Speaker 2: Sorry, guys, we got as a dozen each bays.
Speaker 4: This is above and beyond.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh it's risky, speme.
Speaker 2: But when we went through, we went through an era
Speaker 2: of misspren brand names.
Speaker 3: So, guys, krispy Kreme have such an amazing part in
Speaker 3: my brain.
Speaker 4: The fact that sounds like an ad read.
Speaker 3: Wait, let me tell you so, guys, when Krispy Kreme
Speaker 3: opened in Chadstone in I think two thousand and six,
Speaker 3: I went with my family and I could not believe
Speaker 3: that we had this amazing American brand. That's my story.
Speaker 3: I just love Christia cream so much, and I will
Speaker 3: say the enjoyment was slightly soured when someone told me
Speaker 3: that it's the calorie the calorie count, but I persevered.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 2: I actually have travelers diarrhea, so it's not ideal, but
Speaker 2: I'm really thankful and grateful. I think it'll help push
Speaker 2: it out. Yeah, and I do love access service. It's
Speaker 2: so thoughtful. Thank you, Mickey. Okay, I got a surprise
Speaker 2: on my own. I saw these in the fridge downstairs,
Speaker 2: and you know me, I like straight after lunch to
Speaker 2: get a mass bah so so glad I saved three.
Speaker 1: And do you know what she said to me?
Speaker 2: She looked at it the eye and said, I think
Speaker 2: I saw something in the fridge, and if it's not mine,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be upset. How would you know, because
Speaker 2: I just Mickey knows us, yes, but how would you
Speaker 2: see in an office that was how many radio shows
Speaker 2: are in the one hundreds hundred and you would go
Speaker 2: into a tiny fridge that is meant to resource hundreds
Speaker 2: of people, see two boxes of Krispy Kremes and threaten
Speaker 2: Mickey in hopes that they belong to us.
Speaker 1: I said, I will get a dealiary barner to bring
Speaker 1: me my partner.
Speaker 4: You're sick. That means intuition spot on.
Speaker 1: Oh I love Cruzia Kreams. It's time for Flexi's Big
Speaker 1: question of the week on cater.
Speaker 2: If your life was a movie, which would you want
Speaker 2: to be in? I'm only asking because I do that
Speaker 2: thing that everybody does when you get in a plane,
Speaker 2: you stuck up on all these movies that you should
Speaker 2: have watched but you haven't. I don't know if I've
Speaker 2: spoken to you about this before, but I don't like
Speaker 2: to watch movies more than once, and I want to
Speaker 2: read books more than once. I'm like, my first impression
Speaker 2: should be the impression. I don't get anything more or
Speaker 2: less from it. But I'm renegging on that because if
Speaker 2: a movie's really impacted me, I want to know why
Speaker 2: as well as opposed to just getting.
Speaker 4: Caught up in the feelings.
Speaker 2: So naturally, I did put any sane person did and
Speaker 2: rewatched What Mean Girls?
Speaker 4: That does nothing for me.
Speaker 2: I wish it did, though, because it's got a lot
Speaker 2: of cultural references that I don't really understand. But no
Speaker 2: Tram the Notebook, no rom com or comedy, solutely none
Speaker 2: or horror, No a thriller inception.
Speaker 4: I rewatched him. Christopher Nolan Bay, what do you think
Speaker 4: this is?
Speaker 1: I think I've even ever watched that movie.
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised it's completing.
Speaker 2: At one point in time, it was the best movie
Speaker 2: in the world according to IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, too.
Speaker 1: We know it's all men that yeah, my people, Okay.
Speaker 4: My community. He's sick in me.
Speaker 2: But it's about dreams, which I like you do, and
Speaker 2: it's about developing this skill. So the protagonist is a
Speaker 2: thief and he doesn't steal real life assets. He steals
Speaker 2: and plants memories into people's brains or he extracts their deepest,
Speaker 2: darker secrets from their brain as he intercepts their dreams.
Speaker 1: And what does he do that for? To bribe them
Speaker 1: for other big dogs?
Speaker 2: So like, let's say I'm a big dog and you're
Speaker 2: a big dog, and I want to get into your
Speaker 2: brain and convince you to like dissolve your company so
Speaker 2: I can be an oligarch. I'll hire this guy to
Speaker 2: intercept your dreams, plant a memory, or plant an idea
Speaker 2: so deep in your subconscious that over a couple of
Speaker 2: months or years, you'll think it was your own idea and.
Speaker 4: You'll act on it. Very cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, If I had to be in a movie, it
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 2: Sorry, oh did I eat Hell Day? I don't even
Speaker 2: know what it's about, but I hate in my head.
Speaker 2: I know like ten, I know ten rom coms. And
Speaker 2: if it wasn't gonna be that. It was gonna be
Speaker 2: like ten Things I Hate about You, or like that
Speaker 2: Romeo and Juliet one that everybody likes.
Speaker 1: You pick the most derogatory movie all the time.
Speaker 2: What is it about it? Like the Reese with a
Speaker 2: spoon one. Oh that's a bit to me.
Speaker 3: She's a chuaha and she drives a Porsche No Bridge Jones.
Speaker 3: She's like in her thirty single wants a boyfriend, Go
Speaker 3: get Gone.
Speaker 2: And she works as a journalist doing field studies, doing
Speaker 2: pieces to camera a comedy bass Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I rewatched and I was like, well, no, if
Speaker 3: my thing you had to be like a moving picture,
Speaker 3: it would be a sitcom.
Speaker 4: Oh you are okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's like recurring themes, like no big issue, the
Speaker 3: big issues are resolved by the end of the episode.
Speaker 3: It's funny there's recurring characters.
Speaker 2: I was listening to a scriptwriter recently though, was saying
Speaker 2: that one of the things that makes TV show so
Speaker 2: good is that what can go wrong does go wrong,
Speaker 2: and that's what.
Speaker 4: Makes it interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then like just minor issues, minor issues Simpsons,
Speaker 3: So which show Simpsons or South Park? What character on
Speaker 3: the Simpsons? I want to be far Maggie. Lisa, Oh,
Speaker 3: would never said the least a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: I'm on the Lisa train.
Speaker 1: Well, because she was like a nerd, like nerd and
Speaker 1: like a bit.
Speaker 3: She took all the worries of the world on her shoulders,
Speaker 3: which you know, to be a woman is to suffer,
Speaker 3: as they say.
Speaker 4: And who would you have been a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Maggie, Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: There's an evolution happening one hundred.
Speaker 1: Percent for better or for worse. And if I was
Speaker 1: in South Park, I would want to be.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Cartman has fun as an antagonist. Have you watched South Park?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Maybe, mister Garrison.
Speaker 4: Anyway, guys say no more.
Speaker 3: We are not with child yet, both not pregnant as
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: It got my palms right, he said three kids.
Speaker 3: Though, Oh, I see you as a one child family.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I want to be a one child babe as well.
Speaker 2: But maybe I just might get the hang of it.
Speaker 3: If you have children, they will definitely be girls. That's
Speaker 3: all I'm going to say, thank you. Okay, So we
Speaker 3: have an anonymous story from a listener, which I always
Speaker 3: love because if they're anonymous, they means this is really crazy.
Speaker 1: All right here we go.
Speaker 3: Random story of crap parenting and an early pre admission
Speaker 3: redacted for my daughter.
Speaker 1: We love that redacted?
Speaker 4: Okay, pre admission a pre admission.
Speaker 2: It's like when their name is down for the expensive school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the expensive school of flex and frimes. My kid
Speaker 3: has a playdate and as a little mate is leaving,
Speaker 3: I like this woman with his mum. I notice he's
Speaker 3: holding a redacted ring in his hand, something from.
Speaker 1: Her top drawer. If you know what I'm saying, TK.
Speaker 4: Thank you because as an engagement room in.
Speaker 3: His hand from a packet that was stashed in mummy's
Speaker 3: private drawer. Left with no choice, I had to refit
Speaker 3: out of his hands and awkwardly explain to his mum
Speaker 3: why I had just attacked her son. Fast forward a
Speaker 3: few weeks. Cleaning out my six year old daughter's school
Speaker 3: bag one afternoon, what do I find but the entire
Speaker 3: pack of redacted rings that have since been moved to
Speaker 3: a new secret location. The worst part is it was
Speaker 3: a pack of six and there were only two left,
Speaker 3: so she had obviously.
Speaker 4: Gifted them to her friends.
Speaker 3: I am unprepared for all and any of the aftermath
Speaker 3: of this situation, so planned to act shocked if anything
Speaker 3: comes of it, pleadnerance and deny everything percent.
Speaker 4: What can you do?
Speaker 1: Mate, Like children, they don't know what's happening. They just
Speaker 1: think it's a funny thing.
Speaker 4: A hundred percent.
Speaker 2: You don't want to isolate yourself from the other parents.
Speaker 2: It's not even your fault.
Speaker 1: Surely, because I always thought so.
Speaker 3: When you're a kid, you're thinking, oh my god, if
Speaker 3: one parent, if one person's parents like fudge up, then
Speaker 3: that's so embarrassing. But like all the parents are on
Speaker 3: the same level, they're all in it together.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think it's I think it's supremacy.
Speaker 2: I think when you're in that environment. I've heard enough
Speaker 2: horror stories about school pickup hierarchies where the parents who
Speaker 2: are a bit more diligent in picking up judge the
Speaker 2: parents who are like you know, every now and then
Speaker 2: kids get left in after school care get judged by
Speaker 2: the parents. Parents who don't participate in P and C
Speaker 2: get judged heavily. And because only a few parents can
Speaker 2: actually do that, the hierarchy displays itself really early on.
Speaker 1: Was your mom ever involved in that stuff? No, nor
Speaker 1: was mine.
Speaker 4: I just feel like it's a it's a whole job
Speaker 4: in itself.
Speaker 2: But I was talking to a friend recently who is
Speaker 2: trying to get her toddlers into school, and she hoping
Speaker 2: to just donate some money. And she donated the money
Speaker 2: and she didn't get her so horrible stuff. Sometimes money
Speaker 2: doesn't do what it needs to do in terms of nepotism.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just donate, so good.
Speaker 1: Flex and Frims. I'm Kido, I'm mickey ARMI, Hi guys,

Speaker 2: fifty favorite songs, he does his fifty favorite podcast.
Speaker 4: When twenty seven, I really thought it was Barrack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you really? Actually? I need to know back Obama? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Probably Baraq sounds wrong to me. Barack?
Speaker 4: Is it my accent? I don't understand. I always thought
Speaker 4: it was Barack, like just like him. She's channeling.
Speaker 1: I would say, it's Barack Obama. Is that right?
Speaker 4: You just said it?
Speaker 3: That was right, Barack Obama. You want, I have to

Speaker 3: You and my dad are actually so similar as people.
Speaker 3: Really both love sorbet hate milk, both salespeople and both daughters.
Speaker 2: I see my future in his daughter would be like
Speaker 2: we weren't even well off.
Speaker 4: Mom did drive me to school. Everyone in a rolls
Speaker 4: for we wait, it's part of the family.
Speaker 1: I deny.
Speaker 4: It's something my dad taught me. He said, I'm learning
Speaker 4: in real time.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's play the grab mickey, do you want to explain?
Speaker 1: To explained it?
Speaker 3: Speaking of ice cream, guys, I came across. I've been
Speaker 3: talking about ice cream thinking baskroam all the time. Then
Speaker 3: TikTok obviously served me up a beautiful soft serve of
Speaker 3: this story.
Speaker 5: During the Victorian period, many children died from having ice cream.
Speaker 5: During the late nineteenth century, ice cream was incredibly popular
Speaker 5: amongst all the classes. Both in America and in the UK,
Speaker 5: vendors with ice cream carts like.
Speaker 1: That would travel to fairs. They would also.
Speaker 5: Walk along popular streets and they would sell the ice cream.
Speaker 5: The ice cream itself would be served in little glasses
Speaker 5: like this. In Britain, they were called penny licks. So
Speaker 5: the child or the adult who bought that ice cream
Speaker 5: would lick the ice cream, staying close to the cart,
Speaker 5: and then would give back the glass. And as you've
Speaker 5: guessed it, those glasses were not washed. They were simply
Speaker 5: refilled with more ice cream for another customer.
Speaker 1: And if the.
Speaker 5: Glasses were rinced at all, there were rinsed in a
Speaker 5: bowl of stagnant water, perhaps fished out of a river,
Speaker 5: which itself was invested with sewage. Soon, however, medical professionals
Speaker 5: began to associate these penny licks with the transmission of
Speaker 5: diseases such as cholera.
Speaker 1: Cholera, that's the green one. Yeah, you die of cholera.
Speaker 2: I'm googling penny licks, so I need to understand habits.
Speaker 2: A turn like a little shot glass and.
Speaker 1: They tongue it out.
Speaker 2: I find it so funny how the term lick was
Speaker 2: like so prominent in the early days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, petty lick, pennyfath.
Speaker 2: A lick of a lock of something like a small
Speaker 2: a small bit of something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, words are.
Speaker 1: Amazing, aren't they.
Speaker 4: Okay, define lick.
Speaker 1: Let's just get really quickly while we're here, while we're here.
Speaker 2: To pass the tongue over something in order to taste,
Speaker 2: moisten or clean it, to overcome decisively.
Speaker 4: All right, Mary, I know, and I'm licked. I'm serious. Okay,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you're Google, we gotta go on Urban Dictionary.
Speaker 4: We don't. It doesn't. What did ox word do to you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Anyway, guys, current ice cream recommendations Connisill Cookies and Chrome.
