Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch Up podcast. Welcome back to the Flexi
Speaker 1: and Frumiani radio show. We are here at Kaita and
Speaker 1: it's not often that we have a guest on the show.
Speaker 1: I preface this every time we have a guessing, but
Speaker 1: it really is a rare occasion. I'd say once a week, Brookie.
Speaker 2: Would you say no? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 3: About once a week?
Speaker 1: Yea, once a week. We get some internationals in a
Speaker 1: few phone calls. We have a very very exciting guest.
Speaker 1: Her name is Becca Hatch Round of a Posse, Round of.
Speaker 3: Poss click click, click.
Speaker 1: Click click. She's a singer songwriter and her tracks actually
Speaker 1: frequent quite a bit on KA, So if you're listening,
Speaker 1: that's a little bonus.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: You play the Sims and Becker. You did something very
Speaker 1: very exciting lately that has struck fear and excitement into
Speaker 1: our hearts, and that is you created a track in simlish.
Speaker 3: Yes, why feel.
Speaker 2: Let's start there? Why are you?
Speaker 1: I don't know, just say sometimes I just like the
Speaker 1: track was going. I get nervous when we have guests. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a person you're about intimidating.
Speaker 2: For those of you who are proficient gamers and don't game,
Speaker 2: you might be like, what's the SIMS. The SIMS is
Speaker 2: a simulation game started by EA Games like a bajillion
Speaker 2: years ago twenty And in this game, you create a
Speaker 2: person and you live out their life. You go to work,
Speaker 2: you have children, you build up your hobbies, you learn
Speaker 2: a vocation. It's very exciting and it's of those who
Speaker 2: play it, I think you can't be a casual SIMS player.
Speaker 2: You're obsessive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like obsessed with it for like a four
Speaker 3: month straight, Yes, and then you don't visit the game again,
Speaker 3: which then you like, see come back again, and it's
Speaker 3: like you don't want to do anything but play them exactly.
Speaker 1: It's like a fourteen hour stint. I used to play it.
Speaker 1: Drink apple juice and honey, soy chicken, red rock, Delli chips,
Speaker 1: just sit down, no other stimuli, pure SIMS.
Speaker 2: And so in the SIMS, you might be thinking, what
Speaker 2: language do the characters that you create? Speed English? No Similish,
Speaker 2: which is a mix.
Speaker 1: Of Filipino, Irish and Romanian is a mix of the words.
Speaker 1: But I don't think any of them real words. Maybe
Speaker 1: they're kind of like pig Latin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it is like pig Latin, but
Speaker 3: it feels like it doesn't have like a proper like
Speaker 3: structure because I feel like pig laden you like us.
Speaker 2: Not fluent and similar. It feels like it doesn't actually
Speaker 2: make sense. There's no structure this whole language.
Speaker 3: Are you, like, I don't know, like pig laden, like
Speaker 3: you know, you can figure out how to say the word,
Speaker 3: like I feel like SIMS is just some of the
Speaker 3: words just feels so random.
Speaker 2: So how does one go from having their songs on
Speaker 2: heavy rotation of cater to making a song in Simlish
Speaker 2: to be published on the SIMS.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Like for me, I don't know,
Speaker 3: like SIMS is like top tier for me, Like as
Speaker 3: an artist, I was like, I don't know if anyone
Speaker 3: asked me, like I don't yeah, yeah literally, I was like,
Speaker 3: I want my song in a same as game, Like
Speaker 3: I want to do that, and then now I feel
Speaker 3: like I've done it, so I'm like, can I retire now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately. So do they write the lyrics for you and
Speaker 2: then you just sing the new lyrics? Do they translate
Speaker 2: it in Yeah.
Speaker 3: They translated, which is like yeah, insane, And I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure they have like someone who has like proof like
Speaker 3: check it and stuff. Sometimes they have to do like
Speaker 3: reference tracks for like artists to make sure that they're
Speaker 3: like pronouncing the words.
Speaker 1: Probably wow, that really good job? Is this?
Speaker 3: Because I want to have this job?
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, do you remember some key words? Now?
Speaker 2: Could you remember the translation if you tried?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I'm like a veteran now like
Speaker 3: I've checked it too many, I'm a linguists.
Speaker 1: Can you give us just like align You don't have
Speaker 1: to sing it, but just say.
Speaker 3: It worldly obed ni o before with the vore aestuicely Timberley,
Speaker 3: we shoulduce okay so I can work? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 2: She said? And that is that.
Speaker 1: This is amazing? And do you think you'll have a
Speaker 1: perform at live because we're gonna play it up next,
Speaker 1: but I need to know will you do a live version?
Speaker 3: I definitely feel like I will, just for like lolls.
Speaker 3: I don't know, like I feel like I might do
Speaker 3: a remix. I feel like that would be really funny,
Speaker 3: like finish a song and be like you thought it
Speaker 3: was over and just goes into the full Sims version.
Speaker 2: I feel it's so odd because you are one of
Speaker 2: very few people who can say this is something that
Speaker 2: they've got in their resume. Like not even Beyonce, it
Speaker 2: can say this.
Speaker 1: Did she want?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: She could have handled it? She could have handled it.
Speaker 2: It's the next tier. It's like I feel as though,
Speaker 2: you know, there are some artists who will make a
Speaker 2: song in Spanish to break into like the LATINX community,
Speaker 2: world wide reach, whatever, but writing a something Similish opens
Speaker 2: you up to a whole pool of obsessive fans. It's
Speaker 2: not a casual fanto. I'm like, this is next level.
Speaker 3: That's so true, Like anyone you Sims are like really
Speaker 3: really into.
Speaker 1: One of the same. I also think it changes the
Speaker 1: way that you operate in life, Like I started playing
Speaker 1: Simpson as a teenager, so it kind of opened me
Speaker 1: up to how to flirt, how to create relationships myself obviously,
Speaker 1: just be.
Speaker 2: Repetitive and relentless, don't take no for an answer if
Speaker 2: they don't like you flirting.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well, I hope that you play the
Speaker 1: song live. You have actually just been announced as the
Speaker 1: artist playing a headline show at the Sydney Opera House
Speaker 1: for Vivid Sydney. Have you ever been to the Opera
Speaker 1: House for a show? Some people haven't.
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 2: No, okay, cool, Like.
Speaker 1: Do you know what to kind of like expect.
Speaker 3: I seriously don't know what to expect with the show,
Speaker 3: Like I've never been in this specific room, like it's
Speaker 3: I think it's called the Utzon Room or something, but
Speaker 3: more similar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 3: Like I feel like it's gonna be really sick because
Speaker 3: there's like no support, so it should just be like
Speaker 3: my little crowd of people coming through. So yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm like really nervous so that show, to
Speaker 3: be honest, like it's been on the back of my
Speaker 3: mind and I'm just like, you need to get it together.
Speaker 3: I needed to get it together. But it's gotta be good.
Speaker 1: I know the feeling. I'm very excited for you.
