Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch Up podcast.
Speaker 2: Sweety Pie is Glad You're back, Glad We're here, Glad
Speaker 2: life is here to live. I've been hearing some truly
Speaker 2: saddening things on the internet. One in particular is talking
Speaker 2: about for years and years and years people are predicted
Speaker 2: the canoe tipping theory with climate change, the year that
Speaker 2: it just gets really, really terrible, And every year that
Speaker 2: people talk about it, audiences get more and more disillusioned
Speaker 2: because they're like, you talk about this every year, But
Speaker 2: when this first came out in the seventies, the year
Speaker 2: they predicted things to go could put twenty twenty, They're like,
Speaker 2: it rapidly declines from there, and by twenty thirty, quality
Speaker 2: of life is worse than the nineteen hundreds. I mean,
Speaker 2: it just is not great. So that's a little something
Speaker 2: to leave you weird.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Where from today about thinking, and I'm always just passing
Speaker 4: on thoughts.
Speaker 2: Cannot I know, I can't suffer alone. I refuse not
Speaker 2: since lockdown. But I also wanted to chat about what
Speaker 2: if ten million dollars landed in your account, would you
Speaker 2: spend it or would would you turn it in. I
Speaker 2: think this says a lot about people. It's kind of
Speaker 2: like our own little litmus test for now. Obviously kind
Speaker 2: of people you want to surround yourself with are quite
Speaker 2: clear you'll figure it out in due time.
Speaker 4: Also, he dumbed me because I listened to commercial radio.
Speaker 4: It's a listener story, quite harrowing, but relatable for some
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kita FLEXI have
Speaker 1: you heard of ozembic? I have.
Speaker 4: It is likely if you're listening to this that you've
Speaker 4: heard of ozenbic. It is a medication in the treatment
Speaker 4: of diabetes, which is.
Speaker 2: Very surprising because in pop culture it's been referred to
Speaker 2: as a weight loss drug. Yeah, fascinating and.
Speaker 4: Allegedly, yes, it does make you lose weights. So yes,
Speaker 4: we've seen ozeenpic be the source of memes. Yes, come
Speaker 4: kind of like a pop culture mainstay, just came out
Speaker 4: of nowhere.
Speaker 2: Anybody who is looking particularly thin, people make jokes inferring
Speaker 2: that they've been taking ozenpic to assist in that weight loss.
Speaker 4: Yes, and I think in that realm, I mean half
Speaker 4: of the criticism sism of ozen pic or maybe seventy percent.
Speaker 4: Is that this popularity of the drug is meaning that
Speaker 4: it's harder for people who need.
Speaker 1: It for their health to get it.
Speaker 4: But also it's kind of like, you know, the common
Speaker 4: idea is that weight loss is often not healthy, or
Speaker 4: it's kind of like it's there is no such thing
Speaker 4: as a magical pill to make you healthier. However, I
Speaker 4: have come across an article allegedly ozembic is being tried
Speaker 4: to treat addiction and dementia. This is a story in
Speaker 4: The Guardian how scientists are hopeful that the weight loss
Speaker 4: drug Love, how they're calling it, that could have other effects,
Speaker 4: lowering cardiovascular disease and helping to treat pcos nature. So
Speaker 4: we know that it can help people lose more than
Speaker 4: ten percent of their body weight. That's been well chronicled,
Speaker 4: but now these scientists are looking at setting up clinical
Speaker 4: trials for other things. So one of the doctors at
Speaker 4: the University of Whole said that this kind of makes sense.
Speaker 4: So excessive weight has been identified as a significant significant
Speaker 4: risk factor for a range of comorbidities like fatty liver, cancer, dementia,
Speaker 4: cardiovascular diseases, So it makes sense that if you take
Speaker 4: something that makes you lose weight, you're going to be
Speaker 4: more healthy.
Speaker 2: Or just less prone to having those illnesses.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, And this month the company that produces wigov
Speaker 4: announce that the weight loss job can reduce the risk
Speaker 4: of major cardiovascular events like a stroger a heart attack
Speaker 4: by twenty percent in people who are living with obesity.
Speaker 4: But we are as fascinating, No, no, no, But this
Speaker 4: is the thing with this rate gets actually interesting because
Speaker 4: I know I would say that's pr The scientists say
Speaker 4: it's not clear if the results are down to the
Speaker 4: weight loss alone, but it could be that they are
Speaker 4: having direct effects on the blood.
Speaker 1: Vessels or the heart.
Speaker 4: Experts also, I reckon drugs like it's kind of ozeenpic.
Speaker 4: Another one called something else could make a difference to
Speaker 4: the polycystic ovary syndrome. This can affect eight to thirteen
Speaker 4: percent of women, and it's also linked to insulin resistance
Speaker 4: and the high risk of type two diabetes.
Speaker 2: This is what I was mentioning a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: If we ever think there's a point where it's too
Speaker 2: much information for the average person to have, so for example,
Speaker 2: all we know about ozen pic is fringe conversations people
Speaker 2: take this, they lose weight. Maybe it's for diabetes, maybe
Speaker 2: it's not. And then we get access to this information,
Speaker 2: and so far it's saying a lot of could ifs.
Speaker 2: Maybe it could do this, maybe it could do that,
Speaker 2: maybe it could do this, and maybe it could do that.
Speaker 2: But what happens is that after we consume this article
Speaker 2: and the six thousand other pieces of things we consume
Speaker 2: in a day, that just gets diluted down to like
Speaker 2: ozepic is good for health. I'm sure it would, because
Speaker 2: that's how it's coming across. Like it's like okay, like
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing any negatives they're coming out. Also, what
Speaker 2: I think is very interesting about the way that people
Speaker 2: perceive o zembic use is that for so long pop culture,
Speaker 2: mainstream culture, health and wellness, et cetera, the rhetoric it's
Speaker 2: been fat is not good and people should do whatever
Speaker 2: it takes to slim down and change your lifestyle. So
Speaker 2: people start doing whatever it takes, and then it becomes
Speaker 2: again a character assessment. Why are you doing it that
Speaker 2: way though? Why can't you do it in a noble way,
Speaker 2: in an honorable way. Why are you getting surgery? Why
Speaker 2: don't you just sweat just exercise. You didn't say that
Speaker 2: in the criteria. You didn't say that by any means necessary.
Speaker 2: So the means have arrived. What would you do if
Speaker 2: you woke up one random day checked your account and
Speaker 2: there was ten million dollars go? If you say anything
Speaker 2: other than spend it, you're a liar.
Speaker 1: Spend it.
Speaker 2: Was there part of me that wasn't going to spend it.
Speaker 4: And we're gonna do investment options, Like.
Speaker 2: Really, the criteria is like, are you spending it? Are
Speaker 2: you not spending it?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to get a one way ticket.
Speaker 2: No one asked are you spending it? Are you not
Speaker 2: spending it? Through to spending it?
Speaker 1: Babe?
Speaker 2: You spending it?
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, be serious Mickey spinning it?
Speaker 2: Well no, if he's not spending it for you spending it?
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, thank you, Julie some sense?
Speaker 2: Is it ethical?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: My?
Speaker 2: Is it ethical? Who are you sharing?
Speaker 3: Sit with?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 1: Are delusional?
Speaker 2: Ethical? Ten million dollars landing your account?
Speaker 1: No, it's not ethical.
Speaker 2: A guy did go to jail for this. And this
Speaker 2: is what I'm concerned about. Making the grab.
Speaker 3: When ten point four million dollars landed in this Victorian
Speaker 3: mother's bank account. She says her boyfriend convinced her it
Speaker 3: was a prize from crypto dot com, but the deposit
Speaker 3: was a banking blunder that the company didn't notice for
Speaker 3: seven months. By then, Feva Managari Menovel and Jatinder Singh
Speaker 3: had spent most of it.
Speaker 2: So imagine, right, ten million dollars les landed in your account.
Speaker 2: The person you're dating at the time, well, let's say
Speaker 2: a loved one. Let's do with that. A loved one
Speaker 2: convinces you that you probably won the prize money. You
Speaker 2: know who knows where it came from. You want it.
Speaker 2: It's yours. You can't trace it back. It doesn't say
Speaker 2: where it came from. But if it landed in your account,
Speaker 2: it's meant.
Speaker 1: To be yours.
Speaker 2: So what do you do. You go on a spending spree.
Speaker 2: You pay off your friend's mortgage, You buy your daughters
Speaker 2: a couple of houses, a couple of cars. You enjoy
Speaker 2: yourself for seven months. Then the bank starts knocking hanging.
Speaker 2: We accidentally put money in your account, and unless you
Speaker 2: give it back to us, you'll be arrested. It's a
Speaker 2: criminal offense.
Speaker 1: Shut up, that's yours.
Speaker 2: I feel like when you make a banking transaction on
Speaker 2: your apps, they always warn you if you don't put
Speaker 2: in the right details and it goes to somewhere it's
Speaker 2: not meant to go. That's not on us fast. So
Speaker 2: now why are we flipping the script if you put
Speaker 2: this ten mil where it wasn't meant to go. I
Speaker 2: felt like that's just an lu take uh huh, mark
Speaker 2: as a loss.
Speaker 1: Agreed, I will never forget.
Speaker 4: In year five I play, I was a big RuneScape
Speaker 4: girly and I was always level six Emerald plate skirt.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but is that like
Speaker 2: the lowest level.
Speaker 1: It's when you just learned how to fish.
Speaker 4: And I started talking to this guy and he was
Speaker 4: like a criminal on RuneScape and he's like, I'll get
Speaker 4: you access to an account that's level one hundred, which
Speaker 4: is like the best level. Will that's like a top level,
Speaker 4: And it was like my first taste of what it
Speaker 4: would be like to like be rich and famous. And
Speaker 4: then ever since you did it one hundred percent, I've
Speaker 4: got taken down in about ten minutes. But the rush
Speaker 4: of endorphins are like this was essentially ten million dollars
Speaker 4: in RuneScape Land I was walking around like it was
Speaker 4: being famous in the RuneScape landscape.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can.
Speaker 4: I can understand the megalomaniac tendencies that will come out.
Speaker 4: I'll be buying a house in colining Wood's a little
Speaker 4: beach patter in Saint kay Aulder.
Speaker 2: Either way, you gotta look at for yourself.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: That's what I've learned from this story. Now, this poor
Speaker 2: person who's paid off their friends more, who's getting howded
Speaker 2: by seven years for being a bad person, I can't believe.
Speaker 2: Look at the world we live in, and you would
Speaker 2: do it too. We all do it, except Josh and Mickey.
Speaker 2: Three out of every five people would do it. Watch
Speaker 2: your back.
Speaker 1: Flex and frilms on kedus.
Speaker 2: If you were hoping that Justin Bieber would beat the
Speaker 2: allegations of not wanting to be in the marriage to
Speaker 2: Hailey Bieber, you would be in core wrecked. They've been
Speaker 2: together for five whole years now, and year after year
Speaker 2: after year, he's made statements and also made no statements. Looked,
Speaker 2: I would say, overwhelmingly disinterested when papped with her. Recently,
Speaker 2: Haley was caught faking an intimate moment with Justin on
Speaker 2: her social media she recorded herself selfie mode, but wanted
Speaker 2: it to look like he was recording her and they
Speaker 2: were having a sweet moment, but an eagle eyed fan
Speaker 2: zoomed the whole way in and saw her hand holding
Speaker 2: her own iPhone. Embarrassing. Yes, but you know it is
Speaker 2: what it is. You must do what you need to
Speaker 2: do keep up appearances. Recently speaking, Justin Bieber was featured
Speaker 2: in a music video for Scissor's new single Snooze. I
Speaker 2: mean it's not a new single, it's on her recent album.
Speaker 2: And in that video she's seen just generally like flirting
Speaker 2: and can noodling and sharing cute little playful moments.
Speaker 1: Does he have a verse in the song?
Speaker 2: No, she's in the video clips. She's seen can noodling
Speaker 2: and having playful moments with about four or five different men.
Speaker 2: There's like that guy from Beef in it. Anyway, they're
Speaker 2: all hotties and she's like, it's all flirty. It looks
Speaker 2: like what couples do when no one's looking. And she's
Speaker 2: got a scene with Justin Bieber on a tractor and
Speaker 2: he looks like he wants to ravage her. They got
Speaker 2: a scene in the bedroom they're pillow fighting, The first
Speaker 2: thing the Internet said is he has a wife. The
Speaker 2: second thing the Internet said is why is he there?
Speaker 2: We get like the other people are there, they're models
Speaker 2: and like video people, but you don't have a verse
Speaker 2: in the song. You don't really have any incentive to
Speaker 2: be looking single and huddled up with Scissor of all people.
Speaker 2: And third of all, you're currently in the midst, in
Speaker 2: the midst of controversy where the Internet thinks that you
Speaker 2: don't like your wife. The Internet has seen the lengths
Speaker 2: that you go to to let the world know you're unhappy,
Speaker 2: and all you can see him to do is be
Speaker 2: cuddled up another woman. It's truly sickening, and it's very sad,
Speaker 2: and I don't understand how it can go for without
Speaker 2: somebody stepping in.
Speaker 1: I did see though.
Speaker 4: That like he reposted them and then at the very
Speaker 4: end did a thirst strapper Hayley yeah and redressing it
Speaker 4: a little bit.
Speaker 2: This man, this man literally did a full feed post
Speaker 2: after Frank Ocean's Coachella set, defending his legacy and saying
Speaker 2: Frank's amazing and you don't understand I back you one
Speaker 2: hundred percent, while the whole Internet saying Frank did a
Speaker 2: terrible job. Justin climbed out of his million dollar basement
Speaker 2: to defend him on socials with words and context, not
Speaker 2: just a random inn of solidarity. It's not enough for
Speaker 2: your wife of five years.
Speaker 1: Single image of solidarity.
Speaker 4: First's shut up. Hello, we have a listener. This is
Speaker 4: a real story sent.
Speaker 1: In by a listener of the show.
Speaker 4: The title is he dumped me because I listened to
Speaker 4: commercial radio. This was going to hit a little different
Speaker 4: for you, for all of you in the cart. But
Speaker 4: if you're listening on the podcast, which is fect some
Speaker 4: rooms where you get your podcasts, just know you're saved
Speaker 4: and you're not going to be in this position.
Speaker 1: Hi, Framinda and Flecksuni.
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.
Speaker 1: I have a big pickle for the girlies.
Speaker 4: I was recently seeing a guy and it was going
Speaker 4: well anyway.
Speaker 1: I got the vibe that he was kind of giving
Speaker 1: me crumbs ape.
Speaker 4: Lulu, and I was confused because when we are together.
Speaker 1: He puts in a lot of effort. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Another classic at this point of fairy tale. Also, we
Speaker 2: should write fairy tales based on modern dating, just modern woes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, prepare the next generation. We have some key learnings.
Speaker 4: She goes on anyway, I decided to bring it up
Speaker 4: with him and ask him, am I not usual type?
Speaker 4: Because I can't see any other reason why he would
Speaker 4: keep giving me donuts?
Speaker 2: That I mean, have you not heard that giving donuts?
Speaker 1: Giving me like zeros? Like not giving me?
Speaker 2: Ah, that's creative?
Speaker 4: Learned that from yeah unnamed. I put him on the spot,
Speaker 4: but he ended up saying, and this is in quotation marks,
Speaker 4: well we have different tastes in music. When I was
Speaker 4: in the car with you, you were listening to insert commercial
Speaker 4: radio station brutal and I was so shook. I said, well,
Speaker 4: maybe we aren't right for each other.
Speaker 2: WHOA In real time?
Speaker 4: I have resolved that I won't see him again, but
Speaker 4: thought you girlies would like the story, and I wanted
Speaker 4: to know, has there ever been a situation where you've
Speaker 4: been broken up with by someone or you've broken up
Speaker 4: with someone for a reason, because this one seems pretty petty.
Speaker 2: That one is pretty petty? Is that what has come
Speaker 2: to though? I feel like broad strokes in dating hasn't
Speaker 2: been working, so maybe it's time to get really specific
Speaker 2: to the granula.
Speaker 4: It's very specific, and I think, if anything, it is
Speaker 4: an indicator of what this person values and if that's
Speaker 4: not in alignment to you. I mean, how long have
Speaker 4: you guys been seeing each other? Does he know that
Speaker 4: it was just like on your radio? Or were you like, yeah,
Speaker 4: like I love listening to this right Were you like
Speaker 4: ed Sheering is the goat? Are they like colplay number
Speaker 4: one fan? Because we've all had commercial radio just on
Speaker 4: in the background of the car.
Speaker 2: Some part of me feels like this is the reality
Speaker 2: of how people have programmed themselves to date. This is
Speaker 2: post ick culture, reducing people down to these morsels that
Speaker 2: become huge identifiers of who they are. Oh, I, you know,
Speaker 2: went to tie with someone for dinner and they didn't
Speaker 2: like coriander, and I can't date someone who's so close minded,
Speaker 2: you know. Or I went to someone's house and they
Speaker 2: only had self development books and I just can't deal
Speaker 2: with someone who only sees the world in one way.
Speaker 2: It's these stories we create around the information we have
Speaker 2: access to, and in some ways it's very helpful to
Speaker 2: be able to draw or connect dots like that, But
Speaker 2: I feel like we've lost our way a little bit.
Speaker 3: You've been listening to the Flex and Frooms Daily podcast
Speaker 3: for more tune indicator on DAB or stream it on iHeartRadio.
