WEBVTT - Are Bucket Lists Actually Silly? ✔️📓

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:10.239
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch Up podcast. Here's the thing about miss me.

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thingy Now.

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>When we record our podcasts, we do it downstairs in

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>our original studio space. And there's something about the energy

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 2>here that is like a black hole. It sucks the

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 2>life out of you. You really do have to try

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>to fight against the current to stay alert and aware

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>and present in this room. One thing for me won't

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 2>do is fight against that current. She will let it

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>take her under.

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 3>You don't what to do it in a rip.

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Literally, she lets the rip take her under. You know,

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:39.319
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't want to, she.

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to challenge. But then I'm like, Beds, we

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>still have to we still have to work.

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, fuck it,

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>fuck you've lost it.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's read the rookie and do you mean to swear

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 3>it you Brookie? I'll produce song whatever, whatever. Brookie's over it.

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 3>But we're on this Steeler Girl.

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm into it.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Sound contract.

0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I love the overcoming narrative.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 3>What I he a little different, isn't it?

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Alright?

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's get to it. Flex and Rooms on Kater.

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>As you know, we have crowned ourselves the most appropriate

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>people to answer life's big questions. Today's comes from a

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>listener called Elise, and they say, hey, Flex and Rooms,

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I love listening to your show and want to get

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts on people that have bucket lists. I personally

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>think they're stupid and don't really understand the hype around them.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you have one yourself? And if you did, what

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>would be on it?

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>Damn?

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Alice really came in sing like they're stupid. You know.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.279
<v Speaker 3>I used to call my dad stupid back to other people,

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>and then this other adult pulled me aside and said,

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>don't call him stupid. It's silly.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, silly's fat, Silly is beautiful. My friend's dad used

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 2>to call me Sillyan like silly Lilian, and I love that.

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It was endearing.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think he intended it to be just

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be like a bad influence friend, but I'm.

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Like, that's funny.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Stupid feels targeted, stupid home of art. That feels like

0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>derogatory of the highest degree. Well, I said what I said,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>you did bucket lists? Let me just google what what

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>is a bucket list? I feel like it's just like goals, goals,

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>and drinks.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I always think of a bucket list as something that

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 3>people do when they're about to die. They're like sixty

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, oh okay, I still have a bit

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 3>of rigor vigore.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a bucket list. According to Google, this

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 2>comes from Oxford Languages. It's a number of experiences or

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplished during

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>their lifetime. That sounds chill. Why is it called a

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>bucket list though? Oh, it comes from the frame before

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>you kick the bucket, So just a list of things

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>to do before you die.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's a bad idea.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I think people, If anything, I think more people should

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>have a bucket list, because I feel like a lot

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of us forget that we're alive and that we have

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>to live life, and that like, at one point we

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>might not be alive anymore, and then we get no

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>chance to live life. We don't take it as seriously

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>as we could.

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>We might not be alive. Babes, No, we will not

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 3>be back. I hear it. Can you believe that this moment,

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 3>right now, we're in the universe together and you're just

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 3>into this.

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>And then at one point we won't be in this

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>universe together. I think I think the bucket list needs

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>just definitely a bit of like twenty twenty three pr.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>It needs to be tiktokified for a second. We need

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>to romanticize it. And I do think on a day

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to day people should be creating a bucket list. You know,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the idea of like if you die tomorrow, what we

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>do today. Everyone's like, oh my god, I go visit

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>my own friend and I go do this and this

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>and this. Not that extreme, but I think you should

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 2>have goals and aspirations that improve the quality of your life.

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Definitely, I'm gonna go home and do one.

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I wonder would be.

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 3>On it tread wife, Literally it would be on a

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>bucket list.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean I definitely. When I think about about an

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>imaginary scenario, I always say, oh, like if I was

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>like gonna build an earthship in Panama, I always say

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>that when I go to Panama. I don't know what

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what Panama looks like, but I've got

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to go to Panama and build an earth ship before

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I die.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>It needs to look into you.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like dropping here.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Flex and Firms Flex and Frimess Cater never miss a beat,

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Flexiana speaking here. I'm an avid reader and my genre

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 2>of choice is fantasy fiction and then the you know

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>offshoots romance smart you know how it is literature, Hi Brown.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 2>What I want to say is that recently I've come

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>out of a reading slum where I'm trying to claw

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>my way out of one because I went from reading

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 2>two to three books a week to none and I

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>don't like what it's doing for me, my mental health

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 2>or my vocabulary. I need to get back into it.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 2>So I'm reading this book at the moment, and I

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>was trying to discern like why I was struggling with it,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, you know what, there's some kind

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>of fantasy I can't read because I can't picture what

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>they're describing. And I was like, and I feel like

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm a good reader. So it's not like I don't

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.799
<v Speaker 2>understand what's being said. It's not like I can't comprehend

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>what I'm reading. I can read it, but my mind's eye,

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>nothing's really coming up. And so because I was procrastinating

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 2>from reading, because TikTok has ruined my intention spam, I

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>went to the internet. My Instagram, and I said, Hey,

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I think I have this mild form of afantasia, which

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>is this.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you call it?

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not a disease, It's just an experience people have

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>where they don't have any visual pictures in their brain.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Obviously I see some stuff in my brain, but it's

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>out of this insane conversation about people who see stuff

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.359
<v Speaker 2>in their head like they see a picture, a visual

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>picture in their head when they think, and people who

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 2>see nothing and the spectrum in between. So obviously there's

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>way more to talk about. Don't want to bore you

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>with half stories. On our podcast Flex and Rooms, You're

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna go deep into it because after about an hour

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 2>of trying to articulate what I'm experiencing in my mind,

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I finally figured it out information. I like to think

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>and daydream in dialogue, not visual. And this feels like

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 2>a contradiction to people because I'm a very creative, like

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a visually creative person, and they don't understand what I'm.

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Same crazy stuff.

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Ever, Okay, to.

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Begin, I'm just gonna read you excerpt of this book

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and what even started this issue for me?

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>We're let down.

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Narrow streets no more sophisticated and those we've wound our

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>way through. On the northern banks of the river, there's

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the same patchwork of dwellings, seemilarly cobbled together from the

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 2>scavenge junk, the ever present stables, and the stench of shit,

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>both human and animal.

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Finally, we approach.

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 2>A cluster of buildings rising above the mushrooming shanty old

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>world in construction. Their grubby stone is weathered with age.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>They're pointing in need of repair, but the general impression

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>is palatial compared to the slums over which they hold court.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I see nothing, not one thing. Maybe there's a keyword.

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I see cobbled. I think of cobble stones, but I'm

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 2>not thinking of the context of the cobble together scavenge junk.

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>That's not what they're saying. I just don't see anything.

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>And then I think, in some instances I could be like, Okay, well,

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can imagine cobblestones, I can imagine like

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>palatial buildings, but I don't understand how they work in

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 2>this context. It's just not seeing anything, and so I

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 2>have to clarify. Obviously, I don't have affantasia. I can

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>see stuff in my brain. But I think I can

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of imagine people I know well, Like if someone

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>said to think of rooms, I would think of a

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>picture i'd seen of you, or like a memory we

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 2>had had in a vague way. And if I think

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 2>about it too hard, your face is distorted. It's like fuzzy.

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I get like the vibe of you. But when I

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>have to picture something new, I can only cobble together references. Right,

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>So the example I gave is if you told me

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>to think of Robert Pattinson in Woolwors, I get a

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>little p andng Robert Pattinson and I put him in

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>a Woolworths aisle and then I've seen it, right, But

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>it's still like taking visual references.

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 3>So whereas I'm imagining him like mosing through the aisles

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>looking at the produce like it's a moving image and

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 3>he's weaving his way around the store.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I mean I guess like in my head,

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Okay, then I think of a scene from

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Twilight and then kind of like change the background, like

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy to Woolworths or whatever. So I was explaining

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that like when I'm reading in particular, more detail doesn't

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>give me a more clear picture of anything. Less detailed

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>is working much better because then I can kind of

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>like pull from a reference, but it just gets so

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 2>detail heaven, I'm like, I see nothing, not anything is

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up. And then if if I'm looking at a

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>character or I'm trying to picture a character, I'll just

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>pick a celebrity that I feel like is vaguely similar

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'll.

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Just picture them. That's because I want, I need the

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>reference point.

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>And I was saying, this is why I think I

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>prefer to like read books that are dialogue heavy, because

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I can relate to an emotion or a story or

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>like I, you know, I told her this and then

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 2>she said this, because then I can just pick the feeling.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 2>But then when it's heaps of world building, I'm like,

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's happening here, what is going on?

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 3>It's so weird. I feel like I don't read that

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 3>many books that when I do, I can always visualize,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Like I'm thinking of particular books. One thing I do

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 3>is I can't remember the names. But there's this like book.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Someone will know what it is, and it's based in

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Korea and it's just like family decades, like they escape

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 3>the war and then they like, the sisters live in

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 3>a village.

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Someone's gonna know this one.

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 3>And then the sisters separate and then one of the

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 3>sisters kids dies And it also has.

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't give away the ending, No, no, I won't, won't.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 3>But it also has to do with Mama san like

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 3>brothels is that the term? Yeah, I don't know anyway,

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 3>someone know what it is. But I can still visualize

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 3>these two women washing clothes in the lake. Yeah, I

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 3>definitely still mix it with certain places, like I imagine

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.839
<v Speaker 3>them in North Bonda in some respects. Yeah, but near

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 3>a vces, right up on the grassy and all. But yeah,

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 3>it's funny to me that I remember seeing your story.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Someone was like, but how do you design the earrings? Oh?

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll get to that in the second.

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I was also thinking, like, for example, if

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.599
<v Speaker 2>I daydream, like I'm a big daydreamer, that's one of

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>my favorite things to do, but I daydream in so

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, and then I said, and then they said,

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and then I said, and then they said, and I said,

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 2>what if they said this?

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 1>And then?

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Very rarely am I thinking of things. If I start

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>to think about pictures, they're not clear and they disappear.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 2>So then someone said to me, how is this possible

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>when you literally design things for a living, How do

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>you do that without seeing what you are designing? How

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>do you come up with the ideas? And I was like,

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I can see familiar things in my brain. I just

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 2>struggled to conjurect visuals of the imaginary. If I don't have

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a reference point, and so I don't visually ideate in

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 2>my brain. I verbally ideate, and then I visually mood

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>board or I draw, or I pick a reference or

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I have to see it out. So I said to

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Freemi earlier, if I was going to imagine this room pink,

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing it in my brain. I'm doing it out.

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to picture it using my eyes what it

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.439
<v Speaker 2>would be like pink. I'm not gonna look at it.

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>In my head. You had to close my eyes and

0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>imagine pink. Pink isn't coming? Does my pink? Black and

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.439
<v Speaker 1>white and gray?

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>FLEXI And then so then I was also saying that

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 2>someone's like, Okay, what about when you read poetry. I'm like,

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I only read poetry about feelings, so I can just

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 2>feel the feelings together.

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's odd because now I understand. For example, like

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>if you tell me a story, I'm like, can you

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 2>show me him, show me them? Or like what does

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>that look like? Because if I'm not going to get

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the picture of him or them or the thing, but

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I need to know what it looks like visually so

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I can connect the dots later on. Otherwise I'm like,

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what I'm doing here. And then somebody

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 2>was like, okay, so how does it work with the jewelry?

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I.

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Look at physical jewelry and I think when I look

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.079
<v Speaker 2>at myself, what would be cool on me? And then

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I collage in flesh. It's very odd because now I

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.199
<v Speaker 2>feel like this because you assume your brain works the

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>way that other people's brains work, or you assume there's

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:55.839
<v Speaker 2>not that much of a disparity either.

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 1>So now I'm.

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Thinking, you know, when people are saying, oh, picture this,

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not picturing this.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that what's going on? I'm reading this?

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>And WHENI says, since I picture that family dancing in

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>my head, That's why I'm like, your brain is so busy.

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>The amount of people that message me saying, you know

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>what I got someone dancing in my head too. Yeah,

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I said, yeah.

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Because if I look at my brain or I think

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 2>if I close my eyes, it's just like a black

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 2>abyss and voices, all my voices.

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy.

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>But just talking, talking talking talking talking talking, it's a lot.

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the more we talk about this, somebody

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>will come at me like, I know exactly what you're

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly what you're talking about.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.439
<v Speaker 3>It's like that when I was talking about everything moving

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, it's Alice in Wonderland effect, and I

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 3>was like, yeah, Yeah, that's why my jaw feels massive.

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes you can't just tack that on to the end.

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Now the ones I get to get it, you're inflex

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and fronts. That's what my jaw is fucking huge.

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 3>This is flex and frooms. I was texting a man's

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 3>the other day. The details are scanned and they are

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 3>not necessary. However, we were like texting back and forth.

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 3>We just started texting, like texting straight away, stradeaways, straight

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 3>aways in the afternoon, a text every ten minutes, you know,

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 3>like okay, we had tempo, we had yeah.

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 2>And giving unemployed at the same time. And I know

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you were at work when this was so a bit

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 2>of detail.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 3>It was definitely after work and I was walking along

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Bondai Beach. Sorry I can say that because there's literally

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 3>a million people here. I was walking along the beach

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 3>and it looked amazing, like it looked like I was

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 3>in Rio. There was so many people everywhere, it was

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 3>so hot, and so I just went to send him

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 3>a photo.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I okay.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.719
<v Speaker 2>I love when we start to integrate different media into

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.079
<v Speaker 2>a text thread. I want to see a voice message,

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a picky, a gift like an emojiy. I am obsessed,

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 2>a video walking and talking video send obsessed.

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean my doing the front of first is a

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:55.679
<v Speaker 3>bit strong man.

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very lofty bold. I love it.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I was was genuinely in that moment, like we were

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 3>speaking earlier about how your time on earth is infinite. Sorry,

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 3>your time on Earth is finite.

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.959
<v Speaker 2>Room please, Like when do you call that place like

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the Office of Births and Deaths in the city They

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>start suing us.

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 3>And I took this photo and I sent it because

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I was just overcome with this emotion of oh my god,

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 3>life and He's like, oh, I bet you there's heaps

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 3>of like Irish and English and Spanish people down there,

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 3>because given it's Bondai Beach, it's a really big tourist hub.

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm scared, say two thirds of my community.

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 3>So I said, yeah, there's so many people here you

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 3>couldn't You couldn't throw a stick without hitting anyone, Okay?

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 3>And then I was like, is that this sounds kind

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 3>of like violent? Wait, I'm going to just google to

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 3>see what the expression actually is. Great, tell me why

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I googled.

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't throw a stick without hitting on it?

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's like, hmm, more than I could throw

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 3>a stick without hitting. The expression, much to my demise,

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 3>is more X into the things, more X than you

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 3>can shake a stick at. And so that I am

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 3>nothing to me more what do you use it in

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 3>a sentence? There's so much flex mummy in this room.

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 3>There's more flex mummy than I could shake a stick at.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>That the first thing makes way more sense to the

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>second one. I like, so what does it mean?

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it just means there's people everywhere, Like you couldn't

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 3>throw a stone without hitting one of them. That's better everywhere. Yeah,

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 3>So just in this moment they heat of the moment

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 3>of an exciting text exchange a beautiful day.

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 2>You didn't what do you think you didn't read it

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 2>and check it twice.

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 3>So my tip is and I've seen this happen on

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 3>body correct Nah, of course, not because it sounded.

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Fine, gentlemen.

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I have seen this play out when I've been texted

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 3>as well, like go a bit easy on the wordplay

0:15:58.440 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 3>and like the expression.

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Because do you want any poetics so bad? I want

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to know that you got what. And it's not a

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>time bait.

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 2>It's really not because when you have to correct your

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>little asterisk, you're like, oh no, sorry, but and you're like,

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and you gotta do like thirteen minutes later because you're

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 2>checking the threat to see what to say.

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Yuck. Yeah, just go with it. I just went with it,

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 3>and I thought, let's just pretend that I made it

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 3>my own and I can never think of it again.

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>My chest is tired.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 3>I just have deleted the whole thread.

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>You've got to block him now, it's not personal. You've

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>been listening to the Flex and Frooms Daily podcast.

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.359
