Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch Up podcast.
Speaker 2: It is Flexing Frooms on cater and thank goodness for that.
Speaker 2: Are we getting better? Correct? Are we getting near it? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: One thing about the girlies. We're consistent. We said we
Speaker 2: were going to get near it and we haven't stopped.
Speaker 2: Winter usually is off season. I know I'm not falling
Speaker 2: for it this year. Of course, we're not giving summer energy.
Speaker 2: But I promise you, come springtime we're accelerating. Come summer,
Speaker 2: we're accelerating some more. It is not the time to
Speaker 2: get off your zoom. The world ending, Aliens invading, sea
Speaker 2: levels rising, temperature rising. You don't have the time you
Speaker 2: think you do, so just enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 1: What do you do when you need to ask someone
Speaker 1: to wear protection?
Speaker 2: Nice? Thank you for bring you.
Speaker 1: Never thought I would be twenty eight years old. I'm
Speaker 1: still struggling with the question. It's really harder here, guys,
Speaker 1: but it really shouldn't, because that's part of consent. Anyway
Speaker 1: to talk about We've got a listener call in and said, guys,
Speaker 1: I had relations with a man. We're not allowed to
Speaker 1: say sex or condoms? Was that a radio thing or
Speaker 1: potty as well.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: Ah, I'm fine with it being on the podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. Push the bound news guys, that's up next.
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's go.
Speaker 1: Flex and frilms on kedus.
Speaker 2: I know you aren't prepared to hear some Barbie slander,
Speaker 2: but put on your seat belts. We are going for
Speaker 2: a ride. Last time for me and I discussed our
Speaker 2: experience watching the Barbie movie advance screening mind you boys,
Speaker 2: perks of being public figures. We came out of that,
Speaker 2: I would say disillusioned, disillusioned, mostly confused, anticipating the hate
Speaker 2: we would get if we would share our true feelings
Speaker 2: that we hesitated for about thirteen seconds and said, you
Speaker 2: know what, who cares? This is what we feel about
Speaker 2: the Barbie movie. I personally said that the first thirty
Speaker 2: minutes I thought were great, and if you empty out
Speaker 2: your brain and you don't think, it's really fun and
Speaker 2: pretty and sweet and comedic. Every time the movie tried
Speaker 2: to make a point about feminism or pay triarchy, it
Speaker 2: fell short for me, and I felt like it didn't
Speaker 2: have to say anything at all through me.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, boring, contrived yep, confused, right, yeah, so.
Speaker 2: Less now I have just been biding my time. You
Speaker 2: would notice that for me on the Internet, I really
Speaker 2: pick and choose when I share my thoughts and feelings
Speaker 2: because I like to see what the general zeitgeist is doing,
Speaker 2: and the general zeitgeist is noticing the contradictions and what
Speaker 2: you said the movie did for you and the reality
Speaker 2: of what it's doing for you. There's been this backlash
Speaker 2: online about how the Barbie movie, which is meant to
Speaker 2: be empowering for women and women centered, has devolved into
Speaker 2: a celebration of ken. Oh it hurts to say, but
Speaker 2: I'm smiling as I say it. The overall commentary, especially
Speaker 2: on TikTok, is where I've seen it mostly. I don't
Speaker 2: know what Reels and Threads is doing. Is that, you know,
Speaker 2: women went to the cinema dressed in pink. They cried
Speaker 2: during the Barbie movie. They reflected about sisterhood and womanhood
Speaker 2: and their relationships with their moms, and how their mums
Speaker 2: were just little girls used to play with dolls, and
Speaker 2: they had to grow up in this society that taught
Speaker 2: them not to love themselves right, about what life would
Speaker 2: be like in a patriarchy, and ultimately how we all
Speaker 2: have this responsibility to build this utopia for women in
Speaker 2: this patriarchy that we live in. Right, we was clicking
Speaker 2: for people, it was making sense. Then that was like
Speaker 2: the source the flavor of the moment for literally five
Speaker 2: business days, and then as soon as we had the
Speaker 2: next Monday. The song that is trending for the movie
Speaker 2: is the song that Ken sang. Right, girls are making
Speaker 2: videos of their boyfriends and their jobs. Here's Mike Ken,
Speaker 2: his job is office. Here's Mike Ken, his job is hammer. Right,
Speaker 2: Kennuss is trending, Kenny Gy is trending. The whole movie
Speaker 2: was about Barbie. Yeah, talk about what Barbie you are?
Speaker 2: What's your Barbie job? How are you changing your Barbie world?
Speaker 2: What about the Barbie songs the women were singing in
Speaker 2: the Barbie soundtrack about women? Huh? The point was to
Speaker 2: appreciate women and to discuss how patriarch affects all of us,
Speaker 2: and it became the celebration of a man.
Speaker 3: It's because of patriarchy. One.
Speaker 1: We just thought it is so sad that Ken was
Speaker 1: so overlooked in this movie, and we've really applied that
Speaker 1: to real life, assuming that now this really is happening
Speaker 1: in Barbie world that we need to give our men
Speaker 1: some confidence back.
Speaker 2: It's just crazy how.
Speaker 1: The point is missed.
Speaker 2: People were so close for a moment, and I feel
Speaker 2: like the thing that people aren't recognizing is it's more
Speaker 2: a conscious thing. People didn't consciously decide that it's the
Speaker 2: Ken song that's going to be the one that we like,
Speaker 2: it's the Ken characters we're going to be mem It
Speaker 2: just happened, as it always ends up, just happening, like
Speaker 2: slowly but surely we start centering men and centering men
Speaker 2: and centering men, and then it's like you did it again.
Speaker 2: Oh so sorry much, Hello lovely.
Speaker 1: This is an urgent PSA that's a public service announcement
Speaker 1: for every single person listening. This break coming up or
Speaker 1: this monologue I'm about to go on, is about using
Speaker 1: protection in the bedroom. If you are of age and
Speaker 1: you partake in activities that should be rubber based, this
Speaker 1: one's for you. I'm not allowed to say the C
Speaker 1: word here, guys. I've started seeing a new guy and
Speaker 1: it is going really well. The first time we slept together,
Speaker 1: we did the deed like three times and we used
Speaker 1: protection every time. Then on our next sleepover, we used
Speaker 1: protection for the first time, and afterwards he said that
Speaker 1: it takes ages for him to redacted with protection on,
Speaker 1: but insisted that he wasn't pressuring me not to wear one,
Speaker 1: so he wasn't saying what it takes ages, so I
Speaker 1: don't want to wear one. He just said, it takes ages.
Speaker 2: But do with that information what you will.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, and I said, yeah, I'm glad we're
Speaker 1: using them. Then a few hours later we slept together again,
Speaker 1: and I felt as if I was the one that
Speaker 1: kind of initiated initiated it occurring without protection. In hindsight,
Speaker 1: I wish we use one because I don't actually know
Speaker 1: what his dating status is, and to be honest, I'm
Speaker 1: actually scared of getting an SDI, particularly if this is
Speaker 1: someone who is just going to reject me anyway trauma.
Speaker 1: In the past, I have just had relations with men
Speaker 1: without protection because I've been too scared to ask them
Speaker 1: to use one. Essentially, I'm wondering how do I get
Speaker 1: around being a hypocrite and asking him to wear protection
Speaker 1: even though the damage is essentially already done.
Speaker 2: Thank you ladies, love the way this was written. Again,
Speaker 2: so sincere and these are real world problems. It's literally
Speaker 2: never too late. This is one big myth perpetuated by
Speaker 2: whoever works at Big lies about what you can and
Speaker 2: can't ask for. Once you've given informed consent about something
Speaker 2: you've once wanted and didn't want any more. Okay, if
Speaker 2: you can do this in one of three ways, humor,
Speaker 2: being really direct, or being really passive, pick one, pick all.
Speaker 2: If you're doing humor, be funny with it. Haha. I
Speaker 2: want to have your baby, and you don't want to
Speaker 2: have my baby. So let's just wrap this up. Do
Speaker 2: you have any I've got some here, Jill beautiful. Right,
Speaker 2: it's a statement, it's not a question. It's never a question.
Speaker 2: This is what we're going to do.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: If you're going to be directed to my personal favorite,
Speaker 2: it'll be I'm well aware we didn't use one last time.
Speaker 2: Don't want to take that risk again. You know how
Speaker 2: it is, right, and then we're just gonna wear one, beautiful.
Speaker 2: I think it becomes really quite tricky when you start
Speaker 2: to pose questions because it can sound accusatory like oh,
Speaker 2: you aren't, are you? And who are you sleeping with them?
Speaker 3: Did you?
Speaker 2: And have you? We don't want to be doing any
Speaker 2: of that. We're just setting a new standard, and it's
Speaker 2: nobody's fault right now. The passive one is I personly
Speaker 2: don't know how to be passive, so I could practice
Speaker 2: right now. But a passive approach is alluding to what
Speaker 2: you would like to happen and hoping that they fill
Speaker 2: in the blanks right So you'd be saying, I just
Speaker 2: feel kind of weird about last time, Like it was
Speaker 2: really good, I really enjoyed myself, but I usually don't.
Speaker 2: Like I'm usually wearing protection, and I feel like maybe
Speaker 2: I made it weird by like not wearing it last time,
Speaker 2: and i'd really prefer we did, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: And then because they recognize your discomfort, will be like,
Speaker 2: oh no, oh good wait, no, didn't mean to make
Speaker 2: you uncomfortable or whatever.
Speaker 1: And you don't think that sounds like a question. I
Speaker 1: think it's in the tone.
Speaker 2: I can't do passive tone well, but you understand, Like
Speaker 2: the passive, it's insinuating i'd like to do this. I
Speaker 2: don't even know how to say it. Help me feel
Speaker 2: in the blanks. Because if you're coming to someone gently,
Speaker 2: they're going to also be really open to hearing you.
Speaker 2: They're gonna leaning closer they're going to try and interpret.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be like, oh, what are you actually saying?
Speaker 2: You just want to use projection? Yeah, yeah, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: Thanks.
Speaker 2: But I really feel like getting into the habit of
Speaker 2: knowing that everybody is comfortable. When everybody is comfortable, and
Speaker 2: if someone were to tell you to your face something
Speaker 2: we did in this arena made me uncomfortable, you'd remedy
Speaker 2: it quick and you'd be like, oh, whoa, look, I
Speaker 2: didn't even recognize that it's an easy fix or good
Speaker 2: no stress, So like, maintain that.
Speaker 1: What do we think about him saying, oh, I'm not
Speaker 1: pressuring you, but it is harder for me too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I believe that's true. Like a lot of
Speaker 2: what we do in the bedroom is habitual, and it's
Speaker 2: very tired to like the habits we've made past and prior.
Speaker 2: So if you're used to doing something one way and
Speaker 2: then you'll switch it up, I have no doubt that
Speaker 2: it's difficult. But also, let's look at the fact of
Speaker 2: the matter. Okay, you don't want the consequence of what
Speaker 2: could come by you enduring a little bit more difficulty.
Speaker 1: Yes, beautifully done. Flex, you just shone. This is flex
Speaker 1: and rooms already.
Speaker 2: Had suspicions and speculations that chat gpt is old, dried out,
Speaker 2: and never before to be used by anyone who is sane.
Speaker 2: And I've proved my point here with this information I've
Speaker 2: come across, not secretly, it's on the internet. The CEO
Speaker 2: of chat gpt already has a new thing. He's gone
Speaker 2: back to crypto. He said, you people don't even understand
Speaker 2: what we're doing here. So basically he's launched his own
Speaker 2: currency called world Coin.
Speaker 1: This is the trajectory of like every boy Boss. It's
Speaker 1: like make something successful, crypto ponzi scheme.
Speaker 2: Yeah, start again. Always make sure you get to MLM.
Speaker 2: It's not worth doing if you don't start an MLM.
Speaker 2: Every needs to be a pyramid scheme.
Speaker 1: But listen.
Speaker 2: So basically his whole thing, and maybe I might butcher it,
Speaker 2: but I'm not a scientist. His whole thing is that
Speaker 2: he thinks that digital currency should be accessible for everyone
Speaker 2: in the entire world, not limited by those who already
Speaker 2: got in when Bitcoin was like pumping for the first time.
Speaker 2: So this is money for the world, he says. So basically,
Speaker 2: the only way to get access to world coin is
Speaker 2: to prove that you're a human. And the way that
Speaker 2: you prove that you're a human is you need to
Speaker 2: go get your eye scanned by booking an ORB appointment.
Speaker 2: It takes a biometric scan and when you put that
Speaker 2: information into his database, yes, then he'll give you some
Speaker 2: of this currency. The currency is capped at ten billion
Speaker 2: dollars and there are already two million unique people using it,
Speaker 2: which means that you only have like eight million. Whatever
Speaker 2: the maths is. Basically, if you run out, you will
Speaker 2: lose out what you do with bitcoin. But I have
Speaker 2: some qualms with this guy, mister chat GPT first number one, Sorry,
Speaker 2: thank you number one. We don't really understand crypto. If
Speaker 2: I go and get some world coin, where can I
Speaker 2: actually use it? He's claiming it's inclusive, but on I
Speaker 2: need an Internet to access it and a phone, and
Speaker 2: I'm limited by my lack of understanding for what this
Speaker 2: coin is. Anyway, what do you need with my eye?
Speaker 2: Is that the only way to prove that I'm human?
Speaker 2: That I got? I? What if you don't have eyes?
Speaker 2: Sorry to bring this in, must be sorry to call
Speaker 2: him able less, But what if you don't have eyes?
Speaker 2: He's like, just get your I scanned at an orb bar?
Speaker 2: Where are these orb bars? If I was in rural Prague,
Speaker 2: would I have never been anywhere rural?
Speaker 3: Rural?
Speaker 1: If I was in Tamworth, Listen, I think the most
Speaker 1: crucial part of this story, it's violence against aliens. Why
Speaker 1: has this come out just as we know the aliens
Speaker 1: and it's a human only.
Speaker 2: To me that you're a human.
Speaker 3: This is.
Speaker 2: What I do like there if you do go into
Speaker 2: the world coin website, they have stats up how people
Speaker 2: are transacting what they're spending love, which is all really interesting.
Speaker 2: I just with the amount of years I've been online
Speaker 2: and active on the internet, everything has a sinister call,
Speaker 2: every single thing. So why are you trying to position
Speaker 2: this as like a we're here for the people. We
Speaker 2: just want you to have access to your money, live,
Speaker 2: your truth. Information is information. Anyway, here we are good
Speaker 2: luck you'll need it. We have heard of girl dinner.
Speaker 1: If you haven't, girl dinner refers to a plate that
Speaker 1: you would eat in the nighttime hours, gendered. For some reason,
Speaker 1: I thought we were pass that kind of behavior, but
Speaker 1: here we are. It involves taking all little tiny treats
Speaker 1: from your fridge, position them on a plate. Is if
Speaker 1: you're going to give it to a small mouse. But
Speaker 1: instead of consuming at your site, tap us chappers, we're
Speaker 1: all on the one plate and from the person's fridge.
Speaker 1: So an example of girl dinner that I have not
Speaker 1: had but could would be like little gerkins, because they
Speaker 1: stay in your fridge for ages. A corn thin or
Speaker 1: two with a smattering of peanut butter. Yeah, and a
Speaker 1: few olives. Yes, Okay, that's a meatastrate.
Speaker 2: I personally don't partake in girl dinner, So when I
Speaker 2: saw this, I said, is this really how everybody's eating?
Speaker 1: I could never anyway, Apparently there's which Mickey has a
Speaker 1: grand pool. Please play the type.
Speaker 3: If you're wondering what boy dinner is, go to your
Speaker 3: local supermarket at six thirty pm and stand behind a
Speaker 3: single man and see what's inside of his basket. Frozen pizza,
Speaker 3: deli meats, potato, chips, no vegetables. One time I was
Speaker 3: behind a guy who was getting a family sized block
Speaker 3: of butter, the generic brand of Mac and cheese, not Kraft,
Speaker 3: and a bottle of drain cleaner.
Speaker 2: I will say frozen pizza is very boy dinner. I've
Speaker 2: only ever interacted with like people who eat frozen dinner
Speaker 2: and men that then diagram is a circle because since
Speaker 2: Domino's and pizza and pizza do fight all a pizzas,
Speaker 2: why do you have to go through that?
Speaker 1: Frozen pizza is the worst thing on earth?
Speaker 2: The worst? Do you know what? A couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: if not a couple of months ago, I told Fremi
Speaker 2: about something that I heard on TikTok, and she was
Speaker 2: just so exacerbated. She said, I'm sick of everybody turning
Speaker 2: basic behavior into label. I don't want to hear any more.
Speaker 2: And I'm coming up to my Teather as well. Everything
Speaker 2: is a thing. We've found more ways to say nothing
Speaker 2: of all the words that we have and all the
Speaker 2: conversations that we need to be having as a society,
Speaker 2: even gendered ones, we're just not having the right ones.
Speaker 2: Boy dinner and girl dinner.
Speaker 1: I'm bored.
Speaker 2: I'm really bored, and I love chit.
Speaker 1: Chat saying something.
Speaker 2: It's saying something, and I'm scared for myself because if
Speaker 2: I get any more bored, I'm going to get jaded,
Speaker 2: and I don't want to be jaded.
Speaker 1: And you need to be slaying the boots down our deragatory.
