WEBVTT - We Have Accidentally Messed With Our Radio Competitor 📻 🎙️

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:02.440
<v Speaker 1>On Flex and Frooms.

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Flex and Frooms This is the Flex and Frooms catch

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 2>up podcast.

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.239
<v Speaker 3>Flex and Frooms on CADA weekdays three to five p m.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 3>Purveyors of interesting thoughts and also get rich quick schemes.

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 3>It happens more than you'd think it should. A couple

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 3>of weeks ago, I told a story about how when

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I was probably I don't know, like twenty two or something,

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 3>I was really really interested in Sunkist, the beverage.

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 1>It was my favorite drink at the time.

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 3>So much so that I thought I'm going to start

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 3>an Instagram page for Sunkiss. I think it was like

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 3>Sunkists underscore au so like whatever it might have been,

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>in hopes that when Sunkist wanted to increase their Australian

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>presence and make an Instagram page, they would see my

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 3>account and then I would extort them out of free

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Sunkist or money. I wasn't sure at the time. Last

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 3>week we got a very interesting DM from person named Aaron.

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 3>They said, I love the pod and recently took one

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 3>of your lessons into plan and I'm hoping to sell

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 3>an insta handle a radio station which happens to be

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>one of our competitors, No, free Press changed host and

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 3>I jumped in and changed my username on two existing

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>accounts and waited until they got a message. The message

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 3>came from the official instant, and what I can assume

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 3>is someone who works for their social media looking for

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 3>advice on how to navigate this. Now I'm in the

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 3>thick of it, and so we're going to get Aaron

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 3>on the phone, have a little bit of a chat

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>and see if you know, if he wants to be accomplices,

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 3>then let's split that check. Hello, Aaron, our partner in crime,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 3>our fellow potential criminal.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>How are you? Its flex and frooms.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Naturally, I'm good, happy to be talking to you. Guys.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about this radio station that will not be

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 3>named and shan't be named. Who messaged you and asked

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 3>you for access to the handle? Were they offering money

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 3>or just a good faith exchange?

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>They messaged me. They asked me how much I would

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>be willing to sell it for negotiation?

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>One O one okay, And.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I probably put the price too high, but I thought

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 2>i'd start high. I said five thousand dollars, okay.

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I support that was that plus GST.

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Or yeah, yeah, excluding okay.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Great, great, And did you get a response back?

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>No, and then also said you name your price and

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>we can go from there. No response since then. They've

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 2>talked about it on the show, They've put up the messages,

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>which is funny, but no response since then.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>How are you feeling about it? Would you change your

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>strategy in hindsight?

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Because I have your back? You know, I think that

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 3>it's first DIBs. Darwin's theory still exists in twenty twenty

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 3>three Survival of the Fittest they cooked it, you swipped in.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 3>You are worthy of a reward, even if it's not

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 3>the five K. I think a little treat is in order.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 3>So would you do anything differently? Yeah?

0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>It again exactly. Maybe not suggest that price. I think

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it scared them off and they thought, damn, this guy's

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 2>really trying to swindle us. I okay, was probably too

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>much to ask for.

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you think they know that you got the idea

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 3>from me? And did you incriminate me? Because I want

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 3>to know if I should be watching my back.

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>No, no incrimination. I wouldn't do that to you guys.

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>How you.

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Let you known out of it with.

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>The dog eat dog worldly.

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you still have the energy? Do you

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>want to keep pursuing it or you just letting it go?

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where. They haven't changed their handle yet,

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 2>so I'm sort of just wearing a weird stand off.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>They did say what they were going to change their

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 2>handle too on their Instagram, which is weird because then

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw someone else swiped out that name. Anyway, No,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>what are doing? Yeah, I don't know if they were

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to bluss me to change mine. At a standstill,

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Can I.

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 3>Make some suggestions to push the needle forward because I'd

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 3>love a win on your side and flex and rooms

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 3>winners only on this end, we don't lose, at least

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>not publicly.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Can we go with a counter offer?

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Five K was was a nice gesture to start with,

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 3>But there's is there anything else you want? Fame, glory, clout, event, cinema,

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 3>gift vouchers, movie deal.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I was thinking of offering just let me win

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>one of your little prizes that they let.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Them wreak something for you. I feel like that could

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 3>be fun and funny.

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>They don't need to go back something else.

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.679
<v Speaker 3>Do you know they would love it for the content,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>like they storylines if you can think of something that

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 3>would really make them pop on air, don't think okay,

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 3>don't do their job for them. I'm just saying there's

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 3>room to gaislate them to thinking that. You know, you

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.840
