WEBVTT - It's Time To Let Your Friends Date Losers 🤢 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.440 Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:05.960 and Frooms catch up podcast. 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:12.280 Happy Monday, Precious little Goremulins, miss you dearly. 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:12.840 Today. 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.800 We're chatting about our cult and our slogan. Plus people 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:18.439 are mad at Drake, which is kind of unsurprising, but 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.360 when you really think about it, completely surprising. I feel 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.480 like some celebrities are just scapegoats for slow news days 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.960 and some just like randomly are all we can talk 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:35.400 about facts. Let's get to it, Flex and Frooms on kedus. 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.199 We must discuss life after the Matilda's I made a 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.519 confession that when Fred again was pumping and there was 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.680 all this hype, and I personally felt as though people 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.720 were pretending to understand the hype for fee of looking 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.280 like a loser who doesn't know what's happening in current events. 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:56.880 And then I too experienced jumping onto the hype train 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.959 because I was infected with social contagion. And now eight 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.399 days later, I'm still interested in sports broadly, and I've 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.399 brought in my horizon, said AFLW. Yes, I've been reading 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.800 about the NBA and I'm wearing a jacket that has 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.360 golf emblems on them. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.920 Is this golf emblems, it's at the back. Okay that 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:17.679 you made yourself. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.680 I did make it myself direct correct correct. 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.240 Check Flex and frooms. There's videos of us from today, yes, 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.440 and Flex he's wearing the jacket correct now. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.200 So doing my research for the AFL and the AFLW. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.080 This initially started because when I moved to Melbourne, I 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.800 was very surprised to find out that liking sports in 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:40.039 particular AFL is a statewide thing. It's not for sports fans, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.199 it's cultural and I hadn't seen anything like it before. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.600 A lot of the introductory conversations I was having, as 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.200 have you picked a team? 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.920 Heavy picked a team, and so I hadn't picked a team, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.120 and I didn't realize we're so convoluted picking a team 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.000 for reasons we can't get into right now. But so 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.920 since then I followed the AFL and the AFLW on 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.880 Instagram and they made a post a couple of days 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.520 ago that says equal player prize money for AFL and 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.440 AFLW competitions, which I thought was sick. I said, okay, 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:13.120 post Matilda's there's a vibe, there's momentum now that can 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.440 come across really misleading because there are four final AFL 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.600 teams and eight final AFLW teams, so it's equal prize 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.560 money split between players, so they don't get paid the same. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.800 I see, but you know, this is why we have 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.800 to read more than the headlines. Alas, I went into 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.320 the comments and people were not happy, which I thought 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.200 was really interesting because on face value, this feels like 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.799 good information to happen, and you could imagine what the 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.320 comments were saying, like why are women getting this money? 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.800 It's undeserving, la la la, And I couldn't tell if 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.320 it was like low level misogyny off those merit in 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.079 the critique. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.080 And so based on reading. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.320 Some of these comments, I feel like what people are 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:57.320 saying is the AFLW has been around for it's in 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.600 its eighth year, and the AFL's this heritage, legacy corporation 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.400 league that's been around for like one hundred and fifty years. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.360 I never cared, just split the record and say, okay, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.320 never had a team, just going to reiterate that, wow, 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.600 not a sport family. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:11.680 Not a sport family. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.920 W I willing to usher it into the next yet 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:15.959 give it a second. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.760 So they're saying that, you know, just comparatively the clubs 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.480 haven't been around for the same amount of time, which 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.000 means that the players who have in the AFL have 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.160 had to pave the way and kind of work towards 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:31.080 this prize are more entitled to more money than the 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.040 afl W who are a newer team. And I said, Okay, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.640 I don't know if really enough that makes sense. It 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.760 just sounds like these guys got a one hundred and 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.680 fifty year head start. That's what I'm getting. Then people 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.520 start going into quantifiable numbers. The attendees of the games 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.320 roughly seven million AFL attendees and roughly four hundred and 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.880 ten thousand afl W attendees. So the conversation now is 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.840 if they're not bringing the same amount of people and 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.040 they're not generating the same amount of ticket sales, should 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.640 they be entitled to the same amount of prize money. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:00.680 Yes, relatively. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.320 Then the next critique was, okay, well, when you watch 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.520 the AFL, because it's been years and years and years 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.320 of people building of these men, in particular building these skills, 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.920 and the AFL has been quite instrumental in creating like 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.760 an exceptional kind of player. These people are like freaks 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.120 of nature with what they're able to do, and they're 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.040 comparing that to the AFLW where women haven't historically been 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.760 allowed to play the game at the same level. There's 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.159 not been support or infrastructure, and a lot of the 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:33.000 current players are not homegrown AFL players. They approach like 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:37.000 cricket players and boxers and netball players and basketball players, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.760 and so they're not playing to the same level of 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.880 excellence as AFL players. 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.360 Should they be rewarded the same. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.800 I so this is layer This is a layered conversation, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.359 and so it's not to say that, you know, the 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.839 headline is misleading or whatever, but I think the conversation 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.120 that's started. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.360 Is so juicy. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.720 At the time of the post being up. Now it's 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.960 got like two thousand comments. People have stuff to say, 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.960 but I don't know what difference it's going to make 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.520 because I think that people can't really discern if the. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:05.400 Critique has merit. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:07.400 It's too layered. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:08.480 It's so layered. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:09.800 Also, chicken and egg. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.920 The bloody money up place chicken and egg. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.720 Then you'll bring more women's to be like, I want 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.880 to get a little more cash. They're going to yeet 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.560 away from the other sports. To me, enjoying sport is 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.760 like learning to read like learning to enjoy fiction. It's 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.800 like I don't look at it and then instantly get 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.760 into it. I'm like, whoa, I'm missing this whole, like 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.520 little tiny not even this whole branch on this tree 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:33.200 of enjoyment. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.039 I'm ready for my culture understanding to improve. I'm learning 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.440 so much about people from being interested in sport. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.679 So if you are a frequent listener to the show, 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.520 you will know that we do have megalo maniac tendencies. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.200 And as I believe, I've. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.280 Seen Google that before, I before I co sign Megaloma 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:52.040 that I'm right there with you. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:52.840 But I just want to make sure. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.920 Can I try and explain see if I'm close egotistical, 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.560 grandiose ideas for centering yourself. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:04.599 A Meglo Mayac is a pathological egotist, and we said, 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.680 you know what that is someone with a psychological disorder 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.839 with symptoms like delusions of grandeur and an obsession with power. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.440 I don't know if I'm with you, know I want. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.800 The audience outside delusional fantasies of wealth, power, omnipotent Mine's 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.880 not delusional though exactly. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.120 Anyway, we want to create a cult. Now I know 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.280 what you're thinking, cults are super scary and people need 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.040 to get out of them. But no, you can willingly. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.280 Enter a cult if you need to. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.080 Cultivate a sense of community, and we're here to fill 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.159 that gap. Flex is leader of the cult. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.400 I come to that decision. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.080 We came to that decision because it was like quite 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.160 late in the afternoon and I had completely switched off. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.480 I was looking at my messages and I was looking 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:43.520 at my own Instagram story. 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:43.960 It's flexing. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.880 Okay, So we all know that what makes a cult stick, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.400 or makes anything sticker, is great marketing and great branding. 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:50.720 We need a name and a slogan. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.640 I would like to give you some keywords and some 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.520 ideas on how I'd like this to come across. Nothing 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.799 about this cult needs to feel gimmicky. It can't be gimmicky. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.000 We're not leaning into like the spirituality of it. We're 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.359 trying to exploit life to get the best of it 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:16.040 for us. We also are about all things hot, sexy, fun, educational, entertaining, lighthearted. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.960 I think one thing that's going to really become an 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:24.240 archetypal cornerstone of our cult is the concept of Jester's privilege. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.880 Are you aware of what Jessic's privilege is through me 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.760 is yep. Let me read it out for you based 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:37.560 on how Wikipedia would define it. Jesic's privilege is the 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.520 ability and right of a jester to talk and mock 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.600 freely without being punished for nothing, he says, seems to matter. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.240 That is the energy we bring into our utopia. In 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.920 this studio, we say stuff we enjoy, We give each 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.720 other the better, we give each other the benefit of 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:54.080 the doubt. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.520 We keep it pushing, truly, that is the energy of 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.920 the cult. Don't bring it down. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.880 I think we should save that name for maybe something else. However, 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.200 I have no, that's not the name. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:03.960 It will be the name. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.040 That's just the ethos that I want people to come 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.800 to the cult with. Okay, it's very I don't want 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.400 it to come across as gimme key, it's very. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.160 Earnest, amazing. Okay. So with that in mind, I have 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.360 come up with a suggestion. It's still staying with that 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:22.760 regal vibe when we call the munch Kings, but with 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:23.480 kings on the end. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.280 Why kings, you'll see, okay, because we are. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.480 Mickey looks confused, given that you and producing Mickey share 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:34.079 one brain. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.400 If you two are not on the same page. I 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:37.439 don't think it's gonna work out. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.280 No, you're gonna be aating words girls. So munch King's 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.040 one word. We've got that, okay. So the idea is, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.480 as we talk about patriarchy, matriarchy on the show, not macharchy, 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:52.280 what even I think that we do need to herald 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.360 in a bit of the hangover of the patriarchy and 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.360 bring in the word king. But for the girlipops now 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.760 the slogan patriarch king exactly about munch kings because we're cute, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.040 and the slogan is no munches, just munchies, but also 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.800 in brackets, sober and clean both physically and no drugs. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.520 Do you want to say your own cults? I feel 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:14.840 like you've got a very. 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.160 Clear vision and I don't want to get in the 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.719 way of you exercising. You'll understand where I was going 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.800 with that one. Oh, Like, it's so clear, just not 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.439 aligning what we want. And so what we're going to 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.200 do now, given that through me has very generously come 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.959 up with something creative and ingenious off the. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.800 Top, We're going to do a bit of a pole. 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.880 You're going to share your suggestions with us on what 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.600 our cult should be called and what the slogan should be. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.280 On our Instagram. It's flex and Frooms. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.320 We're going to compare your options to frooms as options, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.800 and then you, our cult members, will decide at the 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:47.200 end of it. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.559 I think that's fair, diplomatic. 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:49.439 Definitely fair, babe. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.640 The first and last time will be fair and diplomatic. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.760 I'm not sure suits, but we will try. Our best. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.440 Question of the day, should you just let your friends 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:00.680 date losers? 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:01.480 Why? 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.920 I feel personally that you might be spending too much 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.920 energy coaching your friends out of decisions they're gonna already make. Anyway, 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.560 this thought didn't spark for me. I got it from 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.280 a TikTok. She is Livy l iv I. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.600 I came to this point and like realization in my 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.200 life with my friends where if they want to do 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.040 like toxic behaviors and they want to go. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.360 Their loser X, you know what I'm gonna do. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.200 I'm like, yeah, like, go ahead that loser, like do 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.199 whatever makes your soul happy, or say they want to 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.200 date a loser, Yeah, date him going ahead. 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.000 You want to know why? Because I don't give up. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.800 You can't control other people's actions and what they do, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.320 and if someone wants to put. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.679 Themselves through hell, then they can put themselves through hell. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.480 I'm not gonna sit and try and get someone out 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.000 of a situation that they're willingly putting themselves in. But 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.400 if my friends want to do actions, you know what, 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.720 I'll support them because that's clearly what they need. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:03.200 She really said, I'm not okay, it's not okay. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.760 Part of me agrees with the sentiment that you should 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.800 let your friends date losers, in the sense that you 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.520 shouldn't go out of your way to squeeze yourself into 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.920 a decision your friend is making because you wouldn't make it. 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.840 I don't think you should coach them into dating them. 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.280 I don't think you should derail them off their path 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.280 because you would make a different decision. But I often 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.280 think you have to recognize where the friendship sits in 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:30.400 terms of priorities. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.920 Okay, you know, like, you're not gonna are you a 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:33.640 ride or die? 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.120 Who's like I'm following you into I'm following you off 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.360 that bridge. That's your boyfriend, that's my boyfriend. That's our boyfriend. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.400 He's a loser, but we love him. Or are you 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.520 more concerned with making sure your friend just has a 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.920 safe space. It's event and to share and to not 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.400 feel alone. Are you too driven by your own morals 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.839 and ethics to let a friendship determine how you feel 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.520 about something that you wouldn't agree with. Are you prioritizing 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.880 how you feel or what you believe over the reality 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.640 of their situation. That's a bit different, but overall, yeah, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.200 let your friends date loses. We're phrasing this like you 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.439 have any real say over who your friends date. Any Also, 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.600 let them. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.559 The damn to be damned. As we say, let someone 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.160 reject you once, but when the girl is gone back 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.080 for seconds, my hands are tied. My hands are tied. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.040 But try and catch yourself before you make any more decisions. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.840 I just think your commitment to being a friend sometimes 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.920 has to supersede what is the best piece of advice 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:38.360 to give. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.280 And unfortunately, by not doing the advice, you are going 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.199 to cut yourself out double the amount of time of 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:46.199 like listening to. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:47.959 The problems one more time. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.319 So like by you just letting them do it when 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.840 you know that it's a bad idea, you are perhaps 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.240 like letting them perpetuate the thing for another two weeks 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.360 and that's another two weeks of you having to listen. 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.000 If you don't stop your friends from dating losers, you 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.920 become a loser. I just did the math really quickly. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.920 So if you are who you surround yourself with, you 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.600 surround yourself with a friend. They surround themselves with a loser. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.599 You are now what alulah eh? 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.480 Let that be a lesson girls and boys. 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:22.839 If you're not doing it for yourself, do it for 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.120 your girls, do it for your friends. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.719 This is flex and frooms on Kita. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.760 Got some bad news, but truly I say bad news 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.880 to preface the gossip because people don't like hearing gossip 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.680 for what it is, fun and exciting, even if it's sad. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.840 Drake is on tour in America. Will he make it 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:45.679 back to Australia. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:46.480 I'm not sure. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.439 But the time that he came last time, I saw 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.800 him three times, so I might draked out. Yeah, I 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.000 don't know. Years I'm not good with years. Like you, you 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.559 really have a good a good. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:56.520 Grasp on time. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:56.959 I do. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:57.520 I don't. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.280 But I saw him once I paid two hunch fifty 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.520 bucks to stand in the center, and then the other 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.240 two times was the Sony corporate box the price has 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.320 gone up. What I will say, though, is I think 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.480 Drake is an amazing performer. And what I learned about 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.960 him that I could not foresee or fathom before I 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.719 went to that concert is how scripted and formulate concerts are. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.080 I obviously knew that the songs were going to go 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.880 in the same order, but he said the same thing 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.360 every night, and every night I almost thought it was 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400 sincere and I was like, no, it's scripted. At the time, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.880 he was selling Summer sixteen merch, right, so he'd be like, 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.880 I see you over there with the green Eyes and 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.000 the Summer sixteen merch, the green Eyes. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.120 I see you over there in the summer sixteen look 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.080 at mean yes. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.240 You baby, yeah, and I ate up every time. By 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.640 day three, I was like, there's something off and I 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.880 don't know what it is. Oh, I've heard this before. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:49.360 I've heard green eyes. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:50.360 H Yeah. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.160 Like it was the same thing again and again and again, 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.000 and maybe he'd add a little bit extra, but he 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.440 would never take away the bass. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.560 Maybe he's different now. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.760 So when videos were coming up with my TikTok drakeven content, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.080 I thought they'd be overwhelmingly positive because I think he 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.600 is a good performer. What is happening is Drake isn't 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:12.720 necessarily singing his songs as they are. He's putting a 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.360 playful spin on them. He's adding a riff or two 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:19.520 here and there. He's singing covers, he's singing the originals 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.760 of songs, he's interpolated, he's having. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.640 A good time with it. People don't like that. 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.240 People are saying, I want to hear the song as 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:31.840 it sounds on the record, which begs the question do 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.000 we go to concerts to hear songs that sound exactly 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:36.960 like the record or do we go for a show, 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.120 Because sometimes when I go out to gigs, I say 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.360 it sounds just like the record, but in a way 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:43.880 that I'm. 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:44.920 Like, are you lip syncing? 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:46.320 Interesting? 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:47.160 You know? 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:47.840 Are you really are? 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:47.920 You? 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.360 Can you hit that perfectly? Sometimes I want to hear 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.200 a little bit of. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.760 The raw vocal so I know you're actually singing. And 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.240 sometimes it's nice to be like, oh, you're switching it up, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.320 you're switching up. People aren't happy. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.480 I don't like it. For example, and radio, when people 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.800 like when the DJ like starts singing the end of 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.040 the song before they go into oh you don't like. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.440 That, nah, said the zone. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.200 I'm trying to listen to Savage Garden to the Moon 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.160 and Back, and you're singing the riff like, leave me 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:16.520 out of it. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:22.479 With all due respect, The thing is, I'm now understanding 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.080 for the money people now pay to go to concerts. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.960 So let's say five sixties a go when I saw 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.480 Drake and it was two fifty for me, that was huge. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.360 Money, big money. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.320 Now people are paying six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:35.720 for that kind of money. 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.920 I need this to be indistinguishable from Spotify. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.840 Yeah, and add dancers, and add stage production. I need 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.240 to see Betley's and cars and motorbikes on the stage 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:47.320 doing wheelies. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:47.560 You know. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.560 I did say, like on a TikTok, which we'll put 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.320 up on our insta Drake like on the big screens 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.080 when they throw to the audience, had put the cry 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.120 filter genius. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:57.000 That's hilarious. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.160 Like more of that. That's like a concert experience, you know. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.880 Anyway, Justice for Drake, Free him, let him go from 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.200 your limitations of experiencing live music. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:07.400 You've forgotten what it's about. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.040 And I'll also say all the best performers came from 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.800 having a TV show.

Just let it be known. I must 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.080 admit I have been getting back into the going out zone. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.800 I did take a little tiny bit of a break. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.520 Not any reason, Okay, I say this sort of say. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.480 Went to the Royal in Bondi recently. It's a pub 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.960 on the corner. It is attached to Totti's. Tell me why 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.600 I'm at the Royal. A couple drinks in having the 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.440 best time of life. I just pop in for a 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.800 quick dance before going to Club seventy seven.
