0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you or how many Instagram accounts

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>you've made in your time, but what happens when you're

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.639
<v Speaker 2>done using them? Where is the Instagram graveyard? Do you

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 2>just let one sit there? Or can someone else come

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and claim them? This is the question we are asking today.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Am I the asshof for refusing to give my brother's

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend my Instagram account with thirty thousand followers that I

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 2>abandon fear not Flex and Rooms will help? So, I,

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight female seems relevant to know have an Instagram

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>account that I used to post my artwork on. I

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 2>managed to get a little over thirty five k followers

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>at one point, but it has since dropped down to

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty k as it has been inactive for some time.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>A little over three years ago, lost interest in it

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>and stopped using it. She has about six thousand followers,

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>but since finding out about my account, she's begged to

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.319
<v Speaker 2>take it over, saying if I'm not going to use

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>it anymore, that I might as well give it to.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Someone who will.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I told her that I don't want to hand over

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>in case I want to use it again, and she

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>called me selfish and demanded that I give it to her.

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>It's created a rift between me and my brother, as

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>she's told him that if he can't convince me to

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 2>hand over to her, that he has to choose between

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the two of us.

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is creative writing. This isn't creative writing.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Is it petty that I don't want to or should

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I just settle the beef and give it to her?

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow? These are twenty twenty three problems.

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Let it be known. In the eighties they weren't asking

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>these questions. They definitely weren't asking them in the naughties either.

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>These are These are modern problems that require modern solutions

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>from modern women.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Listen. I have an account that I made for Anthony

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Alberanese's dog, Toto Albanesi, and I probably got like two

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and a half thousand followers. Yeah, and I've considered selling it,

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>not selling it, but like bequeathing it to somebody who

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to create an online audience, but to continue, no,

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to create a different thing. But then I thought, these

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>people that want Toto's dog don't want your product, and

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to start off on the bad foot.

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say there's no value in the number

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 2>if you didn't curate the audience yourself realistically, Like when like,

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 2>how many followers did you have when you started getting

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>cool opportunities when you were able to, like, you know.

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Work at cool places, get cool gigs.

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Because I know that when I started working at corporation

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that must not be named music television company, probably five

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>thousand followers, right, Like, I don't think I had that

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of come up where it was like the audience

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>was here and then I got stuff. And so in

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>this day and age where like the number isn't indicative

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>of how good of an influencer you are a content creator,

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 2>This guy who's already started her account, it's better off

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 2>keeping that one because people who are there are following

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>you for you. You go start this new account that

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been active in three years with thirty thousand followers

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>that are steadily declining, it's just not worth it. I

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>do think it's a strange dynamic that it's your brother's sorry,

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 2>it's your boyfriend's sister that is like insistent that you

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>give this to her. I don't know what kind of

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 2>relationship you have.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>The boundaries are not boundaries.

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 3>It's not.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 2>It's so strange, and it's odd that it's causing a

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>rift between you and your boyfriend because now you both

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>seem petty. Like he's probably like, oh my goodness, this

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 2>is just weird. The girlfriend is making weird between you two.

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>And then you have to be like, I'm not giving

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 2>you this thing that I built for my art like you.

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine that she would feel so like petty

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 2>having to say those words.

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just bizarre. I think it's made up.

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>But if it is real, that didn't cross my mind

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>until a couple of days ago when you said some

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>people just make them up.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, people make stuff up. I can imagine people

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and read it being like, Oh I'm bored. I'm gonna

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>make something up. Get some responses, get some engagement, speak

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to someone, stop my loneliness, cure mind.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 3>So you think it's one of those things.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>One of those ones, but I will say, keep you

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>six K micro influencer is a real thing. Yeah, and

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>just be yourself. Really, Cata Flex and Fromes.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to Flex and firms.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 4>What the frick?

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I have a million dollar business idea. It's my fourth

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 2>one this week and I thought, why don't I just

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>share it? You know, it can be my one good

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>deed of philanthropy. Today, influencer PR package waste. When I

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>scroll through my feeds, I'm seeing a trend.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Over Covid.

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>There was this huge conversation when I say covid, I'm

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>in lockdown. It's huge conversation around the sheer, just the

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>sheer amount of waste that comes with the influencer lifestyle.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Not just the waste, the gluttony degree. He's getting sent

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>stuff every day. They're coming in these big, obnoxious packages.

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 2>It's more product. It's more product than you could ever

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>use in your lifetime. Every single week, four different brands

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>sending you a perfume, every single week, four different condiment

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>companies sending you sauce. By the time you get to it,

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>it's expired. And so there was a trend of people saying,

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I don't want to receive any PR

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>at all. But what happens when a bunch of brands

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>are relying on influencer marketing to get their brands known,

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 2>They're not going to stop sending you stuff. You can

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>say no, but it will arrive at your house and

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you will have to deal with passing it on to

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>somebody else or just you know, stockpiling waste.

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 3>So then I was thinking, okay, noted.

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Now are coming out of lockdown, out of COVID in

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 2>question in what are those quotation marks? Quotation marks bunny rabbits.

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm seeing.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 3>The holes come back.

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing people to halls, clothing halls, beauty halls, food halls.

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's grocery shopping, but just like amassing stuff again.

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>And so the conversation is starting. We have so much waste,

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>so much waste. Who is going to start a business

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 2>to get those influce luance to send out and disseminate

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it back to.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 3>People who might need it.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Because people often say, send it to a homeless shelter.

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry they don't want my foundation. You know

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying. Everyone's like, okay, send it to you,

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 2>a women's college, send it to this, send it to that.

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>These are all fantastic ideas. And I could guarantee there's

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe I don't know, three hundred thousand influences in Australia

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 2>right now who have an excess of stuff that could

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>be going to somebody true.

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Needs it three hundred thousand influences, A.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Lot of influences, not all of them are good. There's

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of micro influencers. And I'm not just talking

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>about traditional Like, hey everyone, you know musicians, you know, athletes, authors,

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>they're all considered. They're all getting stuff that they don't

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>need and don't know what to do with them. So

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>who can now gather this stuff and get it to

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>the hands of people who need them, almost like a

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 2>reduced reuse recycle vibe. Someone needs to do it because

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 2>the problem isn't going anywhere. And I think what we're

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna have is like cyclical think pieces about how there's

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>so much waste. It's like telling companies, like, if companies

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>really cared that their efforts were like destroying the planet,

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they would have stopped by now. So they're gonna keep

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>sending their stuff. And what happens is by the time

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 2>we get to the influence the influencer, it's their responsibility, right,

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>it's your waste that you have to deal with. So

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 2>now you are here trying to recycle these ridiculous pr

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>packages and like, get this makeup to somebody else's roadic spies.

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just really silly you need another third parties like,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>don't worry, babes, give it to me, I'll sort it out.

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess the danger there is what if you have

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>naughty influences who spike it with poison. Like once a

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>brand sends something out and it's opened, what do you

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 1>do with it? It's very hard to keep away from

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>giving in to a friend.

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 3>What if you're not opening it? What if it's closed?

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 3>What if it choose?

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>You send them my way, FLEXI money, send them my

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>bloody way.

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 2>You're get in the way of someone's million dollar business idea, Babe.

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>All I'm saying is like that would be a real

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that's a real problem that needs solving asap, not one

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>of these like we made a new attachment for something

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 2>some thing.

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you still get sense stuff? Every day?

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Every day, every single day, constantly I'm like, no, thank you,

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want anything, no thank you, and they say

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>oh no no.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Like it's on us, like no excitations of posts.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I said no.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And what's worse is when you say no and you

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>get things that were never gonna work, like I under

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 2>staining if someone's like, I know you.

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Would really like this, but you just don't want it.

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, but if you're selling me closer to too small shoes,

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that would I can't wear food that I can't eat,

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>like what do you call it? Like perishable foods? And

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not at my it's just like it's excessive. But

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I just like do red herrings and now I just

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 2>don't respond.

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a bit of that.

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 3>You just move house and then it just goes to

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>the old house.

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't even imagine the stuff that's going to your

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>old houses. The real goal is to try and move

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>into a house that an influencer used to live in.

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I met someone who moved into my old house. They

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:48.440

<v Speaker 1>call you received from the library when a book was

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>ready for collection, and overtime perfected the automated robot voice,

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>so my services are read a disposal. I didn't ask this,

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>but I got it, and it's one of my favorite

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>messages I've ever gone. Listen to this. I think even

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>if you never got one of these causes a kid

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>or you don't remember it, it's still a valance. I

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know her name is Sarah.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Hello. This is a message from the Geelong Regional Library

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 4>Corporation for Sarah Fuzia. We are calling to let you

<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry to say. Do you know what?

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 2>If I knew what that was, I feel like I'd

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 2>be like that was spot on. But it just sounds

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 2>like a girl mimicking a robot.

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>The oh, the intonation, the.

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Intonation, the words like the intonation cannot be taught lived.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I just thought that was so impressive. I thought I

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>hadn't heard like it was so deeply Australian in terms

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>of the intonation and the the voice itself is like

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a voice that I've heard before that isn't. It's like

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Australian robot. It's a certain dialect.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just Australian automation call.

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:50.360

<v Speaker 1>Yeah anyway, So thanks Sarah. If anyone else has like

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>voice notes imitating things, I find it very interesting. I'm

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty good at doing accents.

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>That's her.

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:14.679

<v Speaker 1>frooms they're the best. What did you I was on

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the bus the other day. I know, pretty princesses get

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the bus. I've been watching a lot of Sex in

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the City and Carrie says she never takes public transport.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of rubbing off on me. No, she won't

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>take the subwaycently takes cabs. Carbon footprint doesn't exist in

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Sex and the City early two thousands. I've learned.

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Are you enjoying it?

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I am obsessed? Does it still?

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you having to like suspend your disbelief and say

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 2>like that was a show made in that time, So

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 2>like I'm just gonna like enjoy it for what it is.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Or you using like your twenty twenty three brain to

0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>watch that show bit of boat.

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, fashion wise, I'm using my twenty twenty three brain.

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>It's quite modern like in some ways. In other ways

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's very I think it's very aware of

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>what it is, like a self.

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 3>Aware show, self aware like girls, you'll say that.

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Anyway. I was on the bus the other day, the

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>three three three going to the city, okay, and it's

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a very busy bus. It's one of those buses that

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>has the curvy bit in the middle because it's so large,

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and I always choose the spot free from the back

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.599
<v Speaker 1>on the right side.

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 3>That far up the back.

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I want the bit where like so at the

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>back of the bus there's like a hump where the

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>wheel is and I want to sit behind and we

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 1>also can put my feet up a little bit, a

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 1>bit of elevation. Anyway, I did the same one on

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the school bus that I take every day, same seat

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>muscle memory he took every day. Yeah, Yeah, I took

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a bus to school.

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I believe you. I didn't have a driver. I took

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 3>a bus chauffeur.

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>And anyway, the bus was filling up. I get on

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the first stop. The bus is filling up and there's

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>a person on every single seat. So now the people

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.440
<v Speaker 1>coming and choosing to who to sit next to. What

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>do I get I'm the first person to be chosen

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to sat next to.

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 3>What is that happening?

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>It means I'm a nice person. It means that I

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 1>have a friendly disposition. I look clean, I look as

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>though I don't smell. Definitely there's a bit of a

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>smell emitting from this T shirt right now, But yeah,

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, But it's like nice. I think if you

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 1>were attracted to me, you'd find it a pleasant smell.

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, get on the bus in the morning, someone

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>sitting next to me, and I thought, that is a

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>good marker of me being a friendly looking person. The

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>resting bee face was nowhere to be seen, and I

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 1>just think, yeah, do you want to be the person

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>in life you think about who you want to be?

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to be someone in life that gets

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>sat next to on the bus. Because as annoying it

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>as it is it means you're nice.

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.880
