0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Another day, another party and thank goodness for that.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 3>And we have a very exciting guest. I am so excited.

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 3>She is my favorite comedian. Everybody. It's Hajuang. She is

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:19.959
<v Speaker 3>from China. She's come to Australia three years ago. She

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.119
<v Speaker 3>has a lot of observations about our culture versus their culture.

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 3>She blew up on social media in China and was,

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 3>how do I say butrate it?

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I didn't get a lot of feedback from the homeland. Yeah,

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>but you know, it is what it is. She's not

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>fast by it.

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 4>I am so interested to hear what all your comedian

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 4>friends in particular think about you grounding them as not

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 4>your favorite comedian.

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry, but it is what it is. At

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 3>this point, she just was very spectacular. I'm a breath

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 3>of fresher here with Flex and Frooms.

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. This is Flex and Frooms on Kaita.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 3>We were talking a few days ago about period trackers.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>There is a period track I use. I decided, oh

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 3>my god, maybe they actually might be stealing my data.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 3>I freak out and I want to delete it.

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it's stealing if you gave it to them.

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 3>No, that's that's a whole other that's a whole other

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 3>kind of worms. And it got me thinking because then

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 3>we spoke about it, and you and Mikayla, our producer,

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 3>said I'm just going to do the period tracking manually

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 3>in a diary and I was like, well.

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 4>And I said no, because you're not getting any of

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 4>the perks of manual tracking.

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm like, I need that notification with manual tracking.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 3>But it got me thinking, like I have made a

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 3>physical diary before, as well as I've written things in notes.

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 3>What would I rather be corrupted? Would I rather the

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 3>physical diary by read by someone I love who has

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 3>full access to like the characters in the diary and

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 3>it's probably about them. Or would I rather a benevolent

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 3>force or perhaps cloud hack out the cloud to disseminate

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 3>the information to people I don't know? For profit?

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>What's in your diary? No mean, what is in my diary?

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 4>Because for me, anything that I journal like and I

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 4>don't hold myself to a consistent journal standard anymore, but

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 4>anything I did were dreams that I have, which I

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 4>would be like, listen to my dream or another outlet

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.079
<v Speaker 4>to rehash the same topic I've talked about forty five

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 4>times for view, just in written format.

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>You see, you are unusual, I think for the majority

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 3>of people. And I want Jordan and Mickey in the

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 3>way in way In to weigh in. For me, I've

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 3>always sort of diaries as a place to figure out

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 3>your emotions and your interactions with people, like a journal,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>like journal, like when you're a kid, you've got the

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 3>journal that has like the digital lock on it.

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, but how is that how you're using it

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>right now?

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Are you putting things in your diary that you're not

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 4>gonna unpack with other people, things about relationships?

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, I've done it before, and I've been I've

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 3>done it in the past, and I've been glad to

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 3>do it because I look back and I can see

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 3>a day to day thing of how my feelings changed. Yeah,

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 3>and that's priceless.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.519
<v Speaker 3>When you sometimes doing you write a physical diary, I

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>think there's a part of you that wants it to

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>be found. Maybe subconsciously, I mean I don't want to

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 3>be but potentially see that like you're putting out into the.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And then you put your little lock on it and

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>someone like, Hey, I hope maybe nobody sees this.

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 4>That's your You're in your your spectator, your constant state

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 4>of being the observer and the observed.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Is someone going to see this? I hope someone doesn't

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>see this.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I think people think like that. I'm talking about like

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>that teenage particularly that you're talking now. No, no, no,

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't write no, I'm talking about in the past,

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 3>and I've written like.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I don't know what I thought. Then what are

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 4>you thinking? I thought right now, like would you rather

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 4>if you were holding a digital diary or a physical one?

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>What would you rather be? I thought what you.

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Were saying is the chances of your physical diary being

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>compromised is by someone who actually quite knows you well,

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 4>and it's like one or two people. But then the

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 4>digital version is like the hacker and like could go

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 4>to the world or no one.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm just right that it seems like an obvious Yeah, yeah,

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 3>what do you think, Miki?

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 4>I think it'd be more incriminal to leak my notes

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 4>up until we could get so much in.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>The drafted text my journal is just my manifesting.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>The journal is the manifesting place and sometimes put a

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 4>little bit extra context. So you know, like I think

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 4>when I write in my journal, it's when I'm trying

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 4>to workshop a very specific thing, but I.

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Always slick it. I don't care I flipped the switch.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of like, Okay, I'm board of pining. Let's

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 4>start getting the witches to get them to work, get

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 4>them to work.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>What do we want? What do we want?

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'll go home and do that tonight.

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 4>I want a bajillion dollars not correct money, definitely not corrupt.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 4>Instagram isn't fun anymore.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>But why?

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 4>That's the thing about these conversations that happen on mass

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 4>on the internet. We rarely get to the why. And look,

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 4>we're not looking for answers, but some context that helps

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 4>us understand what's going on.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Please.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 4>Turns out, teen Vogue has a few answers for you,

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 4>in the form of an article that talks about how

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 4>the re reason why a lot of us hate Instagram

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 4>is because we don't understand the building pressure of trying

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 4>to like depict ourselves in this perfect blend of candid

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 4>and curated, and that we don't understand that to be

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 4>at odds with each other in such an obvious active

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 4>way is the issue. It's not the fact that the

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 4>feed is not in chronological order. Oh, it's not the

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 4>fact that you've got to arrange your messages from primary

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 4>to general horrible, horrible stuff. It's not the fact that

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 4>you know sometimes someone's close friends. No, no, no, no no.

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 4>The thing that is plaguing us is our interaction with

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 4>the app that we don't want to change because at

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 4>one point it's served a really important purpose.

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 4>So this article called trying to get your CRUSH's attention

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 4>on Instagram can emotionally break You by Ameu on teen Vogue.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 4>It's a reported essay, which we love, but the whole

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 4>article talks about the self inflicted negative emotional impact of

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 4>trying to manipulate your crush.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, where is this going?

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 4>And I'm very fascinated with just any kind of online

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 4>publication that still writes op eds and like these personal essays,

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 4>because right now we get people's draft thoughts in these

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 4>fifteen second draft thoughts, but when someone writes a ten

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 4>thousand word essay one thousand.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Word you're like, yeah, you meant that.

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 4>So the opening paragraph of the essay says, Nia sat

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 4>with her friend group at Denny's in South Beach when

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 4>she opened her Snapchat to see her crush also at

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Denny's at the location forty minutes away in the Miami suburbs.

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 4>In hopes of casually running into him, she packed her

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 4>friends back into the car and sped to the other

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 4>side of town in a record breaking twenty minutes.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't there when she.

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 4>Arrived, but she still posted a photo to her Snapchat

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 4>story sitting at one of the booths. Her crush replied

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 4>an hour later, Yo, you're at Denny's. Two success, and

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 4>then goes on to say that she didn't know when

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 4>the exact day her Instagram story posts changed from a

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 4>casual portrayal of her day to day to a quest

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 4>to catch a CRUSH's attention, but that she recognizes the

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 4>flow on effect from all parts of her life that

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 4>when did things that she did for joy or just

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 4>because she wanted to do them turned into this manipulative

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 4>way to be seen as someone who is smarter than

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 4>she really is, prettier than she really is, more social

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 4>than she really is. And Instagram provides a perfect platform

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 4>for that because as we've grown to use it, we

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 4>want to use it in the most, the easiest and

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 4>most validating way. Right, perhaps you really could be out

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 4>there having the most critical discussion, writing essays, connecting earnestly.

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>With your people.

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>But all you could just not or you could just

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 4>read memes and use it the thirst strap or whatever

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 4>you want to do. But this idea of like not

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 4>recognizing when you're doing that dopamine math, Like how much

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 4>of this will it take to feel good? How many

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 4>times do I need to scroll so it's enough? And

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I've scrolled enough? How many times do

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 4>I need to post and get a compliment before I

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 4>feel good about the app? And I feel like the

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 4>dopamine math is the secret path. The people are not clocking,

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 4>like the amount of time you need to use the

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 4>app to feel good. You've invested too much time on

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 4>the platform.

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 3>It's so, what's the antidote?

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Get off the apps makes you feel bad? You know

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I don't want to hear it because.

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 4>It's like, you know, at one point, maybe one compliment

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 4>from one friend would have been enough, but then you've

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 4>seen influences get five hundred compliments with five hundred friends.

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not enough for you.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 4>The whole thing feels like you need to invest way

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 4>more than you can get out of it.

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>So jump off it, classic kids, This is flex and

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>rooms on.

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Cater As we always say when we have a guest

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 3>in the show, we don't often bring guests in.

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I reckon, we've had ten guests. No, that's too many,

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>seven seven.

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Guests across twelve months of doing this show. However, when

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 3>we encounter excellence, it must be shared with the broader public.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 3>Here at CATA a few weeks ago, or maybe it

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>was a few months it was the beginning of the

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Sydney Comedy Festival and I was invited to the Garlamp,

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 3>which is the beginning of the festival. They bring a

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 3>diverse range of comedians.

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>She's read the press, please you know.

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 3>And there was one comedian that I saw who was

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 3>hands down the funniest comedian I have seen at.

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Least all years.

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.319
<v Speaker 3>I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 3>like looking at my friend trying not to scram I

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 3>can't feel like you're the funny And in a very

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 3>very exciting turn of events, we have her in the studio.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 5>It is Ho Huang and how I am pretty single,

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm in my thirties and very horny for love.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>And visa sponsorship.

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 3>We're very excited to have you on the show.

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome.

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh hi, thank you guys, thank you for having me.

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Super excited.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Tell us about your experience with the Gala. Have you

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.719
<v Speaker 3>done a gala at Sydney before? Is your first time?

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Give us a bit of history on you.

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Please, Yeah, it's my first time doing the Gala with

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 2>the Comedy Festival here in Sydney, so it was very

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>cool to experience that. I think on the lineup, I'm

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the probably least experience. All of them have a more

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>than a decade of experience, like ten years and stuff.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 2>It must impact Yeah, maybe because I'm new, like my

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 2>face is new to general public. And also I have

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>such a strong opinion Yeah, which about myself about everyone else?

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Your show was called bad Bitch Perfect. How do you

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 3>describe it?

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>It is so funny because like my first is funny.

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, the name is funny. Yeah, because like when

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I first thought about the show, how to name my

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>first solo. Originally, I have so many names with it,

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>so like boils down to tough cookie. So when I

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 2>get my tattoo, I have a tattoo on a very

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 2>private part of my body.

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>As friends, do you really I do? If we tell

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you where friends of tattoos, we tell us what yours is?

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, cool, Okay, So my tattoo picture my ass right

0:10:59.400 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 3>in mind.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, I have never seen it moderately size

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 4>you could like you could gather, you could.

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Gather flat generic white girls.

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>The crack is quite.

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 4>Low, so low, long back, long back, very long back,

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 4>great shape. And then as we kind of imagine the bump,

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 4>cleavage and it's dipping into crack if you spread cheeks slightly. Okay,

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 4>just at the very apex of crack is a little tiny.

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Tattoo of an alien.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>An outline, not detailed line.

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 3>It's it's an emoji style alien, really like delicate, refined.

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 3>It's really done.

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>My tattoo is not really adventurous. That that's yours, just

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 2>meaning between my boobs, there's a weed, not weed, there's

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.839
<v Speaker 2>a tree butt like a small tree.

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is a small tree.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 4>Both crease, yeah, both creasy jab That amazing. I feel

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 4>closer to you already.

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So when my tattoo artist did it and he said,

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.719
<v Speaker 2>you don't worr about it because like it hurts right,

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like a very tender part of your body. And

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.599
<v Speaker 2>then they were like, oh no, no, don't worry about it.

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I think you're a tough cookie. You can handle it.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 2>So I just like that phrase just leave with me.

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I wasn't gonna name my first

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 2>show as tough Cookie, but I went to Australian Got

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Talent and then the clip went viral and they will

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 2>travel back to China. I guess so much like hate

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>comments on the like specific jokes, and I was like,

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be bad bitch. So when I told my

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>best friend here and I was like, that's the right tato.

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 3>It fits you more.

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Tough cookie always thinks nah, and you're not tough. You

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 2>just so bad.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like self self value it. Yeah, yeah, I was cool.

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, name it?

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I heard you actually won an award? What was it?

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I so a lot?

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Best newcomer?

<v Speaker 1>Can I get around with clause in the studio? Please?

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, thank you, super honored, incredible, incredible. Now we

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 3>love to play a little game here. Was never gimmicky,

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 3>always just to get to know our favorite guests. You

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 3>make a lot of self depreating jokes about race, and

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 3>we'd love for you to let loose on some weird

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 3>things that Australians do.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>You fill it out. What are you noticing about Australians.

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>That's just like.

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 2>The first stuff I feel it's really hard to understand

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 2>is English here. It's just mind blowing now for me

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>to know there so many dialects, and also the way

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.559
<v Speaker 2>to pronounce stuff is different. Even I have accent too.

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>So when I first move here and I don't understand anything,

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:45.719
<v Speaker 2>I said.

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>So movies quickly, it's quick, particularly propily, and.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I realized when I first move I was Melbourne. Yeah,

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 2>when I landed, I was asking to take a cab

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and then the staff in airport are trying to explain

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 2>to me how to do it, and I just couldn't

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>understand because he was speaking. Now I think back is

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 2>that he was speaking proper standard Australian English and in

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 2>my ear just not used to it. So I was like,

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>can you paraphrase.

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 4>It slow down or speed up or make it simpler? Yeah,

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 4>but I'll just figure out what I can grab.

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, can you just like repeat against I think he

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 2>repeats so many times some of the regional areas they

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 2>are speaking really like Bogan kind of Australian English. It's

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>very fun to hear that.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 3>But I don't understand.

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>So most of Australia. I can understand. Now in Australia,

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you like to cuss a lot, like you know, the

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>sea word, and I would never yeah, and not like

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>in a bad way. Very fun to see how such

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 2>an aggressive word to be used in a very fun way.

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And I will say with the sea word, I

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 3>feel like ten years ago and new this is an

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 3>age for me, for example, But ten years ago it

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 3>felt way more coarse. But I swear the sea word

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 3>has become like more of an adjective than anything nowadays. Yeah,

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I used.

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 1>To even five yearsgo.

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't even drop it. Like I met someone you

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.359
<v Speaker 3>the other day. Oh, and I said it like in

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 3>a new persons setting. I was like, wait, we haven't

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 3>had that discussion if that is appropriate, because for some

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 3>people that's like a massive no no.

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>In hindsight, I do say the F word quite a bit. Yeah,

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>but you could not also, I could not.

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Surprises me. Do you swear now more? Oh?

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't really swear that much like the sea

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>word because it's just f I always see that for.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 4>It flavors the sentence were being enthusiastic. We can add

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 4>a little something.

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 3>So the set that went viral in China and you've

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 3>got a lot of like blowback on it, why were

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 3>people criticizing you?

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand. Yeah, I don't know.

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I think feedback did not land. Yeah, I think mostly.

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Just like if you're female comedians, especially in China, I

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 2>think the idea about female image this telly. They have

0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 2>specific sets like oh, you need to be pretty tall, skinny,

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 2>and you need to present like China is a good image.

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>So if you take my set word by word, it's

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily funny. If you translate into Chinese, the setting

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>is different. It's comedy, right, so it has to know

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of nuance and context to understand it. So

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 2>whoever did it? I mean the first hate was like

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>screenshot my set and then translate word by word and

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 2>the people just don't get it. They were like they

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>call it like disgrace to my culture and my family.

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>They try to hate me, but then doesn't really get me.

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, more of that's how we should be all the time.

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Tell us, where can we find you reckon. Everybody get

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 3>involved in your universe.

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I have social media presence Instagram. I use it a

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>lot h E A h u a ng like my

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 2>first name and last name and that's it. That's the handle.

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Ohgeous. Well, thank you coming.

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you have any shows coming up that we can

0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 3>watch or we just need to follow the social media.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I just followed the social media I can and hopefully yeah,

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 2>you'll see me one day and an hour on YouTube. Yes,

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 2>someone else.

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for coming on.

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 4>Got a question for you through me? Answer it honestly?

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 4>Would you fake your own death for what reason? For

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:17.679
<v Speaker 4>any reason?

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Just yes or no? Yep? No, you know what.

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 3>I'd want to see if people feel a certain way

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 3>about me, But how would you most well, because I'd

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 3>actually be alive. It's a fake.

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But the risk cause what if they start like

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 4>tell rejoice or they tell like the registry of birth

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 4>and death and now you're really alive, but then you've

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 4>been marked his death?

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>How do you become alive again on paper?

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.119
<v Speaker 3>I guess you don't. I mean, does that mean you

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 3>could travel into state or like.

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so you need a passport far anyway?

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 4>A Belgian TikToker fully faked his own death after feeling

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 4>unappreciated by his extended family and his friends, fully made

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 4>a funeral on everything just to see what they would

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 4>do or say. It was a pranking collaboration with his

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 4>wife and his children, which is I family friendly fun

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 4>which I'm a big fan of, love the nuclear family.

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And basically he was just.

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 4>Feeling unappreciated and want to see if they really cared

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 4>and what they would say, and just to light to

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 4>fire up their bum to encourage them to really check

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 4>for him. Which look, we'll get into how we feel

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 4>about that in a second. Basically, he while waiting for

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 4>the funeral service to start, he flies in on a helicopter,

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 4>as dead people do. He jumps out of the helicopter.

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 4>He says, hooray, it's me paraphrasing. Of course, people rush

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 4>over to hug him. They can't be consoled, they're crying,

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 4>they can't believe their eyes.

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.120
<v Speaker 4>He claims that he wanted to and I quote, give

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 4>them a life lesson and show them that you shouldn't

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 4>wait until someone is dead to meet up with them.

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 4>What are our thoughts? As you said, it could have

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 4>backfired so much so, But realistically it's such an egocentric

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.720
<v Speaker 4>way to just say you need your people. Like let's

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 4>say if I me flex yes, fake my own death,

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 4>invited you to a funeral to be like, hey, why

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 4>don't you care about me? I think in theory you'd

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 4>be like, oh my god, I feel so sad the

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 4>length she had to go through to like feel like

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 4>she could reach out. But also, you fully hosted an

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 4>event like created budget like how to run cheet, You

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 4>had a playlist, you had a playlist, you took so

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.640
<v Speaker 4>many active steps away from the thing you really wanted.

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 4>You couldn't take those same active steps to reach out

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 4>to me. No, let's plan a fake funeral. Granted this

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 4>is just for content. I don't have to be yeah, yeah,

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think this was real, But I'm just like

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 4>I imagine, And I saw a fair few comments on

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 4>the viral video that people be like, this was just

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 4>backfire on me. This feels like the most self interested,

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 4>indulgent way.

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>They'd say this is why, yeah, this is why, this

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>say is.

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Why we don't check for you because you're annoying it.

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 4>And the cameras in the faces as people who are

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 4>experiencing real emotions thinking that their friend had just died.

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>He's like, wow, zero point panoramic with you. Crazy one,

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>crazy one, so silly. You've been listening to The Flex
