Speaker 1: The Flex and Frooms daily podcast, tell.
Speaker 2: It's with angels, we are back. I know for a
Speaker 2: fact that when you hear the dulcet tones of Frumi's
Speaker 2: voice and like my sometimes Baritoni tiney voice, it's a
Speaker 2: weird combination, but we make it work. Your heart races,
Speaker 2: you get excited, dope, mean level.
Speaker 3: Spike Pavlov, Doggy's eel hit the nail on the head, Let's.
Speaker 2: Do it, hit it DJ Flex, And I feel like
Speaker 2: everything that I've come to know about Elon Musk has
Speaker 2: been against my will. He sounds like you'd be part
Speaker 2: of my community, but I don't vibe. But here is
Speaker 2: the thing. When I was doing my daily Internet scroll
Speaker 2: as I do, I came across what I thought was
Speaker 2: a clickbait headline Elon Musk richest man in the world
Speaker 2: couch surfs, and I was thinking, okay, cool, right, like
Speaker 2: what you stay your famous friends places. It is worse
Speaker 2: than that. He's on some kind of tirade trying to
Speaker 2: convince all of us that he's just a regular guy.
Speaker 2: And despite his bajillion quadrillionaire status, he does not have
Speaker 2: any assets, none of it's liquid. He just like exists
Speaker 2: as I don't know a corporate bum. So I'm reading
Speaker 2: this article and he's like, I don't even own a
Speaker 2: home right now. And when I did, it was one
Speaker 2: that I bought for fifty thousand dollars in Boca Chica.
Speaker 2: I don't know where that is.
Speaker 4: Is that a real thing? She didn't make that up?
Speaker 4: Who knows?
Speaker 2: Who knows? And what do we do here? We don't
Speaker 2: fact check anyway. And then he says, and when I
Speaker 2: come to LA, I just couch surf. I just hit
Speaker 2: up a friend and I ask if I can stay
Speaker 2: there and they say, yeah, that's cool, and that's what
Speaker 2: I do. And I'm thinking, Okay. When I'm thinking couch surf,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, you know a friend that lives in a
Speaker 2: share house, five person sharehouse, three bedrooms terrace. But if
Speaker 2: you're a billionaire with other billionaire friends, is it really
Speaker 2: CouchSurfing if all of your friends have sixteen room properties.
Speaker 2: Probably not. And I think he knows. I think it's
Speaker 2: being very particular and the language is using. But then
Speaker 2: it made me think, right, let's say he is telling
Speaker 2: the truth, right, what is his networth two hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty something billion dollars? Well, what would we do. What
Speaker 2: is one bum adjacent activity that we would maintain if
Speaker 2: we so happen to become multi billionaires? My one, for sure, Macas,
Speaker 2: I am never giving it up.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say it to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm never giving it up.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say.
Speaker 2: There is no reality in which I'm not giving up McDonald's.
Speaker 2: And the thing is I should be giving up dairy.
Speaker 2: I'm a Flemmy girl. You know. There's always a bit
Speaker 2: of mucus just backed up in this throat. And I'm
Speaker 2: sure the Marcas isn't helping.
Speaker 3: I reckon they make the one that doesn't have lucktose
Speaker 3: in it so they can sell it to the most.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can pump it into people. Ah, still not
Speaker 2: giving it up. You gotta pick another one. You can't
Speaker 2: just take mine. I can rattle off a few ideas,
Speaker 2: always wanting to split at dinner. If you're a billionaire,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Like it's all on you. It is always
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 4: See, this can go really badly.
Speaker 3: I have this story about someone that I know who
Speaker 3: was good friends with this couple that like multi multi
Speaker 3: multimillionaires in Sydney. They're like in their thirties, and this
Speaker 3: woman was really good friends with the.
Speaker 4: Woman, and.
Speaker 2: You lost me.
Speaker 3: The man and the woman married the other woman. The
Speaker 3: other woman has an Uber account that was linked nah
Speaker 3: to the credit card of the other two Nah, And
Speaker 3: for a whole year, every single thing you did on
Speaker 3: Uber went to their credit card.
Speaker 4: Then one day they get their bill.
Speaker 2: How did they arrange that though? How did that happen?
Speaker 4: I don't know?
Speaker 3: Maybe just once she was like, I need a card
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of grass all at once.
Speaker 4: And would you say that's on them? No?
Speaker 2: Because how often are you going back to dinner with
Speaker 2: your friends? Once a week on average? Maybe maybe less,
Speaker 2: maybe more. I think you've got it. I'm not even
Speaker 2: a millionaire. I would take it.
Speaker 4: I say that for you though you're very magnanimous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like everyone can get it. It's like if
Speaker 2: we're eating I got it anyway, So don't be a
Speaker 2: billionaire around rooms.
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms.
Speaker 4: We're both wearing denim today.
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: It means where you're wearing denim pants. I'm reading a
Speaker 3: denim dress. It's a year hard kind of situation.
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm giving? Yeh, You're always giving the
Speaker 2: car my socks and slides, my mesh great imprint top,
Speaker 2: and my denim trousers.
Speaker 4: It's modern.
Speaker 3: Yeha yimha. You know how we love doing am I
Speaker 3: the Asshole? We do, which is basically when we give
Speaker 3: you a dilemma and we have to debate the asshole. Yeah,
Speaker 3: who'se asshole? Often it's everybody involved. Yeah, that's what we twist.
Speaker 3: Everybody sucks exactly.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I have found an app online called You Are the Asshole,
Speaker 3: which is a little AI bot and you can give
Speaker 3: in your scenario and they'll give you like ready made answers.
Speaker 3: Huh so it uses language generated powering systems. Every time
Speaker 3: I've made that up. I don't know exactly what it is,
Speaker 3: but it's artificial intelligence, which corroborates all of the different
Speaker 3: kind of like words and phrases people use on Reddit
Speaker 3: in those threads to throw out ones that are specific
Speaker 3: to your question. Whow so for example, Yeah, here it is.
Speaker 3: You just type in what you want to ask?
Speaker 4: What did you ask? I asked my name is.
Speaker 3: Through me and my co host flex Mummy smells like
Speaker 3: Dorito's most cheesy flavor.
Speaker 2: That is a lie. Let me just stop it there, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll stop it. There have it on good authority that
Speaker 2: I smell good most of the time. Well, doritos is
Speaker 2: not very me plus no free promo cecs.
Speaker 3: Then my co host flex Mummy smells like most cheesy cecs.
Speaker 3: Am I the asshole for telling her?
Speaker 2: But you haven't. You have not disclosed one.
Speaker 4: I'm trying it out. This is what the bot says.
Speaker 4: There's three responses. Tell her straight, mummy, you are stinking
Speaker 4: up the joint.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good one.
Speaker 3: The second one is what the f The third one
Speaker 3: is Honestly, this is getting worse. You're now asking if
Speaker 3: you're the asshole for telling them their food tastes like shape.
Speaker 2: Wait. So, essentially it's like giving this thing, this AI bot,
Speaker 2: a scenario where you need to determine who's the asshole,
Speaker 2: and they'll give you a list of pre generated responses
Speaker 2: based on data that they've found from Reddit.
Speaker 4: Exactly.
Speaker 2: That's genius.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it's so so good. And yeah, this the
Speaker 3: last one that I'll leave you on. This isn't a
Speaker 3: competition to see who can be the freshest host. It's
Speaker 3: a question of etiquette and respect.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I.
Speaker 1: Love that this is flex and frooms, Kita, I want to.
Speaker 2: Read you out something. I want you to tell me
Speaker 2: if I made it up or if it's in fact
Speaker 2: a fact. I'm surprised people don't think I'm lying. Most
Speaker 2: of the time it's something in my tone. I'dn't even
Speaker 2: believe me sometimes. Okay. Headline is Walmart promises to stop
Speaker 2: playing Selene Dion and Justin Bieber in stalls to improve
Speaker 2: employee morale. Fact or cap.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it's a fact.
Speaker 2: It's cap. Oh, I'm kidding, so you really pull it's
Speaker 2: a fact. Basically, a couple of years ago, Walmart introduced
Speaker 2: this plan to improve the livelihood of their employees. They
Speaker 2: were getting a lot of bad feedback. They're okay, we're
Speaker 2: taking it seriously. Now, this is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: So in and amongst raising mimom wages and offering you know,
Speaker 2: award rates and things like that, they agreed that it
Speaker 2: would stop forcing staff to listen to the same songs
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. And there was a
Speaker 2: high proportion of that was purely Justin Bieber and Selene Dion.
Speaker 3: As in, they made it Justin Bieber and Selendon what
Speaker 3: as in they added.
Speaker 2: More and those and they took more away because the
Speaker 2: majority of the playlists were Slein and Justin. Really they
Speaker 2: were like, we see a link between that and your attitudes,
Speaker 2: and like what era of Justin? But I don't know
Speaker 2: the questions? Am I on trial?
Speaker 3: Here?
Speaker 1: Say you're listening to flex and frooms on Keita.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know how to make twenty two
Speaker 2: million dollars in one year?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 2: I selling all those TikTok people. Are you not doing crypto?
Speaker 2: You got to do cryptocurrency anyway? We are too entrepreneurs,
Speaker 2: some may say as the kids like to say, kids
Speaker 2: and boomers alike, And i'd know about you. But I
Speaker 2: do like to do a bit of research on how
Speaker 2: to add a zero to my P and L to
Speaker 2: my income tax statement. Yeah, and I like to seek
Speaker 2: out unique advice. I don't want to go to the
Speaker 2: like how to get rich, you know, seven habits of
Speaker 2: highly affected people, that's played out, it's done, and it's
Speaker 2: almost working too well that there's no room for me
Speaker 2: to capitalize on. So on, going to the alternate route,
Speaker 2: I found out about a seven year old kid, a
Speaker 2: YouTuber actually, who made twenty two million dollars in one
Speaker 2: year on YouTube playing with toys. Let's just let that
Speaker 2: sink in. Most people aren't making their first million ever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and this kid, a whole seven year old, has made
Speaker 2: twenty two Can seven year old even.
Speaker 4: Spell when you say first million? Do you mean a
Speaker 4: million in a year? No?
Speaker 2: First million in their lifetime? People aren't making their first
Speaker 2: million ever. But he actually did an interview right, and
Speaker 2: he said, this is his formula on how he made
Speaker 2: his millions first film yourself opening a toy. He plays
Speaker 2: with everything from dinosaurs and legos to action figures and
Speaker 2: surprise eggs.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool.
Speaker 2: Step two, explain all the toys features while playing with them,
Speaker 2: and then step three is you upload the video to YouTube.
Speaker 4: Three step And.
Speaker 2: That might sound overly simple, but it's actually quite genius
Speaker 2: because what he's done here is said, Hey, this is
Speaker 2: just repetition, Pape. I do the same thing every time.
Speaker 2: It's worked once, I keep doing it and now I'm
Speaker 2: a millionaire. And the thing that gets me I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: what is the breakdown of this twenty two million right?
Speaker 2: Where's it all coming from? Sponos advertising? He makes twenty
Speaker 2: one million dollars just from the ads that run in
Speaker 2: the middle before and after His video is really twenty
Speaker 2: one million. And I know they say that, you know,
Speaker 2: making kid friendly content is where the coins is because
Speaker 2: everyone can advertise to kids. He makes one million dollars
Speaker 2: from sponsored content and that's it. That's in one year.
Speaker 4: One year.
Speaker 2: So you know, if you want to be rich and famous,
Speaker 2: do what the kids do. The kids are the future.
Speaker 2: Do not listen to anyone who tells you to.
Speaker 4: Go to UNI.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I was watching Trade be a doctor. It's dead,
Speaker 2: It's played out?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Every doctor I know stressed and broke hating it. How
Speaker 2: many child millionaires do you know?
Speaker 1: One?
Speaker 2: But I'm sure there's plenty more where he came from.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, Well I heard I was on a walk
Speaker 3: yesterday with a friend and she was saying that her
Speaker 3: friend's a primary school teacher and apparently at one school
Speaker 3: they just don't even concentrate because they're like, I don't
Speaker 3: need to learn because I'm going to become YouTube famous.
Speaker 4: That's a real thing. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: That's a real thing.
Speaker 4: You know, Like, you're kind of not wrong.
Speaker 2: They're very wrong. They're extremely wrong. The odds are not
Speaker 2: in their favor. However, how can you convince the kid
Speaker 2: that though you spend their whole you know, formative year
Speaker 2: saying like, you know, do whatever you want and like
Speaker 2: pick something you're really excited by and pick something that
Speaker 2: makes you happy. And then they're like, I want to
Speaker 2: be a YouTube and you're like, m would you be
Speaker 2: studying medicine because I feel that for you. I feel
Speaker 2: like the world needs doctors. You know, who's bringing our
Speaker 2: online shopping orders to the house, who's making them chickens?
Speaker 2: If we're not going to do it because everyone wants
Speaker 2: to be a twenty two million dollar making YouTube, and kid,
Speaker 2: how do we get our gardens gardened flecks and frooms?
Speaker 4: Do you like going braless?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very odd thing for maybe wearing a
Speaker 2: bra today, but alas we are at work, I am
Speaker 2: wearing mesh. Nips are not allowed to be revealed.
Speaker 3: Well, this is where it gets interesting because in New
Speaker 3: York it's legal to be topless since when nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 3: What yeah, you can go around topless in New York.
Speaker 3: There is no way the nipple hath been freed.
Speaker 2: And what are we find for?
Speaker 4: I know, wrap them down? Ladies?
Speaker 2: Do I need to fact check that you really know.
Speaker 4: I'm fully serious.
Speaker 3: The one thing that we don't need fact checks because
Speaker 3: I know it to be a act. And in Australia
Speaker 3: it's actually not illegal to not wear a top.
Speaker 2: It's just frowned upon.
Speaker 4: It's frowned upon.
Speaker 3: And basically, if people complain, you can be charged for
Speaker 3: being a public nuisance.
Speaker 2: I guess it's good with anything, like it's not legal
Speaker 2: to speak loudly, but if someone complains.
Speaker 4: Ah, it can be a public nuisance. Really.
Speaker 2: Of course, what's not illegal to play music in your house,
Speaker 2: but if someone complains you can be fined.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean then what happens though, if you're topless
Speaker 3: on Bondi beach and someone is like, stop it, your
Speaker 3: nips of scandalizing my eyes and my children's eyes.
Speaker 2: I guess you start doing that, like you know, according
Speaker 2: to legislation, this is legal, and then you get into
Speaker 2: that conversation.
Speaker 4: According to legislation, legislation. Okay, well that's my fun fact.
Speaker 2: That was a great one. I like that a lot.
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because let's say somebody is topless at
Speaker 2: the beach sunbathing, somebody's uncomfortable. Both those two things can
Speaker 2: exist and nothing shall happen, like this person should be
Speaker 2: allowed to sunbathe, this person should be allowed to be uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: and then that is it. Go about your day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: nothing needs to change.
Speaker 3: There doesn't have to be a moralizing moment.
Speaker 2: Or like any like further action. It can just be
Speaker 2: a thing. You can just be uncomfortable and mind your
Speaker 2: business and you can make people get uncomfortable and brown
Speaker 2: your breasts.
Speaker 4: Let the browns be breasted, and the breasts.
Speaker 1: Be brown, flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: What if I sold online that is potentially a little
Speaker 3: bit too close to home And what I realized the
Speaker 3: other day I was on deepop and I was selling
Speaker 3: all of my stuff during a spring clean and I
Speaker 3: tried to sell a pair of bathers. I'd worn it once,
Speaker 3: not even into the ocean. I wore it as a
Speaker 3: bodysuit and I put it up and then I thought, yeah,
Speaker 3: it did it touch koach? It was touching cooch and
Speaker 3: it was a bit small, so it was right. And
Speaker 3: then I realized what I was doing. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: can't sell my.
Speaker 2: Bathers, so you weren't gonna wash before sold?
Speaker 4: Like I don't know how to wash bathers. Whoa cal.
Speaker 2: Cool cool, cool, Nice.
Speaker 4: How do you watched baths?
Speaker 2: Did you take down a listing immediately or is it
Speaker 2: still lurking.
Speaker 3: You can do a thing called deepop, which is like
Speaker 3: sould so it looks like someone bought it.
Speaker 4: Okay, bump up that algorithm. Nice? Yeah, what have you
Speaker 4: tried to sell?
Speaker 2: I used to be a fiend for a little Facebook marketplace,
Speaker 2: little gum tree mom, but then I just met too
Speaker 2: many cookers. Like I was driving out to some real
Speaker 2: sauce places for like a really great vintage table that
Speaker 2: was going for thirty bucks. But I was finding myself
Speaker 2: in really precarious situations, like I bought this tiger table,
Speaker 2: like tiger based glass tabletop, real lovely, drove out to
Speaker 2: Woop Woop together to get it, and when I got there,
Speaker 2: they kept on trying to invite me inside, and I
Speaker 2: was like noah. They're like, come have a drink. What
Speaker 2: do you want to drink? And then so this was
Speaker 2: just one woman who came out to greet me, and
Speaker 2: then there was a man, and then it was another man,
Speaker 2: then there was another man, and I was like, I
Speaker 2: just need the table. Then they were like, do you
Speaker 2: want us to wrap up the table because you know,
Speaker 2: it's glass and it might break. And I was like, okay, cool.
Speaker 2: They gave me this bizarre stained weighted blanket like it
Speaker 2: was baby blue. There was brownched green stains. It smelt
Speaker 2: so sound, and I had agreed to it, so when
Speaker 2: she gave it, she put it in my arms, so
Speaker 2: all the scents were on me, and then I thought
Speaker 2: I would throw it out in their front bind but
Speaker 2: they were all standing at the window watching me.
Speaker 1: Load at the table to the book.
Speaker 2: As I couldn't do anything about it, I had to
Speaker 2: take it, and that, to me was lustraw, because the
Speaker 2: thing that got me about that situation is it wasn't
Speaker 2: uncanny enough for it to feel dane. It just rubbed
Speaker 2: me the wrong way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go away, it wasn't great. Leave me be with
Speaker 3: my tiger table.
Speaker 2: And I'm that silly person who has their real name
Speaker 2: as their Facebook name and I can't change it.
Speaker 4: I changed mine last week. Guess what I did?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Do you want to tell people?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh, worms for brains. I changed my my pin number.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I'm gonna spell it. Telly Tubby,
Speaker 3: Oh that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 4: I mean group chats, it's like Telly Tubby says, be
Speaker 4: there in five, that's great.
Speaker 1: This is flex and Frooms on Kada.
Speaker 4: Lil says that she's going to tell me something enormous.
Speaker 2: I want to ask something enormous. I told you that
Speaker 2: I watched everything everywhere, all at once. This a twenty
Speaker 2: four movie that I watched in the cinemas. Unfortunately, in
Speaker 2: standard there was no Vmax or gold Class, not in
Speaker 2: the rest.
Speaker 4: No, No, that's not it.
Speaker 2: No, and even then that's not a perk, that's taking
Speaker 2: away an amenity. But a core scene in the movie
Speaker 2: is existentialism, thinking about what we're doing here on the earth,
Speaker 2: what does it mean? Why does it matter? I think
Speaker 2: about it quite frequently, But what I don't do enough
Speaker 2: is ask others what they think about it. So, Lucinda
Speaker 2: Froom's Price, call me, baby, baby, what is the meaning
Speaker 2: of life? In your opinion?
Speaker 3: So prior to roughly two years ago, I thought about
Speaker 3: this often and I thought there is absolutely no meaning.
Speaker 3: One of those Yeah, a depression kind of vibe. Not
Speaker 3: gonna lie, got it.
Speaker 4: It's giving that.
Speaker 3: However, in the past two years I've decided to do
Speaker 3: something which you say is typical in Ghanian culture. Yep,
Speaker 3: big enjoyment, big enjoyment. And so that's what goes through
Speaker 3: my mind every day. Enjoyment, big enjoyment. And now the
Speaker 3: meaning of life has become love.
Speaker 2: Gosh, to love and be loved, that's all there is.
Speaker 4: That's beautiful. What's your opinion?
Speaker 2: I say, to love and be loved is the meaning
Speaker 2: of life? Premium mode, Like, not everybody gets to experience that,
Speaker 2: and sometimes your subscription just won't take you that far.
Speaker 2: We can't all be you know, Tier one, some need
Speaker 2: Tier two and Tier three, but the most universal, free tier.
Speaker 2: Are you ready here to enjoy leisure and pleasure? Anyone
Speaker 2: can do it if you really want to, if you
Speaker 2: really really want to leisure and pleasure, and if that
Speaker 2: is literally all you do, no milestone, some of that stuff,
Speaker 2: just leisure and pleasure.
Speaker 4: You've lived.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was writing a newsletter about this yesterday because
Speaker 3: I want to write a newsletter on it.
Speaker 4: Sign up at Firmswold.
Speaker 3: Substack and I wanted to write about this, but I
Speaker 3: can't get into words because I don't want it to
Speaker 3: sound like, oh like just do nothing. Because I've said
Speaker 3: that healthcare workers, for example, will read my newsletter, and
Speaker 3: here I am a delinquent, underemployed.
Speaker 4: Bushpig on.
Speaker 2: To your own adventure.
Speaker 3: But it's true in your spare everybody has some element
Speaker 3: of spare time or some element where you're allowed to
Speaker 3: make a decision. And I think the decisions should always
Speaker 3: be enjoyment. Don't go to gym if you don't enjoy it,
Speaker 3: go for a walk, walk to McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Like the age old quote, suffering is inevitable, pain is not.
Speaker 2: We're all going to experience suffering in some capacity. You're
Speaker 2: gonna fall out with your best friend. You're gonna get
Speaker 2: fired from a job you really like, you're gonna get ghosted.
Speaker 2: Pretty much. Inevitable pain is the emotional association you have
Speaker 2: with those things. You have those people who are kind
Speaker 2: of like, no bad stuff happens, and then I moved on.
Speaker 2: But others make bad stuff like the corner stone of
Speaker 2: their whole identity. It's hard to not do that. However,
Speaker 2: it's not to say you can't acknowledge that bad stuff happened.
Speaker 2: You just need to put an extra quota in, an
Speaker 2: extra fifty percent trying to make stuff feel good. It's
Speaker 2: like you need to stop looking for the party and
Speaker 2: be the party. Need to stop looking for hot people
Speaker 2: in a room and be the hot person. Yes, need
Speaker 2: to stop looking for someone who's gonna start the conversation
Speaker 2: and you start the conversation. That's it. That's the secret source.
Speaker 2: That is the major key.
Speaker 3: That is a major key. I completely relate to that.
Speaker 3: For a long time, I was always like, I only
Speaker 3: want to dress up and like use my night of drinking.
Speaker 3: If there's gonna be somewhere there that I potentially want to.
Speaker 2: Boots, yeah, oh that's the good one.
Speaker 4: Butts yep.
Speaker 3: But then I'm like, you come to me if you
Speaker 3: like what you see, and if you don't, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be vibing.
Speaker 2: So the meaning of life is to be hot at
Speaker 2: all times and at all costs. Literally, it's the first
Speaker 2: thing we've ever agreed on, I know, and it's a
Speaker 2: good one. So I think we might have just figured
Speaker 2: it out for everybody else.
