Speaker 1: On Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: Flex and Frooms This is the Flex and Frooms catch
Speaker 2: up podcast.
Speaker 3: Flex and Frooms on CADA weekdays three to five p m.
Speaker 3: Purveyors of interesting thoughts and also get rich quick schemes.
Speaker 3: It happens more than you'd think it should. A couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, I told a story about how when
Speaker 3: I was probably I don't know, like twenty two or something,
Speaker 3: I was really really interested in Sunkist, the beverage.
Speaker 1: It was my favorite drink at the time.
Speaker 3: So much so that I thought I'm going to start
Speaker 3: an Instagram page for Sunkiss. I think it was like
Speaker 3: Sunkists underscore au so like whatever it might have been,
Speaker 3: in hopes that when Sunkist wanted to increase their Australian
Speaker 3: presence and make an Instagram page, they would see my
Speaker 3: account and then I would extort them out of free
Speaker 3: Sunkist or money. I wasn't sure at the time. Last
Speaker 3: week we got a very interesting DM from person named Aaron.
Speaker 3: They said, I love the pod and recently took one
Speaker 3: of your lessons into plan and I'm hoping to sell
Speaker 3: an insta handle a radio station which happens to be
Speaker 3: one of our competitors, No, free Press changed host and
Speaker 3: I jumped in and changed my username on two existing
Speaker 3: accounts and waited until they got a message. The message
Speaker 3: came from the official instant, and what I can assume
Speaker 3: is someone who works for their social media looking for
Speaker 3: advice on how to navigate this. Now I'm in the
Speaker 3: thick of it, and so we're going to get Aaron
Speaker 3: on the phone, have a little bit of a chat
Speaker 3: and see if you know, if he wants to be accomplices,
Speaker 3: then let's split that check. Hello, Aaron, our partner in crime,
Speaker 3: our fellow potential criminal.
Speaker 1: How are you? Its flex and frooms.
Speaker 2: Naturally, I'm good, happy to be talking to you. Guys.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about this radio station that will not be
Speaker 3: named and shan't be named. Who messaged you and asked
Speaker 3: you for access to the handle? Were they offering money
Speaker 3: or just a good faith exchange?
Speaker 2: They messaged me. They asked me how much I would
Speaker 2: be willing to sell it for negotiation?
Speaker 1: One O one okay, And.
Speaker 2: I probably put the price too high, but I thought
Speaker 2: i'd start high. I said five thousand dollars, okay.
Speaker 1: I support that was that plus GST.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, yeah, excluding okay.
Speaker 1: Great, great, And did you get a response back?
Speaker 2: No, and then also said you name your price and
Speaker 2: we can go from there. No response since then. They've
Speaker 2: talked about it on the show, They've put up the messages,
Speaker 2: which is funny, but no response since then.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about it? Would you change your
Speaker 1: strategy in hindsight?
Speaker 3: Because I have your back? You know, I think that
Speaker 3: it's first DIBs. Darwin's theory still exists in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three Survival of the Fittest they cooked it, you swipped in.
Speaker 3: You are worthy of a reward, even if it's not
Speaker 3: the five K. I think a little treat is in order.
Speaker 3: So would you do anything differently? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It again exactly. Maybe not suggest that price. I think
Speaker 2: it scared them off and they thought, damn, this guy's
Speaker 2: really trying to swindle us. I okay, was probably too
Speaker 2: much to ask for.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Do you think they know that you got the idea
Speaker 3: from me? And did you incriminate me? Because I want
Speaker 3: to know if I should be watching my back.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: No, no incrimination. I wouldn't do that to you guys.
Speaker 2: How you.
Speaker 1: Let you known out of it with.
Speaker 2: The dog eat dog worldly.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you still have the energy? Do you
Speaker 1: want to keep pursuing it or you just letting it go?
Speaker 2: I don't know where. They haven't changed their handle yet,
Speaker 2: so I'm sort of just wearing a weird stand off.
Speaker 2: They did say what they were going to change their
Speaker 2: handle too on their Instagram, which is weird because then
Speaker 2: I saw someone else swiped out that name. Anyway, No,
Speaker 2: what are doing? Yeah, I don't know if they were
Speaker 2: trying to bluss me to change mine. At a standstill,
Speaker 2: Can I.
Speaker 3: Make some suggestions to push the needle forward because I'd
Speaker 3: love a win on your side and flex and rooms
Speaker 3: winners only on this end, we don't lose, at least
Speaker 3: not publicly.
Speaker 1: Can we go with a counter offer?
Speaker 3: Five K was was a nice gesture to start with,
Speaker 3: But there's is there anything else you want? Fame, glory, clout, event, cinema,
Speaker 3: gift vouchers, movie deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was thinking of offering just let me win
Speaker 2: one of your little prizes that they let.
Speaker 3: Them wreak something for you. I feel like that could
Speaker 3: be fun and funny.
Speaker 2: They don't need to go back something else.
Speaker 3: Do you know they would love it for the content,
Speaker 3: like they storylines if you can think of something that
Speaker 3: would really make them pop on air, don't think okay,
Speaker 3: don't do their job for them. I'm just saying there's
Speaker 3: room to gaislate them to thinking that. You know, you
Speaker 3: deserve a gift for your efforts, because I think right
Speaker 3: now they're seeing you as a villain and you're not.
Speaker 1: You're You're very.
Speaker 2: I'm a guy that an average guy trying to get
Speaker 2: a get a buck, trying to the.
Speaker 3: Cozy living's up, babe, inflation app the RBA set interest
Speaker 3: rates up.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 3: I support you. I really think you should slide in
Speaker 3: now during business hours. Oh yeah, slide in, see what
Speaker 3: you can get and let us know what happens and
Speaker 3: if we do have to come in. Obviously not publicly
Speaker 3: because you know we can't be associated with you in
Speaker 3: a public way, but privately we're happy to help you win.
