- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake up with a playing Hi, wake up and the club.
- 0:04Speaker 2: On nine four seven.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Is a saying in Zulu that says omnikki sans attacking alok.
- 0:13Speaker 4: Oh direct translation, I give you the hand you want
- 0:15Speaker 4: the whole hour.
- 0:17Speaker 5: Hi, guys, I've hosted my family at my house for
- 0:20Speaker 5: probably the past four or five years.
- 0:24Speaker 1: For my mother's birthday.
- 0:25Speaker 5: Right, So this year I caused my brother to ask
- 0:28Speaker 5: him what he thinks we should do for Mom's birthday,
- 0:32Speaker 5: and he says, we must continue with the family tradition.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Of having everyone over my house.
- 0:40Speaker 6: And I was like, I'm sorry, what have you considered
- 0:43Speaker 6: the state of the economy?
- 0:46Speaker 3: Yeah, on firstly, I'm.
- 0:50Speaker 1: On this lady's side.
- 0:51Speaker 3: And then secondly, how many times must I do something
- 0:53Speaker 3: before you guys start expecting it?
- 0:55Speaker 2: Twice?
- 0:56Speaker 1: Really?
- 0:56Speaker 2: Yes? Correct? I think this is a nice edition that
- 1:00Speaker 2: they've bought here.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Yes, but yes, we can already do.
- 1:03Speaker 3: We can host mom's birthday, but surely it can change around.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Now let's go to your house, and your.
- 1:08Speaker 4: House, don't say we you started this every year on
- 1:13Speaker 4: the eighteenth of August. You said, guys, let's gather for
- 1:17Speaker 4: Mom's birthday. And you know we didn't interrupt you We
- 1:20Speaker 4: didn't interfere because this was your plan.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Well this year, she'd like to interrupt it and have
- 1:24Speaker 3: somebody else.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Hold No, you never told us that this was the
- 1:27Speaker 4: World Cup, and we all have to apply for hosting rights.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Ladies say four years, four.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Years in a row and tradition.
- 1:33Speaker 2: That's definitely problem. That's more. That's that's that's almost the
- 1:38Speaker 2: time it takes you to pay for a car.
- 1:40Speaker 1: You can refuse.
- 1:41Speaker 3: My angel, and this is what she's asking us. She's saying,
- 1:43Speaker 3: would it be wrong for her to refuse to host
- 1:45Speaker 3: her mom's birthday this year?
- 1:47Speaker 1: I say, no, it wouldn't be wrong. Go take your breather.
- 1:50Speaker 2: It wouldn't be wrong, but I'd be disappointed.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I will gladly look at your disappointment in the eyes
- 1:57Speaker 3: and keep it moving.
- 1:58Speaker 4: You'd rather you'd really disappoint your mother just to get
- 2:01Speaker 4: back at your brother.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Are you guys doing you? No, I'm not getting back
- 2:04Speaker 3: at my brother. I'm trying to keep my money in
- 2:07Speaker 3: my bank account.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Well, we knew four years ago that life was expensive.
- 2:11Speaker 4: That's why we never took on the burdens.
- 2:13Speaker 1: We're just postuous. No, we'll just say, guys, I'll host it.
- 2:15Speaker 1: But everybody's bringing whatever it needs to be eaten. Maybe
- 2:18Speaker 1: you don't even want people in your house. Indeed, maybe
- 2:20Speaker 1: you just don't want anyone in your house. You're going
- 2:22Speaker 1: through something you don't want anyone. Then just say, guys,
- 2:25Speaker 1: next year, but you can year.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Everyone's like ah aa, keep the status poll. This is
- 2:31Speaker 3: how things are now.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Then you right, you open the door and you're just
- 2:34Speaker 4: in your pajamas.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Make it so unpleasant for them. You're that they're like, oo,
- 2:38Speaker 3: never coming back here.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 2:41Speaker 2: No, man, I think it's a wonderful tradition.
- 2:43Speaker 1: But so because you're on her side, how would you
- 2:47Speaker 1: pitch it?
- 2:48Speaker 2: What would you say? Then?
- 2:49Speaker 3: I would say, guys, this year, I think we should
- 2:51Speaker 3: host somebody else's house. And then keep quiet, keep quiet,
- 2:55Speaker 3: don't offer any more solutions, like maybe Frankie at your
- 2:58Speaker 3: house in your.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Garden with God.
- 2:59Speaker 3: But the more you talk, the more all you're doing
- 3:01Speaker 3: is making it come all the way round back to
- 3:03Speaker 3: your house. Just say I think we should host that
- 3:05Speaker 3: somebody else house.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Keep quiet, look the other way.
- 3:09Speaker 4: But this is your thing. No, no like, and this
- 3:11Speaker 4: happens guys. You guys always take on these things. Oh,
- 3:15Speaker 4: I always host Christmas until the one year when you're broke.
- 3:17Speaker 4: It's not our problem now, babes, We've all been planning
- 3:20Speaker 4: around you for years.
- 3:21Speaker 2: That's a very good example because my sister hosts Christmas
- 3:24Speaker 2: every year. Every year. She minds about it every single year.
- 3:28Speaker 2: But now it's I mean, it's spent ten years now,
- 3:30Speaker 2: we love it. We come there, we have the same
- 3:32Speaker 2: old gammon.
- 3:32Speaker 1: And then you get there.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Do you know what the problem is? Also, Frankie among
- 3:36Speaker 4: the self appointed hosts looking at right across from me.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Then they come to your house and then they've got
- 3:42Speaker 4: notes on everything you've done, because at my house this
- 3:45Speaker 4: is what I would have done.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Now you could have put in a little bit more effort. Hey, hey, brother, oh.
- 3:50Speaker 1: One one eight thirty eight nine four seven.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Have you ever found yourself in the same situation as
- 3:55Speaker 3: Siba where now the state comes around every year and
- 3:59Speaker 3: people think that's you. You've you've almost become the Durbin's
- 4:02Speaker 3: you like. Imagine New Durbin was tired of hosting us, didn't.
- 4:04Speaker 1: You like, guys? Where would we go?
- 4:07Speaker 3: Zero eight four double zero double zero nine four seven?
- 4:10Speaker 3: How did you get out of it? How tough were
- 4:12Speaker 3: the conversations to be? Like guys, Actually this year, I
- 4:15Speaker 3: don't want.
- 4:16Speaker 1: To host Christmas.
- 4:17Speaker 2: This is this is a moment for you to share
- 4:19Speaker 2: your frustration of how you accidentally created the tradition and
- 4:23Speaker 2: that backs you now.
- 4:24Speaker 3: And the question stands, how many times must you do
- 4:27Speaker 3: something before it is called a tradition?
- 4:29Speaker 4: I don't even know, Like you know, if you say,
- 4:30Speaker 4: can I come into your house in charge? I don't
- 4:32Speaker 4: even allow that because you think it's licensed to visit.
- 4:35Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna ask you, you bet this how many times?
- 4:39Speaker 2: Twice? I'm saying twice two years. If it's two annual events,
- 4:43Speaker 2: that's then that's the tradition.
- 4:44Speaker 3: On one one eight eight thirty eight ninety four seven,
- 4:47Speaker 3: send us a voice called zero eight four double zero
- 4:49Speaker 3: double zero nine four seven.
- 4:51Speaker 1: What do you think of Siba's dilemma?
- 4:53Speaker 3: II?
- 4:53Speaker 5: Guys, I've hosted my family at my house for probably
- 4:57Speaker 5: the past four or five years for my mother's birthday. Right,
- 5:02Speaker 5: So this year I called my brother to ask him
- 5:05Speaker 5: what he thinks we should do for Mom's birthday and
- 5:09Speaker 5: he says we must continue with the family tradition of
- 5:13Speaker 5: having everyone over my house.
- 5:16Speaker 6: And I was like, I'm sorry, what have you considered
- 5:20Speaker 6: the stage of the economy.
- 5:21Speaker 7: Guys, this is somebody's birthday. It's about that person and
- 5:25Speaker 7: making it special for that person. I think you all
- 5:28Speaker 7: need to get over yourselves and however you work it
- 5:30Speaker 7: sort of stuff out, but I think it's making it
- 5:32Speaker 7: special for that person.
- 5:34Speaker 4: This is exactly why I had stopped suggesting things, because.
- 5:38Speaker 8: Now I only be the host the most sith no, okay,
- 5:41Speaker 8: must kip quiet.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Say I blame see that from the first host thing.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Why didn't she ask everybody to contribute?
- 5:49Speaker 3: So I asked JGBT, how many times must you host
- 5:52Speaker 3: an event at your house before it's deemed the tradition.
- 5:55Speaker 3: JUDGBT says there's no official rule, but socially people trying
- 5:58Speaker 3: to treat it like this. Once is an event, Twice
- 6:02Speaker 3: it's something we.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Do three years, four occasions in a row.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Most people start calling it a tradition because there's an
- 6:07Speaker 3: expectation that it will happen again five or more. Babe,
- 6:10Speaker 3: it's firm you established. People start asking, hey, so what
- 6:13Speaker 3: are we doing it this year?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly, No twice, I'm saying twice twice, and we
- 6:18Speaker 2: start saying, okay, next year, it's to do your place.
- 6:20Speaker 3: I think five years, No, no, no, five No, guys,
- 6:24Speaker 3: five years is the round number. Okay, we're on our
- 6:27Speaker 3: way to ten. I think at five years we can
- 6:29Speaker 3: start thinking it's a tradition.
- 6:30Speaker 2: If we've got two brides at your house to watch
- 6:32Speaker 2: the rugby. The next time the rugby comes around, we're
- 6:34Speaker 2: asking you.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Ask your house is loft this fastida your house.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Is exactly it's the pre game definitely.
- 6:39Speaker 1: J W in Victoria, good morning, good morning.

- 6:46Speaker 9: Thank you.
- 6:47Speaker 10: I just want to add to j gpt over there.
- 6:49Speaker 10: But does the United traditions can die?
- 6:52Speaker 1: Yes, thank you.
- 6:53Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying that, or it can shift.
- 6:56Speaker 3: It doesn't have to die. We can shift it to Frankie's.
- 6:58Speaker 1: House this year.
- 7:00Speaker 10: This is exactly what happened to me at the beginning
- 7:03Speaker 10: of the month with my dad's birthday.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Recent Yeah, the wounds afresh.
- 7:10Speaker 10: I always plan everything, I take the reins. I'm a
- 7:14Speaker 10: little late boy, and then this this month I just decided, no,
- 7:18Speaker 10: I don't feel like it.
- 7:19Speaker 9: And I'm incited to say that.
- 7:20Speaker 1: So I just said I don't feel like having people
- 7:23Speaker 1: ever tell.
- 7:24Speaker 10: Me what the arrangements are. When I should arrive, how
- 7:26Speaker 10: I can contribute? I mean I ended up going to
- 7:28Speaker 10: the Spur. My dad loved it so.
- 7:31Speaker 9: Better than this is exactly we got the reps.
- 7:35Speaker 10: We got our mouth dirty or the ball of a time.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Do you know what I think the problem is. I
- 7:40Speaker 4: don't think there's an issue with you not wanting to host.
- 7:43Speaker 4: It's you now expecting someone else to pick up the
- 7:47Speaker 4: responsibility when the rest of us have never ever presented
- 7:51Speaker 4: ourselves to be the host.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Can I tell you.
- 7:54Speaker 10: You've been expecting this all the time from.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Me on the other end of the We're just like,
- 8:01Speaker 3: you know, I've done this now four or five times.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You have now all this pent up energy that you have.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Saved from doing nothing, and we're just hoping that we
- 8:09Speaker 3: can tap into your reserves for a moment.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Yeah, but we have different strengths. Like I know, when
- 8:14Speaker 4: I arrived, mineus to keep the conversation going.
- 8:17Speaker 2: You're just definitely the cooking Mine is not that you know.
- 8:20Speaker 10: You know, that's the true economy she was talking about.
- 8:23Speaker 10: Her energy economy is depleted. It's time for you to
- 8:27Speaker 10: pick up the game.
- 8:27Speaker 7: Now.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I almost hear people saying, oh, you know, the best
- 8:30Speaker 3: day to leave the parties.
- 8:31Speaker 1: You must tell no one.
- 8:32Speaker 3: That's never happened to me because I've never had to
- 8:34Speaker 3: leave any party because the party.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Is always at my house. Briefina, good morning, good morning.
- 8:41Speaker 1: What do you think, Raffhini?
- 8:42Speaker 7: If she wanted to be the favorite child, she can continue,
- 8:46Speaker 7: bring one.
- 8:46Speaker 1: We will just watch. I'm not during that.
- 8:50Speaker 7: I'm not hosting.
- 8:52Speaker 2: You did that for four years.
- 8:53Speaker 6: You never asked for.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Help for four years.
- 8:55Speaker 6: Continue, my sister, I'll send you an efp.

- 9:05Speaker 1: daddy loves you so much. He's so good.
- 9:08Speaker 9: No, no, Hi, guys.
- 9:12Speaker 5: I've hosted my family at my house for probably the
- 9:15Speaker 5: past four or five years for my mother's birthday. Right,
- 9:20Speaker 5: So this year I called my brother to ask him
- 9:23Speaker 5: what he thinks we should do for Mom's birthday, and
- 9:27Speaker 5: he says, we must continue with the family tradition of
- 9:31Speaker 5: heaving everyone over my house.
- 9:34Speaker 6: And I was like, I'm sorry, what have you considered
- 9:38Speaker 6: the state of the economy.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Yeah, look, since she's supplying the venue, she's paying for
- 9:44Speaker 2: the venue. Everyone else was to do everything else.
- 9:46Speaker 1: So she sorted she sorted out the venue she's organized.
- 9:49Speaker 4: My mother stays outside the country and then so she
- 9:52Speaker 4: usually comes here for holidays.
- 9:54Speaker 1: So now it's been made of family tradition.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Just because now I'm the one who has to picky
- 9:59Speaker 4: after the airport and then she has to stay with me.
- 10:02Speaker 5: They come and just open the fridge and hey, whatever
- 10:06Speaker 5: they want to have, and they.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Don't bring anything at all. This is lulu fut.
- 10:11Speaker 5: The city cale Antonia was going mail because now you
- 10:15Speaker 5: started this and now you want people to chip in,
- 10:20Speaker 5: just because we know you are progue.
- 10:22Speaker 1: We've already put the upsits for the day, she.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Says, And this is when it says, don't start things
- 10:27Speaker 3: you can't finish. So now you want to pull out
- 10:30Speaker 3: halfway through. I feel seen.
- 10:32Speaker 1: And because for.
- 10:34Speaker 3: My birthday this remember I was just like I don't
- 10:36Speaker 3: want to have a party.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Yeah, and everyone was like no, no, no, no, no no.
- 10:39Speaker 2: And this I mean to be fair. This is an
- 10:42Speaker 2: expectation you created because we've been having parties for ten years.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Now, teams and everything.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I retract twenty years. Every year there's an
- 10:53Speaker 2: Ely's party and it's fun and we all get together,

- 11:03Speaker 3: was like, there's noways you. I'm not having a birthday
- 11:05Speaker 3: party exactly.
- 11:06Speaker 1: So we had something small. Did that not backfire?

- 12:06Speaker 2: I understand Ciz because he has been invited to most
- 12:10Speaker 2: of the parties, but it was a much smaller fair
- 12:12Speaker 2: this year, really just close to the friends and family.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Nan.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Like the closest of the just you know.
- 12:24Speaker 1: In a second, Tristan, you are in douglas Dale. Good morning,
- 12:30Speaker 1: Good morning guys.
- 12:30Speaker 8: Are you guys?
- 12:31Speaker 4: Day?
- 12:31Speaker 1: We are great? How are you? Buddy? Good?
- 12:33Speaker 9: Thank you for someone the radio. Brother welcome.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Because he wants to break a tradition.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Tristan tell us about the tradition that you are tired
- 12:41Speaker 3: of being in charge of the custodian of this thing.
- 12:45Speaker 9: Okay, so I'm sure you got the one way of
- 12:47Speaker 9: the old tra music festival that happens every every single
- 12:50Speaker 9: year there in Nazak. So one, me and my brother,
- 12:54Speaker 9: when you're still living with my parents decided, okay, guys,
- 12:56Speaker 9: you're gonna preject for the music festival at first it
- 13:01Speaker 9: was great, like everybody bought their drinks and everybody had
- 13:03Speaker 9: a great time. We jump into our UPI's and head.
- 13:06Speaker 9: But then the following year they got suggested that it
- 13:09Speaker 9: happens at my house again, and I was like, okay, cool.
- 13:14Speaker 9: And then third year comes around, guys when we go
- 13:16Speaker 9: into Tristans for pre drinks, and eventually myself and my
- 13:21Speaker 9: parents are going, okay, cool. This is getting a bit much,
- 13:24Speaker 9: And obviously the cleanup is the biggest problem. They built
- 13:28Speaker 9: battles and they brandy and all that kind of stuff,
- 13:31Speaker 9: and yeah, slowly but surely it started getting a bit
- 13:34Speaker 9: on our nose. I don't lie, but since we moved
- 13:37Speaker 9: out out of our parents' house and pre drinks is
- 13:40Speaker 9: not somebody else's. But uh yeah, then at the time
- 13:43Speaker 9: it's just after ten twelve hour music festival, the cleanup
- 13:47Speaker 9: is not ideal.
- 13:48Speaker 3: So basically, everybody that's listening to you that's trying to
- 13:52Speaker 3: break a tradition like this knows now that they.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Have to move house before the tradition dies on.
- 13:59Speaker 9: You need to really in order to get that right.
- 14:01Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Yeah, thanks, guys, I'm moving to Greece
- 14:04Speaker 3: because it's the only way. I want to get out
- 14:05Speaker 3: of throwing my birthday parties here.
- 14:07Speaker 2: But this is such an intense tradition twist, and because
- 14:09Speaker 2: it also means you got to bouy Oultra tickets every year,
- 14:12Speaker 2: so you're committing not you're committing not only to the
- 14:14Speaker 2: pre drinks, you're committing to a whole festival year after
- 14:17Speaker 2: year after year.
- 14:19Speaker 9: She sells an hand for the tickets, and then it's
- 14:23Speaker 9: your house.
- 14:23Speaker 3: The one year you don't want to go to Ultra,
- 14:25Speaker 3: then we're like, no, it's fine, In fact, even better,
- 14:28Speaker 3: We'll come to your house and we'll leave you at
- 14:29Speaker 3: your house, back to making your morning and
- 14:36Speaker 1: On nine four seven
