Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: Happy Monday, Hello weeen is coming up soon. Today we
Speaker 2: chat about Harry styles and sleepings.
Speaker 3: Sleep slots that if you have trouble sleeping, it might
Speaker 3: you just might not have reached your slot. Yeah, wait
Speaker 3: your turn, mummy? Can I listen to Flex and Rooms
Speaker 3: Flex and Frooms, I Kit.
Speaker 2: We have amazing loyal listeners. If you're listening and you
Speaker 2: listen every day, thank you so much. And often we
Speaker 2: get unsolicited dms about dreams that people have about us.
Speaker 2: Oftentimes they are very fun from our fellow girls. Here
Speaker 2: is one from Laura. I had a dream about Flex
Speaker 2: and Rooms last night. I met them in the afternoon
Speaker 2: at a bar with live music. I'm going to guess
Speaker 2: it was a sneaky sound system.
Speaker 1: That's me adding in a little bit.
Speaker 2: It was outdoors and we were in the roped off
Speaker 2: VIP section. Nice naturally, Flex and I sauntered confidently to
Speaker 2: the bar. It's giving powerful woman and how to look
Speaker 2: at the cocktail menu. We decided on these white chocolate
Speaker 2: flavor espresso martinis with flaked chocolate crumb on top. Oh
Speaker 2: my word, why don't they exist flakes a white chocolate
Speaker 2: espresso martini.
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
Speaker 2: I am sixteen weeks pregnant and now I've had a
Speaker 2: couple of espresso martini dreams because I can't drink them
Speaker 2: at the moment.
Speaker 1: Teah, can you not even have one?
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure you could have a couple, but no,
Speaker 3: you'd hate.
Speaker 2: Yeah redacted anyway, Flex was like, well, order too, and
Speaker 2: then we turned to frooms sitting at a table when
Speaker 2: she said get six. Then the dream was ruined because
Speaker 2: I had to go in an alleyway to have a
Speaker 2: scrag fight with some other girls.
Speaker 1: Sounds a bit real.
Speaker 2: Pass coded before I woke up. Didn't even get to
Speaker 2: taste my drink. I just wanted to let you know
Speaker 2: about your feature in my dream.
Speaker 1: Love you chicks. Thanks for the potty.
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with that Laura premonition.
Speaker 1: Honestly, good luck with the baby is it? Are you
Speaker 1: going to figure out what the sex is? Do you care?
Speaker 2: Are you doing a gender a real party? I've never
Speaker 2: been to one of those.
Speaker 3: Not you setting Laura up. Don't listen to her bag.
Speaker 3: Interesting news. Prada, the designer brand is going to the moon.
Speaker 3: Is this the greatest brand? Collaboration ever? Was this the
Speaker 3: most unseerious bit of news we've ever spoken about? Not
Speaker 3: joking when I say so. Prada and NASA are collabing.
Speaker 3: They're designing the space suits for NASA's upcoming mission to
Speaker 3: the Moon. According to Bloomberg, astronauts on an upcoming NASA
Speaker 3: space mission, we'll head to the Moon in style and
Speaker 3: Prita spacesuits. Why are they going? I wanted to figure
Speaker 3: it out. Is it just for pr No, It's for
Speaker 3: Artemis III, which is the first manned lunar landing since
Speaker 3: Apollo seventeen in nineteen seventy two. And I was like, Okay, cool,
Speaker 3: where's the rest of the information because you would think, like,
Speaker 3: why don't we know about this moon landing trip? I
Speaker 3: don't have to hear about it through Prada. Maybe this
Speaker 3: is why they're doing it.
Speaker 2: To get like so that people actually care, Yeah, for actual,
Speaker 2: actual pr because if they were just wearing their regular outfits,
Speaker 2: we wouldn't be talking about it at all. I think
Speaker 2: they've got to change it up because there's all that
Speaker 2: alien talk about, you know, like everyone's like, now we
Speaker 2: believe aliens fully exist, so now we need to bring
Speaker 2: it back to the humans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, humanizer, so put people in cute outfits, so we care.
Speaker 3: And so I started doing some more research about Artemis
Speaker 3: three and if there was anything particularly interesting or groundbreaking
Speaker 3: for the average person, not just you know, an astro enthusiast.
Speaker 3: And all that I got is that'll be the first
Speaker 3: mission to land a woman and a person of color
Speaker 3: on the moon. And I said, we should have led
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 2: Please, guys, I would have cared about that.
Speaker 3: But back to the information we have here, and you
Speaker 3: shouldn't know.
Speaker 1: Well, I am excited to see the suits.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, like, you know, the nineteen nineties, early two thousands,
Speaker 2: prior of.
Speaker 1: Looks that were like the very hmm.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hope it's cute, but I think for
Speaker 3: the most part, it's just going to be a regular.
Speaker 3: It would have to abide by so many rules to
Speaker 3: be fit for purpose that I doubt they could add
Speaker 3: any flavor. But a cute little triangle prior to logo.
Speaker 2: That'd be not that'd be wonders FLEXI have you seen
Speaker 2: the Facebook groups? Are we dating the same guy? No?
Speaker 3: I haven't been in one, but I know of them.
Speaker 3: Have you been in it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, just for funzies, which allegedly is not allowed in
Speaker 2: these groups. They say, if you're just here to be nosy,
Speaker 2: get out. I'm still part of a group now. I've
Speaker 2: always wondered when you're posting, when these women are posting
Speaker 2: about guys, like what are the legal ramifications? Like?
Speaker 1: Is this actually allowed?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Are you doing something illegal? Are you well?
Speaker 2: I read an article on The Guardian about it, and
Speaker 2: it tells a story of how a woman is on
Speaker 2: a date with a guy then she sees a woman
Speaker 2: go behind him and tap him on the shoulder, and
Speaker 2: then it turns out that she says to the girl, oh,
Speaker 2: he's he is already in a relationship, and I found
Speaker 2: out he was in a relationship when I was dating him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so she's done the doxing, the IRL doxing, right, which
Speaker 2: is just like an in real life version of the
Speaker 2: online doxing that we see every day on these are
Speaker 2: we Dating the Same Guy?
Speaker 1: Page?
Speaker 2: This woman said that she felt the need. She thought
Speaker 2: it was her civic duty to let this other woman
Speaker 2: know that he has history of cheating. Right. Do you
Speaker 2: think that's a fair enough thing to do or do
Speaker 2: you think everyone should just stay out of it?
Speaker 3: I'm still confused because this sounds like an extreme circumstance, Like,
Speaker 3: what are the odds that you're going to be on
Speaker 3: a date with someone and their literal X is right
Speaker 3: behind them to tell you that they cheated on them.
Speaker 2: Well, she also said that he had taken this woman
Speaker 2: to a date spot where they had their first date.
Speaker 3: So this kind of just feels like dating to me.
Speaker 2: That's the thing with these groups is often some of
Speaker 2: the women are like, I just match with this guy.
Speaker 2: What's the tea on him?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So they just want tea, which I get. I think
Speaker 2: when you first start dating someone, you want to know
Speaker 2: the inside scoop. You have no mutuals, but allegedly because
Speaker 2: I see the other side, if someone's abusive or like
Speaker 2: genuinely dangerous, you need to know. Carla Wilshire, the CEO
Speaker 2: of Social Policy Group and the director of Center for
Speaker 2: Digital Well Being, says that women are driven to use
Speaker 2: the sites to protect themselves.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 2: She said women feel the need to do this because
Speaker 2: the platforms have effectively failed them on safety.
Speaker 1: True, true, true.
Speaker 2: She wants that semi public shaming has inherent problems, which
Speaker 2: I think we can agree with. She also says you
Speaker 2: can never really determine the intent of the user. That
Speaker 2: could be wanting to protect other women from someone who
Speaker 2: has perpetuated significant abuse, but then also a private relationship
Speaker 2: that's broken down because the other party hasn't behaved in
Speaker 2: a way that met expectations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's different.
Speaker 3: So what's are there any legal ramifications? What's the article saying?
Speaker 3: Is it just like it can potentially these are the
Speaker 3: considerations to make or is it a cautionary tale?
Speaker 1: There is a takeaway, believed or not.
Speaker 2: The federal government has told dating apps to develop a
Speaker 2: code of practice to address sexual assault and abuse on
Speaker 2: their platforms. The Communications Minister Michelle Rowland wrote to the
Speaker 2: ten most popular dating sites in September, warning that if
Speaker 2: they didn't improve their safety outcomes by the middle of
Speaker 2: the year, the government would develop legislation to force and
Speaker 2: detach action because we knew how sometimes someone on a
Speaker 2: date with someone from a redacted dating app and then
Speaker 2: something really awful happened and they delete their.
Speaker 1: Account the evidence is gone.
Speaker 2: So hopefully that's going to change, because I agree. I
Speaker 2: think if there was better systems in place or bitter
Speaker 2: ways to report people, then it would this would be
Speaker 2: less necessary. You're listening to Flex and Rooms on kit.
Speaker 3: We have a very special secret on behalf of Harry
Speaker 3: Styles to you. What is it in keeping secret from us?
Speaker 3: Is it his dating history? No, I mean pr relationships,
Speaker 3: they're real, They're not real, not our business. Is it
Speaker 3: the way he really feels about one direction?
Speaker 1: You gotta keep that one under wraps.
Speaker 3: But they could never come clean. He could never, ever
Speaker 3: ever say I hated every single moment of that. I
Speaker 3: was always the star xyz.
Speaker 2: It must be a real good feeling being in a
Speaker 2: group of five and knowing the other star.
Speaker 1: Literally.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Apparently the secret is, and it comes to us
Speaker 3: from Gray's mitchlik on TikTok.
Speaker 4: Harry Styles is actually bald.
Speaker 1: And here's all the proof.
Speaker 4: Some of his fans have taken pictures during his performances
Speaker 4: of his hair piece for lying on.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that's so convincing.
Speaker 4: So an anonymous tip was sent to this account and
Speaker 4: it says an a less musician slash occasional actor has
Speaker 4: a dirty little secret he hasn't shared with fans. Literally,
Speaker 4: he has almost gone completely bald. His hair piece is
Speaker 4: so lifelike that only a good eye could pick it
Speaker 4: out and that's not a bad day.
Speaker 3: However, he doesn't take it off and clean and enough.
Speaker 1: What it's so specific, do you know what?
Speaker 3: I can imagine this would be a secret that he keeps.
Speaker 3: The thing about any kind of celebrity, especially a pop star,
Speaker 3: especially someone who has been in a boy band. You
Speaker 3: are clinging so hard to the fantasy of youth, like
Speaker 3: your life and career depends on it, because it does
Speaker 3: the gnome absolutely. I mean, the fantasy people are attracted
Speaker 3: to is this boyish boy being hot in public. They
Speaker 3: don't want a manly man archetype. They want Harry Styles
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three to be the phys manifestation of
Speaker 3: what they wish he was when they were younger, right,
Speaker 3: you know, because it was weird back then to be
Speaker 3: crushing on this guy who's like barely an adult. But
Speaker 3: now he's a full adult. We don't want the wrinkles
Speaker 3: and the balding. We just want the consent.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think he should be allowed to be bald.
Speaker 3: Guys, No, no, get in line. Think about all the
Speaker 3: women's celebrities who are not allowed to just like have
Speaker 3: children and like maintain their physical body or appearance afterwards.
Speaker 3: All the people who have alopecia and can't just like
Speaker 3: be who they need to be. The line disease folks,
Speaker 3: everyone has to make so many adjustments for the things
Speaker 3: that they're going through. Get in linking everybody's doing him
Speaker 3: a little bit of suffering makes everyone a bit more grateful.
Speaker 3: This is true.
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 3: If you ever thought that you were a bad sleeper
Speaker 3: because of genetics or your lifestyle, have you ever considered
Speaker 3: that someone else has maybe taken up your sleep slot? Interesting?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: I came across this TikTok and I don't know what
Speaker 3: can you date with TikTok? Is that you can't s
Speaker 3: people people's use names like you just see what they're
Speaker 3: gonna name themselves?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so much?
Speaker 3: How do I go back and find she want?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: I take a screenshot.
Speaker 1: They do that with Instagram viewers as well.
Speaker 3: Strange, very frustrating. But this person said, what if there's
Speaker 3: a maximum amount? This person said, what if there is
Speaker 3: a maximum amount of people on Earth that can sleep
Speaker 3: at the same time? And when we can't get to
Speaker 3: sleep with because we're on a waiting list, so we
Speaker 3: have to wait until a space is free to get
Speaker 3: to sleep, because that makes the most sense, I think.
Speaker 3: Isn't it so disconcerting when you're like, I'm doing everything
Speaker 3: the same, Like I am not like scrolling more, I
Speaker 3: like woke up early. I'm exhausted, So what is the issue.
Speaker 3: And then you start doing, oh, I'm counting sheep and meditating.
Speaker 3: I might something must be wrong with me. It's just
Speaker 3: not your time yet. I love that Barry and Calgarry
Speaker 3: has got your slot, baby, and if you as soon
Speaker 3: as he wakes up, you go the next in. And
Speaker 3: that's why we get so tired in the middle of
Speaker 3: the day, because we're kind of like, maybe that was
Speaker 3: our slot and we've given up that slot, so we
Speaker 3: don't go to the back of the waiting list.
Speaker 2: That would really make sense, especially because there must be
Speaker 2: some ancient wisdom that we're not plugged into nowadays.
Speaker 3: Kind of reminds you of pilates classes. Like, I don't
Speaker 3: know what it is. We're trying to book a pilarates class,
Speaker 3: but if you want to go somewhere reputable and cute,
Speaker 3: you have to book like four weeks in advance. I
Speaker 3: don't know what I'm doing tomorrow truly, to now be
Speaker 3: booking four weeks in advance and be charged a penalty
Speaker 3: if I cancel a class because I can't make the slot,
Speaker 3: or putting myself on a random waiting list and if
Speaker 3: I can't go to that class, I gotta pay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the waiting list is like they tell
Speaker 2: you half an hour before babes.
Speaker 1: Hope you do that.
Speaker 3: Oh, apparently plenty of people, because the system works for
Speaker 3: a lot of people, and it doesn't work for twice
Speaker 3: as anymore. Anyway, consider that the next time you can't sleep,
Speaker 3: don't be hard on yourself. It's just not your time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been listening to the Flex and Frooms Daily podcast.
