G'day and welcome to the very first episode of Two Cousins One Chat for 2026 🎉

New year, same cousins… and the realisation that adulthood is basically held together with safety pins, touch typing, and the occasional sewn-on button.

In this episode, Ben and Kristy look back at the life skills our parents, grandparents and teachers tried to drum into us and the ones we ignored at the time but now quietly rely on (like ironing, basic cooking, measuring things properly, and elite-level button sewing).

We also confess to the skills that never stuck, like tying knots, folding fitted sheets, giving directions, patience, navigation (even with a phone), and all the things we confidently said “yeah yeah, I’ve got it”… when we absolutely did not.

There’s nostalgia, laughs, Home Economics disasters, Swiss finishing school flashbacks, Australian Open vibes, and the comforting reminder that none of us really know what we’re doing…probably just like you we are just winging it slightly better than before. IKYKWIM
