Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 1: Back on the podcast Bandwagon FLEXI I made, not the bandwagon.
Speaker 2: I made a meme.
Speaker 1: It's called Melbournion in Sydney for the weekend starter pack
Speaker 1: I want oh ye, okay, tell me what you see?
Speaker 3: Bell bottoms? Is that Lulu Lemons? Lulu Lemon bell bottom tights.
Speaker 3: I can't stop thinking about Toddy's bread broadsheet review that Okay,
Speaker 3: forty four tied eye flower hat, No mikey a sunburn?
Speaker 3: Where is sorry hills with an eat? And Bondi Beach?
Speaker 2: Is this true?
Speaker 1: It's not Bondi Beach. That is Clovelly.
Speaker 3: We got to make it clearer, okay, Yeah, maybe like
Speaker 3: a pin, Yeah, a pin with like cloverally on the
Speaker 3: map like zoom in because like that's really hard to see.
Speaker 2: It's not really legible. But I love where this is going.
Speaker 1: Otherwise pretty good.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll find out when I post it and see
Speaker 1: likes that gay guys, because I'm actually I've posted a
Speaker 1: newsletter about Melbourne people coming to Sydney like what they
Speaker 1: should do, okay, and they're legit tips from me because
Speaker 1: I like to give back to the community. You're a philanthropus,
Speaker 1: so farely putting a little in brackets there for the
Speaker 1: for those that are not up with the law.
Speaker 2: All right, here's the potty. This is flex and rooms.
Speaker 1: I'm Kaita. Listen. It's important sometimes to shoot your shot.
Speaker 1: That is our vibe here at Kita. However, some of
Speaker 1: you have got it twisted and you think that it's
Speaker 1: well within your remit to DM slide a celebrity. I
Speaker 1: was on TikTok.
Speaker 2: That's not appropriate.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't do it. Oh, but I do
Speaker 1: appreciate the drama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, live a little.
Speaker 1: I watched a TikTok where this woman explained potentially quite
Speaker 1: a fantastic way to slide into a celebrity stamp gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Step one, you find your famous guy.
Speaker 4: You take a look at who he's following, and you
Speaker 4: find some regular.
Speaker 1: Dudes that he's following.
Speaker 4: That he knows, maybe he works with them, or maybe
Speaker 4: they're I gets childhood friends.
Speaker 2: You follow some of.
Speaker 4: These regular guys and hopefully you get one to follow
Speaker 4: you back, so then you have a mutual. Once you
Speaker 4: land a mutual, you got to make sure you have
Speaker 4: some live stories. In a perfect world, the stories should
Speaker 4: be of you and your hot think tank friends, and
Speaker 4: you should be in the same city as the famous guy.
Speaker 1: So that's stuff one. Oh, but lockdown that.
Speaker 2: Feels like sixteen steps in one.
Speaker 1: Step two is a little more ambitious.
Speaker 4: You dm something along the lines of, if you're looking
Speaker 4: for a good time, I'm here with my friends.
Speaker 1: We would love to link and drop the number.
Speaker 3: I don't like if you're looking for a good time
Speaker 3: because soliciting, I don't know if we should be doing that.
Speaker 3: I would hit them with a are you out tonight?
Speaker 3: Send a picture of you and the friend in and
Speaker 3: a monkst an outside environment, and then let link.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, why I think with a celebrity
Speaker 1: you can't be forward. You have to create a vibe,
Speaker 1: catch their eye and then put the rest up to history.
Speaker 3: How many hours you got on a day though? What
Speaker 3: we were catching a vibe with Jonah Hill. A couple
Speaker 3: of days ago, I found myself walking down Smith Street
Speaker 3: in Melbourne. If you're not familiar with it's you know,
Speaker 3: it's an up and comer. It's a niche up and comer.
Speaker 3: It was walking past and I could hear this incessant
Speaker 3: beeping of a horn, and there was no traffic on
Speaker 3: the street, no trams, so I couldn't figure o where
Speaker 3: it was coming from. I ended up walking past this
Speaker 3: white van and there's this kid, no or older than
Speaker 3: like six or seven, in the front seat of a
Speaker 3: white van beeping the horn, beep, beep. I can't tell
Speaker 3: if the kid's distressed or not, because the way it's beeping,
Speaker 3: you think it's freaking out. I stop where I am.
Speaker 3: I look around. I can't see a parent. I can't
Speaker 3: see I was also with a friend and it maybe
Speaker 3: was about fifteen seconds of us being like, what are
Speaker 3: we gonna do?
Speaker 2: Do we protect this kid?
Speaker 3: Do we open the car? Is it that deep? Should
Speaker 3: we just wait and see what happened? And it was
Speaker 3: one of the very few times I can recall being
Speaker 3: face to face with the Biseren effect and being like,
Speaker 3: I'm not moving quick enough and we're in danger. The
Speaker 3: Bystenter effect is this idea that when something is happening,
Speaker 3: something dangerous or something where it requires someone to step in,
Speaker 3: we all stand around assuming somebody else will do it.
Speaker 3: And in that situation, I'm like, I don't even know
Speaker 3: what to do, but I'm willing.
Speaker 2: By the time I.
Speaker 3: Figured out I should probably go and like knock on
Speaker 3: the window and scare this child to death. A woman
Speaker 3: did come out of a chip shop maybe five shops away,
Speaker 3: was like, stop stop pressing the button, babe, stop pressing. No,
Speaker 3: enough enough, So clearly she was getting them like a
Speaker 3: bit of dinner. But I'm like, why don't just bring
Speaker 3: the kid? Yeah, you're parked in a place where you
Speaker 3: can park. It was two p okay, just take the
Speaker 3: kid out. It's beeping, it's unset. All the windows were up,
Speaker 3: mind you, the car was not on. And then she's
Speaker 3: looking at us like we were being weird looking at her. Funny,
Speaker 3: Let's say you're in a similar situation. You saw what
Speaker 3: I saw. You couldn't see a parent. What would you
Speaker 3: have done?
Speaker 1: I would have let the kid be like, let the
Speaker 1: kid be the kid, let it beep all beat the
Speaker 1: boots down.
Speaker 2: We can't leave kids in cars.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like my parents kept me in the
Speaker 1: car when mama's job.
Speaker 2: This is illegal activity.
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is as someone who likes to break
Speaker 3: a rule, Yes, because I have issues with authority every
Speaker 3: now and then, it's nice to push it and see
Speaker 3: you know which will can I break today? But in
Speaker 3: some instances the rules exist for a reason, and I
Speaker 3: don't want to fear monger. But it had something had
Speaker 3: gone wrong that parent would have felt so dumb, I
Speaker 3: didn't like them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, now I understand.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you. We got there eventually. Love life with
Speaker 2: Flex and frooms on Kada.
Speaker 1: We love it when you, our dear listener, send us
Speaker 1: in some content, always positive and always a bit crazy,
Speaker 1: spooky and quirky. We love this kind of stuff. And
Speaker 1: a man called Harrison messaged our producer Mikayla and said
Speaker 1: that he thought that he may be flirted too hard
Speaker 1: with someone. Naturally, this piqued my interest because I do
Speaker 1: believe you can float too hard. I'm more of a
Speaker 1: subtle kind of girly. So apparently this person that he
Speaker 1: was interested in in their bio had bio. Their insta
Speaker 1: bio was like looking for a sugar baby. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they were being serious or not, but this
Speaker 1: person has gone ahead and sent them an email.
Speaker 3: And we actually have a copy of this email. It
Speaker 3: is a proper CV formatted and everything with a.
Speaker 1: Cover letter and then the experience. Let's start with the
Speaker 1: cover letter Okay, and I will be tailoring this for
Speaker 1: audio broadcast because we are beholden to the rules and
Speaker 1: regulations of the Australian Broadcasting Act.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 1: I'm a very social and charismatic person, making a night
Speaker 1: out great, but my drive and desire to please makes
Speaker 1: a night in even better. Well. I am an exhibiting artist,
Speaker 1: so I can pay you on like one of my
Speaker 1: French girls and afterwards bleep you leaps. In terms of
Speaker 1: hourly commitment, I'm a night hour by nature, so I
Speaker 1: have no problems working late. But just like myself, my
Speaker 1: hours are flexible, cheap as creepers. My skills and work
Speaker 1: experience can be seen in my TV which I've attached below.
Speaker 1: I want to speak to you about more things of
Speaker 1: this position. I look forward to hearing from your sexy regards.
Speaker 2: Harrison off the Dome, How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't that R rated.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that R rated? But it was also was it solicited?
Speaker 3: It would be funny if you were dating someone They're like,
Speaker 3: I'm going to send you a CV. This is a gag,
Speaker 3: but this is a this is.
Speaker 2: A cold email.
Speaker 1: It is a cold email.
Speaker 2: Let's continue with the CV.
Speaker 3: In this CV, we have a full name and a
Speaker 3: full address. This person was not joking. Harrison was really
Speaker 3: about that life. Yeah, Dan, all right, So skills, strong
Speaker 3: customer service experience and services in italics it satisfaction guaranteed,
Speaker 3: problem solving ensures all that is underlined, and again I
Speaker 3: italicized needs admit. Bilingual current exhibiting visual artists can worship
Speaker 3: your body by drawing a life sized portrait in its honor.
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They hold a current Victoria's driver's license.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good. They've got their RSA two in hospitality
Speaker 3: and kitchen operations. They know the perfect wine and die combo,
Speaker 3: and a few are rated references. I would say ten
Speaker 3: points for effort and consistency, because even though I wouldn't
Speaker 3: want to receive this kind of approach, this is an
Speaker 3: unmistaken proposition. It is as opposed to a lukewarm where
Speaker 3: someone just orbits around you long enough and sends you
Speaker 3: a heart on your Instagram and assumes that'll be enough
Speaker 3: for you to know that they want your hand in marriage.
Speaker 1: Bring that back, bring back being subtle.
Speaker 2: I think no, I think we're past that.
Speaker 3: I think people need to learn how to be forward
Speaker 3: in a consensual and not creepy way.
Speaker 2: Little of you have that down, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Play the tapes, Solese, Mikayla and by play the tapes.
Speaker 2: Please explain analogue?
Speaker 1: So I asked Harrison.
Speaker 2: I said, I need to know did it work? And
Speaker 2: Harrison confirmed to me that they have secured.
Speaker 1: A date back secured and I've been told I'll get
Speaker 1: an update on said date.
Speaker 3: This is a positive story. It reminds me of a situation.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you really quickly please? Was at a
Speaker 3: party one day with my best friend and we do
Speaker 3: what we do best, which is dress up, go to
Speaker 3: a party and talk.
Speaker 2: To each other in the corner.
Speaker 3: Actually, but this one was really incredible because where we
Speaker 3: were positioned, people get coming up to us and asking
Speaker 3: us for advice and questions. And there was this one
Speaker 3: girl who was trying to tune this guy at this party.
Speaker 3: But he just come out of a relationship and we
Speaker 3: kind of knew him to be a bit of just
Speaker 3: like not a forward guy. We knew he was never
Speaker 3: going to approach her at this party and that any
Speaker 3: kind of progress that was going to be made was
Speaker 3: going to be on her terms. And she was definitely
Speaker 3: like an going charismatic character as well, so not really
Speaker 3: out of.
Speaker 2: The rubber possibility.
Speaker 3: So the whole party, she's kind of waiting for him
Speaker 3: to acknowledge her, and when he comes over to say hello,
Speaker 3: he gives me the biggest hug, which is out of
Speaker 3: character for him. He's like a quiet guy, biggest hug
Speaker 3: for me, cheek kiss for my best friend, and kind
Speaker 3: of pats this girl on the shoulder. She's kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 3: maybe he's trying to get me off his scent and
Speaker 3: like not laid on too thick.
Speaker 2: I mean, as I didn't really read it that way,
Speaker 2: but you know, go for it.
Speaker 3: My best friend I were feeling meddling, so we were like,
Speaker 3: you know what, you're not gonna know because he's not
Speaker 3: the kind of guy who's going to really like set
Speaker 3: up the shot so you can take it. So you're
Speaker 3: just gonna have to like set up your own shot
Speaker 3: and take your own shot. For about three hours, she's
Speaker 3: like deliberating should I go up, what should I say?
Speaker 3: We've already had a drink together before. I don't know
Speaker 3: why he's acting this way. So basically she's facing us
Speaker 3: and we're facing the rest of the party. We notice
Speaker 3: that he's leaving with one of his friends. We say,
Speaker 3: he's heading out, babe, what Hey're gonna do. She's like, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to the kitchen, which is it's like
Speaker 3: an open plan dining and pretend to fill up my
Speaker 3: bottle so I can overhear what their plans are and
Speaker 3: then kind of slide in for the kill. So she
Speaker 3: walks up to the kitchen to fill up her bottle.
Speaker 3: She goes in and she starts talking, and he's like,
Speaker 3: not really that enthused. We're like, okay, whatever. My best
Speaker 3: friend kind of looks away. She's like got secondhand embarrassment,
Speaker 3: and I stay watching. Somehow she manages to kiss him.
Speaker 2: Huh stop it.
Speaker 3: It happened so quickly, I said, we went from being
Speaker 3: ignored to their exchanging fluids in real time.
Speaker 2: She circles back, she's buzzing. I'm like, what happened. She's like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, I just had to make.
Speaker 3: It do what it does. I said, but what does
Speaker 3: that entail? I watched it happen and everything was telling
Speaker 3: me it was not a go, and she made it happen.
Speaker 3: So I say this all to say what we might
Speaker 3: observe to be cringey behavior or just like in the
Speaker 3: rum of impossibility, with the right circumstance and the right
Speaker 3: forwardness consensual, of course, it can really result in a
Speaker 3: full blown three year relationship.
Speaker 2: Can I get a who rah rah, who bloody rah
Speaker 2: and frims?
Speaker 1: I'm kedas I'm a big fan of newsletters. I have
Speaker 1: a newsletter. It's called Froom's World.
Speaker 2: Very good do I post every week? I've dropped off
Speaker 2: a little KOs okay every week is excessive.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite newsletters that I subscribe to is
Speaker 1: Hailey Nrman. She's Had to Manella ex Man Repeller, the
Speaker 1: Girlies that Get It get Out. She has a newsletter
Speaker 1: called Maybe Baby, and she's just so good at talking
Speaker 1: about things that we've semi thought about ourselves, but then
Speaker 1: fleshing them out almost to a point that's like so
Speaker 1: analytical and so like Granula.
Speaker 2: What are the things?
Speaker 1: That she wrote one the other day, which is about
Speaker 1: how she takes photos of everything and she realized, oh,
Speaker 1: like why am I taking photos everything? Because she had
Speaker 1: an incident where she lost all of her photos from
Speaker 1: twenty ten to twenty fifteen. We all have we all
Speaker 1: have a period okay, back when the iCloud was not eating,
Speaker 1: and then she likened it to the eighty fourth problem.
Speaker 1: It's a Buddhist proverb. So that idea is that you
Speaker 1: have eighty three problems, and then the eighty three.
Speaker 2: You would beg to differ.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, anyway, let's let Haley read it out.
Speaker 1: There is an old Buddhist proverb about this, that all
Speaker 1: of us have eighty four problems and that the only
Speaker 1: way to resolve them is by addressing the eighty fourth,
Speaker 1: which is our desire to have no problems at all.
Speaker 1: Modern life is constantly selling us novel solutions but fails
Speaker 1: to ask which problems are actually worth solving or possible
Speaker 1: to solve it all.
Speaker 3: So I love that is our desire to have no
Speaker 3: problems at all, because don't we also love suffering. It
Speaker 3: validates us, gives us like meaning. I overcame, therefore I
Speaker 3: am good.
Speaker 1: I don't think I like that. I like to have
Speaker 1: my to do list ticked off, but I guess I
Speaker 1: write it to do list so I can tick it off.
Speaker 3: M you've given yourself the problem of having any responsibility
Speaker 3: just to relieve yourself of the responsibility.
Speaker 1: I think for me, it's important to realize that there
Speaker 1: will be problems that you straight up cannot fix. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it can be difficult to understand when you like
Speaker 1: controlling things, but to resign and to give away the
Speaker 1: notion that you can fix everything and suffering of some extent.
Speaker 1: So thank you, Haley, always piquing my interest and making
Speaker 1: the brain click over despite how difficult I find it.
