Speaker 2: It is Friday as someone who is really cemented in
Speaker 2: her tgif era, happy to be here, happy to be
Speaker 2: not here?
Speaker 3: Am I right?
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people listening will relate to this experience.
Speaker 1: It is making friends and scaring people. How to make
Speaker 1: friends who influence and scare people? On Facebook Marketplace Akay,
Speaker 1: the best app on Earth. Let's get to it. This
Speaker 1: is Flex and Frooms on KAITA.
Speaker 2: Question of the day. Would you let your uber go
Speaker 2: into a car wash after the trip has been started?
Speaker 3: Yes? Or no? Can we get a raise of hands?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: And see people think that I am the mean one
Speaker 3: at this show.
Speaker 1: Karen is the term.
Speaker 2: No, they don't think I'm a Karen. They think I'm
Speaker 2: a bitch. However, I think being a Karen's worse.
Speaker 3: Than the long term.
Speaker 1: For sure, bitch.
Speaker 3: In the short term. It's situational.
Speaker 2: However, It's something that I did do on It was
Speaker 2: a pleasant Wednesday morning. I was coming from Melbourne to Sydney.
Speaker 2: I got into my Uber and almost immediately the uber
Speaker 2: driver says to me, picking you up in this ride
Speaker 2: is both a good luck charm and a bad luck
Speaker 2: charm and as.
Speaker 3: A spooky girl. I said, we'll talk to me, bro,
Speaker 3: what's going on?
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to do this thing where I'm like
Speaker 2: present in situations with strangers who aren't my people. So
Speaker 2: he says picking me up in this ride was both
Speaker 2: good luck and bad luck. I said, talk to me, king,
Speaker 2: what's going on. He said, well, it's good luck. It's
Speaker 2: going to be a long ride. I'm talking about ninety
Speaker 2: bucks everyone no chip, not in this country. But then
Speaker 2: he said it's bad luck because for about thirty five minutes,
Speaker 2: I was waiting in line at the car wash and
Speaker 2: I had to choose between picking you up or letting
Speaker 2: you go because I was next in line.
Speaker 3: I said, so what did you end up doing. He's liked, well,
Speaker 3: look at the look at the windscreen.
Speaker 2: It's dirty. I picked you up in stay and I said, oh,
Speaker 2: that's a shame. I'm sorry. He's like, well, you know,
Speaker 2: I said huh. He's like, well, you're not scared of
Speaker 2: car washes, are you? The way he framed that, the
Speaker 2: way he friended that. I said, no, I'm not scared
Speaker 2: of a car wash. He's like, well, we could just
Speaker 2: drive past the car wash and see if it's empty.
Speaker 2: And I was like, you really want a clean car,
Speaker 2: don't you. He's like, yeah, my car's dirty. I don't
Speaker 2: like the way it looks like. I think it affects
Speaker 2: the way that I drive, Like I'm trying to provide
Speaker 2: a really good service. And I'm like, look, we can
Speaker 2: drive past the car wash and if nobody's there, we
Speaker 2: can go into the car wash. She's like, you sure
Speaker 2: don't do that, king, don't ask me quite.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 2: So we're driving, driving, driving. He's looking at me in
Speaker 2: the rear view trying to do jokes. It's gone too
Speaker 2: far now. I'm thinking that I consent to you kidnapping me,
Speaker 2: because it feels like that currently it feels like I've
Speaker 2: said yes.
Speaker 3: While that's tapping the uber dash, She's like, out of
Speaker 3: bound bounds? Will wi will out of the zone.
Speaker 2: Out of the zone, please turn around, And he's liked,
Speaker 2: don't worry about that.
Speaker 1: I don't worry. Like, okay, cool.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we get to the car wash. He does a
Speaker 2: loop loop and thankfully for him and I'm the car
Speaker 2: wash is available to use.
Speaker 3: I thought it'd be.
Speaker 2: Just one of those chill go in get your car
Speaker 2: washed whatever. It's now a manual and automatic. So someone's
Speaker 2: doing like a pre wash, a manual pre wash. We're
Speaker 2: going in it's automatic. They're like, oh, do you want
Speaker 2: to do an upsell and get your car wax?
Speaker 1: He's looking back at me. I'm looking at him.
Speaker 3: I said, King, we've now added fifteen to the trip.
Speaker 1: Fifteen.
Speaker 3: He's like, you know what I'll do.
Speaker 2: I won't go through the tunnel on the way, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, we need the tunnel for speed, okay, And
Speaker 2: so the whole trip he begins to talk about how
Speaker 2: He's like, I think you're my good luck charm. I
Speaker 2: said enough, And that's how you bamboozle from inside the car,
Speaker 2: because had he not a reverse psychology made and be
Speaker 2: like you're not scared?
Speaker 3: Are you? He knew he was talking to He knew
Speaker 3: I wouldn't back down from it. Are you scared?
Speaker 2: And also I think he was aware that the discomfort
Speaker 2: of saying no and having him complain the whole ride
Speaker 2: was far worse and just being like, let's go to
Speaker 2: the car wash.
Speaker 3: Carl was nice.
Speaker 2: So I get it, Tesla, no bam, no comment. Okay,
Speaker 2: you don't want to out him yeah, no, you don't
Speaker 2: even try and find him. That's my king.
Speaker 1: Did you give him a five star? No?
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I think I dull don't know. I think I've done enough.
Speaker 2: I really think I've cranked it and pushed it. And
Speaker 2: that's the issue of being someone who's trying to be
Speaker 2: a better person. Where are my boundaries? I said, you
Speaker 2: know what, let's just do it, because I thought to myself,
Speaker 2: I'm actually quite indifferent. I wasn't in a really because
Speaker 2: because they're waiting for you in Caita. But honestly, I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm indifferent personally. I don't like the feeling
Speaker 2: of being rushed. I don't want to be in a
Speaker 2: forty five fifty minute car ride with someone who's pissed off,
Speaker 2: like whatever, do what you need to do. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is more embarrassing for you than it is for me.
Speaker 2: And it made a funny story.
Speaker 1: And yet if a tree falls and forced and no
Speaker 1: one's out a seed, it didn't fall. Pop Culture you
Speaker 1: missed with Flex.
Speaker 3: And froomes on.
Speaker 1: We don't talk about Kanye West very much on this show,
Speaker 1: but we did talk I think when he married Biancher Sinsori,
Speaker 1: who was an Australian woman. Whenever I see articles about them,
Speaker 1: it's like married in inverted commas, because they don't actually
Speaker 1: know if they're married. But the other day I was
Speaker 1: on a website and I saw a photo of them
Speaker 1: out together and she is wearing the most wildest outfit
Speaker 1: where she's like wearing a sock over her head and
Speaker 1: a big black like it's avant garde, I guess, but
Speaker 1: they're like out at the playground. And I think people
Speaker 1: always seem to like put photos of Kanye's outfits thinking
Speaker 1: that they're wild. They have since like the early Kim days.
Speaker 1: And I was reading these conspiracy theories and apparently it's
Speaker 1: because I mean, is it a conspiracy theory? I think
Speaker 1: a friend told me.
Speaker 3: So, you weren't reading.
Speaker 1: I was talking at this point, is pure And they
Speaker 1: were saying that apparently these kind of like disguises started
Speaker 1: happening because people were saying that she looks like Pete.
Speaker 3: Davidson so literally so, and that he's concealing her face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but surely that's not No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: And also I'm not very moved by these outlandish outfits
Speaker 2: because it feels like Kanye is doing rinse and repeat,
Speaker 2: like he did this with Kim he did this with
Speaker 2: Julia Fox, He's doing this with bi Ancher. It feels
Speaker 2: like a very like low hanging fruit. I think he knows.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: It's in the.
Speaker 2: Sense that, like Kanye, say what you want about him
Speaker 2: attention like grabber, he really wants the attention by any
Speaker 2: means necessary, And at one point it was due to
Speaker 2: his creative prowess. But I think he got to a
Speaker 2: certain point where he felt as though he was at
Speaker 2: his peak and he wasn't being regarded as such. You know,
Speaker 2: that kind of friction between thinking you're the best and
Speaker 2: not being validated as such, or not loving your work
Speaker 2: and people loving it, or the kind of like Kanye
Speaker 2: is the goat, coming ten years after the album dropped,
Speaker 2: and so I feel like now he's in this, Like
Speaker 2: he says that he really loves Edward Bennet's the godfather
Speaker 2: of pr and stunts and all of these things for
Speaker 2: how he was able to turn the everyday mundane into
Speaker 2: a performance and this art of drawing attention at any
Speaker 2: time when you want it and not when as opposed
Speaker 2: to being at the helm of when someone's going to
Speaker 2: grant you this attention.
Speaker 1: I thought that he didn't want the attention, am I
Speaker 1: just like blind? Has he got anything to write right now? Well?
Speaker 3: I think that's the thing. Like I think he wants
Speaker 3: the attention.
Speaker 2: I think he's just having a play at how he
Speaker 2: gets it and seeing how nonsensical and how little effort
Speaker 2: he has to put in to get more than the
Speaker 2: attention that he got when he was breaking his back.
Speaker 2: I think he's constantly making a mockery of celebrity in
Speaker 2: a way that I think he's kind of not He's
Speaker 2: not coming unscathed. Like while he's making his mockery, he's
Speaker 2: been made of mockery of.
Speaker 1: But maybe he's thinking I always have even when I'm amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe it's that I was listening the other day to
Speaker 1: Poop Did this goop?
Speaker 3: Did he woop woop this groop dee poop?
Speaker 1: Now that was genius, Let's be real. Because he didn't
Speaker 1: want Is it that he didn't want Drake to use
Speaker 1: the be obsessed?
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a hilarious king Hettie obsessed.
Speaker 1: I am currently in the middle of decking out an
Speaker 1: entire apartment top to tail from Facebook Marketplace. I pride
Speaker 1: myself on having an amazing skill of finding the best
Speaker 1: bargains and the best designer weares. A few years ago,
Speaker 1: I bought a couch. Not a few years No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going through the disco. A couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Bought a premium four thousand dollars leather couch for four
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Okay, big thick boy, always get a compoint
Speaker 1: when they come in. Secondly, bought a custom made day
Speaker 1: bed with full storage, sweet and a beautiful comfy top
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: Amazing.
Speaker 1: Bought an incredible sideboard that gets a comment every time.
Speaker 1: Would be worth two thousand dollars four hundred bucks. N
Speaker 1: been in every house I've been in side tables, chrome glass,
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. Like anything you can think of in
Speaker 1: my house that is cool is secondhand, which we love
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. But I'm currently in the process of
Speaker 1: selling off some.
Speaker 3: Oh how are you selling them off?
Speaker 2: You letting people come to your abode, because that's what
Speaker 2: gets me about selling these days, I can't do that.
Speaker 2: It's had one too many run ins and not run
Speaker 2: into when they get there, run ins when they leave.
Speaker 2: When I talk about that uber who was like I
Speaker 2: won't to tell anyone where you live. Oh, can't be trusted.
Speaker 1: The person in the adult store saying, what's your name?
Speaker 1: Give me your full name?
Speaker 3: Girl's Sindy.
Speaker 1: So how's this?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: My name on Facebook is a pseudonym. It's quite a
Speaker 1: hilarious pseudonym. I won't tell you what it is because
Speaker 1: it defeats the purpose I should do that. You sure,
Speaker 1: I do you have? Do you even have Facebook?
Speaker 3: I don't have you, I don't use it, but I
Speaker 3: have it.
Speaker 1: You have it? Okay. The issue with having quite a
Speaker 1: hilarious pseudonym, as I do with a different profile picture
Speaker 1: totally anonymous, is that people think that I'm not a
Speaker 1: real person on Facebook. It's proves to be quite an
Speaker 1: issue when I'm bidding for hot ticket items. Then I've
Speaker 1: had to start writing, by the way, my name is
Speaker 1: x y Z. Also not Lucinda, but something of the
Speaker 1: like Lucille or something I say every time. By the way,
Speaker 1: my name is Lucille. I'm a real person, Lucille. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not even Lucille, but it's something like that, like
Speaker 1: something to Certain people will say hey Lucy, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: they're talking.
Speaker 3: Do you say by the way I'm a real person.
Speaker 2: I say, by the way, it's just a bie.
Speaker 1: And it actually ends up being quite a few funny
Speaker 1: conversations because it's kind of like a drag.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a community.
Speaker 1: So what I've done, though, is I've started selling stuff
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to see the other side. Not fun.
Speaker 1: Annoying it is because sometimes I'll be like, well, do
Speaker 1: you have this to go do?
Speaker 3: Half cash, half card? And is it possible if my
Speaker 3: friend comes like and.
Speaker 1: Facebook needs to stop the automatic message being is this
Speaker 1: still available? I'm having a nips fam get them. So
Speaker 1: now I'm realizing how bloody and all you need to try
Speaker 1: and sell stuff. I'm trying to sell. I'm giving away
Speaker 1: a free mid century modern death and don't need it.
Speaker 1: I'm also selling a frosted dark glass MCM coffee table.
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic look.
Speaker 3: Tell me why.
Speaker 1: I get a message from someone called x y Z
Speaker 1: and then a last name that I recognize okay, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, that sounds like a hot guy.
Speaker 2: So I gosh, you got to see what the people are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I clean on the profile. Why is
Speaker 1: it Zig's mum? Oh she is a TikToker. She delile. No,
Speaker 1: she wants to. I asked her last night.
Speaker 3: She wants to be at it.
Speaker 1: She did this for condown because I get this like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I pick this up? And I replied her to
Speaker 1: a besh and she sees it. She's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what's happening. And then I send her a selfie so
Speaker 1: tomorrow she just picking out my mid century modern size
Speaker 1: per fifty dollars. But you're up having this conversation about
Speaker 1: how her name is obviously also different on Facebook. I
Speaker 1: only realized because her face she's put the normal Facebook profile.
Speaker 1: The only reason she's put her face back on is
Speaker 1: her profile picture was a picture of her dog looking
Speaker 1: dead like the dog is like. She's like, I've been
Speaker 1: where you've been, girls, I mean just bonded over like
Speaker 1: having these ridiculous Facebook names, So I need to change
Speaker 1: my face. People be lurking, and if you're going to
Speaker 1: be selling some MCM goods, some qutis are going to
Speaker 1: be popping into the inbox. So I'll give you the
Speaker 1: full house Feld when I deck it fully.
Speaker 3: Out with FB.
Speaker 1: My god, way, but I'm so exciting you're listening to
Speaker 1: flex and frooms on Kita listen.
Speaker 2: We gotta listen to DM that was asking us about
Speaker 2: normal things we find embarrassing. One that I used to
Speaker 2: but don't double triple texting. If I got someone to say,
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it. Do you know why?
Speaker 3: Because I started doing this thing where I.
Speaker 2: Look at the message threads of me and my closest
Speaker 2: friends as a stranger. You know, when you like zoom
Speaker 2: out for a little bit and you're like, what would
Speaker 2: somebody say? It's one of like three things. One we
Speaker 2: hate each other, one we're obsessed with each other, and one.
Speaker 3: We're in love.
Speaker 2: Because you know, like if I text for me and
Speaker 2: she doesn't respond, I'm gonna text it again and again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not stressed.
Speaker 1: At all, but that's like a low. We know we're
Speaker 1: going to see each other.
Speaker 2: But even so, realistically, if you had texted me four
Speaker 2: times in two weeks and you hadn't seen me, I
Speaker 2: had to respond it, I'd be like, it's fine. No
Speaker 2: part of we would think there's an issue happening, or
Speaker 2: my head would go benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 3: She's busy. Wasn't that funny you caught her.
Speaker 2: At a bad time. Whatever it might, it's like I'm
Speaker 2: just not concerned about it. If I send you a
Speaker 2: meme and you don't respond, I'm not stressed.
Speaker 1: We reply to each other with in minutes.
Speaker 2: Though to be fair, it's true, but we aren't that.
Speaker 2: But also being on the receiving end of receiving a text,
Speaker 2: thinking about replying, not replying, and then forgetting about it.
Speaker 2: I love a double text bringing back up to some
Speaker 2: of the embOS, please cause it gets too far down.
Speaker 2: I'm not scrolling through eye message. It's gonpit bumper. Sometimes
Speaker 2: eating in front of people a hundred percents, like depending
Speaker 2: on what the food is, I get like paranot about
Speaker 2: like my how I'm holding cutlery, how it's going into
Speaker 2: my mouth?
Speaker 3: How do you think I feel my mouth?
Speaker 1: How do you think I feel eating with a nice
Speaker 1: sandwich with the knock and fork? Yeah, And people always
Speaker 1: ask me questions leaping out of question my own reasons,
Speaker 1: but I care not to share. I get embarrassed.
Speaker 3: Do you mean embarrassed to eat? What kind of world?
Speaker 1: You know? It sounds like if I'm eating chocolate and
Speaker 1: like everyone's on their health kick and they're trying to
Speaker 1: shame me like baites. You don't know the half of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like me working in office getting hot chips every day.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like again, I'm like, yeah again, shut up, honestly,
Speaker 2: let me live, Like just feel good that I'm doing that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I think crossing the road can be a bit embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Like when I go for walks, I try and go
Speaker 2: with the traffic. So in Australia, I want to walk
Speaker 2: on the left hand side of the road so I'm
Speaker 2: not seeing cars drive up as I'm walking towards them.
Speaker 1: See. I like that because I prefer people to see
Speaker 1: me on the front because it's more embarrassing for people
Speaker 1: to see at the back.
Speaker 3: Really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know when people are like you know when
Speaker 1: you take a video of yourself walking away and you
Speaker 1: realize that's what you look like from the back.
Speaker 2: Never so we've got walking eating.
Speaker 1: See important to know that the girls are suffering.
Speaker 2: It's the crossing the road that gets me because you
Speaker 2: have to ask so nonchalant about it, like just crossing.
Speaker 1: But you see, I'm yeah, off the phone, I always
Speaker 1: phone away. I'm to give you a little wave unless
Speaker 1: they give me, like if I'm crossing zebra crossing, right, Okay.
Speaker 1: I go through a period I'll give them a little something.
Speaker 1: Yet give them something. But if they look at me,
Speaker 1: I think you have to go. Aggression comes out. If
Speaker 1: they look at me and they have no smile in
Speaker 1: their face, I just flip a little bird.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like they can't see me, Like I
Speaker 2: have tinted windows, so I feel like people can't see
Speaker 2: what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm looking.
Speaker 3: Yeah you would.
Speaker 1: And if you have any more embarrassing things that are
Speaker 1: actually quite normal. For example, the Chicks sent in that
Speaker 1: she doesn't like holding an umbrella, Yeah, which I feel.
Speaker 1: Send them in. We want to all suffer together.
Speaker 3: Just layering actually is quite embarrassing. Flex when you layer
Speaker 3: clothes and like layer, it's like disrupted.
Speaker 1: Shut up. I was in my bag the other day
Speaker 1: in a good way, not in a sad way, thinking
Speaker 1: about the soundtrack of my life. I personally love making
Speaker 1: Spotify playlists. I've got three of them. The most public
Speaker 1: one is free Me Fridays. If you type in through
Speaker 1: me Fridays to Spotify, you'll find a playlist that's been
Speaker 1: liked almost three thousand times, which is incredible.
Speaker 3: Let's not rush over that. So good.
Speaker 1: She's not a DJ, though I have been a curator.
Speaker 1: And also people often think I'm a DJ just by
Speaker 1: virtue of my proximity to.
Speaker 2: Flexmummy and me being a comedian proximity proximity.
Speaker 1: Okay, we do it well. And I was thinking what
Speaker 1: would the soundtrack to my life be? This is actually
Speaker 1: quite a personal question, but my personal soundtrack song when
Speaker 1: I think about it, is this. Can I play it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Tell me if you guys know what this is? Is
Speaker 1: Outside by George Michael.
Speaker 3: Folks my add that to my plays.
Speaker 1: You never heard of that? I don't think you never
Speaker 1: heard that song.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Outside is my favorite song because I have a video
Speaker 1: of myself when I was about two in the bath
Speaker 1: and I'm singing it and then Dad walks he was
Speaker 1: singing it. I say, let's go outside in the moonshine,
Speaker 1: which is the lyrics. And also it's about George Michael
Speaker 1: getting quote unquote busted having public sex in a public bathroom.
Speaker 1: Are you guys across this when you got the police
Speaker 1: busted him?
Speaker 3: Two year old? Really written the papers across three?
Speaker 1: What is the Paper's a bit wet for me reading
Speaker 1: in the bar with my toys. So yeah, my song
Speaker 1: is Outside by George Michael. It's got almost like a
Speaker 1: Quincy Jones type element with a Jimi required beat is
Speaker 1: Oh my god, fantastic notes and I just love that
Speaker 1: it's about him. It's so self referential, starting with the
Speaker 1: choppers and the police because you're getting quiet in sex,
Speaker 1: like take back your public toilet. So that's my song?
Speaker 1: What's yours?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I have one? Well, I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't like go off the back of that.
Speaker 3: That was too much?
Speaker 1: Can I guess? For you? Yea Drake? Wow wow wow
Speaker 1: wow wow wow wow wowow.
Speaker 2: And for your depression era take care?
Speaker 3: What is my depression here? I don't know.
Speaker 1: When you're like deep in your bag?
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: That would be such a nice activity to pick twenty
Speaker 2: songs to build a playlist of your life and if
Speaker 2: you could think of key moments to go with the song.
Speaker 3: But I don't think I'm sentimental in that way.
Speaker 1: That's surprise.
Speaker 3: I want to be.
Speaker 2: I'm sentimental for like verbal experiences like you and I
Speaker 2: had a conversation and that was so funny. But I'm
Speaker 2: not really good at matching like sent to place, food
Speaker 2: to time.
Speaker 1: I think DJ just has you two ran through with honestly, it.
Speaker 3: Ruined music for me for a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why I was such a podcast bro,
Speaker 2: because I could still get the fix of being headphones on.
Speaker 3: But now I'm back on music.
Speaker 1: Good oning fan, Well yeah, okay, that's a fun activity
Speaker 1: for all flex and Films listeners. Go home, or when
Speaker 1: you get a chance, go to your preferred app. Pick
Speaker 1: twenty songs. I've got one myself that is not public,
Speaker 1: and sometimes I listened to it and I think, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: reminds me of specific time.
Speaker 3: It's amazing. DMS.
Speaker 2: You your soundtrack, Maybe not the whole thing unless it's
Speaker 2: really good, but key songs and the story to go with.
Speaker 3: I would love fun activities and some sa you've been
Speaker 3: listening to the flexen Froom's daily podcast.
Speaker 1: For more, tune Indicator on DAB or stream it on iHeartRadio.
