Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. It's
Speaker 2: lexing firms. Here is that podcast.
Speaker 3: More.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Flex and Frooms on Kata.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows if you listen to this radio show, that
Speaker 1: I have a water bottle that I take with me everywhere.
Speaker 1: Some would say it's become a minor personality trait, which
Speaker 1: is not a good sign for me as a person.
Speaker 3: Not a bad sign either. It can make far worse
Speaker 3: things their personality dogs. Yep, I'm having liking the weekend.
Speaker 1: Liking summer, yeah, spicy, liking sun, liking coffee. But I
Speaker 1: say this sort of say one of our listeners is
Speaker 1: concerned about my personal hygiene and the personal hygiene of
Speaker 1: my water bottle, and so they've sent in a video
Speaker 1: that we're going to play telling me how to clean it.
Speaker 2: Hit the tape, Mikayla.
Speaker 4: I have noticed that you guys have been talking a
Speaker 4: lot about cleaning water bottles, especially because of Rumi's multi
Speaker 4: crystal bottle correct and Flexi. You keep mentioning on the
Speaker 4: podcast that you think these straw mouthparts on bottles are
Speaker 4: impossible and clean. Yep, but actually I clean them in
Speaker 4: a really specific way, using a little pipe cleaner, the
Speaker 4: same ones you would use to clean any reusable straw.
Speaker 4: So using like warms of your water, I would just
Speaker 4: like put the pipe I've already kind of cleaned it
Speaker 4: before doing this video, and then the straw mouthbit, I
Speaker 4: would just kind of like clow water and then put
Speaker 4: the pipe cleaner.
Speaker 2: Through and just get like all bits and same on the.
Speaker 4: Other end, and just keep doing that until all the
Speaker 4: dunk is gone, and then you have yourself a clean,
Speaker 4: hygienic mouthpiece.
Speaker 3: Freems on board with that, I will say when I
Speaker 3: say these mouth things are impossible to clean, it is
Speaker 3: from personal experience. However, I feel quite certain that the
Speaker 3: pipe cleaner does work for general surface grime. But my
Speaker 3: thing is lip products. They kind of get stuck in there,
Speaker 3: leaves this kind of residue, the same thing that happens
Speaker 3: to tupperware, plastic tupperware. After you use pasta in it,
Speaker 3: it never quite goes back to what it was. Not
Speaker 3: that it's a huge concern, but I do know that
Speaker 3: FRIM is not doing it. Was just demonstrated. Well maybe
Speaker 3: you are, I don't know your story.
Speaker 2: Well, I've got something to share.
Speaker 1: Apparently, if you wash things with more water, it actually
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything. The water has to be piping hot.
Speaker 1: And how do I know that? Because gloves exist. In
Speaker 1: order for things to be cleaned properly, the water needs
Speaker 1: to be hot, not warm.
Speaker 3: Are you saying, either way that people who might perceive
Speaker 3: themselves not to be grubby because they're doing a good
Speaker 3: job at cleaning their water bottles could in fact be
Speaker 3: grubby because the water is not piping hot.
Speaker 1: I think I'm saying that, Okay, I think I want
Speaker 1: to gather more people for my community. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: Ree is one of mine. It's about her best effort.
Speaker 3: No, Ree is not one of yours. I wish she was.
Speaker 3: I wish she was, but she's not.
Speaker 2: I gotta say, though, how do you clean the pipe cleaner?
Speaker 3: Ooh?
Speaker 2: Because that payings got bristles?
Speaker 3: Rummy did get you there? Freeing got you there? Anything
Speaker 3: to remain a grubby girl. It's been a little while
Speaker 3: since we've talked about conspiracies broadly, but the celebrity cloning
Speaker 3: one in particular. People have suspicions that Beyonce is a
Speaker 3: clone or has been cloned Avril Levine, Gucci Mane, Criste West,
Speaker 3: Britney Spears. Billie Eilish has expressed using a body double.
Speaker 3: She's done so at concerts like Coachella. So she had
Speaker 3: placed her body double on top of a crane to
Speaker 3: draw eyes upward after her set so that she could
Speaker 3: go change her outfit and mingle around in the crowd. Look,
Speaker 3: it's madness.
Speaker 2: What she's just hanging out in the crane for the
Speaker 2: whole rest of the day.
Speaker 3: A kind of it was like whoa, like this is
Speaker 3: the production is wild? What's Billy doing up there? And
Speaker 3: everyone's like whoh And from that vantage point, how can
Speaker 3: you really why would you assume it's not her? So
Speaker 3: this video came up with this wrapper called kid bood
Speaker 3: not really sure if you're familiar who people really aren't.
Speaker 3: But secondary to the fact that he expresses that he
Speaker 3: has a clone and has gone through a cloning process
Speaker 3: and talks about it quite seriously, like he's definitely not
Speaker 3: taking the piers. Let's listen to this.
Speaker 4: Originally my first gen, I'm a second gen. Now that's
Speaker 4: why you see the celebrity births say I'm born in Toronto,
Speaker 4: But that's false.
Speaker 3: My first gen was born in Jersey.
Speaker 4: However, I was cloned by Cloneate in Canada.
Speaker 3: Now Cloneate is a real company. They were responsible for
Speaker 3: making the first cloned baby called Eve, and this was
Speaker 3: years ago. People are still trying to figure out where
Speaker 3: is Eve, does Eve exist? Is she alive? And the
Speaker 3: woman who did so, I'm pretty sure she's in jail
Speaker 3: or at least in trouble. Look, I don't really care
Speaker 3: too much about it. Kid Boo, the man you just
Speaker 3: heard speaking, went on live Instagram Live and introduced us
Speaker 3: to his clone, and what you see in the frame
Speaker 3: is him and his clone sitting on either side of
Speaker 3: a couch. People speculated that it was like a split
Speaker 3: screen or like some kind of editing technique, but others say,
Speaker 3: you can't split screen on live, but as we know
Speaker 3: working in broadcast media, you can really fake live. Generally,
Speaker 3: this led me to go down a cloning rabbit hole,
Speaker 3: and somebody made this video talking about how they're so
Speaker 3: sure that Kanye is a clone because one of the
Speaker 3: key signs of celebrities going through a cloning process, or
Speaker 3: you interacting with the first gen of a cloned celebrity,
Speaker 3: is that they always dye their hair platinum blonde. Recently
Speaker 3: has recently started donning platinum blonde hair none other no me, me, babe, me,
Speaker 3: How did this go over Frooms's head? She's looking so shocked,
Speaker 3: looking around the room, being.
Speaker 2: Like, who who is it? I'm so confused.
Speaker 3: I don't know. So I do want to come in
Speaker 3: here and speak my truth, because yeah, I figure it
Speaker 3: to be a better time than any How do we
Speaker 3: not know that I am a clone? When we're not
Speaker 3: sure you are the problem?
Speaker 2: You flexing frames on Cat. You're listening to flex and
Speaker 2: Frooms on Cat.
Speaker 3: I don't mean to be a hater today, or do I?
Speaker 3: But we're talking about quiet luxury. The thing about the
Speaker 3: Internet sometimes words just take off in a way that
Speaker 3: absolves it from meeting meaning, like boundaries, gas lighting, manipulation,
Speaker 3: situation should.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a gas lighter thing to say.
Speaker 3: What does that even mean? What does it even mean?
Speaker 3: The newest one is quiet luxury.
Speaker 1: Oldie, weldy money looking classy, yes, dressing down, but high.
Speaker 3: End, stealth wealth, rich girl vibes, old money, et cetera,
Speaker 3: et cetera. One might say this has happened in conjunction
Speaker 3: with the rise of Sophia Richie Grange, but realistically, It's
Speaker 3: happened way before, whether people talking about capsule wardrobes or
Speaker 3: scared luxury, or however you want to call it. The
Speaker 3: frustrating thing about quite luxury is that it's an obvious
Speaker 3: and intentional tool that people use to display or to
Speaker 3: appear like they are wealthy. Right, we all know what
Speaker 3: things we can wear to signal that we've got coins.
Speaker 3: The irony is it's fellow people without coins telling other
Speaker 3: people without coins how to appear wealthy. I don't want
Speaker 3: to say the calls come from inside the house, but
Speaker 3: it's just like it's such a counterintuitive approach to all
Speaker 3: of it, to dressing, to like decorating your body, whatever
Speaker 3: it might be. Here's the thing. Telling a bunch of
Speaker 3: people that they need to go and buy something expensive
Speaker 3: to appear as though they are from money is a
Speaker 3: waste of time. Your merit will not get you this
Speaker 3: thing that you need. It's another thing to tell people
Speaker 3: dressed in a way that makes you appear cleaner or
Speaker 3: more put together. And the thing that's really getting me
Speaker 3: is that the reference pictures they're using, it's kind of
Speaker 3: like you showing the world pictures of me in only
Speaker 3: blazes and saying, hey, this is the new money aesthetic,
Speaker 3: and then you see me today you're kind of like, well,
Speaker 3: wait where did the money go? In the same way,
Speaker 3: when they show pictures of Sophia Richie Grange, they fail
Speaker 3: to show all the pictures of her wearing top to
Speaker 3: toe Chanelle logo, bright pink jumpsuits, like she hasn't done
Speaker 3: that literally last week, Like the do your sunglasses? Don't
Speaker 3: say do you're on them?
Speaker 1: You know what I find interesting about this is it
Speaker 1: there's all this chat, especially in the last like five years,
Speaker 1: people have become understanding of things like systemic racism, classism,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah and blah. I want to know more
Speaker 1: about what you mean about the timing?
Speaker 2: Do you mean about GFC cost of living?
Speaker 3: We're going into recession, Like, this is not the time
Speaker 3: to play like you have it when you don't have it.
Speaker 3: Encouraging people to go into forms of debt to appear
Speaker 3: like they've got money is like, what's this for? What
Speaker 3: are you assuming it's going to do for you? Too
Speaker 3: much talking on the not enough working backwards.
Speaker 2: Not enough working flex and films.
Speaker 3: I'm Keida.
Speaker 2: I saw an article on Facebook flexi.
Speaker 3: It was okay, millennial.
Speaker 2: You know what, there's nothing I'm sick of you using millennials.
Speaker 3: If it's a if that's how you're taking it, oh please,
Speaker 3: then that's how it's meant.
Speaker 2: In the words of gen Z, I'm being gas lit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I saw this article and it was brig was
Speaker 1: on Sydney Morning Herald and it was Camilla Framan Topper
Speaker 1: talking about her relationship with men, and the title is
Speaker 1: Age Everybody note please the Cinney Morning Held is the
Speaker 1: same as the Age anyway. The title of the piece
Speaker 1: was I Am more of a boy's girl than a
Speaker 1: girl's girl, Camilla Freeman Topper. In the article, Camilla is
Speaker 1: talking about her relationships and she says that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of influential men in her life. I've always had
Speaker 1: a lot of male friends.
Speaker 2: I am more of a boy's girl than a girl's girl.
Speaker 1: I've always loved a man's opinion too. Through my experience,
Speaker 1: men are less emotional and often more sensible in our look.
Speaker 1: That's her opinion. But I went onto the comments on it.
Speaker 1: Fe Obviously I knew that this.
Speaker 3: Headline was inflammas bumping and pumping.
Speaker 2: Let's say there's more women on Earth than men. I
Speaker 2: don't want to see what they've got to say.
Speaker 3: What is there more women on earth?
Speaker 2: The women?
Speaker 3: That's not good.
Speaker 2: That's not good. It's giving men of the minority. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's the real real.
Speaker 3: You have to adjust our language to accommodate for those stats. Okay,
Speaker 3: something to work on fast.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Here's one comment interesting to read Kmilla's experience. Having spent
Speaker 1: most of her life with smart and good men as
Speaker 1: her closest family, her comments are understandable.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. So that comment was quite interesting to read.
Speaker 1: But there's actually something way more interesting I find at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the comment, and that is hashtag I
Speaker 1: am here Australia. This person finished their comment with hashtag
Speaker 1: I'm here Australia. I haven't seen hashtags use the way
Speaker 1: that Zuckerberg intended or the Internet intended for a long time,
Speaker 1: so I googled what is I'm here Australia. Turns out
Speaker 1: I Am here is a social movement that has gathered
Speaker 1: speed all around the Internet.
Speaker 2: It was first founder.
Speaker 1: It's just Facebook because yeah, it does say mainly Facebook,
Speaker 1: but I am here social movement on Wikipedia. Apparently, it
Speaker 1: is a social movement that uses counter speech to counter
Speaker 1: hate speech and misinformation on social media, mainly Facebook. Tell
Speaker 1: me why, yet again the people have to take it
Speaker 1: into their own hands. Yeah, we had Encyclopedia Britannica undermining democracy.
Speaker 1: Now what do we have Average Joe blows the common
Speaker 1: folk having to use this hashtag getting me to go
Speaker 1: on to Wikipedia hashtag I am here India hashtag jagonha
Speaker 1: that's the Facebook Swedish equivalent. It started in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: And ha yaganha Are you yeah? Is that how you
Speaker 1: say jagerbomb?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3: I still don't understand what I'm here Australia means.
Speaker 2: The movement, which is described as a civil courage movement.
Speaker 3: Aren't they all.
Speaker 2: Some move I mean men's rights movement, civil courage facts.
Speaker 2: It welcomes Sometimes people think I'm serious.
Speaker 3: It's always we when you're doing something. Unh wee wee
Speaker 3: wee wee weed. If people think where nobody has any
Speaker 3: thoughts about me? Right now? Please leave me out of it.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, jackie. Oh.
Speaker 1: It welcomes diverse views and strives to promote democracy and
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. It's a social activist movement. Members of
Speaker 1: the individual groups are invited to find articles on social media,
Speaker 1: and moderators scan news articles and their comment threads. When
Speaker 1: dangerous speech, hates speech, or misinformation is posted, the item
Speaker 1: is posted in the group. Members may choose to comment
Speaker 1: on them in a way that is respectful by countering
Speaker 1: the hate or misinformation.
Speaker 3: So what that means is this article or this post
Speaker 3: must have been shared in the I'm here Australia group
Speaker 3: and they've said, please go and add some nuance to
Speaker 3: this comment sect because people aren't understanding what's being expressed.
Speaker 1: It looks like it cool. Yeah, it's interesting. Facebook groups
Speaker 1: are like a labyrinth. They're like Freemason societies working underground
Speaker 1: and for what costs, for what benefit? I'm just here
Speaker 1: trying to find a king furniture Jasper couch number thirteen
Speaker 1: and dark gray with light timber shelves.
Speaker 3: You want dark gray.
