but like
it just doesn't sound great in Polish, but like basically
like your chest is in the air, and yes, And
she would just basically try to teach me how to,
I don't know, just have better postures as a young woman.
And then my mom would have me walk around in
heels to practice how to do that. And I still
(01:43):
can't walk in heels. I'm like a baby flamingo, Like
I really can't walk.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, I can, I'll have you.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Know, and better than me. You could walk better than me.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It was a challenge once from this show for me
to walk in heels, and Kaylin went and sourced size
fifteen high heels intended for men who like to wear
high heels. This is true, So I don't know how
you guys do it. I walked around on those things
for like an hour, and I don't know how you
guys do it.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
But you ate though, like I will give you that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, my likes have never looked better. But did
you guys have anything like this with your grandparents especially
hard on you. I think my grandmother was harder and
my mom because she had three daughters and I was
the only boy, so she treated me like a son.
I was like the king, you know what I mean,
But I don't nobody was. Nobody was really especially hard
on me. I guess my dad was, but like at
(02:28):
times with things, but not nothing like that.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, And like maybe because I'm the oldest. You, I
am her first granddaughter. She had a grandson. Me and
my cousin are like four months apart, so I came second.
But I still consider myself like the oldest even though
technically I'm not.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
But my little sister she treated her like golden royalty,
Like she would give her money so she could like
sing songs and polish to us, Like I never got
paid to do that or like to read to us
like she would pay my sister, Sylvia got to go
with her everywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean, I don't know if it's like second child.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Sylvia, it really is Marsha and Marsha and marsh listen.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I'm working through it in therapy. But like I don't know,
I just maybe I'm the first granddaughter. So she was
hard on me, I don't know, or made me do
things like, you know, put a broom behind my back.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Do you feel thankful that like she she helped with
your posture though, because like my sister was kind of
hard on me. Like you know, guys, now, my sister
raised me. We're twenty years apart, and I remember she
was very hard on me to learn how to cut steak,
and I remember crying. Really yes, she was like, you
do not hold your your knife like this, you hold
your fork like that, Like you have to learn how
(03:31):
to cut this steak and not just be you know,
tearing it apart or whatever I was doing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Cause she's like, I don't want to pay for you forever,
so we men are going to take you to these
nice places know how to heat so you can get
off my payroll. No, that's good because I can't cut meat,
and my mom roast me for it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm like, you were the one who was supposed to
teach me.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, so now I thank her for it, But back
then I was like literally crying at a dinner table
with a steak in front of me.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, no, Well, my mom tried to teach me all
the things too, And you guys are like saying, you know, oh,
you know, you should have taught me, Like I'm tried,
but like I was, you know me, I don't like
following directions, you know. I like to people.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I liked it. I liked aware that.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, I will always have something to say. So my mom,
my mom tried to teach me how to cook, and
now if they want to TikTok for recipes because I
didn't listen, I pay attention. She would try to have
me involved in everything too, And now looking back, I
regret that, Like I wish I paid attention and didn't
fight her about everything.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Someone texted that's so Eastern European of her does seem
like a cultural thing.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I think it is. It is Eastern European grandmas and
moms are truly a different breed.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I also think there's a difference between how grandma's treat
boys and girls.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Oh yeah, yes, bandmothers.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
What about you, Jason, did your grandparents ever try and
teach you to do anything?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No, like they never taught me to I don't know,
they like very much. I was the first grandkid, so
they just like spoiled me. But my parents work so
much like I grew up with my grandparents was like
a second home. I love that, but like, no, like
they never punished me anything.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Well, I kind of like a weird torture throw room.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't know. Roscia texted my aunt from Mexico to
this broom thing to me, So I guess it's pretty common.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah. Yeah, well we are here, you know, suffering, going
to therapy, working on it as a group collectively.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I know.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And it's expensive, yes, I mean, my god, I'm gonna
build my grandma.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, tend her bill, sell her.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
She didn't have to sell a cow to pay that,
I mean, and her father.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Some of her brooms. Okay for your therapy. There go
