WEBVTT - What NOT To Ask On A Date 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast. Sweety Pries. We are back

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Friday the eleventh. Did anyone have a spooky day? On Tuesday?

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>The lions Gate portal was open. I don't really know

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>much about it, and I don't endeavor to do any

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>more research into it, but if you did have any

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>strange things happen, let us know. Threads is flopping, as

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:25.479
<v Speaker 1>predicted by me. I think it was one of my

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>first threads I ever made, that this place is going

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>to flop, just like zero and everything else before it.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I am a witch, though, so I did see that coming. Yeah,

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you were about it, No, you're about it. I love it.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>But my first rag was about it flopping, oh.

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Babe, because I sent you an email FLEXI and I

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, is threads just going to flop? Like be real?

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>And you were like, no, drag her. Yes, But did

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I not say my first thread was about it flopping? Well,

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>get the receipt time pulling it out, I'm scrolling. I said,

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing like being an early adopter for a platform

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that's likely to fade into obscurity in minutes. Remember Vero

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>first thread.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how anyways, and let's get the.

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>MUMMAE. Can I listen to flex and Rooms? Flex and Rooms, Okada.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I recently went to the Blue Mountains for a girl's

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 2>trip away. We stayed in a little cabin in Katomba.

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Actually, did you document this? I didn't really see this cointinet. No,

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>I didn't.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I tend not to upload things that I do in

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>my personal life, not for any reason. I was just

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>really enjoying myself in just very deep in life.

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's nice when you notice that. Though I always

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>have these situations where I'm just having such a ripping time.

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm going to ruin this. The phone comes out,

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I've ruined the moment. Well, I will say.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 2>We were at this really scary abba beat was super cheap.

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 2>It was like one hundred dollars in ANNT or something,

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>and I had seven rooms. It was deafo haunted. One

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 2>of them had this doll in it and we were

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>all playing with a doll. When sat like all sat

0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>on my bed to take a photo. I had this

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>had on that I found in the house holding the

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>flexus to shaking head. I was holding the doll and

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>we all got a photo and then as the camera

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>went off, the doll's head fell off. Yeah so yeah,

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Katoomba is a genuinely scary place. Anyway, we go for

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a walk. Next day, we decide to go to the

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Yellow Deli Cafe.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>The infamous Yellow Deli Cafe. Not just any cafe, mind you.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>It rates amazingly on Google. I'm talking like a four

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>point eight stars, more than two thousand reviews.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>But it's not just a cafe, it is a it

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>is a cult. So you might have heard of this cafe. Essentially,

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 2>when you go to Katumba, the main strip, there is

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>a cafe in the corner that there will perpetually be

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 2>a b linee out the front. It is like all

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 2>made of wood. It's like a tree wonderland in there.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty amazing, it's fantastic.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It's it's definitely the level of detail that any restaurant

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 1>should go to, and they won't. It feels like you're

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>in a Hobbit cafe. The tables are made out of

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>these definitely carved tree stumps, and like the cutlery and

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the utensils are all beautiful, and all the staff have

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a quintessentially cult like aesthetic yes, do that information what

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you will.

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>The Yellow Deli has been in Katomba for ages and

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>not many people know this, like the girls I was with,

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>I swear I told them before I went, but for

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>some reason they didn't listen to me. Seems to be

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a recurring theme and they later googled it and it

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>turns out it's run by the Twelve Tribes Communities, which

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>are also known as the Vine Christian Community Church, a

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Northeast Kingdom community church, and it was founded by Jeans Spriggs.

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>That sprang out of the Jesus Movement of nineteen seventy

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 2>two in Chattanooga, Tennessee. So Twelve Tribes started in Tennessee

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and it has found its way to Katoomba. I don't

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>want to make any crazy claims, given I could be

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 2>liable for defamation.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>You could google them though. There are a lot of

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>stories on the internet. But I think it's interesting, just

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>like the like social norms they have, like they don't

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>eat sugar or chocolate or coffee or tease. They finish

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>their showers with a cold rinse for one to two

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>minutes to boost the mind. They're all about confessing sins.

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>The men keep beds things like that. That's the light stuff.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>If you want to dig deeper, I would recommend you

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>do some research, but it will sour your experience dining

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in the cafe, which I have done myself as well.

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Eat I don't recall, but the powet is not for me.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 1>It's quite like hearty and sturdy and rusty. It's not

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my vibe. Like you know, you want to get a

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>like a fruit salad and there's like cheese seas on

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it or something. But what I will say is that

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I already have this problem that my friends have observed

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>where I don't really pay attention to anything that's not

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>right in front of me. So if we go out

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to eat, I'm gonna be looking at you through me

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>or my phone. I'm not really taken in the site.

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>But when I went with three friends, they were like,

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>these people were stop staring at you. And I was like,

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like like they're staring at you. So

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, you want going to do?

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 2>They're like what they see? Yeah, because they think I

0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 2>could convert her?

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because they are, you know, I'm down. I'm already

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>half converted at all times. I get what the belief system.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Is all this I find quite interesting, not because I

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>want to go against it, but because I think we

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>could learn a thing or two about the Yellow.

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Deli way of life, about belonging.

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I think we need to create our own cult Flexi mummy.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised I haven't already, but I think that's what's

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>stopping me is that it takes a lot of sheet

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>effort in dedication. And I also think you really you

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>need to clear common goal and I don't have that yet.

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I think we're gonna make who cult Flexi. I've got

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 2>it in my third eye.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>You probably called it as soon as it launched. Threads,

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the new social media app Twitter, rip off from Mark Zuckerberg,

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>is flopping. It's flopping hard. I personally haven't used it

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>since the twenty third of July, and that's for a reasons,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>because you pioneered that. I pioneered that, and I like

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to be ahead of the curb. But the issue is

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>for something to maintain. It's a lure. People have to

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>use it, and fundamentally that app it was released to

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the world half finished. I honestly think Zuckerberg just liked

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the astrology of launching on that day because it was

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>good astrology for Threads the day at launch. I don't know,

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>but basically, do you know that quote? It's like millionaires

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 1>don't believe in astrology? What billionaires do?

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I like that?

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I reckon he liked the astrology of the day.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>He said, Mercury is exactly where it needs to be

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>for this let's launch. Now, what I will say is

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Zuckerberg himself implied the flop. He said, user engagement has

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>fallen seventy percent after launch, and time spent on the

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 1>app has dropped from nineteen minutes to four minutes. And

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I want to know why. I think the fundamental issue

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is sign up stats were inflated because of how frictionless

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>it was to sign up to Threads. A click of

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the button, it migrates all your Instagram data to this

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>new platform. But it didn't consider that Instagram is an

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>image based app. These people aren't words funny. It's too

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>much pressure for the average Instagram user to find a

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>way to be profound using words, and we're too far

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>from the day and age of making statuses. We go

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>into this app and we think we've got to be profound, funny, sharp, witty.

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Everything needs to hit and no one was there being

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>like I just ate a sandwich, Yeah, bring it back,

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>And so that was never going to work for a

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>social app. A social media app, it was lacking so

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>many features. There's no explore page, you couldn't search by

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>topic or search by keyword. You couldn't adjust your algorithm

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to see anything but what Threads wanted you to see,

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>which was sorry, your friends. And then it would integrate

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>random accounts that it thinks that you would like based

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.239
<v Speaker 1>on your Instagram usage, which we all know that's different,

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>like what I like differs per platform. Also, one of

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the biggest barriers I reckon for Threads is that there

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a desktop app. You couldn't integrate it with anything

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>on a desktop. We couldn't embed it in an article.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>So there were heaps of moments to reference threads that

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>have been made, but you could only just share it

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:59.559
<v Speaker 1>to Instagra. It's like its own little ecosystem. So based

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>on there, based on Zuckerbird coming out and acknowledging that

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>it's been a floppiana, they have gone ahead and said, well,

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>there are some new updates coming soon. So if you

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>are using Threads at the moment and you think your

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>moment's a way of abandoning it for good. Please stay

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>tuned because Zuckerbird has said there's gonna be two ways

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>to customize your feed, did not disclose in which ways.

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be some translations. If you're bilingual, you might

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>use that. There's gonna be some new ways to filter notifications,

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a new follow button just esthetically, and a way to

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>approve or follow requests. So it's not looking great for

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Threads and they've got literally six weeks to really get

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it together. Don't launch something that's not gonna be a

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>super computer of every app we already have.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, I'm sick of it.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kata.

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 2>The girlies know that when you come to listen to

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the Flex and from show. No matter who you are,

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>no matter where you live, no matter what your vocation

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>or your sexual preference. Oh, dating is a fantastic topic

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>that we can all learn a bit about. I was

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>on online on the internet and I came across an

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 2>article by Refinery twenty nine.

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Is it, Mickey?

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that because it was actually you that

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>found an article, Frank, because you're tireless.

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Ware who work never no warries. And this is an

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>article called.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and five Questions to ask your crush when

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't know what to say. Naturally, my interest was

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 2>peaked immediately by such a story, and I thought we

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>must dig deeper. The girl is must dig deep.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm already stuck on when you don't know what to say?

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>What's the issue? I feel like if you don't know

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>what to say, that's your answer, right.

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Well no, because it's like, especially on the first set,

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't want too many awkward pauses. You need something arsenal,

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 2>even if you don't use it you somedays you need

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>to feel secure. Essentially, this person says having a crush

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on someone can simultaneously be the best and worst feeling

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>in the world. I feel you, sis. While that jittery

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>butterflies in your stomach warmth can make you feel giddy

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and happy, it can also be the most nerve wracking

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 2>thing ever. They go on to share, and this is

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 2>all printed out by Mickey The treads are weeping. One

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fivequestions to ask your crush. I want to

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 2>start and debunk every single one of them because I

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>think they are horrible.

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And to clarify back on my point. We all know

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I make conversation card games. I like questions to get

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to know people deeper. If you're struggling to do the surface,

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm concerned, but I'm not judging you. Please, okay.

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Number one, what is your star sign? Or don't you?

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't you dare to worry about it?

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 2>The amount of people like I read this thing that

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 2>if you're heterosexual dating and a man knows your star

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 2>sign ran through, I kind of like him ran through. Yeah,

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I know, No, that's not a bad thing, you know

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? Mickey? I feel like to any of

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>us have put out what's your star sign? And now

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>they've all got the birth chance.

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's totally problem.

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this is a manipulation technique. Do you are you

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 2>actually about that life? Or you're just saying what you

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>think I want to hear.

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean most people aren't really about that life really.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>What is your favorite book of all time? I cannot

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>be ballied unless we've both read it. It's boring. Number three,

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 2>what kind of music are you into it? What's your

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 2>favorite album? Are you serious?

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even name one and I'm a DJ. Red

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Flag say less. Number five, where'd you grow up.

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll all allow that sixty have any siblings, I'll allow it,

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>but that has to be Like if it's a date

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>that's two hours and you got to the end of

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>tether and you actually want to know, it has to

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 2>be necessary because again, why do you care?

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter right now.

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>So no to siblings.

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like when you know, when people

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 1>like don't talk about religion and politics on the first day.

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like your first day is to master conversational rapport.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.079
<v Speaker 1>It's not what you're talking about, it's how you're speaking.

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Are we bouncing, are we joking? Are we vibing? If not,

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to know about your siblings. It doesn't

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>matter if you have a parent, want one who cares?

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>What's you favorite subject of school? Honestly, like, graduated ten

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 2>years ago?

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Ten plus ten blush?

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Would you ever get to tell you? I mean, these

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 2>are absolutely horrendous. If you want to go ring to article.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>And crossing as she grows and it's not looking good,

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:02.719
<v Speaker 1>he a w.

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 2>A capers in far scary anyway, I've gone through some

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of the questions already, but it's time that we turn

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 2>the focus inwards.

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're doing a thought experiment for me. Now on

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a date. She's claimed to have liked a few of

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 1>these questions, and so I will do her the honor

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>of posing them to her, and with all the enthusiasm

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>she claims to have, she will answer them, Well, sure,

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>do you have a dating type?

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>This is so rough. I just can't. I have walked

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>straight into that.

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.839
<v Speaker 2>If I can find one common denominator between all the

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 2>people that I've gone on, like, i've dated.

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, come on.

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 2>They're all like friendly.

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh they're not even Oh my god. One more, give

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>us one way? Okay, what's a dating type? One more?

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you listen to anything? I tell you. The

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>one thing I taught the girl is when you're on

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the date and you've imposed questions, it's not that telling

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the truth paint the picture. What's my dating type? I

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>have the best experience of people who treat me well,

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>people who are open to new experiences, people who love

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to joke and have fun. That's my dating type. For

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>feeling sassy, you say not when I see it? Yes, okay, okay,

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Next question, what's your ideal first date?

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 2>My ideal first date is someone who organizes it.

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Trauma, trauma, because what you're saying is that you don't

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 1>go on dates. Say shut up, shut up, Come on.

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>That one is a target of attack.

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>You know who you are. Okay, my favorite first date.

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.559
<v Speaker 2>I want to go on an adventure with you. I

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 2>want to go out for dinner and then we go

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and do something crazy like once I went on a

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 2>date and oh, I actually can't say because it's illegal,

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>but nice, you know, ran into these restaurants that were

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 2>closed and like jumped on the tables and then walked

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 2>through Hyde Park and we saw a squirrel and we

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>held hands and we kiss beautiful.

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, lots of crazy stuff happened, I will say. Look,

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the article is titled one hundred and five questions to

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>ask you a crush when you don't know what to say,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 1>And here's my thing. I don't even know what to say,

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have a crush on. I imagine that

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people would resonate with an article like

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>this because they've hyped up what's happening in the early

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>stages of a day. It honestly is a vibe assessment.

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I speak to three me often, and I say that

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>some of our relationship isn't asking questions back and forth.

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>It's providing information and someone responding, providing information and responding.

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>What makes the friendship is how we keep responding to

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>each other. We have a similar humor, We like each

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>other's ideas and thoughts. That's the environment you're creating in

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a day. You're not trying to mind information to create

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a picture of a person. You're trying to assess a vibe.

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>If you're having difficulties assessing the vibe, I might say

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>there is no vibe, and therefore, go and seek out

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>someone you have a better vibe with you, go and

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>seek therapy. It shouldn't be so prescriptive. You really are

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for something into tangible, but something that ultimately feels good,

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>simple as that.

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Any other questions you'd like to ask me flax before.

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You go, Yes, I have a few. I'd like to

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>ask you. This is a good one. How did you

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>meet your best friend and what do you love about them?

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 2>My best friend's name is Madison. We met on MySpace.

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>See this is great tell me more two.

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Thousand and eight. We went to the same school, with

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 2>different campuses. She was from the country campus. She was

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 2>a horse girl. She had the cause my space of

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>anyone in our school all HGTML whatever did helping and

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 2>then we just got talking. Our friendship really was cemented

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 2>obviously in high school. To this day, we talk every day.

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you like about her?

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>She's the most one of the most sensitive people I know.

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Her comprehension skills, very specific comprehension is unheard of.

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>She is completely never.

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Makes me feel stupid for being anxious. It's like a

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>safety blanket, but also one of the smartest feel of

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 2>ever met. An incredible writer and a very very honestly

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 2>like intellectually gifted.

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you reckon? She likes about you? It is

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>like love.

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>We have something that is akin to love.

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>You'd hope. So after being friends for literally templus, I

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>think I think it's love.

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 2>You know me, I never trust myself. What does she

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>like about me? She likes that I'm creative and that

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sensitive, and that we like the shared understanding and

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 2>the shared language that no one else can have except

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 2>fast too.

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>One more question, One more question. What's a compliment that

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you've been given that stuck with you.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I went on a show recently. I won't name who

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 2>it was, but a very I trusted Australian. Yeah, in

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the entertainment industry said to me, Jee, this is good stuff. Honestly,

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the nicest things. I did repeat this to

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 2>a date recently. I thought, this is the kind of

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff you need to be said to me. They said,

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>you have an excellent energy and a clever but unpredictable mindea,

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>a rare combination, and a stuck and it's true. I said,

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>damn you stawmicking.

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>It's nice to be seen. I was sweating.

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I was so excited. I feel like in a dating scenario,

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I want someone actually wrote a manifest list. I want

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>someone who thinks that I'm very unique. Yeah, because that's

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 2>but I need to keep doing the thing where I

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 2>think about what I want from someone, because I don't

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>know if I want the same thing for them. Do

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful, I want to be a store.

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a store mummy. Anyway, print the

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>list one hundred and five questions to ask your question

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't know what to say, and ask your friend.

0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.919
<v Speaker 2>It's so nice answering questions. Flex thanks Yeah, time that

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I asked the question. Has furiism gone too far here

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 2>in the human community?

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Not gone far enough?

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I've seen a news story on news dot com dot

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 2>au man spends twenty two thousand dollars to become a

0:17:55.240 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 2>real life Border Collie dog. Instantly, my mind is back

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to one of the greatest news stories of July August

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three. There is a zoo in China, Okay.

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>And inside the zoo in China, there is a bear enclosure.

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Skinny bears all across.

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 2>The globe, all across the Internet. I see human in disguise,

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>zoo forced to deny bear is a person in a costume.

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 2>What I then see is a bear walking on its

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.439
<v Speaker 2>hind legs, has the saggiest ass I've ever seen on

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:29.360
<v Speaker 2>a four legged friend, and the bear. The bear went

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 2>on the zoo social media and said, some people think

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I stand like a person. It seems you don't understand

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 2>me very well. Tell me why when they're trying to

0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 2>convince everybody that the bear is a bear and not

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a human, do they decide to go first person on

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the social From bears perspective, It's strange because in this instance,

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we're familiar with the make and

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.199
<v Speaker 2>build of an average bear, but it's juicy.

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>A bear is voluptuous, right, this one is skinny and

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>has no bend in the leg, and also the legs

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>are long. Bears have short legs. No, I think it's

0:18:59.160 --> 0:18:59.919
<v Speaker 1>legs for short.

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:01.919
<v Speaker 2>You're giving it body dysmorphia.

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>But also I think it's the fact that like we

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 1>we try and humanize animals to relate to them anyway,

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Like we pretend that we see cats smiling, and we

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>pretend that we see dogs smirking, And so this just

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>feels like we've taken it too far, perhaps like we've

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>just been able to see a human like character in

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.199
<v Speaker 1>a bear, and now like it must be human, so

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that seems more absurd.

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it's a bear or human?

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a bear. I think it's a human.

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.159
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's a bear, you know, No, Like

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I look at it and say, that's a person for sure,

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But I know that's just my own filtering and brainwashing.

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:38.680
<v Speaker 2>If you could be an animal, what would you be?

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>A puma?

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 2>A puma? Yeah, pooh mammy.

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Nice as if you're all laughing about, say you ain't

0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in that, mummy, this is flex mummy.

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Pooh pooh mammy, and pom's poms and pruh mammy.

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.720
