<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch.

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Up podcast, Flex and Firms Podcast Edition. I wish I

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 2>could give you a play by play on what it's

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 2>been like living in Melbourne. A series of synchronous events.

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I walk into a place and somebody recognizes me and

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>knows me, but it feels really lovely. For example, I

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 2>went into a cafe called Florian. How did I get

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>there because a friend of mine was like, let's go

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 2>to Florian fantastic today. Google it. No, I don't need

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>to google it. I'm a local pop in. I get

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 2>served by this amazing woman, the vibe is up, and

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 2>then maybe halfway through the meal, she's like, I just

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 2>need to jump in and say Hi, I actually know Frooms.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I said, this is amazing. A friend of Frooms is

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 2>a friend of mine.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Would you say about me?

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>I should you amazing that you went to UNI together

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>or something, and that the vibe is up and we

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>should come on a Friday for wine and drinks when

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>they're doing vinyl and stuff. And I said, I would

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>ask you. She said this Frim's going to be here

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 2>this week and I said, yeah, but I'm not sure

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>IF's gonna be on a Friday or Saturday. I said

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>to her that I would text you and let you

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>know that I had met her, And while you're a

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>spot were coming in, I was showing them to her fresh.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you tell her that she's the most stylish person

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I know?

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>She was on the phone.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so so this wooll didn't disclose.

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Her name is Rose. I will dock her. Her name

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>is Rose. She and her friend Dom started the cafe

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Floring in Melbourne. You would have heard about it, no doubt.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>It's very, very cool and stylish. So her and I

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>went to RMAT together. We studied advertising and she I've

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>topped the story before, but she walked in. Michayale's like, shut.

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 2>It's an intro, So can we intro? I don't really really, Okay,

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>she worked in.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>She walked in and I'm like, holy, chic has a

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Cullus clothes. Ever, we didn't talk right for the first year.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Then I left, got a job at Pedestrian, come back

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>part time to finish my degree. We sit next to

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>each other, we become mates. Then we worked out that

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>both of our dads know each other from the Caryard Zone,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>which is just the weirdest thing because you would never

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>guess it, Like I would never have guessed that our

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>parents were even slightly linked and they ended up like

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>going to a wedding all together, crazy obsessed. Then Also,

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's an Also listen, I'm just gonna say, Rose,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you're an amazing talented woman. Their cafes like popping off.

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all the dms. Oh my god, you're a local.

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>This place is amazing, like.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Cool people like it, but also like genuine people that

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>understand restaurants. Wow, let's get at that, guys, flex and

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>frioms on kedus.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Question for the audience, do real estates hate their real

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>estate agents as well? Yes? Or no? Yeah they must. No, No,

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, no offense, no shade, but it

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 2>is what it is. It is what it is. Unfortunately,

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I was having a reflective moment, not going to time

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>it to any move to Melbourne I made or didn't make.

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>But I was thinking about how generally speaking, in my

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>personal experience, real estates have this lars a fair attitude.

0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Real Estates real estate agents both right the conglomerate and

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the individuals have this las a fair to shark pipeline

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>attitude within the duration of your leasing period in the

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>initial stages. Oh great, you signed on. Hey there's a

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>huge week. Oh you'll be right. You'll be right. Now

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>you move out, They're coming for you like a hawk.

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Hey there's a minus scratch in a high traffic area

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and we need to rip up every single floorboard. It's

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>okay with you.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 1>That's on new Kreen.

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>We can take it from your bond if you like.

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't make any sense, And I was thinking it

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>is naive to think that every real estate agent that

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>ever existed is in a position to own property. So

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine a vast majority, especially those who are

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>just starting out climbing up the corporate ladder, are in

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>a position where they're also renting. What is going on?

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I need the whole community to rally and let me know.

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Is it like a self hate thing?

0:03:52.600 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, real estate masochism, internalized real estate ology. Yeah,

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>internalized homo ology. Okay, I've said what I said and

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I will stand by it. I'm gonna say they do.

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>It's like car dealers, right, they cut from the same cloth. Yeah, O,

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the car dealers think car dealers are dodgy. Oh yeah,

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>same law.

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>This might feel like one of those if you can't

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>beat them, joining them thing like, yes, you can go

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and be the most altruistic real estate agent ever. But

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.239
<v Speaker 2>then you've got the owner on your back who's saying, Mmm,

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna need you to be a shark, because I

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>don't want this to be my remit. It needs to

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 2>be your remit. And maybe you start to recognize all

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the best in the business have a certain approach. If

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to be the best and get that commission,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I must act as if. If you are a real

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 2>estate agent who rents, please reach out. Please not to commiserate,

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>because you are the enemy, but I would like to

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>mind you for some data.

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>The only real estate agents I approve of what are

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>their names? Dickie Cox him, but two others Gas, Gavin Rubinstein.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Dline's one of us.

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you said it really like women supporting women have

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>had enough.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>We get people messaging in their dilemmas. They're often very

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>scary and they make me very very happy that I

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>have minimal conflict in my life. One housemate who isn't

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>around a lot. It's all I'll say. We have an

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>emy of the asshole was sent in by a woman

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>called Brook from the Flex and Frooms DMS. If you

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.080

<v Speaker 1>to Flex and Frooms on Instagram and we will read

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>it there by way, I mean, I'll produce. Mikayla, thank you, Mikayla,

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>thank you. All right, let's be in Hey, I've got

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>a cooked roommate story for the potty for Frooms. Okay o.

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>My friend twenty one currently rents and then shares a

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>house with an older roommate fifty. All right, we're doing that.

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>My friend is quite busy with UNI and so she

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>can have quite an unpredictable schedule. Because of this, she

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>will cook all of her meals for the week, freeze

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 1>and refrigerate them, and heat them up when needed. This

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is where her roommate has taken severe issue. A few

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, my friend cooked a curry. She emits. The

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>smell was quite strong, and the roommate complained and said

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that she found it highly offensive. Wow. My friend obviously

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>apologized and tried to air out the house. Some people

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to use those induction fans, but they.

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't work as well as they could, and plus cents

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 2>get trapped into fabrics and you know oil splatters that

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't see that are on the wall. Yeah, it's

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>A week later, the roommate complains that she can still

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>smell curry and that it is disturbing her.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Sleep, disturbing the peace, babe.

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>She tells my friend that she can no longer cook

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>curries during the week or pass midday due to the

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.479
<v Speaker 1>issue with the smell. This is fine until last week.

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>My friend cooked garlic pasta while the roommate was out.

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>The roommate returned at nine pm and went straight to

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>her room. The following day, my friend received an email

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>while at union from this roommate essentially asking for a

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>check in and implying that they need to talk about

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>things that aren't working for either of us. Roommate proceeded

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to lecture my friend on how the garlic smell was disturbing,

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>disrupted her sleep, and permeated the soft furnishings. As I said, yes,

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>she said, my friend needs to find more recipes at work.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Then she accused my friend of being lazy not meal

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>prepping this week, and she said she should strive to

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>be more like the roommate. What my friend has three

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>weeks left on her lease.

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>She wants to leave.

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>She wants to leave, and at this point is willing

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to lose her security deposit. That's when he know it's bad.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>My friend's mum said, to are tough at out. What

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>do you guys think she should do to me? She

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>strikes me as someone who reads a recipe. It says

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>two bits of garlic. She's put six in.

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like that.

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>One of my girls. Do we think that this woman

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>is asshole for cooking smelling food? I'll begin with my opinion. Okay,

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I know it's unusual for this shop. Yeah, I'm turning

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a leaf. I believe that you do need to be

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>wary of what you're cooking in a house baiting biom

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and a quay. The one that I hate the most

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>is cooking salmon on a pan, strong smell, taking the oven.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like connected to one place, but on the stove

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it stinks and there's something about the fishy oiliness of

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>it that does permeate the house and I will say

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I think most people don't know how to use the

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>induction fan. They often forget they're not opening windows. I

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>also think that you don't know how bad you smell.

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Pointed.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, guys, I said, And so I would say, keep

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>on the lease, Okay, it's not worth losing, stay the course,

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.839
<v Speaker 1>stay with the parents if that's an option, yeah, or

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>perhaps just start ordering uberates.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be ageists, but I will I

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>do think there's something very self interested about coexisting with

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>other people at any given point, but generally when you're younger,

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>the small windo of time I spent living with somebody else,

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I was made aware of habits that I didn't know

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>were disruptive, in the same way I made them aware

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 2>of habits that they didn't know that were disrupt Do

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>the smells anything that has to do with the five senses? Really,

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you should be acutely attuned to my thing with cooking,

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 2>And like you said, you don't know what you smell like,

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>or what your house smells like, all your things smell like,

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 2>what your hair smells like. And what we do know

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>for a fact is that since stay in places, one

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>of my pet peeves is the lingering smell of food

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>once it's already been consumed.

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got a headen upatha here and there.

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and you do terrorize me. I don't say anything

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 2>because I've also turned a new leaf. You see, we're

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>all growing on this show. So what I find is like,

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>it's gross to smell food that you did not cook,

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>you did not eat. It's on the walls, it's on

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the couch, it's on the floor, it's kind of like

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>in the topp ofwere it's in the cutlery. It's yucky.

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>And as you said, if people aren't doing their due

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 2>diligence and making sure windows are open and bedroom doors

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.199
<v Speaker 2>are shut, and you know we're getting airflow, it's frustrating

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's gross that being said, did it we're in

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 2>an email? I'm not sure, but I don't really know

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 2>if there's a nice way to tell someone your food

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 2>smells and therefore you should not eat.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So who were siding with?

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm siding with the fifty year old. I don't think

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.839
<v Speaker 2>the approach was really good, but I think with three

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 2>weeks to go, everyone needs to let it go. Are

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>we sending emails berating people with three weeks to go

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>on a lease, let it go.

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>We're bygones, be bygones.

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Period flex and rooms on, Kater, I.

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Have a bit of a bone to pick, a bit

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>of a gripe to wipe out of my god rain,

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is that off the dome? Yeah, it just came out.

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm in a good role today, definitely.

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I just had a whole bunch of pasta Alanorma pasta

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that I made off recipe two needs. The real ones

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>will know what I'm talking. Thank you. Nagi and her

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 1>dog goes up. So the other day I was watching Fleabag,

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>which is a British show by a woman called Phoebe

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>all a Bridge. It was released in twenty sixteen. To

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Rave reviews, this is like a cultural reset when it

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I haven't watched it, and I feel like I really

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>like it. You would love it, just you have to

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>watch it well. And in it, she runs this cafe.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like a ferret cafe, and no one really comes in,

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>but this one guy does come in. He sits down.

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>He's sort of lap an iPad, kindle and a.

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Phone one of mine.

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he sits down and she watches him plug in

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the laptop, plug in the phone, plug in the thing.

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Go oh wait, there's not enough plugs. Bring out an adapter.

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>And it got me thinking, I've seen this in real life.

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>We see people go to cafes and use it as

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a workspace, and I'm off it.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 2>The value add isn't equal. You've come here, maybe you've

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>got a single coffee. Now you're using up sixty bucks

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>worth electricity and you're taking up real estate. And you're

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>setting a precedent that this is a place where you

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>can do that because nobody will come to you and

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>say you have to leave. Yeah, and because of that reason,

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 2>you think it's fine to stay. And you're so right

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 2>if you need to plug in, it's not go all.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Do we not have libraries?

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Libraries are underutilized. Stray Sydney libraries. The best one, I

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>say is Soorry Hills. It's also the only one I've

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>been to that's okay, but fantastic. They've got bamboo out

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 1>the front, they would and pull space. They've got PC

0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>computers for a bit of a throwback fire.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what is everybody's issue with the library? Go there?

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I understand people think they're doing this community initiative thing

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 2>by going in supporting a small business. You're doing the opposite, babe.

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Unlet's getting some piggies when you're in there. Okay, repost

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.439
<v Speaker 2>tag location tag, little hashtag. Here's what I say. If

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 2>at any point you feel as though you've spent so

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>much time there that this feels like you're home, you've

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>done too Muchoo. If you feel like you've got you've

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 2>gone to your local one too many times and you

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 2>would take off your shoes with ease because they know

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.199
<v Speaker 2>you there. You've done too much. It's time to go.

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>The crocs are halfway off and they stink.

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 2>You're jumping in when people are ordering. Oh yeah, I

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't get that.

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>You can do better.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 2>They know me. Here, Gwyneth Paltrow has a message for

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 2>you via us flex and rooms on cater I know

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 2>what you're thinking. I don't want to hear anything about Gwyneth.

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe in what she pedals, and that's neither

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>here nor there. But she is a marketing genius to

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>make Evolver can and you do it too. It for check,

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 2>you do it too. She made a bag how much

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money? And if not from the actual sales,

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the marketing was it.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>This candle smells like my vagina.

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, do you remember it? Yeah, it's in there.

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 2>She was on the Call Her Daddy podcast. If you know,

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, If you don't, you don't. But she was

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>asked about her relationship with Brad hit. I didn't know

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that we together. Should i've known that?

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know?

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Other interesting, Not that I care about her feelings towards

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Brad Pitt, but she made this really great temperature analogy.

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 2>And I love an analogy because sometimes I feel like

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 2>explaining something in an abstract way gives you an opportunity

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to think creatively about how you feel about the situation.

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, I didn't even really understand how to listen to

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 3>my instincts and act from that place, like for what

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 3>was right for me, I was always trying to adjudicate

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 3>like what's right for everybody else. Being the sort of

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 3>thermostat and the room like, oh, you know, it's getting

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 3>a little uncomfortable, like let me cool it down, like

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 3>it's getting cold, let me warm things up.

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And what I really liked about that analogy is because,

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of ways, I think it's a really

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 2>beautiful skill to be able to sus survive in a

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>room and adjust yourself accordingly for the benefit of you,

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 2>but also the people in the room, and assuming the

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 2>role because somebody has to maybe nobody has to. Maybe

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>that's the flaw of being the temperature adjuster. Maybe nobody

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 2>has to adjust the vibe. You just do what you want,

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>but for her to be able to clock that and

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>then say to herself, well, if I maintain almost like

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the adjudicator for everybody in the room, who is making

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 2>sure that when my temperature is off that I'm being adjusted,

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 2>that I'm like the beneficiary of somebody else stepping outside

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 2>of their comfort zone to make sure I'm okay. And

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 2>so I was thinking about environmental scenarios where we could

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>do less temperature adjusting, but I don't know how I

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>would do it without taking it to a selfish point

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and over correcting me like, well, I'm not gonna step

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 2>in at all, Like when do you pick and choose

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 2>when it's time to be the person who manipulates a

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>situation for the better.

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that the temperature adjuster, if you really feel

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>like you're the one always does it, I think you

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>should voice it. And then it gives people the opportunity.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>People might say, yeah, you are and then when you

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>stop doing it, people can say, oh, you're not doing

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that thing, and then you can say, yeah, I'm not

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>doing it because xyz to me. I really don't like

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the idea that people put themselves out and don't tell

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>me and then resent me. It's not fair, Like leave

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>your martyrdom to your dan self. Okay. It's like if

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>someone does something for you, you're not going to bother

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the temperature stat up to where it

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>should be.

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 2>That's so true. Give people a chance to mess up

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and course correct on their own. I like that anyway.

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to Gwyneth. You did that. You've been listening

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.840
