Speaker 1: Plead, Flex and Frooms, Flex and Fromes. This is the
Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: There's been a meme, or what I would like to
Speaker 2: call an original moral dilemma floating around the internet since
Speaker 2: at least I don't know, Freeman is better with dates
Speaker 2: than I am, but I tiny twelve. I want to
Speaker 2: say twenty twelve, if not longer. And I don't think
Speaker 2: it was intended to be a joke, but I think
Speaker 2: that's what happens a lot of memes. Someone's being earnest
Speaker 2: and then they're taken out of context and then we
Speaker 2: make fun of them. Would you rather five hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars cash in your hands right now or dinner with
Speaker 2: jay Z?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: For most people, the answer is obvious, or is it not?
Speaker 2: It has been alongside is the dress blue or yellow
Speaker 2: or orange and silver?
Speaker 3: Whatever the thing is.
Speaker 2: It has been one of the most contentiously debated pop
Speaker 2: culture topics ever because it kind of unearths all of
Speaker 2: these undercover boy bosses who really believe that if they
Speaker 2: could get in the room with jay Z, they would
Speaker 2: be able to extract so much value you that what
Speaker 2: they would do with that value would supersede the five
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars cash.
Speaker 4: I would love to know what they think about jay
Speaker 4: Z's gonna tell them.
Speaker 2: Maybe, what do you think jay Z's going to tell
Speaker 2: you over dinner as well? Like, let's say it's a
Speaker 2: long dinner, it's a nice three and a half four
Speaker 2: hour session.
Speaker 3: What do you really think he's going to share with you?
Speaker 2: In particular that you now have the access and the
Speaker 2: resources and the time and the energy and the support
Speaker 2: to do anything with that information. Regardless, Let's take the
Speaker 2: question seriously, what would you pick for me?
Speaker 4: Do you want to guess on my behalf? Do you
Speaker 4: wanna make do you wanna make I guess?
Speaker 1: Set me up?
Speaker 2: Just imagine like, of course it's like okay for me's
Speaker 2: gonna take the cash. But I don't know Formy's commitment
Speaker 2: to a bit. I think she would take it further
Speaker 2: than the average person. And I can just imagine on
Speaker 2: a random, you know, weekday afternoon, early evening, popping up
Speaker 2: on Instagram and seeing from doing a zero point five.
Speaker 3: Walking him down the street to Sydney in.
Speaker 1: To Cafe Freedoms. Honestly, that would kind of be priceless.
Speaker 4: Not gonna lie what I've discovered in my years across
Speaker 4: the time is that when you have a dinner with anybody,
Speaker 4: what you're going.
Speaker 1: To soon realize, especially when you respect.
Speaker 4: Someone quite a lot, is that you're just gonna be
Speaker 4: wanting to come across as good to them. I'm listening
Speaker 4: with one ear, but the other year is thinking is
Speaker 4: my facial expression correct? Am I giving them enough? How
Speaker 4: do I say of a glow? Or am I trying
Speaker 4: to impress them? They're not going to be impressed with me.
Speaker 4: I'm just another I'm just another girl. Yeah, so I
Speaker 4: think my own desire to be quote unquote chosen would
Speaker 4: supersede any kind of benefit that.
Speaker 1: I would get.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like real value add And I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 4: Like my favorite Beyonce moment occurred twenty one years ago
Speaker 4: when she was in Austin Powers and I don't think
Speaker 4: I can really speak to that time if I've been
Speaker 4: completely honest.
Speaker 2: Stacey's like, I've done a lot generally, and all you
Speaker 2: want to talk about is Beyonce twenty one years ago.
Speaker 1: Oh, not the Lift episode. I'll leave it.
Speaker 4: I want it to be a beautiful dinner. I don't
Speaker 4: want to have to get into the nitty gritty. I
Speaker 4: don't care for the tea FLEXI what would you do?
Speaker 3: I'm taking the cash.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 2: I just honestly, I was thinking about what kind of
Speaker 2: person you would have to be to take the dinner
Speaker 2: with jay Z and you take, Hey, you need to
Speaker 2: be a super fan number one, or somebody who has
Speaker 2: aspirations to be where jay Z is potentially, or somebody
Speaker 2: who really understands the value of networking. But with all
Speaker 2: of those things, it requires you to be perceived as
Speaker 2: someone worth sharing information too. And I can imagine for
Speaker 2: a lot of people information sharing is really transactional. I
Speaker 2: will share the nitty gritty with you, so I get
Speaker 2: the nitty gritty back. And I don't know if jay
Speaker 2: Z wants anything from me, let alone you. You know,
Speaker 2: like if for some reason I was in a room
Speaker 2: with jay Z, he'd be under duress. He doesn't want
Speaker 2: to be there for Now that he's there, imagine I
Speaker 2: start asking him questions. So I just want to understand, like,
Speaker 2: you know, when you did that contract with Sony, Like
Speaker 2: what did that look ridiculous?
Speaker 1: Sick?
Speaker 2: And I'm always very surprised of the value people think
Speaker 2: they can extract from other people without offering anything, because
Speaker 2: in this moral dilemma, You're like, oh my god, a
Speaker 2: dinner with jay Z incredible, Like I could get so
Speaker 2: much from that, But like, what would he get from that?
Speaker 3: Why would he do that?
Speaker 2: And even if he if he got to the point
Speaker 2: of actually going to a dinner with you, like you
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be like an open book.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's gotta be some level of he agreed to
Speaker 4: dinner and he's he he's.
Speaker 1: Getting the five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: So like this is simply an appearance to me moment.
Speaker 4: I really want to know, if you ask someone who's
Speaker 4: listening and you would like to have the dinner with
Speaker 4: jay Z, you please tell us in Instagram, DM flex
Speaker 4: and frooms because I'm very surprised if there's one person
Speaker 4: that would pick jay Z over five hundred thousand dollars today.
Speaker 3: There are plenty. Maybe if we changed the celebrity in question.
Speaker 1: Brittany Fears, now we're talking now, I'm considering, really considering.
Speaker 3: What are you considering.
Speaker 1: Hanging out with Britty Suit for five hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 2: Like you're forgetting what the knives?
Speaker 1: Not the knives?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would maybe consider that for a MILLI second, and.
Speaker 3: You would still take the five hundred.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not sure I need to sit on it.
Speaker 1: I need a whole nother brain. Just think I could
Speaker 1: get stuff out of brittany.
Speaker 4: 'd be like a wall.
Speaker 3: There'd be nothing but pretty happy like he okay, babe.
Speaker 1: And she likes its hard.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: See, I would just love to thank her for her up.
Speaker 3: Talk about the robopants.
Speaker 2: Wait, are you going to position yourself like a longtime
Speaker 2: fan or more like a peer like for respected person.
Speaker 1: Both definitely have been none rs in certain times.
Speaker 4: No, I would just be a fan, okay, but try
Speaker 4: and keep it on the down like, not overwhelm a woman,
Speaker 4: but rather try and meet her halfway, of course, respecting
Speaker 4: that I'm not an equal, I'm simply a fan. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna try chum chum with Brittany Bloody Spears. Brittany Lynn Spears.
Speaker 3: You're gonn ask for a photo at the start of
Speaker 3: the end of the dinner.
Speaker 4: Definitely the end, Yes, and it'll be respectful. I've had
Speaker 4: such a beautifime with you. You can totally say no,
Speaker 4: but I would love.
Speaker 3: Not that you can say no.
Speaker 1: Biked up. I just want one angel.
Speaker 2: You're taking her glass for fingerprints, selling her napkins on.
Speaker 1: You've gotta get the money back somehow. You're sick.
