WEBVTT - The Relationship Curse You've Never Heard Of 💔

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast brought.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I do not mean to use the word curse and

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 2>dating in the same sentence, but it's about time that

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I share this information. It was told to me on

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>an occasion where I bought an ex shoes.

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>It was said, flippantly, what do you know about that?

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>About buying an X shoes? Yeah? I don't What do

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you mean, why did you say first mistake? I don't

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>know shoes are so specific.

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just frugal frooms coming out. Yeah, okay, okay,

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>not afraid to drop a.

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Bag on the one I love. Okay, I'm sugar mummy. True, true,

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>But it was said to me flippantly that it's quote

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>unquote bad luck to buy your partner shoes. Now, this

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 2>person you know, some friends you can tell they're a

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>wealth of knowledge, was not that kind of person, an

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 2>acquaintance one I didn't even know. Whet research from it

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>came up again and recently three years later or whatever,

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 2>so I do some research. There's not a lot out there,

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>but Reddit always provides. Allegedly, in a few cultures cross Africa, Asia, Europe,

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>it is considered bad luck or even a curse to

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>buy your partner shoes because they would wear those same

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>shoes and hawk out of your life. I'm thinking, what

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>did Nike do to you? Okay, what did Doc Martins

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>do to you? Apparently the whole thing comes from back

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>back in the days where women predominantly would sit there

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and make these soft shoes for their partners. They could

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>like walk and go on long journeys right across to

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>other like towns and villagers do work and stuff. And

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>the idea is that if you make the shoes too comfortable,

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>they can walk further away from you, meet another nice woman,

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? You know what I mean,

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and never come back to you. Oh dear, do you

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>believe in superstitions like that?

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Depends? What do you mean? Depends If I'm in a.

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Bad way, I believe in superstitions. If I'm chilling, I

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 3>don't believe in superstitions.

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>So where are you at now? Half half? Will you

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>or will you not? Buy your partner shoes? I will

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>buy them shoes? What kind of shoes?

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Nike Free, Nike Air Force ones?

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Nah? Are you buying my king boat shoes?

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, I love a loafer. I've been known to

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 2>buy a man a loafer it's hot. Yeah, it's like

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 2>the first phase of transforming them.

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Your daddy's only and we have to stop changing people

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 3>we do.

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>We have to accept them as they are. What is

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>a good boy shoe? A good shoe for a low

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>dock Martin? Yeah, hot, yeah, SMaL, we crack the matrix.

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Just if you're a boy.

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 3>You're listening, I personally don't look good in a low

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 3>dock neither.

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, No, I like that silhouette. Yeah.

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>This made me think of other dating superstitions because I

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like people have them, but they wouldn't call them superstitions,

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Like you don't sleep with them on the first date

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 2>if you want to be taken seriously.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 3>So, I've only just recently got into Sex in the City.

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm watching it from front to back.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you think you're also Samantha?

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 3>No, I was gonna say Charlotte. So Charlotte with their

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>first husband. Have you watched the show? Charlotte is like

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 3>a wholesome girl. She wants to settle down, she wants

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 3>to tick all the boxes, very innocent vibes, and she

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 3>meets this guy Tray, who's perfect on paper. She's like

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 3>thirty four, like ready to settle down. And so she

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>like doesn't have sex with him because she thinks, oh,

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 3>if I don't have sex with him, he'll want me.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't have sex till the night of the marriage. Hectic,

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 3>and it turns out he doesn't like having sex and

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 3>he can't root and he can't.

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Get his ed function.

0:03:51.760 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then it like nearly panse panous maple fet in.

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so hetero am I? Yeah?

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>What I was trying to say was her superosition worked

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 3>out badly because then she didn't get to try before

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 3>she bought.

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Andrew Tate, jeez, what do you mean trouble you

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>buy a wedding ring?

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, don't be throwing that tear you around me.

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm a fun bird cutie. Okay, no, no, no, what's

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 3>the supersition that I believe in? I definitely have my

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 3>like I don't like admitting it, but there's definitely that

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 3>thing of like, I worry about age. What do you mean,

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 3>like I worry that I'm not going to meet someone.

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, statistically most people won't meet.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Someone don't love. I can't I can't love. I can't

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 2>But then I'll get into a relationship you could have

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my God, this is the same girl.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried I won't meet anyone. What about the longest

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 1>tune ever? This one's been sitting in your nut since

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty five. I put that video up. Did he

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 1>message me?

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 2>He did?

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, he messaged me a selfie video of him

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 3>zooming on himself in the mirror.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It was never gonna work. Yeah, now, oh I'm freaking out. No.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>There's definitely like superstitions that you have, particularly as a woman.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>If you want certain things, you're like, oh, if you

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 3>really want something, you psychically make changes. And I think

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 3>that's superstitious because you don't actually have to change, Like

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 3>your age doesn't matter necessarily in certain bits, like it's like, oh,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 3>when I turn thirty, I gotta be x y Z

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 3>like that. Superstitions, but they're just widely held superstitions.

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I also think that if you are dealing with someone

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>who actually likes you, there isn't much you can do wrong,

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>considering that you're trying to be on your best behavior anywhere.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I think about some of my past boyfriends and the

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>energy that I was bringing to the space.

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Good so flippant, like you know, like so flippant, not.

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Noncommittal, just like hyperindependent and yet latched on.

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>It's what you do. I would hate to date you,

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.239
<v Speaker 1>but I no I do.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I would hate to date you, but I would love

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 3>to be loved by you.

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 3>So, if you're someone the issue is bibe, you need

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>to find someone toe cure.

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Literally, that is the issue. Hard to date, But it's

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>nice to be loved by me. Do you know what's

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>really bad when you get demoted by me? Because I'd

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 2>be doing it.

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, tell me more.

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>You can tell when people are my favorite people versus

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>when they get demoted. I like to be interdependent with

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>my favorite people.

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you demote people within your friendship group.

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot, but sometimes, like I feel like sometimes

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you're in a wavelank with someone You're like, know what

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>this is? This feels good, Like this is where all

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>my energy is. And then some people I'm like, no,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>my energy is.

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Not good here. It's not like reciprocated. It's not fun.

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>But because I'm very extreme, I can't half fast emotion.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>We're just not gonna be hanging out. You're gonna be

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>throwing them down.

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like it's just like you're just not You're not

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't have the same access.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like a subscription. It feels literally it feels.

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Like it's a gate. I don't even have the key

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>to this gate anymore. Like you just don't have the

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>key anymore. I don't know who has it, but I

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have it. It's gonna be waving you from the gate,

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know how to get in. But it's

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>really good in here.

<v Speaker 1>I want to know Coo here the better.

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Because what I've realized is if you think something's if

<v Speaker 3>you think something very deeply, but you think it's weird,

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:44.240

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear that thing of this girl who was

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>like she's writing a pros and cons list of like

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.800

<v Speaker 1>She's like, it's never gonna work.

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 3>See, that's only good if their family is good. Otherwise

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 3>it's a disaster.

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.920

<v Speaker 3>Well bye, another gorgeous listener coming to us to our

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 3>end of the world island gat Way to be a

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 3>great place to be if the world ends.

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 2>No, no, don't get me started on that. No, we

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be on water when the world is ending.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we don't even have enough food, enough flex and frooms.

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>They're the best you hellolo.

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 3>I gotta stop saying that because I'm actually not from Britain.

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm thirty three percent Scottish.

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm Scottish. Is my like star symbol star sign? Yeah,

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>your sun sign? Then British is your moon moon? I

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's your rising. Actually, what does that mean? Is

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that the big one? I don't think we should get

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 1>into it right now. Would you prefer to a Scottish greeting?

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I want to be like Scottish presenting. Scottish people

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 3>are funnier, or I think Irish are the funniest.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>So what's Scottish greeting? You can give us.

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Shrek adjacent anyway I say this, or to say I

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 3>have a hack a wiki?

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>How if you will? About one online app It rhymes

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>with click clock. I remember at the start of our

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>show we used to not call it TikTok. You'd call

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.439
<v Speaker 1>it the clock app click clock.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 3>If we had some sort of commercial limitations. So we

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 3>call it TikTok. If you are familiar, and I often

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 3>like to harvest tiktoks to them post on Instagram.

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I know millennial rising. Yeah, it's giving. Harvest is a

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>great word, though, what is what I do?

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 3>I go and it's like I hoe the fields or

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 3>whatever you're mining, throw ten on the story for the normy.

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Someone Gina Rhinhant, get on with it, twiggy, and then

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you say you miss that Twiggy.

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I love to harvest tiktoks, and sometimes I find

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 3>you can't save them. How like some creators make it

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 3>so you can't save. So he's to screen record, but

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 3>you can see all the ugly buttons on the side,

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 3>like how many people commented?

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 4>And then a.

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 1>TikToker toare me a trick.

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 3>There's a mode, so you press the little three buttons

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 3>on the right and you say clear mod, Clear mode.

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 3>What happens, All those buttons go away, so all you

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 3>can see is the video. So if you want to

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 3>record a video, rip it, just pull.

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>If you want to illegally.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Steal someone's content to repurpose without any reference to their

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>original username, is how you do it.

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Clear mode must be done. Anyway. I just thought it

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>was really interesting and I personally will use it, so

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I liked it a lot. Flex and Fromes you're listening

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to Flex and firms.

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 2>What the frick as you know, I've touched down from Ghana.

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>It is the wild, wild West, the land of cocoa oil.

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Gold oil. Yeah, it's some oil there, but mostly gold

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and cocoa. Oh, I think of like olive oil, but

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:21.319
<v Speaker 1>actual like petrol. Yeah, and cocoa. Coco cabri there, cocoa capital, babe.

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 2>All the other European countries are mining cocoa from Ghana.

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Just Ghana, Central America. Cops. Yeah, but Ganna got the

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 1>better coat, babes. Sorry, history, listen, no question, just listen.

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I was experiencing some bower issues now. I want to

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>be honest.

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.959
<v Speaker 1>With the Coco capital. That's good if having a brown enough.

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not one of those capital i ibs gurlies or

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Capital L lactose girlies. I'm quite mild in those things.

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>But what I can guarantee is a once a day

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>bow release. Really yeah, that's just what it's gonna happen

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 2>for me, true, okay. And what was not happening was

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 2>a one to day bow release in Ghana. It got

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 2>to about day seven and I was like, okay, so

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 2>something's backed up. What I will say though, I was

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 2>just eating soup because I was six, and maybe I

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>was just coming out the front not the back.

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. I can't do it, but I did.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Hit didn't when you talk about this stuff.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>So when I do it, it's an issue. Yeah, when

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 2>they do it anyway. So I did do some research.

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I felt like a scientist when mining this data for you.

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's a surprisingly simple answer as to why hotties,

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in particular, I can't poop on vacation, and allegedly scientifically,

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 2>anytime you leave your general habitat, you're gonna disrupt the

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 2>way your body functions. So if you're in a different

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>time zone, obviously things are out of whack. You're eating

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>at a different time, you're sleeping at a different time,

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>you're hydrating at a different time at a different intensity.

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 2>And while that may seem like very chill for you, consciously,

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 2>your body is probably registering that as like stress related

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 2>changes in activity. So it's freaking out on behalf of you.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. If we're stressed but don't

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>have time to.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Do this, that's fine.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Also, I was reading that movement generally, and it's walking, skipping, copping, running,

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 2>getting up and down simulates the gut. So when you're

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 2>sitting on a plane for ages, sitting in a car

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 2>for ages, sleeping for longer than you usually would, or

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 2>whatever that's not moving the stuff around that needs to

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 2>move so it.

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Comes out of you.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So do your big intestines a favor. Start moving on holiday.

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>If you want to pooh, if you're not interested, don't.

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Worry about it.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather not move and not pooh then the other way.

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I also actually would recommend eating junk food. My bowel

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 3>movement's got a lot more regular when I started eating

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 3>more junk food.

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 2>So also it might be all that sodium packed airplane food.

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you, because didn't we talk last time.

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I think last year we spoke about the fact that

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>airplane food is made to kind of like clog you

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>up because we can't have eighty thousand people trying to

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>use the bathroom.

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's genius, it makes sense, all right.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Firms, Flex and Frimes Cater never miss a beat.

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Last year we learned about the phenomena called quiet quitting.

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>It's when you just do your job and you don't

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 2>break your back for the for the what do you

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>call him, the big man, uh, the the mister big Yeah,

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>for corporations.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, you just clocky and you do your job. You

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 1>go home.

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>You don't work later than you need to. You don't

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 2>put your heart and soul in it. You just like

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>do the job and leave. The issue is too many

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>of you took it too seriously and you started bludging

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 2>at work, and a few of you got fired. I

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 2>did see a few he got fired. A fair few

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 2>of you though, thought you could outsmart the man.

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately the man is the man for a reason. Yeah,

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>who do we work for? Whose side? Anyway?

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I heard about a story of this, this woman in

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Canada who actually got fined for bludging at work. Basically,

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>she was let go and she tried to sue her

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 2>employer for like unfair dismissal. She won a five k

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>because she was like, hey, you didn't community notice. I

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 2>need some money. So her work was like, okay, we're

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 2>going to contest this and go and see if you

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 2>were actually doing all the work you said you were

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 2>doing in the thirty eight hours per week you were

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 2>meant to be putting in thirty hours of work. What

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 2>were you doing? So they went back using this app

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>to check all her activity, all the browsers she was

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.840
