Speaker 2: Listen here, folks, listening, I am looking around my studio.
Speaker 3: There's a makeup brush on the floor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did document that.
Speaker 2: So makeup brush on my side table. There is a
Speaker 2: plate with shit on it. There's a coconut sugar, there's
Speaker 2: my two hundred dollars Colleen Strata water bottle. And there's
Speaker 2: two other people in the studio, Josh and Brook. And
Speaker 2: of course there's you, the rabbid bush pig, sitting across
Speaker 2: from me. Really making me quite sick actually, just witnessing
Speaker 2: you behaving like a bush pig yourself.
Speaker 4: Who's gonna believe that.
Speaker 3: Flex is currently sitting She's got shit on her feet.
Speaker 4: Her feet are.
Speaker 2: Really dirty, and there's stuff in between the toes, and
Speaker 2: the toenails are a raggedy because she's been beat biting them.
Speaker 2: Do you ever know anyone in Premiers with that bit
Speaker 2: their toenails?
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: My neighbors did. Really, I've got a good story about
Speaker 2: them coming up in a few weeks.
Speaker 5: Do you know what I was seeing the other day?
Speaker 5: My neighbor, He was like a little kid. Maybe I
Speaker 5: don't know. When I was in high school. He was
Speaker 5: in primary school, like a little feral year threer, That's
Speaker 5: how I remember him. And he used to go there
Speaker 5: after school to his grandma's house. His grandma was like
Speaker 5: our grandma. We shared a grandma.
Speaker 4: It was amazing.
Speaker 5: But one day he came over and he picked up
Speaker 5: a snail and he took the sluggy bit out of
Speaker 5: the shell and he ate it. And it was seriooked
Speaker 5: because I just saw a video the other day of
Speaker 5: how it's really bad to eat slugs and snails, and
Speaker 5: I saw this guy eat a slug and now he's paralyzed.
Speaker 4: Yes, So I'm like, what happened to that kid?
Speaker 3: You die when you eat?
Speaker 4: Because honestly, that's my last memory of him.
Speaker 2: So I couldn't go on I'm a celebrity, Get me
Speaker 2: out of here Number one.
Speaker 3: Not quite at the celebrity status needed to go on
Speaker 3: the show. That's right, number two actually, and I was
Speaker 3: watching it last I was watching.
Speaker 2: Ready Runs in my housemate last night and we're like,
Speaker 2: she's super outdoors and like really fit, loves going for
Speaker 2: runs every day. I could not come on that show.
Speaker 2: It's my worst night. May I thought I'd love it.
Speaker 2: Just couldn't eat eyeballs, but everything else.
Speaker 5: Testical shake, We'll put it out there. Everyone's always there,
Speaker 5: are ops everywhere.
Speaker 2: Someone's always waiting to get your next job.
Speaker 3: To get me out of here. Maybe in two years,
Speaker 3: give me a few more gigs on my belt. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 3: I don't even know its.
Speaker 6: Far.
Speaker 3: Send us some more am other assholes, all.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, just dilemmas always or just some you know what,
Speaker 5: I would love to hear gossip. If you have any
Speaker 5: gossip that is like low risk for us to know,
Speaker 5: but high risk for you to share.
Speaker 1: Bring that in flex and frooms.
Speaker 5: It is impulsive tattoo season. I did warn you last week.
Speaker 5: I feel like people thought I was taking the piss,
Speaker 5: maybe doing a little bit one thing about me.
Speaker 4: I don't joke. People might laugh when I speak. I
Speaker 4: never joke.
Speaker 2: It's a bit scary that which bit you say things
Speaker 2: and I'm cracking up, but I'm thinking, wait, h is
Speaker 2: this meant to be funny?
Speaker 5: No, I'm I mean yeah, but also never a joke.
Speaker 5: What's that saying? I might tell a joke, but I
Speaker 5: never lie.
Speaker 4: Oh do you know what I'm saying? So like we
Speaker 4: can all laugh. But I meant it anyway.
Speaker 5: So last week I said that it's impulsive tattoo season,
Speaker 5: and between last week and this week, I mean, in
Speaker 5: the last fortnite, three new tattoos.
Speaker 4: You might say, why so many all at once.
Speaker 5: It's strategic because in the summertime, I want to have
Speaker 5: my arms out, you know, arms out, limbs out. I
Speaker 5: want sunshine on my skin. If my tattoos are not
Speaker 5: healed by then, I can't be in the pool. I
Speaker 5: can't be at the beach. I can't be in the sunshine,
Speaker 5: you know. And I want to be decorated for summer time.
Speaker 5: I feel it's gonna be really good summer. I really
Speaker 5: feel at my bones. So I uploaded some videos of
Speaker 5: me getting my tattoo done, and I was met with
Speaker 5: people trying to school me on tattoo etiquette joking. The
Speaker 5: thing is, when I post up to get a tattoo,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be there, jed. First of all, I'm friends
Speaker 5: with my tattoos, so that's a different dynamic. Number one,
Speaker 5: get you one, okay? Number two If on me post
Speaker 5: it up for three four hours, huh, what do you
Speaker 5: think I'm doing?
Speaker 4: Stuff?
Speaker 5: I might watch something, listen to something type an email
Speaker 5: or whatever, and my tattoos went out of his way.
Speaker 5: It's like a little station for me so I can
Speaker 5: do just that.
Speaker 4: Why are people like, oh, you know, you're getting in
Speaker 4: his way? He can't work. You think he can't say?
Speaker 3: People are just randomly damning you literally, Oh.
Speaker 5: People, And I'm going scrolling on profiles. Where are your tattoos?
Speaker 5: Some of us have thirty five? Where are yours?
Speaker 4: Are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: That must make it really hard for him.
Speaker 3: Why do people talk?
Speaker 4: Why do people talk? But why are people it's why
Speaker 4: do people talk? Number one? Why people assume the worst?
Speaker 4: Number two?
Speaker 5: What makes you think that he didn't set this up
Speaker 5: proactively and say, hey, I already know you're gonna want
Speaker 5: to do something, so I've practically sepustation so it doesn't
Speaker 5: bother me, right.
Speaker 4: Number two?
Speaker 5: People asking me what tattoos mean, it's not for you.
Speaker 5: It's like asking someone how their holiday was. You know
Speaker 5: how we feel about this? Zip it with responct, vibe
Speaker 5: it out, you know, feel what you feel. Because the
Speaker 5: thing is telling someone what a tattoo means encourages more questions.
Speaker 5: I don't have answers to or the answers become too complex?
Speaker 5: Why you got merried on your shoulder?
Speaker 4: Babes? Have you seen you people? I'm scared.
Speaker 3: And it's spiritual protection on your back.
Speaker 4: Literally, she's right there waiting, waiting. Okay, why did you
Speaker 4: get the cherub? Babe?
Speaker 5: Have you seen how scary life is? Pain and suffering?
Speaker 5: I want a bit of love. Why do you get
Speaker 5: a dragon?
Speaker 1: Is it not obvious.
Speaker 4: Anyway?
Speaker 3: Are you gonna get the whole rig? Done?
Speaker 4: Whole rig?
Speaker 5: But I have to go and order. So here was
Speaker 5: my strategy with the tattooes. Started with the thighs because
Speaker 5: I needed to assess what my pain tolerance was in
Speaker 5: my head. I'm five foot ten, can't handle pain. In
Speaker 5: real reality, I might be five to seven, can handle
Speaker 5: a lot of pain. Actually, So started with my thighs.
Speaker 5: Just se get a vibe for.
Speaker 4: Like what the star was, what the flavor is?
Speaker 5: Get a few ones like you know, I didn't find
Speaker 5: an artist, I didn't know where I wanted to go,
Speaker 5: go to a different.
Speaker 4: Country, get a tattoo.
Speaker 5: Whatever kind of filed it up, you know, And you
Speaker 5: spend all this money get getting tattoos. You know where
Speaker 5: short things no one can see them. Then I'm like,
Speaker 5: let me move to the arms. No, I did stomach
Speaker 5: next hot, No, actually no I did arms. I did arms,
Speaker 5: and then I was like, okay, cool. But now I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm over identifying with the arms, and like it's a
Speaker 5: bit weird to have like one little rogue tattoo on
Speaker 5: an arm. It's like, do you even get tattooes or
Speaker 5: do do you not? Then I said stomach because I
Speaker 5: want to be rigged out right midriff out. Stomach was easy.
Speaker 5: I said, back to the arms. I'm pushing thirty. You know,
Speaker 5: I can make some mistakes. So we're gonna do the arms.
Speaker 5: Get the arms all done, then we're gonna do back
Speaker 5: to stomach, back neck.
Speaker 4: When the neck tatty pulls through, Wow, this game over.
Speaker 3: That's gonna look immaculate.
Speaker 2: Literally, A don't think about the neck and the chest
Speaker 2: with a little with a little open blazer a sexual.
Speaker 2: I just actually disassociated as you were speaking because I
Speaker 2: was imagining how nice it would feel to get someone
Speaker 2: to touch my back. Yeah, even if with a tattooga.
Speaker 4: Even with if I like that, I'll touch you more.
Speaker 4: Physical touch is good.
Speaker 2: Please flex and frooms, Hello mon Cherry's and little tiny
Speaker 2: freaks running through the forest. It's flexing frooms here and
Speaker 2: I haven't am I the asshole sent through by a
Speaker 2: woman called Tessa.
Speaker 3: That's a made up name. She follows Cassada flex I
Speaker 3: can see.
Speaker 2: Per Let's all go to Hobart. Everyone google that if
Speaker 2: you don't know what we're talking about. She goes, Hey, frooms,
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you could please let me know where
Speaker 2: I can send an am I the arsehole for flexing frooms? Right?
Speaker 3: I said, right here?
Speaker 4: Bubbs?
Speaker 2: She goes, yeah, okay, so bit of context. I met
Speaker 2: my housemate through a mutual friend always a mistake.
Speaker 4: Really yeah, whoa.
Speaker 2: We became friends and moved into a small apartment. Recently
Speaker 2: he had some mates of a fi drinks at our place,
Speaker 2: which I said that was all good. It ended up
Speaker 2: being an absolute ragar and music and yelling until about
Speaker 2: twelve am, and then him and a chick stumbling home,
Speaker 2: cooking food in our kitchen and just generally being inconsiderate.
Speaker 2: At about five am, I had to get up and
Speaker 2: ask them to be quiet, which I hate doing. The
Speaker 2: next day I had planned to study, but was struggling
Speaker 2: because of the lack of sleep. My queen anyways, found
Speaker 2: out later that he did know that I was pissed
Speaker 2: off with what the quiet pres escalated to, but he
Speaker 2: hasn't said sorry once and actually complained to the mutual
Speaker 2: friend that I was upset about the noise, wanting to
Speaker 2: know if I'm the asshole for being upset with a
Speaker 2: loud music and five am wake up. Keep in mind,
Speaker 2: I'm a party girl myself, and I get that things
Speaker 2: get out of hand, but a simple sorry.
Speaker 3: It would have gone a long way.
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time, which I have replied, Oh okay,
Speaker 2: I reply, I said you had.
Speaker 3: Me at cooking food in the kitchen.
Speaker 4: This is amazing.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you when it's going to.
Speaker 1: Go on the podcast.
Speaker 4: Just walk up hill.
Speaker 3: Thank you, queen, to which she replied a bit of
Speaker 3: a back and forth.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm glad you enjoy If you want some more context.
Speaker 6: The cooking food involved repeatedly trying to put chips in
Speaker 6: my air fryer that they actually broke at the preeze. So,
Speaker 6: I don't know if you're familiar with the noise and
Speaker 6: air fry makes when you open and shut, but it's
Speaker 6: like metal clanking together.
Speaker 2: I'm familiar, all right, flexie initial thoughts I wow, wow
Speaker 2: wow wow wow wow thoughts.
Speaker 3: Don't she made it so it sounds like wild fots?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, wow, Okay, say no more.
Speaker 5: And then I was an Okay, the word wasn't coming,
Speaker 5: so we're gonna let it go. I love hearing about
Speaker 5: interpersonal into habitattual the lemons because in my head, I
Speaker 5: always I always think two things. Number One, it is
Speaker 5: what it is. You're two strangers in the house. It's
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen. But the other part of is like,
Speaker 5: you're two strangers in a house. Where's the common courtesy?
Speaker 5: You know, where's the mutual respect? Because that's the other
Speaker 5: thing what's happening here. There is a lack of respect
Speaker 5: that is so obvious because realistically, if you respected the
Speaker 5: person who was sleeping up so you'd be like, oh,
Speaker 5: you know what, let's move it to someone else's house.
Speaker 5: It's getting rowdy, let's go out, like my housemates sleepy.
Speaker 5: Not only did you make the noise, you've broken the oven.
Speaker 5: You haven't said sorry. This person fundamentally does not care,
Speaker 5: which is like a hard pill to swallow sometimes when
Speaker 5: it's really personal to you, but they don't care.
Speaker 4: And they will do it again.
Speaker 2: God, it's just it's so hard. I think the term
Speaker 2: respect is so loaded. Like I've never said to someone
Speaker 2: you don't respect me because of the White House. See,
Speaker 2: it feels crazy when you think about it. It's hard
Speaker 2: to listen. It's a hard pill to swallow to hear
Speaker 2: someone say that you don't respect them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because because can we quickly read the definition of
Speaker 5: respects everyone's on the same page. It's a feeling of
Speaker 5: deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their ability,
Speaker 5: is qualities or achievements, or a deep respect of something
Speaker 5: due to the regard for the feelings.
Speaker 4: Wishes, or rights of others.
Speaker 5: Due to regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others,
Speaker 5: Please continue for me.
Speaker 2: That makes me actually not care for respect, because we're
Speaker 2: all humans. That's all I've got to say about that.
Speaker 2: Listen the air fryer, the clinking and the clanking of
Speaker 2: the air fraer. I'm just imagine they'm not being able
Speaker 2: to put it in yet, going giggity jaggedly, like when
Speaker 2: you're trying to put.
Speaker 3: The drawer get back in when it's fallen out.
Speaker 5: Very frustrating, frustrating and it's because not your air fryer, babe.
Speaker 5: So why are you clinking clanking my air fryer? Please
Speaker 5: get the uber eats, knock it off. Come on now,
Speaker 5: get your car. Okay, go to McDonald's. And the thing
Speaker 5: that gets me the person messaging in is a fellow
Speaker 5: party person, so she gets it. She's like, I understand.
Speaker 5: I too want to get near it, babe, I too
Speaker 5: want to be at this preeze. I want to be enjoying.
Speaker 5: I don't want to inhibit the enjoyment. Even worse, because
Speaker 5: party people don't get upset like that. Part of people
Speaker 5: respect the party, So if it's clearly hitting the spot.
Speaker 5: It's tricky though, because I feel like if you had
Speaker 5: to have a big chat every time someone has a
Speaker 5: potentially minor, minor ish, maybe slightly major transgression in a
Speaker 5: housemate dynamic, I feel like every day you're doing a
Speaker 5: big chat.
Speaker 4: Hey, you know you didn't change the toilet paper, you
Speaker 4: left the Yeah, you look your battle all there.
Speaker 5: Oh you know, like you got out of the shower
Speaker 5: and the floor is all wet, Like.
Speaker 4: You're constantly having to do.
Speaker 5: There's something about living people who are compatible with you,
Speaker 5: But it's too late now you sadly.
Speaker 2: Least, I think there is a middle ground. I think
Speaker 2: it would have been okay if he stayed up till
Speaker 2: twelve oh, or it would have been okay if he
Speaker 2: came in at five, But doing both is unacceptable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we're here now. The fact of the matter
Speaker 5: is it's done. The air fry is broken. There's been
Speaker 5: no story. How does she continue?
Speaker 2: Think you gotta cut the leasis, jump into the pool,
Speaker 2: jump into the rental crisis. It's better where you're at now.
Speaker 5: My favorite thing to do when you want to have
Speaker 5: a confrontation but you don't want to be the confrontational
Speaker 5: one is just to ask people to explain themselves. Hey,
Speaker 5: what was that with the other night?
Speaker 4: Like what went on?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm so sorry about that, you know, like just
Speaker 5: trying to put in the air fryer.
Speaker 4: Oh is it all right? But like the FRI's fine. Ah, no,
Speaker 4: it is broken, that's all good. Are you gonna get in?
Speaker 4: You're getting a new one? Right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely
Speaker 4: get them.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, we'll use that technique always learning always.
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms on KEDA.
Speaker 2: So Foxy, I am entering my shopping era. Are you
Speaker 2: well I just I was doing this thing that day
Speaker 2: which required me to wear a dress. Okay, and I
Speaker 2: had to wear a dress to film something. I didn't
Speaker 2: have a single dress that I liked all that fit me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's disappointing, very upsetting, very I had a tantrum the
Speaker 2: day before the day that I had to wear it.
Speaker 4: What does that look like for you?
Speaker 2: Well, I had to work it to a meeting at
Speaker 2: nine am, and I went to no. I went to
Speaker 2: my housemates. My house May has this one dress from
Speaker 2: Glassons from five years ago. The cut is unmatched. It's
Speaker 2: the best dress you've ever seen. Looks amazing on everyone.
Speaker 2: I was like, I need to wear this dress of
Speaker 2: the meeting.
Speaker 5: I'm fascinated by how frequently you borrow your housemates things.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're sisters.
Speaker 4: Yeah I should borrow your things.
Speaker 2: Rummaging through my closet, I was gonna wear this out
Speaker 2: the other day. She comes out wearing my appro's dress
Speaker 2: with the same print.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to have to change.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to.
Speaker 3: Say anything anyway.
Speaker 2: I'm looking for the dress, can't find it. Realized that
Speaker 2: our other friend had borrowed it on the weekend. So
Speaker 2: I start calling her frantically. I'm calling her twin brother.
Speaker 2: I went to her house out the front and I
Speaker 2: waited for some to come out and bring it to me,
Speaker 2: not washed, just so I could wear it to this meeting. Well,
Speaker 2: and that's when I thought. I came home and my
Speaker 2: housemates said, look, you've got a problem. What is the problem.
Speaker 2: I need you to go out tomorrow to the city
Speaker 2: in Sydney and buy some new clothes, buy some dresses.
Speaker 2: She said, we can't have that happen again. And I thought, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's fair enough.
Speaker 4: That's good. She called you in, my queen.
Speaker 2: So I went and I went to a certain area
Speaker 2: in Sydney. Call it out, No, I won't you sure? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: you'll know if you know. Okay, it's a high end boutique.
Speaker 2: You catered to a certain type of woman.
Speaker 4: Okay, we need more specifics.
Speaker 3: Size is six through ten, ten for the bigger girl.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, bit queens Queen, I understood.
Speaker 2: And I walked in and I had not been in
Speaker 2: there four or five years because I don't typically buy
Speaker 2: new clothes, particularly ones that cost like three hundred dollars
Speaker 2: for a top. So I went in and I went
Speaker 2: in because there was this dress in the window that
Speaker 2: was hot pink, Italian mesh, slinky dress with a little gathering.
Speaker 2: You know you once did that, that TikTok of you
Speaker 2: gathering a skirt together to change the way it looks.
Speaker 3: It looked like that.
Speaker 2: But a dress form fan to hot pink. This was
Speaker 2: me all over. I thought, I have to try that.
Speaker 2: Do you went tried it on? I was like, I
Speaker 2: feel sexy, Go.
Speaker 3: And look in the mirror.
Speaker 4: What do I find? Umm, you don't like it as much.
Speaker 2: There's no mirror in the change room.
Speaker 5: And when you say no mirror in the change room,
Speaker 5: I have seen a few retail establishments not do the
Speaker 5: mirror in the change room in favor of a communal
Speaker 5: mirror outside entice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how they get you.
Speaker 3: So I'm in the change room trying on this dress.
Speaker 3: Turn around, there's no mirror.
Speaker 1: Son.
Speaker 2: I reels have them to walk outside step at least
Speaker 2: five steps to get in front of the communal mirror,
Speaker 2: So I.
Speaker 3: Have to literally walk. I'm looking in the road.
Speaker 2: There's three other women staring at me. Yeah, staring at
Speaker 2: every little bit of my body. I'm looking at the dress.
Speaker 3: The dress? Was it the nicest dress.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I.
Speaker 2: Probably would have won it, but I know in that
Speaker 2: moment I had to look at myself in the mirror.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with an audience, it's sport.
Speaker 3: And in this shop, I got to tell you, the
Speaker 3: smiles were few and far between, no supportive yas queen environment.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 5: The tricky thing is my mind goes to two places.
Speaker 5: The first place where I'm giving them the benefit of
Speaker 5: the doubt. I'm saying, Okay, it's really expected to fit
Speaker 5: out a store putting a mirror in every change room.
Speaker 4: Maybe there wasn't a budget for it.
Speaker 3: If you're gonna I try a six D piece of
Speaker 3: fabric that is mass produced. The least you can know
Speaker 3: is put a mirrord.
Speaker 5: Now my second thought is back in my clothing retail
Speaker 5: days I worked at Chic there was we were told
Speaker 5: and I'm sure it happened to a lot of retail
Speaker 5: stores as well. But sales one oh one need to
Speaker 5: get people out of the change room because when they're
Speaker 5: in there for too long, they start, you know, all
Speaker 5: the new what's neuroses come out, They get insecure.
Speaker 4: You need to like break that cycle.
Speaker 5: Get in there, validate them, convince them that you know best,
Speaker 5: and that you see the vision. And of course it's
Speaker 5: that peer pressure when you're outside and I was like.
Speaker 4: Oh my babe, looks amazing, it's fantastic. Whatever.
Speaker 5: And also the longer you stay in the item, the
Speaker 5: more likely you are to want to keep it. So
Speaker 5: once you come out, you're circling around, you look for
Speaker 5: other things.
Speaker 4: Oh you have it in a bigger size.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, you're closer to potentially closing. I feel
Speaker 5: like retail brick and mortar need to do everything they
Speaker 5: can to make customers comfortable because you know what we
Speaker 5: can do shop online.
Speaker 4: You don't want that. You don't want to smoke, So listen,
Speaker 4: I've got a beef.
Speaker 3: Please install mirrors in your change rooms.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna buy something from your store if you
Speaker 2: don't have individual mirrors.
Speaker 3: Mark my words. I love that dress. Am I gonna
Speaker 3: buy it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I'm incensed.
Speaker 1: This is flex and Froomska.
Speaker 5: You might remember we talked about how there is a
Speaker 5: bit of a debate circling the internet right now courtesy
Speaker 5: of your two face flexen frooms. I said that I
Speaker 5: believe that brushing one's teeth in the shower is the
Speaker 5: height of luxury and comfort through me responded with a
Speaker 5: vehemos no, and then mentioned like pissed steam and let.
Speaker 2: Me clarify out, I said, I also brush my teeth
Speaker 2: in the shower. However, I take it out as soon
Speaker 2: as I'm done and place it back into the linen cupboard.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you lock it away, yes, And I fully understand
Speaker 5: that in theory. Somebody else said in the comments of
Speaker 5: the video we publish that they lock their you know,
Speaker 5: their important bits and pieces in the cupboards so no
Speaker 5: feces remnants get onto it. I hadn't even considered that,
Speaker 5: and now I have. It's also just a lot for me,
Speaker 5: and I don't have time for that to be a
Speaker 5: priority now I don't. It makes sense to me that
Speaker 5: people are sink teeth brushes. I think that's what media depicts.
Speaker 5: That's what's very normal. You know, we've been socialized to
Speaker 5: want to brush our teeth at the sink. For me,
Speaker 5: it's personally very very messy. In my last couple of apartments,
Speaker 5: I've had really beautiful boutique sinks, you know, those like
Speaker 5: sphere ones with like the tall sides. They're there for show.
Speaker 5: They're not functional, because the moment you start washing your hands.
Speaker 5: Water is splashing everywhere. You wash your face, cleanser everywhere,
Speaker 5: on the mirror, on the countertops, you brush your teeth,
Speaker 5: you find toothpaste everywhere. But despite that, it just matches
Speaker 5: my routine to do it in the shower. That's what
Speaker 5: I prefer now. When people were asking me, or were
Speaker 5: kind of feigning how this was impossible that I could
Speaker 5: maintain this, the general consensus was, are you only brushing
Speaker 5: your teeth once a day? No, I'm showering twice a day.
Speaker 5: Does that not make the most sense? Like for me,
Speaker 5: I'm a morning shower and a night shower. If I
Speaker 5: had to pick one, I'd definitely be a morning shower.
Speaker 5: And I find that fellow morning showers don't hesitate the
Speaker 5: showering at night because you had.
Speaker 4: A whole day building up filth.
Speaker 5: Right, it's night showers who I feel like don't understand
Speaker 5: a two a day because if you shower at night,
Speaker 5: I can understand why you think you don't need to
Speaker 5: shower in the morning, but you don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: How the hell can you shower at night and then
Speaker 3: go to work without showering, You sink, I sweat so
Speaker 3: much at night babes.
Speaker 1: Talk to them.
Speaker 2: They're out there, say okay, do you shower at night
Speaker 2: and then wake her in the morning, go.
Speaker 4: About the day.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, there's also a community of people who
Speaker 2: who don't do cleanser in the morning, just do a
Speaker 2: water wash.
Speaker 5: They're among us. And here's to say, some of us
Speaker 5: will raise me paranoid about hygiene. I'm just gonna put
Speaker 5: it out there. There is a vast group of communities
Speaker 5: of people who don't have paranoise about hygiene.
Speaker 4: So for them, they're kind.
Speaker 5: Of like, ah, teeth crushing. No, no, no, we're not the same.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna leave it at that.
Speaker 4: Built different, built different.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Flex and Frooms on Kita.
Speaker 2: I have a boned pick Flex Miami, And it's about
Speaker 2: the footwear that is enclosing both of our gorgeous feet
Speaker 2: here today. They are crocs, cro cs, pairs of footwear,
Speaker 2: footwear made from rubber.
Speaker 4: Yeah, recycled stuff.
Speaker 3: Are they recycled?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So these shoes that we have on. If you're not
Speaker 2: familiar with with what a croc is, it's like the shape,
Speaker 2: it's like a clog, but with holes all through it.
Speaker 2: It's very aerodynamic and it has a strap of the
Speaker 2: back which you can put forward for regular mode and
Speaker 2: back for sports mode. Where do you want to go
Speaker 2: for a run or one. So I've been wearing crocs
Speaker 2: full time for about a year now. Yeah, I'm wearing
Speaker 2: them ninety five percent of the time. The work does
Speaker 2: not stop it literally, And I noticed something last moment
Speaker 2: down to Melbourne and saw my family. My mum isn't
Speaker 2: very I mean, she observes what I look like and
Speaker 2: what I wear, but she will never say anything negative
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 4: Oh good, which we love.
Speaker 2: However, I'm sitting up with my feet up against the
Speaker 2: couch and Mum goes, oh.
Speaker 3: Your feet are a bit cracked. Yeah, you got cracked feet.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I thought, this isn't where it starts.
Speaker 2: This isn't where your negative self talk towards me begins
Speaker 2: at the age of twenty four.
Speaker 3: And she's like, you really need to fix that. She
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 2: Adamant, like you need to fix your feet, as if
Speaker 2: cracked feet is the worse thing ever, like I've done get.
Speaker 4: Ugly and they're having my feelings fix them.
Speaker 3: Literally, She's like, good way.
Speaker 2: So then I googled it and apparently if you wear
Speaker 2: open toe shoes, you get cracked feet.
Speaker 4: What's that about?
Speaker 5: Why do you think historically you look at a bunch
Speaker 5: of bros who are every day wearing socks and full shoes,
Speaker 5: and they whip them off and they're the butteriest, softest.
Speaker 4: All the tears feet you ever see it in your.
Speaker 3: Life, it's because they're in closed.
Speaker 5: Because they're in closed, they're retaining the moisture. You know,
Speaker 5: it's hard for your feet.
Speaker 4: The elements, all.
Speaker 5: This air, the sweat, the water you're drying out, it's
Speaker 5: all this pressure you're walking on it.
Speaker 4: It's not good for the feet. And then you're not
Speaker 4: doing any active care.
Speaker 5: You know, your skin, you're rehydrating it, you're balancing it,
Speaker 5: you're taking off the linging in your feet are so like, uh,
Speaker 5: what's the word I'm looking for? Exposed, exposed and not
Speaker 5: cared for in the way they should. And then you
Speaker 5: have crocs. It's like the rubbing of the like the
Speaker 5: rubber is pulling moisture from your skin. Number one, you
Speaker 5: know that's not good. And then you know it's all
Speaker 5: out in the elements. I usually do a sock and crock,
Speaker 5: but when it gets to somemer I've gotta be more
Speaker 5: careful with it. Yeah, so what do you do to
Speaker 5: fix your cracked feet? So nice feet only sometimes? So
Speaker 5: like I try and get pedicures off and off and often,
Speaker 5: but the crock's really bad for my cracked feet. So
Speaker 5: I do a little milky foot foot mask I try
Speaker 5: and do. Recently, about a couple of months ago, I
Speaker 5: bought a silicon sock so at night I can put
Speaker 5: moisturizer on my feet put on the silicon sock, so
Speaker 5: it's like hydrating it.
Speaker 3: I wonder if men use them for different purposes.
Speaker 5: Men are just so lucky in some ways, you know,
Speaker 5: like a silicon sock. Now, I was being a men's
Speaker 5: rights podcast and then but then also just trying to
Speaker 5: wear socks more often.
Speaker 4: But it's not me. It's not me.
Speaker 5: I haven't been a sock were in a long time.
Speaker 5: There was a point in time I used to wear
Speaker 5: sneakers every.
Speaker 3: Day me too, it's real Nike numbers.
Speaker 5: And before I used to wear heels a day. It's
Speaker 5: just I can't do it. So it is unfortunate. It
Speaker 5: is the real epidemic happening currently. You thought it was COVID.
Speaker 5: It's dry feet unfortunately. But there is a window of
Speaker 5: time in every month, there's two weeks my feet are pristine,
Speaker 5: and the other two weeks just don't look.
Speaker 2: I might be getting on the milky foot bandwagon. I
Speaker 2: think it's the only recourse.
Speaker 4: The sooner the.
Speaker 1: Better, I say, fleck and frooms.
Speaker 5: I told you that my tap water tastes terrible. And
Speaker 5: this is an objective fact. It's not just me being picky,
Speaker 5: though I am mount Franklin over everything.
Speaker 4: It doesn't taste good.
Speaker 5: It tastes good sediment and dirt and rust and like,
Speaker 5: it's not sexy. And recently an article came out about
Speaker 5: which state in Australia has the best water. It is
Speaker 5: drum roll.
Speaker 4: Please not Adelaide. Oh you got beef with Adelaide? Really?
Speaker 3: Can I guess?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Victoria Melbourne has the best tap water. You might think
Speaker 5: was just a government funded activity.
Speaker 3: Was a census pleading away on the computer.
Speaker 5: Melbourne Water's Cresswell water treatment plant won the best tasting
Speaker 5: tap Water in Australia competition held in the New South
Speaker 5: Wales town of Casino. So not really affiliating, rude, but
Speaker 5: but I vouch for it. So like wine tasting, but
Speaker 5: without the after effects. Obviously, judges sipped water samples in
Speaker 5: a blind taste test, judging format, color, odor, and taste.
Speaker 5: So this contest is all about showcasing the work of
Speaker 5: local water providers who keep their community sustainable with safe
Speaker 5: drinking water.
Speaker 4: It's cute. This is cute.
Speaker 3: And was Melbourne unanimous?
Speaker 5: I don't know, don't have the details. I seem so,
Speaker 5: but unanimous enough.
Speaker 2: When I was seven, I went to Adelaide for the
Speaker 2: first and last time. So now I was more like
Speaker 2: fourteen years old and I'm seven for you, and I
Speaker 2: went to visit my best friend who had moved there.
Speaker 2: So sad when a childhood friend moved cities.
Speaker 4: The fact that you visited though, yeah.
Speaker 2: Big Bessie and I had a tap water, I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I had to just drink Pepsi max the rest of
Speaker 2: the troupe. It was that foul the water in Adelaide,
Speaker 2: Like I remember exactly where I was standing the first
Speaker 2: time I drunk it.
Speaker 4: It was that bad. What does it taste like?
Speaker 3: Bitter?
Speaker 4: Oof off?
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, and we can go through the list of
Speaker 5: what bad water tastes like. First of all, a lot
Speaker 5: of American water is thick, which I do not like.
Speaker 5: Very thick like saliva consistency, or it tastes salty, which
Speaker 5: is like high sodium like daysami for example. Ever I
Speaker 5: knows it's like a high sodium contents of drinking, it
Speaker 5: makes you more thirsty. There's a one night h what's
Speaker 5: that brand of water in America? Yeah, you gotta know
Speaker 5: your brand's babe. Not all brands are made the same.
Speaker 5: I'm actually done with this conversation though.
Speaker 2: So.
