<v Speaker 1>It's Flex and Frooms on CATA Lucky for You his

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>podcast Miss You. We have some learning for you, a

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>bit of education. It's going to change your life for

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the better, I promise. Cats out on TikTok, it's about

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>k A t h E r o u T shared

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 1>this concept that's originally from Fugly Betty on Twitter I

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>instead of y. It's about vibe theory. This idea that

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>there are key roles that need to be filled in

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>any group dynamic crip to be maintained the vibe that

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>is now. There are about eight roles, so please listening.

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Ears open. We won't go over them more than once.

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>To begin. We've got the vibe curator. They're highly social

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and they connect all the members of the group hangout.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>They're about setting the right ambience, the right tone, the

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>right flow. It doesn't mean they the most popular, but

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>they're a key facilitator and often the gloom sure. The

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>vibe stabilizer, a quiet but integral role. They're kind of

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the work. They maintain the equilibrium and the balance. When

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>it's too rowdy, they calm it down when it's not

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>fun enough, they bring it up kind of like, what

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>was that analogy that Gwyneth Paltrow gave the other day,

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the temperature adjustment. Yes, yes, yes, we've got the vibe amplifier,

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the reliable entertainer, often highly intoxicated. We encourage responsible drinking

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>and the responsible service of alcohol. They initiate the desire

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to make the most out of every night a big one.

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's get near it. Very important. They often determine the

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>flow of the night. If they're done, usually we're all done,

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but if there are we're are next up. We have

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the vibe terrorist derogatory. They bring a sense of mayhem

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and vibe terrorists. Yes, they bring a sense of mayhem

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and dysfunction to the vibe through unusual social interactions. It

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>can help to spice things up or disrupt the energy.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>That friend who won't stop talking to that strange person.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Know that friend who doesn't know when to let the

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>mayhem dissipate. Okay, we've got the vibe miss on sing.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>They're not a central character of the evening, but they're

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>crucial to the hangout simply because they flesh out the numbers. Okay,

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:18.959
<v Speaker 1>sometimes a Vibe just needs bodies, just needs energetic bodies,

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:24.119
<v Speaker 1>lumps of tissue to just be around. Now, they happily participate.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>They're usually down for whatever, kind of like a non

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 1>event in the best way possible. A neutral participant. We've

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>got the vibe ornament. Generally the person that's there because

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 1>they're the most aesthetic or they got the most clout.

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>They're to be pretty or kind of like up the

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>stock of the hangout. You know, they make the hang

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>look good. Yeah, they know people. They're the plug. They'll

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>get you on the door, that kind of thing. Now,

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>they often don't contribute much, but they're kind of like

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>sparkly shiny people.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>They look good doing it.

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>They look good the vibe scapegoat. Now, when the Vibe

0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>terrorist takes things down a black hole, the Vibes escape

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>goes a person you blame because we don't really let

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the terrorists know that they are the terrorists. We've got

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.399
<v Speaker 1>the Vibe understudy. Last, but not least, they're an outsider

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to the usual social structure of the group. They're a

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>newbie or a visitor. They add some spice to the evening.

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>There may be auditioning for a recurring role they're professional floaters. Wow,

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>don't say too much at once, now, don't say too

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>much to one vibe. Do you think you are?

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I think this Actually, which vibe do I think you are?

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, go ahead, which vibe do you think I am?

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Well? We were together at a social engagement a few

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 3>weekends ago in Melbourne, in melbourn Sea and we were

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 3>in a group dynamics. So I guess yeah, go ahead,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 3>And are we going to base it on that or

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 3>based it on like general cumulative?

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I would say general cumulative. Now to me and the

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>way that I've observed through me fibe terrorist, No way,

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I would say through me is a curator or a stabilizer? Wow. Now,

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the reason I perceive you to be a curator is

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>because you are sure or to ensure that the invite

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>is passed on, that you're getting the right bodies in

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a room you're chatting or whatever. But the stabilizer, I

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>think that people might perceive for me to be not

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>one dimensional, but they only see one side of you.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>They don't see the work you're doing behind the scenes

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 1>to ensure everybody's being thought of, everyone's being considered, The

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>story is flowing nobody's getting left out for me often

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>likes to ensure that if you know there's bodies that

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>have like pulled away, she's bringing them in or hey,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>where's that person? They haven't really been thought of. That's

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>very important role.

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 2>That definitely didn't happen last weekend.

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>We went up to the toppers level when people break

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>out of the party to go to an upstairs room.

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.799
<v Speaker 1>It was accidental. We were being given a tour, that's true,

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and that tour once we got to the third floor,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>it had to stop briefly. But you did say, oh,

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>should we invite so and to up Then we'd have

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to go back downstairs to get them.

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:54.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean one of the one of the girls had

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 3>a broken legs, so yeah, she was cutting the stables

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 3>when we were okay. I would personally call myself a

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>that's a good summation. That's what I'd like to be.

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I would say that you are the vibe amplifier and

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 3>or the ornament.

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Thank you?

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Is that what you wanted to cure both of them?

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm the ornament, let's be rich. Or I would say

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.239
<v Speaker 1>the vibe understudy. So the reason why I would describe

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>myself as a vibe ornament is because I like to

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>do what I want to do in my own time

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and I only need one friend to do it with me.

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not really concerned in a group consensus of

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>you know where we should go next, or you know

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>what should we listen to. I'm down and I'll start

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>it myself. And so if I want to have a conversation,

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pull you aside and have it. I'm not

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>really concerned in making sure that everybody is on the

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>same page before we go and do something. And really,

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want to look good, feel good. I mean,

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 1>it's it's worth I just wanted here to do. But

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>get me on a on the right night and I'll

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>be a vibe amplifier. The vibes a like getting met.

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 1>But mostly if I'm not gonna be an ornament, I

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>just want to be an understudy. I want to float

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 1>into a dynamic, you know, get the lay of the land,

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>ask some questions, get the gossip, float out. Is flex

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 1>coming back to the next one? Yeah, yeah, she should

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>be there.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Probably not very mysterious that that style of being.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just don't want the pressure. So that's why

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite roles is professional plus one sa

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Flexi calib it is gully.

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll keep that in mind.

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Literally fru meno through me boo, mummy, lex Mom.

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 5>You're listening to Flex and Frooms. I'm kaita Flexi. I

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 5>am an emotional person. I would also put you in

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 5>the same category, given that we are humans and not

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 5>cyborgs yet. Yeah, the quantum computer is gearing up in Australia.

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Is that related to robots?

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, Ai Singularity.

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 3>I get a message from a woman called Tash cull

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 3>So on an episode a few weeks back. You can

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 3>listen to all of our episodes where you ay podcast

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 3>it's Flex and Frooms. But anyway, I think a while

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 3>ago I talked how I don't know how to sit

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 3>with my emotions. You know how psychologists and online people say.

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Feel your feelings, feel your feeling.

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>See with your emotion.

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>What sick?

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Pardon me, I'm scared. Anyway, this chick had to listen

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 3>and she set me in this advice.

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay for rooms.

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 6>I was just listening to your latest episode with Flex

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 6>and I noticed that you said you didn't know how

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 6>to sit with your emotions, and funnily enough, I never

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 6>knew how to as well up until six months ago.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 6>When I'm working with my psych I'm not a psychologist,

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 6>so don't follow this advice. But what they mean when

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 6>they say to sit with your emotions is when you're

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 6>feeling anxious or angry. Usually you'll have a feeling in

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 6>your body, for example, like a tightness in your chest,

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 6>or a warm feeling in your hands, or a heaviness

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 6>in your face or a heaviness in your chest. I

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 6>usually get a lot of emotions in my chest and

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 6>face area. I think that's quite common. And what you're

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 6>meant to do is sit there and focus on that feeling.

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 6>So it's not so much about focusing on the thoughts

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 6>that are spiraling in your head or thinking about things

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 6>and ruminating about things. It's more just focusing on what

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 6>your body is actually feeling in the moment. So I'll

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 6>do that like every time I'm feeling really angry or anxious,

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 6>and yeah, it actually really helps. I will say that

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 6>I've had a massive difference in my life over the

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 6>past six months, Like emotions still feel really hard, but yeah,

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 6>that's what it means by sitting with your emotions. I

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 6>guess I hope that.

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Helps first and foremost.

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 3>This woman has sent me full voice notes all the

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 3>perfect time. Did she start a once?

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Did she waffle? Not at all, So thank you toch

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 2>for example.

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Comp that everybody and please copy. So Yeah, feeling your emotions.

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 3>What I've realized is I get exma between my fingers

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes I wake up at night, like last night,

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 3>and they're really itchy, and that means I'm anxious. I

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 3>don't know how it works. Yeah, I itch it to

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 3>pieces and that's what I know. Oh, something's wrong in

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 3>the head.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And so we shouldn't be trying to dig deeper as

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>to what you're anxious about, because that would be intellectualizing.

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Or I think we do.

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 3>But then we also just acknowledge a feeling each the

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 3>fingers and then go back to sleep. Okay, not sure

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 3>if that's what I was meant to take from it,

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 3>but thank you Tah for sending in the voice note.

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that you're listening to Flex and Firms on Kaita.

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>We have some good news and potentially some bad news.

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>The pendulum has swung in a very fairer way. The

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Internet has said clean girl talk, clean girl aesthetic is

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>out and now we're advocates for messiness and I quote

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>mindful messiness. I love a pr spin on what is

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>regular human behavior? Is it chaos? No, it's generating mess mindfully.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Listen to this while it's getting a makeover, let's look

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 4>into it. The vibe has shifted. Lex culture has been

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 4>replaced by social realism, the girl boss has gone down

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 4>the dream and chaos is raining in our previously estheticized fees.

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what the issue is? It's that these

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>trends go from accessible and achievable and really simple to

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>execute to the most extreme. Like on TikTok for the

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>last year, you couldn't just put your hair in a

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.079
<v Speaker 1>barn where some gold hoop earrings and some lip balm.

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>It had to be the slickest of buns, the most

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:13.439
<v Speaker 1>ornamental hoops possible, to Christine doughnut glazed lip I see

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>champagne cuticles. And suddenly it gets to a point where

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 1>to even maintain like it's not even about the ethos

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of what we're doing right, which is encouraging people to

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>be mindful of their appearance, but where reducing it down

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to these really unattainable labels that can only be executed

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>in like photo shoots.

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Not.

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Even the people that they're referencing as clean girls are

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>clean girls, not in the way they think this mindful

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.439
<v Speaker 1>mess though. Again, they're gonna start calling depression rooms trendy.

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>People are going to be advocating for a lack of

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>sense in their physical spaces because someone on the Internet

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>told them it's mindful to not clean up after themselves.

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>And you might think that I'm being a nark about it,

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>but this is how it happens for everyone. For everybody

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>who you think is of sound mind, there are twenty

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>four thousand who are easily manipulated.

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you reckon?

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely? Absolutely? Before you know, I'll be scrolling through the

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>internet and there'll be an article that says ballet flats

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to in and the comps like, oh no, I hate them.

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:26.319
<v Speaker 2>But what are you gonna do? You know, resign?

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Resign?

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 3>I put a pair of ballet flats that I had

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 3>from twenty thirteen on my story. Eighty percent said they're disgusting.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Did you see them?

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I did, think, but I'm not surprised.

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>But that do that poll in nine months time, and

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the pendulum will have swung again. Preach I like trends.

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I like trend culture. I think it's fun and interesting

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and exciting, but people rarely make it work for them.

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what you need to do is when there's

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.719
<v Speaker 1>a trend that mirrors your life style, lean in. So yeah,

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I was, I was on it. Don't oscillate so far

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>out of your reality to do something you don't want

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to do and then do it poorly. Please, no shade,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 1>just an observation.

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 3>I am always thinking of new and inventive dating ideas.

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.199
<v Speaker 2>You shut up.

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 3>I came across this genius idea for a date.

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>So you didn't invent this one.

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm going to add flavor to it.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I wish we could all normalize having a

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 3>first date where we run errands together. So if there's

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 3>no chemistry, at least I got light bulbs and picked

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 3>up my dry cleaning.

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I love this idea.

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Go on a date, but don't go sit idle in

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 3>a movie watching a movie you maybe hate. Go to

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 3>a supermarket, get all your stuff, go home. If there's

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 3>no vibe, you've done your errands, and if there is

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 3>a vibe, you've experienced a boyfriend girlfriend experience.

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. Why It sounds like something I

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>would like, but I don't like it because what I

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>want for our society is to bring back the romance

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.719
<v Speaker 1>that the poets were writing about, because we haven't had

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that in a millennium, okay a millennium.

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I guess I could only think of Sylvia Platt.

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>See, we haven't had the you know, and the autumn

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>leaves are falling as I tuck a strand of hair

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>behind her beautifully almond shaped it as.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>We post Prima Donna.

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, literally, we don't have that. And I just don't

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>relationships get boring anyway? Why do we want to simulate

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the boring part? First? I just think the best partnered

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>experience is to do something fanciful and fantastical. I would

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>rather go on an adventure with someone and never see

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>them again and be like, oh my goodness. And then

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>we went here. We went here, and it was just

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even like that. Then go to take my

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>local spot.

0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah true, my favorite aisles, not at all.

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>And I just feel like, are you coming on my

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Errand I'm going on your errand you're.

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Coming on, oh yeah, coming on my Errand.

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you're initiating the date, then yeah, I'll say,

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>like you've never done in your life. Shut up, I

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>have clearly. Okay, I get what they're saying because a

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people's dating experiences they just don't really go

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>anywhere and they get let down by the investment of

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>time and money and energy. But that is the exchange,

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that is the transaction. Yeah, I think if we try

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and reduce it to let me put in as little

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>effort as possible, or let me make sure this doesn't interrupt,

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the flow of my day. I don't think

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that will beget the outcome you think you're looking for.

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll pay that. I mean, I'll still try it.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh please when the opportunity presents, so you're going to

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.080
