I. 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.680 Like most people watch a lot of TV. No, I 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.479 wouldn't say I watch it every day, but if I'm 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.080 going too, I'm going to binge the whole season. And 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.600 a couple of weeks ago, we had an interview with 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.720 Kitlyn Stacey, who is one of the leads in the 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.720 new Amazon Prime show Class Verse seven. And if the 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.600 interview is amazing, you can listen to it on Flex 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.920 and Rooms. The podcast maybe get good wherever you get 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.640 good podcasts, but we did that interview. I watched episode, 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.240 I went back to watch the whole season, and if 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.280 you're not across it, it's about The synopsis on Google 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.840 says a title wave hits as a group of women 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.440 celebrate their ten year reunion from an all girls' school. 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.000 The former students must find a way to survive on 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.680 the island tip of their high school campus. So what 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.240 that sounds like is I don't know, Lost or World 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.440 WARZ or the Walking Dead. But it's so much more 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.560 than that, because as you begin to watch this show, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.959 you realize that the apocalypse is second to the interpersonal 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.480 drama that happens when you don't process anything from being 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:38.440 an adolescent. And when I was watching the show, I 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.280 was really prepared for them to show us their survival 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.280 skills and you know, how are they going to cook? 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.800 And how are they going to shower? And you know, 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.239 how are they going to what happens when they're on 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.080 the period? And that was so secondary to the fact 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:57.240 that watching these relationships that had essentially been dormant for 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.880 ten years be re juvenated, and not in a way 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.840 that was adult or mature or progressive. They'd all regressed 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.560 into their adolescent selves because none of them had gotten 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.200 over the trauma they experienced in high school, and they 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.720 were all under the impression that time and time alone 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.880 would would be enough to make it better. And so 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.919 imagine you're in the literal apocalypse. The whole world has flooded. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.320 Right from what you can understand, You're on the top 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.720 of the hill. The whole world has flooded. It's just 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.520 you and these ten other girls, and you don't want 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.800 to eat dinner with another girl because in high school. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:30.080 She bullied you. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.800 And it's like you're currently experiencing a life or death scenario, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.280 and yet the trauma of what you experienced in your 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.600 most formative years is taking precedent. I couldn't deal And 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.840 it reminded me of this interview I was watching with 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:48.160 this I would say, he's a philosopher, doctor Gabor Marte, 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.400 and he was talking a lot. He talks a lot 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.120 about healing and the myth of healing and how a 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.120 lot of us think that time is what's going to 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.640 heal us from friendship breakups and you know, romantic breakups 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.440 or hence relationships with our parents, or really embarrassing things 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.880 that we've been through, we're just waiting to get over it. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.880 And what ends up happening is that we don't actually 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:08.400 get over it. 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.480 We just shift our focus, or we suppress, or we repress, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.400 or we tell ourselves stories to make us more comfortable 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.520 with what we've experienced. And he says time gives you 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.960 the time and space required to heal. You know, the 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.320 more time you give yourself to get over something, the 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.760 more likely is you actually get over it. And this 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.400 idea that if you just repress it you'll feel better, 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.359 what ends up happening is that you reach a boiling 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.560 point where you're no longer in control of how it 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.320 affects you, and now you become destabilized in a very 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.000 vulnerable place and with no discernible tools to get out 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.039 of it. So it's a big wake up call because 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.720 I know a lot of us go through stuff that 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.240 we feel like we don't have the room to talk 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.080 about because it happened when we were young, or it 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.279 was just like not a big deal, or everyone we 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.200 talk to about it makes us feel like it's not important. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.440 But if you feel like something's bothering you, you have 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.920 a personal responsibility to your to fix it, because like 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.680 it's you and you and your brain and your body 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.400 that has to deal with it, nobody else. And often 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.800 people don't want you to confront your own stuff because 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.599 in some way it impacts the people around you. Like 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.120 if I've got to hold my friend from ten years 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.920 accountable for a conversation that we have, that ruins their day. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.480 They don't want to deal with that. If I have to. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.479 Go back and tell uh and it, like tell a 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.000 staff member that they made me feel uncomfortable, will that 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:29.680 ruins their day? 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.359 They don't want to deal with that. But do you 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:32.200 have to deal with it alone? 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:32.400 No? 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:33.640 So what do you do? 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.719 Go to therapy, pape? I don't know, learn how to 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:38.359 think for yourself? 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.840 That's number one the question, Like I think the big 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.320 thing when it comes to to what do you do 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.320 ask yourself? I think that people externalize personal issues way 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.640 too much, and the Internet made everyone too comfortable with that. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.719 Some things you need to figure out on your own, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.719 because what happens is when you seek advice from other people, 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.800 you end up creating a storyline that or you end 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.600 up creating a lifestyle where you can own only grow 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.920 as a person if somebody else feeds into you and 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.839 sometimes you gotta wa water yourself, you know, otherwise you'll 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.680 be barren great which it's difficult to do. You know 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.560 what's difficult to do winged liner. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.600 And yet I'm doing it with these period with flex. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:20.039 And firmes Flex and firms Flex and fromes cater never 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:20.799 miss a beat. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.200 Here on the Flex and Froome show, We're party do 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.320 without what you will? Are we going to clubs? Are 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.279 we going to restaurants? Are we going to parties? It's 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.480 for us to know and for you to decide. Hopefully 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.200 we give off the impression that we're a good time. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.640 Would you agree, Hopefully I just see a certain event, 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.839 like on our phone in the corner, turning the age 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.960 that I am now redacted. I think a lot of 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.159 people that I know have been going through a second 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.120 wind of partying. So obviously, when you're eighteen, you start 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.640 going out to the clubs, you start popping it. Then 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.080 you go through a retractive period, refractory period. If we're 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.960 going to take it there, I would say twenty four 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.520 to twenty six. You're just like cooling the jets a 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.360 little bit, getting into what it's like to be an 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.680 adult with a fully functioning wage et cetera. Then you 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.040 hear twenty seven, twenty seven and a half twenty eight, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:11.760 and what happens. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.600 The party goblin re. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:19.400 Emerges, the demon, extra zest and pizzazz. Funny things happen, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.240 and it turns out I'm not the only one who 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.480 has observed this phenomenon. This is a tea took from 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.360 at Underscore Underscore mull. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.200 No one talks about that second wave of your party 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.760 era that happens in like your mid to late twenties, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.040 like you will put your twenty one twenty two year 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.760 old self to absolute shame. It's like, as a unit, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.840 we all collectively just start pregaming our thirties, Like you 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.080 learn your limits. You have more money to spend while 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.960 going out. It makes it way more dangerous. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.560 I see the vision here, and I feel like for 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:47.960 a lot. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.200 Of people, going out for all hours feels extra exciting 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.640 because you're like, I'm old for this.

I 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.280 did a viral video as an intern, and then that 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.080 video was picked up by my favorite publication and I 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.280 went for a job. There was above my pay grade, 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.679 I would say, and above my skill set. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.680 Don't give that away. At the time, I was twenty. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:09.760 Okay, okay, give it that away. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.679 Yeah yeah, But I took it and I stayed there 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.000 for four and a half years, and I became a 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.280 presenter and a producer. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.080 I learned how to cut videos. One would say, the 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.679 face of it was bandied about. I was in the 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.040 show real I did present. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.280 The show reel of the company before a sensational excerpt, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.240 but always with class intact as. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:33.960 Per naturally and pre viral video. What was the career path? 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:34.640 What have we done? 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:42.320 It's giving university? I studied communication, okay, naturally, any comment 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.280 on that? And yes, so I what kind of jobs 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:50.560 do you have at Uni? I worked at Lulu Lemon 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.040 as the what was the term? It was like not 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.000 egot but something of that, Oh dofie. So you'd stand 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.520 at the front of the store and they'd call you 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.160 the dofie, which I'm legal, and they would call. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.520 You director of first Impressions. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.480 I know, I know, I know, I'm hooked. So I 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.640 was the Dophie for quite a few years at Lulu Lemon, 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.680 and that helped hone my people's skills, which you see 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.920 on camera here in the set. And I also worked 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.480 in a cayyard. As we speak about a lot. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:27.360 It's not an interview, though you got the job, I 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:31.960 actually worked as the dophie, so the director of first impression. 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.160 It's not good like. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.840 That's definitely why I went through my CEO stint. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.920 Obviously, the term dophie was a big inspiration for me, 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.880 both comedy wise and also as a real person. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:44.640 Sounds empowering. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.040 Can I ask you if there are any common misconceptions 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.600 about your success. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.679 Do people ever think you're an neppo baby? 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.400 No. I think any assumption that you make about what 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.920 I was given is probably correct form being perfectly honest, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:57.280 and that's fine. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.199 It doesn't seem fine for me. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:01.440 Quite tech. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.559 ME just haven't really hinda on the fact that I 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.280 worked in Kaya for six months. 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.840 I had. I did my bit. You don't understand. I 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.800 was in there at my dad's place of work. But 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.319 I had to work hard. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.679 For that job, and I wasn't very good at it. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.880 But I showed up every other day. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.760 Three sales in six months, which is that surely a 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.119 record because selling cartent is difficult. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.360 I wouldn't know, because when I was upsold cartin they 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.840 made me feel so special and so empowered. I was like, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.480 I need to pay the extra three point two k 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:35.360 for what? 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.200 And I gotta say, Diddley squat my girl. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.080 But what about you? 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.720 What are the common misconceptions of your rise to fame 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:43.240 and success? 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:43.960 Flex mummy. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:50.040 I just think that people similar to my predecessors Beyonce, Rihana, 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.800 those in the lane, people just think it happened quickly 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.840 and it's been ten years. It's a long time to 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.600 do anything. I wasn't planning to work ten years of 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.920 my whole life. You see your parents and they work 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.600 for thirty years, like get a hobby, babe, get off that, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.440 but yourself and they're still doing it. They're still in 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.000 the office. I would say, yeah, people thought it happened overnight. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.760 And I would say, I have a lot of different 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.559 job titles. We can rattle them off. 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.200 We don't need to, shall I try? Award winning author, 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.200 best selling the best selling author, award winning podcaster. Yeah, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:27.840 multiple podcasts, both made personally and then paid for. Radio 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:34.880 host designer, Yeah, made very successful card games, multiple things, sold, 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:35.800 your own a factory. 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.079 You have employees. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.000 That's probably the most impressive thing that I think people 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:40.400 don't realize is that you have a whole team. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.760 But the point is a lot of stuff has happened. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.600 And I would say the biggest misconception is that I'm 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.120 just an influencer, which I don't mind. But if I 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.760 didn't have to do the other stuff, I wouldn't have Yeah, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.480 I see, because I don't like to work hard. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.600 I just have a good work ethic. And that's on that. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:57.400 Can I get a who wrong? 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:57.800 Flix? 0:13:58.679 --> 0:13:59.080 Who wrong? 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.680 This flex and frooms I'm kater. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.360 Believe it or not, there happens to be a climate 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.240 emergency occurring on the Earth. I know what you're thinking. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.680 I want to bury my head in the sand. Unfortunately 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.400 some of us don't have that option. Take your mind 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.000 back now to when the climate activists will really poppin'. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.080 They were throwing soup at works of art, they were 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.040 painting over works of art, they were chaining themselves to trees. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.760 My personal favorite story was the woman who stopped traffic 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.480 on Sydney Harborbridge. What an iconic moment. Some would say 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.400 it was dangerous, others would say it's warranted. But I 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.080 think she did what every protester wants to do, which 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.080 is to make noise and make a statement. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:38.240 What happened to her. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.640 Her name is Diana Violet Coco, and she was sent 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.040 to prison for a minimum of eight months after pleading 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:50.160 guilty to seven charges, which include authorized explosive not as prescribed, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.720 possessing a bright light distress signal in a public place, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.800 and interfering with the safe operation of a bridge. So basically, 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.120 she just blocked a lane of traffic in the bridge 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.280 in protest of. 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.280 The climate emergency. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.440 Turns out that just recently, a few weeks ago, her 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:13.320 eight month imprisonment sentence has been overturned roundo a buse, 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.920 round of a bless This is a very exciting development. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.920 Someone actually DM me this. I think because I spoke 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.360 about her once on the show. I think it's exciting 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.600 that it's overturned for her because her heart was in 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.400 the right place. She was doing it for all of us, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.760 and she did what a lot of protesters want to do, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.280 which is make noise, so she made her point. I 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:30.960 would love to hear how she's going. I heard that 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.160 she broke down in court when this came about, obviously 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.920 from excitement of not having to go to jail. So 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.560 hopefully we see some changes. Literally not going to be 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.680 holding my breath, you could have some hope in this 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:43.560 sixth sad world. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.640 You've been listening to The Flex and Froom's daily podcast. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.520 For more, Tune Indicator on DAB or stream it on iHeartRadio.
