<v Speaker 1>Always Sonny, Always Sunny.

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 2>A flexin Frooms live show recording brought to you by

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 2>CATA and Specsavers.

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 3>Well in the Flex and Froos podcast. I know what

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 3>you're thinking, what's the little noises? I'm hearing a barge.

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Not that we're on the barge. We're on an island

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 3>that's floating in Sydney Harbor. The sun is shining down.

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Do we have an audience? That's right, we have an

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 3>audience of rabid fans of the show Flex and Frooms.

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's just cut straight to the podcast, Cata Flex and Frooms.

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Flex and Frooms. What the frick?

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.639
<v Speaker 4>If you've ever been broken up with and you are hot? Objectively, yes,

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 4>you may be entitled to financial compensation.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Can again? Ah? Who oh nice?

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Who?

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I got her flavor? I know.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 4>I just wanted to see if we were doing like

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 4>a call in response cult leader one oh one? If

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 4>I say something, will you do it? We're working well?

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 4>So at first I thought this was fake news because

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 4>I did hear it from a podcast, and we do

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 4>know from personal experience, fact checking a secondary to telling

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 4>a good stories true.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Can get ana? Who?

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we have a little pattern Place says yeah, yeah, so,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 4>but I will say, after I saw this TikTok, I

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 4>did go on BBC World and did confirm that if

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 4>you are objectively hot and you are dating in China,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 4>you can be entitled to compensation if you get broken

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 4>up with. Then you might be saying, under what circumstance

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 4>would that make sense?

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you so from what I gather.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 4>If you are someone who has access to dating someone

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 4>who is in their prime, they're eligible, They've got a

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 4>good thing.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Going for them.

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 4>They're the kind of person that if they were on

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 4>the market, they would have options and suitors. And you

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 4>decide to waste their time by dating them, loving them,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 4>and then leaving them. The amicable, respectable thing to do

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>is to calculate the worth of that relationship, the worth

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 4>of what they gave up to be with you, and

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 4>then give them that money so you can leave that

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 4>relationship with a clean slate, all in safe. Put up

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 4>the flex paddle. Okay, this is crazy, this is crazy. Okay,

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 4>so that was like a fifty to fifty. Let me

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 4>get you some more information that might sweeten sweeten the

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 4>experience for you. You might be wondering, also, how did

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 4>this come to be? Who made this up? Well, there

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 4>is nothing like a scorned X. And what people were

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.119
<v Speaker 4>finding is that once they had done the breaking up being,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 4>their reputation was soiled by word of mouth. Of course,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 4>you know the best advertising there is. So to avoid guilt,

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 4>to avoid ruining your potential of finding a new elder person,

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 4>to potentially waste their time, just chuck them something light,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 4>something light.

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>What is that number? A simple calculation?

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.079
<v Speaker 4>How much are you willing to pay someone for them

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 4>not to ruin your chance of finding love again?

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can put a price on that,

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>are you sure? Yeah?

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well it's for an example. Anyone feel free to

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 4>yell it out. Let's say you're about to get broken

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 4>up with, or reminisce or time where you were broken

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 4>up with. What amount of money would have made it

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 4>hurt much less? Ten ten grand before or after tax?

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 3>This?

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Want to make sure.

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 4>After tax? Okay, any other numbers, let's be honest. One

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 4>hundred bulls. Oh, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair. And

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 4>if it's not the money you're after, and you want

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 4>some other kind of compensation for getting your heart broken,

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:31.839
<v Speaker 4>what would feel good to you?

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Just yell it out.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 4>Ah, my king, I'm kind of love, I'm kind of ass.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Were true, perhaps a trip to the island upon which

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 3>are now? Look, did you know that James Packer was

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 3>sued by Mariah Carey. So I was talking about this

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 3>with someone before because we're seeing these amazing boats on

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 3>the harbor. Here, we're on the harbor and thinking one

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 3>of these James Packer. Yeah, sure, and she sued him

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 3>I think seven million dollars and one for literally wasting

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 3>her time as she should.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 4>I have been known to say that the world is

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 4>not ready for innovation on a scale that will actually

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 4>change our lives. You saw what happened with Google glasses

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 4>that came out. People weren't ready for it done. You

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 4>also saw what happened I would say when we were

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 4>in high school. Let's not do the math, but between

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know ten and twenty years ago.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Five years ago, but anyway, fuck, you're right.

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Anyway when you'd see like traditional corporate businessmen with bluetooth earphones,

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 4>and even that felt far too advance for what we

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 4>had expected where we expected the world to go right.

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 4>And so this idea of recognizing a relationship for what

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 4>it is for most people transactional. I need something from you,

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 4>you need something from me. We come together to both

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 4>commit to fulfilling those needs for each other.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>You take away the poetry. It's a trend action.

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Much like when you go somewhere, you have an expectation,

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 4>you give something in exchange for that thing, and it's done.

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>My issue is I wouldn't say it's an issue.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 4>My my my plea qual plea is that you would

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 4>consider that. I feel like what makes breakups difficult is

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 4>that often the person gets broken up with feels like

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 4>number one, it's a spanner in the works. I did

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 4>not prepare for this, and it's actually changed the course

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 4>of my life without my permission correct.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like a lot of us, you know,

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>we've grown.

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Up in an environment where we feel like we have

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of agency to choose what we do, when

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 4>we do it, how we do it in the pace

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 4>that we want to. And someone external to you is

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 4>now getting to decide the pace of your life. So

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 4>maybe I mean, like, how was it take to get

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 4>over someone you dated properly? Like out of mind? I

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 4>don't want anything to do with them. Can we get

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.919
<v Speaker 4>a consensus if it's a year year more or less

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 4>than a year.

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.119
<v Speaker 1>That's in sensitive folcus down the body.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm not saying like you do not want to

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 4>date them anyone because they discus. I'm talking like to

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 4>have such neutral feelings. You barely remember their name, you

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 4>don't think about them. That's a long time. Yeah, Like

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember the boyfriends I've had from like eight years.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Ago, but the one from two somewhere see in the

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 3>crania opposite.

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I have distinct.

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Memories of my first boyfriend, but all the rest is

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 3>just to blur, oh, shout out, you know who you are.

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Fair. I'm just kidding, just kidding. She's like, Brookie, can

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>we take that one out please? I'm sure he doesn't

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>listen to the show.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 4>So I feel like, in a practical sense, it would

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 4>be respectful for someone to say, I acknowledge that this

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 4>isn't fair. I acknowledge it isn't just, and I respect

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 4>that because I'm doing this, it's now going to impact

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 4>you for longer than you intend to. Here's a gift,

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 4>a token of my affection.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 3>It's got to be monetary so I can get rid

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 3>of it. I don't like having mementos from past relationships.

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>It makes me sad. Yeah, I think that's fair, except

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>for my time in Parlor records. Please elaborate.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.799
<v Speaker 3>Nah, Okay, I love Tamy Parlor.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Put your paddle up if you love Tamy Pala Okay,

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.560

<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine that's Batman was dropping stacks.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you're giving too much credit.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 3>And now you know like it was an amical breakup.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.559
<v Speaker 3>So I listened to the records. I wear the hoodie.

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 3>If you ever see me wearing an orange Tamy Parla hoodie,

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 3>that was my king.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>This is a lot of detail for me. Oh it's okay.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Can I ask the question? Paddles up? Amicable breakups are

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 4>real thing. Okay, I'm gonna leave it there. That's a

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 4>hard note for the girly flecks. And now we do

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.600

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>He's got a question for us. We love taking questions

0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and I a DJ giving them. Hello. Firstly, my burning

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>question is what were your first impressions of each other

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>when you first met all right. Let's start off. I

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>sitting the scene. We've got Ariel in the front row.

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>She's wearing.

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Is that a knitted top with some linen pants and

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 3>some converse in her hand?

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Is a Froom's World brochure? And employee have a look

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>at that? An employee with the fruzel pen give her

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a clap. Yes, thank you. They just go like, oh

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>my god, thank you so much.

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I noted to bring the mug, but it just the

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 3>mark I used that this morning.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Me too, Me too, Yeah, it was my god, that's

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a employee.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Those packs didn't really sell quite like I thought they would,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so you want a few? I was waiting for them

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to be released. I was on my computer. I would

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>have bought more. Please do.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing for the pack from World Employee packs. I

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 3>haven't really gone into the like CEO shick in a while,

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 3>and kind of more like comments.

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 4>We had an argument with the question the term common

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 4>folk derogatory yes or no and three to two one.

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 4>If you agree, say yes three two one.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see any paddles, so I'm allowed to say

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>because I am a common folk. Okay, this is sensitive

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>topic for me.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, what was our first impressions? I'll start with you. Yeah,

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>thanks for asking this question. It's really fun. We love

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 3>talking about ourselves as if we don't do that ten

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 3>hours a day, ten hours a week. I think that

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 3>I first met you when you were working with Sports Girl.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 3>I was working a pedestrian TV rip and I was

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 3>interviewing you and you were talking about being like a

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 3>fierce woman in the media. It was very much that genre,

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 3>that era. That's kind of the only thing we would

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 3>talk about when we interviewed women.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was very quintessential. If you happen to be

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 4>a chick who does stuff, that would be like the

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 4>cornerstone of your identity, the chick doing stuff she does,

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 4>so don't worry about having skills. It's like, what is

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 4>it being a woman with those skills?

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, actually, so he's doing one of those tes I

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 3>think I was skirting around the questions because I'm cognizant

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 3>of you know, people would say that to me. People

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 3>say to comedians a lot if you are not a man,

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, they say, what is it like being a

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 3>female comedian?

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I've never gone what is it like being a female

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>media or whatever? Consider me a comedian's be gentle.

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 3>As I tell people, they're like, okay, so when do

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 3>you do stand up?

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>And I say, on the internet love.

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 3>But my impression of you was girl buss, intelligent, intimidating,

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.559
<v Speaker 3>because I think that is a core tenant of your personality.

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, And.

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it wasn't until we kind of didn't have much

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 3>of a relationship until probably two or three years ago.

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my first impression of through Me was that you

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 4>reminded me of Alexa Chung very specifically. Do we know

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 4>who that is doing this a very specific time on

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 4>the internet, But Alexa Chung was an English TV presenter

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 4>and she's like, very fashionable and very like quintessentially. I

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 4>don't want to say it the Q word quirky, quirky woman,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>but I just never met anybody like that, and I

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 4>think that being not a woman in media, but at

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.079
<v Speaker 4>the time, it's very isolating, not a lot of chicks

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.599
<v Speaker 4>hanging around doing stuff, and so when we converged to

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 4>a chill, I will say, though, my first impression was

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 4>clouded because, like through Me says, we didn't end up

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 4>being friends until years after meeting each other, but everybody

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 4>thought that we were friends. Especially so I was constantly

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 4>having to be like, oh, no, I don't I don't

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 4>really know her.

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know her that well. On like, we're

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>just acquaintances.

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 4>We're just acquaintances, which is a very odd thing to

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 4>now have someone like in your in your orbit. But

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 4>then you're like, I'm not any closer to you. I

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 4>just keep telling you. I'm like, no, like I'm also

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 4>a fan. I'm also a fan. I just comment on

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 4>her stuff, like, no, I don't know her that well.

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like when you're on LinkedIn and there's like associated

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 3>people on the side.

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of what it was.

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we were associates. Pet put us off if you

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 3>think we're friends. Now we're just colleague.

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.959
<v Speaker 1>No comment, flex and fruits.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I was driving through Randick the other day again I'm

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.239
<v Speaker 3>going to use a random suburb because I love details,

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 3>and I was coming around roundabout and I was doing

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 3>that thing where you enter the roundabout and you want

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 3>to do a full UI. Alright, so one eighty isn't

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.119
<v Speaker 3>one name three sixty?

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>This is right? Yeah great.

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.839
<v Speaker 3>I laughed for recorded the audience because my mic goes,

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 3>is that right, FLI, this is nope.

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>And then no, I said, I said, so is it

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:29.839
<v Speaker 1>one eighty question?

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Mark?

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Great in notation, so's one eighty isn't a.

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Question anyway, I'm going into this roundabout.

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 3>The blinker is on and I'm going around, and this

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 3>car comes out as if I'm going to just turn right,

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 3>but I'm actually doing you turn this close okay, nearly

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 3>hits into my brand new hey un day. And if

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.319
<v Speaker 3>you've been listening to the show since we started, you'll

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 3>know that my car was ransacked or you were a

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 3>victim of an arson attack and arson came in and

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 3>burnt my whole seat. Did you know this paddles up?

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 4>If you knew, thank you guys, because I felt like

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 4>when we were talking about that, people thought we were

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 4>being facetious and quite like chill with it. It's a

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 4>very unchill thing to happen to come back from a holiday,

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 4>open your vehicle and feel that it's.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Been burnt to a Chris.

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 3>That stinch, that stench was absolutely foul. But I say

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 3>this sor to say.

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>If you are in a road.

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Accident, these are the things you need to do. Has

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.439
<v Speaker 3>anyone here been in a road accident? Put your padle up,

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe please bring a microphone to this gentleman.

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, a targeted attack.

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>It's just a few questions, sir, just a few questions.

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Testing one too. Hello, what's your name? Brock Brock yet

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 1>tell us exactly hot? What was the car accident? Trauma?

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Part of traumatizing. I literally got my piece in like

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>March last year.

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's stop, let's stop. There, got my piece.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 2>It gets to like June and I was driving my

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 2>friend home. I go.

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:06.320
<v Speaker 1>He didn't want to do it?

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Do it?

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you the friend? Different break but not my fault.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to drive the phone, but I just

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 2>did because I felt bad.

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, and no details.

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 2>We get to this intersection and it was like a

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>stop sign and then stop sign on the other side.

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>But then there was like a main road here, so

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>two stop signs, and I was like, there's a car there.

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I was supposed to let them go.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like maybe maybe not. Anyway, get there and

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm waiting to go, but then I kind of just

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 2>looked to the left to the right, and then there

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 2>was no cars and I drive out and a car

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 2>comes flying and just pulls the front of my car,

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, okay, whose fat. Well, I would advocate,

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not my fault.

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, did you stop for five seconds at the

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>stop sign? Three? Okay, so it was your fault.

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 2>The break was okay, I stopped, but they were just

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 2>they were speeding.

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, look that was feeding.

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 3>So st I will say, I do need to actually

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 3>tell you the tips which was for this segment.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 1>If that happens to you, make sure.

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 3>You figure out where they speeding and see if they

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 3>were breaking any car.

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 2>You know that though they said they were in a

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>rush to at the train station.

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>So I write that down incriminating.

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Great soon as you to get out of the car,

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 3>put the voice member on.

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, just in case they say, yes, it was my fault.

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what you want them to say. And finally make

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>sure there's witnesses and that's on.

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 4>That flex and frims flex and fromes Kater never miss

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 4>a beat.

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 3>If you're a listener of the show, you know that

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I recently discovered that I'm thirty three percent Scottish, which

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 3>is making sense. Let's be real, Flexi, I'm a big

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 3>fan of the beach. This is a recent development in

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 3>my personality. Now I am I am a surf.

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been serving.

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Twice and that's actually really impressive. It's like quite hard

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 3>to bring the board down to the beach and then

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 3>like get on the wave. Anyway, I think it's really

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 3>important to.

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Have beach safety. What's with you in safety these days?

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Kud out.

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 4>We're in twenty twenty three. The world does not end

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 4>in our lifetime.

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope not.

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 4>Even if it's before, then let's shake things up. I

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 4>want people to be reckless, hot, reckless educated. No, that's

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 4>the trifecta. No, babes, it's funny.

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I didn't think I was going to do two educational

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 3>content pieces in the one show. I'm very, very passionate

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 3>about the beach and beach safety. I swim often at

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Bondi Beach, not to docks myself every morning that I am.

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Through Me. You know that's a joke.

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I literally I feel like I care more about frume

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 4>safety than through Me does because I'm like, there have

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 4>been so many uncanny, borderline, extremely unchilled things that have

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 4>happened that are location based to through Me, and I

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 4>fear that they would not have happened if she wasn't

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 4>telling hundreds of thousands of millions of people every day

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 4>where she goes frequently.

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>So I was going to this bar.

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 3>It's like three point five k is made from my

0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 3>house in the northwestern direction. No, and I'm really passionate

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 3>about being saved at the beach because I've seen too

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 3>many horrible things happened.

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I've actually something that's and this is not a laughing matter.

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Something that happened that I saw about this time last

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 3>year was I actually saw someone drown at Bondi Beach,

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 3>which you would think that can't happen. It's the most

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 3>patrolled beach in Australia. There's a whole show bond and

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 3>I Rescue about it. But I saw this man drown

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 3>and ever since I saw that, I only ever swim

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.640
<v Speaker 3>between the flags. And I just want to say, if

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 3>you happen to try and swim between somewhere that is

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 3>in between the flags, I think it's really important to.

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Learn what a rip is. You paddle if you know

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>what a rip is. Just learnt on TikTok the other day.

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 3>I did. I am a Melbourne hottie, so I didn't

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 3>really grow up around the beach, but since moving to

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 3>insert suburb near the beach in eastern suburbs, It's like.

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Is it not? Serian?

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 3>I learned that I had to discover what a rip

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 3>looks like just really quickly. If you see water breaking

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 3>on the shore with the whitewash, it's most likely not

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 3>a rib.

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The way that a rip works.

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Is like you see two white bits, but then something's

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 3>not breaking in the middle. That means that it's a

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 3>water channel going out.

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Surfers often use them.

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 3>My brethren, to get to your community. They're getting broken

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 3>on the waves. But all I'll say is just if

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.720
<v Speaker 3>there's flags. Wait, give the fun fact though from the

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 3>TikTok Oh. Yeah, there was this TikTok that flexi tagmin,

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 3>which is like this surfer guy really drunk in fee.

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Like a frame like that is actually really really good

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to get it. Okay, hold on, everyone, no, you

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>explain it. You had it.

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm pulling my fingers up into the air and then

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 3>pushing them down through the middle, and that's how the

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 3>rip works, is the water goes out and down into

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 3>the middle.

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 4>And so I think he was kind of explaining, I'm

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 4>not in in the beach like that, but it's good

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 4>to have this information. He was kind of explaining that

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 4>on instinct, if you get stuck in a rip, you're

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 4>you want to like challenge it by swimming the other

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 4>way or just at least fighting to not get carried away,

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 4>because he wants to be in the middle of the

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 4>ocean when you're not on.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 1>A luxury barge.

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Right, So he was essentially saying, just let the rip

0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.479
<v Speaker 4>carry you through because it's gonna take you around and

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 4>back through and take you around and back through, and

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 4>I think eventually you get saved.

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure.

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Just float, which don't panic in exactly, float on your

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 3>back and float on your back and.

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Then take you out and then just capfully take waves

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>back here. You ever been caught in a rip? No,

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:29.879
<v Speaker 1>I am a lifesa.

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh here, I am showboating all the mi We have

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 3>actually a lifesaver up on.

<v Speaker 5>My first training session, I actually got douts like I

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:44.480
