<v Speaker 1>Peter Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 2>This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. Lexi

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and I went to a redacted music festival recently. We

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 2>both got violently ill, which we found out was later

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 2>a festival wirde situation. It was a flu type behavior

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 2>that had us knocked about for a full week out

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of office and therefore out of money in some respects

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>loss of income.

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Loss of income what's file for?

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 2>Definitely there Anyway, I wanted to figure out how to

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>be better in the moshpe because we saw some crazy

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 2>behavior Monday last week on our potty we spoke about

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 2>if you want to go back and listen, but we

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>have a voice note from a listener called Harrison, please

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Mickey play the tape.

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Last Tuesday, I was in the mosh to see Wizzo

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>when a full blown argument happens right before the opening performance.

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 3>To our left to a four moms and the group

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 3>of children, literal children so small I couldn't even see them.

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 3>So there's a girl, let's call her Trish to make

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 3>this easy to follow. She's trying to weave between people

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 3>to get as close as she can, not aggressively. One

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 3>mom taps Trisha on the shoulder and scolds her, saying

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 3>something along the lines of I've seen you trying to

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 3>push your way through for some time. Now, we have

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 3>children who are only eleven. I understand the mosh can

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>be rough, but stop. They are eleven and you need

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 3>to consider them. Then Mom number two gets called over,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 3>who didn't even see what happened, gets mad, starts putting

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 3>her finger right in Trisha's face, swears at her, and

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>then threatens to hurt her if she comes close to

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 3>her kid again. But that's not it. After the opening act,

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 3>the mom from before taps on my friend's shoulder and

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 3>tells us she's noticed that we've moved closer to the front,

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 3>which isn't even near her kid's mind you and then

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 3>police is how we are standing as if she works

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>for Rod Labor himself. At the My Chemical Romance concert,

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 3>my nipple piecing almost got ripped out and I had

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>to throw out my white shirt from bloodstains. So Mickey

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 3>flex and firms. My question is do you think there

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 3>should be an age limit in the marsh?

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 3>And do you think that you are allowed to police

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 3>the marsh if you don't work there?

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Just like this, mother did this is maym storyteller, storyteller.

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 2>I've been grinning eaty at this story. Your storytelling is honestly.

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>What I will say is that in the mush pit,

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely one of those situations. If okay. What I

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>will say is that mush pits are definitely akin to

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>It really is. You know what's going to go down

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>in there. It's lawless behavior. It's meant to be enthusiastic,

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>high energy, anything to get closer to this person that

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you adore by any means necessary. Unfortunately, that does involve

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>touching strangers and people getting in front of you, and

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that six foot five guy that happens to be in

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>front of you at all times, and that girl with

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the big hair who won't flicking it near your face

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>all part of the game. What I will say, though,

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is that there should I don't think there needs to

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>be a cap or an age limit in the mosh pit,

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>but I will say, on the extreme ends on either

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>side of age, get them out, because what happens when

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you're on the really young end of the spectrum, you're

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>new here, you don't know how hectic and can get

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and people aren't going to assume responsibility over you just

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>because you're young. And then if you're on the older

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.119
<v Speaker 1>end of the spectrum, I don't mean that you don't

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>have the physical capacity to be there. I mean that

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 1>you're far more prickly. I know that I the older

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 1>I get, am far more prickly in the moshpit. I

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>got to check myself a lot of the time. You know,

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Like at this festival that we were at, what would

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>happen is that we would end up in a walkway,

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and I want it to be closer, like in the crowd, shielded.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>So I wasn't like having to deal with people excuse me,

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>excuse me? Can I get through? Can I get through?

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Either way? Mosh Pit etiquette is anything for fun, anything

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>for fun. That is the etiquette. We're here to enjoy.

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>If you think or you find that someone else's enjoyment

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>is infringing on your enjoyment, you have to go. You

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>have to go. I've learned my lesson the hard way.

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Some of my favorite mush pit experiences have been soured

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>by people getting annoyed at me for having too much fun.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Shut up, it's not nice. Just be sorry to you,

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'll fight you, so don't try it.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.520
