WEBVTT - The Diabolical Love Line That Had Flex Shook

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Flex and froods on Cata.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello, my love, lies. I hope you're strapped in. I

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>hope you're in a good mood.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I hope.

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Literally get the strap on, because we're going to be

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>talking about climate change. Don't leave, Do not leave because

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>we have opinions.

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 4>I have been told plenty of time that I can

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 4>make historically boring things sound interesting, and I think that

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 4>is true. This was a very interesting layer discussion about

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 4>all the issues. Not with climate change is a concept,

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 4>a concept. We can agree that it's climate change a conspiracy. No,

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 4>just with the conversation around it, hyperindividualized versus community efforts

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.239
<v Speaker 4>about you know, making the world a better place? Are

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 4>we too far gone? Where we always going to zoot

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:47.279
<v Speaker 4>into oblivion?

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Anyway?

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Does it matter if we get their three thousand years early?

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I think the operative word in this is that it

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>is hypotheticals, and I think it's a broader discussion about

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>individuality versus community and whether or not you need individuality

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>for community to work.

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, individual effort, yes, no, pray tell it's going to

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 4>be a juicy one. And look, it's a couple of minutes.

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 4>We can't get to the bottom of the what's the

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Is it the bottom of an iceberg?

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 5>There's a tit? What's the other side, the bottom of

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 5>the ocean?

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe?

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 4>Look, we just can't delve into every possible concept and

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 4>theory and idea And most importantly for.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Me, I don't like answers. I just like ideas. I

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>want an answer. I want to not die in three years.

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>That's my reason for living.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but if you really wanted to not die in

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 4>three years, you'd be joining my.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 5>I can't get into this. I can't get into it episode,

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 5>I promise.

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Okayay, this is flex and frooms.

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to tell you a little tiny story, so

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>if you can just close your eyes and open your ears,

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>this is the story about a man and a woman.

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 5>Which look, all my stories are about that. I see

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 5>you rolling your eyes again during Pride month.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 2>It has to start, okay, So the title of this

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 2>one is made a really bizarre rule at the start

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>of a relationship and now regretting it.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's get it. You know what, you Pretend you're like chill.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>We have all ever do that that goes into your

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>dating exactly.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Start with high maintenance.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 4>Pretend you're just this tyrannical freak and then like when

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 4>they find out you're just like an averagely high maintenance person.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 5>It's chill, pull it back, it's easy.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 3>So here we go.

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 5>My name's Amy. I'm a female twenty three.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, too many details.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Gey three year old Amy, let's go two year old Amy.

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>She has been dating her boyfriend for three point five years.

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 5>Her words.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 2>At the start of the relationship, we both liked each other,

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>weren't head over heels for one another, due to which

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>we made our relationship somewhat open. The relationship at the

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.399
<v Speaker 2>time wasn't serious, and honestly, we both thought it wouldn't last,

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 2>but would give it a shot. One rule we decided

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>on was that if we slept with somebody else, that

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the other partner would get a free pass to sleep

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>around that amount of time. We made this rule so

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>that we could try our best to see if this

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 2>relationship works or not. In a few months, I developed

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>major feelings for him, as one does, and the same.

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 5>Goes for him.

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>We never officially killed the rule. Today, at dinner time,

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I jokingly told my boyfriend how dumb we were at

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the start of the relationship to make such a stupid rule.

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 5>I saw him going from normal to extremely frazzled. Within seconds.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>He told me that he thought we were still in

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>an open relationship and that I had sixteen free pass

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>According to him, he did nothing wrong since we didn't

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>just otherwise.

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Have been racking them up to you for us.

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Literally, I think he cheated since we were in a

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>committed relationship a few months in. I feel sick to

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>my stomach right now thinking of what he has done.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 2>He's saying that he loves me and wants his relationship

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 2>to work, and that I can use my passes and

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 2>then we can close the relationship back up. I don't know.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to sleep with Randow's, but I also

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 2>want this relationship. But I'm also disgusted by my boot friend.

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>What should I do? Doesn't count as cheating? I love Amy, Yeah,

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm gross out. What a feral beast, but also I

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>love him.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>That's my man. I'm a stick beside him.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 5>She wants to know is this cheating?

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>And am I okay to be disgusted because she's in

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>a position.

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 5>We've all been there.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't believe me. No, no, no, no. If you've been there,

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>say so.

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 5>I haven't actually been there either. I'm just trying to relate.

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, got it.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Some people have been there where they find out that

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 2>a partner's cheating. They are disgusted in them, absolutely foul,

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>but they still love them, and it puts you really

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 2>between a rock and a hard place.

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 5>So do you think was he cheating?

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 3>No, it's miscommunication.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 5>This is a pretty diabolical miscommunication.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 4>What were you talking about for three and a half years,

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 4>we just didn't bring it back up, like things just

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 4>don't peter out. I mean, you entered the relationship with

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 4>a very specific dynamic, right.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 5>I feel like that would have been a couple of chats.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Being like, let's just be open ish, and then you

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 4>were just you continued being open with an extra layer

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 4>of intimacy that maybe made Amy think that they were monogamous,

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 4>which makes a lot of sense.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Is it cheating?

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 4>But it all goes back to if she feels it's cheating,

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 4>it's cheating. But I'm sure he could justify his way

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 4>out of it to be like no, no, no no, because

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 4>you said we were open. So if you if we're changed,

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 4>didn't you tell me? I feel like, right now she

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 4>just gotta have a conversation about like, so can we

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 4>be close? Like do you want to just be with

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 4>just me? But also I think for me personally, I'm

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 4>trying to imagine what I would do. I don't know

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 4>if I could come back from that. It's not just

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 4>the cheating, it's being on completely different pages. She's like

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 4>here being like me and my number one monogamous man

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 4>and laying is just us together, And he's like, that's

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 4>my amy.

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 3>We date.

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 5>But I'm dating Jesse and Becky and Shela and I

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 5>love them.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 4>That's hectic. I would just have too many questions and answers.

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't want the answers.

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 2>To I just say, dump him because if there was

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 2>nothing like the whole reason why open relationships exist is

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 2>for that reason. They are open, open channels of communication,

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>open channels of routing.

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 5>But they're twenty What do you mean they were twenty when.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>They had this chat, twenty three, they're twenty three now

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>dating for three and a half years. I don't think

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>you should be able to use your age as an excuse.

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 5>I think she got a dump in.

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms on Kita.

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 4>I do not trust people who get on the internet,

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 4>especially TikTok and have all these pipe dreams about how

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 4>to make money. Like people's one purpose is like, hey,

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 4>did you guys know that if you do this you

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 4>can make money? What is your end game? I don't

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 4>trust it anyway? So do you know did you ever

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 4>watch teen Mums when you're in high school?

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Farah Adams Abrams Abrams but close.

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 4>So she was the ogten mum and that would have

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 4>been almost fifteen years ago, if not maybe about ten.

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 4>And she's been doing a lot of work to keep

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 4>herself relevant. She is pretty much always in the tabloid's

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 4>the press for doing something inane. But this she might

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 4>have taken a bit too fast. So she uploaded a

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 4>story or a TikTok or something video esque to social

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 4>media where she's sitting, she's standing in the bathroom and

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 4>she is alluding to essentially jarring up a vial of

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 4>her thesis to sell online. And so people were like, Okay,

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 4>this is a bit fun, and she was just like,

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 4>you know what, in social media, you have to do

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 4>what you need to do to like stay irrelevant, and

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, starting conversations is really important, and blah blah

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 4>blah blah, Like you don't know what market I have

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 4>for this, don't judge me. And it was like a

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 4>one minute video clip of her being like, so she's

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 4>kind of like turning her bum towards the camera, wearing

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 4>pants obviously, and just kind of gesturing to putting a

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 4>vial behind her and like sitting on it and being

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 4>like afterwards, I'm gonna, you know, put the lid on,

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 4>and I'm gonna sell it and.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Whatever turns out.

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Though it was all elaborate ruse because her and her

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>daughter have come out.

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>With pooh slime.

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh genius, that's great. I think that's genius. So it's

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 4>I can show you here. It looks like it's kind

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 4>of like in a maple syrup type of bottle that's

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 4>like bubbly like the poop emoji, and it says poop

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 4>by Sarah Abram poopy slime. I don't know what it's

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 4>meant to smell like. I don't know what it's meant

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 4>to be like. I don't know how well it squirts.

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 4>I just know that it's a brown colored slime. I

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 4>don't know if she'll make any money from it. People

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 4>love slime. They're a slime millionaires, So I have no

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 4>doubt that there's some kind of market for it, and

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 4>she's probably peddling it to her daughter's fan base as well.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 5>Genius has a daughter.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Howld's her daughter?

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 4>She looks like a ten, she looks like a child.

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 5>But it's getting a bit of a cut. Come on, now,

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 5>well that's slime slime chat.

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 4>But again, there seems to be a very distinct theme

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 4>with all the ways I'm finding that you can become

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 4>a millionaire in twenty twenty two. And I don't know

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 4>if it's like the bar to mine half effect where

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 4>because I've opened the floodgates with making money through selling

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 4>your bodily fluids. Now they just find me because we've

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 4>done tears, tears.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 5>Far bath water. Pooh, what's next?

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 3>What is next?

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to talk about it on air. Ooh,

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 5>it's something else.

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 4>So the market is fair and wide, and I just

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 4>think that if you're trying to sell T.

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Shirts in twenty twenty two, you need to start good.

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Luck to try harder.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Flex and Frooms on Cada.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so me flex part time conspiracy theorists, but not

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 4>in the tinfoil hat way. In the I just like

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 4>talking about concepts I don't really care to believe them

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 4>the whole way, Like I'm not joining any conspiracy theorist

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 4>groups or doing rallies or like trying to make things

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 4>make sense. But one that I don't talk about enough

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 4>is predictive programming. You across it not okay. So it's

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 4>a theory that claims that the government or like the

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 4>elites are using fictional movies or fictional books as a

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 4>mass mind control tool to kind of plant ideas about

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 4>the future, so when it happens, they're really used to it.

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 4>So you might have noticed around twenty twelve there was

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 4>that conspiracy theory that the mind calendars of the world

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 4>was going to end, and there were all these apocalypse movies.

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 4>There was contagion that prepared everyone for this idea of

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.839
<v Speaker 4>a mass pandemic.

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 5>But still we didn't learn.

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so we were like, what was that one thing

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 4>they said?

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 3>The masks.

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, you'll also notice that when movies do get released,

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 4>or when popular when books become popular, there are certain

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 4>themes just keep cropping up. Like you know, we had

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years ago bird by a quiet place,

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 4>these monsters that hunted with sound.

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 3>What is that about?

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 4>You just all have these ideas at the same time.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Come on, now, come on now. Did you watch on

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.719
<v Speaker 4>Netflix this movie called Don't Look Up And it was

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 4>all over the homepage had Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer you'r Save

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Jennifer Lawrence, Timothy Shallow May. Don't Look Up is about

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 4>these two like average Joe, low level astronomers who realize

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 4>that there's this huge comet that's going to approach the

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 4>like it's approaching Earth and it's going to destroy things,

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 4>like cataclysmic event, the world is going to end, apocalyptic vibes,

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.079
<v Speaker 4>and so they start freaking out, like we got to

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 4>go tell someone.

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 3>And so the whole movie is about them first.

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Going to the president to be like, hey, there's a

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 4>media coming, and they're like, okay.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 5>Shush, that's like very bad vibes. Don't say that kind

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 5>of like not really good. It's not really a good

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 5>time for that.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 4>And so they go on this like media tour trying

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 4>to get people to listen to them, and what ends

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 4>up happening is that every time they're on a talk

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 4>show or speaking about what's going on, people think they

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 4>are just this lunatic, like hysterical bunch of people who

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 4>are trying to fear monger and nobody listens and plot twists,

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 4>the media hits and everybody dies.

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So if you actually miss that part of the film,

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>so people, everybody dies in the end.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so everybody watches that, we're like, well, that's really sad.

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 4>Let's turn that off.

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 5>Let's not do that.

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know if you've noticed, but for the

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 4>past I don't know, six months or so, so many

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 4>climate change activists have been.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.439
<v Speaker 5>Doing really hectic things to.

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Try and get our attention about like the current state

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 4>of the world.

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 5>You had the people.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Who recently in April parked their truck on the Harbor

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 4>Bridge to block traffic, because once you block traffic, it's

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 4>all over the news to talk about like the climate emergency.

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I missed that, you see.

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Then recently the French Open there was this woman who

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 4>tied herself to the nets, like the poles of the nets,

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 4>wearing a shirt that said, we have onenty twenty eight

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 4>days left and we need to do something drastically.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to fear manger, Okay, I'm also just

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 4>here for laughs and gags. However, I do think it's

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.479
<v Speaker 4>my civic duty amplify this message that they'll.

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 5>Wear out is.

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 4>No, but it's actually quite spooky. The exact format of

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 4>the movie is what's happening right now and has been

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 4>happening since, and people are not paying attention.

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 3>You know what.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I watched that movie and it wasn't fear mongering at all,

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>because that's literally what's happening.

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 5>But I think that's the point.

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 4>I think it comes across as fear mongering because people

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 4>will then say, well, for years like Nostra Dharma said

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 4>the world was going to end and it didn't, and

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 4>so and so said the world was going to end

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 4>and it didn't, and well had no climate change is real?

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Like this is just what happened. We've never been alive

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 4>in this time before. Maybe this is always what it

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 4>was going to be like in twenty twenty two, and

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 4>we're just freaking each other out for some mass agenda

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 4>that nobody knows about or is sure about. What the

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 4>elites and like the.

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 5>What would they get out of that?

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Though?

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure and I don't doubt you know, there

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 4>are tons of cooked things that are happening, and I

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 4>don't think that we operate in the right circles to

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 4>understand the benefit of any of these things that happen.

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure these conversations are meant to have like

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 4>a very clear cause and effect.

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I literally think that Australians now, especially considering how many

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>people voted for the Greens, are taking it seriously and

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really important to understand. There has been

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>conversations about climate change since the year two thousand in

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 2>terms of in pop culture.

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, weren't we in primary school They're like, we're in

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.359
<v Speaker 4>a drought before that water this time of the year.

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>We had Finding Nemo, which was all about the pollution

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 2>in the ocean, Like that's the year two thousand, So

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 2>you and I've grown up that we've grown up with

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>plastic in the ocean, like picking up plastic off the beach.

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>The drought, then the rains, the fires sounds like the

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Book of Revelation, it does.

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 4>I think that we have always been too far gone

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 4>for the amount of self sacrifice everybody would need to

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 4>do for things to change. I have no doubt the

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 4>big dogs and the six richest corporations in the world

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 4>were like, Okay, we totally get it, but if we

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 4>make these adjustments that we don't have money, do you

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 4>see the issue? And so they're probably like, okay, well

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 4>let's say we take the brunt, right, because I'm sure

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 4>the six largest corporations are like personalizing it. Well, fine,

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 4>we'll take the brunt. But then if we have to

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 4>take the brunt, what about everybody else? Who else is

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 4>pulling the weight? If we only have a finite amount

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 4>of time left, I want to enjoy, you really think?

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 5>That's what I think.

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 4>So the way that people justify the habits that they

0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 4>have that contribute to the climate emergency, they like compare

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.919
<v Speaker 4>and contrast, Well, I don't shop fast fashion, so like

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.880
<v Speaker 4>it's fine that I drive my car five minutes down

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 4>the road, and it's fine that I use Uber eight

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.959
<v Speaker 4>to every meal, and it's fine that I still use

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 4>straws because I don't do this one thing. And that's

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 4>just on an individual level. You have almost eight billion

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 4>individuals making these micro justifications for behavior. I'm sure the

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 4>individuals that run corporations can do the same thing and say, well, hey,

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 4>like wherever, he're doing this one thing, but them over there, they're.

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Fucking up the oceans.

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 5>All right, We're just fucking up the sky.

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying or like we're just sucking

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 4>up one continent, they're fucking up seven. Yeah, you know,

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.199
<v Speaker 4>So you make these adjustments, and then I think the

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 4>fundamental issue is as much as everybody accepts responsibility, I

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 4>don't think anybody wants to take accountability for it. So

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 4>they're all like, it is my fault, but like me

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 4>personally anything about it. And I remember reading this one

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 4>theory or justification that was like this US human race

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.959
<v Speaker 4>has to end at some point, just like we had

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.920
<v Speaker 4>the I say, it's just like we had all those

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 4>other ages where shit existed.

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 3>And now it doesn't.

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 5>Our time is bound to come right.

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 4>So people kind of have this thought of like maybe

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 4>we're just rushing ourselves there a little bit. Maybe we're

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.159
<v Speaker 4>just like not taking a chill road. We're like foot

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.879
<v Speaker 4>on the gas cranking it into oblivion. But it's going

0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 4>to happen anyway, So what.

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Is there to do?

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Overpopulation is obviously the thing that's driving it. I think

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 2>we can all agree on that. Because the more people do.

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 5>More things like.

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 2>What's it called goodness of living, standard quality of life

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 2>growing more, that means more food, more this moor that.

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, maybe maybe I hadn't thought about it that way,

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to be cranking into oblivion regardless. Yes, however,

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I would be cautious sharing that because I think that's

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 2>the kind of rhetoric that people who've denied climate change use.

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Flex and frooms people are always saying, like, don't pop

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 2>pimples because they'll scar.

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 3>We get that.

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 5>What's wrong with scars?

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Right? That batt'll loan It shows you've been through something.

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 4>But apparently there is a section on your face that

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 4>if you pop pimples and they get infected, it can

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 4>become lethal.

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 5>As in, you could.

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.920
<v Speaker 6>Listen to this, okay, So she's referring to this part

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 6>of your face called the triangle of death or the

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 6>death triangle, and we give it that name because if

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 6>you have a skin infection here, it can spread pretty

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 6>quickly to your brain and cause some really bad symptoms,

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 6>like a stroke. That's because in this area of the

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 6>face there's question of blood vessels that can spread infection

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 6>pretty quickly to the brain. Thankfully, getting a really bad

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 6>infection is pretty rare, but you may want to think

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 6>twice before you pop a pimple in this area.

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 5>Do you know what I hate? Femon green. Yes, it's

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:00.679
<v Speaker 5>every day.

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't do this because of this, don't do this

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:03.880
<v Speaker 3>because of this. It's really unsafe.

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah blah.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so why do pimples show up in those areas?

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 3>They have a death fish exactly? You know what?

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 5>I think? How bad would you feel?

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Though?

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 2>It's like I want to bring it back up, almost

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 2>drowning in BALI you did.

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 5>You don't think you're gonna be the one.

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 3>It wouldn't be.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Me though, I'm not swimming in any kind of.

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Rogue open water.

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 5>Number one.

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.199
<v Speaker 4>If it wasn't the rip, it would have been some

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 4>miscellaneous creature. I don't even know if this is real

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 4>or if it's just in a movie maybe had about

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 4>the megalodon. I don't it's like a megasquid. No, it's

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 4>like that huge shark or something. Honestly, I can't tell

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 4>you if this is real or like I thought dragons

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.360
<v Speaker 4>were real the other day, Like I'm.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 5>Not the one.

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 4>But something happened where they the scientists went too far

0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 4>down beneath the ocean floor. They thought they reached the bottom,

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 4>but it was just like this gaseous lege. So they

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 4>penetrated it and then let out all these like spooky creatures.

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 5>What literally, we.

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Don't have to google that it was in a movie.

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 4>But I feel like all movies are like based on

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 4>true life.

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Like when did this happen?

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Jason stave them? He did it? If he saved us.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.600
