A&B Edition: Misconstrued Phrases

This week the girls take aim at... Misconstrued Phrases In the seventh installment of the FNWF A&B Edition Bianca and Amy look at phrases and the variety of ways in which people can misconstrue them. For example, some people misconstrue a phrase by getting one or more words in the phrase wrong. Others misconstrue phrases by misunderstanding the meaning of the phrase itself. Amy kicked us off this week introducing the night's topic. She then discussed the origin story of the term basket case. Bianca was so shocked she dropped her monocle! Bianca then discussed three phrases that actually have meanings we knew nothing about. The second one was close to Bianca's heart as it is a saying used by Bianca's family for generations. It turns out the phrase was said backward however this shouldn't be an issue because they were not using the phrase as a basis for administering medical care to children right? Amy finished us off by discussing words in popular phrases that people say wrong. The message here is Google phrases you say all the time to make sure you are getting them right otherwise you look like an idiot. We say it every week however, if you have a topic you would like us to discuss, hit us up on our socials: Facebook Twitter Instagram Tumblr Or email us at - fridaynightwinefight@gmail.com Episode edited by Amy Support the show

A&B Edition: Gin Fest Recap

This week the girls take aim at... Gin Fest In the sixth instalment of the FNWF A&B edition, Bianca and Amy discuss their recent adventure to Gin Fest held in Melbourne on a sunny weekend in March. Bianca discussed the evolution of this festival in Melbourne Australia and what the festival looks like today. In 2022 the festival comprised 55 Australian and New Zealand Gin Distillers whose staff played host to gin enthusiasts like our girls. Tickets ranged from $73.72 - $182.65 AUD per person and the event was held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, colloquially known as Jeff's shed. The girls then discussed the lead-up to the event including the universe throwing everything at Amy to stop her from going. Little did the universe know that the hurdles Amy faced along the way just made her more determined to get there and drink copious amounts of gin! Bianca also had her dramas on the day which involved losing her sunglasses, forgetting her mask, making the uber driver wait so she could get her mask, disowning her sunglasses as they had betrayed her by going missing on an important drinking day, then reaffirming her love for her sunglasses when she found them in her jacket pocket. Amy then discussed the moment the girls entered the venue and the reality of 55 distillers in one place hitting her like a ton of bricks. Amy genuinely feared for their lives contemplating just how they were going to visit as many distillers as possible and still manage to be able to walk back to the train station when the event finished. Amy discussed the drinking strategies adopted, then quickly abandoned and general shenanigans that ensued as well as highlighted some of her favourite distillers the girls came across. Bianca also discussed her favourite distillers and named all 55 distillers that were in attendance that day. If your favourite gin was at the festival let us know! For those interested, you will be able to find a list of the exhibiting distillers on our blog : https://fridaynightwinefight.blogspot.com/ .

A&B Edition: Adulting, pros and cons

This week the girls take aim at... Adulting In the fifth installment of the FNWF A &B edition, Danni_hell joins Amy and Bianca in their discussion about the pros and cons of Adulting. Amy introduced tonight's topic and reminisced about all the time she spent as a child wishing she was an adult so then she could do whatever she wanted. Oh, how wrong she was! Amy then discussed how working as an adult is both a pro and a con. On one side you can work. In many countries, you have to be in your mid to late teens to earn money working so the ability to earn money is a pro. However, on the flip side, as an adult, it is expected that you pay your own living expenses and therefore you must work making it a con because you have no choice. Dani then discussed the access to adult money being both a pro and a con. Earning money as an adult is way better than getting given money as a kid because you get so much more right? What if you use your adult money to purchase unnecessary things? No one will stop you! Which is both a pro and a con. Bianca finished us up by explaining how the old you get the fewer "f**ks" you have to give. When we are children we have the propensity to care more about things. However, as we age our ability to care about things gets smaller and smaller. This is definitely a pro of adulting. Bianca also discussed a con of adulting being the random medical issue of the day. Why does my back hurt? Where did that bruise come from? Was that mole there yesterday? These are the things we face as adults because our bodies are slowly giving up on us. A massive thanks to Dani aka Danni_hell for being a fantastic guest! Head on over to the blog: https://fridaynightwinefight.blogspot.com/ for accompanying content.

A&B Edition: Video Games with Danni_hell

This week the girls take aim at... Video Games In the fourth installment of the FNWF A &B edition, for a change in programming, Bianca and Amy invited Bianca's sister Dani, aka Danni_hell on Twitch, on the show to discuss the world of video games. Bianca gave us a quick history lesson in video games starting way back in the 1950s and 1960s right up to the point where Amy and Bianca started playing video games themselves. Neither of the girls is an avid gamer per se, although Bianca does like getting her nerd on every now and then. The girls then had a few questions for Dani regarding what drew her into gaming, what she loves to play, and her Twitch account. Amy was intrigued with Dani's Twitch usage and compared the running of a Twitch account to the running of a podcast. Lastly, Bianca and Dani discussed Dani's "rig" and "stats" leaving Amy distracted by something shiny as she had no idea what on earth was being discussed.

A&B Edition: Easter

This week the girls take aim at... Easter In the third installment of the FNWF A &B edition, Bianca and Amy take a closer look at the widely celebrated holiday of Easter! Amy kicked us off by explaining the origins of Easter and how her family celebrated the holiday when she was growing up. Bianca stumbled across an interesting Easter holiday tradition whilst researching this topic. An initial scan of an article Bianca unearthed thanks to Google, made her think that the humble country of Norway had a deep-rooted real crime tradition over the Easter period. Purge, anyone? On closer inspection, our Norwegian friends have a deep-rooted crime fiction tradition over the Easter holiday which involves holidays in log cabins and evenings watching or reading crime fiction. Sounds like bliss! Amy then finished us off by discussing the origins of both the Easter Bunny and the chocolate Easter egg. Amy also discussed how, as children, we never questioned the origin of either tradition even though it is quite absurd that a giant rabbit would appear in the night and leave you chocolate on a date that was ever-changing each year.

A&B Edition: Am I The Asshole?

This week the girls take aim at...Am I The Asshole? In the second A & B edition of Friday Night Wine Fight, Amy and Bianca take a look at the popular Reddit thread Am I the Asshole. They then each discussed two situations on the Reddit thread. Bianca discussed who should pick up the costs of a family vacation and if it's wrong to embarrass your sister at a family dinner (even though she started it). Amy discussed annoying co-workers and if it's wrong for a spouse to spy on their partner and other people in their own home. After much debate, it was determined in each scenario whether the author was Not The Asshole, is The Asshole or Everyone Is The Asshole. We say it every week, however, we really want to hear from our listeners.

A&B Edition: Current Events

This week the girls take aim at...Current Events! In case you missed it, Sarah is taking a break so Amy and Bianca are continuing the tangent train and took aim at current events in the first episode of Friday Night Wine Fight - the A & B edition. Bianca was going to discuss the floods in Queensland and New South Wales, however since the situation is still ongoing she decided to leave it for another time. Instead, she discussed the recent tale of a Catholic Priest who mixed up his words and potentially left hundreds of churchgoers unblessed. Amy discussed the war unfolding in Ukraine giving a brief history into Ukraine's relationship with its invader, Russia. Amy went on to lighten the mood by discussing the upcoming Eurovision song contest which will take place in May. Australia recently held auditions for the contestant who will represent Australia and in true Aussie style, we made a bit of a spectacle of it. Lastly, Bianca and Amy discussed things that they had missed (or dismissed) in recent times and had a brief chat about how Kanye is not ok. We say it every week, however, we really want to hear from our listeners.

Round 76 - Recast this Movie: Independence Day

This week the girls take aim at... Recasting Independence Day Bianca opened the episode with a short discussion of how we came to decide to recast this particular movie. She also explained that we agreed to only recast certain characters in order to make sure this episode was not 84 years long. Then for entertainment purposes, she decided to use a random Disney character generator to assist her in her recasting assignment. Results did not disappoint! Amy also decided to take a different spin and changed the genders of the main characters we agreed to recast in the team meeting. It turns out the genders of the main characters really do not play an important part in the movie! Sarah decided to ignore the brief on which characters to recast and recast the characters she wanted to discuss. Except of course Jeff Goldblum. In Sarah's mind (and heart) one simply does not recast Jeff Goldblum in any circumstances. We say it every week, however, we really want to hear from our listeners.
