Speaker 1: The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: As the hell everybody starting New Zealand accent. I was like,
Speaker 3: this is producer Brookers New Zealand. But because she's such
Speaker 3: a fucking banshee, she always she always comes out Australian
Speaker 3: vibes because she saw a banshee energy which is indicative
Speaker 3: of her Australian vibes.
Speaker 2: Do you agree? Can you talking to a New Zealand accent? Quickly?
Speaker 3: Taylor?
Speaker 2: Hello, my name is Brooke Taylor. Hot bring that that's
Speaker 2: a little Brooks. That makes you even hotter? Yeah? I
Speaker 2: like that? And you are looking good today?
Speaker 3: Yeah that's hot. That felt right. New Zealand is the
Speaker 3: best country. I think it's actually the best country. And
Speaker 3: I've never been neither. I just like, I really like
Speaker 3: Rose Matafayo Yep. The artist, yep, comedian, the guy that
Speaker 3: does thaw Taikobatiti his early.
Speaker 2: Work and also his late work.
Speaker 3: Once he did this short film about two kids in
Speaker 3: a car in a car park.
Speaker 2: Check it out.
Speaker 3: Otherwise it's just like the New Zealand vibe. My dad's
Speaker 3: best friends in New Zealand and he's crazy. Shout out mctaggett.
Speaker 3: He once he changes street name in Saint Kilda in
Speaker 3: Melbourne and the council just adopted it. It's McTaggart lane.
Speaker 3: Oh he's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's a bit of you. Yeah, I like him.
Speaker 2: An unarchist, an anarchist.
Speaker 1: Let's go fleck and frooms.
Speaker 4: There are Selen Gomes people. They're tailors with people. They're
Speaker 4: a Justin Bibber people.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm a Justin Bibber person. I am a fan.
Speaker 4: So last year Selena dropped a documentary which I did
Speaker 4: not watch because it took me a lot of years
Speaker 4: to realize I don't even like documentaries. I really don't.
Speaker 4: People always recommending Oh he's like a conspiracy one. Here's
Speaker 4: a kind of one.
Speaker 2: I just don't think I care.
Speaker 4: All these musician ones are the I want to I
Speaker 4: just want to consume fiction, fiction, fiction, fiction.
Speaker 2: That's good, it opens your mind more. I agree.
Speaker 4: So, I though I did hear some residual buzz, you know,
Speaker 4: the kind of buzz that is so big that it's
Speaker 4: reaching the mainstream. And then I've picked up a few
Speaker 4: headlines and so from what I gathered, Selena Gomes has
Speaker 4: had a lot of health complications in her life and
Speaker 4: at some point in time needed a kidney and her
Speaker 4: friend at the time and they were kind of like
Speaker 4: acting friends who became good friends. Francier Riser was put
Speaker 4: on the short list to be a kidney donor because
Speaker 4: I had like compatible types of whatever's required.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 4: So it came out that one day Francier gets a
Speaker 4: call from Selena, and Selena's like, oh my goodness, I'm
Speaker 4: so excited, like you're a match, so like I can
Speaker 4: have your kidney, And Frankie was kind of like, oh shit,
Speaker 4: Like it was like it was a possibility. But like
Speaker 4: the way she came at me being so excited, I
Speaker 4: felt I didn't have a choice that I needed to
Speaker 4: give her the kidney, because like she's really hype, and
Speaker 4: like I hadn't committed my self to being without the kidney,
Speaker 4: and like I didn't really need it, but I didn't
Speaker 4: really want to.
Speaker 2: Give it away, and like we were friends, but will
Speaker 2: be that close.
Speaker 4: Long story short, she gives her the kidney right years later,
Speaker 4: as in now last year twenty twenty two, the documentary
Speaker 4: comes out and Selena you know, goes through and she's
Speaker 4: thanking all these people who were instrumental in her life
Speaker 4: and does not thank Frontier does not think kind of
Speaker 4: references it by situation, not really by specifics, like I,
Speaker 4: you know, I had a friend who gave me a kidney, la.
Speaker 2: La la, but doesn't name check her. Yeah, it doesn't
Speaker 2: name check her.
Speaker 4: And then and then goes on to say something like
Speaker 4: I have no friends in the industry.
Speaker 2: Kay yay, Sae sae safty. So it's this kidney chick
Speaker 2: in the industry.
Speaker 4: Kidney chick is an actress, yeah, Francie is a full
Speaker 4: on actress in the industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So then Francia comes out and it's kind of like, oh,
Speaker 4: that's a little bit odd, like no friends might just
Speaker 4: literally gave you a body part. And then I was
Speaker 4: thinking to myself, like, number one, this is why you
Speaker 4: gotta be careful you.
Speaker 2: Start doing favors.
Speaker 4: For number two, how many years of bragging rights are
Speaker 4: you owed when you give someone part of your body?
Speaker 4: Because as for me, you better never let that die down.
Speaker 4: Like you know, let's say, for example, I lent you
Speaker 4: a dress. Right, Let's say we're going to an award show.
Speaker 4: You say, FLEXI you can I borrow a dress? I say, yeah,
Speaker 4: every time you get a compliment in that dress, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna need you to say it's flex a tribute, right,
Speaker 4: that feels like standard. If I gave you a kidney,
Speaker 4: never take it out of your Instagram bio, I never
Speaker 4: take it.
Speaker 2: Out of your email signature. Are you joking? And then
Speaker 2: you so, wait, explain this. You've got two kidneys? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think so. If you only have one, does that
Speaker 2: mean you can't drink as much alcohol? I don't know.
Speaker 4: I feel like the thing that kidney does will move
Speaker 4: and then the gallblader will help you out or whatever.
Speaker 4: Little of a Okay, doctor flex, doctor flex pH Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a radio show.
Speaker 3: People like dead air flex. It means they can reflect
Speaker 3: as well. Listen the voice of them the voice of
Speaker 3: the every man, and every man is having thoughts. Okay, listen,
Speaker 3: that is pretty crazy. I will say. We all do
Speaker 3: the slip. You've been in an award show before, Maybe
Speaker 3: we've won something, maybe I've forgotten something. Who knows factor fision,
Speaker 3: factor fision, A little.
Speaker 2: Bit of fisi. Remind you.
Speaker 4: When I was writing my book and my publishers kept saying, like,
Speaker 4: who do you want to put any acknowledgments I was like,
Speaker 4: no one, because I'm going to forget someone.
Speaker 2: You didn't put anyone, not even your mom.
Speaker 4: No, because I'm like, I'm going to forget someone who
Speaker 4: was instrumental in some capacity who I've forgotten, or it's
Speaker 4: going to feel like hierarchied in some way. I'm not
Speaker 4: doing it. It's a set up every time. Kind of
Speaker 4: reminds me of when you see that one friend of yours,
Speaker 4: maybe they're like an acquaintance or like a party friend,
Speaker 4: someone you've established some kind of connection with on their
Speaker 4: finser talking about I have no friends, and you're like, okay.
Speaker 2: Cool, Like you just don't. I don't want the smoke,
Speaker 2: So I'm like, you know what, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: When I was at school, he's really quick.
Speaker 3: My one of my friends put on a Facebook because
Speaker 3: like all the girls went out with her out her
Speaker 3: saying all my friends are sea words.
Speaker 2: We still had three nights ago.
Speaker 1: So you see flex and fruits.
Speaker 4: It's a brand new year, twenty two twenty three. Though
Speaker 4: I should or probably will be writing twenty twenty until
Speaker 4: at least twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Five, it has a ring to it. I prefer it
Speaker 3: so sad. It was a nothing year. No, don't say that.
Speaker 3: I guess I had quite a fun year.
Speaker 2: Literally it was what you meant nothing year.
Speaker 3: That was COVID, big ronie nothing year in terms of like,
Speaker 3: it wasn't excited, it was oh las, my brain's still
Speaker 3: fried from having COVID twice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gross, I'm sorry. She more gentle. Do you do
Speaker 2: news resolutions? Off the dome?
Speaker 3: Never have never will never have, no, never made a
Speaker 3: point to never do it?
Speaker 4: What is that like some sort of like self sabotagee
Speaker 4: If I don't set goals, I don't have to fail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's the opposite.
Speaker 3: It's the opposite because if I want to do something,
Speaker 3: I should do it straight away and not wait for
Speaker 3: January's first.
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree.
Speaker 4: I don't do news resolutions, but I definitely do yearly themes.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I get them from astrology, Sometimes I get them
Speaker 4: from tarot. Sometimes I get them from my mind to
Speaker 4: make certain commitments to myself that I'm like, not goal oriented,
Speaker 4: but vibe oriented. So last year twenty twenty two was
Speaker 4: meant to be socialite era. It was meant to be
Speaker 4: the year of hedonism, vibes, leisure, pleasure, ease. It did
Speaker 4: not go well. We had acute January February, the vibes
Speaker 4: were up. I was like, I'm in Ghana, then I'm back.
Speaker 4: It's gonna go to La. It didn't happen. Meant to
Speaker 4: be at Coachelli Celly didn't happen. I said, all good
Speaker 4: or good, We'll pick it back up, pick a back up,
Speaker 4: pick it back up. We did not, in fact pick
Speaker 4: it back up until about late October November.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 4: It was a good effort, but it wasn't a consistent effort.
Speaker 4: And so what I'm finding is that this year is
Speaker 4: a similar vibe. I don't want to be a fearmonger,
Speaker 4: you know, I keep talking about the apocalypse, but I
Speaker 4: just think it's so lame to be blessed with the
Speaker 4: gift of youth and to act like an old person
Speaker 4: and not enjoy your life.
Speaker 2: It's so lame. I did that for most of my twenties.
Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: It's just so embarrassing to be like, you're young, cute, sexy, smart,
Speaker 4: You've got all this time, all these friends, all these
Speaker 4: opportunities to make memories, and you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Go to work. Have you no shame?
Speaker 4: So we're bringing that energy back into the new year.
Speaker 4: But this this year, I'm harassing people to join me.
Speaker 2: Last year, I was like, do what you want, do
Speaker 2: what you want. No, no, no, no no, no no no.
Speaker 4: If you are part of the Inner Circle, the outer
Speaker 4: Inner Circle, or the third Ring, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: So ring A stand up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, stand up for our community, the Ring A stand up.
Speaker 4: We all have to get near it in an equal
Speaker 4: or better way. Competitives getting near it. Yeah, if you're
Speaker 4: having fun, I better have some more fun.
Speaker 3: So what do you what do you call that theme?
Speaker 4: I'm still finding the word for it, but I think
Speaker 4: it's important that the vibe is communicated. I don't want
Speaker 4: to oversimplify what I'm getting at because it's so much
Speaker 4: more than service level fun.
Speaker 2: It's a commitment. So we've had getting near it spring
Speaker 2: summer season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two, and then that was definitely what was necessary
Speaker 4: to kind of like give us some acceleration into what
Speaker 4: was coming. Getting near it though, was very narrow frame
Speaker 4: of mind. Yes, right, because I'm getting me it is
Speaker 4: like cause and effect. This is so it's esoteric, it's omnipresent,
Speaker 4: it's the whole people need to feel it radiating off you.
Speaker 2: Where is she She's everywhere, She's nowhere. What does she do?
Speaker 3: Who knows people get that about me all the time?
Speaker 2: What does she do?
Speaker 4: Just as you were saying that, I just had a
Speaker 4: sudden vision of you and Clovellly.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 4: But then I was thinking, Oh my goodness, I love
Speaker 4: Clovellly because I love Out of the Blue and I've
Speaker 4: been going out of Blue out of Blue once a week,
Speaker 4: so like the last six months, I'm boxsessed.
Speaker 3: You don't talk about that all, put it on your story.
Speaker 2: It's like it's my little quiet moment. But I don't
Speaker 2: know why. I just thought of you and Clovelly.
Speaker 3: Well, I did go there a few months ago with
Speaker 3: our friend, my friend Michael, Michael Beveridge.
Speaker 2: I'm claiming him. Yeah, he's a man of yours too. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm claiming.
Speaker 3: We went to Clovelly and it was super overcast and
Speaker 3: the swell so at Clvely it's this speech in Sydney
Speaker 3: and it's kind of like there's a beach at the
Speaker 3: very end of it, and then there's two concrete slabs
Speaker 3: that extend out about five hundred meters and then in
Speaker 3: the middle there's like I call it the drink because
Speaker 3: it's kind of it's a beach, but it's kind of
Speaker 3: like a harbor because it's coming out of the ocean,
Speaker 3: but it's not protected at all. So what happens is
Speaker 3: they get these crazy choppy waves. And we'd had a
Speaker 3: long day together on Saturday and we thought we're gonna
Speaker 3: go for a dip.
Speaker 2: What happens when it's that choppy? Have you seen it?
Speaker 3: When it's that chopping, it's literally like you're I want
Speaker 3: to say Titanic, but the Titanic wasn't necessarily choppy, but
Speaker 3: it's like this was in BONDI yeah, that'd be funny.
Speaker 3: It was like when you when you're in like castaway
Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, ship is going down and the waves
Speaker 3: are going big. So the ways you're going this and
Speaker 3: what I'm clovelly is they're converging. And what you do
Speaker 3: is you jump in when the wave goes oh, because
Speaker 3: it's like quite shallow actually, so then Michael went in
Speaker 3: before me because I missed it, so he jumped in.
Speaker 3: Then I had to wait for the wave to go up.
Speaker 3: Of course I didn't time it correctly. Hit him right
Speaker 3: when it's shallow then we're playing around frolicking like he was.
Speaker 3: We're going frollicking together and like I remember just looking
Speaker 3: at him and imagine there's a big wave that's sweeping
Speaker 3: up to the left of him, that's swimming out to
Speaker 3: the right of him, and where then we had to
Speaker 3: get out. At this point people had gathered to witness
Speaker 3: us because it looked really dangerous. Then I try to
Speaker 3: get out, swept back out and I was having Bali flashbacks. Yeah, literally,
Speaker 3: so this show you know that I nearly drowned in Bali,
Speaker 3: and it's not an exaggeration at all.
Speaker 2: People were worried.
Speaker 3: Literally had to be saved by guy who runs one
Speaker 3: wave surf in Bali.
Speaker 2: If you want to do a surfing lesson in Bali.
Speaker 2: This guy saved my life.
Speaker 3: So he hit him up my news resolution of course
Speaker 3: I said that story. Oh, we just went for a
Speaker 3: really beautiful swimming cleve.
Speaker 2: That's my bad.
Speaker 3: I do really love Cleverly, But as you know, I
Speaker 3: live in Bondai, so I'm in my Bondai era.
Speaker 2: When was the last time we went out of the
Speaker 2: blue and will you go back again?
Speaker 3: I was actually at Couljie last time, like yesterday, I
Speaker 3: went to cujie couldjie women's bats, Mackaiv's baths and I
Speaker 3: went past out of the blue.
Speaker 2: But the line was popping. The line is always popping
Speaker 2: out the time. I mean the shop Era, the shop
Speaker 2: in Bondi.
Speaker 4: You have mentioned they have a Halloomi Berger as we
Speaker 4: were saying New Year's resolution, or at least give yourself.
Speaker 2: A theme, not a relation a theme.
Speaker 3: I think the theme is a better idea because I'm
Speaker 3: not about giving myself hard goals. It's not good for
Speaker 3: my brain. My theme is measured Fun. Twenty twenty two
Speaker 3: for me was hard out fust the rails.
Speaker 4: It was off the fun, bombing up chunk of cocktail, Frankfurst.
Speaker 2: A Mysy reunion. It was an absolutely banshee.
Speaker 3: I got up most days ten am, sleeping at one am.
Speaker 3: I had the time of my life and it was
Speaker 3: a correction period twenty six years of extremely by the book.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you were buy the book when you were fourteen?
Speaker 2: Were you?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I was?
Speaker 2: There's no way you said you are feral? No I was.
Speaker 3: I tried so hard and I got so far in
Speaker 3: the end, does it even matter? Flex I realized in
Speaker 3: my twenty seventh year on Earth.
Speaker 2: It doesn't. It doesn't have fun. Freaks less fucking go
Speaker 2: have fun free. But what I'm doing this year is HFF.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try and go to the beach every
Speaker 2: day because.
Speaker 3: I'm That sounds like a resolution. Go to the beach
Speaker 3: most days when I feel like it. There we go,
Speaker 3: go for a dip. You never regretted deep in between
Speaker 3: the flags of BONDI never so have you seen me
Speaker 3: down there? Go?
Speaker 2: Hello? Yeah? And do you want to stop and chat? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I sometimes have a chat on Bondo with some employees. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's it.
Speaker 2: Send us in your news resolutions.
Speaker 3: I you've got something crazy, or if you've got any
Speaker 3: theme ideas, if you got an interesting one, always yeah.
Speaker 3: Nothing about fitness, health, weight goals, productivity.
Speaker 2: Productivity particularly I don't give a far Just who cares?
Speaker 3: Guys like, yes, I get it. You need to go
Speaker 3: and do your job.
Speaker 2: That's know. I'll die on the hill of like.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say to you, just live your
Speaker 3: life because we are responsibility your life in the allocated time,
Speaker 3: but in the times all you have free time, don't
Speaker 3: do anything you don't want to do. Get rid of
Speaker 3: that productivity mindset. We're in a new era. Guys girl
Speaker 3: bosses over Yeah, yeah, that's a big boy bosses. It's
Speaker 3: boy boss rising.
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: On the other day, I was doing an Instagram story
Speaker 3: and I was reposting something that someone messaged me.
Speaker 2: But I didn't want to just do the message.
Speaker 3: I wanted to put it over a picture to give
Speaker 3: the illustration of that.
Speaker 2: I love that commitment. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So then I was looking for a scary picture
Speaker 3: type in scary picture on Google. Was I prepared for
Speaker 3: the results? Absolutely not. There's pictures of scary faces, like
Speaker 3: the chick from the Ring and like all this different stuff,
Speaker 3: which I got thinking, like, they all look kind of similar.
Speaker 3: They've all got really black eyes. They their faces are
Speaker 3: a little bit how do I say, what's the word?
Speaker 3: There's something in certain faces that make them creepy, and
Speaker 3: I wanted to get to the bottom of it scientifically,
Speaker 3: So obviously I went to Reddit and this is under
Speaker 3: the horror subreddit and it said distorted scary faces in
Speaker 3: horror and I'll read it out to you, thank you.
Speaker 3: I love how I say facts. And the first sentence
Speaker 3: of it is in my opinion, And there's a picture
Speaker 3: of the scary face.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, it's gross, isn't it. It's just a big black eyes.
Speaker 3: You're bringing energy into the room, Babe. We already have
Speaker 3: something in here.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Here, what's looking at me ready?
Speaker 3: In my opinion, the things that scare me the most
Speaker 3: in movies are when we get glimpses of these messed
Speaker 3: up and distorted faces that appear most of the times
Speaker 3: in films. They only appear for a short while, which
Speaker 3: makes them hard to fully analyze and makes it even scarier.
Speaker 2: These things.
Speaker 3: The type of scenes in horror that frighten me the most,
Speaker 3: the one from Goney Gone GM, which I haven't heard of.
Speaker 3: That movie has to be one of the most terrifying
Speaker 3: movies of all time for me. What is the psychology
Speaker 3: of this? Is it because those faces represent death fear?
Speaker 3: Or is it because they're so different from the expressions
Speaker 3: of our brains normally respond to, so that seeing these
Speaker 3: expressions makes our brains trigger our fight or flight response?
Speaker 3: Or is it just because a person is not supposed
Speaker 3: to look like that. I just find it fascinating how
Speaker 3: we can trigger our primal, animallystic fears by watching a
Speaker 3: movie I love.
Speaker 2: That's what they call it animalistic? Okay, A big job
Speaker 2: to say you're scared.
Speaker 3: So someone said that they heard that. Two things seem
Speaker 3: relevant to this. Number One, people are hardwired to recognize faces.
Speaker 3: Seeing a face morphe is messing with that. Open mouths,
Speaker 3: especially showing teeth or a sign of aggression. Even if
Speaker 3: the screams are not aggressive, we interpret them on a
Speaker 3: base level.
Speaker 2: So I didn't know about that.
Speaker 3: Apparently showing a teeth is aggressive, I guess was back
Speaker 3: in the olden days we bit people.
Speaker 2: We did? Is that true? Are you getting that from
Speaker 2: this person or just general trivia?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: Why else was we have teeth?
Speaker 4: Well? Because I feel like bearing teeth is reminding literal animals,
Speaker 4: Like a line is going to bear its teeth before
Speaker 4: it gna.
Speaker 3: People use their teeth to bite things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I feel like what we're imagining if we
Speaker 4: were once cavemen, then we're thinking of like literal predators
Speaker 4: like the.
Speaker 2: Big shark, the big light in true they have teeth. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so so many.
Speaker 3: That looks like it is. Yeah, demon faces. What's the
Speaker 3: scariest face you've ever seen?
Speaker 2: No comment? You watch horror movies? I try not to
Speaker 2: though true not now.
Speaker 4: I told you it was like a big kick at
Speaker 4: twenty five, started seeing the world differently and like, let
Speaker 4: me not.
Speaker 2: Life is scary enough. Their life is scary enough.
Speaker 3: The Babbitok. I think about the Babook sometimes when I'm
Speaker 3: gone asleep. That's a great Australian film. I feel like
Speaker 3: scary stuff.
Speaker 1: This is Flex and Frooms, so flex.
Speaker 3: I just got a message a few days ago from
Speaker 3: a listener.
Speaker 2: Called Brandon shout out Brandon my King. Hello there.
Speaker 3: I've been listening to the podcast every day since June
Speaker 3: and it's just truly one of the highlights of this
Speaker 3: little simulation we have going on. Yeah, that's great, ow King,
Speaker 3: I have goosebumps. Anyway, Curious was it always going to
Speaker 3: be flex and frooms or was it frooms and flex
Speaker 3: a possibility?
Speaker 2: Was it in alphabetical order? Situation?
Speaker 3: Was it an oldest first situation? There? Just he goes
Speaker 3: twenty four and a half and twenty four of course together.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I got the same message. I already responded, Ah.
Speaker 3: Really ah okay, I always wonder is it the like
Speaker 3: to people ever send us both the same thing? It
Speaker 3: doesn't happen often, but I'll continue. I've been thinking about
Speaker 3: what makes a good duo name. Some iconic ones include
Speaker 3: Cosmo and Wander Trixy and Katya Katya Katya. You get
Speaker 3: the gist, but I can't seem to figure out what
Speaker 3: makes them work and why they wouldn't work the other
Speaker 3: way around.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Totally nothing broke. Guys just dropped my phone onto a glass,
Speaker 3: but we're cool. What did you say to him?
Speaker 2: Flex?
Speaker 4: I said that it was always gonna be Flex and
Speaker 4: Frooms because Marty said so, something about because we had
Speaker 4: this conversation in the in the meeting. So basically, when
Speaker 4: Flex and Frooms and us, we're brain's on what the
Speaker 4: show would be about, and we couldn't figure out a name.
Speaker 4: And then big dog Marty was like, what about just
Speaker 4: Flex and Rooms.
Speaker 3: I can't believe it's ever gonna be anything else. Well,
Speaker 3: it just doesn't make sense to be anything else.
Speaker 4: And then I think the Then he was like, oh,
Speaker 4: alphabetical because L comes before R in Flex and Rooms.
Speaker 2: But I just think mouthfeel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't mention Frooms and Flex. But usually it's like,
Speaker 3: I think you put the name with the one syllable
Speaker 3: in first, but both our names have only one syllable,
Speaker 3: which is why I think it's so catchy.
Speaker 2: Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 3: It's got great mouthfeel. Flex and Frooms Lucinda. Like, it's
Speaker 3: just as simple as a one name.
Speaker 2: So if it was our government names, what would it
Speaker 2: be Lilian and Lucinda? Well, who's Lilian? But please, it's
Speaker 2: always litl.
Speaker 3: Lil and Cindy whoa, which would be Cindy and little
Speaker 3: Cindy and Lil. So that sounds like two words though,
Speaker 3: Cindy and Lil. It sounds like s I N D
Speaker 3: I A N Lil, la L Cindy and Lil. It's
Speaker 3: kind of a cute name anyway, Brandon, thank you so
Speaker 3: much for listening since June, our.
Speaker 1: King, you're listening to Flex and frooms. Okita.
Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago, I was telling Rooms about
Speaker 4: vanish mode on the iPhone. I think that was in
Speaker 4: response to me talking about I think we were talking
Speaker 4: about getting near it and of course naturally and disappearing
Speaker 4: texts or like, I don't know, I don't know what
Speaker 4: it was, but I was like, oh, like vanish mode,
Speaker 4: and You're like, what is that?
Speaker 2: And I was like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: Because every now and then Froumi does bits and sometimes
Speaker 4: she's really good at committing to the bit where you're like,
Speaker 4: surely are we joking and then she's like ha, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, we're joking. So what I feel in
Speaker 4: my herd of hearts is that people do not know
Speaker 4: how to use I Message properly because there.
Speaker 2: Are so many little tipbits in there.
Speaker 4: There really is, and I think it's because there is
Speaker 4: a huge group of people who never graduated from Messenger.
Speaker 2: I don't touch Messenger.
Speaker 4: I've not been on a Messenger since twenty fourteen, and
Speaker 4: I can tell you're a Messenger person. Yeah, say no
Speaker 4: more because I've seen you use it, Okay, But I'm
Speaker 4: like a WhatsApp dm I message person. If you've messaged
Speaker 4: me on Facebook in the last nine years, I've definitely
Speaker 4: not seen it.
Speaker 3: Don't you love how there's certain friends that are just
Speaker 3: that one thing and you have to other cater to them.
Speaker 4: Or Yeah, it's huge. So vanish mode and this is
Speaker 4: for all my iPhone users. If you use an Android,
Speaker 4: that's okay, you know what I mean. I think it's
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three where past judging you for that. I
Speaker 4: just know this conversation is not for you. So what
Speaker 4: I'm going to do is I'm going to go into
Speaker 4: a message with Lucinda Froom's price.
Speaker 2: Am I in as your phone?
Speaker 4: Huh?
Speaker 2: What am I?
Speaker 4: What? Am I as in your phone? Lusender press? I
Speaker 4: just stop doing the nickname stuff. It's not helpful.
Speaker 2: That would have been from years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I only call you frooms. People call you listener
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know who people call you Lucinder
Speaker 4: in my presence.
Speaker 2: Trust people who don't like me.
Speaker 4: So no, your friend Bella called you listen to and
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, that's that's a lot anyway. So
Speaker 4: vanish mode is how you send invisible text in I message.
Speaker 4: Not to be confused with a text that disappears, but
Speaker 4: it's text that shows up jumbled until you click to
Speaker 4: unlock what it says. It's good for, you know, discreetness,
Speaker 4: it's good for a bit of fun, and it's also
Speaker 4: good to spice up the flavor in your text messages.
Speaker 2: Ah, it has come to me.
Speaker 4: We were talking about texting people you're tuning when we
Speaker 4: were talking about whether or not Instagram is new dating app,
Speaker 4: and one of the things that adds.
Speaker 2: Flavor to messages. I said was voice notes.
Speaker 4: But the trigger thing about voice notes is you've got
Speaker 4: to be very sure about what you're saying. You know,
Speaker 4: you can't be annoying people with thirty second voice memos.
Speaker 4: You're gotta be confident they're gonna send you I'm back.
Speaker 4: It can be a bit complicated. So what I do
Speaker 4: in Flexus school of tuning is I send messages with flavor.
Speaker 4: I do the full screen effects, the text effects, vanish mode.
Speaker 2: It adds you know.
Speaker 4: So here, all right, I'm gonna send through me a
Speaker 4: series of texts using all of our messages features, and
Speaker 4: after everyone, you're gonna tell me how likely you are
Speaker 4: to fall in love with me if I was someone trying.
Speaker 2: To pursue you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here we go. Okay, I'm just gonna say hi
Speaker 4: every time. Okay, So the first one obviously going to
Speaker 4: send it with invisible ink. That's the correct term. That's
Speaker 4: gonna arrive with Frumini. It's been delivered quietly message him
Speaker 4: with invisible ink.
Speaker 2: Yes. Oh it's a little sparkly thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, and so like once you press it, the sparkles
Speaker 4: turn into the text you're gonna send and it says Hi. Yes, Now,
Speaker 4: if we were tuning, would you be excited by that message?
Speaker 4: Not not not the what I said, but the way
Speaker 4: it arrived?
Speaker 2: Yes, for surered percent. Okay, cool.
Speaker 4: Here's another one. I'm just sending high again. This one
Speaker 4: is one of my favorites. I do this quite a bit.
Speaker 2: It turns into a whole high.
Speaker 4: You show the camera, babe, don't be don't be staying,
Speaker 4: because then you're going to say, all right, I'll send
Speaker 4: it again, scream oh I missed it, do it again. Wait,
