Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast. Happy Wednesday, guys. I have
Speaker 1: the strangest like my arse muscles and fires really hurt.
Speaker 2: You're breaking down. You got the ulcer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got an ulcer, But like, what was I
Speaker 1: doing in order to have Like were you sitting on
Speaker 1: the chair?
Speaker 2: Funny? No, No, this is like.
Speaker 1: A strain injury. Like what the hell was I doing
Speaker 1: this weekend?
Speaker 2: You want to get into it? I want.
Speaker 1: That feels like a gateway, I know, like a hubole brag. No,
Speaker 1: like my like, I'm trying to think, talk us through. Okay,
Speaker 1: so my let me just sit off of a second.
Speaker 1: Might see what I was doing for this hurt?
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So she's kind of on all fours and she and
Speaker 3: Fumi is like taking her knee from a twelve o'clock
Speaker 3: position to a three o'clock position and back to twelve.
Speaker 3: So now Freumi is back in a squat position. No,
Speaker 3: it's more like a wrap squat, so one knee to
Speaker 3: the ground and one knee to the sky. And now
Speaker 3: she's kind of arch her back outwards. She seems to
Speaker 3: be in pain, but she's not. But also she's giggling
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 1: No idea what I was doing?
Speaker 2: Why were you in those positions?
Speaker 1: Let's go guys. This is flex and Firms on Kaita.
Speaker 3: I think that this might be the juiciest pr nightmare
Speaker 3: that I have shared.
Speaker 2: With the show in two years.
Speaker 3: It's bad and bad in a sense that it's completely avoidable,
Speaker 3: but with real life consequences. So we all know what's
Speaker 3: happening with Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift. If we pretend
Speaker 3: nothing in studious is happening and it's above board. They're
Speaker 3: in a new relationship. They're both at the top of
Speaker 3: their game, so when they come together, it's just it's
Speaker 3: a beautiful affair. Now, if we go one degree deeper,
Speaker 3: people start to question the legitimacy of this relationship because
Speaker 3: of their superstar status and that usually people with this
Speaker 3: much prestige would keep things under wraps a little bit.
Speaker 3: You know, they wouldn't be publicizing every second thing. I mean,
Speaker 3: you're someone like Taylor Swift and you need to get
Speaker 3: security clearance to go anywhere. It's odd that you'd be
Speaker 3: publicizing yourself with a new person so often.
Speaker 2: If it wasn't for some kind of like material game.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing.
Speaker 3: People are claiming that Travis Kelcey is the one for
Speaker 3: miss Swift because he's shown in so many ways that
Speaker 3: he's fiercely protective. I don't know about all this, maybe
Speaker 3: not following closely enough, so much so that apparently he's
Speaker 3: fired his publicist because of what she did to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: So this publicist, her name is Piare, and she was
Speaker 3: doing a bit of an ig story birthday run down.
Speaker 3: She was reposting pictures that people have posted of her
Speaker 3: onto her profile because it was her birthday. It happens,
Speaker 3: We've seen it plenty of times, No big deal. However,
Speaker 3: she reposts a photo of her in a group photo
Speaker 3: with Taylor Swift a couple other people, and she puts
Speaker 3: a clown emoji on Taylor Swift's face, a clown emoji
Speaker 3: of all the emojis to pick you put a clown emo?
Speaker 3: Are you not the publicist? Is it not your job
Speaker 3: to ensure that the messaging around this relationship is not
Speaker 3: just overwhelmingly positive, but not unnecessarily tainted by parties who
Speaker 3: should not be considered. We shouldn't even know about the publicist.
Speaker 3: To be honest, it should be a secret kind of
Speaker 3: role for real, but so much so that this publicist
Speaker 3: with not very many followers, who should be quite incognito,
Speaker 3: has gone as far as the post.
Speaker 2: And like, the thing about.
Speaker 3: Being a publicist is you are ten steps ahead of
Speaker 3: everybody else for a reason. You recognize that every decision
Speaker 3: you make is for a very particular outcome, which means
Speaker 3: there is no falling through the cracks, especially not for
Speaker 3: a sports publicist. Okay, a sports publicist. I can't imagine
Speaker 3: the person you hire to ensure that your image is
Speaker 3: squeaky clean bring you into disrepute. It's messy, it's nonsense.
Speaker 3: And think about if you're a celebrity on this scale,
Speaker 3: of all the things you have to deal with, all
Speaker 3: the fires you gotta put out, it's from your own backyard,
Speaker 3: your frontline soldier, ruining a reputation.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 3: I still have doubts about this relationship, only because it's
Speaker 3: fun to speculate. But if they're in love, I love
Speaker 3: it for them.
Speaker 1: I realized the other day when I was preparing for
Speaker 1: a show, that it's been a while since we've shared
Speaker 1: some knowledge with the class. I don't know how I
Speaker 1: got here. I think I was on Reddit somehow, and
Speaker 1: I came across the idea that there's more than like
Speaker 1: one type of animal in terms of I thought that
Speaker 1: every animal sleeps at night. Yeah, just off the top
Speaker 1: of my dormas. And I've always wonder like, where do
Speaker 1: sharks go to sleep?
Speaker 2: What about bats? Bo?
Speaker 1: Well, they do sleep during the day. But it turns
Speaker 1: out there are all different types of animals, and I
Speaker 1: want to share with the class. So humans sleep at
Speaker 1: night and are awake during the day. That means they
Speaker 1: are diurinal. So they reckon most animals first of all
Speaker 1: to be di urinal, especially even the nocturnal ones. Advanced
Speaker 1: color and vivid vision isn't an adaptation of diural animals,
Speaker 1: So that's why like animals that sleep and I can
Speaker 1: only see kind of black and white vibes. Allegedly, animals
Speaker 1: that mainly rely on vision to hunt for food are
Speaker 1: usually diurinal. Oh, and they include humans, emuse, reptiles, pollinator
Speaker 1: insects like bees, and primates. Then we've got nocturnal animals.
Speaker 1: We've all seen what those are, bats, bandicoots, bilbies, cane, toads, crocodile, dingo, fly, fox, kangaroo, koala, platypus, possum,
Speaker 1: quocker and quoal. We're talking old.
Speaker 2: Tasmani volas are nocturnal allegedly.
Speaker 1: I think that's why at the zoo they're so sleepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I just went to a koala sanctuary and
Speaker 2: they're away. It was in the morning and they were.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, they said, koala mostly in brackets. Okay, they
Speaker 1: sleep eighteen to twenty hours a day. Mikayla said, so.
Speaker 2: We caught them at a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Australian snakes, for example, though, are both nocturnal.
Speaker 1: Under diurinal, then we've got crepuscular. Crepuscular animals are those
Speaker 1: that are active primarily during twilight, and they're different from
Speaker 1: the daylight and the darkness are animals. The term is
Speaker 1: not precise, however, as some crepuscular animals may also be
Speaker 1: active in moonlight or on an overcast day. So they're
Speaker 1: giving vampire that don't want to be in the sun, bats, hamsters, cats, dogs, rabbits,
Speaker 1: ferrets and rats. So I'm seeing some overlap here, But
Speaker 1: essentially they're animals that like that's when their prey is out,
Speaker 1: and that's when they're most likely not to be preyed upon.
Speaker 1: That's where we're getting. We've got two more types skies.
Speaker 1: There's actually three different types. Three more verse for time
Speaker 1: that indicates something of or related to or occurring in
Speaker 1: the evening. They include moths and beetles. They are creatures
Speaker 1: that become active at dusks, like bats and owls. Then
Speaker 1: we've got two more matutinal in ecology. Mattutinal crepascular animals
Speaker 1: are those that significy active during pre dawn and early hours,
Speaker 1: so it's giving rotating shift, it's giving shift work. The
Speaker 1: final one is cathermal ca. Thermal animals have sporadic and
Speaker 1: irregular active spurts during both day and night. Lions and
Speaker 1: some species of lima are known for being carmrphical. Damn,
Speaker 1: you're listening to flex and Rooms on Kaita. I've been
Speaker 1: getting real big into my book bag recently. I haven't
Speaker 1: watched something in ages on TV. I did watch The
Speaker 1: Invention of Lying last night, the Ricky Jervass movie, and
Speaker 1: side note, I realized that his show Afterlife, which is
Speaker 1: on Netflix, is so heavily inspired by that movie. Like
Speaker 1: there's so many motifs, like he's always like sitting with
Speaker 1: someone on a bench, like there's like mother's dying and
Speaker 1: father's dying and stuff. I think it's good to see,
Speaker 1: especially in the creative industry, like someone's trajectory from like
Speaker 1: creating one movie that's really brilliant into a show.
Speaker 2: And I didn't even know Ricky Javas did movies, but
Speaker 2: it was a comedian.
Speaker 1: He is comedian actor.
Speaker 2: He was in the office, so he's acting in movie.
Speaker 2: They're not his movies, he's just acting in them.
Speaker 1: With Afterlife, it was his show, like he made it
Speaker 1: an acted in it. He's definitely that kind of guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He also like was real big on Twitter back in
Speaker 1: the day. He might still be anyway. Sustainable books, I'm
Speaker 1: always looking ways to cut corners and save money. And
Speaker 1: my recent hack is a website called World of Books.
Speaker 1: If you listen to this and you love books and
Speaker 1: you don't mind something that's like a little bit dirty
Speaker 1: or not even dirty, just something that's like not fresh
Speaker 1: off the shelves, not got that fresh book smell, go
Speaker 1: to World of Books. It's an Australian website. We can
Speaker 1: buy secondhand books for way less than the recommended retail
Speaker 1: price and I really like it. Not only because it's cheap.
Speaker 1: That's obviously the number one thing, but it's really it's
Speaker 1: like a sustainable way to get knowledge. And I also
Speaker 1: like that it has free shipping.
Speaker 2: Oh amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is totally not sponsored. It's just something that like,
Speaker 1: I literally buy books all the time, and I never
Speaker 1: thought to find a site like this.
Speaker 2: He basally good with new releases or not particularly.
Speaker 1: I haven't checked. But that's the other thing is I'd say,
Speaker 1: if there is a new release by an author that
Speaker 1: you want to support, it's better to buy a new
Speaker 1: because then.
Speaker 2: We'll just buy an e book.
Speaker 1: But I do like look a books on my shelf.
Speaker 3: The topic of making friends breaking up with friends does
Speaker 3: not clog up the internet enough. I think if we
Speaker 3: did a little bit of a one to eighty switch
Speaker 3: and for every person who talks about dating, talk about friendships,
Speaker 3: and I think that we'll see a few development in
Speaker 3: that area. For one, I think that we don't have
Speaker 3: enough terminology around friendships. People find it really offensive to
Speaker 3: be called an acquaintance. I think that's just a beautiful
Speaker 3: way to describe someone who you have a pleasant relationship with,
Speaker 3: who you don't feel responsible for. But alas in due time.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of phrases will be made, like
Speaker 3: what's the ghosting bread crummy equivalents for friendships?
Speaker 2: They're different.
Speaker 3: It's a different kind of ghostings, different kind of bread crumbing.
Speaker 3: Nobody cares enough to create terms, so maybe I will.
Speaker 3: On my TikTok feed, there was a creator called mum
Speaker 3: a taz is Alive and they were talking about making
Speaker 3: friends with women in particular, and how they found that
Speaker 3: the blanket advice wasn't.
Speaker 2: Really helpful because people.
Speaker 3: Often talk aspirationally about what they would do in certain situations,
Speaker 3: but don't really think about what the reality is like.
Speaker 3: So she created a list of tips making friends with women.
Speaker 3: The first tip is to not complain about your old
Speaker 3: friends or your other friends, which I think is something
Speaker 3: that people would struggle with. A big part of making
Speaker 3: new friends is commiserating. Is to talk about things in
Speaker 3: your life that aren't really going so well, or areas
Speaker 3: in which you make comparisons to validate somebody else, like oh,
Speaker 3: my goodness, it's a lovely to hear from you, like
Speaker 3: I never hear from my friends this much.
Speaker 2: It's so nice.
Speaker 3: Little digs or things like that that might give you
Speaker 3: the impression that you're making this person feel like you're close,
Speaker 3: but realistically your position yourself is not really that great
Speaker 3: of a friend. The other one, she said, is to
Speaker 3: recognize it slow and stead he wins the race. And
Speaker 3: I'm reading Yankovic's book right now called Just Friends. It
Speaker 3: comes out in February. She talks a lot about this
Speaker 3: idea that people don't really make time for the early
Speaker 3: stages of friendships. And similar to the early stages of dating,
Speaker 3: you don't know how it's going to go, but for
Speaker 3: fear that it's you start to love bombs, so you
Speaker 3: spend more time with them. It's haying after hanging after haying,
Speaker 3: text after texts after text. And the issue is it
Speaker 3: doesn't set a good precedent for a friendship you can maintain,
Speaker 3: and then what happens is that this unmet expectation festers.
Speaker 3: Last week we spoke about what we learned in friendships
Speaker 3: as opposed to relationships, and having big conversations is a
Speaker 3: new thing. I've had friends I've had for ten years
Speaker 3: that I couldn't dare have a big conversation with because
Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh, they're not good with confrontation. They're
Speaker 3: too sensitive, la la la la. But a new friend
Speaker 3: goes through such a vigorous training program. But I'm like,
Speaker 3: if I get a whiff that you are not someone
Speaker 3: I can have a proper conversation with, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Like, I'm not gonna waste my time. Max. The other thing,
Speaker 2: I think the biggest tip.
Speaker 3: For making friends with women now is that you have
Speaker 3: to bring in new framework. You can't use the same
Speaker 3: tactics you are using to make your high school friends
Speaker 3: make friends with adults, especially adult women.
Speaker 1: Is there a reason why way differentiating women to everyone.
Speaker 3: I think the point of her specifying women is that
Speaker 3: so men didn't come in and say, well, this doesn't
Speaker 3: relate to me, because she's speaking to people who want
Speaker 3: to make friends with women.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you to her for bringing us to our attention.
