<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is Deflex and

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 2>It is Tuesday, the eighteenth of July and Babes, I

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>am happy to inform you that the vibes have remained

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 2>up definitely.

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>People thought winter.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Was going to take the girl who's out. He said, oh,

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>you won't be outside or winter. You can't maintain this

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:20.959
<v Speaker 2>energy for winter.

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 3>The heat here, I hope you ready to think.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the energy is higher than it was

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in summer.

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it's like a chemical reaction or like batteries

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 3>that charge when one is cold and one is hot.

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's definitely solar powered. Today, should friends fight like sisters?

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 3>And also what words are embarrassing to say? I'm looking

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 3>at everyone who doesn't want to say fiance when they

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>are betrothed and hath a ring on their finger?

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>And also partner shaming for me? Will do letter?

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Here's a podcast you're listening to Flex and Frooms on kit.

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Do friends need to fight like sisters? It's the question

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>we're answering today on Flex and Rooms. A couple of

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago. Now, I as the only person in the

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>shoe who doesn't have a sister. I am the minority

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>in more ways than one.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>But we make it work. Okay.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Now the sisterly girls are convinced that, you know, having

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>a sister is great, it makes you a great friend.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Whatever. Someone on TikTok tended to.

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Disagree and said, actually, the best friends you can have

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>are younger siblings and only siblings. Now, somebody, and by somebody,

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean an amazing listener has dmd us on Instagram's

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>at flex and rooms.

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>To say this, I'm high. I have two sisters.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>The relationships can be intense, but as much as you

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>would hate them, sometimes you would always have their back

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>to others and love them. I think it's more powerful

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to be able to have deeper relationships with others that

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>are real, not just surface level.

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Are we.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Attributing violence to being genuine? H? This will take me

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>to how I'm trying to. I mean, I wouldn't say

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>abolish the word authentic with people often like to merge

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>authenticity with good displays of behavior. Yeah, like, if someone's

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>being really sweet or humorous, they must be authors. The

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>most authentic person in the room is the bully. Babe

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>is the one who like laughter, You like this when

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>you said something wrong, when you miss that's the most authentic.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Perfe my bag called bully. I want to spray on

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>you later.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh thank you, babe, that's so sweet.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Look, I feel like I can see in a lot

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of ways how the kind of intimacy of a sicily

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>relationship can transition quite well into female friendships. But I

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 2>think for the most part, any default woman friendship comes

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.799
<v Speaker 2>prepackaged with the ability to get deep. Really, I think

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 2>as a standard any default relationship with the women to women,

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I think you have the capacity to get deep. I

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's a premium package. I don't think it's

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>a premium add on. I think it's you know, it's

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 2>in the economy tear kind. And I don't think we

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>need more to get more deep. I think we need

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>more variation in women friendships. I think we can tend

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>to follow this like really clear archetype and there's not

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of room for deviation. We won't get into

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>it now because I think the sister propaganda has gone

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 2>to but if you have any strong thoughts about this,

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I do invite it because I'd like to be able

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>to say that we're bringing in multiple opinions, not just

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>our own. Plus Mickey, so Flex and Frooms on Instagram

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>is where you'll find us. Please go visit, go rant.

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to see them.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Our producer Mikayla. It's your birthday today.

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, Mickey. Fans of Mickey people are obsessed with

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Nicky twenty five. Yeah, this is twenty.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Five, guys, we're all twenty four here.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>This is a perfect time to announce everyone.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>So we walk into the office today, I see some

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 2>lone children. As you know, I'm a children person and

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 2>an animal person.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>If they're hot and.

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>They like me, I went up to these kids, did

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a debrief, chit chat, feed out

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 2>what they do for fun, and then I asked them

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>how old they were, because after the age of two,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't really tell word.

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>They both said seven. I said, great, age you two?

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>How do you think I am? They said twenty four?

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Is it cool? Let's go with that.

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Leave me out of it.

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I turned their gaze to frumy, why are you doing

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>this because I didn't concern.

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I didn't want to leave you out. They

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>could have said twenty one. Okay, but you know what

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna say. No, I sent me don't no, no,

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>don't do that, No, you don't.

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>As I was turn around to these kids, he said,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>how do you think through me?

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Is? Why does?

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>What did their parents say?

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And remember what we say when you're asked to say

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>how old woman is? So she's already up, she's up,

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty emptied, that decrepit and decayed.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>So then one of the kids says, what age? They

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>said to your face?

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Twenty three?

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Twenty three?

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 2>So then I said, in confidence to them, what age

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 2>did you really want to say.

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>In front of the whole office. Yes, it was in confidence.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>They're small. I had to speak up. Okay, one said

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I've forgotten now good. I think one was forty four

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>and one was like thirty two.

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 3>Confident a confident older woman.

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>They read you correct? Is that I'm getting like a man. Anyway,

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:11.960

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>not in the friends experience, but you're unique, correct, continue,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend and girlfriend a juvenile term?

0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you disagree?

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 3>I think partner's juvenile because let's stop laughing, guys, we're

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 3>not mad. What is it? It's not the factor, like

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 3>it's fine, it's fine to be straight. Yeah, straight pride.

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I have seen floating around on the internet by virtue

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.559
<v Speaker 2>of a TikTok about this girl talking about this guy

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>that she'd been on thirteen dates with. He wants to

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>be exclusive. She says yes, then takes it back and says, actually,

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be exclusive with you.

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>But she was a skirlfriend.

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but she was infriend to him as her man friend,

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and people thought that was really childish.

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I think that's like toy boy energy.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, man okay.

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Man friend is like your wife.

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Your husband's died, like it's giving widowa.

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 3>So you don't want the kids to be upset seeking

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 3>a man friend.

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay. We've all been there in some way, we've all

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 1>seen it done. Yeah.

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll just finally search up the argument.

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Rioms is twenty twenty three in it's boyfriend and girlfriend.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 3>If you are straight, I want to be called someone's girlfriend.

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a crux.

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>So is should we lead with that, I.

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Want everyone to go down with me.

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's all on be serious Flex and Frooms on Kidas.

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Mister Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg waited almost twenty years to ruin

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk's life, and he did so this year the

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three with the introduction of his new Twitter

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 2>copy app, Threads, and we're discussing everything you need to

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 2>know about it right now on the Flex and Room

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Show on Cada.

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Listen.

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>If you aren't someone who is hip and savvy on

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the Internet and you don't find yourself quite enthused on

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 2>new improvement and innovations, you might not know about Threads.

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>But basically, it's Instagram's version of Twitter without a lot

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>of functions. You can't edit your post, you can't save posts.

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 2>It's no Explore, but you know it's new. Instagram describes

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>it as an app for sharing text updates and joining

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>public convers stas. You basically log in using your Instagram account,

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 2>which initially feels like a really easy and nice way

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>to approach the platform. You don't need to worry about

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>picking a username and editing and all that stuff. It's

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 2>just like sign in and you're done. Here's the thing,

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>all this information you can find on the internet. I

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>want to give you my pros and cons as an

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>early adopter over the app and someone who's doing quite well.

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how many followers?

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Not sure?

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but great engagement pros. It's a really simplified approach

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 2>to social media. It's got none of the like whistles

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>and bells. It's just share the text.

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Posts.

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Images are a bit too much, video is way too much,

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 2>don't do too much. It honestly feels like a place

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to put your stream of consciousness. You get the choice

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to automatically follow anyone you already follow on Instagram, so

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you don't need to spend ages curating like you do

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter. Twitter is a very tricky place to be

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't found your community. It works like Twitter, though,

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 2>so if you're already on Twitter, you don't have to

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of learn in new interface to understand how to

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 2>do well on platform. There are no ads. That's a

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 2>big one for people. There are no ads yet because

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>you know what exactly going to do.

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Cons. The experience you have on threads is very tied to.

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Your current Instagram experience, So if you decide to follow

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the exact same people you're bringing everything you hate about Instagram,

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>if it's the people into this new space, which isn't ideal.

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>There's no explore, so you have to search for what

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you want to see, and you can only search user

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>names and not hashtags, which again how much to join

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 2>in the conversation. The privacy practices are like real strange, man,

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.680
<v Speaker 2>You got to you got to agree to it before

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 2>you sign up, which just fine, but it's tied into

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 2>your Instagram and like you can't delete your threads profile

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 2>without deleting your Instagram. You can only deactivate, so like

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>that data is stuck there for a lay if you

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 2>just delete it all though delete.

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>What delete all?

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 2>The You can delete your posts, but they're still like

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 2>the metadata. Like someone's quote tweeted your original post. I'm

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>sure it's going to be they're in the etherm. You

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.439
<v Speaker 2>can't edit your posts. Your algorithm is like a mesh

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of people you've chosen to follow, but also pre generated suggestions,

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 2>which means that somehow Instagram is making an assessment on

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 2>what they think you might like, and they could be

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 2>very wrong.

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But what are you gonna do about it?

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.319
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, at this point, people have speculated it's

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>destined to be like be Real, It's gonna have this

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>big buzz, this big pandemonium, and fall off into obscurity.

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>It's agree it's too far in.

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Because it's a copy of an app that already works,

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 2>just like Instagram Stories was a copy of Snapchat, just

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>like Reels is a copy of TikTok. It's gonna work

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>because it's been done before and I think people like

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the feeling of getting into something new. And also it's

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a concept older than Twitter. It's like just posting Facebook statuses,

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>which we all did with ease.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I for one, I'm a big fan of Threads. If

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you're around for be Real Era, you know that I

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 2>roast that app to pieces. I feel very good about Threads,

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'll back it.

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 3>You have been very I mean, Threads was kind of

0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 3>made for you.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's my kind of platform. I don't want to

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 2>post pictures, I don't want to post videos.

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 1>I just want to do.

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Worries, p rebrand, rebrand. It's in fluence, so it is

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 3>flex and it's rooms flex and Kim Kim oh part

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 3>of me. Yes, guys, I am the second coming of

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Kim Kardashian. It is me through me speaking right now.

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Never did I think I'd have that much in common

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 3>with I would say the premier Kardashian. Yeah, if I

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 3>think what would we have in common? We both have

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 3>dark hair, yeap and dark eyebrows, we're both like princesses,

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I would say, mm hmm. I think she is an

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 3>intelligent queen.

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, business women, business one.

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Anyway, tell me why. About two weeks ago, I

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 3>looked down at my stomach and there's some red patches occurring. Scabies? Literally,

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>I thought, is this scaby?

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Na?

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't bring that energy into the room.

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely not scabies. Okay, However, I noticed some red

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 3>red things. Send it to my mum like welts, like scratches.

0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>What are we talking like?

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.839
<v Speaker 3>Little tiny red patches? Right? And I show my mom.

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 3>She's like, oh, you should go to the doctor. Check

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:03.319
<v Speaker 3>it out.

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Mum's a nurse.

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 3>My mum's nurses. She often doesn't tell me to go

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 3>to the doctor, but she's like, you should check it out.

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 3>But again, seem really low key about it. Okay, And

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 3>then you know, another week pass, a few more dots occur.

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Now they're a little bit on my legs. A couple

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 3>of my arms, a bit on my chest.

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>You're freaking out at this point.

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 3>No, no, not even and I usually, I mean I

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 3>should be. I end up going to the doctor. The

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 3>doctor takes one look at me.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she's a oh.

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 3>He says, you have ciriasis.

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Kimmy has Price has siasis, skies. Okay, please if you

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 4>know what cirius is, it is essentially when your skin

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 4>rebuilds like too fast.

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 3>So every month skin sheds. Now there's little tiny patches

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 3>on my body that are going grow, grow, grow, grow,

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 3>and what results is little tiny kind of red marks.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 3>There's all different types of ciriasis, right, There's like the

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 3>big one where skin goes heats and it goes like

0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>gray and scaly. I have something called gut et crisis.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard of it? No, it's usually the type

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 3>that children and people under thirty gets. So yes, even

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 3>though some children today guess because of flex that I

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 3>was forty four years.

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Old, should we quickly get into it later.

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Triggering I didn't give you permission to ask children what

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 3>my age is. Actually I'm a little bit.

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Upset by that, but tiny bit. When we rehash it

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>after the break, then decide how.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>You fully feel.

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe not.

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Don't mourn what hasn't occurred.

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 3>So over my trunk are these little time of patches

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 3>last gray flecks?

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, really really tiny? Okay, I see yep, yeah.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't sure what they are, but she looked at

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 3>me straight away allegedly, you get it after having strip throat.

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>You had strep throat.

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, remember about three weeks ago you were studio and.

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I was sick, and we were wearing masks because I

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, this girl is not about to make me sick.

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 3>And then what like a week or two later, the

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 3>gut eate serrisis begins to spread.

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>How do you get strap throat?

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, somebody gave me show throat. I do have an

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 3>idea considering messaging them, but these nah, I see.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Too far gone?

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Do me?

<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.600

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 3>stripped throat, it's only certain people that get it. My

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.960

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 3>you get.

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>That's like, don't actual crisis.

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.880

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 3>don't know when it's going to go away. I will admit, guys,

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I actually understand now. I used to think Kim Kardashian

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 3>is like overreacting, like sorisis isn't that bad? But I'm like, no,

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 3>it actually sucks. Like I'm scared for someone to because

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 3>people will say, oh my god, is it scabies? Like

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 3>is it contagious. There's a lot of I thought maybe

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 3>crisis was contagious. It's not. It's not contagious, and we.
