Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast.
Speaker 1: Just a quick note from me.
Speaker 2: For me, I again have been the victim of subverbal
Speaker 2: attack hate crime into I was trying to say to
Speaker 2: Flex yesterday that she was wearing a tangerine number, a
Speaker 2: two piece made of cotton. I'm assuming perhaps a little
Speaker 2: bit of sin satine moment that sat in the crinkles. Anyway,
Speaker 2: she's wearing a tangerine two piece.
Speaker 3: She flexes like, I'm anticipating the roast because it's coming.
Speaker 2: So can we just get it straight you you guys, like,
Speaker 2: what are you gonna say?
Speaker 1: You what I said?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Fuck you guys.
Speaker 2: When we started the show nearly a year right now,
Speaker 2: it was a year. Oh damn, time doesn't fly. You're okay, okay, everybody.
Speaker 2: It's actually so annoying when someone loses the pots. I'm
Speaker 2: just going to get it together commusic, Okay, freaky. One
Speaker 2: of the first things you said to us on the
Speaker 2: run sheet was that listeners like to hear what's happening
Speaker 2: in the environment.
Speaker 3: No through me every week, will never listen to Brookie.
Speaker 3: Brookie prints us amazing run sheet. She gives us directions
Speaker 3: for me thinks they're optional. But this one off hand
Speaker 3: comment made three hundred and sixty five days ago, and
Speaker 3: you're like, well, I describe because Brookie said that.
Speaker 1: People like to know visually what's going on.
Speaker 3: And she's Nott throwing around gibes and attacks, and you're
Speaker 3: masking it under you know your creative processes.
Speaker 2: Can I just just got really quickly.
Speaker 1: You've described him before. No, I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: you describe. My point is shoes against this. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not comfortable. I'm not comfortable with this
Speaker 1: enough and now enough. Listen to the podcast Flex and
Speaker 1: Rooms on cater.
Speaker 3: Am I the asshole for not catering my best friend's wedding?
Speaker 3: That is the question we're answering today on Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 3: Listen to this.
Speaker 1: I'm a skilled cook.
Speaker 3: It's not my day to day job, but I do
Speaker 3: some catering on the SI for extra money sometimes. On
Speaker 3: My closest friends is getting married this summer and I'm
Speaker 3: super excited for her wedding. She told me recently that
Speaker 3: she wanted to use me for catering for the wedding.
Speaker 3: I told her I was honored that she thought I
Speaker 3: was good enough cook, but if I provide catering, I
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to really enjoy the wedding as a guest,
Speaker 3: and I hadn't really been planning on working all day
Speaker 3: for my friend's wedding. She told me that providing the
Speaker 3: catering could be my wedding gift instead of an actual gift.
Speaker 3: I explained that if I was catering the wedding.
Speaker 1: It's forty to fifty people.
Speaker 3: So it's small for a wedding, but still obviously a
Speaker 3: lot of cooking and prep that I couldn't attend it
Speaker 3: because I'd be making orders during the day and ceremony
Speaker 3: and dinner during the reception. So if I'm not attending
Speaker 3: the wedding, I didn't owe her an expensive gift, so
Speaker 3: she needs to pay me if she wanted me to
Speaker 3: cater She's now mad at me because she was trying
Speaker 3: to help boost my catering by giving me some exposure. Again,
Speaker 3: this is not my main source of income and not
Speaker 3: looking for new clients. I feel really bad that she's
Speaker 3: mad at me, but I just don't see why I
Speaker 3: should cater meals and appetisers for free for her because
Speaker 3: I'm a good cook, It'd be extremely expensive and super
Speaker 3: time consuming for me. Am I the asshole for telling
Speaker 3: her I'd rather attend the wedding, But if she prefer
Speaker 3: I cater, she needs to pay. So what would you
Speaker 3: do for me? You're a little bit of a cook.
Speaker 3: I have friends that would get married.
Speaker 2: I double in the fine arts of cooking. Do not
Speaker 2: do things for your friends when they involve drains and pipes.
Speaker 1: And major milestones. This quid pro quo? What do you
Speaker 1: call it? In the what the lawyers do?
Speaker 2: Pro bono?
Speaker 1: Pro bono? Please pro bono? Bon broth.
Speaker 2: The contra babes look as someone who is identified as
Speaker 2: an influencer. At times over emails, I have been offered,
Speaker 2: you know, a little gift card here or there to
Speaker 2: review a restaurant. I say, please, police, I don't need
Speaker 2: the exposure, and neither do you. I want to enjoy
Speaker 2: my time if I'm going out to a restaurant, I
Speaker 2: don't want to pay. So this sort to say this
Speaker 2: woman has totally fair. I think people who are not
Speaker 2: in a certain industry don't realize the time and effort
Speaker 2: that goes into certain things. I mean, cooking should be
Speaker 2: obvious because a lot of us have to do it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the exposure angle, I'm sensing that this person
Speaker 2: is angling for a freebie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, but I don't understand why, especial if
Speaker 3: you're good friends. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2: I guess they just don't realize how much it's gonna
Speaker 2: put into it. When I was thirteen, I had my
Speaker 2: cousin's first wedding.
Speaker 1: We had when you were thirteen.
Speaker 2: No, but they had me in the f in kitchen,
Speaker 2: de peeling, depooing prawns. M That was one of the
Speaker 2: worst experiences in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry about it.
Speaker 2: So I would never get someone who is important to
Speaker 2: the wedding.
Speaker 1: You don't get your friends to do the grunt work.
Speaker 3: I am one of those people where like, I like
Speaker 3: being generous, and I like acts of service, like when
Speaker 3: people do things for me. But I will never, ever,
Speaker 3: ever ask my friends to do grunt work moving house,
Speaker 3: grunt work, cooking at my wedding, grunt work, organizing the
Speaker 3: music at the party, grunt work. I have some respect
Speaker 3: for your people. It is such an esteemed position to
Speaker 3: have a friend who's getting married you know what I mean, Like, well,
Speaker 3: it's my friend, they're doing this amazing thing. Maybe that'll
Speaker 3: be present and celebrate with her, hanging all back on
Speaker 3: this mask and be like, hey, why are you having
Speaker 3: your first kiss?
Speaker 1: I was in the kitchen.
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous and it's odd, and it would advise you
Speaker 3: to like really not reconsider the friendship. But like, if
Speaker 3: you cannot reason with your friend in this instance, that
Speaker 3: is so worrying to me, very spooky. That's good luck
Speaker 3: with that. I wouldn't wish out on my worst enemy.
Speaker 3: For the plot, maybe, but not on a day to day.
Speaker 1: Keeter flex and Frooms flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: In a very exciting development. We are playing a game,
Speaker 2: and this is the jobs you never knew celebs had, Flexi.
Speaker 2: I'm going to read out some celebrity jobs that they
Speaker 2: had prior to becoming quote unquote successful. Talk to me,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna need you to guess whether or not
Speaker 2: they are true. Starting off, Carti B did Cardi work
Speaker 2: at a currency exchange at the mall and once serve
Speaker 2: P Diddy, but was too nervous to pitch her music
Speaker 2: to him. Yes, that sounds believable, done, Brookie I like
Speaker 2: that whoopy Goldberg phone sex phone operator. She says when
Speaker 2: she was younger, the money was great, but people who
Speaker 2: see her now know that it would be her voice.
Speaker 3: True gorgeous, whoopee, Come on girl bus Rihanna?
Speaker 2: Is it Rihanna?
Speaker 1: She says, it's Rihanna, But too much time is past.
Speaker 2: She worked at a makeup store as a teen because
Speaker 2: her plan was to become a makeup artist before her
Speaker 2: music career took off.
Speaker 1: I believe that true. Whoa we whoa? Can we slow down?
Speaker 1: Lets see this? All sounds so believable to me.
Speaker 2: Brooks a genius. Hugh Jackman. He was a clown, earning
Speaker 2: fifty dollars per show. He even remembered a girl saying
Speaker 2: that this clown is terrible. He doesn't know any tricks. True,
Speaker 2: pull one out for hum. I'm senting a pattern here.
Speaker 2: Mariah Carey she was a hat checker, but she got
Speaker 2: fired because of her attitude.
Speaker 1: False, am I girl alone?
Speaker 2: Megan Fox she was a banana mascot. She used to
Speaker 2: stand outside this smoothie shop. She worked out dressed as
Speaker 2: a banana. True, well done. Jack Harlowe worked at his
Speaker 2: dad's used car sales factory.
Speaker 1: One of rooms and was fired for crushing an expensive car. True,
Speaker 1: there's only one for me, not that character defamation.
Speaker 2: And finally, Sissa used to work inside a fancy club
Speaker 2: bathroom and would hand you the paper towels and were
Speaker 2: scouted one day when caught singing by a record producer.
Speaker 1: True, like, I don't feel that game fantasy.
Speaker 3: You know, these are great experiences to have what they do,
Speaker 3: just work in hospital.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Hun, Well maybe that was a.
Speaker 1: Loss to me.
Speaker 3: I think it's a win just for getting involved and
Speaker 3: give it a red hot going.
Speaker 1: You're not big into games, are you?
Speaker 3: I can be competitive, but if I know that like
Speaker 3: it's a game of skill not chance, then I'll play.
Speaker 2: Well. I'm proud of you.
