WEBVTT - Would You Rather Be Intimidating or Intimidated ❓

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast, brought to you by Listen.

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Here.

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Flex is currently taking view of me playing with my

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 3>crop with my socks on.

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm a documentarian. That's it is. Simply, it is what

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 4>it is.

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>One would think, because I am an influencer, it's me

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 2>that I want to document always. No, I want to

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>document my surroundings at all time because I know the

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>feeling of watching someone's story from an environment or space

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 2>you were in and being like you really captured it

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>all and for a fact, for me leaves cater and

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>looks back on my stories as wow, that.

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Was such a fun day.

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 3>I do a bit of that too, as much as you.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 3>But you do have a great eye.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much.

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 3>And I really love spending time with you.

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 4>You're obsessed.

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I love spending time with you too, doll. I responded,

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>like you would respond, isn't it true? We roll averse?

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Nice do Yeah? Love it? Love it.

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Listen. We're going to talk about whether or not you'd

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 3>want to be intimidate ted or intimidate ting. I think

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.639
<v Speaker 3>I would say that from the outset of Sorry, from

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 3>the outside you're an intimidate tour. Yeah, And I'm not intimidating,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not intimidated either. Perhaps I've been intimidated by

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 3>you in the past.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Some would say, yeah, I'm an intimidate tour, but you're

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>an intimidate tour aggressor you're an animal into it. Yes,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 2>these are true things. But look, I feel like one

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>thing we all need to work on is the stories

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>we tell ourselves about stuff. I hang out with a

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of people who see the world very differently to me,

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>and it can be quite illuminating how you can be

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>in the same environment and be having a very different experience,

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.279
<v Speaker 2>and nobody is willing to not meet in the middle

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>but really validate the other person's experience. So like I

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 2>called mental illness literally, So like I will go on

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>to say, I'm having a conversation with someone who was

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>just adamant that everybody in the room was intimidating because

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>of certain characteristics that they were also just playing. I said, baby,

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the call is coming from where it always is.

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 4>It's big pot call and kettle black energy. Let's get into.

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Sweat, flex and frooms.

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 3>We're back here on our BS. If anyone doesn't know

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 3>what that is, use your imagination. If I said BS,

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>what would you think beasting big sack? Thank you big

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 3>sexy vibes.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay, enough enough.

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm in the mood today where I can't decide if

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm annoying myself or loving myself. You sent me a

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 3>message the other day which was a DM that you

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 3>got sent. I don't recall this, but about me all right?

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 3>It was like a week hereo. It's from a woman

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 3>called Keeley. She goes hallo flex. Can I please please

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 3>ask a massive favor from you? People are really getting

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 3>around the politess these days.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 4>Yea, and I love it.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 3>It's fantastic. Can you please share with rooms that I

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>had an extremely similar experience the first I got lit?

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yep, yep. I do recall scanning this one before

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I passed it on.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 4>So my apology.

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Reference to a time when I was really young and

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 3>I was at a party and I got a little

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 3>bit too close near it and ended up having a

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 3>little tiny mentee bee ran away from the party, sat

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 3>in the forest, calling my parents, crying, feeling like I

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 3>wanted to watch the Simpsons, or like the Simpsons was

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 3>running around my head.

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you had two thoughts. One was I'm in grave

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 2>danger and I love the Simpsons.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 3>All right, can you please pass this on with Thrones.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 3>It was twenty thirteen and I was on my gap

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>year in Ibitha at Navichi show very You, That's big

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 3>and that show. People cryed those shows. I can be

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 3>the one to make you feel that way. These two

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 3>men were having trouble untying their shoelaces from one another

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 3>and said they'd buy me a drink if I could

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>help untie it.

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 3>I did, and I had another drink and I freaked out.

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 3>I went nonverbal and only responded laughed. When my friends

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 3>would say Simpsons clothes, I've got to say, I think

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>it's got something to do with a familiarity. I don't

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 3>really know what's going on up there. Thank you in advance.

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 3>So the hypothesis here, okay, is that when you lose

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 3>your marbles and you're looking for some familiarity in your life,

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 3>the Simpsons is a natural state of order.

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for Simpsons people, but for everybody else who isn't

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>a Simpsons person, what is the equivalent? You wouldn't know

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 2>because you're a Simpsons person. This is my point exactly.

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Simpsons people only know two things, outdated references and old shows.

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 3>The Simpsons is still running. I haven't watched it in

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 3>about twenty years.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>To be fair, did you tell everyone that you're a

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>fake Shrek fan or was that just inter me and confidence?

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, everyone knows.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 4>Should I say it again?

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I feel like what should be a closer,

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>a closer core of your identity is in fact that

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 2>you're a Simpsons person, not a Shrek person, because the

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Shrek thing is just a cute little reference. You've barely

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>watched the whole Shrek movie before, but everyone's like, is

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 2>the Shrek girl, she's the Simpsons girl. People update your references.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 3>People are Simpsons people is too common. I will powers person,

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 3>but I like Shrek has some mystique around him. Still

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 3>MI like Myers, but a real level of mistake and

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.239
<v Speaker 3>a fantastic voice.

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. But if when something is like a mainstream meme,

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 4>can it have any mystique?

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 3>It still does for some reason, It's been going around

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>probably for ten years, Shrek memes.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to understand because now people think I'm a

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Shrek person. I'm like, babes, that's not even me. I've

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>not even seen it before. That's an issue with proximity yeah,

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 2>that's number one. But the proximity to you. Now people

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>are trying to emerge the brands they love Shrek. No, no, no, no,

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that was not what said.

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Anyway.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's stop with that though. So Simpsons people, you don't

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 2>need to identify yourselves. I already know. I'm talking about

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>non Simpsons people. Not to be confused with friends people.

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm not calling for you. Sign for people. I'm not

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>calling for.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 3>You, oh sign feels it.

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>No, the Futurama people, the South Park people, I'm not

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>calling for you.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 3>You were a future Ama girl, No way, really you

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 3>give big future alma vibe? Do I really?

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Actually, the thing is, I'm trying to find the people

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>who weren't influenced by children's show Where are You? It's

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>because you came off of Spaceship. Literally, I was a

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>stalk and then a preteen. Stop flirting with me.

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Flex and frooms.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>A couple of weeks ago, I made an Instagram story

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 2>selfie mode video to camera. Now I don't usually do

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>that these days because I'm out of my ear of

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>oversharing on the internet, and now when I have thoughts,

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I just put them in the group chat, you know, Ah,

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I share them with you, but I was like, this

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>one is getting on my last nerves because now that

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm out and about, you know, I'm making sure my

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>name's on the guest list. These days, I'm popping and

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 2>getting the photo leaving. I keep having a variation of

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.359
<v Speaker 2>the same conversation.

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Hey do you remember me?

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 2>You might not remember me, but we've met, which I

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>can't think of anything more humiliating than putting yourself in

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>a position to be the forgotten person, because you're not

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna believe me if I say I do remember you, right,

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>because you're like, oh no, like she's probably lying or whatever,

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.119
<v Speaker 2>or I now have to overcompensate or overvalue the effect

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>you had on my life, being like no, of course

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I remember you. Now you feel all important for no reason,

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. So that's been grinding my gears.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's park that, you know, because I've already expressed that.

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>The second thing is I keep seeing this floating around

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>the bloody internet, right justifying why you know, like this

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>phrase like you're so intimidating and that's why you don't

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>get the things you want, or that's why this person

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't do this, or so you're just so intimidating and

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>like la la la la lad. And my thing is

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not a compliment to be called intimidating. However, if

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 2>someone were to ask you, would you rather be called

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 2>intimidating or be the intimidated person?

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Which would you prefer?

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Which would you prefer?

0:07:58.280 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Intimidating? All day?

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be the intimidated person. Ill people

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>are so lame, like we're all equal parts of disgusting,

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>rabid creatures.

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Why would I be intimidated?

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 3>I guess. So there's just I think being intimidating is ugly.

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but then being intimidated is like where is your backbone?

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>True? True?

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Like stop pedestalizing people. It's really like naive and childish.

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're both negative, I guess, but you got to

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 3>choose one. Choose by listen.

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I think you made your choice. I think you made

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 2>your choice. Just say the words down the barrels.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>One of my most biggest social pet peeves are people

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 3>who choose to be intimidating. I'll tell you a story.

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 3>When I was in year seven, came to a new school.

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 3>I reckon, I've told you know. I'm at the point

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 3>in my career where I've told the same story at

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 3>least twice.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, you're aging.

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, but this is why we're getting near it

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 3>to get more stories.

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, this is what I'm saying. We need to

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.199
<v Speaker 4>update the back catalog.

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 3>So I'm draining it out.

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, more room Okay, cool coo cool, more room.

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.839
<v Speaker 3>For jelly beans in the lolliger. Now, when I was

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 3>in yey seven, I moved to a new school and

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 3>I was intimidating. Fancy school. You were intimidating, No, I

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 3>was intimidated part of me. It was a premium school

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 3>experience that I was not used to go in. Everyone

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 3>seems really smart. We started with an entrance exam to

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 3>get into the school. Now, it wasn't to get into

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.439
<v Speaker 3>the school. It was to determine whether or not you

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 3>would get a scholarship to the show to the school.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 3>It was kind of like a Napland style situation. Of course,

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get a scholarship. I'm not that good at

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 3>maths and that's a core tenant of getting into this school. Anyway,

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.839
<v Speaker 3>finished the test, I was feeling a bit shit, like

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 3>had really bad anxiety. And then I was walking back

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 3>to meet my mum in the car. And when I

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 3>was that age, I was very smiley, probably a little

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 3>bit too much, like I'd run around people say why

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 3>walk with the little spring in my step?

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 4>That's sweet?

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Like this such a freak. And there was this girl

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 3>that was really pretty and she was wearing red glasses

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 3>and she was with her best friend. I'd like already

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 3>sparred them out. They're in their car going home, and

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 3>I looked at them, I smiled and I waved, and

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 3>they both gave me greases. And it hit different, of course,

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 3>given I am a people pleaser and an upwardly mobile

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 3>social type of person cloud chaser. Well, it is what

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 3>it is, a friend of them in your night via

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 3>getting my hair dyed blonde, getting finally in the popular group,

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.839
<v Speaker 3>and who became good and I probably became I was

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 3>part of the more intimidating group, probably.

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 2>And you made that transition consciously. I want what I want.

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I get what I want by changing.

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Every fiber of my being and then having crisis later

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 3>down in life. No, so what I will say, I've

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 3>been on the receiving end of people who are purposely intimidating.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 3>But the older I get and I guess when I'm

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 3>like living in symphony with my values.

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 4>I love that phrasing.

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 3>I think those people are lame. Yeah, and I don't

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.959
<v Speaker 3>get it. I get intimidated by them in the moment,

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 3>But then at the end of the day, I think,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad I'm not like you. I'm so glad

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm friends with people that are so welcoming, like my

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 3>two best friends Madison and Eliza are like, you'll meet

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 3>them and they just include you and are so interested

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 3>in you, and they remember everything. So I would still

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>choose to be intimidated because I would never consciously want

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 3>to make someone feel uncomfortable. That is at the core tender.

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 2>This is what I'm getting to the people who say

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>they're intimidated. You're creating an air of discomfort totally.

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 3>And I think you make a good point about the pedestalness. Yeah,

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 3>but I'm thinking with my values, yes, I would prefer

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 3>to pedal stool someone and make everyone feel comfortable then

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 3>in invernal. But yeah, sometimes you must invernently make people

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 3>feel intimidated.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Either way, which feels like you know when someone tells you,

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>or like I've been having this thought about honesty a

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>lot because I used to be an honesty is the

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 2>best policy type bitch, until I realize that everyone is

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 2>really emotionally fragile and they can't handle it. And I

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.599
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be that person who's just like traumatizing

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>people because I was told that honestly is the best policy.

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Turns out you bitch as are liars. So now I

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.719
<v Speaker 2>just keep my mouth shut, not trying to say too much.

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to do too much, not trying to be

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>necessarily open to make other people feel feel really comfortable.

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do any of that stuff. But

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 2>what I'm fine is I have so much time to

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 2>observe the way people interact with each other, right, and

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 2>so everybody. I was at a party recently and I

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 2>was talking to this girl who was like, oh my god,

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you so.

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Much for talking to me.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Like everyone here is like so intimidating, And I was like,

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 2>what is it about when they're finding intimidating?

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 4>And she was like, oh, you know.

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Like I've walked in and like nobody's really said anything

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>to me. And I was like, have you said anything

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to them? Like what kind of self concept do you

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 2>have that you assume when you walk into a room

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>people need to now make themselves available to you. I'm like,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>don't you see in my head I'm having this conversation

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>because I was just nodding and smiling because who is

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>this person?

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 4>But I was like, think about your self concept.

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>When you walk into a space, your instinct is if

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.439
<v Speaker 2>people don't acknowledge me that they must be the issue

0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you Are you gonna?

0:12:58.679 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Are you gonna say hello?

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 2>She was just kinda like yeah, I just think it's

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>really strange, like why have this party and have all

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 2>these people who don't know each other and not put

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 2>emphasis on like introducing each other or making them feel

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>everyone feel comfortable. And I was like, well, I said

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>hello to you, so you go pay it forward, you

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? And she was like yeah, but

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 2>it's different because like you were smiling, and I'm like, these.

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Are exactly no no, no, hold.

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>On and again, but these are just stories you're telling yourself, right,

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like you're not smiling.

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 4>She wasn't like if anything, I'm like, you fit right

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 4>in babes. You're giving stone cold bitch like the rest

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 4>of these people.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And you're like the same energy that you're observing is

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the same energy you're bringing into the space.

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 4>It's exact same.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>And to that point, I don't have social anxiety, but

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the people that I know who do, I'm like, you

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 2>be the bitches looking people in a space at all times,

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 2>all my socially anxious friends, I'm like, it's you with

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.079
<v Speaker 2>They're not smiling, they're looking stiff, they're not getting involved.

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, of course, of course.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 2>You look that way, but just imagine the person that

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>you're observing to be intimidating or like rude or whatever,

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 2>is just you reflected Because I know when I walk

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 2>into a space, everyone's like, like bubbly because I'm being bubbly.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Everyone's smiling because I'm smiling. Everyone's being open because I'm

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>being open.

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 3>But you also got clout.

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, but how do you think I got How

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 4>do you think I got the cloud? Babe?

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 2>True?

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I have seen you in social situations and you have

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 3>a very good way of connecting with people and making

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 3>people feel seen. I will say agree with the woman

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 3>wasn't there, but I totally catch her energy. You just

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>know when you walk in a room, it's a good

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 3>vibe or it's a hostile vibe. So Sis, whatever your

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 3>name is, I'm with you. I feel you as a

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 3>smiley person. I have no resting bitch face, and I

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 3>get it. You never see me, don't. Yeah, yeah, it's

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 3>really beautiful.

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>This is Flex and Frooms on Kada.

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 4>So I was watching this video that was talking about

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 4>in and Out. You've been before?

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Sure have?

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Do you like it?

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Didn't write it really not at all.

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the hype is something to do with that,

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 2>because I will say that the chips are quite stale,

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>and I think they're made from real potato and that's

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the issue.

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 4>But the burger was fantastic.

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And whenever I'm in LA, I'm always run around and around,

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>run out and trying to get it.

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 3>God. I really like La me too. I'd leave there

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 3>over Europe. Yeah, maybe we should move.

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we should.

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>I've been trying to convince Flex to move to Melbourne,

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 3>but maybe La is the more logical step.

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Either way, we gotta go. I'm thinking like somewhere Rogue,

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 4>like Portugal.

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 2>So I was watching this video and they were talking

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>about how it's super odd that In and Out isn't

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 2>expanding heaps rapidly because everybody's so obsessed with it, and

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>they only open five new restaurants a year, and I

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>was like, that sounds like a lot of new restaurants

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to open.

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 4>What is that compared to? Like the video was reading

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 4>my mind.

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>They went to say, unlike McDonald's, who opened a new

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 2>restaurant how frequently?

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>For me?

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 2>You should know this every week, think about it. Every

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 2>fourteen and a half hours.

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 4>They showed a map.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Of all the McDonald's in the US. It's just McDonald's.

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's more. There's more McDonald's than roads.

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Every how often fourteen and a half hours.

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 4>Every time you go.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 2>To sleep and wake up, there's a new McDonald's allegedly allegedly.

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 4>How is that possible?

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Does that make sense?

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember hearing this stat a couple of

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 2>years ago and it was one one a day, So

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 2>it's the same thing.

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, I guess the population's gone up to eight billion billion.

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 4>We made it, kiddies, We made it kittlets. Now the

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 4>world is even more uninhabitable.

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 3>We did that.

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 4>We did that, queens.

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh well that's exciting. Yeah it is, you know, I

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 3>used to You know, it's a franchise e situation. Is

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 3>a data guys parents own a McDonald's. You want to

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 3>say that, yeah, okay, it's a Flex. It was so cool.

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Really felt felt that was like a serendipitous moment, you know,

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 3>because I love macas so much. Manifested it.

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I never seen heard you speak this way about anything.

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Why are you still smitten? Let it go dead?

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Sorry? Look up. Next, I want to talk about Simpsons again.

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 3>As we know, Flex is not a Simpsons person. However,

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I am some core tenants of my personality McDonald's Simpsons. Yep,

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 3>getting near it?

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 2>No, no, myself to it?

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Are you still doing getting near it? Poohoo? Whooo?

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Homie?

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Have you graduated on the brain? Doll chilli?

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 4>We are you done?

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Listen? I'm done with the Pooh humor? Right, turning twenty seven? Sorry,

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 3>pardon me, I'm turning twenty five, so I gotta grow

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 3>out of it. Up Next, I want to tell you

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 3>about a message that you sent me that someone sent you. Again,

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.880
<v Speaker 3>as we often talk about on the show, people send

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.159
<v Speaker 3>me messages that they want to give you, yeah and

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:47.200
<v Speaker 3>vice versa.

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Honestly happens way more often than makes sense for how

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>often we're on our phones.

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.640
<v Speaker 3>You've got to send me everyone, please.

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Flex and Frooms on Kita.

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 3>As you know, because we say it every episode. We

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 3>are getting near it. It's getting near It's spring summer season,

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 3>we say.

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Every episode because it's a very new era that I'm

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 2>ushering threw me into. Because I was ushered by a friend. No, no, no,

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you ushered by You don't know. I was ushered in

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 2>by Juan, who is perfectly getting near it. It changed

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 2>my outlook on life completely. I brought the energy into

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 2>the space, did I not?

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 4>I did?

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 2>And I'm ushering you into it, and it's worked, and

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 2>it's worked.

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I must admit I'm on cloud nine.

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm saying now.

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I will say that in my getting near It tactics

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.159
<v Speaker 3>and in my experience thus far in getting near it

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Spring summer season, I've been learning some tricks of the

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.679
<v Speaker 3>trade when it comes to going out, when you're meeting people.

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I went somewhere with a friend of mine the other day.

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Her name is I won't tell you the name.

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I just.

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 4>To give too much detail.

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 3>It just happens. I think it's like when your brain's

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 3>working too slow, but you have to say something.

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yes, it was cad uberty appity.

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, she brings out her well, her purse and she's

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 3>got this whole bunch of pills, okay, and I think,

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 3>what's going on? Yeah, it's not it's not a time

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 3>when we're doing any dirgs. And yet she's got these

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 3>blister packs full of dirgs or some kind. And I say,

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 3>what are those and she says, oh, they're d gas

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 3>and heartburn pills. What are those two things? Yeah, what's

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.880
<v Speaker 3>how she explained it. Okay, you're going on a date, right, yep.

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>And of course farts built up over the day of

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 3>the week. Okay, do you part?

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. But I associate fighting with comfort, so like when

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm in bed late at night, I don't think I'm

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>a day like an errand day to day fighter, really

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 2>not fighting us.

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 4>At the home actually pop one out. Oh yeah, I'm

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 4>in the bathroom.

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Sure, But I never forget. When I was in U nine,

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 3>we went to Canberra.

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.640
<v Speaker 4>We're not doing the tanjet right now.

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to tell you we went to Parliament House

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 3>and I thought it'd be so funny if I farted

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 3>in the lift, because we were like in Parliament House

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 3>farting in the lift. You're sick, thinking Julie Gilard's gonna

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 3>walk in this respect to Julia Gillard. I love her,

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 3>but I just had the mental image, or maybe it

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 3>was it was Kevin a lot of the time. Yeah, sorry,

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.199
<v Speaker 3>that's more fair enough. Kevin rud walks in Kevin O

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 3>seven freaking out with a smell of shite. So I

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 3>did that, and then actually it was all my classmates

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 3>opened the door, came in.

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 4>And ill, what's that?

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Ill?

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:30.439
<v Speaker 4>That would be me.

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I just said, anyway, Degas, how does it work? This

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 3>is how she explained it. She said, when you need

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.880
<v Speaker 3>a fart, you get all these bubbles in your stomach.

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 3>And what Degas does is it makes one big bubble.

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 3>And I thought, that doesn't sound fun.

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 4>That sounds like an atomic bomb. Babe, that doesn't sound

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 4>all right.

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 3>But then we ended up going out with each other

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the next night getting near it spring summer season. Yeah boy,

0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 3>And she said, oh, I actually googled it, and what

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.959
<v Speaker 3>Degas stars is it makes a thousand little tiny bubbles

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:04.640
<v Speaker 3>in your stomach, so they all prick and leave.

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh so it's not the one big bubble.

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how I feel about that, because the

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.679
<v Speaker 2>way Degas works, right, is it just like doing what

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.639
<v Speaker 2>your body would do naturally. Or it's like adding in

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.360
<v Speaker 2>some artificial stuff because you don't want to run away

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 2>to the bathroom quickly fight and come back. There's like

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of preps for like the potential. I don't understand.

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's well DEAs is technically for is

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 3>it for people?

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Who?

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Is it for even ibsah? I think it's the IBS community.

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 3>And yet we've taken it, and you're.

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Taking it recreationally because you don't want to risk potentially

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>needing to fight over the duration of a day, just

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 2>in case you happen to meet someone you don't want

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 2>to fight around.

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 3>You've never clearly never experienced.

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:53.639
<v Speaker 4>Why are you're pointing at me the situation.

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Of getting home with someone it's all going, well, yeah,

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 3>we've all done it. The next morning you're pissing and

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.360
<v Speaker 3>you know it's coming, and the acoustics always crazy, it's

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 3>always it's always on sweet bathroom.

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:13.119
<v Speaker 4>All right, Yeah, look be hungover as well. Okay, okay,

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 4>So the degas did work. You got near it, and

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 4>it was necessary.

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Didn't do a single fart for the whole day and

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 3>night and morning, but.

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.760
<v Speaker 4>It was necessary to take it. You stand by it.

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know if it was like what's it

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.640
<v Speaker 3>called when it when something doesn't work placebo?

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but yeah, you look so proud of yourself, you

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:33.120
<v Speaker 2>look so stoked.

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I just want to say it worked. I'm not here

0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 3>for Big de Gas, Big d Gas.

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because you know Big de Gas is clipping this

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 2>away and they're like, let's reach out to the girls.

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna love us.

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Scream capping.

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Flex and Frooms on.

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Flex has spent quite a few times on planes. I

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 2>used to love it, and then, like all things, that

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>quickly changes because we know pain and pleasure exist on

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the same spectrum, and it's just teetering, teetering, teetering.

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it teeters too.

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Far in my pleasure. Ere if you're wondering same.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>What I will say is that I am a creature

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.239
<v Speaker 2>of habit and a creature of comfort, which is, you know,

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 2>unusual in some ways, but it makes sense in others.

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 2>So when I get into a plane, this is the routine.

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I get in my car, I find parking, or I

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 2>get an uber obviously go to the lounge. Naturally, before

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I get to the lounge, I obviously go to check

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 2>in my bags, I flirt with anyone I can just

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 2>to yeah, just to like give put a pep in

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>my step. It's nice to start the day with a

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>bit of floating. Get to the lounge, have a bit

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 2>of a snack. Could be a little avocado toast, little

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 2>pancake shampers.

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.199
<v Speaker 4>No, behave, that's not me.

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.119
<v Speaker 3>You know that I'm going to do that when we

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 3>go down to Melbourne soon.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:45.639
<v Speaker 4>Gorge, I support you.

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 2>And then naturally I've got priority onto the plane, so

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I take my time, I sit on and then when

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 2>they call us, I saunter onto the plane. I take

0:23:56.119 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 2>my window seat and then I relax. Today though, or

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the day I took the plane, I was on an

0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 2>aisle seat, not my favorite because I want to nap

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 2>straight away. The moment I sit down, my eyes are closed.

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like a coma toast mummy pun intended.

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 4>So we get onto this.

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Plane and it's delayed. So everyone's restless and really annoyed.

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 2>And the couple next to me, I love their energy.

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.360
<v Speaker 2>They let the quirky couple maybe like sixty they want

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 2>a chit chat. Oh they go we were going to Hobart,

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, oh there is like that's a great outfit. Oh,

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 2>that's a great phone case. Chetcha, chetcha chet But I

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>was like, headphones on, Mummy's going to sleep. I noticed

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 2>that someone behind us has been coughing quite a bit

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 2>since we got onto the plane and have been sitting

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 2>on the timac for twenty five minutes. Now, I try

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>not to be funny about that stuff because if I'm annoyed,

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 2>it's gotta be worse for the person that's happening to.

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 2>And I just hope it's not me, you know, So

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of drowned it out. Babies crying, drown

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 2>it out, lad people, drown it out. Not my problem,

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.440
<v Speaker 2>not their problem. But the couple next to me, they're

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 2>not having it. They're not they're not feel good about it.

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:02.119
<v Speaker 2>And I was thinking, they're a nice couple. What are

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 2>they gonna do? Talk about it?

0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 4>They did that.

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.119
<v Speaker 2>What ended up happening was from the time I noticed

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>at the time we took off was another half an hour.

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Every time this person coughed, the couple next to me

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.679
<v Speaker 2>would look back through the gap in the chair to

0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>eye them every single time. And it was so uncomfortable

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 2>because it wasn't like a shady little like you know,

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 2>roll your eye. They would both turn their whole bodies

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 2>and look in the crease of the chair, peer through

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to the person behind, clocked that they were making them uncomfortable.

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Now I was getting uncomfortable because I'm like, Okay, the coffer,

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 2>it's bad, it's not great, but you can't help a

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>coughing fit.

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 4>But the glarers, I'm like, babes, what can this person do?

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, I do a poll on my Instagram story, naturally,

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>because the plan was to sleep.

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm um, i'm um, I say, in this situation, who

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 4>do you think is the worst person?

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 2>The person having a coughing fit? Coughing everywhere but their elbow.

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 3>They weren't covering.

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 2>No, this person was like everywhere spluttering, fluttering, flattering, splattering

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 2>like it was. It was like a symphony of various

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 2>mucusy cough.

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 3>How did you say that if you're in problem?

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Because I heard it, Like, so if I'm on the

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.680
<v Speaker 2>if I'm in the aisle, they're in the middle seat,

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 2>so sometimes they're coughing in my in the gap between

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:23.880
<v Speaker 2>my chair, the coughing and the gap between the other chair.

0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:26.800
<v Speaker 2>They would get up to like I think at one

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>point they were gonna go to the bathroom, but they're like,

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 2>everyone sit down, So they got up and I kind of.

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 4>Like caught the cough for my peripherals. Then I do

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 4>my pole.

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, who's worse in the situation? The person coughing everywhere,

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 2>everywhere everywhere, not being COVID save like, you know, just

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 2>making a scene, all the people who won't stop glaring.

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Initially I was like, one or two glares, let them know, Okay,

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 2>let them know every glare. After it would have been

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>one glare per minute at that point, maybe one glare

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 2>per two minutes.

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 4>It was hectic.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 2>So I did the poll and in the first time

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 2>in my Instagram polling career, fifty to fifty. Well ended

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 2>up happening is after one too many coughs. The couple

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 2>next to me ended up turning around and giving the

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>coffer a mask. Now this couple wasn't wearing a mask,

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 2>but they handed over a mask. We had the whole

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 2>plane flight. We woke up and there was a confrontation

0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that I only just caught as I was coming to

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 2>and the couple next to me were kind of saying,

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what it is, what it is, you know,

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 2>like nobody wants to have a coughing fit. But realistically,

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 2>these are the signs of the times it's inappropriate. You

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 2>should have taken more steps to you know, shield us

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:33.199
<v Speaker 2>from it. You don't know who's immuno compromise. You don't know,

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 2>like we know your situation. You got a coughing fit.

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 2>You don't know everyone else's situation. You don't know what's happening.

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>You should have taken more care, especially because you kept coughing.

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>If it was a one undone it would have been fine,

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>but you kept doing it with no care for the

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:46.919
<v Speaker 2>rest of us.

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 4>It's not a big deal. Don't take it.

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Personally, you know, because they're like, they're like sixtiesh and

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 2>ain't good shit. They're like a ram. But I was like, damn,

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Like they got a point. You can't help a coughing fit,

0:27:55.560 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 2>but you can create micro solutions around being a discussing.

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 3>How did the person react?

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:03.400
<v Speaker 4>I didn't.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I heard them kind of because the person who was

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 2>coughing was the one that tapped them and was like, hey,

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:12.439
<v Speaker 2>like FYI so and so and so and so. The

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 2>person of the coffer was the one who had tapped

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.159
<v Speaker 2>the couple and confronted them. Oh, that's when I was

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 2>coming to I didn't catch it, and then as the

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 2>couple was responding, they were cutting the coffer off from speaking.

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's no good.

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:25.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was tense.

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:27.399
<v Speaker 3>Did he end up wearing the mask?

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm assuming so yeah, leave.

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 3>It at that. Oh I hate this situation. It's not good, right,

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean as a Karen. Yeah, I must say I

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 3>was probably the couple don't want to be. But if

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 3>you want to get to that age, the Karen will

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 3>be in full swing. Oh, let's be honest. But oh.

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me of conversations we have about social responsibility

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>as well, Like in this instance, nobody feels like it's

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>their place to say anything because you assume the person

0:28:57.840 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 2>having the issue is the person who's going to find

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 2>that's right. So I know, if I have a coughing

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 2>fit in public, I'm freaking out. I'm running elsewhere, I'm

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>switching out rooms, I'm going to the bathroom, I'm getting

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 2>out of there. Not because I fundamentally care, but because

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't want to be someone's problem. I

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.520
<v Speaker 2>don't want the confrontation. It's so much easier to just bounce. Granted, though,

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:20.719
<v Speaker 2>being on a plane as a layer of complexity, because yes,

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to be running up and down the aisles,

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 2>but you could have just hid in the bathroom. It's

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 2>not looking good, brothers.

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Any last words, I've been the coffer as well in

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 3>this situation. And when you got a cough, you got

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 3>a cough. I wore a mask when I was coughing,

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 3>I was also blowing my nose, which meant I had

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 3>to mass down. That's so cool. But when you're going

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 3>from Europe to Sydney.

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:43.479
<v Speaker 4>Got the subtle flex.

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:46.440
<v Speaker 2>When you're an international traveler, it does, it does happen,

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 2>it does choice.

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Alas, it could be a good technique to try and

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 3>get into business class because you can hield you.

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, look either way, it's it's not great.

0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>But I also say on a plane is where we

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 2>should be on our best behavior and nobody their best

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 2>behavior that day.

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Naughty, naughty.

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.160
