Speaker 1: The flex and Rooms Daily podcast.
Speaker 2: Okay, some of them. I was listening to the podcast
Speaker 2: the other day and I realized when I laughed about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not it's an innay I told you before.
Speaker 3: It's a may what is it? It's it's not a name,
Speaker 3: but you know horses do it. It's like a yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Need to abolish it. Like sometimes I listen, I think,
Speaker 2: what would this sound like if you hated us? Like,
Speaker 2: what is it that you chick up on and think?
Speaker 2: Fuck them? I reckon it's the nay.
Speaker 3: That is a very wild exercise to be doing. Generally,
Speaker 3: it's probably not good for your mental health.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think I think it's part of
Speaker 2: bettering yourself. Yeah, of course. But alas today we are
Speaker 2: talking about gossiping and a special thing Flexi says is
Speaker 2: the gossip hierarchy.
Speaker 3: Well, I got it from this guy on Instagram, I
Speaker 3: mean on TikTok called brand.
Speaker 2: FLEs brand Flekes with two z's. That's all I want
Speaker 2: to do for the explanation, because I really really need
Speaker 2: to go and get up right now. Wait them more.
Speaker 3: Toilet.
Speaker 2: That's not me trying to be cute. Literally, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: fucking burst I got a girl guy right out of.
Speaker 1: Here, I got a girl fleck and frooms.
Speaker 2: See, you just only be talking about gossiping. You can
Speaker 2: listen to the full segment on our podcast Can you
Speaker 2: get your podcasts? But I don't know if you remember,
Speaker 2: but back in the day, Facebook was the ideal place
Speaker 2: to collect gossip, be it in podcast groups or other
Speaker 2: kind of niche groups. They gave you the illusion of privacy, mutuality,
Speaker 2: screenshots exist, and we were sharing outside the group.
Speaker 3: That was a big one.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: There was a time I'm gonna say it was like
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen where you had to be part of like
Speaker 3: a local feminist Facebook group, a local girl podcaster group,
Speaker 3: and like in that group it felt sacred. But be real,
Speaker 3: there were seventy thousand people in there, your personal story.
Speaker 3: I could click on your profile, see our mutual green
Speaker 3: shot that information, take it out. It wasn't safe, but
Speaker 3: it felt like and that's what matters.
Speaker 2: I was in that phase I reckon twenty fifteen, and
Speaker 2: I was spilling a lot.
Speaker 3: You were you were, you were sharing your own business.
Speaker 2: Yes, whoa in the group? In the feminist group? You know,
Speaker 2: we're all called by vibes. And then of course it
Speaker 2: evolved into a madman a fistfight fest. But Alas, this
Speaker 2: one is I've brought a love line in so I'm
Speaker 2: going to give you like a submission that was put
Speaker 2: on a Facebook. It is part of unimil love Letters.
Speaker 2: Now this was really are you in there? I'm infiltrated,
Speaker 2: got centered?
Speaker 3: Okay, so someone's broken the rules taking a screenshot. Okay,
Speaker 3: and well mind implicated you.
Speaker 2: This is public. But the UNIMEL love Letters was a
Speaker 2: thing where people would be on UNI Melbourne campus and
Speaker 2: see someone cute, so they text in. So this woman
Speaker 2: da da da, like, can we go on a date?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if the stories were planted or if never,
Speaker 2: what's a success rate for that? But Alas, here is
Speaker 2: a mission. It's number four, four, five six one. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh. There's a lot of submissions. You can't catch
Speaker 2: a break with rooms and this is a love letter
Speaker 2: dear soon to be ex boyfriend. Oh I like that
Speaker 2: and as brackets soon to be We met a few
Speaker 2: years back when we were both in undergrad. I was
Speaker 2: new to the country and you were my first friend
Speaker 2: and we quickly fell in love. For years, you were
Speaker 2: all I had in Australia. You were my everything. Fast
Speaker 2: forward four years. We graduated together, moved in together, and
Speaker 2: tried to build our life together. We got jobs, very
Speaker 2: different jobs, and we met new people and made new friends.
Speaker 2: What I haven't told you, and haven't had the courage
Speaker 2: to tell you, is that I met someone at work.
Speaker 2: He treats me very well, he makes me happy, and
Speaker 2: he supports me financially.
Speaker 3: Okay, there we go here. I wasn't we there for
Speaker 3: a second, but he said the magic words.
Speaker 2: I'm on board, dear soon to be ex boyfriend. I
Speaker 2: found a rich man.
Speaker 3: Yeah that period, do us for a loop.
Speaker 2: I'm in love with him. I'm sorry that this didn't
Speaker 2: work out. For a while. You were all I knew. Now,
Speaker 2: I know there is more to find out out there, brutal.
Speaker 2: By the time this gets posted, I would have already
Speaker 2: packed up my things and moved out of your house
Speaker 2: while you're at work. I'm sorry I couldn't break up
Speaker 2: with you in person. I'm a coward. Consider this love
Speaker 2: letting me breaking up with you. I have blocked you
Speaker 2: off every social media platform and I've changed my number.
Speaker 2: Please don't try to find me. This person is sick.
Speaker 2: Your now ex girlfriend.
Speaker 3: There is no way that is just creative writing some
Speaker 3: literary major I don't know what they call them in
Speaker 3: the straightlier, but that is not that person's not well.
Speaker 2: Well, someone agreed with that's actually in the comments, the
Speaker 2: substance he supports me financially. But everyone in the comments
Speaker 2: is taking it very seriously, like it's a real thing.
Speaker 2: One person wrote how to permanently destroy someone, how to
Speaker 2: make someone have trust issues, how to make an f boy,
Speaker 2: how to ruin your own life because you realize what
Speaker 2: you did will return back to you. How to live
Speaker 2: with the fear of what if my part that does
Speaker 2: the same thing to me? Good luck original poster. Your
Speaker 2: partner deserves at least one text.
Speaker 3: By the time he figures out this is for him,
Speaker 3: like he's going to be in such a wayward state
Speaker 3: for an unnecessarily long amount of time before.
Speaker 2: He's like, wait a second, that's for me.
Speaker 3: It's brutal stuff. I totally understand. No, I don't understand,
Speaker 3: but I can empathize with someone who feels as though
Speaker 3: they've blown up their life so much that their only
Speaker 3: option is to do something so just catastrophic tru really
Speaker 3: nail it home. But I feel like there were so
Speaker 3: many easier ways to do this MESSI like this just
Speaker 3: feels number one so selfish, but number two so chaotic
Speaker 3: and thoughtless and just mean. And you know what's so
Speaker 3: wild though, it's this like really selfish behavior, master is
Speaker 3: selfless behavior, Like this is the best way I could
Speaker 3: give this this information to you because I love you
Speaker 3: so much. Just like or write him a letter. You've
Speaker 3: just publicly shamed him for for what you know where
Speaker 3: he lives. Pop a letter in and just bounce a
Speaker 3: big fan of a letter. Have you ever done a
Speaker 3: letter I've done. I've drafted a letter in the notes.
Speaker 3: We've all done a few notes letters, sent it through,
Speaker 3: but I haven't done a physical letter in my time
Speaker 3: for you. Yeah, that would be a really good pen
Speaker 3: to paper or something like it.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. You do it in your notes and then
Speaker 2: you start. It's just a lovely exercise to like do
Speaker 2: your beautiful writing. It feels very cathartic. Pop in the mail,
Speaker 2: wait for them to send you one back soon as
Speaker 2: I'll send you a physical one. Other times they'll reply
Speaker 2: via text message. But it's cathartic. I do like that.
Speaker 2: But our producer Brook, who's just standing sitting by us,
Speaker 2: says she has sent something into one of those anonymous
Speaker 2: Facebook groups, and I was, so I need to hear
Speaker 2: this story, so I'm gonna hand over the mic please.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I used to submit to my UNI ones. It
Speaker 4: wasn't just like love based ones. It was also just
Speaker 4: like general confessions, and they were probably the most disturbing
Speaker 4: thing I've ever come up with.
Speaker 2: Slash written and read ohs not real.
Speaker 3: Oh of course they're made up.
Speaker 4: It was just literally by creatively disgusting, is how I
Speaker 4: describe it.
Speaker 2: What did you get out of doing that?
Speaker 4: It was just so funny because people would then reply
Speaker 4: to it thinking it was real, and it's like, you've
Speaker 4: got to be joking seriously, And that was kind of
Speaker 4: my idea of fun.
Speaker 3: See, I think I'm the naive person because if I
Speaker 3: go on to like a Reddit forum, if I see
Speaker 3: a post on Facebook, I'm just assuming it's true. I'm like,
Speaker 3: why would someone lie? Who has enough time in the
Speaker 3: day to lie?
Speaker 4: Well, there were so many details with it as well
Speaker 4: that it's like, who would be bothered to make this up?
Speaker 2: So I think they thought it was real. You've lost it, babe,
Speaker 2: that's Brooky, our producer, always surprising us.
Speaker 3: Literally, Brookies lived a thousand lives. One thing about me,
Speaker 3: I'm stale in comparison. I'm just like, why would somebody lie?
Speaker 3: This is like the most earnest and honest thing, but
Speaker 3: this is like categorically insane.
Speaker 2: There you have it. I really did enjoy that.
Speaker 5: Look.
Speaker 3: I will say it's moments I this is what I
Speaker 3: wish that I was more committed to making my life
Speaker 3: feel like a movie or a sitcom or something. Because
Speaker 3: this is adding spice. This is gonna be a fantastic
Speaker 3: story to tell someone in future, like what's the worst
Speaker 3: way you've broken up with someone? There we go, there's
Speaker 3: gonna be a six part mini series on Stan.
Speaker 1: Of course, Flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: Right now for me has tuna in her hand, but
Speaker 3: it's boxed.
Speaker 2: We've got a box of tuna. I'm gonna do my best,
Speaker 2: since we are on radio, to explain what this looks like.
Speaker 2: It's a white box about the size of my palm,
Speaker 2: and it says future tuna. It's very kind of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty two brand.
Speaker 3: It is so cool. It's giving a five notebook helvetica.
Speaker 3: It's impact on actually, but if you're not familiar with typography,
Speaker 3: let's just say hell medica bold.
Speaker 2: It's quite beautiful and it's from a brand called Future Farm.
Speaker 2: It's a revolutionary plant based tuna for all tuna lovers,
Speaker 2: and instead of the you and tuna, it's a v
Speaker 2: very tough.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: So I've got Chabra packets. I'm gonna give you this.
Speaker 3: Should we just open the one packet though, because I
Speaker 3: feel like, let's not waste it. I have actually had
Speaker 3: a plant based tuna before, because I do dabble in
Speaker 3: plant based foods every now and then, because I know
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a time where I prioritize my health overconvenience,
Speaker 3: and the first way to do that is go plant based.
Speaker 3: But I don't want eat vegetables. So I remember on
Speaker 3: a shoot they had gave us plant based tuna wraps.
Speaker 3: It tasted just like tuna.
Speaker 2: Taste a good Yeah. I've done to taste this years ago,
Speaker 2: of this plant based tuna vegan tuna. It was the
Speaker 2: worst thing I've ever had in my whole life. Really,
Speaker 2: It's like wet cat food mixed with carpet. So let's
Speaker 2: see how this one goes.
Speaker 3: I guess open it up. Oh, it is in this
Speaker 3: silver foil aluminium space food vacuum sealed bag and it
Speaker 3: looks like we can't see through it. But based on
Speaker 3: the way Thrumi's playing with it.
Speaker 2: It's slop, it's squishy. Oh my god, I'm scared tune
Speaker 2: out of a bag. Well, this smells like tuna. Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't want to get this on my tracks.
Speaker 3: Before we try, we have to address the fact that
Speaker 3: if this was real tuna, we would never eat it
Speaker 3: out of a packet like this. It would never happen.
Speaker 3: Why are we making accommodations for fake tuna? I can
Speaker 3: smell that from here. It's wafting.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well it's not real fish, so we can chill
Speaker 2: out the ingredients of water plant based protein which is
Speaker 2: soy pea, chick pea, olive oil, natural flowering, and to
Speaker 2: micro algae that is strong. Okay. So I'm actually not
Speaker 2: mad about it. I think if you put it into
Speaker 2: a pastuck, it tastes really good. It's just the packet
Speaker 2: is putting me off.
Speaker 3: What I will say is that there's like this film
Speaker 3: around it, like this thick film that is so miscellaneous.
Speaker 3: If you don't look at it, it tastes a lot
Speaker 3: like tuna. You know, I picky eat it right. So
Speaker 3: a lot of what puts me off about food is
Speaker 3: the way it looks. So sometimes I eat my food
Speaker 3: in low lighting so I don't have to look at it,
Speaker 3: and I just like gobble it down. This is one
Speaker 3: of those situations. It does taste like tuna, but at
Speaker 3: what cost?
Speaker 2: You know what. The more I think about it, I'm
Speaker 2: out of my tuna era. I used to eat tuna
Speaker 2: every day for lunch for two.
Speaker 3: You're the reason why I started eating tuna.
Speaker 2: Do you like it too?
Speaker 3: It's a two parter for me. Would not stop posting
Speaker 3: about tuna, sirena' is that how you pronounce it? Serena?
Speaker 3: Not sure, but she wouldn't stop posting about it. And
Speaker 3: then my best friend at the time would make this
Speaker 3: snack dish roast pumpkin and tuna, And so I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have tried tuna generally if I hadn't seen you obsessed
Speaker 3: with it. Tried it. It was amazing, But then I
Speaker 3: figured I'm actually a John West girl.
Speaker 2: Nah. That's where I got it. In the segment, and
Speaker 2: we're done. Thank you so much. Shout out to Future Future,
Speaker 2: Future Future FUM. The fact that it's vegan, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: If we put this into a rap, I think it
Speaker 2: would be delicious. Oh it taste It's just like tuna.
Speaker 2: So if you're a vegan, you want tuna, I recommend
Speaker 2: I would say yes.
Speaker 3: I would say it's maybe more flavorful than tuna, because
Speaker 3: why was that micro piece still lingering in my mouth
Speaker 3: like it's catching meat exactly?
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: It is not often I see something on the Internet
Speaker 3: that makes me question how I see the world. I
Speaker 3: think it makes me think briefly, and then I scroll
Speaker 3: past and I'm back to my own biases about the
Speaker 3: way things should be. But this person made a video
Speaker 3: about gossiping, not that we should or shouldn't do it,
Speaker 3: but in particular if we're going to the rules and
Speaker 3: guidelines for how.
Speaker 2: We should approach it.
Speaker 3: This TikToker brand Underscore Flakes with two z's describes the
Speaker 3: gossiping hierarchy.
Speaker 5: Like this, I love to gossip, but in order to
Speaker 5: really enjoy gossiping, you need to trust the people that
Speaker 5: you are gossiping with. Don't that any present you the
Speaker 5: gossip hierarchy of trust that I've created. On the bottom
Speaker 5: of our hierarchy of trust, it's anyone in the world
Speaker 5: that you may now, Celebrities, people you follow, people on
Speaker 5: the street, just anyone that you see that exists in
Speaker 5: your mind that you could potentially gossip about or gossip to.
Speaker 5: They're on the bottom of the totem pole. We trust them.
Speaker 5: The least above them is acquaintances. People that you're friendly with,
Speaker 5: you may not necessarily love, or you might not be
Speaker 5: their best friend, and you might feel comfortable gossiping to
Speaker 5: them about a few things. But if I were you,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't gossip with them about much because you don't
Speaker 5: know how much you can trust those people. I love
Speaker 5: them is obviously your best friends. These are some of
Speaker 5: the best people to goasip with because not only do
Speaker 5: you likely trust them and they likely trust you, you
Speaker 5: probably also have a ton of mutual people that you
Speaker 5: can gasp about. Top of the hierarchy. You know, we've
Speaker 5: got our moms and our significant others. There is nothing
Speaker 5: like gossiping on the phone to your mom about everybody.
Speaker 5: And that is why this hierarchy is set up like this,
Speaker 5: because while there are some exceptions. The one basic rule
Speaker 5: is you should never gossip about someone higher up in
Speaker 5: the hierarchy to someone lower up in the hierarchy.
Speaker 3: The thoughts are in my head and they're running around.
Speaker 3: They've got little legs, no arms, one head each, and
Speaker 3: I cannot control them. I think gossiping is very important
Speaker 3: because I think that it encourages people to be better communicators.
Speaker 3: Because the one thing about gossip, in order for it
Speaker 3: to be effective, it has to be understood as intended.
Speaker 3: If I'm coming to you to gossip and you're not
Speaker 3: hearing me as I intend, then it's pointless for me.
Speaker 3: It's not fun for you. So I think that, like
Speaker 3: there's two types of gossip in particular, maybe even more.
Speaker 3: There's sacred gossip, such as such as you know your
Speaker 3: best friend has cheated on their partner, but you don't
Speaker 3: even think it's a bad idea, But like you're best
Speaker 3: friends with a partner as well, Like that's sacred stuff
Speaker 3: that's not everyday chat conversation at the coffee shop that requires,
Speaker 3: you know, an air of caution. But then there's community gossip.
Speaker 3: It's for everyone. It's enjoyment for the community. It's like
Speaker 3: for me to enjoy, for you to enjoy. It's small talk,
Speaker 3: it's water cooler chat, it's contextual. And sometimes every now
Speaker 3: and then sacred gossip gets into community gossip. But then
Speaker 3: you just take out a few key names and details
Speaker 3: and then it's a free for all.
Speaker 2: Right, like domokes oh dumin, dumoi dumi. They're like kind
Speaker 2: of like blind items.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like blind items where it's like people need
Speaker 3: to see this information and you've done your due diligence
Speaker 3: by taking out anything so incriminating that it's clear who
Speaker 3: it's about. In this instance, though, I like the hierarchy,
Speaker 3: I just don't know if I use it.
Speaker 2: I have dabbled in using the hierarchy and otherwise using it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I gotta shut my mouth sometimes.
Speaker 3: Now it's not the time.
Speaker 2: Now it's not the time. No, I would say, would
Speaker 2: you say you and I gossip? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Constantly. I feel like I know you had one conversation
Speaker 3: that isn't gossip.
Speaker 2: We actually haven't. And because it's nice, because we're in
Speaker 2: the same industry, I think we come to the table
Speaker 2: with different types of gossip from different people. But I'd
Speaker 2: say I share pretty much everything with you that's your
Speaker 2: industry gossip.
Speaker 3: The thing about the gossiping that I do with you,
Speaker 3: in particular is it's multi prompt. One thing that I
Speaker 3: need from people that I spend a lot of time
Speaker 3: with is trust, And I think the way that you
Speaker 3: build trust is you create situations where the stakes are
Speaker 3: a little bit higher than usual because you're bearing something,
Speaker 3: your own vulnerabilities, your own secrets, your own context, or
Speaker 3: just letting someone have a pick behind the curtains, like
Speaker 3: this is what happens behind the facade or behind the performance.
Speaker 3: You get to see what's happening behind there for context,
Speaker 3: not because it's the new norm, not because everyone gets
Speaker 3: to see so you see the full picture. I think
Speaker 3: it's amazing. I will say, though I used to feel
Speaker 3: like gossiping was fun with everyone, You just can't gossip
Speaker 3: with everyone because some people want to bring in morality
Speaker 3: into it. Oh but there are a nice person, maybe
Speaker 3: the situation shut it.
Speaker 2: Not interested you have to be down to clown. Yeah,
Speaker 2: some people aren't. Though it would be a mix of
Speaker 2: feeling like a bad person but also feeling that the
Speaker 2: person is a bit of a loser when they don't
Speaker 2: want to gossip. Literally, like if you're four it's like
Speaker 2: people that don't eat McDonald's.
Speaker 3: Okay, people who don't drink soft drink. Oh, shut get off,
Speaker 3: there go Wait idiot, the world is a scary enough
Speaker 3: place you don't want to enjoy. You don't want to
Speaker 3: come down to our level. We subterranean. It's us and
Speaker 3: Satan's people.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, like I'll gossip with someone about someone else and
Speaker 2: then they know more gossip than me. But I've acted
Speaker 2: like I got the inside scoop. Ooh, that's always a
Speaker 2: bit embarrassing. Yeah, that's like meta, I'm so sorry that
Speaker 2: happened to you. But yeah, I gossip about everyone. I
Speaker 2: gossip about you. You have to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's necessary. But I will say, like I said before,
Speaker 3: I think that gossiping we should do more of it
Speaker 3: with less people.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm. So yeah, it's information sharing, yes, but it's.
Speaker 3: About figuring out, like what are your own personal milestones
Speaker 3: or metrics or segments for how much gossip you're willing
Speaker 3: to share, because I think everyone deserves to feel as
Speaker 3: though there's someone worthy of gossiping too. But you have
Speaker 3: to know how far are you willing to go with
Speaker 3: this person? You're gonna be in the trenches with them.
Speaker 3: When this comes out, you know, is that you're right
Speaker 3: or die? I don't think so keep it light. We
Speaker 3: need the small talk version of gossip and the deep
Speaker 3: conversation version of gossip, because.
Speaker 2: It'd be very attempting to just spill your guts when
Speaker 2: you're in a particular mood. I'm running around Catera saying, Oh,
Speaker 2: this happened, that happened. Did you hear about this person's paycheck?
Speaker 2: Do you hear this person hates this person?
Speaker 3: It's coming out of my ears. Really, you just got
Speaker 3: to work on your media training carrying styles at venice this.
Speaker 3: I love. What do you love about the movie?
Speaker 2: Harry?
Speaker 3: I love that this movie feels like a movie king
Speaker 3: behavior because that's what I need to start doing.
Speaker 2: He's like the Marilyn Monroe of.
Speaker 3: Literally, what did you think about the event?
Speaker 2: It was interesting?
Speaker 3: What were you expecting from this event for it to
Speaker 3: be interesting?
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: I feel like the FBI agent in my phone is
Speaker 3: really really good at correcting my algorithm to ensure that
Speaker 3: everything I'm interested in is what comes up on my feed.
Speaker 3: Every time I think about my relationship to ambition and
Speaker 3: doing stuff, I want to overcorrect and do nothing, which
Speaker 3: is just not sustainable for my lifestyle.
Speaker 2: Right, So when you want all or nothing.
Speaker 3: Pretty much, you know, like when I'm working really hard,
Speaker 3: I pretend that my fantasy is to be on like
Speaker 3: a farm commune. No, babe, you've never wanted that in
Speaker 3: your life. You're a layer. But I saw this Instagram
Speaker 3: post from ABC News headline dream job already had me right.
Speaker 3: Meet the Tokyo man who gets paid to do nothing.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, is it clickbait? Is it clickbait?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 3: Basically, there's this thirty eight year old guy who charges
Speaker 3: approximately one hundred dollars per booking to a company client
Speaker 3: and simply exist as a companion. So wherever you're going,
Speaker 3: I'll come. That's it. No expectation to do stuff with you,
Speaker 3: just be where you're going. He said that he got
Speaker 3: paid to go to a park with a person who
Speaker 3: wanted to play on a seesaw or two person job,
Speaker 3: two person job. He also got paid just to accompany
Speaker 3: someone for lunch. So not only are you getting paid
Speaker 3: to be there, but whatever you end up doing is
Speaker 3: on someone else's dime. A professional friend, one might say,
Speaker 3: but not even a professional acquaintance. Yeah, professional presence, a
Speaker 3: professional presence.
Speaker 2: I totally get that. I think that's why podcasts are
Speaker 2: so popular, because you just want someone with you. I
Speaker 2: totally get that. You just want something in your eggs.
Speaker 2: You don't want to think. You just want someone with you,
Speaker 2: don't want to be alone. I also think, have you
Speaker 2: noticed that thing where if someone's really staring at you
Speaker 2: and giving a lot of attention, it's relaxing. Do you
Speaker 2: ever get that?
Speaker 3: You don't get that.
Speaker 2: You don't get that when someone's drawing in your hand
Speaker 2: and oh, your back or something. It's nice because it
Speaker 2: feels it's also nice because the attention is on you
Speaker 2: in some cosmic way. Yes, I do like that.
Speaker 3: I think I like the passive attention better, Like, like
Speaker 3: you're saying, being in the same room as someone knowing
Speaker 3: that we could have a discussion if we wanted to,
Speaker 3: but having no pressure to do anything. That's quite nice.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. If you've ever fantasized about living
Speaker 3: a life that's different to yours currently, it can be done.
Speaker 3: What's that quote, if you can dream it, you can
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joey's out on that one. I've got many dreams.
Speaker 3: Don't rule it out. Let this Tokyo man be your
Speaker 3: guiding star. He can get paid one hundred bucks to
Speaker 3: do nothing. You can too.
Speaker 2: I mean I think we do in some respects. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: get out. That's for another segment.
Speaker 1: You're listening to flex and Frooms on Kita.
Speaker 2: The other day we were talking about feng shui and
Speaker 2: was it about the studio and about how we've got
Speaker 2: a poltigeist and maybe if we got better feng shuei
Speaker 2: the poltogist would be gone.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how we get to any of our tangents,
Speaker 3: to be honest, but I do know a few hot
Speaker 3: tips to anyone who wants to, I guess make their
Speaker 3: room more energetically efficient. Number one, never have your back
Speaker 3: facing the door. Sorry to produce a brook. It's bad, bad,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what for, but don't do it. You
Speaker 3: should be in a commanding position. That means that from
Speaker 3: your vantage point, you should be able to see the
Speaker 3: full room, or you know, the most dominant part of
Speaker 3: the room.
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of like I'd go out for a
Speaker 2: yung cha with my family every Sunday and Dad would
Speaker 2: only be comfortable if he was sitting in the very
Speaker 2: corner looking at the whole restaurant. It's like a gangster thing,
Speaker 2: like you need to have your guns so you can
Speaker 2: kill anyone who comes in par and really I just
Speaker 2: want to have that.
Speaker 3: And there's one more thing as well. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you are you are moving soon. It's a bit
Speaker 3: of tips about your bedroom. Natural materials are gonna be
Speaker 3: best for grounding. I'm talking woods, you know, I'm saying marbles.
Speaker 3: I know how the coins are stacked up. But also,
Speaker 3: if you're the kind of person who likes having art
Speaker 3: in your bedroom, be careful about what kind of art
Speaker 3: you put above your head, because apparently you're gonna energetically
Speaker 3: absorb that. So nothing too dark, nothing too hectic, nothing
Speaker 3: too like anti vibe. It's important.
Speaker 2: Whoa okay, because I'm in that mirrored situation where opposite
Speaker 2: my bed of this whole like floor length mirror.
Speaker 3: Oh that's not good at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all. And I'm seeing myself. I've got two
Speaker 2: eggs above my bed, which is quite cute. This is
Speaker 2: inviting spirits into her sanctuary? Is it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: Open portals, Fanks, just FYI, because I want to go
Speaker 2: into it. I want to actually get an expert in
Speaker 2: but the words mean in Chinese wind water. Feng is
Speaker 2: wind and shui means water. And it's just about the
Speaker 2: energy up and down. And da da da, thank you.
Speaker 3: It's about the energy up and down.
Speaker 2: Da da da.
