WEBVTT - The Best Excuses For Skipping Work 👩‍🌾

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms. Flex and Frooms.

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 2>This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh sweety piece, it's Friday, and thank goodness for that.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Today we talk about the best excuse not to go

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>to work and the reason why you ruminate. I think

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it should provide you with some comfort. But also we

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>don't tend to oversimplify everything for no reason. It's just

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>because some things can afford to be simplified for the

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>sake of the girl's brains.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, anyway, happy weekend. Here's the potty Flex and Frooms.

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 3>What time is it, guys, I'm not sure, but hopefully

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 3>it is no longer work time. But if it is,

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 3>I want to give you a list of excuses to

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 3>get out of work. For some people this is easier

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>than others. If you're working in a nine to five

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 3>office type of job where to be honest like you

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 3>could you could do your work at home, then maybe

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 3>this is more appropriate. However, I have a friend, for example,

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 3>who works as a teacher.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll just be throwing round a city. You really can't.

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what the protocol is for being a teacher

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and needing a sick day?

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 3>What about being a surgeon, whoa or a doctor and

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 3>you've already banked up a million.

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>People have been waiting for this surgery, waiting to see

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>You're kind of like, Oh, I actually can't.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>You just would have to be taking a lot of

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 3>armor force. Yeah, is that weird too?

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Like, who'd even thought of that? Well?

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of jobs are built that way,

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>where they don't have a contingency for if the one

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>person can't do it. But if we can't, we couldn't

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>do it. We worked for a whole week with no voice. Facts,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>who else is going to do flex and froo if

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't have an understudy?

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 3>It's hitting a little too close to home. Yeah, so

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 3>is this article by Refinary twenty nine?

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 4>Is that right?

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 3>This is article by Cosmo which is actually published March third,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 3>which my birthday. We're going back in the after I

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>remember this one. Here are some excuses that this writer

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 3>has found my brother's appendix ruptured, which I think is

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 3>a fine one. I thought my appendix ruptured this morning.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>But your brother, who cares?

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you had to take them to the hospital. Oh okay,

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>my WiFi went out. That's a brilliant one. That's that's

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>underutilized I'd say.

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know you have data. Everybody has data.

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Maybe then you say your phone, you're on the sixty

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 3>nine dollars Plana.

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You have data. I feel like people wouldn't be forgiving

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>for that one.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>My dog's not feeling well. I think it's some circles

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 3>that do well.

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but the circles were that would do well. You

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>probably already have mental health days. You can take facts.

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 3>So for some reason, my hands are cramping, given I

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>have Reinard's syndrome, which I've told you all about, when

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 3>my fingers don't get circulation. This is something that I

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 3>pulled out at Splendor one year. In the cold, I

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 3>couldn't wear I had to wear gloves. But then I

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 3>couldn't do the Instagram story with gloves on. Someone slashed

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 3>my tires.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>That need to bend your fingers to post, Babes, No.

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 3>I had to wear gloves. You can't do gloves on

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 3>the screen.

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh got it.

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Someone's like, have a friend who could help babes.

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Someone slashed my tires. Now, as we know, I have

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 3>used this. Yeah. When I got back from Bali twenty

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty two and someone had gone in and lit afire

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 3>in my car. What happened?

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I still went to work? You really did?

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 3>I got an uber yeah offlone paycheck didn't get reenbursed.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>She didn't. I have to go to court.

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a classic one. Show people you're a bit bad.

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh I qualified for the state track championship and my

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 3>apartment is flooding.

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I wonder outside of some of the bad habits we've

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>all made around working. You know people who are like, oh,

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I won't take a sick day because I don't let

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>my team downlahlahlahlah. If we all just decided we would

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>work as as it states in our contract, like take

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>your one hour lunch break, rock up at nine, leave

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>at five. If we all did that, take your sick

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>day that you're allotted. Like what I would do is

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I would ask HR how many sick days hours I

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>have allotted and then just use them.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 3>If you don't use sick days to get money, if

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 3>we need to start scheduling them in Truly, that's a

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>life pack, because some of you girlies don't even know

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>it's gotta be an HR pack when you first come

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 3>to a job.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's get that.

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Let's get that through legislation. Call up mister Albanisi, I

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>got to hook up with total just do a few

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 3>barks and get him to eat the current legislation or change.

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Sick days to mental health days, and then under the

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 1>umbrella we can have cramps go under there, bad brain days.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>All of that kind of stuff were and realistically because

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this as someone who doesn't look sick when I am sick,

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to have to come through with the

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>evidence of visually being sick to be seen as sick.

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to be listing through the symptoms of

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>my mystery illness to be justified the sick day that

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm entitled to because I worked for it. M like

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sick should be enough. Or get in you know

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>at six and be like, hey, heads up, not feeling well.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Won't be coming in today. I've sent through my tasks

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>that need to be handed off to someone. Or good

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>take you six days, please please. You're not a better

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>person for not taking six days. I promise you. Also

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>take it annual leave. People don't like you more because

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't take your leave. Thank you. It is flex

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and frooms on kita. If you are an overthinker, a ruminador,

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>a back and forth in the brain. I need to

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>consult my friends for every decision. Type of person. This

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>TikTok might just be from you, This TikTok might just

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>be for you. It's my creator called jess Atrige.

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 3>A big reason why we ruminate is because it gives

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 3>us a false sense of control over a situation that

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 3>we did not feel control over.

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>When we go.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Back and dissect and try to give new meaning to

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 3>past experiences, and it's coming from this place of lack,

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 3>and it's coming from this place of desperation. It's an

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 3>illusion of control.

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't that beautiful, eloquent, concise, clicked immediately? No need to

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>die of deep any further. It is all there. I

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>only figured out I was a control freaking therapy. Isn't

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that wild?

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy?

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Like, why wasn't that clear? I don't know what I

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>thought I was doing or what I thought the action was.

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>If not trying to control things, maybe I thought I

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>was just being proactive or being involved, being practical, But no,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely control freak coded.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 3>I feel like rumination doesn't get like self diagnosed enough,

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Like I never really I'm a big fat ruminator. As

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>a unike use that right of course.

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Because we don't go down alone together in this building.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 3>But like I even today when I'm ruminating, I don't

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 3>realize that it's part of that. I don't realize i'm

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 3>doing it. I honestly think that I'm troubleshooting. You've seen

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 3>a firsthand, I come to you with text.

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is a form of trouble shooting, but I

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>guess troubleshooting. Troubleshooting is more systems, like a clear structure

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.799
<v Speaker 1>to get to the end goal, whereas ruminating is bouncing

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>between often extreme opposing thoughts for what solution really to

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>feel better, I guess.

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 3>To feel better. And it's hard when there's no solution.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>It's so hard when there isn't a best way forward

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>because you don't know what the outcome is going to be.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Regardless, So what do you do? Do you reckon?

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>You know me? Impulse? Just make a choice, any choice.

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 3>But what if it isn't a choice to make.

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>There's always a choice to make. In action is a choice.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 3>So the choice is to stop ruminating.

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think ruminating is a symptom of a bigger issue.

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I don't think it is the issue, Like

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>it's how you are ruminating is how you respond to

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>things happening around you, So what is happening around you?

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 3>I guess sometimes o rumination is just like actually totally

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 3>maladaptive to the point where you're like ruminating over something

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 3>that isn't is like nonsensical. Yeah you know, that's like yeah.

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's we're oversimplifying it. It's this idea that we

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>all technically have choices, but do we want to make them.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>It's choosing between a thing that will make me uncomfortable

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>or I think they will make me sad. Go, nobody

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>wants to do that. But I definitely feel like there

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is something to say about simplifying generally, you know, getting

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to a solution, not the best one, not the perfect one,

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>but one that gets you further along the journey of

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>understanding why you're ruminating, because I what I would want

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>to avoid is feeling like any rumination is futile or

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a purpose. Where you put your energy is

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>what matters to you period.

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 3>I will say, though some rumination is purely maladaptive in

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 3>the case of obsessive compulsive swatter.

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, but then that's like a very specific situation.

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm thinking about that.

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>What I'm thinking about rumination?

0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, babe, okay, anyway, do you hear me? Tell me

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 3>why the Karen era is yet again activated against.

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>My against my will.

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 3>It's been a couple of weeks, so it's been a

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks. Tell me why I'm trying to go

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 3>to sleep the upstairs neighbors bashing around using power tools?

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 3>What the hell? Next minute? It's six am. Next day.

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I usually hear the birds chrap in a tree lined

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 3>type of area, and I'm saying, I'm hearing construction at

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 3>six am in New South Wales, and I'm at that

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 3>stage where you're half asleep, half awake. The vibe is

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 3>already ruined, like I'm not going to be going back

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 3>to so sorry, and I need my sleep. I'm hearing

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 3>this and I'm thinking, I know it's I know it's

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 3>too early, but.

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 1>What do I do and what can you do? Well?

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 3>It turns out there's a law against this. According to

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 3>New Southell's law, noise from power tools and equipment, including

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 3>electrical and battery operated tools, that can be heard in

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 3>any habitable rooms of his neighboring residents must seize during

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 3>the hours of eight pm to eight am on Sundays

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.319
<v Speaker 3>and eight pm to seven am on weekdays and Saturdays.

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.839
<v Speaker 3>So I'm hearing a little power to six thirty am,

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 3>even six fifty five am. It's completely illegal.

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>So how do you escalate it?

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Though?

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 3>You go to the New South Wales government, But in.

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Real time, I'd be taking a little video.

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I wouldn't.

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't. Yeah, what can you really if it's happening

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I think if it's.

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Happening consistently, then you go straight to the sauce and.

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 1>I say, hey, trades downstairs, Yeah, they just work there.

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you know what you do.

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's you're shoes. Don't don't try and harass our tradees.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Go look on the building. There should be a little

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 3>like eat like there should be a number for the

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 3>site manager. You go to the site manager. You don't

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 3>go straight to the people doing the job.

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the construction noise is just one layer

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 1>of irritation and then you add four more layers trying

0:10:58.240 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to fix it on your own.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Got to go to Scottie cam.

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I stayed in a hotel in the city the other

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>day and the there was construction outside and I was like,

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>is this not illegal? So so vibe welcome. But then

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess because the city is is it commercially coded?

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:13.719
<v Speaker 3>Nah, they're still give it.

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know because this was construction literally from six

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>pm to three am night.

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 5>I live next to a train line and the train

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 5>line does construction at like five.

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Am, babe. But it was like, when else are they

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:30.319
<v Speaker 1>going to do it?

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 5>But it's like the train line is the government?

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, inside job, job, this is the thing.

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Guys.

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Also neighbors keeping massive lights on. That's what we did

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 3>at Splendor. We were staying next to each other and you,

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 3>how do you outside lights on shining into my bedroom?

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have them on. We just checked in for

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the day and it was on. And I get a

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>text from through me at eleven pm. Can you turn

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 1>off your light? I'm thinking which light is it?

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 3>And you did it in ease?

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, immediately, immediately. I can take direction.

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 3>Often we're coming to the table with a would you

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 3>rather steeped in moral issues in concern and things that

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 3>really have my brain freaking out guys, so I thought,

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 3>let's yeah, how good is that flex' Just seeing a

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.719
<v Speaker 3>meme that put on my straight So I thought I

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 3>come to the table with something a bit more based

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 3>in the fantasy, because as much as we like to

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 3>talk about serious issues, it's also important to bring some fun.

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Because what if, like I prefer the fake world if

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 3>not a massive fantasy. Okay, so what fantasy thing would

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 3>you like to be real? FLEXI? I'm gonna give you

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:31.800

<v Speaker 1>Oh great, there's.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 3>One, two, three, four, five options. Everybody playing along at home,

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 3>put your thinking cap on. H if you could choose

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 3>one of these fantasy things to be real and justify it,

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 3>which would you be? Which would you rather? Number one?

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Ghosts to see monsters aka locknest moment? Yeah, big dogs, demons,

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 3>aliens and they mean like the actual ones that are cute,

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 3>like the green ones, not like a microbe, bigfoot or

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 3>wear wolves. Can I guess what you're say.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Ghosts? No, I might say demons.

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Really yeah, this is very unlike you. In my mind,

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 3>I just want.

<v Speaker 1>To see how different they are from us. Imagine if when,

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>like you know, you introduce the demons into the world's

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>escape and everyone's like, I couldn't even tell, And it's.
