0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Far out, Guys, before we get to the podcast.

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 3>On the show, we're in it.

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>We're on the podcast, Oh true. But before we get

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 2>to the bit where I'm telling you about what's the meat,

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I also talk about my experience with Flume on the

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 2>live stream. I have something very controversial that occurred, and

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 2>that was that I was so when you get the

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>live stream with TikTok, I'm seeing their comments roll through,

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>and I was kind of a moderator showing them to

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Flom et cetera. And I'm looking while I'm trying to

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>fucking run the show, I look down and someone's like,

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Flume cross Susan Boyle, Like I look like Susan Boyl.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've got a picture.

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 4>I'll show me and like it's a similar energy.

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I gotta google it too.

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 4>The worst thing about it is that, you know, it's

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 4>not like someone sat with your brand for years and

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 4>they've just connected the doctor. Now it's the first impression,

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 4>the first vibe.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 2>That's come through is sus and boil.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 4>It must be such an uncanny thing for audiences because

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 4>you've unlocked You've unlocked a vintage character in somebody's mind,

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 4>and I it's here.

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Also fainly here Susan boils such a queen. The ship

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 2>that we put that woman through. We well talking, I

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>mean when I say.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 4>We no, see no, it's always when Fumi wants to incriminate.

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Herself, it's always wee wee wee wee wee.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 4>And then it's like, well, FLEXI believes this, and FLEXI

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 4>said this, and then get it out.

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 3>You're part of people hate criming Susan.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>You say wee as well?

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I mean it.

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean it too. I just remember an idol that

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>was the whole thing is like she's a she's a

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>middle aged woman. Like it was about her being a

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>middle aged woman.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 3>TikTok to say that they thought you were younger.

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to get into it. Also, never forget,

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>while we're on the topic, I did an interview with

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>that dude from Stranger Things years ago, and I was

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>looking good on the camera. Oh, I have no doubt

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>about it, and we're like turtle neck, makeup was fleaky,

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. And someone commented people who listened to Bogus

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>no one I know about to say it was like

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>she looks both twenty and sixty at and it's true,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I really do. Yeah.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how you do the internet, because if

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 4>those things are coming from my DMS, i'd be out

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 4>of there.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>This is the mentivases you raising this. I'm fucking holding

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 2>on by the skin of my teethe, ready to fall

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>at any moment. I'm thinking of backup plans twenty and sixty.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Though you see the vision, anyone else in the root

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 2>the vision.

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 3>I think it's maybe how you come across on camera.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 4>Wow, let's shut up. You're selling it in the flesh.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 4>It's giving, like you know, early thirties. In the flesh.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 4>You gotta find the median.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to sell dressing. I remember this TikTok

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>that someone's like when you see people over the age

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>of twenty three wearing like mesh tops, like you serious.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen that before, but I went or what you.

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Say, co cameras, cop cameracy, fleck and FMS.

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 4>I've been trying not to do a lot of thinking.

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I've been trying to do a lot of living because

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 4>one thing about me, I've learned it in therapy. I've

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 4>got control issues. I didn't resonate with that statement, but

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 4>then everything kind of makes sense. Seriously, that's all I say, literally,

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 4>though it's all there. So I definitely try not to

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 4>think too much because then I can't fight the urge

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 4>to want to control what's happening around me at all times.

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 4>But every now and then I let a rogue thought

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 4>enter my mind, and then I'll share it with the world.

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking a lot about some new interactions I've

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 4>been having, some new friends I've been making. Oh they're

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 4>not friends, but you know, casual acquaintances. And there's this

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 4>one common thread that keeps comment up. They are all

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 4>people who are obsessed with The Simpsons, all adults who

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 4>feel as though they the whole like being of their

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 4>character was defined by them watching The Simpsons when they

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 4>were younger. The references their characters, the scenes, the one liners.

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know what it is because I'm not

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 4>a Simpsons person. Of course, I know Homer, I know Barr,

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I know Lisa, But aside from those March I don't

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 4>know any of the other characters.

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 2>About Maggie the Little Baby.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Maggie the Little Baby, I don't know any of the

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 4>other little characters. I don't know where they live. I

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.359
<v Speaker 4>don't know where they went to school. I don't know

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>the stories, none of.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Them Springfield Elementary. Can I least off some characters? No, No,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Moe Barney, Lenny and Lenny and Carl, Doctor Apoo, Miss

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Crabapple Snake.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 4>You're proving my point exactly. There is no reason why

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 4>somebody in there when they're mid to late twenties, scramp.

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 4>I know this much about a show they watched when

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 4>they were ten, maybe even younger. And the thing that's

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 4>getting me is what is it about me that's attracting

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 4>these types of people?

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Number one and number two? If an adult is looking back.

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 4>On their life and is saying this show really informed

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 4>who I am as a person, and I don't have

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 4>that same experience, there's so much we're not going to

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 4>fundamentally understand about each other. Like I find myself feeling

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 4>ostracized from conversations. I'm like, I don't understand what is

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 4>going on. And Simpsons people really are always searching for

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Simpsons people. So I went on, it's true. Can we

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 4>get a hands up, who's a Simpsons person in the room?

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 3>See exactly, I'm.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Brooks every one, Brooks Crook.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you see what I'm talking about.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 4>At all times, I'm just surrounded by Simpsons people, and

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 4>it's not often I'm on the fringe of a discussion.

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 4>It's not often I don't know what's going on.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>This is like when you talk about Drake. Literally I

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 2>feel left out. That's okay, we all have our things.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 4>So what I'm struggling to understand is it's a bit

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 4>of like it's like an early twenties life crisis of

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 4>mine I'm having currently is what is it about me

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 4>that's attracting these people or vice versa. Why don't I

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 4>connect with the show? And is it too late to start?

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Like Diddly do the Flanders who lives next door? So

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Flanders lives next door to the Simpsons anyway, solanders Okay,

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I will say I am surprised. I think, Okay, I

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>don't want to. I don't know if I want to

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 2>increminate myself, no, get it out. But probably when I

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>was like fifteen, I went to a house party and

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I did something for the first time. But I freaked out.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh all right, I freaked out, Okay, And when I

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 2>was having my little minim and TV, what was racing

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>through my mind my parents, of my parents. I need

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>my mom and dad. I need my mom and dad

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and Simpsons. I literally had a breakthrough while I'm sitting

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the forest. I left the party

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and sat in the forest, blown and I was seeing

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Mom and Dad Simpsons. Oh my god, Simpsons is the

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Simpsons is the meaning of life? No, yeah, and I

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>still believe it. Sometimes I'll sit down and I'll watch

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Simpsons and the Simpsons and it starts literally the messages

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 2>in the Simpsons. I believe the person who created it

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>has good morals. Okay, it's morally sound. Simpsons is life,

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why it comes up so much is

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>because it meant a lot to all of us. Yeah,

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>except for.

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 4>You, Except for me and my brothers watched it. Anyway,

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm at the beginning of a thought, and I do

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 4>think there is something to say about what TV shows

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 4>you were impacted by as a child, and who you

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 4>are as an adult, what your humor is like, how

0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 4>you see the world. But I think I'm maybe six

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 4>months away from understanding what I need to understand.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 2>What's like. I go back and watch Austin Powers, and

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm both shook and saddened by the fact that I

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>don't actually have a single original thought, like any kind

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 2>of thing that I do as a human based project

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>has exactly based project humor. The alien being is coming out.

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh dear flex and frooms FLEXI. I was out this weekend,

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.040

<v Speaker 2>Freeders and I always turn up when I get to

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Cafe Fraders. Just got that vibe about it. And I

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 2>was with a maid of mine and he told me

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>this story about whether or not he should I'll just

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 2>cut to it.

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, let us hear it, all right, my chest is tight.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 4>Last time you did this, you told a nipple story.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he still live up to that,

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.839
<v Speaker 2>but so I have a question.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 5>So started talking to this guy on a dating app

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 5>and we matched his really hot slice sliceay Sleigh. However,

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 5>Commer a really good friend of mine, like I recognize

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.839
<v Speaker 5>the guy I matched with a really good friend of

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 5>mine went on a.

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 6>One date with him on a first date.

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 5>And I know this because my dear friend, honestly a

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 5>few months back, was just like, hey, I went out

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 5>on this date with this guy, like really good vibes,

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 5>but nothing ever came from it. Since then, my friend

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 5>has gone on several other dates.

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 6>Is seeing someone else, But.

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 5>I also just can't help but feel a bit guilty

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 5>that I'm now talking to this guy. So I guess

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 5>my question to the group chat is does one date

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 5>constitute me not speaking to this person because of my friend?

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 6>But how valuable is one date? Is that off limits?

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 5>Because I feel like everyone dates everyone, Everyone goes one

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 5>date with each other, you know?

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, I love you all by So I was there

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously in the flesh and plot twist, Oh the person?

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 2>How we're going to start with the plot twist? I'm

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 2>plot twisting. Let's started the podcast and it turns out also, sorry,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I keep doing like tangents, but everyone, I'm getting better

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 2>at telling stories. Would you say it's a long journey.

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>We've got one nod in the room.

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>We've collectively put in at least one hundred hours of talking.

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Unless is as god.

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.559
<v Speaker 3>As it and that I've got that's.

<v Speaker 2>So I said, don't say anything. He didn't end up

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>saying anything. What would have you done?

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 4>I am the type of person I only know loyalty

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 4>to my favorite people. That's my best friend, my soulmates,

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 4>and my mom, not even my siblings. I really dogs,

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 4>because you got to pick your favorites. And I know

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 4>my favorites hand on heart. And I'm not talking about

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 4>people that I'm happy to extend myself for, people I'm

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 4>happy to be polite to. When it comes to extreme

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 4>acts of loyalty, I reserve that for a fair few ight.

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm for this Robbie, he's not getting the call up?

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 2>Na na nah? What about Maxwell? Yeah nah?

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 3>They're my siblings right like, and they're just my sibling.

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what about you? But my mom?

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Like, that's my mom, that's my kin Like I ride

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 4>for her. You know what I'm saying. It's a different

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 4>dynamic respect my siblings. I'm a go to war for

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 4>my mom. You know what I'm saying.

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a bit different. So if it was like my

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 2>mom was like, I went on a.

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 4>Date with this guy, I really like you, I'd be like, Okay,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's the one day.

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to go there.

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 4>If it's like some if it's a friend of a

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 4>friend and it's one day, I don't It's not a

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 4>big deal to me, especially because you've been going on

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 4>other dates since and you're seeing someone new.

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't go mention it willy nilly, because you've gotta

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 3>be careful.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Not everybody is your friend, and not all information can

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 4>be shared freely because you never know who's going.

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 2>To grasp cut you in future.

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 4>You never know who has the power to make or

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 4>break what you want to come to fruition so badly.

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 4>So in this instance, I think Jack, your friend should

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 4>go on this date. Okay, I think they should. If

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 4>it happens to escalate, you don't go to Charlie and

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 4>ask for permission, you bring it up in a contact

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 4>and say, oh my god, isn't it so funny. I'm

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 4>also going to date with the guy that you went

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 4>on a date with a ha ha. And if for

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 4>some reason Charlie has an issue, then they can say, oh,

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 4>that's so strange. I would have thought it was inappropriate. Okay, Cool,

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 4>we're having the conversation now.

0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>No, no for next time, ask for forgive.

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but not even that. It's just like, provide some

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 4>context around I literally babes the pursuit of love. It's

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 4>not a game for the week.

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 4>And if I if I had to rule out every

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 4>single person that I had a minor interaction with, that

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 4>they had minor interactions with, I'm ruling out everyone, especially

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 4>in Sydney, especially in our friend groups, especially for the

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 4>type of people we are and the type of people

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 4>we date, there'd be no one.

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's look to the quick community.

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 4>For advice on how to do this, because every gay

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 4>guy I know, every lesbian I know is dating somebody's ex,

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 4>someone's best friend, someone's whatever.

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 3>You get through it, because what are people?

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Not property?

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>True, not property? Community, community, Share it around.

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Share what would you do or what advice did you give?

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 4>You said, not to say anything.

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't say anything at all. It's too fresh anway.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>They're not even been on a date. Yeah, exactly. You

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 2>might hate him. Yeah, there's nothing there and you know what,

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 2>You're right. You can't get in can't get in the

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 2>way of a little Sydney boothing. It's hard out here,

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not looking good.

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 4>But also in this instance, I feel like this is

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 4>why you can't be everybody's friend friend friend like that, because,

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 4>like I said before, my best friend has this. It's

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 4>not an affliction, but she has this. I'm gonna call

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 4>it an issue where she's loyal to a fault to anyone.

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Like.

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 4>She's a very open, accommodating, agreeable person. She feels everything

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 4>really deeply, and she can she can empathize really, really heavily.

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 4>So a party friend of ours might say, I really

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 4>like this guy, and like, you know, he doesn't really

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 4>like me, and so on and so on, and then

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 4>he's ruled out for my friend and my babes.

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Come on, we don't even know them like that.

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Take no prisoners, take no prisoners. Everyone's an option. Even

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 4>if they're dating someone else, they'll be single eventually and

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 4>I'll be there.

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>The divorce is are coming through flies on, She's on.

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 4>Be serious, people are I'm serious these days people are

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 4>leading with child play.

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 3>We're not in high school anymore. Get off it. I'm

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 3>getting upset.

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Brother, you are twenty four.

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 4>It's not yes, it's thanks for sharing.

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:13.199
<v Speaker 3>I do like that.

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 2>I like when you come with the voice notes. They're

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 2>always good. It's true.

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 4>I wonder what it be like to be your friend

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 4>knowing that, like when you think you're out and about

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 4>having a nice little drunk.

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Time like Rooms is like tell me the story. Wait,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.399
<v Speaker 3>can you voice for the party?

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I can't hate it, but everyone always loves it. Yeah,

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 2>fans are around the spot. They're rogue.

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 1>This is Flex and Frooms on Cada on Sunday.

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 2>The other day I did a live stream with Flume

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>for TikTok. It was a TikTok Flume collaboration, very exciting.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 2>One of the first ones done in Australia was four.

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 2>It's in ten years since his first album Flume. WHOA

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 2>So I will say half the live stream, we're having

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 2>a few demons about getting older and actually never thought

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>it was gonna be me. I was going to be

0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty four forever Alas. And of course I could tell

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 2>you all about the show, how it went great, how

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>we did lots of challenges. We did ice bucket challenge.

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.440
<v Speaker 2>I saw that we did mentos and coke. The one

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 2>thing that he wouldn't do is cinnamon challenge.

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>The point where we had a phone call before he

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, we're not doing cinnamon challenge.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Did you do it? No?

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, He's like, I don't want to vomit. That's fair,

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 2>fair enough, King. But on the way in the uber there,

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean the uber, and I had a massive bag

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.639
<v Speaker 2>full of light clothes because we're doing ice jackets, so

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I needed to change. And I brought my colleener Strata

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 2>two hundred dollar water bottle, yeah naturally wear and hair,

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 2>and I put it in the back of the uber

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, it's outside my bag. I'm just gonna

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 2>put it down, but I'll make sure I take it

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 2>out of the uber.

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know where this is going. It's not looking good, brother,

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 4>it stays in the uber. Come on through me. Quick pause,

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 4>quick pause for when fruminated. The personality test, The question

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 4>asks through do you always put your things where they belong?

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 4>Does everything have a place? Room says strongly agree, and

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 4>then begins to tell me that she thinks that personality

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 4>assessment doesn't work.

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's continue. Leave it in there obviously, get to the venue.

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 2>We start doing the run through and goes down. I'm thirsty.

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 2>The Kleena stride a body bottle is nowhere to be found.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm freaking out. I spent two hundred dollars. Literally, I

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 2>knew that. I knew it was a mistake, but I

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.919
<v Speaker 2>couldn't help myself calling over blah blah blah blah. I'm

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.880
<v Speaker 2>going to go pick it up later. However, Flume gets there.

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.159
<v Speaker 2>He's wearing a really beautiful fit. Okay, the feet was

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.439
<v Speaker 2>fitting all by ensemble, kind of like a Jackard jacket. Okay,

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>that's embossed new money. He's been successful for ten years.

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that's old money.

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 4>Sis, it is ten years old money. No, old money

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 4>is generational. When he has some kids and they have kids,

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 4>talk to me, all right, get him on the scene.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 6>I'll laugh.

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I've got his American number now. Oh wow, mean flame Bessies,

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Bessie bars and twins. Well yeah, in a livestrom, I

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 2>kept saying, oh, I'm with my big brother Flume, and

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 2>people like obviously TikTok people. I don't think they're very

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 2>well versed in so I don't know you like that

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 2>about that. It's like, wait, they're actually siblings, because Flume

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 2>does have a sister. Anyway, looking at his beautiful fit

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:24.439
<v Speaker 2>and he's got a T shirt and a black T

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 2>shirt with a beautiful rhyme stone applaque butterfly on the front,

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, oh my god, on the life chum,

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, whoa, where's that top from. He's like, I

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know, have a look at the tag kaleini strada

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>calleen strada coming in at all angles. It was a

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 2>slap in the face Nightmara. I'm so sorry, and I

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe it. It's like I keep manifesting all these

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 2>things and that was a big manifestation. But I will say,

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 2>get in the water bottle tonight. So everyone who's been

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>along with me with the water bottle saga, it will

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 2>be returning with me.

0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 3>And the driver for your mistake.

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Me's sending a terse am. So, guys, I think someone

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 2>stole my water butt.

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 4>The water bottle's gone missing, and somebody needs to reveal

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 4>its location.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Now, I you know what I was thinking. I have

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.439
<v Speaker 2>an air tag for my suitcase when I went to

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Europe Ripay you ner forget I think I need to

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.399
<v Speaker 2>affix the air tag to the water bottle. Yeah, I

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.919
<v Speaker 2>think that's what I need to do or carry a bag.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah blah blah.

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is flex and frooms.

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't like when I am the problem. Like as

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.880
<v Speaker 4>soon as I got my acrylics back on my fake nails,

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 4>I did it for a work shoot, and now I'm

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 4>dealing with the fact that it is not simple to

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.120
<v Speaker 4>live life with acrylic nails. I don't know what we've

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 4>been talking about as fake nail wearers. I can't scratch

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.679
<v Speaker 4>properly because the tips of my nails are are not sharp,

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 4>so I can't scratch using a hair brush to scratch

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 4>my body. Do you see what I'm saying. I can't

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 4>button my clothes properly. I'm suffering my seat but I

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 4>need to click it with my knuckle. I can't do fingers.

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 4>I hate that it's not sexy.

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like remember when there'd be those like Guinness Weld

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 2>record videos of the people with a really really long

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 2>nails and It's like, how do they wipe their ass?

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 2>How do you wipe your ass? You know I can do.

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.439
<v Speaker 2>These are only about a centimeter long, so I can

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>still make do.

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 4>But I'm saying that like my functionality is dropped by

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.159
<v Speaker 4>twenty five percent roughly, give or take. Like I was

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 4>saying though before you started calling out my name, I'm

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 4>going for it. I'm doing the knuckle scratched knuckle nostril.

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking a lot about whether being a good

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.439
<v Speaker 4>person is worth it? What does it even mean? And naturally,

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.680
<v Speaker 4>the FBI agent in my phone is like, say no more, babe.

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 4>I've got a thousand videos for you to watch on

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 4>this exact topic, and I'll love every single one of them.

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 4>So I want to share this one with you. Put

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 4>on your listening ears for this one. Put on your

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 4>comprehension hats. It is a little bit long, but it

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 4>is worth listening to being.

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 7>A good person worth it. I study at Harvard in

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 7>two thousand and nine called that into question. Let me

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:55.639
<v Speaker 7>ask you this, Do you think it a good character

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 7>will motivate others to treat you well?

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 6>Evidence suggests not.

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 3>The evidence suggests no good deed go unpunished.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 7>Psychologists Daniel Wagner and Kurt Gray ran an experiment to

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 7>see how ordinary folks treat people of varying moral reputation.

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 7>They divide his humanity at large into four moral categories,

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 7>good like mother Teresa, bad like Ted Bundy, neutral like

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.959
<v Speaker 7>a bank teller, and victims like orphans, for instance. Then

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 7>they took a survey after the participants were told to

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.640
<v Speaker 7>imagine a pill that creates pleasure, and half were told

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 7>the drug creates pain. Then they were each told they

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 7>have three of these pills, and they were asked to

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 7>divvy them up between different pairs of those moral types. So,

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 7>for instance, here are three pain pills, how are you

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 7>going to divide them up between the Dali Lama and

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:30.880
<v Speaker 7>an unknown.

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 6>High school teacher.

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 7>Some of the results were perfectly predictable. Ted Bundy got

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 7>more pain, orphans less, But there was a surprise in

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 7>the data. Who deserves more pleasure and less pain? The

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.879
<v Speaker 7>Dhali Lama or a random radiology tech, A good person

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 7>or the neutral person.

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 1>You'd think the good, right, That's not how.

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>It played out.

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 7>The good people were allocated less pleasure than the neutral

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:50.719
<v Speaker 7>nobody's and significantly more pain. Thus, the authors sardonically observe.

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 6>Virtue is its own punishment.

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 7>So there you have it, be principled at your own risky,

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:55.399
<v Speaker 7>Thanks for watching.

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm Abraham, Abraham. Shout out.

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to Abraham.

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 2>He's on Live for you. Do you hear what he's saying?

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 2>So what is that telling us?

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 5>There?

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 4>Really isn't that big of a reward being a good person, Because,

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:14.639
<v Speaker 4>like you started to mention before, through me continue.

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 2>As I was saying before, I think that people assume

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 2>that good people do it altruistically, and therefore they're getting

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 2>their little spikes of happiness from that fact alone. And

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I actually think I've got my own little cracky I

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 2>think that people who do good make neutral people feel bad.

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 2>For example, I'm a neutral person by design, by choice.

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:42.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm just doing whatever I want to do. Wouldn't say

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing anything to hurt anyone necessarily, If I do it,

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not intentional.

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Nah, they always say that one.

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 2>My intent was not to hurt. However, am I a

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 2>good person? I think it makes sense, Like when I

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 2>think about who I want to make happier, it's the

0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 2>neutral person who's going about their business, not trying to

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 2>be good, not making me feel bad. You know, they're

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:05.399
<v Speaker 2>just like one of me. I relate to the neutral person.

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Let that be a lesson.

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 4>I was raised by a very good person, the kind

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.119
<v Speaker 4>of person who goes out of their way to do

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 4>good things. And I love being amongst that because I

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 4>just get to be bad with my full chest. You

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying. But every now and then I

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:20.879
<v Speaker 4>do a good thing, and I say, this is not

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 4>good for branding. Okay, people are getting used to this.

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 4>People get used to it. I do one too many

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 4>designated drivers and everyone's like.

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 2>She's such a nice galea.

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 4>No, no, not me, not me. So the point of

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 4>that story is to say, well, not a story. It

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 4>was a study that overwhelmingly good people don't experience additional

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.360
<v Speaker 4>amounts of good from others because people might presume your

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 4>cup is already full, it overfloweth you don't need any

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 4>more of.

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>This good because you have so much you can give

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to others.

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Neutral people, however, are exactly that neutral and often experience

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 4>more good from the average person. Do that information what

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 4>you will shout out to all my neutral people?

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 5>Think?

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 2>It also relates before we cut, I'm ready to stop.

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to flex and frooms on Kada room.

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:12.679
<v Speaker 4>Just saw me rub my nostril with my knuckle. Here's

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 4>the thing, everyone, I was a pollen hay fever denier.

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 4>I've lived in Sydney's East my whole entire life. I've

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 4>never had any problems with pollen. People used to say

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.119
<v Speaker 4>they had hay fever. I used to say, you're just

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 4>sick and admit it. You've got the flu, You've got

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:28.920
<v Speaker 4>a cold, Okay.

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Stop lying.

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 4>And then last week I was in Sorry he was

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 4>doing a photo shoot and I was like, what is

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 4>this in the air?

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 3>What is this in the air?

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Is this a new new drop of species, a new bug?

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Turns out that's pollen. Since my first experience with it

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:43.439
<v Speaker 4>twenty four.

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Years on this earth, I've seen pollen in the flesh.

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 3>It is everywhere. Suddenly my eyes start tingling.

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 2>What's that?

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I start sneezing, my throat closes up.

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 4>I start doing some research. I don't go to Instagram store,

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I go to Google. I say what's up with the pollen?

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.920
<v Speaker 4>They said and don't quote me. I didn't fact check.

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:07.399
<v Speaker 4>But a combination of climate change lanina too much wet,

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 4>not enough dry means that there's been a pollen overproduction

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:13.640
<v Speaker 4>by about thirty to forty percent. Wow, Okay, think about

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:16.120
<v Speaker 4>the asthma havers. They're not well since children.

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 2>I have athma, oh asthma, and I'm fine, So I

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 2>reckon that's on you.

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, Have you been to Surrey Hills?

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I used Livingitary Hills.

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying in the last six six to nine months.

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying in the thick of it right now. Have

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 4>you been in the elements?

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I have? I really have. You know what I will

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 2>do the city divide Melbourne vest Sydney. When I go

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to Melbourne, I'm sneezing, coughing, goffer wing. I can't get

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 2>enough of that when I'm in Melbourne. So you know

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:45.400
<v Speaker 2>it could be a lot worse. Think about that way.

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Do I want to tell you about this fun fact?

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Did you read about? This is very much apure Alley

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 2>researchers have grown brain cells in a lab and successfully

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.639
<v Speaker 2>made them play pong hit a Mark King, there's something

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 2>you might need. You set it out too easy. You

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 2>said it out too easy. Oh my god. Well, I

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 2>feel like we talk about this human invention and interventional

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 2>lot on the show, and I read some of the

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 2>comments and someone's like, what are they going to do?

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>This poor game is going to become sentient because we

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 2>don't really understand how the brain works. Maybe the sense

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 2>of being alive is found in a single brain cell.

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:24.640
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about this development?

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 4>Let the new brain suffer. I don't see what the

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 4>issue is. I was so sorry. If we have made

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 4>these brain cells and they're suddenly sentient and their life

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 4>is playing ping pong. We're all in the same existence anyway.

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 4>They're doing ping pong, we're working. We all have to

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 4>suffer together. Oh that's really good, better than us. Do

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 4>you want to playing ping pong for science? You don't

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 4>want to do that?

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 2>True? I mean the work thing is a good shout exactly.

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 2>We all have our own I mean, they wouldn't know

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the outside world outside of pongs.

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I might argue we're suffering more than they are.

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.080
