WEBVTT - Why Froomes Called The Police 🚓

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>The flex and Rooms Daily podcast, and we're back. We

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>never left, never left, but today's episodes can be really,

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>really fun. What you're going to hear is ten minutes

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of me yip yapping because Humy refuses to tell us

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>her dating story that she promised she would, which is okay.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, because I'm always here, you never.

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Know it might come up in the last minute, so

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 2>people have to listen the whole time.

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>No, it's still worth it to listen despite your negligence.

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, I go through Flexi's dating profile and trust me,

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna want to listen to this. You're going to

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>get some inspiration. Also, I assume if anybody finds you

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 2>on Hinge, they might come and do some googling, find

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>this podcast, listen to it, and then they can be

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess like vindicated, saying, oh, I understand why that

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>woman had all those prompts.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't understand that, but I stand by you. I

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna have that where we're all gonna have that doctor

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>message in again, like flex ever understands you, but I

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>do you have some anaesthesia. What I will say is

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe that my profile is a testament to the

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that I don't have traumatic dating experiences like so

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>many of my peers do. You don't have any, not

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>from no, not traumatic, Like you know when people talk

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>about like terrible casual dating experiences. I don't have that,

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's because the kind of profile I'm

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>building is attracting a person that, at the very least,

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>even if we don't work out, not embarrassed by the

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>prospect of having spoken to your talking to you. I'll

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>speak to some of my friends or acquaintances where I'm like,

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 1>you let anybody participate, Like your profile is made for everyone.

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>There are no barriers to entry. You're just so happy

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>to be perceived and ogled at, and you're confused why.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Like you've attracted all these weirdos, there's nothing keeping them away,

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Like you look like the most approachable, beautiful person ever.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course every sicko is like I want a piece.

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, I will tell you a story quickly before

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>we go okay in the intro go on, and also

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>if this person listens, I actually don't care. Oh so,

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>before we came in to record this, someone else at

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 2>the station approached me and said, oh listen, frooms rooms,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>lusty rooms, did you to I'm going to change the

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>guy's name. Did you used to date a guy called Jake?

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And Jake is the name of my ex boyfriend, like

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 2>my actual boyfriend from years ago. And I was like, ah,

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>do you want to say yes? Because it was like

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to incriminate myself. But I was like ah,

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>She's like yeah, like Jack Taylor again, made up name

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 2>you with me, I'm with you, And I was like oh,

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>And she was talking about a man that I went

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 2>on one date with, one date, not the one day

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>claim one date day froom's doll.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>We didn't date a live one date.

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I had one drink with you, and they decided you

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>were sexist and racist, and so I walked away and

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you followed me home, and then I went through uga

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>shopping and you follow me into the supermarket. And then

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I never wanted to speak to you again. And yet

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that was a successful date, so much so that you

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>YouTube dated. So I did some sort of voodoo magic

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 2>to make him obsessed with me, because there's been too

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 2>many of these. So if you listen to this enough,

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I've had enough. You know that I've had enough.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Finally, message him, no, okay, you're going to regret this. No,

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I won't message.

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I just want to see if I can just see

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a bad person all of you.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>If you believe that, then I believe you.

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I must have deleted his messages. We dated? What?

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>We also need to do an episode about people that

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>say dated if you've gone on three dates, you didn't date.

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>But also what we need to talk about people saying

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that people they've like casually dated, like gone a couple

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of dates with other exes. I was like, Oh, no,

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>want's come up with my ex What are you talking about?

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>If we do not have aspirations of long term commitment,

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we're not exes. That is so crazy for you to

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>say that. Anyway, Oh, let's go to what we're here

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to do, flex and froods FLEXI.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Last week I told you all about how I am

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Karen by nature Karen by nurture.

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Which is a great statement that you should trademark immediately

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>if you can.

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 2>True, because I feel like there's going to be a

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>turnaround where we start appreciating Karen's I.

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Think we're there with you leading leading the way.

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 2>One sentence persuasion, I am at Karen, my Karen, my

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 2>inner Karen was challenged on the weekend. What happened Saturday night?

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I get home, been at a girlfriend's house having dinner.

<v Speaker 2>She may be knocky, asked with spinach and add dream

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>chocolate with cookies in it and some wine. Then I'm

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>walking home and i walk past, like this place opposite

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 2>my house. I'm like, oh damn, I'm having a party.

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>That's really cool. I never see that house having a party.

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know it was a house.

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the said neighborhood watch trying you today, you got

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the one to schedule.

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I get home, I'm like, oh damn, I can hear

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the music all through the house.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Whatever time is this, roughly eleven thirty pm.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Then I get into bed, take my makeup off,

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>get myself all comfortable. Then I'm lying down and I

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>can hear the music, and I'm like, that's cool. I

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>want to read my book anyway, finished reading the book

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>after aut half an hour. As I'm reading the book,

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, yeah, I'm cool with this. I'm fine with this.

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine with this because it's going to end in

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 2>half an hour.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>On a Saturday, hard stop surturday eleven hard midnight stop.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Can't know what it is.

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>So it gets to about eleven fifty five and I'm like,

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I need to go to bed in five I need

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 2>to be asleep in five minutes.

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>This is what's the pressure fabs the weekend. Do you

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 1>have something on Sunday?

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Just it's the principal And that's where the Karen

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>comes in.

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Got it?

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 2>The principle that you think it's okay to have a

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 2>party and the music that loud. I'm telling you when

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I said it was in my bedroom boom boom boom boom,

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>thumping music wasn't bad, to be honest, but it was

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.599
<v Speaker 2>right into my ears and my house. I can either

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>go to bed put air plugs in, or I could

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 2>call the police.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>WHOA, those are the two options. You can't sleep with

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a bit of noise. This was really loud. FLEXI had

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you tried to unwind or you were just already riled

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>up by the inconvenience that you like, Actually, this needs

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>to stop in order for me to sleep.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Probably riled up? Yeah, okay? As I said, the Karen

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>was dormant, and then over the course of half an

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 2>hour she was growing. I was all about it until

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't about.

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 1>It, but a forty five minute window.

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, call the police.

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Whoa, whoa, whoa? What are you talking about?

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I called the police?

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>What number to you even call?

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>You call your local stations.

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I could do something because remember last week Freedom was

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>when I gave you that scenario of you know what

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>we should do if you were driving down the highway

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and you saw somebody in the car next she with

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a sign that said hell, and then you said, don't

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>call the emergency line, call your local And I was like,

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know you could do that because you do this,

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>she's so scary.

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Call your local police is all I'm going to say.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 2>They're available all the time.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Are they twenty four hours? Yeah? Wow.

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 2>My advice is if anything's ever no, no, no, So

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you call the number and then the police people pick up.

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And what did they say?

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I said, Hey, my neighbors are having a party, So

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>what's your address? I said, X y Z. They're like,

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>we've already got police there.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you've been corroporating with the community. The Karen

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>network Karen mental network. The mind frame is like say

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>no more. The moment it irked you, the other Karen

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>was on it. It's why I have.

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Hair that's like that to the back of the brain

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 2>is free.

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And so they said there was already somebody on it.

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>And then you said and I said, thank you so much, lady,

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and then that was it. You hung up, and then

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I hung up, and then still took an hour until

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 2>it was shut down. Inefficient. Got a bone to pick

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>with the police station.

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>How many times do you think, over the course of

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>your life have you called the police in a non

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>emergency what one would describe as a mild inconvenience.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, like a lot.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Because it's only only a Karen would truly think that

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the police care enough to help me like that is

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm entitled, for sure, but I would never think that

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the police. I would never think to call the police

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>number one, but to help me about what's a personal preference.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It's Saturday at eleven. They can play some music anyway.

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>There's no remorse here. I have never seen you look

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>more gleeful in your whole life. So what is the

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>moral of the story.

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>The moral of the story is call your local police

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>when is necessary, and you can deem what is necessary

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>because you pay your taxes and you're a part of

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:20.439
<v Speaker 2>the citizenship.

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>My moral of the story is identify your local Karen

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>because they're in and among you and you don't even

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>know it. Flex and frooms And there's many things that

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I won't do, and fact checking is one of them.

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Every now and then, when it's completely necessary, when a

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>headline is sob sir that it needs further investigating, yeah, sure.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>But most of the time, if someone's taking the time

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 1>to recap an article for me, I'm going to assume

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>they're telling the truth. And So there's this trend on

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>TikTok at the moment, and it's it goes something like,

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>what's a scam that has been so normalized that people

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>don't realize it's a scam anymore? And so people share

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>things like paying for housing or taxes or buying bottled water,

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. But I came across this one in particular

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>that talks about how Hinge's Most Compatible is the biggest

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>scam of them all. Listen to this.

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 3>With a scam, this becomes so normalized that we don't

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 3>even realize it's a scam anymore. Hinge's Most Compatible feature

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 3>isn't designed to find the best person for you. Ever

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 3>received a most Compatible profile on Hinge and thought, how

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 3>are they the most compatible person for me? Hinge makes

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 3>a big deal about how it uses the Nobel Prize

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>winning Gale shape Lay algorithm to find you your most

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 3>compatible match. That's not what the algorithm is designed to do.

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 3>The Gale Shapely algorithm was created to solve something called

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 3>the stable marriage problem. This is when you have two

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 3>equally sized groups and you need to find a way

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>to ensure that everybody.

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Ends up with the match.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 3>So it's designed to find the most matches, but not necessarily.

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>The best matches.

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 3>That means, even if you're better suited to someone else,

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 3>if matching you together would leave someone else in the

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 3>group without a match, then it will decide to pay

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 3>you off with the worst match instead, so that no

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 3>one is left on their own.

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Not the menacing music.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I was reading the comments and people are talking about this.

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>One girl in particular was like, I've been matched with

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>my ex five times as my most compatible Can you imagine?

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Shouldn't they know? Isn't there something else? But like they

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>know if you have their number on your phone.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>TikTok knows when I think about something, and Hinges can't

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>put me match you with a cute little six foot

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>five vampire. You can't do that. What a waste of time.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And they're charging your money to be there. Wait, well

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>they charge for it, not the app generally to free app,

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>but to get any of the benefits, you've got to

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>pay for it, which you know, pay to play consumerism.

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Who have you been matched with anyone? Rogue? I'm surprised

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>when it's someone. I'm like, you know what I would?

0:11:59.040 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I would go there.

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 2>You like, oh my god, on a hinge, I don't

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>have the apps.

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're off the apps.

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm off the apps.

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I reckon.

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I've been off the apps for about a year. Just

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>had a few speaky experiences, you know.

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>So spooky good, spooky, quirky, spooky, eccentric, spooky trauma, spooky trauma, okay,

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the best kind. So we talk about them, Yeah, some

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>little something like tell us the story them. I I

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>do see. I also got off the apps just to

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>get back on them, because I was like, I got

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>off the apps to stay inside. I don't go out

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in winter, so it's coping season. I'm gonna need to

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>get back on the apps as soon as it's September one.

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm off them.

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Do people recognize you on them, yeah.

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Which I used to feel funny about and I didn't

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>know why because if somebody, if I liked someone, they

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>liked me and their first message was flex or I

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>love the podcast. I used to be like, oh, no,

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be perceived. But then I'm no,

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>this is so good because then there's so much context

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that I don't need to fill in the blanks for

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you already know what I sound like, what my interests are,

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>what I look like. It's so like this is a shortcut,

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm very open to it. I'm like, I

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>would prefer you know of me and.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 2>You don't mind that it's like quite unequal because you

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know anything about them.

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's just the nature of anyway. It will always

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>be unequal. I mean, if we were two strangers on

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>an app, we would still not know anything about each other.

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>And what we don't know means we can't We don't

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>have context for how unequal it is, right, we just

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>assume we're on the same playing field. So I'm not

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 1>really worried about the equality of it all. But i am.

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think apps are the right medium for anything.

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not that they're not the right medium. I

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>just feel like like we don't use them in the

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>way that they're intended, and then therefore we don't get

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the outcomes that we want.

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>How should we use them more strategically.

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I think people go on the app and they do

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>miss and mister ambiguous. Oh, I'm just here, just say

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>what you want.

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I can you look at your profile?

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, okay, hinge, We've got one notification, but I

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 2>won't go into the messages. I love of shits. Okay,

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>your name is lil. I thought maybe it would be Flex,

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 2>So that's cool.

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy flex mummy. Can you imagine for a little

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>while in Bumble because I had the first time i'd

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>logged into Bumble, it was with it for a Bumble job.

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>So they had my name is Flex and I couldn't

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>change it, and so that was a bit confusing because

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>people are kind of like, are you here for work?

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I think, so, yeah, I think

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 2>it's about time I got another dating sponsorship to give

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 2>me an excuse to get back in there. Yeah, okay,

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>first picture is so cute.

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>It's her, it's me at, it's me, it's me at

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 1>China Heights. Yes, and I just bought a Kildee Crystal

0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Mary sculpture. Uh. It's very hot, very expensive, and I

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>love it so much. And that's the photo that they

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>took of me when they show me the art that

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I brought, and I look so happy and so stoked, gorgeous.

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the prompt the secret to getting to know me

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>is yeah, I need to take this as gospel. By

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 2>asking me to theorize a completely hypothetical scenario, I will

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>take it seriously.

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it'll be fun.

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 2>It will if this was on anyone else's profile in cell.

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I'm cute.

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>True.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And also can we just pause there, because when I

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>had that on my profile as well, Sally was like,

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this is so serious. I'm like, I'm a serious person.

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>You think I have time to faff around and entertain people?

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I already know I'm entertaining and charming and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>And I also think that I was talking to Sally.

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, too many people make their profile up for consumption,

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>like what's going to be a better viewing experience for

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the imaginary audience, as opposed to saying like who am

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I trying to present myself as and who am I

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to attract the person that I want to attract.

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>It is going to say and be like fuck yeah,

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to do that too. And it happens to

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>be a for Dora wearing insult. Maybe that's my king.

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 2>A young Fedora King. Okay, she's twenty eight, she lives somewhere,

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>she's vaccinated, she's spiritual.

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very important, because I don't want to give people

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the wrong impression. Like we come in here every week

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and we talk about aliens and conspiracies and whatever. That's

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>a big chunk of my life. And outside of that,

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing taro, I'm doing astrology. I've got literally the

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>like two Bibles on my bedstand. Do you know what

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean?

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Brand?

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Brand by Christianity? Yeah? Is it?

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean there's different religion Bibles? Yeah, you

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>mean like the King James version? Like what do you

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you? Like, I'm tune in. I'm like,

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 1>just in case I don't want to die and not

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 1>go to heaven. But the thing is, I don't want

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to be in the same way that I wouldn't want

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to meet someone and be like, oh whoa you're like

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a capital a atheist. I had no idea. I don't

<v Speaker 2>Okay, Second picture you on an orange inflatable wearing orange,

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.639
<v Speaker 2>eating orange Toritos with orange glasses on.

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's that say? Material girl? Remember one time this

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 1>guy tried to ask me on a date and he's like,

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>but just wear something casual. I was like, don't worry

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.360
<v Speaker 1>about it, let's not go because I can be casual.

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm casual right now, wouldn't you say, wouldn't we agree?

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 1>This is a casual fear. But if you have to

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.919
<v Speaker 1>preface it, then like we're just not correct.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 2>He's telling you what to do, what he wants.

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.720

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>The Guardian the wrote article, Yeah, I was the first

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>one to do it, and then some random American influencer

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>went viral with it and people were like, where did

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>this idea? She's like, actually it's some random Australian girl. Hectic.

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I didn't come back to me a little

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>bit though, because.

<v Speaker 2>You know, bad bad juju as you drink out of

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a plastic bottle. I take pride in seeking ease, pleasure

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>And a beautiful long pennytail outside what looks like where

<v Speaker 2>We'll get along if if you don't use.

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>This is so important, this is read it. We will

<v Speaker 1>get along.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.639
<v Speaker 2>If this is gonna rock me, Yeah, I feel a

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>bit seen. We'll get along if you don't use self

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 2>deprecation as the cornerstone of your personality.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.719
<v Speaker 1>And it's so true because as soon as people are

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 1>self deprecating around me, you either get me in hyper

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>passive aggressive mode where I'm like, if you're going to

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>do it, I need to call it out every time

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 1>so you hear how silly it sounds. Or I just

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>cannot sustain any kind of intimacy with you long term.

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It's so draining and suffocating, like we all hate ourselves fundamentally.

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Keep it to yourself.

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like you also don't play into it,

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 2>like you're not like, oh that's not true, babe. You

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 2>let you sit there and stew in it. Then we

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 2>got you in active where beautiful no comment is the

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 2>caption exactly, but pause.

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 1>You look at that profile on your own time. You

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>owe us a story. You just crop me out of

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the cater pic. You would never in that one. Also,

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I like that you.

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Have no friends in yours. That's really cool.

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Why is that a bad thing?

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 2>No? I think it's a good thing.

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>No, I do deciding friends in the profile, So I

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that as well. She's like, good you have no

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>friends in there.

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Because it's like, I don't consent to me being in

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 2>people's pictures. Oh really yeah, not necessarily.

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>My dating story is I don't have any and we

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 2>need to finish the podcast and I tell you next.

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Time dog move. Josh called it. That's very Karen of you.

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's more of that.

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms on CADA. Last week, we

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>discussed the million dollar Egg challenge, where we needed to

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>decide if we were comfortable being an egg for a year,

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.120
<v Speaker 1>we'd have to identify who would guard our egg if

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 1>at any time in year they dropped us. The person

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 1>who was in charge of guarding us would win a

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 1>million dollars they kept us safe. We would get the

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. You said you wouldn't do it for a million,

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>but you would do it for five I said I'd

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>do it point blank period. But based on that, I

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>guess my algorithm. My Google agents just not to find

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>me because I came across this challenge called the egg

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Baby Project, and it's like given to high schoolers in

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>class to teach them, you know, about the realities of parenting,

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to practice compassion, to understand how to nurture something, discipline, diligence,

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.399
<v Speaker 1>all of that good stuff, and to also consider just

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 1>the fragility of life and being a person, because I

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think when you're in high school you kind of don't

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 1>understand what it is to be a person yet, let

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.679
<v Speaker 1>alone that there would be trials and tribulations, and that

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 1>it does take time. It's an effort to keep yourself

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 1>safe and alive.

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Not interested.

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>After some research, I found out that there are some

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.680
<v Speaker 1>variations on this project, and that you're told to look

0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>after an egg anywhere from two days to two weeks,

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and there are different like requirements, like the egg needs

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to sleep for a certain amount of time. It's going

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:12.439
<v Speaker 1>to go out and do this. It's got to get food,

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it's got to go out to play, it's got to

0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>meet its basic needs, like it's Maslow's hierarchy. So I

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, cool, Like let me do some research.

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me see, you know what, let me see what

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>information would be required for maybe us to do our

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>own egg baby project in the future. I don't know,

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 1>but listen to this, right I'm looking at like a

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>teacher's PDF. Right now, I'm in the curriculum. I'm in

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the curriculum basically says your egg baby will be born

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 1>on a Monday, so you'll need to come to class

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 1>prepared with a safe and comfortable box for it. Since

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 1>your egg baby needs to breathe all times, the container

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 1>must not have a lid. Isn't this incredible? Do you

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>love this.

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Time?

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I think this is incredible. You need to bring your

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>egg baby everywhere you go except pee, because your egg

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>baby can't be left unattended for any more than a

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.719
<v Speaker 1>few minutes at any time. You'll have to find an

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>exitter for whatever. You are unable to bring your egg somewhere.

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Please respect your teacher's class rules. If any teachers feel

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>like your egg babies are too distracting, they may just

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 1>allow you to bring them to class and you will

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>have to find an exitter for that period as well.

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Now you might say this is super silly and nonsensical.

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Why are you telling me this? What I'm saying is

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>bring this back, because if we're already getting into Handmaid's

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Tail Gilead, we need we need a quick remind of

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>what it is to care for people. Because I had

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>no idea you can't put a lid on an egg

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>baby anyway. This is a four page pdf completely with

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>journaling aspects to check in on your baby as well

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>being and all. I'm saying is that we should do

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>this or at least challenge someone to look after an

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 1>egg baby for two weeks, take it everywhere, document it

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>for a price. Well, did you know your only contribution

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:55.959
<v Speaker 1>has been giggles.

0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Asturising it. When I was in primary school, yeah, I

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.920
<v Speaker 2>befriended this girl. We were like family friends. And one

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 2>day I was meant to go over to her house

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>for a playdate, but I couldn't, so I felt really bad,

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:14.439
<v Speaker 2>so I like drew her this picture and got her this,

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Like I got an egg from the supermarket and like

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 2>did all these paintings on it to give to her.

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 2>So I went over to her house and like gave

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 2>her the egg and the card and anyway, she was

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 2>like cool, and then that's really sweet.

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Then about a month later, our family friends, like we

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 2>go over to the house and they're like, there's been

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 2>this smell in this house, as if there's a rat dead.

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>We've got people to come and look. They can't find

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 2>anything under the house. We don't know what it is,

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 2>And it turns out it.

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Was the egg. Ca'd they find out it was the egg.

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Because like the chick must have just put it in

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 2>her cupboard and forgotten about it, but it was my

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>egg because I didn't drain the egg when I painted it.

0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Why would you? How are you meant to know you

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>meant to drain the egg. That's sweet. You were one

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of those real quirky, eccentric kids. I can just tell. Yeah,

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I want an adult to do this egg challenge. I

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:07.160
<v Speaker 1>want a parent to do it and see if it's

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>actually possible, because to tell a high schooler you got

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to look after this egg like a kid, unheard of, unfathomable,

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 1>not interested. You're listening to flex and frooms on. Can

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I tell you about something that I discovered recently? Do

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what's become really strange about my life? When

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I see something cool? I used to just put it

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 1>in my memory bank and then followed away and hope

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that it would come up in conversation. But now I

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:32.120
<v Speaker 1>put them on a little cater notes and I said,

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to tell through me about this me too,

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 1>all this information that you don't need to hear. But

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, who else am I going to tell?

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 1>But have you heard of this phenomena called one Sentence Persuasion?

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:46.680
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 1>It's also a published book by Blair Warren but the

0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.880
<v Speaker 1>general gist of one sentence persuasion is that people will

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:58.119
<v Speaker 1>do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures,

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>allay their fears, can firm their suspicions, and help them

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>throw rocks at their enemies. What that tells me and

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I notice it in a lot of people who have

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 1>amassed a lot of fame by being controversial. Think of

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 1>do you know Andrew tate elon mask this idea that

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:20.239
<v Speaker 1>they are validating what you believe and putting it on

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>a platform to make you feel better about you being

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 1>on almost like the outsides of the conversation or on

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:30.679
<v Speaker 1>the periphery of the norm. So someone getting on the

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>internet and being like, look, look I don't even shower,

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 1>either like I shower once a day or like once

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a week, or you know, I think it's okay to

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 1>ghost people, or like what I said I want to

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 1>have on one of our first episodes, or people like

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the thank you flex, I want to ghost people now,

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:48.360
<v Speaker 1>or if I said that you know, I don't aspire

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>to do anything with my life, or I hate whoever

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 1>people like yes, I will stand by that person and

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.679
<v Speaker 1>ride with them because they're validating what I believe. It's

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 1>why Jordan Peterson so so much. One sentence persuasion pathologizing

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>very human stuff but taking the brunt of the potential

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>backlash that will come from it.

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Right, So, one sentence persuasion means just saying one thing

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 2>like I do not shower, yeah, and then that.

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Doubling down and making everyone feel not everyone, but making

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:23.880
<v Speaker 1>people who who align with that feel really validated by

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:28.679
<v Speaker 1>you aligning with that for them. Cool, Okay, hectic, So

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:29.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll try it. I don't know.

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be that personal.

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, depends what you're saying. Like, you might say that

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I believe that we should let all girls have free rent. Yes,

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>free rent for women, and that is my plight, and

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 1>who knows, people who agree with that will also be like, yeah,

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you for me, I.

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Believe that too, and then they become.

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>You're not only like your fans, but we'll protect right.

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I say that with particular people that are really popular.

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>It's giving very What's that I'm thinking? How to win

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:11.040

<v Speaker 1>forty eight Laws of Power type vibe like this is

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the way to get into people's heads and get what

0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you want. Not very practical for day to.

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Day, no interesting. I'm a bit dumbfounded by that one,

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to be honest.

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>That's okay. Let it simmer. There's no rush to do

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>anything with it. In the meantime.
