Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is Deflex and
Speaker 1: Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, the eighteenth of July and Babes, I
Speaker 2: am happy to inform you that the vibes have remained
Speaker 2: up definitely.
Speaker 1: People thought winter.
Speaker 2: Was going to take the girl who's out. He said, oh,
Speaker 2: you won't be outside or winter. You can't maintain this
Speaker 2: energy for winter.
Speaker 3: The heat here, I hope you ready to think.
Speaker 1: I feel like the energy is higher than it was
Speaker 1: in summer.
Speaker 3: I think it's like a chemical reaction or like batteries
Speaker 3: that charge when one is cold and one is hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely solar powered. Today, should friends fight like sisters?
Speaker 3: And also what words are embarrassing to say? I'm looking
Speaker 3: at everyone who doesn't want to say fiance when they
Speaker 3: are betrothed and hath a ring on their finger?
Speaker 1: And also partner shaming for me? Will do letter?
Speaker 3: Here's a podcast you're listening to Flex and Frooms on kit.
Speaker 2: Do friends need to fight like sisters? It's the question
Speaker 2: we're answering today on Flex and Rooms. A couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Now, I as the only person in the
Speaker 2: shoe who doesn't have a sister. I am the minority
Speaker 2: in more ways than one.
Speaker 1: But we make it work. Okay.
Speaker 2: Now the sisterly girls are convinced that, you know, having
Speaker 2: a sister is great, it makes you a great friend.
Speaker 1: Whatever. Someone on TikTok tended to.
Speaker 2: Disagree and said, actually, the best friends you can have
Speaker 2: are younger siblings and only siblings. Now, somebody, and by somebody,
Speaker 2: I mean an amazing listener has dmd us on Instagram's
Speaker 2: at flex and rooms.
Speaker 1: To say this, I'm high. I have two sisters.
Speaker 2: The relationships can be intense, but as much as you
Speaker 2: would hate them, sometimes you would always have their back
Speaker 2: to others and love them. I think it's more powerful
Speaker 2: to be able to have deeper relationships with others that
Speaker 2: are real, not just surface level.
Speaker 1: Are we.
Speaker 2: Attributing violence to being genuine? H? This will take me
Speaker 2: to how I'm trying to. I mean, I wouldn't say
Speaker 2: abolish the word authentic with people often like to merge
Speaker 2: authenticity with good displays of behavior. Yeah, like, if someone's
Speaker 2: being really sweet or humorous, they must be authors. The
Speaker 2: most authentic person in the room is the bully. Babe
Speaker 2: is the one who like laughter, You like this when
Speaker 2: you said something wrong, when you miss that's the most authentic.
Speaker 3: Perfe my bag called bully. I want to spray on
Speaker 3: you later.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, babe, that's so sweet.
Speaker 2: Look, I feel like I can see in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways how the kind of intimacy of a sicily
Speaker 2: relationship can transition quite well into female friendships. But I
Speaker 2: think for the most part, any default woman friendship comes
Speaker 2: prepackaged with the ability to get deep. Really, I think
Speaker 2: as a standard any default relationship with the women to women,
Speaker 2: I think you have the capacity to get deep. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's a premium package. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: a premium add on. I think it's you know, it's
Speaker 2: in the economy tear kind. And I don't think we
Speaker 2: need more to get more deep. I think we need
Speaker 2: more variation in women friendships. I think we can tend
Speaker 2: to follow this like really clear archetype and there's not
Speaker 2: a lot of room for deviation. We won't get into
Speaker 2: it now because I think the sister propaganda has gone
Speaker 2: to but if you have any strong thoughts about this,
Speaker 2: I do invite it because I'd like to be able
Speaker 2: to say that we're bringing in multiple opinions, not just
Speaker 2: our own. Plus Mickey, so Flex and Frooms on Instagram
Speaker 2: is where you'll find us. Please go visit, go rant.
Speaker 2: I'd love to see them.
Speaker 3: Our producer Mikayla. It's your birthday today.
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Mickey. Fans of Mickey people are obsessed with
Speaker 1: Nicky twenty five. Yeah, this is twenty.
Speaker 3: Five, guys, we're all twenty four here.
Speaker 1: This is a perfect time to announce everyone.
Speaker 2: So we walk into the office today, I see some
Speaker 2: lone children. As you know, I'm a children person and
Speaker 2: an animal person.
Speaker 1: If they're hot and.
Speaker 2: They like me, I went up to these kids, did
Speaker 2: a little bit of a debrief, chit chat, feed out
Speaker 2: what they do for fun, and then I asked them
Speaker 2: how old they were, because after the age of two,
Speaker 2: I can't really tell word.
Speaker 1: They both said seven. I said, great, age you two?
Speaker 1: How do you think I am? They said twenty four?
Speaker 1: Is it cool? Let's go with that.
Speaker 3: Leave me out of it.
Speaker 2: I turned their gaze to frumy, why are you doing
Speaker 2: this because I didn't concern.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't want to leave you out. They
Speaker 1: could have said twenty one. Okay, but you know what
Speaker 1: they're gonna say. No, I sent me don't no, no,
Speaker 1: don't do that, No, you don't.
Speaker 2: As I was turn around to these kids, he said,
Speaker 2: how do you think through me?
Speaker 3: Is? Why does?
Speaker 1: What did their parents say?
Speaker 2: And remember what we say when you're asked to say
Speaker 2: how old woman is? So she's already up, she's up,
Speaker 2: pretty emptied, that decrepit and decayed.
Speaker 1: So then one of the kids says, what age? They
Speaker 1: said to your face?
Speaker 3: Twenty three?
Speaker 1: Twenty three?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So then I said, in confidence to them, what age
Speaker 2: did you really want to say.
Speaker 1: In front of the whole office. Yes, it was in confidence.
Speaker 2: They're small. I had to speak up. Okay, one said
Speaker 2: I've forgotten now good. I think one was forty four
Speaker 2: and one was like thirty two.
Speaker 3: Confident a confident older woman.
Speaker 1: They read you correct? Is that I'm getting like a man. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I love that for you.
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Mickey, Sorry from a derailed back for you.
Speaker 3: From every witch angle.
Speaker 1: What do you want for your birthday? Conceptually, I don't mind.
Speaker 3: I just want my friends and family and everyone I love. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I say.
Speaker 1: But she is a cancer. She means that what are
Speaker 1: you going to order the bread? Oby? Yeah? But what else?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Pas don't get a takeaway Horrible.
Speaker 2: And Toddy's Survives Takeaway. I've made the mistake. Order what
Speaker 2: you can eat please.
Speaker 3: I so sort of say, somebody is called into the
Speaker 3: show to say that they find the word fiance deeply,
Speaker 3: deeply shameful and embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Can I ask a quick question, please? Class?
Speaker 2: Is this one of like fake hetero shame things like
Speaker 2: when straight people pretend they don't want to be straight
Speaker 2: and they're not attracted to You.
Speaker 3: Came for my bit? Oh you came.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry seeing all of you his partner so liberally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no business staying laye with that one.
Speaker 3: You've been seeing him for three months? No, sorry, you've
Speaker 3: been seeing him for a year.
Speaker 1: Gender him.
Speaker 3: He's not your partner.
Speaker 1: Okay, gender him.
Speaker 3: But I'm being serious.
Speaker 1: What's the term?
Speaker 3: Laughing?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Laughing like you trust me?
Speaker 3: If and when the time comes, I'll be referring to
Speaker 3: my king as my boyfriend, my betrothed.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Okay.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like my king my king, I mean, but
Speaker 3: that could be like any gender. Seriously, though, guys, get
Speaker 3: we're saying fiance. It's romantic. Okay, We're not in primary school.
Speaker 3: This isn't embarrassing boyfriend or girlfriend. I want to be
Speaker 3: someone's partner. We're not in a row deo. You see
Speaker 3: you with a cowboy hat on no fam, get it
Speaker 3: out of my life. You're with flex and frimes on CATA.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was with this conversation, though, we
Speaker 2: could just spin back. I'd like to speak on behalf
Speaker 2: fucking I'd like to speak on behalf of people who
Speaker 2: don't have a voice today. Okay, I have heard through
Speaker 2: the grape vine that boyfriend and girlfriend is a little
Speaker 2: bit juvenile for those over the age of maybe twenty eight?
Speaker 1: What say you?
Speaker 3: Pardon? Are you going to come back and say I
Speaker 3: forwenty four ACADs? I'm just stopping.
Speaker 1: Can you speak to what it was like when you
Speaker 1: were twenty eight?
Speaker 3: The other day someone was like to me, They're like,
Speaker 3: they're like, have you had any do.
Speaker 1: You want to write it down and we can read
Speaker 1: it out, Like did.
Speaker 3: You have like a really big life change when you
Speaker 3: turned twenty nine to thirty?
Speaker 1: I said enough, because.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows it's customary to readers at least two to
Speaker 2: three years younger than what you actually like. You know,
Speaker 2: not in the friends experience, but you're unique, correct, continue,
Speaker 2: boyfriend and girlfriend a juvenile term?
Speaker 1: Do you disagree?
Speaker 3: I think partner's juvenile because let's stop laughing, guys, we're
Speaker 3: not mad. What is it? It's not the factor, like
Speaker 3: it's fine, it's fine to be straight. Yeah, straight pride.
Speaker 2: I have seen floating around on the internet by virtue
Speaker 2: of a TikTok about this girl talking about this guy
Speaker 2: that she'd been on thirteen dates with. He wants to
Speaker 2: be exclusive. She says yes, then takes it back and says, actually,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be exclusive with you.
Speaker 1: But she was a skirlfriend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she was infriend to him as her man friend,
Speaker 2: and people thought that was really childish.
Speaker 3: I think that's like toy boy energy.
Speaker 1: Okay, man okay.
Speaker 3: Man friend is like your wife.
Speaker 1: Your husband's died, like it's giving widowa.
Speaker 3: So you don't want the kids to be upset seeking
Speaker 3: a man friend.
Speaker 1: Okay. We've all been there in some way, we've all
Speaker 1: seen it done. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just finally search up the argument.
Speaker 2: Rioms is twenty twenty three in it's boyfriend and girlfriend.
Speaker 3: If you are straight, I want to be called someone's girlfriend.
Speaker 1: That's a crux.
Speaker 2: So is should we lead with that, I.
Speaker 1: Want everyone to go down with me.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's all on be serious Flex and Frooms on Kidas.
Speaker 2: Mister Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg waited almost twenty years to ruin
Speaker 2: Elon Musk's life, and he did so this year the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three with the introduction of his new Twitter
Speaker 2: copy app, Threads, and we're discussing everything you need to
Speaker 2: know about it right now on the Flex and Room
Speaker 2: Show on Cada.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 2: If you aren't someone who is hip and savvy on
Speaker 2: the Internet and you don't find yourself quite enthused on
Speaker 2: new improvement and innovations, you might not know about Threads.
Speaker 2: But basically, it's Instagram's version of Twitter without a lot
Speaker 2: of functions. You can't edit your post, you can't save posts.
Speaker 2: It's no Explore, but you know it's new. Instagram describes
Speaker 2: it as an app for sharing text updates and joining
Speaker 2: public convers stas. You basically log in using your Instagram account,
Speaker 2: which initially feels like a really easy and nice way
Speaker 2: to approach the platform. You don't need to worry about
Speaker 2: picking a username and editing and all that stuff. It's
Speaker 2: just like sign in and you're done. Here's the thing,
Speaker 2: all this information you can find on the internet. I
Speaker 2: want to give you my pros and cons as an
Speaker 2: early adopter over the app and someone who's doing quite well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many followers?
Speaker 1: Not sure?
Speaker 2: Okay, but great engagement pros. It's a really simplified approach
Speaker 2: to social media. It's got none of the like whistles
Speaker 2: and bells. It's just share the text.
Speaker 1: Posts.
Speaker 2: Images are a bit too much, video is way too much,
Speaker 2: don't do too much. It honestly feels like a place
Speaker 2: to put your stream of consciousness. You get the choice
Speaker 2: to automatically follow anyone you already follow on Instagram, so
Speaker 2: you don't need to spend ages curating like you do
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Twitter is a very tricky place to be
Speaker 2: if you haven't found your community. It works like Twitter, though,
Speaker 2: so if you're already on Twitter, you don't have to
Speaker 2: kind of learn in new interface to understand how to
Speaker 2: do well on platform. There are no ads. That's a
Speaker 2: big one for people. There are no ads yet because
Speaker 2: you know what exactly going to do.
Speaker 1: Cons. The experience you have on threads is very tied to.
Speaker 2: Your current Instagram experience, So if you decide to follow
Speaker 2: the exact same people you're bringing everything you hate about Instagram,
Speaker 2: if it's the people into this new space, which isn't ideal.
Speaker 2: There's no explore, so you have to search for what
Speaker 2: you want to see, and you can only search user
Speaker 2: names and not hashtags, which again how much to join
Speaker 2: in the conversation. The privacy practices are like real strange, man,
Speaker 2: You got to you got to agree to it before
Speaker 2: you sign up, which just fine, but it's tied into
Speaker 2: your Instagram and like you can't delete your threads profile
Speaker 2: without deleting your Instagram. You can only deactivate, so like
Speaker 2: that data is stuck there for a lay if you
Speaker 2: just delete it all though delete.
Speaker 1: What delete all?
Speaker 2: The You can delete your posts, but they're still like
Speaker 2: the metadata. Like someone's quote tweeted your original post. I'm
Speaker 2: sure it's going to be they're in the etherm. You
Speaker 2: can't edit your posts. Your algorithm is like a mesh
Speaker 2: of people you've chosen to follow, but also pre generated suggestions,
Speaker 2: which means that somehow Instagram is making an assessment on
Speaker 2: what they think you might like, and they could be
Speaker 2: very wrong.
Speaker 1: But what are you gonna do about it?
Speaker 2: And I mean, at this point, people have speculated it's
Speaker 2: destined to be like be Real, It's gonna have this
Speaker 2: big buzz, this big pandemonium, and fall off into obscurity.
Speaker 1: It's agree it's too far in.
Speaker 2: Because it's a copy of an app that already works,
Speaker 2: just like Instagram Stories was a copy of Snapchat, just
Speaker 2: like Reels is a copy of TikTok. It's gonna work
Speaker 2: because it's been done before and I think people like
Speaker 2: the feeling of getting into something new. And also it's
Speaker 2: a concept older than Twitter. It's like just posting Facebook statuses,
Speaker 2: which we all did with ease.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I for one, I'm a big fan of Threads. If
Speaker 2: you're around for be Real Era, you know that I
Speaker 2: roast that app to pieces. I feel very good about Threads,
Speaker 2: and I'll back it.
Speaker 3: You have been very I mean, Threads was kind of
Speaker 3: made for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's my kind of platform. I don't want to
Speaker 2: post pictures, I don't want to post videos.
Speaker 1: I just want to do.
Speaker 3: Worries, p rebrand, rebrand. It's in fluence, so it is
Speaker 3: flex and it's rooms flex and Kim Kim oh part
Speaker 3: of me. Yes, guys, I am the second coming of
Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian. It is me through me speaking right now.
Speaker 3: Never did I think I'd have that much in common
Speaker 3: with I would say the premier Kardashian. Yeah, if I
Speaker 3: think what would we have in common? We both have
Speaker 3: dark hair, yeap and dark eyebrows, we're both like princesses,
Speaker 3: I would say, mm hmm. I think she is an
Speaker 3: intelligent queen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, business women, business one.
Speaker 3: Yes. Anyway, tell me why. About two weeks ago, I
Speaker 3: looked down at my stomach and there's some red patches occurring. Scabies? Literally,
Speaker 3: I thought, is this scaby?
Speaker 4: Na?
Speaker 1: Don't bring that energy into the room.
Speaker 3: It's definitely not scabies. Okay, However, I noticed some red
Speaker 3: red things. Send it to my mum like welts, like scratches.
Speaker 1: What are we talking like?
Speaker 3: Little tiny red patches? Right? And I show my mom.
Speaker 3: She's like, oh, you should go to the doctor. Check
Speaker 3: it out.
Speaker 1: Mum's a nurse.
Speaker 3: My mum's nurses. She often doesn't tell me to go
Speaker 3: to the doctor, but she's like, you should check it out.
Speaker 3: But again, seem really low key about it. Okay, And
Speaker 3: then you know, another week pass, a few more dots occur.
Speaker 3: Now they're a little bit on my legs. A couple
Speaker 3: of my arms, a bit on my chest.
Speaker 1: You're freaking out at this point.
Speaker 3: No, no, not even and I usually, I mean I
Speaker 3: should be. I end up going to the doctor. The
Speaker 3: doctor takes one look at me.
Speaker 1: Oh, she's a oh.
Speaker 3: He says, you have ciriasis.
Speaker 4: Kimmy has Price has siasis, skies. Okay, please if you
Speaker 4: know what cirius is, it is essentially when your skin
Speaker 4: rebuilds like too fast.
Speaker 3: So every month skin sheds. Now there's little tiny patches
Speaker 3: on my body that are going grow, grow, grow, grow,
Speaker 3: and what results is little tiny kind of red marks.
Speaker 3: There's all different types of ciriasis, right, There's like the
Speaker 3: big one where skin goes heats and it goes like
Speaker 3: gray and scaly. I have something called gut et crisis.
Speaker 3: Have you heard of it? No, it's usually the type
Speaker 3: that children and people under thirty gets. So yes, even
Speaker 3: though some children today guess because of flex that I
Speaker 3: was forty four years.
Speaker 1: Old, should we quickly get into it later.
Speaker 3: Triggering I didn't give you permission to ask children what
Speaker 3: my age is. Actually I'm a little bit.
Speaker 2: Upset by that, but tiny bit. When we rehash it
Speaker 2: after the break, then decide how.
Speaker 1: You fully feel.
Speaker 3: Maybe not.
Speaker 1: Don't mourn what hasn't occurred.
Speaker 3: So over my trunk are these little time of patches
Speaker 3: last gray flecks?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, really really tiny? Okay, I see yep, yeah.
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure what they are, but she looked at
Speaker 3: me straight away allegedly, you get it after having strip throat.
Speaker 1: You had strep throat.
Speaker 3: Well, remember about three weeks ago you were studio and.
Speaker 2: I was sick, and we were wearing masks because I
Speaker 2: was like, this girl is not about to make me sick.
Speaker 3: And then what like a week or two later, the
Speaker 3: gut eate serrisis begins to spread.
Speaker 1: How do you get strap throat?
Speaker 3: Oh, somebody gave me show throat. I do have an
Speaker 3: idea considering messaging them, but these nah, I see.
Speaker 1: Too far gone?
Speaker 3: Do me?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: They want to know. Plus, I think if you have
Speaker 3: stripped throat, it's only certain people that get it. My
Speaker 3: dad has crisis. He's got like the actual crisis that
Speaker 3: you get.
Speaker 1: That's like, don't actual crisis.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, I'm just coming to with my diagnosis. I
Speaker 3: don't know when it's going to go away. I will admit, guys,
Speaker 3: I actually understand now. I used to think Kim Kardashian
Speaker 3: is like overreacting, like sorisis isn't that bad? But I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: it actually sucks. Like I'm scared for someone to because
Speaker 3: people will say, oh my god, is it scabies? Like
Speaker 3: is it contagious. There's a lot of I thought maybe
Speaker 3: crisis was contagious. It's not. It's not contagious, and we.
Speaker 1: Like the teachable moment.
Speaker 3: I'm currently using some like cortisol cream. It's not working.
Speaker 3: I've also trying to be getting in the sun and
Speaker 3: showing my belly in the sun to try and like
Speaker 3: get some on it. But if anybody has any for
Speaker 3: gut eate sorisis or really any kind of crisis, can
Speaker 3: you please give me tips. I'm not ready to change
Speaker 3: my diet. I'm not going down that route. I don't
Speaker 3: care that much topical topical topic remedies on perhaps like
Speaker 3: some sort of shot. I just want to have clear
Speaker 3: skin again. Yeah, because do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I feel you my brain. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 3: thanks guys.
