WEBVTT - Are Blazers Over? 👚 ❌

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>On Flex and Frooms.

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Flex and Firms.

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:09.120
<v Speaker 3>This is the Flex and Frooms catch Up podcast. Welcome

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 3>back to the Flex and Frooms Podcast. It's a pleasure

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 3>to have you here. Honestly, am I in a good mood.

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty hungry, to be fair.

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But always hungry. Somebody said to me the other day,

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>No they didn't. I like I watched the TikTok. No,

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>we won't get into that now. Of this guy who

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>was saying that the modern equivalent of the weather chat

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>is to talk about whether or not you've seen popular

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>TV show, And I thought, damn it really is that redundant,

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>because even if someone's seen it, I find that people

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>aren't good at expressing what they like about things that

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 1>they consume. And so member I said the other day,

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not giving out recommendations because I care to. Okay,

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm in two separate categories. I can

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>watch things I don't like and enjoy them. Yeah, And

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>if I enjoy something a lot, I don't want to

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>talk to a stranger about it. Who's gonna shit on

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>my feelings? Yeah, Everyone's like when people watch Twilight in

0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three and say, oh my yeah. But it's

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm like babes, it was important, little sixteen.

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Can you let it live? Let it rest? I respectful,

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>you respectful to be honest. I let's go. This is

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Flex and Frooms a few weeks ago. Now I've been

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 3>getting into tapping into my spiritual practice. I say this

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 3>with a grain of salt. As you know, I probably

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>grew up in not the most religious household, In fact,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 3>probably the opposite, very how do you say, not secular

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 3>or like I watched Simpsons. That was my daily routine.

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 3>That was a semblance of as you know, like a

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>lot of my beliefs come from something like the Simpsons,

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 3>for example. So anyway, I spoke the other day about intuition,

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>like what is intuition? And it turns out I produced

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Brookie has found a listener's take. It's a voice note.

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Her name is Milli wind Shuttle, so wind Shuttle. It

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 3>just it looked like something else on the paper. Hit

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 3>the tape, Brookie, Hey, Flex and Frooms.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to respond to the tea talk about

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>intuition because I think what I gleaned from that was

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>that they were saying it makes you uncomfortable, not necessarily

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.839
<v Speaker 2>that it's bad or at least that's just the bit

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that I took away from it. And so what I

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of like thought about was, you know when it

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>can be good, Like it could be good. You know,

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 2>when you feel like you want to like make a

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>new friend, or you see someone and you want to

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 2>be friends with them, but you're like nervous, or you know,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>if you're going through a breakup and if you're with

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a partner and you just know that you need to

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>leave and it's the right thing, you just know it

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's intuitive, but you're also like terrified to actually

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>make that leap. Like it's like a knowing maybe that

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>you should do something or you could do something, but

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:50.399
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of fear around that. Yes, so it's

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of like fantasy mixed with just uncomfortability or like,

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, really small things that could affect your

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 2>day to day. I think sometimes I get kind of

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 2>messages or intuition that I should like say hello to

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>this stranger on the street, and it's just like because

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 2>of them, it feels like it could be important for

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:15.679
<v Speaker 2>both of us, or yeah, reaching out to someone. I

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know, this all sounds very interpersonal, but I'm interested

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>if that could be a jumping off point to continue

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>that conversation. I don't know. I'm really into a le

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 2>woo woo. So yeah, anyway, love the show, Gonna keep

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>listening now goodbye.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 3>She really said, I'm not done.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I said, I remember this chat. It's coming back

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>to me in a vision. And so from what I recall,

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you shared this TikTok with us, and I was thinking

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>it was odd because it was so far on the

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>deep end of woo woo that feels quite antithetical for

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>how you see the world. And even I was like,

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I like this, and I feel like

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>it was because it was positioning intuition as something that

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>only comes up in fearful situations, as opposed to intuition

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>being neutral, a tool that you can use to discern

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>what's happening around you, that you're not relying just on

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>facts or logic to decide that it's worth listening to.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>So my intuition, like Milly said, might encourage me to

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to my uber driver today when I usual wouldn't

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like having conversation and it was actually great and

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>we are from the same country and whatever it might

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>be that feels like intuition or my intuition tells me

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>today's gonna be a Gooday. I've got no reason why so,

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>but that video made it seem like your intuition is

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that is that scary feeling that goes bump in the

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>night and you should you pay attention to it. It's like, yeah,

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that and more. Yeah, I like that, Millie, Thank you

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.559
<v Speaker 1>for sending a voice note. I love hearing a voice note.

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.919
<v Speaker 3>It thoughtful, meaty, long voice note in a gorgeous dulcet tone.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't get better than that. Thank you, Milly.

<v Speaker 3>this week we're talking about success, what it looks like

<v Speaker 3>for us and what it looks like in the technology landscape,

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 3>because we are future forward babes, and I want to

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>talk about technology and community. You and I have both

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 3>built communities. I would say I want to use that word,

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>and technology has obviously made that possible. Thank you Mark

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 3>Zuckerbed for puffing with Instagram.

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>You work for met Advocate one on one and Mark

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>has made that possible. Thank you. Is he in the

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>room with us now?

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Never Spiegel? I did get my come up on Snapchat,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 3>So thank you very much. As you know, I like

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 3>to connect with my community quite often. We did a

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.159
<v Speaker 3>job the other day where we invited listeners to our

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 3>show and I actually befriended a woman and we went

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 3>surfing that weekend and we've been meaning to go right

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 3>now in a group chat together. And that's why I

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 3>think if you build a community around things that you

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 3>really like and you are your person or your best self,

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 3>you may attract people that follow you that you can

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 3>start a relationship with. Does it work for dating? Per se?

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 3>In my hoard we get back.

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>To dating, Get your head up the gutary of police

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to friendships, and there's no like ulterior motives,

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and it can work quite well because you can find

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>people with like minded interests. So interesting, because when I

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>think about the community I've built, I didn't recognize it

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>as a community.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 3>For half the time, I.

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Thought it was a bunch of people who had overstepped

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and overfamiliarized what we were doing. Because back in the

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>days the internet didn't feel like a community. It was

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.280
<v Speaker 1>very I speak, you listen, and very rarely we break

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that barrier to engage as equals and realistically, even if

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you were to pose a question or ask for conversation,

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>people would be like, no, I'm not an influencer. I'm

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.359
<v Speaker 1>not going to speak with you. And so when that

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 1>transition started happening, I thought it was strange because it

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't as though people went from you are the person,

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm the you are the creator, I'm the consumer. You speak,

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I listen. It went from that and overnight to we

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>must be friends. I'm going to be over familiar. I'm

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>going to ask too many questions, ask really personal questions,

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and justify that by how long I've been subscribed to

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you or how long I follow you for. And so

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it's taken me a little while to figure out how

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that how community actually works for me because I think

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in my instance, I like it existing just virtually and

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>online because I can create these boundaries and I don't

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 1>have to confuse them. This exists in this space, and

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>if for some reason we engage offline, we use the

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>same online expectations to dictate this relationship. I'm not going

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to be the one who goes surfing with someone I

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>met on the internet who's following me because of this

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>illusion they've mee me. But I will become friends with

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>someone that I've met, but it would build like a

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like a regular friendship.

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Like a normal person. No, I didn't say that I regular.

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 3>I just needed to go surfing, and I thought.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no, you don't need to justify I think it's cool,

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>But I, for one, I think that sometimes it takes

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a big reminder from myself to myself to be like,

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't know these people, but they know a lot

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>about you.

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a bit too scary. I think you can't think

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 3>about it for too long, otherwise you wig yourself out.

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>That's what you want to.

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 3>Be put on blood.

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.199
<v Speaker 1>I think we should stop talking about it.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Because I feel uncomfortable. But no, I think, like I

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 3>did see now that I Emma Chamberlain on her website.

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I saw a TikTok about how she was charging ten

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars for a DM slide, which I think it.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Was a joke.

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that really it was a joke because

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 3>she seems very in touch. I know we're going to think, well,

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 3>she's not, but I actually think she would understand how

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 3>the internet works very well. She's an expert, and I

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 3>think she knows as we say about like outrage marketing.

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.839
<v Speaker 3>Now I want to go on her website and look

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 3>at it, and now I'm gonna look at the merch

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 3>and think, oh, she kind of pops up with their

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>merch there. Maybe I'll buy some she got you? Yeah,

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 3>you just got chamberlaind.

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>You just got Chamberlain. Either way, I think parasocial relationships

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>are not to be feared. They serve a purpose, and

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a slippery slope to take something that

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>exists in this ecosystem with a very distinct reasoning and

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>bring it into the real world without recognizing the implications.

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Know the implications.

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Stay a fan. You think when I tour for Dose,

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you can't try to be a friend. No.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Did you talk to her?

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course, But I said, let me remain in the

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>fantasy so I can still engage with your stuff online continuously,

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not ruin the illusion to be like well, when I

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>met head like a, keep it out of your exactly

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and your mouth flex and rooms On Kater by popular demand,

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>we have another am I the asshole. This one's about

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>friends who force you into committing to do things months

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>in advance. I have my feelings about this, but it's

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>not about me right now, let's get into it. This

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>person says, my friend tries to corner me and make

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>me commit to things months in advance, such as dog sitting.

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>My friend is Type A and is obsessed with planning

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>out her future months in advance. Additionally, she has children,

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>which she consistently tells me is the reason why she

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>can't just leave plans the last minute, which is fair enough.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>She recently reached out saying that she'd like me to

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>dog sit for two weeks in September, and I told

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>her I don't know what I have going on at

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>that time and don't want to commit to that as yet,

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>but in the meantime she should seek alternatives for dog sitting.

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>She said, m it seems like you don't have much

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>going on, so it sounds like you actually have the

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>capacity to take this on. I haven't saddled myself with

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>pets or children, and I feel like the freedom to

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>be spontaneous is my right saddle to myself, and I'd

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>like to take advantage of that before I one day

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>have these responsibilities, which is fair. The last time she

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>asked me to do this months in advance, I missed

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>out on a content as well as a cottage trip,

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to miss out again. When you

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>told me I was unreasonable, and she's willing to change

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>her vacation days to suit when I can dog sit.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>She clearly doesn't understand the concept of I don't know

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>what I have going on, but that doesn't mean something

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>won't pop up. If you have pets, then isn't it

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>reasonable that you factor in things like making arrangements at

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a dog kennel as part of having them. I don't know.

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Am I the asshole here? Look of all the am

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I the assholes that we've done? I feel like this

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>is the juiciest because it's in the realm of actual possibility.

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>When somebody said not, when somebody when Rooms said that

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>she feels like some people do creative writing and make

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>them up for Internet club. Actually it made me see

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 1>all of them differently. But this one is definitely real.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't make this up. It's like the most rock

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in a hard place scenario that because I get it,

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>she trapped you, but you're trapped. You're essentially trapped. The

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.679
<v Speaker 1>first that comes to mind is how close a friends

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>are you? Because there are some friends that I consider

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>in a circle in a sanctum where if you ask,

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I do wow anything because my inner sanctum friends won't

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>ask me for things if it's not if they don't

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>really need them. They know better than that, right, So

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>it's like, can I ask you a favor? Can you

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>please feed my cat? Babes? Yeah, I'm going to feed

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the cat all good, But my friends, like I, my

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>golden rulers, don't ask me to do something that you

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do with ease, and that rules a lot of

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>things out, Like for me, I don't ask my friends

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 1>for help with moving because I don't want you to

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ask me. Please let me out of it. I don't

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 1>want to do it. It's grunt work in this situation though,

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it's the cornering that's getting me. And like, if your friends,

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.559
<v Speaker 1>like I get it, it's really annoying, but please like that.

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't seem like it's happening at all. They're

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, why don't you just do it?

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 3>What do you think I've been in a like my

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Fami and I go on to Bali soon as per,

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 3>and we've got two dogs, Tory and Pepper. Tory is

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 3>a little Boston Yorkshire Terrier, the tiny little terrier, and

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Pepper is a poodle. Have been known to call her

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 3>a teacup, but that is obviously against the law to

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 3>have a teacup poodle, so it's a toy poodle for

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 3>all those interesting whoa. And they're very cute and very

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 3>they're like ten years old now. But the biggest difficulty

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 3>is trying to find someone to look after them because

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>my relatives have dogs that have beef with my dogs.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 3>So we're kind of in a rock and a hard place.

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 3>Can't bring the doggies to Bali. Unlike Amber Herd and

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Johnny Depp bringing their little Yorkshires to Australia. We don't

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 3>have Barnaby Joyce waving us through to later incriminate us.

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Not yet.

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it wouldn't rule it out.

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 3>So it's a hard it's a hard thing. And I

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 3>think if she's going to enumerate you then look into it.

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>That's not coming up. This is not like I'm going

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to pay you for this thing.

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 3>And this person sounds like them to say I didn't

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 3>settle myself with children and pets. Like clearly they're not

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 3>a pet person and they should be able to enjoy

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 3>their civil liberties as someone not looking after a job.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Like dogs are crazy. It means you can't get really

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 3>like you can't go out really late because you've got

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 3>to be home with them, Like you can't have sleepovers.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, as the age old saying goes, you

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>never give someone a responsibility. If it's a responsibility, it's

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a job. If it's a job, pay them flex and frooms.

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 3>That'd a best what a duo today, FLEXI. I'm asking

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 3>the big question, which is are Blazers the new peplum top?

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Is this an original thought?

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Have I ever had one? That is the question that

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 3>we should be asking this in the cranium? Is R

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 3>are Blazers the new peplum top? Read this? It's from TikTok.

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I am the biggest hater, and today I'll be

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 3>hating on the Blazer girlies, not the corporate blazer girlies.

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 3>I understand them. It's off as a tire. It fits

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 3>the vibe. But dear Lord, after wearing your blazer to

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 3>work Monday to Friday, way on earth are you wearing

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 3>it to brunch on Saturday with your ripped mum jeans

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 3>and heels. It's really coming for the jugular or God

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 3>forbid with a corset, a pair of cargoes and trainers.

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Why have we let business casual become such a trend

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 3>the new casual? If I see one more brightly colored

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Zara blazer throwing a fit?

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Why have we let business casually become a trend? What

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>do you think?

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 2>For me?

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely a hangover of the girl bussification of women

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 3>quite a serious issue.

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Some would say you got it out for the girl boss,

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>like I was not coming from inside the house. Every

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>issue the girl bust, the girl bus, the babe. You're

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to throw people off your set. They already know

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>who you are. Sis see, you get it. You're like

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 1>other girl buses. You're different. You go by CEO respectfully.

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I have been looking at the blazers in

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 3>my cupboard, like today, I wanted to wear something over

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 3>my singlets. I just even before reading this, have stopped

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 3>wearing all my blazers. I mean it, I was looking

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 3>at them.

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>The roller tape.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Here shoes again like I've got one jacket, like lightweight

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 3>jacket that I'd wear. But I just feel kind of

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 3>like in this style.

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Is because I've been in summer.

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 3>No, I've been going out, think I need to elevate

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 3>the outfit, Like am I gonna bring out the sparkly gloves?

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Maybe not? But am I ready to wear a blazer

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 3>with the beautiful like structurally sound No, but I don't

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 3>know what the alternative it is. It's also like crocs.

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm over them, but what's next? Because I'm not gonna

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 3>deny my afft crocs I've worn and I'm not exaggerating crocs.

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 3>For the last six months, not a single time have

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I been wearing runners. The only other enclosed shoe that

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 3>I wear are high heel boots that I have to

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 3>get someone to rip off my feet because then you

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 3>pos off my calves. I've experienced, and you actually have

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 3>and rollerblades, so you heard it here first. If you

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 3>have any alternatives to blazers or crocs, please tell me,

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 3>because I'm desperate, don't maybe go on Pinterest. You've been

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.120
