Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: Rimy's love language has to be drawing pretty pictures, because
Speaker 2: if you've never of me, if you've never had the
Speaker 2: pleasure of having yourself drawn by frooms, I would recommend
Speaker 2: it's really lovely to be seen and immortalized in this way.
Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms on Keda, I.
Speaker 2: Have some bad news for you. We all have tiny
Speaker 2: little bugs crawling on our face. I didn't find this
Speaker 2: information ourself, it was submitted by a loyal VIP listener, Amy.
Speaker 2: Thank you for cursing us. I always say to myself,
Speaker 2: it's nicer to stuffer as a community than alone. Let's
Speaker 2: bring that back, Mickeyana, play the tape.
Speaker 3: This eight legged creature is living inside the pores of
Speaker 3: your face right now, Yes, your face, not some people's faces,
Speaker 3: everyone's faces. This is what's called the demodex mite, and
Speaker 3: it's actually distantly related to ticks and spiders because it
Speaker 3: also has eight legs. But it likes to live than
Speaker 3: our pores of the face and eat off our seabum
Speaker 3: or the oil that we produce.
Speaker 2: I fortunately don't have pause. It's been said to me.
Speaker 2: Please so I don't think this is me for the
Speaker 2: rest of you be afraid for more than one reason. Again,
Speaker 2: too much information. I just I don't like cliches. Ignorance
Speaker 2: is bliss, but I often find that information without the
Speaker 2: use of the context, I just feel overloaded and overwhelmed,
Speaker 2: and my instinct is to share the suffering. So now
Speaker 2: you got to know, and you gotta know, and you
Speaker 2: gotta know what help is that? But anyway, tell a
Speaker 2: friend to tell a friend, stay safe, stay vigilant, and
Speaker 2: the real scary person is you.
Speaker 1: We have quite a controversial listener submission here. It does
Speaker 1: involve making someone infertile to it. Frankly, these are my
Speaker 1: not my words, so I'm just going to get straight
Speaker 1: into the story. Please, if you're behind the wheel, hold
Speaker 1: both hands on the steeringwheel ten and two, unless, of course,
Speaker 1: you are driving manual. Hello, Flex and Froomes, tremendous fan
Speaker 1: of your show. What a fantastic word. Listening to the
Speaker 1: potty is now an intrinsic part of my natural function.
Speaker 1: Thank you for all that you do. I have a confession. Okay,
Speaker 1: here it is in brackets. It's a little long, but
Speaker 1: it's very much worth it. I promise okay of her
Speaker 1: bost king. For much of my high school life, I
Speaker 1: sat in pools of envy. Okay, we've got a wordsmith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: being extremely jealous of those who were performing at a
Speaker 1: higher level than me. I was most envious of this girl, who,
Speaker 1: as I observed over the course of six years, evidently
Speaker 1: had no social life or understanding of the world beyond
Speaker 1: our suburban village. I hated her and tried to hexo
Speaker 1: several times in the heat of exams, each spell failing miserably.
Speaker 1: As she eventually received college ducks. Even as we grew
Speaker 1: older and we're exposed to things deemed controversial to her
Speaker 1: conservative mind, she remained stupid. My god, this person is
Speaker 1: a comedian. Said. Stupidity was manifested into her first ever relationship,
Speaker 1: which quickly turned into an engagement like five months in.
Speaker 1: She was twenty two years old and had previously only
Speaker 1: had crushes on them.
Speaker 2: So that's trajectory.
Speaker 1: I would never harbor such hatred for anyone as I
Speaker 1: do her, But this new partner comes to a close second.
Speaker 1: I was still a studying medicine at university, and being
Speaker 1: a discussing and immature person, took a great interest in
Speaker 1: all medicine concerning genitalia.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: These people are doctors. As a timebl and sexy. At
Speaker 1: the time, I was indulged in my own personal study
Speaker 1: of a zoo a zoospermia, the condition in which there
Speaker 1: is no measurable sperm. Said couple were heavily religious and
Speaker 1: committed to upholding Catholic ideals, especially when it came to intimacy.
Speaker 1: They were very keen to exchange their vows and set
Speaker 1: their marriage plans in place, the day of ceremony being
Speaker 1: scheduled for five months later. One cause of a zoo
Speaker 1: spermia is a trauma slash injury to the pelvic region.
Speaker 1: Having studied it, I knew which areas would be catalytic
Speaker 1: to the condition. So one night at a party, I
Speaker 1: decided I wanted to try something. My friend, the host,
Speaker 1: had a super vicious and nasty dog. The morning of
Speaker 1: I rubbed steak all over the partner's pants and underwear.
Speaker 1: Because I lived in a sharehouse and this was easy
Speaker 1: to do. I won't get graphic here, but he ended
Speaker 1: up having to leave the party in an ambulance. Anyway,
Speaker 1: three years later, the couple are happily married, but he's
Speaker 1: the furthest thing from fertile. This is horrible. They tried
Speaker 1: IVF and she had to drop out of school to
Speaker 1: get two jobs to cover the funds. What the heck?
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad because their kids would have been
Speaker 1: ugly as by the way, I know, I'm an asshole
Speaker 1: in the instance.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, that's just.
Speaker 1: A crazy story. Can this is a real person. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna, for the sake of my own mental capacity,
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume this is a fake story. Mikayla,
Speaker 1: can you confirm more than I producing Mikayla, she said
Speaker 1: it was real, but I think it's inconceivably It is
Speaker 1: inconceivably horrible that you would rub steak all over someone's
Speaker 1: pants and underwear. They're a fantastic writer, I must say.
Speaker 1: Whatever your name amiss who sent this in? You are
Speaker 1: a very sinister individual freak. Given you are a listener
Speaker 1: of The Flex and FRIM Show, I'm a big fan,
Speaker 1: and I'm a big fan of your writing style. Would
Speaker 1: you consider going into fiction or perhaps nonfiction? We can
Speaker 1: try and get some hookups in some publishers, because I'm
Speaker 1: very impressed by your writing style. I don't know what
Speaker 1: amount of hatred warrants this behavior. I believe horrible behavior
Speaker 1: is often not just warranted by hate. Sometimes it's in
Speaker 1: the heart of the individual for numerous traumatic events, etc.
Speaker 1: It's never okay to seek revenge like this. I would
Speaker 1: never wish for someone to be infertile.
Speaker 2: It's in these instances I commend myself on the ability
Speaker 2: to suppress how I feel about certain situations, because I
Speaker 2: know some people perceive revenge and anger and hatred to
Speaker 2: be really motivating and empowering, and it propels you forward.
Speaker 2: You know, it gets you out of this space and
Speaker 2: into a new one. But I also think it can
Speaker 2: be really chaotic and you don't know where you're gonna land.
Speaker 2: But suppression and repression just squash it. They need to
Speaker 2: feel anything about it. My deal of conversation I was
Speaker 2: having over the weekend and we're talking about forgiveness and forgetting,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I think I'm better at forgetting than forgiving.
Speaker 2: I think the process of forgiving requires too much. In
Speaker 2: my instance, I really need the person to understand, and
Speaker 2: often when people hurt you, they don't understand, and so
Speaker 2: then you're kind of like, well, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2: You don't get it, I don't get it. Let's just
Speaker 2: forget each other. Prone to goho sting. But I also
Speaker 2: say one thing about miss Flexiana. She is like a
Speaker 2: bit of a Massacres in the sense that I enjoy
Speaker 2: a lot of hard things constantly. Like I'm always just
Speaker 2: doing hard things, having hard conversations, being the one who
Speaker 2: says something, being the one who does something. And so
Speaker 2: when I reach my limit, it's only because I've done
Speaker 2: stuff for so long. I think people just like to
Speaker 2: know that you care, so that it mind what response
Speaker 2: you have to them, as long as you're invested. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no more, please. This was really super scary.
Speaker 2: I hope it's fake for everybody's sake. Please be sick freak.
Speaker 1: This is flex and rooms on Cait. I found myself
Speaker 1: at the pub the other day on a Friday night,
Speaker 1: perhaps the most electric moment at a watering hole. I
Speaker 1: was speaking to my friend Ali and we were talking
Speaker 1: about siblings. As you know, I'm as you.
Speaker 2: Do core topics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she has a theory about siblings that I
Speaker 1: think will pique your interests.
Speaker 4: I want to hear this, Okay, the idea is that
Speaker 4: I am a better person as a result of having
Speaker 4: been bullied by my siblings. And as much as it
Speaker 4: was painful at the time, like, the reality is that
Speaker 4: siblings know you better than anyone else and they can
Speaker 4: pinpoint your flaws and it was everything that I needed
Speaker 4: to improve anyway.
Speaker 2: So it's a non positive, not trauma, doing what it
Speaker 2: needs to do to keep the cycle going. So she
Speaker 2: maybe I just needed that thing that is still plaguing
Speaker 2: me as an adult that I'm referencing at a at
Speaker 2: a casual chat at the pub.
Speaker 1: Getting bullied by your sibling is a net positive, and
Speaker 1: I must say I agree. She continued to say, it's
Speaker 1: like they find things that are annoying about you and
Speaker 1: nip it in the bud before they grow out of
Speaker 1: hand in the wild with the public.
Speaker 2: Depends which sibling, because the older ones made you so
Speaker 2: I am, but you in a version that you dislike.
Speaker 2: All your worst qualities you gave to me. I didn't
Speaker 2: exist before you put all your influence here. Really, younger
Speaker 2: sibling a bit different, but I don't have any of
Speaker 2: those well as a.
Speaker 1: Younger sibling, I will say there was some some words
Speaker 1: bandied about. Crazy was the operative for you. Yeah, true,
Speaker 1: you're crazy. That was her insult mine to her redacted on.
Speaker 2: Her I mean I got called detached, but it wasn't
Speaker 2: really an insult. It was like a factor that's detached. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: It's like I don't want to be part of the drama.
Speaker 1: Have you changed your waist?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Put me in.
Speaker 2: Put me in, coach, Oh, put me in. So what
Speaker 2: you're saying, let's advocate for bullying sibling to sibling.
Speaker 1: Yes, great, intergenerational bullying in the workplace, in the home.
Speaker 2: Oh, miss flex and the controversial passion for it coke.
Speaker 2: What has she done my relationship to the internet. People
Speaker 2: often think it must be strategic, you must know and
Speaker 2: you're going to cause a fuss, and I truly do not.
Speaker 2: I've said and done some pretty off kilter things. No
Speaker 2: One's battert aly In and one cute little Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: I find myself at brunch with some of my nearest
Speaker 2: and dearest. I ordered an asy bowl and I thought
Speaker 2: to myself, let's top off some of this health pretty goodness,
Speaker 2: you know, with a bit of preservative based badness. And
Speaker 2: so I ordered myself a coke, but I asked for
Speaker 2: some passion fruit pulp initially to put in the assai,
Speaker 2: but when it arrived they gave me such a big portion.
Speaker 2: There was so much to go around. It brought me
Speaker 2: back to my days of creating various coke based mocktails.
Speaker 2: So initially when I started DJing, I didn't drink alcohol,
Speaker 2: but I used drink a lot of coke. So I
Speaker 2: would make the concoction more enticing by adding, you know,
Speaker 2: one lime, and then two limes, and then three limes,
Speaker 2: than four lime quadrants, not whole lime.
Speaker 1: Sorry, okay, but you do. That's essentially one whole.
Speaker 2: One whole lime. And then I would mix it up
Speaker 2: and add frozen berries muddle in the bottom, sometimes passion
Speaker 2: fruit pulp. And because I don't dj as often, I
Speaker 2: don't feel the need to gourmet my coke. But in
Speaker 2: this instance, I said, let's bring it back. Took a
Speaker 2: little photo on Instagram, put it on my story. The controversy.
Speaker 2: I now understand that when I posted it, people thought
Speaker 2: I was putting passion rip pulp into a long iced
Speaker 2: black coffee. Oh so now I understand. But with that
Speaker 2: being said, now that I've clarified, it is just putting
Speaker 2: passion frip pulp into Coca Cola. There still is some controversy.
Speaker 2: People aren't too happy. Some people say it's too insane
Speaker 2: not to work. Other people say she's just insane. I say,
Speaker 2: I am a taste maker, through and through decade long.
Speaker 2: The accolades speak for themselves. Rest assured, someone somewhere, probably
Speaker 2: Justin Hem's, is about to take this concept.
Speaker 1: Justin listen, I'm caning for a blowback. I do love
Speaker 1: myself a bit of Maryvale goodness.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to collab.
Speaker 1: I must say I worked with Maraveil on some sponsor
Speaker 1: content last year. Did They were absolutely fantastic to deal with.
Speaker 1: I got a lifelong, life long fan in me. Dolan say,
Speaker 1: I'm a shill for Justin Ham's core. You've been listening
