Speaker 1: Oh my god, tenth of November. Guys.
Speaker 3: Hi, today we're talking about new chain mail. Chain mail
Speaker 3: still exists. I'm telling a story that if you have
Speaker 3: followed me in any capacity for the last seven years,
Speaker 3: you would know this story. I've dold this out like
Speaker 3: you can't even mentioned, but it never gets old to me,
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna share it again.
Speaker 1: Please be listening.
Speaker 3: If you have heard me say it, please DM me
Speaker 3: afterwards at Frooms. Also how to flirt like a bartender

Speaker 3: a potty enjoy This is Flex and Frooms. I'm Kita
Speaker 3: our producer Mickey. What's it called when someone is like
Speaker 3: not die hard, but like ever loving. Micky's just always
Speaker 3: finding us the best content.
Speaker 2: That's really nice for me. Thank you, Thank you for
Speaker 2: that reassurance.
Speaker 3: And she's come across the TikTok about a uniquely Australian
Speaker 3: experience or we're gonna discuss if it's uniquely Australian about
Speaker 3: what you do after a night out.
Speaker 1: Mickey, please play the tape.
Speaker 2: Can someone tell me if This is like an Australian thing,
Speaker 2: or the universal experience walking to.
Speaker 3: Get your car the next day after you've I'm still drunk,
Speaker 3: but after you've gone out.
Speaker 1: This is an Australian thing.
Speaker 2: But it's just a worldly things drunk, she did.
Speaker 3: I.
Speaker 4: Feel like it might be and I've not done it personally,
Speaker 4: but I've heard so many people I'm gonna go pick
Speaker 4: up my car, gonna go a what was your plan?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: This is a post this is a post uber world
Speaker 4: as well. This is not not talking nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3: It's a really grim experience because you're when you're in
Speaker 3: the moment, you're like, whatever, I've just pick it up,
Speaker 3: tomorrow's problem. Then you have to bloody go and get it.
Speaker 4: I guess I don't really drink, and I got my
Speaker 4: license at twenty sevens. Maybe that's why I don't let.
Speaker 1: Miss this core experience. Nicky, have you done it a
Speaker 1: few times a few times?
Speaker 2: But I think why so uniqueliched, at least for me,
Speaker 2: is because my friends and I would live like cut
Speaker 2: two minutes drive from each other, but there would be
Speaker 2: like no transport that would be easy enough for me
Speaker 2: to get home. Was this when you were to get
Speaker 2: to my friends, like when I was like eighteen, Like
Speaker 2: it'd be like I either get the bus that's thirty
Speaker 2: minutes because it goes around the block fifty times, or
Speaker 2: I drive there for three minutes, right, I mean that's just.
Speaker 4: You were set up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that's just an Australian thing that
Speaker 2: we're all so far APAs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all.
Speaker 2: Our transport so we're always driving getting.
Speaker 3: Down the roads in Maritime, all my friends lived, Every
Speaker 3: single friend lived at least half an hour away from me.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't have a single friend in my suburb.
Speaker 4: Maybe that would be also the Yeah, people really should
Speaker 4: live next to their friends, but we make that happen.
Speaker 4: There's got to be a life, So it doesn't make
Speaker 4: sense that you have to be states or even more
Speaker 4: than fifteen minutes away from your friends.
Speaker 2: Even fifteen minutes able to walk to your friend and
Speaker 2: around trip.
Speaker 1: Truly, I have.
Speaker 3: That now where I live a lot of my mates
Speaker 3: and you just become really close to them.
Speaker 1: Und Py Shoppy.
Speaker 4: I do like the incidental friendship stuff, which is great
Speaker 4: for building bonds.
Speaker 1: That's if we create a cult, that's where we will
Speaker 1: all be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if our international listeners want to weigh in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, on the compound, we are having realizations. They come
Speaker 4: at us so rapidly. I mentioned last week that I'm
Speaker 4: getting back into meditating because I've expressed it from me
Speaker 4: before that I don't think I have a busy mind.
Speaker 4: It's actually quite empty in there, and I like to
Speaker 4: think situationally, so I thought, I don't need to meditate
Speaker 4: because my mind's not really busy. But then it dawned
Speaker 4: on me that a lot of what happens before I'm
Speaker 4: trying to sleep is that my mind starts not racing,
Speaker 4: but just like thoughts prop up and I would regard
Speaker 4: them as like a creative process of mind, like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is so cool. Let me just spend the next
Speaker 4: hour writing down all these amazing thoughts. Though it's really happening.
Speaker 4: Is that I'm not giving myself enough time in the
Speaker 4: day to not be stimulated to just think what I
Speaker 4: was meditating. One of the things that came up is
Speaker 4: this idea that I don't think we take life seriously
Speaker 4: enough in the sense that we make things feel serious,
Speaker 4: right like we make work feel serious, we make relationships
Speaker 4: feel serious, but life like the idea of being alive
Speaker 4: and not really being sure if we get to come
Speaker 4: back again. I don't think we take seriously enough, and
Speaker 4: I think we act like we are like guaranteed to
Speaker 4: be here for a long time and guarantee to have
Speaker 4: the best case scenario just happened, because who would hurt us?
Speaker 4: We're just such pretty princess little girls, you know. And
Speaker 4: I was thinking, you know, like, if someone would ask
Speaker 4: you who you are and you couldn't say your job,
Speaker 4: what would you say and really feel and mean? Right?
Speaker 4: That was point number one and point number two. I
Speaker 4: say a lot, and I fall into this category of
Speaker 4: a lot is that I constantly think in the future,
Speaker 4: and I think aspirationally. So I'm doing all of these
Speaker 4: things now to arrive at a destination in five years
Speaker 4: when I have of this kind of hobby or this
Speaker 4: kind of work life balance or this kind of whatever.
Speaker 4: But the decisions that I make every day determine whether
Speaker 4: or I'll even get there. And I don't think I
Speaker 4: can truly clock how serious that is because in my head,
Speaker 4: I just look, I'll end up places like, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: I do that, I hard I do hard work, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, I, you know, make connections or whatever. But
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't really think. I'm really clocking that
Speaker 4: if I don't actively work towards the person that I
Speaker 4: want to be in five years, I just don't get there.
Speaker 4: And that's how people get to the end of their
Speaker 4: life or a midlife crisis for example, and feel really
Speaker 4: hard on themselves, because once you get to fifty, the
Speaker 4: life in front of you is far short than the
Speaker 4: life behind you, and so someddening you're working on overdrive,
Speaker 4: I imagine, be like, Damn, I really thought by this
Speaker 4: age I would be somewhere. I really thought by this
Speaker 4: age I would have done this. And it's like, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 4: so why didn't you do it? Like when was it
Speaker 4: going to happen? I reckon.
Speaker 3: Some people are just predisposed of feeling like even if
Speaker 3: they did everything, they start winging out about it being over.
Speaker 3: So therefore they retro expectively go oh, I should have
Speaker 3: done this when I did this, Well, you did what
Speaker 3: you wanted at the time.
Speaker 4: And that's the thing I feel like, speaking for myself,
Speaker 4: I don't know if I take full responsibility of what
Speaker 4: I want, Like a lot of what I want is
Speaker 4: informed by what looks good. It would be the good
Speaker 4: thing to want. Do you know what I mean? Because
Speaker 4: the alternative is to want the bad thing and have
Speaker 4: everybody around you be like what is wrong with you?
Speaker 4: But like what is wrong with you? You'll true anyway.
Speaker 4: I meditate, guys, because there's something something happens.

Speaker 4: are very much still alive. So we have I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm going to assume you know what a chain letter is,
