Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch.
Speaker 2: Up podcast, Sweety Pies. It is still work, sweety Pies.
Speaker 2: It's still well, it's work in the show.
Speaker 1: Don't get a choice. Well for now, man none, it's
Speaker 1: really pumping.
Speaker 2: I imagine this is exactly how the girlies felt when
Speaker 2: Fred again was getting popular. Because I'm like, we all
Speaker 2: like posers, and we are because as soon as this
Speaker 2: World Cup is over, twentieth of August will be done.
Speaker 3: Okaybe the jersey's gonna be on fire, and there's a rag.
Speaker 1: Fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Rags, shut up fifty. This is one thirty five, but
Speaker 2: I am really thirty five.
Speaker 1: I think he does look good quality. There's budget in
Speaker 1: footy memorability. Look, they're really good on you. Thank you
Speaker 1: babe so much. Let's get to the show. This is
Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms on Kata.
Speaker 2: I want to know if influences should be held accountable
Speaker 2: for the behavior of their fans. The reason why I'm
Speaker 2: asking is that the twitch streamer called Kai Sinat and
Speaker 2: he's been charged with in citing a riot after he
Speaker 2: essentially hosted a really chaotic giveaway in Union Square. So
Speaker 2: basically he found himself in New York City and he
Speaker 2: wanted to do a really last minute giveaway of five
Speaker 2: PlayStation fives, which is amazing. You know how hard it
Speaker 2: was for me to find my own PlayStation five. This
Speaker 2: is hogeous.
Speaker 1: It's a lot.
Speaker 2: Just know that even now a year after the PlayStation
Speaker 2: five who has launched, it's still a hot commodity because
Speaker 2: the little lithium pieces you need to make it have
Speaker 2: to be mined.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Granted, I don't think this is what encouraged everyone to
Speaker 2: come to this giveaway. What I haven't yet express is
Speaker 2: that Kayle Sinnat is the most subscribed person on Twitch
Speaker 2: with six point five million followers, and in March he
Speaker 2: won the record for the most viewers on one stream.
Speaker 2: So it's safe to say he's a really popular person.
Speaker 2: And I would attribute Twitch fans to be some of
Speaker 2: the most engaged fans. Twitch to the live streaming platform,
Speaker 2: which means in order to engage with the person that
Speaker 2: you like, you have to see it live then and there,
Speaker 2: put everything you're doing down and watch them. That's a
Speaker 2: different kind of dedication than just listening to someone's music
Speaker 2: or following someone's Instagram. So of course he has super
Speaker 2: fans anyway, So on his way to this giveaway that
Speaker 2: he hosted, people who were there waiting for him obviously
Speaker 2: devolved into just like the most insane behavior. In minutes,
Speaker 2: people were throwing bottles at the police, stones, tins of paint.
Speaker 2: They were walking around with shovels and axes and lighting
Speaker 2: fireworks and throwing at each other. They were scaling a buildings,
Speaker 2: climbing on top of buildings, climbing on top of cars.
Speaker 2: It just got to that point. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if that's just what happens with a bunch of people
Speaker 2: gather together and there's a bit of adrenaline going up.
Speaker 2: But basically, the New York Police Department declared a Level
Speaker 2: four mobilization, which means they sent more than a thousand
Speaker 2: police officers to the scene with tier gaps.
Speaker 3: Where do they even keep them in New York?
Speaker 1: Do they have to get called from home? I don't understand.
Speaker 2: So at this point he gets charged, which people are
Speaker 2: debating is that fair? Is it not a fair because
Speaker 2: he himself didn't tell people to behave this way. He
Speaker 2: didn't host this giveaway with the intention of it of
Speaker 2: being anything but a gentle, family friendly activity. This kid's
Speaker 2: like twenty one, and now he's got a full record
Speaker 2: based on the behavior of people who weren't acting in
Speaker 2: his likeness. He didn't tell them to behave that way.
Speaker 2: He didn't encourage it, he didn't infer it. It's just
Speaker 2: what happened due to him wanting to host a giveaway
Speaker 2: in a public space. I don't know, man, I feel
Speaker 2: as though it's been really tricky to perceive what happens
Speaker 2: online as being different to the real world, because I
Speaker 2: think if he had really really been able to properly
Speaker 2: visualize his level of fame and influence, he would know
Speaker 2: that they would need to be security guards, and he
Speaker 2: would need to be pre prepared. He needs to tell
Speaker 2: the police it's happening. They would need to get like
Speaker 2: he said project actually yeah, for real. He's like, I'm
Speaker 2: just a guy. I'm just a twenty one year old
Speaker 2: guy who wants to meet my friends. What's a big deal.
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, okay, I would assume this is
Speaker 2: like a pat on the wrist, like you did a
Speaker 2: naughty thing.
Speaker 1: Don't do it again.
Speaker 2: We're going to keep an eye on you, not a
Speaker 2: whole You've now been charged with inciting a riot.
Speaker 3: Have they really charged him?
Speaker 1: They've charged him. Does he have to pay money? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'd be rich. He's got coins. But that's not the
Speaker 1: points on his record.
Speaker 3: Babe.
Speaker 1: It's hectic.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the learning is here. It's like,
Speaker 2: don't do anything for fear that it might blow to proportion. No,
Speaker 2: we've seen even celebrities have issues with drawing crowds when
Speaker 2: it wasn't expected, even if they've been prepared. It's very
Speaker 2: spooky stuff on the internet, but I love sharing it
Speaker 2: with you. If you've heard of any stories that you'd
Speaker 2: like to do a deep dive on, let us see
Speaker 2: selex and firms on Instagram. Produce and Mickey will go
Speaker 2: through that and if it makes the cut, you'll hear
Speaker 2: about it. If you've been noticing a bunch of celebrities
Speaker 2: breaking up, maybe it's trickled down to your own friend circles.
Speaker 2: I can confirm that it's due to astrology. I know
Speaker 2: you're thinking an that's me translating.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you, babes. The proof
Speaker 1: is in the pudding.
Speaker 2: In the last I would say month and a half alone.
Speaker 2: Here's all the people that have broken up. I don't
Speaker 2: know about your inner circle, but other celebrities Kiki Palmer
Speaker 2: and her boyfriend Ariana Grande divorce, Rosalia and Raoul Oh
Speaker 2: like this is a couple that made love songs. Here
Speaker 2: they go for three years commodified their love. Billie Eilish
Speaker 2: and Jesse Rutherford, Sophia Vagara and Joe Manganello bybe Rexo
Speaker 2: and her partner Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mum, what Yeah, Ela
Speaker 2: Headed and her partner Dominic Phi, Counta Schaeffer, Oh, Tiger, Avril, Lavine.
Speaker 2: It's just one thing after the other, and those who
Speaker 2: are you know, across the planets know that it has
Speaker 2: to do with Venus retrograde. Not to be confused with
Speaker 2: mercury retrograde, right, which happens about three times a year.
Speaker 2: Venus retrograde is every year and a half, so like
Speaker 2: a little bit longer, and it also goes for longer
Speaker 2: when it happens. Right, So it's Murdo is the planet
Speaker 2: of communication, technology and travel, and Venus is the planet
Speaker 2: of love, beauty, values, intimacy, relationships. When those things are retrograde,
Speaker 2: it means from the perspective of Earth, the planet is
Speaker 2: spinning backwards.
Speaker 1: It means, simply speaking, things.
Speaker 2: Are haywire, things aren't as they see, things are not
Speaker 2: regular right, And so because Venus has been in retrograde,
Speaker 2: people are like, well, if it's in retrograde every year
Speaker 2: and a half, why is this one in particular so messy,
Speaker 2: like we've seen it from the jump. Even things like
Speaker 2: Lizo having to like really back her values in a
Speaker 2: public space, Jigi Hadid getting done for carrying marijuana. These
Speaker 2: are all things that call into question what are your values?
Speaker 2: What do you believe in? Who do you align yourself with? Right,
Speaker 2: So will they say it's a perfect time to understand
Speaker 2: what it is you want and don't want when it
Speaker 2: comes to love, beauty, relationships, intimacy, and values, and if
Speaker 2: you aren't particular about them and behaving in a way
Speaker 2: that's aligned with what you believe in, the things that
Speaker 2: you want are being taken away from you. So that
Speaker 2: speculation that you know, if you're in a weird situationship,
Speaker 2: it probably isn't gonna work out during Venus retrograde because
Speaker 2: you don't want to be in a situationship anyway. Or
Speaker 2: if you see a lot of friendship breakups or friendship,
Speaker 2: communication breakdowns. There probably is a distance between how you've
Speaker 2: presented your values and the reality of it. I will
Speaker 2: say I wouldn't view any retrograde as an opportunity to
Speaker 2: fear monger. I'm delusional in the sense that if I
Speaker 2: don't want it to affect me, it doesn't, and I
Speaker 2: think you should follow suit. So mercury retrograde is now.
Speaker 2: So how would I advise you go through that? Just
Speaker 2: the basic stuff. Dot your eyes, cross your t's. People say,
Speaker 2: don't sign stuff or read contracts properly. Be very mindful
Speaker 2: when you're booking travel, when you're booking accommodation, get the
Speaker 2: dates right.
Speaker 1: But just live your life.
Speaker 2: These things are gonna happen anyway, and so unless you're
Speaker 2: a certified spooky babe, then just take it as you know.
Speaker 2: Bottom shelf got it's fun and funny really.
Speaker 1: Quickly before we go.
Speaker 3: If you want to start getting into astrology, is there
Speaker 3: like a website I should start reading?
Speaker 2: No. I think if you want to start getting into
Speaker 2: astrology in an enjoyable sense, figure out what your birth
Speaker 2: chart is. So let's say you are piscy Son, then
Speaker 2: I would go to TikTok and I would type in
Speaker 2: piscy Sun and then just listen to what people say,
Speaker 2: and maybe you find out you're a Taurus venus like
Speaker 2: I am. I would go to TikTok and type in
Speaker 2: tourist venus and then watch those videos and that truly
Speaker 2: is enough. Your birth chart is like sixteen placements or something.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to figure out about you.
Speaker 1: In particular, you're listening to Flex and Frooms on Kaita.
Speaker 2: I have had my first boomer moment. If you knew here,
Speaker 2: you might know that through me is the Karen of
Speaker 2: this duo contra read a popular belief people here Flex.
Speaker 2: She's loud, she's opinionated, but not that judgmental. I'm like, ah,
Speaker 2: life on hold on, I say, live is live, such
Speaker 2: as live things are Through me, however, is the type
Speaker 2: of person to command deer arm rests on the plane.
Speaker 1: We're different, breathe. But I have had a moment myself.
Speaker 2: I was ordering food on uber eats, and I go
Speaker 2: back and forth with uber eats because I've had plenty
Speaker 2: of time where I could have just walked and gotten something.
Speaker 2: But you know, here we are my current food fixation.
Speaker 2: Though for those wandering is a sandwich from South Downing Sandwiches.
Speaker 2: You might ask which one I do a little custom
Speaker 2: moment for me is the original sandwich influencer.
Speaker 1: She's been peddaling this one for years without praise, thank
Speaker 1: you very much.
Speaker 2: But as I was ordering this sandwich on Uber Eats,
Speaker 2: I've like put in my order, I've like confirmed it's coming.
Speaker 1: And then now on that.
Speaker 2: Screen where you can track how your orders processing, they've
Speaker 2: got ads on that screen. Now, no fully ads. I
Speaker 2: had one for coals the other day, not like bundle
Speaker 2: for five dollars. No ads, genius, genius, genius. I'm obsessed
Speaker 2: with it. Why was my ad no pictures? Just text based?
Speaker 2: I could have missed it? Gray background, it says, and
Speaker 2: I quote your food order unlocked a fourteen day free
Speaker 2: trial of ancestry dot com, start exploring millions of records
Speaker 2: and connect to a deeper family story.
Speaker 1: I said, what is this doing here? I said, what
Speaker 1: is this do? I just wanted to order a Charlotte.
Speaker 2: Why are you bringing this into I just wanted to
Speaker 2: eat And now you're having me reckon with where I'm
Speaker 2: really from?
Speaker 1: Are we not past this? They said, you need to
Speaker 1: get to the root of where you came from because
Speaker 1: it's not here made, it is not here. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it. I said, number one, what are you applying?
Speaker 1: What are you implying? Okay, I know where I'm from,
Speaker 1: born and braid.
Speaker 2: Second of all, I would love to know why, Like
Speaker 2: what characteristics of me we're in their demographic of primary users.
Speaker 2: It's just everyone who orders food is everyone who could
Speaker 2: be interested in this is because I'm a woman, Like,
Speaker 2: what what is it about my ordering habits that they
Speaker 2: programmed this ad for me?
Speaker 1: They said, you need to do some deep, right efferent
Speaker 1: every night whereas home.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I just I don't want to say something's off.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that. If anything, everything's as
Speaker 2: it should be. Ads are getting you when you least
Speaker 2: expect them. The scam of ancestry, in my opinion, is
Speaker 2: that it can only measure your DNA based on whoever's
Speaker 2: already in the system. So like if I go into
Speaker 2: the system and there's only one or three other Ganian people,
Speaker 2: is it's just going to assume some like some like
Speaker 2: tenutive link, tenuous link to us, like you have one cousin,
Speaker 2: one cousin on the habit.
Speaker 3: Every day we want to learn new things in the studio.
Speaker 3: Our latest type of fixation, if we are to use that.
Speaker 1: Word, is Yiddish. Yiddish. How do I describe Yiddish flexi?
Speaker 3: It's a language, it's a language originating in Jewish circles.
Speaker 3: And we have a listener called Timna. She said to us, Girlies, girlies, girlies,
Speaker 3: I have heard you using Yiddish language. I would like
Speaker 3: to just assist you with the pronunciation. Turns out that
Speaker 3: Flexi ends up sitting next to this woman on a plane.
Speaker 2: What a plane that Timna wasn't even meant to be
Speaker 2: on a plane that ended up being delayed by about
Speaker 2: three hours in total, in which we did spend all
Speaker 2: that time together.
Speaker 1: It was amazing, you said, you really liked her. I
Speaker 1: liked her so much.
Speaker 2: It felt like a rom com in the sense that
Speaker 2: you don't mean to meet someone in an unexpected place
Speaker 2: and then get along with them and then spend this
Speaker 2: consecutive amount of time. And I always find it so
Speaker 2: interesting when I meet people who it feels like we're
Speaker 2: reading the same book on the same page in the
Speaker 2: same way. Have you heard about this thing? They're like no,
Speaker 2: and they're like, have you heard about this, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: it was amazing.
Speaker 1: The vibes are up.
Speaker 2: I've been integrating what we learned, Okay, I've been saying
Speaker 2: nebish a lot nebbits. She's this, I like this pitying
Speaker 2: person or this person that you kind of make it
Speaker 2: more face that. A great example Timna gave me was
Speaker 2: imagine that you walk past a guy at a restaurant.
Speaker 2: Let's say you've been sitting next to him for about
Speaker 2: two hours. You're with your girl is cackling the whole time.
Speaker 2: He's been waiting for a date. The waitress is like,
Speaker 2: do you want to order any food? And he's like, no,
Speaker 2: she's coming. She'll be five minutes. Meanwhile, it's been two hours.
Speaker 2: Stop the look you give him in that circumstance like nebbish.
Speaker 3: And you know that's happened to everyone, and was watching
Speaker 3: Sex and Sey and that happened to you.
Speaker 1: Just keep saying things.
Speaker 3: Every Samantha from Second City got stood up, so you
Speaker 3: know it doesn't just happen to the nebish of us.
Speaker 3: Sometimes a bad bitch is one to get stood up,
Speaker 3: all right. So Tima has sent us a VM that
Speaker 3: plays and make he plays the tape.
Speaker 4: Daka is a similar word to doing something in spite
Speaker 4: with a little bit of cheek. So let's say like
Speaker 4: I'm going on a long trip drive with a friend
Speaker 4: and they hate I don't know, Tavin Parlor, and for
Speaker 4: the whole drive, I just played Tama Pala out of Dusker.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of spie.
Speaker 4: Shnora is the best one. A shnora is a greedy
Speaker 4: person who takes stuff, usually that's free. So let's say,
Speaker 4: like at a hotel buffet, you've had your three servings
Speaker 4: of brecky. You know, you've done the rounds, and then
Speaker 4: you grab the like the big good quality napkins, and
Speaker 4: you pack some sandwiches and buffons and like dried fruits
Speaker 4: and nuts for later, and you pop in your back
Speaker 4: and like you basically have lunch and dinner all sort of.
Speaker 4: And that's a shnorer. So a bit of a I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's a pig, but like a little
Speaker 4: bit of a greedy person. But all of these words
Speaker 4: are done with like a little bit of cheek and.
Speaker 2: SaaS shnora one gets me because I feel like I
Speaker 2: have dealt with like some emotionally schnorish people or like yeah,
Speaker 2: like people were like, I would give you everything. Why
Speaker 2: do you ask for so much? Why do you constantly
Speaker 2: feel like you need to put me out or make
Speaker 2: me uncomfortable? You know those types of people. It's like
Speaker 2: you're always taking, like this is isn't here for you?
Speaker 3: Oh loving, loving these new languages to learn for the girlies.
