0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. It's

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms on CATA again. We're running over time.

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 3>We just love talking to each other off air about

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 3>slacious things. Here's the podcast.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Mummay can I listen to Flex and Brooms Flex and

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Rooms on CATA.

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Last week I went on a little bit of a

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 3>rant some would say about subletting. I've considered subletting my

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>room on little tiny going away moments, like when I

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 3>go to Melbourne for a month at a time. I'm thinking, damn,

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I could be saving.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>A couple k here.

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 3>However, I don't do it because I'm scared. I think

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>it's gross. We posted a video on the internet about

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 3>me going on this rant and as a result, we

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 3>got this voice memo that Mikayla, our producer, is going

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 3>to play Please hit It DJ.

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 5>I used to live in London and I subleted my

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 5>room to a girl while I went on a two

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 5>month long holiday through Europe. My housemates says she literally

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 5>didn't leave the room for the whole two months. She

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 5>had a viral chest and infection. She let all of

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 5>my plans die and she's to have full blown parties

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 5>in my room. It was so bizarre. My room was

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 5>literally the size of a shoe box. She haggled me

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 5>down on the price of the rent while I was away,

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 5>and it took her two months after I came home

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.279
<v Speaker 5>home for her to pay me. When I got home,

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 5>I realized that the room hadn't been cleaned at all.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 5>The room was stale. I could smell the stench of

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 5>parties to come and god knows whatever else. Also, my

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 5>sheets were literally crusty. It was honestly traumatizing.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, and that is what threw me. Ona

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 4>was warning you about who came to her neck.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Seriously, guys, this is just one of the multiple horror

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 3>stories that I've heard about the subletting community.

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Not the community. You just can't trust them.

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 3>This is why we need when it comes to living

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 3>spaces and arrangements contracts fan because people get a little

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 3>too comfortable, especially when they don't have to do the

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 3>cleaning up.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 4>If you'd limit your subletting too, friends or mutual friends,

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 4>or people who in some way feel accountable to you,

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 4>as opposed to just casting the net wide and letting

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 4>anyone who you know shows you a morsel of interest

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 4>live in your sanctuary.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Definitely desperate times though the cost of livery crisis as

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 3>we know.

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Thank you Frooms is out there, babes. This is what

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 4>happens when you're outside. I don't know if you're across

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 4>Flex on Instagram, it's Flex speaking, but sometimes third person helps,

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 4>just for the message to go down Sweeter, I've definitely

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 4>turned a page in my life at the moment.

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I've moved states.

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I've got a new lust for life, a joi de vivram. Outside.

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 4>The outfits are better, I'm prettier, like I'm getting nearer.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 4>It's just everybody's noticed. It's not a personal thing. It's

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 4>been said to me. Consequence of getting near it, being

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 4>outside is now I'm exposed to social situations that I

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 4>haven't been exposed to before, in a new space, and

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm a bit confused. What I mean by that is

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 4>someone trying to fight me. How do you mean Have

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 4>I ever been in a fight before. Let's get a

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 4>show of hands. If you think I've been in a fight,

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 4>like a physical fight for hands hands, it's both hands up,

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 4>both hands up. Mikayla Jordan, I've never been in a

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 4>fight before, and that's the benefit of being a speaker

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 4>and having serious hectic energies. People don't want to mess

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 4>with me. You don't want to do it. I would

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 4>be scared to mess with me.

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>You've never been physical, literally never.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, I didn't rock with sisters, so that's what I'm saying,

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 4>different energy with the youngest of two older brothers. There

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 4>was nothing for me to fight. I have been protected

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.519
<v Speaker 4>my whole life, not by my two brothers, by my mum,

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 4>and by.

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>The Spirit of Jesus. Hello Jah, listen you we me.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>I like it fucking so.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 4>I had the best weekend. I was here, there, and everywhere.

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 4>Is that a hard core show at night? The next day,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 4>I just had a hard course show in the day,

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 4>went to lunch, and then with the same big group

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 4>of people, we decided to go to a very popular

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>bar or it's a dinner restaurant.

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Established you.

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 4>This is not a club. I need you to know.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 4>It is a bar that serves food sometimes. So me

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 4>and my people we roll in maybe like six or

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 4>seven eight deep, and we go and stand to wait

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 4>in the bar line. Because we're so far back from

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 4>the front of the line. We're not diligently and militantly

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 4>standing you know, right behind the person because there's a

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 4>little while to go. So we're kind of nosing about

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 4>and chit chatting, and I feel someone nudge past me

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 4>on the side closest to the bar, and so I'm

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 4>assuming they're just kind of walking past, so I move

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 4>out to let them sidle over, you know, more efficiently,

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 4>and they kind of stop there, and so I'm like, oh, sorry, babe,

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 4>like I'm waiting in line as well. And this person says,

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 4>can I just walk through? And I was like, oh, so, oh,

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 4>my bad, So sorry I thought you were. I thought

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 4>you didn't realize I was also.

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Waiting in line.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 4>That's all good, you can walk through, she says, okay, great.

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 4>I said, okay, cool. So I turned back around to

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 4>continue the conversation and realize she's still there because she's

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 4>with her boyfriend who's quite tall. So I turned back

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 4>around and I say, hey, like, I don't think you understood.

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm also waiting in line, but we're in one big group,

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 4>so you can like stand next to us, but we're

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 4>also waiting in line.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>She turns around.

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 4>With like the most serious scout on her face and

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 4>says I'm good, thank you. Oh, I said, what is

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 4>going on? And I'm in a great mood. Mind you,

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm vibes a art. We're chit chatting and to me,

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 4>it's not that deep. So in front of her to

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 4>her left, and in front of her to her right,

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 4>there are two separate pairs of women. The pair on

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 4>the left turns around and says to her that girl

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>me was waiting here. The pusher in and says, was

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 4>I asking you? Was I talking to you? The energy's

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 4>feral woo. Now, at the exact same time, I get

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 4>a tap on my shoulder to the right of a

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 4>young woman who says, I'm such a big fan of you.

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm a huge fan. I'm so sorry about my friend.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 4>She's an angry drunk oh okay, and says it loud

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 4>enough that her friend can hear, which is now it's

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 4>muddled the situation up, for better or or worse. Anyone

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 4>can imagine if your friend takes the side of a

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 4>random stranger over you and then puts you on blust

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 4>it's never gonna feel good. So while this friend has

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 4>been like, I'm such a fan, I'm a big fan,

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, this second group of girls in front who

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 4>noticed that I was there to turn around and say, hey,

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 4>she was standing she being me was standing there waiting

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.239
<v Speaker 4>in line, you should move. And then the girl says

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 4>if this, I don't need this anyway and kind of

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 4>sidles over but doesn't really move out of the line,

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 4>so she's now cut in front of someone else. So

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 4>her friend is still talking to me, and she was like,

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm really really sorry, and the two girls

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 4>that were in front of the two pairs turn around.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And say, no, hey, baby, are you okay?

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Like that was really hectic, and I'm just like on

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 4>cloud died. I'm like, oh, I don't it's whatever, Like

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm fine, I think it's good. I think I don't

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 4>think they had anything to do with me.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Really.

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 4>The girl that was king not cranked her head around

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 4>her friend and she's like, don't pretend you don't know

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 4>what's happening.

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you, I'm talking to you. Yeah, you to you

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>to me.

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 4>She says, you're the one who said I was cutting

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 4>in and I wasn't, so yeah, I'm talking to you.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh oh, baby's first altercation. I mean, I've been waiting

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 4>for this one. I said, Babe, you've caught me on

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 4>a good day. I'm not even mad, I said, yeah,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 4>it was me. Now she's pissed because why am I smiling?

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 4>I said, I'm not even in a bad mood. Baby,

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 4>you need to relax. She's asked, Oh, anyway, get my drink.

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 4>Move out of the line. I'm standing in a thoroughfare

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 4>in the doorway. She walks, passing the way out. You're

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 4>such an ef and bitch. Are we still doing this?

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Flex?

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I said, what is happening? We go outside?

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>They don't. I haven't stopped. We go outside to sit down.

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>It's busy. All the tables are packed.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Somebody sees me notices and they're like, we're about to

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 4>get up, do you want to come sit down?

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Amazing.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 4>About half an hour later, the end of our picnic

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 4>table kind of clears out, and so then the girl

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 4>that was aarking up comes with her friends, and her

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 4>friend that was a fan sits right next to me.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't realize because.

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 4>My back is I'm like on the outskirts of our

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 4>friend configuration. I'm on the very end, so my back

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 4>is inwards towards my friend. Then I noticed that the

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 4>girl who was a fan is talking to my friend

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 4>who's sitting opposite me.

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>So I turn around. I'm like, what is oh?

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 4>I not feeling thinking much of it. After about ten minutes,

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 4>I noticed the girl was aarking up is opposite me.

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 4>She's like looking just staring me down anyway. She outstretches

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 4>her hand over the table.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>What's gonna go on?

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Taps me tap tap tap. She says, babe, can we

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 4>squash the beef?

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Osh ah?

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, seriously, babe, it's all good. Beckons me to

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 4>give her my hand, so now we're holding hands. She says, Honestly,

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 4>let's just squash the beef. Like you know, I didn't

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 4>mean for it to go that far. I'm like, it's chill.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 4>You wanted to drink. I wanted to drink. It's not

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 4>a big deal. She's like, no, Honestly, you handled that

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 4>so well. She says to me, you're such a good girl.

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 4>You handled that so well. I was like, it's all good.

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 4>She said, are you fine? Can we squash it? I said,

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 4>it's honestly, it's fine. Weirdest experience ever. I don't know,

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 4>so weird. Speculated about what was happening in so many ways,

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 4>but I don't think it's worthwhile. As tense as it was,

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 4>it was bewildering. Before I realized things was an issue,

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh, oh, we're in something. I didn't

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 4>even know the doorway situation. I was like, oh, damn,

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 4>I really got to you. I didn't even know.

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And that was worse because she's mid beefing with me,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, aha, I love Melvine, I love you.

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 4>Thankfully She's okay, she hit you up in the damns

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 4>or anything? No, but I think she embarrassed her friend.

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.079
<v Speaker 4>And I think her friend might have hit her with

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 4>a check the CV, and I think that humbled her

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 4>a little bit.

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was gathering from it, which I hate

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>even more. Yeah, you know, it is what it is.

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Reap. Glad you survived. H Oh you didn't resort to violence.

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Never couldn't say the same on myself.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm a words girl.

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kaita Taylor Swold

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 4>anounced a new collaboration with Ice Spice, brand new rapper

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 4>pumping hits out for Days. It's of her song Calma

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Not sure if you're familiar.

0:09:54.040 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>No, Mamma, is your boyfriend? Okay? Apparently that was now

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>in the coffin for a lot of people. You see.

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 4>What's happened is Taylor Swift has recently broken up with

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 4>her partner of six years, and that was a very

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 4>low key relationship.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't really publicized at all.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 4>They weren't really seen out together that much from what

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 4>I understand, his name was Joe. As soon as the

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 4>breakup was announced, she was then rumored to be dating

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 4>Maddi heally.

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that overlap? Not quite sure. Let the girl live.

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 4>We don't know her intimate details, but the issue is

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Matti Heely is a controversial character. He is a bit

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 4>of a contrarian, an antagonist, a bit of an instigator,

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 4>sometimes crosses the line, says things that are racist, sexist,

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 4>and he recently made some comments about Ice Spice that

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:46.079
<v Speaker 4>were like imitated a Chinese accent, like speculated about where

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 4>she was from, made jokes about her appearance. All of

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 4>these things just not great. Coincidentally, not long after, Taylor

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 4>Swift announces a collaboration with Ice Spice, after her fans

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 4>had asked her, or at least questioned her, implored her

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 4>to come forward and say and confirm if she's dating

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 4>this controversial man. People speculate that she's using Ice Spice

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 4>woman of color, to almost be the shield that protects

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 4>her from the backlash of dating this problematic character. If

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Ice Spice still wants to work with me, then is

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 4>it really that big of a deal. I think it

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 4>also puts Ice Spice in this weird position to now

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 4>have to say something and defend her bag chasery, or

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 4>to align with someone who has inadvertently and also up

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 4>front disrespected her.

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>It's all just too much. Here's the thing.

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Taylor's rebranded herself as a person who speaks up.

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>After the docum documentary.

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 4>There's the whole thing about speaking up, making sure you're

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 4>on the right side of history. And now when push

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 4>comes to shove, sis is unspeakably quiet. There is a

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 4>ton of reasons why I imagine taylors which won't speak

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 4>up about this, but I think for the most part,

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 4>there's not much you can say. When internet vitriol starts.

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 4>These things spin out of control, regardless of way, whether

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 4>you jump in with an apology at the start or

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 4>the end. I also think it is a wake up

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 4>call for some of Taylor's parasocial fans to realize that

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 4>outside of being your favor, she's just a regular person.

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, she is. Fortunately and unfortunately.

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 3>He and Mattie Healy actually dating.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, how do we even know? You know, they've been

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 4>seeing holding hands together. He's taking Louis Duffel bags to

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 4>her house at eleven pm. We could say they're getting

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 4>near it. But let's not speculate, or shall we? Sure?

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the speculation has begun, begun, It's begun, whether

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 4>she is or she isn't. It is, as what often

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 4>happens when men and women are involved in dual controversy.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.599
<v Speaker 1>It seems like it's her crust to bear. That's what

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say. How do you want to

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>say it?

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Also, I believe that she the Ice Spice colab came

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 3>out before this.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they mean they take a while, so they take ages.

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is just it's happened at the same time.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, coincidentally, who knows as.

0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 3>An honorary member of gen Z, some would say oscillating

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 3>between Boomer and gen Z with ease and Grace beendulums Swingingha.

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>What's this COMPLEXI.

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm more of the my here we are, Damn Daniel.

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I was on the internet the other day and I

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 3>haven't upon a clip by some sort of police body

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 3>and they were saying this, please play the tape, Mickey B.

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 3>The younger generation need three times a week praise from

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 3>their supervisors. The next generation only needs three times a year,

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 3>and my generation only need once a year.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that banter or this?

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 3>This is a this is a press conference, but is it?

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Is it banter?

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's banter or not, but this

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 3>is a superintendent style kind of person is coming out

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.839
<v Speaker 3>on the record to say that gen Z needs three

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 3>times more reassurance than quote unquote our generation millennials, Like

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 3>is it better to be the youngest millennial or the

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 3>oldest millennial? Because for so long we were very cool

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 3>having older friends. All of a sudden, why do I

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 3>want twenty four year old friends?

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Mikayla, why do you want twenty four year old friends?

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 5>She's over the.

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Hill, Nah, I will say, I really, do you.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Think having younger friends is having the adverse effect? Like

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 4>you might think it's making you seem younger, but it's

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 4>actually oh not, Jordan's like, m it's actually having adverse

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 4>effect and making it glaringly obvious that you're old and drieder.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you really feel since Wow, I haven't.

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Even made my point yet.

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's hydrate.

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Guys, believe it or not, Apparently jen Z need more,

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 3>do you uragement? I agree from my own personal experience.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I was raised in a lot of praise, words of

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 3>afformation my love language, and you know what, there's I

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 3>have heard.

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>About this anecdotally.

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I was having a conversation the other day with someone

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 3>saying that they need a lot of praise in order

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 3>to want to show up and do the work the

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 3>actual way they.

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Get paid for. Don't get a twisted Yeah, I think that.

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps maybe gen Z need praise as permission to begin,

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 4>and then millennials need praise as permission to keep giving

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 4>above what is required as a baseline.

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know them.

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 3>They're like, oh, that is too much. Nah, I'm sick

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 3>of talking on behalf of boomers.

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Let them live, you know.

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.280
