Speaker 1: The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast.
Speaker 2: Yet again, I'm being savage and harassed in the studio.
Speaker 3: You know what to be seen.
Speaker 2: I went to the toilet. There's a little laminated sheet
Speaker 2: that says, if you're getting harassed at work, talk to
Speaker 2: your manager call this number and I'm this close.
Speaker 3: Just do it now, get back to you in the
Speaker 3: next business day.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm getting savage because I told my story about
Speaker 2: the Arias, and I seem to focus too much on
Speaker 2: the not interesting bits.
Speaker 4: So I think it was all interesting, It's just long winded.
Speaker 2: All right. Well, I don't know. I think people like
Speaker 2: the flavor.
Speaker 3: People love the flavor.
Speaker 4: But unfortunately for people have to edit our show, it's
Speaker 4: not giving love the flavor, it's giving burdens burdensome.
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, Flex and I had a really good job.
Speaker 2: I didn't even actually get to ask you about your experience.
Speaker 2: Can you just sum it up in five words? It
Speaker 2: was mostly good? Yeah, it was mostly good. Damn. All right,
Speaker 2: Yet again I'm being upstage since five words or less,
Speaker 2: let me ever go about you.
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the podcast.
Speaker 2: Tocsin by Flex is wearing Shop Mummy necklace.
Speaker 1: Let's go Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 3: We have gossip.
Speaker 2: I light, it's not often that we have gossip, honestly.
Speaker 2: Flex and I've been going out every weekend together. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been at least two weekends in a row, if
Speaker 2: not four.
Speaker 4: I would say, from the day I saw you, from
Speaker 4: the night I saw you at the Wrangler party that
Speaker 4: was the start of October. I've been getting near it
Speaker 4: every week since.
Speaker 2: We have to varying degrees of success, I'd say, but
Speaker 2: attempting to get near it is like seventy percent of
Speaker 2: the battle.
Speaker 3: Yes, a real challenge.
Speaker 2: So we had the arias a couple of weeks back.
Speaker 2: It was a very exciting situation for me. It was
Speaker 2: one of my first live crosses on TV that I
Speaker 2: was doing, which is a unique challenge. I will say,
Speaker 2: I think when you're watching someone on TV it looks easy.
Speaker 2: When you're in the moment, it's a brain challenge. The
Speaker 2: brain is computing at a speed that is both exciting
Speaker 2: and terrifying.
Speaker 4: And I guess to explain because I used to think
Speaker 4: before I started working on TV that everything was off
Speaker 4: the dome, that everyone was just really charismatic and they
Speaker 4: could say what they want when they want, because they want,
Speaker 4: And that was the vibe when realistically, if it's for
Speaker 4: some big corporation with a lot of stakeholders and it's live,
Speaker 4: chances are using a teleprompter and that's very weird to
Speaker 4: have to read out what's been written and to sound
Speaker 4: conversational and natural and to bounce off another person and
Speaker 4: have people in your ears. All right, counting down, five, four,
Speaker 4: three two. It's just a lot.
Speaker 2: It's so much. And of course because this is a
Speaker 2: live event that's on a red carpet, and then in
Speaker 2: another zone, no teleprompter.
Speaker 3: Oh there wasn't a little telly no oh off the domio.
Speaker 2: Oh this is a Domeleo Grin situation, bloodshed and carnage
Speaker 2: on the red carpet. So I'm going to give you
Speaker 2: a play by player which actually happens backstage, backstage, like
Speaker 2: the whole my whole experience with that. Oh yeah, the
Speaker 2: the KFC fans red roomster. Oh so sorry, sorry, yeah,
Speaker 2: please compete all Chicken Base for suits. So okay, the
Speaker 2: day of I get to Hard and Pavilion at ten am.
Speaker 4: We're not doing a literal play by player. I think
Speaker 4: it's interest am, and the carpet was at six. It's
Speaker 4: got a few hours to get through.
Speaker 2: Okay. The carpet was at four Okay, so I get there.
Speaker 2: We have our first meeting walk through. It's called a
Speaker 2: WRECKI where you go and check out the site vibe.
Speaker 2: So we're walking on the red carpet. Everybody's frantic running
Speaker 2: around getting it done. I see some familiar faces because
Speaker 2: I have worked at the Arias for almost five years now,
Speaker 2: five years a veteran, So I'm a veteran of the Arias,
Speaker 2: and we're doing a run through of what's what's going
Speaker 2: to happen each time. We get our earp to kind
Speaker 2: of learn the lay of the land with that hate
Speaker 2: ear pieces. There are a lot, aren't they. These ones
Speaker 2: are tiny, like it literally felt like I was going
Speaker 2: into my ear canal a little.
Speaker 4: Too deep, but it was good. Ear Doctors hate her.
Speaker 4: They called audiologists. Audiologists hate her. I believe it's ear
Speaker 4: nose and throat. Eh, it's like an o something I think,
Speaker 4: like an omni.
Speaker 2: Yes, let's go with that. Then after that we go
Speaker 2: and get makeup done. Christian Wilkins and I are getting
Speaker 2: our makeup done by the most slay makeup artist. My
Speaker 2: one was called Steph and she was gor Gina, get
Speaker 2: to the gossip babe, okay, okay, yeah yeah, and then
Speaker 2: Peaking Duck walking.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So the story with Peaking Duck is they were doing
Speaker 2: a live performance in our zone obsessed with Peaking Duck.
Speaker 2: I was on their podcast the other day. Pretty sure
Speaker 2: it's out. We just get them like a house on fire,
Speaker 2: Like the chemme is unreal, the camera obsessed.
Speaker 3: What do you mean is unreal? You've got good cam,
Speaker 3: We've got great kem.
Speaker 2: So back off.
Speaker 4: I love the way what you do with the English language.
Speaker 4: You add flavor and depth, you add MSG.
Speaker 2: It's sickening, isn't it. Anyway, it's time for broadcast. It's
Speaker 2: four to six pm. I'm on the Red Carpet with
Speaker 2: Christian Wilkins and Richard Wilkins.
Speaker 4: They begin, then they go why did you say Christian Wilkinson,
Speaker 4: and then Richard Wilkins, did.
Speaker 2: I see a Wilkinson? Yeah, oh crap, just before we're
Speaker 2: going live? Accident, he said Wilkinson, and Richard was like,
Speaker 2: we gotta make sure no one, says Wilkinson. He didn't
Speaker 2: know it was me.
Speaker 4: So you're repeat offender.
Speaker 2: I know, I tell you, I don't understand names. It's
Speaker 2: showing it's a serious issue. It's clever and babe they
Speaker 2: throw to me. My first segment is talking to a fan.
Speaker 2: There's a fan zone on the carpet. Okay, so I
Speaker 2: cap the chase.
Speaker 3: Now fourteen, let's just get straight into it.
Speaker 2: Okay. The first time the interview is like this fan guy,
Speaker 2: he was lit. His name was Brad, such a legend
Speaker 2: and he was a massive I'm on the Sniffers fan sick.
Speaker 2: Then I'm on the Sniffers were meant to come in.
Speaker 2: Of course they're late, an hour late to give them.
Speaker 2: Then I move on to the next part of the carpet,
Speaker 2: and I gotta say I thought I was doing fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bit that I what do you call video
Speaker 4: recorded flechia, it's touching my dangling.
Speaker 2: That was a big ass piece that you ate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, I believe it's it's like sushi.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 4: When I was sitting in the crowd and I recorded
Speaker 4: a little snippy of for me and I think you
Speaker 4: were introducing picking duck, sounded amazing, really amazing, Okay, cool ah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, getting flashbacks around a part of the nights.
Speaker 3: You're being judged.
Speaker 2: He'd throw me off course, then I speak to Animal
Speaker 2: and the Sniffers, who's a massive fan of the podcast,
Speaker 2: so much so that at the after party we get
Speaker 2: out of the lift, Almal, the Sniffer's manager, says through me,
Speaker 2: when't you come straight over? There's someone that wants to
Speaker 2: meet you. It's Amy from Almal and the Sniffs. I
Speaker 2: sit down with her. Weig goedling like a house on fire,
Speaker 2: Double Gangers. She's so sweet. Yeah, my dad was like,
Speaker 2: I saw you in the car butt with the girl.
Speaker 2: She looks just like you, and she sounds like you
Speaker 2: when she's singing. Who are starting interview June Rats pisses,
Speaker 2: immediate rapport. I saw Vickar and Linda, who are my
Speaker 2: mum's cousins. Keep it in the family, so random ops everywhere.
Speaker 3: You can't even go to work without your family showing up.
Speaker 2: And it was all going well. Then we Christian I
Speaker 2: went to this fan zone, so there was this like
Speaker 2: it was we was called the green room, so they
Speaker 2: would cut to Christian and I during the live broadcast
Speaker 2: on Channel nine. Now, for some reason, perhaps I was
Speaker 2: like a little bit tired. I didn't realize that what
Speaker 2: we were saying was also going into the room. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so on the big screen where Flexi was sitting inside
Speaker 2: of the arias, we were getting live streamed.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so I didn't understand that either, but I
Speaker 4: guess that's the magic of TV. So when you're watching
Speaker 4: the arias online, you're gonna see inside the room a
Speaker 4: section you know, with threw me outside on the red carpet.
Speaker 3: And then also performances.
Speaker 4: Some performances were happening inside the space were pre recorded,
Speaker 4: and so I can imagine why you didn't think that
Speaker 4: what was happening outside is being broadcasted inside. But everything
Speaker 4: was being broadcasted inside and varying degrees of like importance.
Speaker 4: So sometimes you'd be broadcasting but the sound was down so.
Speaker 3: We couldn't really hear you.
Speaker 4: We could see you, and then sometimes you were cranked
Speaker 4: up because that was the priority. What were your thoughts, Well,
Speaker 4: I'd only saw you for a little bit because I
Speaker 4: saw what I filmed and then I was backstage.
Speaker 2: Oh true, because you weren't think.
Speaker 3: About was presenting a ward. But it's not about me,
Speaker 3: it's about.
Speaker 2: You, Okay. Then we watch it back to the fan zone,
Speaker 2: peeking Duck perform. The crowd is going wild, fantastic, Medley
Speaker 2: by the Boys, I must admit, and then who is ending?
Speaker 2: It was getting to the end of the night, okay,
Speaker 2: and it was time we were kind of doing this
Speaker 2: thing where we were back announcing people that are just
Speaker 2: ones who've got little que cards. But I don't like
Speaker 2: reading off a que card when I'm on camera because
Speaker 2: it looks a bit rookie. So in the EPA, someone's like, okay,
Speaker 2: you're going to announce who just performed. Then you're going
Speaker 2: to go through three winners. But often the times would change,
Speaker 2: but they're like, you got to do this in thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: You've got to fill two minutes. You know. It's like
Speaker 2: very much on the go. It's first time working with Christian.
Speaker 2: He was fantastic. I loved it. He brought a really punished,
Speaker 2: polished energy. I brought a bit more of a chaotic energy.
Speaker 2: But I actually that's what people want, That's what I
Speaker 2: want to watch. Anyway, Then about we've probably got like
Speaker 2: three more segments to do, so I probably got an
Speaker 2: hour and a half to go. Christian and I singing
Speaker 2: down and he goes, we're getting ripped online and I said,
Speaker 2: what I said, what's going on?
Speaker 4: And at that timing to let you know as well,
Speaker 4: we're getting ripped online in a good way.
Speaker 2: They love it or so, this was the first time
Speaker 2: that I realized i'd said I said, I had said
Speaker 2: something on air that I was not meant.
Speaker 4: To because up to that point, you like, we're just
Speaker 4: racing through it. We're killing it, we're killing it. I
Speaker 4: have flexed you to be like, what was that? Wait
Speaker 4: one more time? They set you up. They set you up.
Speaker 2: No, So what I did was I was back announcing
Speaker 2: the Chats had just won an award for their album
Speaker 2: Get Fucked Yeah, which we're allowed to say on air.
Speaker 2: In my day's haze and excitement, I accidentally said the
Speaker 2: chat's just one for fuck.
Speaker 3: You, which is abuse life on broadcast, and like you
Speaker 3: said it with a huge grin, you know what, Like it's.
Speaker 2: Actually quite strange for to be this live. Often with
Speaker 2: live there's like a one hour delay, yeah, whereas is
Speaker 2: live on the.
Speaker 3: TV, like even like Live ish, where it's like being
Speaker 3: cut up.
Speaker 2: And then this was fully live ten seconds to live.
Speaker 2: So of course I said the F word you're not
Speaker 2: meant to say on broadcast. I know, an m raated thing.
Speaker 2: I say fuck you.
Speaker 3: And you get penalties. I'm pretty sure not you, but.
Speaker 2: Yes, well I don't think they will in this timeslot
Speaker 2: because it was after eight, it was eight fifteen PM.
Speaker 2: But like, no one ticks me off or anything, so
Speaker 2: I thought it was fine. And the EP John Lay
Speaker 2: is a fucking legend. He's this Irish guy that got
Speaker 2: me through the door last year. And then Christians like
Speaker 2: getting ripped. I look up the article. They've picked the
Speaker 2: most savage picture of us two. I'm like screamed, like
Speaker 2: not screaming, but I look like a banshee and it's
Speaker 2: like the worst defenders of the night were. Should I
Speaker 2: read it to you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, read it out?
Speaker 4: I will say, though, this is why we have to
Speaker 4: be really specific with asking for stuff, because we all
Speaker 4: want headlines.
Speaker 3: My headline was a nipple story.
Speaker 4: I didn't tell your headline is getting ripped at the
Speaker 4: AUS while you're doing that. It's really odd to read
Speaker 4: journalism that is so scathing. I felt like there was
Speaker 4: a point in time where we were past that, only because,
Speaker 4: especially in the Australian media landscape, it's so easy to
Speaker 4: figure out who's who and who's writing it that they
Speaker 4: just don't want to deal with it. I remember one
Speaker 4: time Daily Mail hit me up to use some of
Speaker 4: my content. I was like, nah, I'm good when they
Speaker 4: use it anyway. And I was like, babes, why did
Speaker 4: you ask She's like, I'm a huge fan, Like I
Speaker 4: didn't know, and then I asked my my whatever, my manager,
Speaker 4: and she said it was fine. I don't need to
Speaker 4: ask you because you're a celebrity. But I just wanted
Speaker 4: to talk to you, and I didn't know how to
Speaker 4: talk to you. And I was like, okay, it has
Speaker 4: to stop. Okay, that's the start, but please go on.
Speaker 4: You've got the article here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to be fed this guy that wrote it,
Speaker 2: he put his name on it. I used to be
Speaker 2: in this situation where I'd write articles. Of course, I'm
Speaker 2: just saying the generic like I took my author name
Speaker 2: off it, which is yeah, Betty. The worst offenders who
Speaker 2: were backs to wait, to be honest, a headline they've
Speaker 2: picked the hottest picture of like we look good in
Speaker 2: that picture.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that picture. At the release, what's the headline?
Speaker 2: The headline was just like savaging the aria's full stop
Speaker 2: the whole broadcast, right, which is bullshit, But here we go.
Speaker 2: The worst offenders were backstage host Christian Wilkins and Lucinda FROMES.
Speaker 2: Let's just cut it there. My name's Lucinda, Frome's Price,
Speaker 2: it's Liciner Price, It's Froomes.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so let you you've got that wrong. Okay,
Speaker 3: You're not the.
Speaker 2: Only one who appeared frequently throughout the night, but seem
Speaker 2: to have no idea what was going on? Love that
Speaker 2: then it said that it goes.
Speaker 3: Straight into a quote from me another quote.
Speaker 2: The Best Hard Rock Award went to the Chats for
Speaker 2: Fuck You Friends announced letting an uncensored F bomb slip
Speaker 2: on Channelmind at around eight fifteen pm. Then in brackets
Speaker 2: in fact, the Chats album is get Fucked. So, I
Speaker 2: mean he's not wrong.
Speaker 3: There are a few things here. A lie is not one, So.
Speaker 2: You know that hurt. No, it didn't actually hurt my feeling.
Speaker 2: It was quite funny. Like, I just hope that no
Speaker 2: one in the producer team or on Channel nine like
Speaker 2: is angry at me, because otherwise I think I did
Speaker 2: a pretty good job.
Speaker 4: Would they be angry at you? I mean I don't
Speaker 4: think they get paid enough to be angry.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Facts. Then of course we went to the half party.
Speaker 2: I went to the Warner Aft party first and we've
Speaker 2: run out of time. Oh but we have after party.
Speaker 3: We'll have to do it in another party break though.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think we should just save it for our hearts. Okay,
Speaker 2: I definitely stayed up till five am. Yeah, I'll put
Speaker 2: it that way. Yeah, there were some salacious things occurring
Speaker 2: that we will not put to broadcast. But all also
Speaker 2: is fantastic times all around, we loved it.
Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: My name is Frooms and I am a certified eco warrior.
Speaker 2: And in viro Star some would say a bin girl. Yeah,
Speaker 2: go a bin girl. And a few weeks ago, I
Speaker 2: came across this headline in the City Morning Herald publication
Speaker 2: of choice, and it says Mars Bars Snickers get paper
Speaker 2: makeover a mid soft plastic recycling crisis. I never thought
Speaker 2: that the chocolate bar, a chocolate bar, could have a
Speaker 2: paper wrapper.
Speaker 3: I'm going to google this.
Speaker 2: I guess don't block chocolate to do paper wrappers? Do
Speaker 2: they do paper wrappers? No, you can't recycle those. They're
Speaker 2: still shiny. Take a little peak at this Mars Bar
Speaker 2: in the paper pack and I get a closer look.
Speaker 3: Please, I just want to see the texture of that.
Speaker 3: I mean they still look plastic from here.
Speaker 4: They've got to work on the texture, all right, make
Speaker 4: it more craft brown, like school paper, lunch bag vibe.
Speaker 2: I'd love that. So this is in response to the
Speaker 2: Red Cycle recycling crisis, very what would you say, scandalous discovery,
Speaker 2: which was that Red Cycle, which was Australia's premiere soft
Speaker 2: plastic recycling body was actually just storing the plastic bags
Speaker 2: in a massive warehouse far off location, which was very upset.
Speaker 4: He thought he thought we were my bed, they said
Speaker 4: to clarify.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how to feel about this because
Speaker 2: I know in Australia things are prone to melting, and
Speaker 2: I feel like when things are in a like shiny
Speaker 2: plastic aluminium kind of situation, if they melt, it's okay.
Speaker 2: But if it's melting and plastic, that feels dangerous. Melting
Speaker 2: and paper you mean yes, sorry in paper. So what
Speaker 2: you're saying is you care about the environment, but not
Speaker 2: that much. Do you know what?
Speaker 4: I do see that the little mock up you showed
Speaker 4: us of that looks like a mock up. I feel
Speaker 4: like what Big Choco has done is said, hey, let's
Speaker 4: catabalize catabalize.
Speaker 2: What's with the words today?
Speaker 3: Doesn't capitalize? What does it mean?
Speaker 4: Let's capitalize on this discussion, create a little mock up,
Speaker 4: get the articles out.
Speaker 3: Still.
Speaker 2: People say they're.
Speaker 4: Not going to do a full packaging rehaul. They're gonna
Speaker 4: definitely talk about doing it so people like them, and
Speaker 4: then say like is coming, and then never do it
Speaker 4: and then say it's too hard. Yeah, we'll see. Just
Speaker 4: you know what, it reminds you of the people who said,
Speaker 4: flex and frooms, let's make some real meat out of
Speaker 4: your cells, and then we said, yeah, let's do it,
Speaker 4: and then they ghosted us.
Speaker 3: It's the same exact vibes.
Speaker 4: I just want to gauge interest so their pr improves
Speaker 4: and then not do it.
Speaker 2: That was so heavy, so heavy.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to bring that up.
Speaker 2: Maybe next maybe next year, they'll see that the crisis
Speaker 2: is really happening. The world's about to burn, so they
Speaker 2: may as well make some clones.
Speaker 3: Literally, we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2: What about if your brain is actually stored in other
Speaker 2: parts of your body.
Speaker 1: That's probably why this is flex and frooms on.
Speaker 4: Every day we request you send us your moral dilemmas
Speaker 4: in the form of am I the assholes.
Speaker 3: The assholes. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Perhaps basically how that goes is you have a scenario
Speaker 4: in which you're trying to determine who's a bad guy,
Speaker 4: who's the good guy. Good and bad doesn't exist. But
Speaker 4: in the court of rooms and Flex it absolutely died
Speaker 4: there switched around. It absolutely does. Okay, listen to this person.
Speaker 4: His name is let me not say their name just
Speaker 4: in case. But the message went like this, Hey, FLEXI
Speaker 4: I need to know if me and my bestie were
Speaker 4: in the wrong for some beef that went down. And
Speaker 4: then five voice notes.
Speaker 2: Oh dear, at least it's not one long one play
Speaker 2: me and five.
Speaker 5: Other friends when I went on school is and because
Speaker 5: we just finished twelve day yay. And so basically, the
Speaker 5: girl that was booking at We're called Taco Taco. We said,
Speaker 5: you're booking it, so you get the master bedroom. Me
Speaker 5: and my best friend Tate, we were sharing a bed,
Speaker 5: two other of my close friends, Black and Jam. They
Speaker 5: were in a room with two single beds, and then
Speaker 5: another guy called Jack, who was in his own room.
Speaker 5: And we get to the place before Taco and we mean,
Speaker 5: take go to our room, and it's like, I'm normally
Speaker 5: small and We're the only two people sharing a bed,
Speaker 5: and we were like, we can't function here for a week,
Speaker 5: so like, what are we going to do? Tarco hasn't
Speaker 5: got to the house yet, so we're going to staunch
Speaker 5: the master bedroom.
Speaker 2: Also, every does anyone have.
Speaker 3: To take names?
Speaker 4: Because we are from Taco to Blanche to take jem Jack.
Speaker 5: I'll go guess the house and we tell her and
Speaker 5: she's happy with her She's fine to stop rooms. Which
Speaker 5: her room is now a loft room above Jack's room
Speaker 5: and it's kind of detached from the house. You have
Speaker 5: to go outside to get to it.
Speaker 1: And ten pm rolls around.
Speaker 5: I'm in the shower, takes in the room and Taco
Speaker 5: comes in and she goes, we're shopping rooms, like I'm
Speaker 5: not comfortable in They're like, I'm not close with Jack
Speaker 5: and like I need my own personal space and we
Speaker 5: need to stop rooms. Tat's like, okay, it's ten pm.
Speaker 2: We're about to go to.
Speaker 1: Sleep on school.
Speaker 5: Is I know lame, but you know it was that
Speaker 5: kind of that, and she's like, go sleep on it
Speaker 5: and we'll come back to you in the morning. She leaves,
Speaker 5: she comes back two minutes later, goes, now we have
Speaker 5: to swop rooms, and Tate's like, okay, let me go
Speaker 5: to your room. We'll suss it out, and kind of
Speaker 5: showing how that it's not functional for two people with
Speaker 5: massive suitcases to sleep in this abnormally small room. While
Speaker 5: that is happening, I'm with Blythe and Gym telling them
Speaker 5: the switch. They've come in and they're offering to sob
Speaker 5: rooms with her, and I'm like, no, that's not fair,
Speaker 5: Like if anyone's sapping, it's going to be me and
Speaker 5: Tate like obviously, like we wouldn't do that to them. Anyway,
Speaker 5: Ta comes back, Blathe and German now are in our
Speaker 5: room as we're like getting ready for bed. Taco comes
Speaker 5: back in and she's like, okay, I'm putting my foot down.
Speaker 5: We need to swap room right now. And at this
Speaker 5: point I had cracked a little and I said, no,
Speaker 5: we are not stewing rooms.
Speaker 1: Go back.
Speaker 5: But the others are a bit more generous than me,
Speaker 5: so I just let them talk. And anyway, Blythe had
Speaker 5: offered for her and Tarco to swap room and Jum
Speaker 5: will get the single mattress from there and put it
Speaker 5: in the master bedroom with me and Tape. So then
Speaker 5: Taco is now in her own room and blats up
Speaker 5: in the other room. We has in this situation because
Speaker 5: we didn't swamp rooms with her or was it her
Speaker 5: fault because she's just being a bit entitled, you know,
Speaker 5: and like now we're all kind of split up. Someone's
Speaker 5: on a mattress for the whole week. She's in this
Speaker 5: room with two single beds, like because she wanted to
Speaker 5: wear pilates in the morning, and like we get the
Speaker 5: ship fee comfortable because she wasn't that close with him,
Speaker 5: bit jack, But it's kind of like we're on school,
Speaker 5: you're gonna get close, and it wasn't that.
Speaker 4: Bad before we get into the analysis the unpacking. This
Speaker 4: person did want to start a group chat with all
Speaker 4: of us, but couldn't do that because you've turned off
Speaker 4: your message request. People can't send through me messages unless
Speaker 4: she follows them. So now I'm getting stuck with everything.
Speaker 4: Who is the arsehole for me?
Speaker 2: Please? I'm so sorry to Dylan. What's his Harry? Harry babes?
Speaker 3: What is going on up there?
Speaker 2: I told you I don't know how to remember name.
Speaker 3: It's gonna fraction, believe you, but I do really well, Okay.
Speaker 2: I think Okay, I kind of like how it ended up,
Speaker 2: which is somebody else switching with the woman who booked it.
Speaker 2: I think she does need to have Maybe she doesn't
Speaker 2: get the biggest room, but she needs to have her
Speaker 2: own space with no one else in it. That's fair enough.
Speaker 2: You should have waited until she got there instead of
Speaker 2: going straight in, because if someone did that to me
Speaker 2: when we'd all agreed on something, I might kick up
Speaker 2: a stink.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fighting words.
Speaker 2: It's fighting words, and my biggest anxiety when I go
Speaker 2: away with friends to an airbnb is that they're going
Speaker 2: to get there first and get the best room. I
Speaker 2: think it should be a collaborative effort. Otherwise it gets
Speaker 2: off on the wrong.
Speaker 4: Foot because I would definitely if I got there first,
Speaker 4: I would take whatever room I felt entitled to. In
Speaker 4: this instance, knowing what we know, the person who booked
Speaker 4: the accommodation should get should get some kind of perk.
Speaker 4: I agree, committing to the master room feels fair. However,
Speaker 4: like you said, grass, cutting them before they can decide
Speaker 4: is terrible. On the adverse, though, I'm someone who's done
Speaker 4: a fair few group trips in my life, and the
Speaker 4: only way to ensure that a group trip, that a
Speaker 4: group trip functions well, is that everybody needs to suck
Speaker 4: it up, every single person. I don't care what it
Speaker 4: is that you think you feel so strongly about, whether
Speaker 4: it's accommodation in the location, what you're doing, when you're
Speaker 4: doing it, you got to suck it up because the
Speaker 4: moment one person starts to complain, it sets a chain
Speaker 4: of events and everybody starts to complain about stuff well,
Speaker 4: and then this listen, it's just too much given its schoolies,
Speaker 4: and you're already get loose. I would assume that you
Speaker 4: just go down the path of least resistance at all
Speaker 4: times totally, because.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a few bevers into you, and that's
Speaker 2: been stuff will fire up. It's impossible, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: to go away and school is and not have some
Speaker 2: sort of blow up.
Speaker 3: Oh and I feel possible.
Speaker 2: It's impossible.
Speaker 4: I stand by what I said, but definitely fix that
Speaker 4: issue now because you don't want school is to be
Speaker 4: the detriment of your relationship. Granted the damage is done,
Speaker 4: but be the bigger bitch in this instance and just
Speaker 4: you know, be like you know what, so sorry l
Speaker 4: l L, and then make up.
Speaker 2: I totally agree.
Speaker 3: Repress, suppress, survive.
Speaker 2: It's a bit too real.
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms on Kita.
Speaker 4: A new theory just dropped everyone. Not from my brain, unfortunately,
Speaker 4: and I will disclose I did not even watch the
Speaker 4: full video because one thing I cannot fake is being
Speaker 4: surprised or seeing something for the first time. I don't
Speaker 4: know what my face does when I'm surprised. I don't
Speaker 4: know what my face does when I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 4: is genuinely interesting. So when I see something cool, I
Speaker 4: do the first fifteen seconds and then I save it.
Speaker 4: So this person wants to talk about the concept of
Speaker 4: the unrealized pick me girl. Do we know what a
Speaker 4: pick me is?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: A girl that is different to other girls and is
Speaker 2: waiting to be picked by, genuinely usually a man.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: So generally a pick me is the kind of girl
Speaker 4: who does anything for a man to approval, probably almost
Speaker 4: always throw another girl under the bus to do it,
Speaker 4: or trying to differentiate themselves from other women.
Speaker 3: I'm not like them. I don't even wear makeup, I
Speaker 3: like sports, and I naturally blonde.
Speaker 4: Naturally blonde, of course, I'm just so skinny, peteat and tiny,
Speaker 4: like you could pick me up right now, and like
Speaker 4: pick me you can pick me out if you wanted to.
Speaker 4: But this new theory just drops it.
Speaker 3: Let's hear it.
Speaker 6: You need to talk about And I literally tell us
Speaker 6: some of my friends all the time that, like Sophia,
Speaker 6: we get it.
Speaker 2: I shut up.
Speaker 6: I am just beamboozled by a certain kind of person.
Speaker 6: And I just like, I have this theory that needs
Speaker 6: to be talked about because I know your friends are
Speaker 6: like no other girl like this, and it just needs
Speaker 6: to like there needs to be a name for it.
Speaker 3: So I'm giving you one.
Speaker 2: Basically, I'm calling her.
Speaker 6: The unrealized Pigmy girl. And before we get in my
Speaker 6: comments and you're like, why why are we hating pick
Speaker 6: me girls? Girls should be lifting each other up, like
Speaker 6: go women.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 6: I never wanted to pit Haley against Lena. I never
Speaker 6: thought that was a good idea.
Speaker 2: I love all women.
Speaker 3: I don't pick sides.
Speaker 6: But when it comes to the unrealized pick me girl,
Speaker 6: it is nothing near even.
Speaker 2: Close to like judgmental.
Speaker 6: This is like an obsession, Like I am completely utterly
Speaker 6: entranced by this person, So I need to discuss it.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: I realized pick me.
Speaker 6: Girl radiates confidence. She looks like she woke up from
Speaker 6: a ten hour nap every time you see her. But
Speaker 6: her mascara is perfect, and she's like in sweats and
Speaker 6: a hoodie, but she's never looked better, and it's giving
Speaker 6: clean girl, but massy girl.
Speaker 3: But it's it's not.
Speaker 6: Even like has to do with anything that she's wearing,
Speaker 6: because it really doesn't matter. She looks good in a
Speaker 6: tight dress, she looks good in sweatpants.
Speaker 2: It's because she's just.
Speaker 6: So pretty, and because she's so pretty, she has an
Speaker 6: incredible amount of guy friends. But her personality is like
Speaker 6: over the top good, like she is super funny, like
Speaker 6: smart on the low, but like not in your face
Speaker 6: like you just like you know she has a but
Speaker 6: she's so funny. She says things that I could never say,
Speaker 6: you can never say because they're just like chill and
Speaker 6: like funny and they make sense.
Speaker 2: Even if she said slay, it would.
Speaker 6: Be like okay, like hah, but like what everyone says slay,
Speaker 6: Like that's not anything. She just like stays so unproblematic
Speaker 6: and you're just so confused by it because she's friends
Speaker 6: like popular people and guys and just like she's just
Speaker 6: like friendly with everyone and like she's never in the
Speaker 6: center of the drama. She's just like she's not about
Speaker 6: that life. And she the I realized pick me apart
Speaker 6: is because she definitely.
Speaker 2: Like had like a bunch.
Speaker 6: Of older brothers or like something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but she just likes
Speaker 1: guy friends.
Speaker 6: She just like is so easy.
Speaker 4: Around boys and she enough, Sophia, but thank you for that.
Speaker 4: That did come from a publication called Dear MONDAYE and
Speaker 4: it's a publication for teens. And this is what gets
Speaker 4: me because when I first listened to besides the preamble,
Speaker 4: the first fifteen seconds of the point, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 4: you just talk about like a well rounded person. I
Speaker 4: guess you don't have well rounded people when you're a teenager,
Speaker 4: because everybody is living in that extreme of like those
Speaker 4: puberty like I like what I like and I will
Speaker 4: never like what I don't like. And then you meet
Speaker 4: someone who's like varied, you know, you want maybe a paradoxical.
Speaker 4: They're as loud as they are quiet, as bold as
Speaker 4: they are shy, like this one unrealized pick me.
Speaker 2: Let it be?
Speaker 3: Would you say let her be?
Speaker 2: But is that a kind of pil pick me girl
Speaker 2: thing to say.
Speaker 4: No, because I mean, okay, my my cheat sheet for
Speaker 4: identifying a pickny is, are they doing it for the
Speaker 4: unbeknownst validation of men or the patriarchy? Now us saying
Speaker 4: leave girls alone, that's just for our benefit, because I
Speaker 4: don't want to be the person who's being being perceived
Speaker 4: as an unrealized pick me because I have older brothers
Speaker 4: and I'm pretty.
Speaker 2: Putting my pretty privileged aside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, putting that aside, because I'm just like one.
Speaker 2: Of all of you people, the coming man.
Speaker 4: But I will say I do love hearing people id
Speaker 4: eight on theory. It's not for everyone, it's for some people,
Speaker 4: But I do want to sit with that because I
Speaker 4: think the concept of an unrealized pigmy definitely exists, but
Speaker 4: I think that's just picknies.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I think that, though, invites other people
Speaker 2: into define what a pigmy is, and that's a really,
Speaker 2: really fantastic first step regardless.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, that's hot.
Speaker 1: You're listening to flex and Frooms on Kita Flexi.
Speaker 2: I went and got a facial the other day.
Speaker 3: Hectic pre Arius for the Arius to.
Speaker 2: Look for my glow up at the arius.
Speaker 3: You do look really good.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I go to the same woman in my hometown,
Speaker 2: my local town that I live in right now, she's appraising. Well,
Speaker 2: this is the thing. She is a facial to the
Speaker 2: stars and whoever else gets her number. So she has
Speaker 2: no website. Ooh, no like phone anywhere. If you try
Speaker 2: and google the business, that doesn't come up. She's purely
Speaker 2: through referrals of her number. So you text this random
Speaker 2: number and you're like, Sabina, She's like, yeah, hi, or
Speaker 2: three or two pm today.
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with that and chext your energy queen exactly.
Speaker 2: What is one of the hardest type of facials to
Speaker 2: do is the extraction facial, which is where have you
Speaker 2: had one?
Speaker 3: No, but I've seen them on the internet. I'm very
Speaker 3: scared of them.
Speaker 4: It's when they kind of like squeeze stuff out of
Speaker 4: your paws, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, squeeze the black heads out. I get a lot
Speaker 2: of black heads in t zone. Okay, So when we go,
Speaker 2: I'm crying because it hurts.
Speaker 3: See I can't.
Speaker 4: I don't like any kind of therapeutic practice that hurts
Speaker 4: in any capacity.
Speaker 2: If it hurts not doing it. It's like every time
Speaker 2: I get a massage. It hurts because I don't know
Speaker 2: how to say I want it lighter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, what pressure do you want? I say light?
Speaker 4: They laugh every time, but I'm not getting hurt when
Speaker 4: I leave them. You gotta say lie and then if
Speaker 4: there's rude to do, like a little bit medium, you
Speaker 4: say but you can't say, you know, medium, and then
Speaker 4: go down to the light. They don't know, they don't know.
Speaker 4: They're it wrong every time.
Speaker 2: I also got a secondary treatment to the squeezing, which
Speaker 2: was light therapy. Have you ever heard of it?
Speaker 3: Is that the what do we call him?
Speaker 2: The dais gross?
Speaker 3: No, I'm thinking Michael horror movie mask? Red light?
Speaker 2: Oh, Michael Meyer, Michael Meyer, what's that about?
Speaker 3: Don't worry? But yeah, I think it's the white mask,
Speaker 3: the red light.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, Like you go at home, people have
Speaker 2: that like crazy terminator mask thing on correct. Well, I
Speaker 2: got one in salon. So what happens is you lie
Speaker 2: down and there's a massive like semi circle thing goes
Speaker 2: over your head and it's red light. It's so bright
Speaker 2: and it's supposed to like regenerate yourselves. Every time I
Speaker 2: go to a salon, they up sell me something I
Speaker 2: don't know whether to believe it. It's like when you
Speaker 2: get a peel, a face peel, what's that about? But
Speaker 2: I googled it and apparently there's like some research on
Speaker 2: it some and that it does do something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, I am also those people that I don't really
Speaker 4: mind if it doesn't do anything.
Speaker 3: I wanted to feel good.
Speaker 2: This didn't feel good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's take that out of the treatment for
Speaker 4: next time. It's just an extra hour and a half for.
Speaker 2: What totally twenty minutes, only twenty twenty minutes because there's
Speaker 2: little tiny goggles on, like when you go, you know,
Speaker 2: some people go, so would you recommend? Ah?
Speaker 4: No, I mean do you think I look good right now?
Speaker 4: I mean you looked amazing, but you always look amazing.
Speaker 4: People are always in my DM telling me that your
Speaker 4: skin looks great. So I feel like, you know, not
Speaker 4: to say that Sabina isn't putting in work for you.
Speaker 3: Perhaps she has been doing work this whole time, but
Speaker 3: I'm just saying we might have to go back and
Speaker 3: try it again.
