Speaker 1: I could have been the presidentes Okay, you.
Speaker 3: Could have been the president? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Justinda Arden, threal ones or no. Anyway, I
Speaker 2: want to think about names. I saw this recently done
Speaker 2: on a podcast with Will Gibb. They talked about baby names, sorry,
Speaker 2: names that are far up.
Speaker 1: For products and stuff that would be good as baby names.
Speaker 2: Okay, and it reminds you one of my favorite Instagram pages,

Speaker 2: and honk.
Speaker 3: Those last five lost me, but it started off strong Landlord.
Speaker 2: So I have come up with a few to share
Speaker 2: with you. FLEXI please get your thinking hats on and
Speaker 2: think if you've got any love mine and more down
Speaker 2: the fermi.
Speaker 1: Root, if I fermi root, if I'm real with.
Speaker 4: You, the words that we use we're gonna look back
Speaker 4: in five years and be like, what were we trying
Speaker 4: to say?
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: Ye now, but in five years time.
Speaker 1: See, I went through a bit of a yeat phase
Speaker 1: and I still get.
Speaker 3: That, and a sleigh phase. You went through.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, RP cappuccino.
Speaker 3: Oh stunning.
Speaker 2: That's gender neutral, yeah Martini, yeah again, gender neutral?
Speaker 1: Baby Bell, baby Belle.
Speaker 2: You know it's like there's no through a little phase
Speaker 2: last year celebrities calling their babies baby so stoppy? Yeah,
Speaker 2: hey baby, Oh my god? Anyway to each their own
Speaker 2: sniper for a boy?
Speaker 1: M hm poodle? Okay, the final one, Oh.
Speaker 4: Audi, lovely Off the doe. Where your allegiances lie? She
Speaker 4: said she was a Woolworth girl. She No, I don't
Speaker 4: have any, but this is really interesting. Do you think
Speaker 4: that you'll ever name your child something non traditional?
Speaker 1: No, I'm like to show too. It's like Listener's traditional
Speaker 1: with a twist.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It's giving Grandma vibes. But I like that. I like
Speaker 1: my name.
Speaker 4: People can't stop saying like, I can't tell if it's
Speaker 4: conversationally lazy like we were told it was when we
Speaker 4: were much younger, I remember being pulled up quite a
Speaker 4: lot in class or struggling to articulate myself and having
Speaker 4: my teacher call it out, but not just me, everybody
Speaker 4: in the class. I think it was just a byproduct
Speaker 4: of not thinking before you speak. You don't do that
Speaker 4: a lot when you're younger. You just kind of speak
Speaker 4: or think on the go. Alternatively, I feel like a
Speaker 4: lot of us.
Speaker 3: There it is.
Speaker 4: I feel as though, No, I don't feel as though.
Speaker 4: I know for me personally, a lot of my bad
Speaker 4: speaking habits come from not being listened to, so I
Speaker 4: feel like I had to rush myself get my point
Speaker 4: across really really quickly, the stress of like.
Speaker 3: Not being heard all of that.
Speaker 4: So I find the slower I speak, the more articulate
Speaker 4: I am, and the more I can use the correct
Speaker 4: words and not rely on filler words. However, there are
Speaker 4: two new words that have cropped up in myself, and
Speaker 4: I also observe it. People don't like that I'm a
Speaker 4: stickler for words, but words are pretty much the only
Speaker 4: tool that we have currently to ensure that we are understood.
Speaker 4: We kind of need to be doing words properly. Any
Speaker 4: thoughts on what the words are I've already read the breaks.
Speaker 3: I know now the two words actually and literally.
Speaker 5: Ooh.
Speaker 4: Now the thing with the word like is it is versatile.
Speaker 4: It can mean a ton of different things. It can
Speaker 4: be like this thing is similar to this thing. I
Speaker 4: enjoy this thing. It's a feeling. It can be it's
Speaker 4: versatile generally. Actually, though we just use out of context. Literally,
Speaker 4: we use out of context. I personally use the word
Speaker 4: literally like period, like.
Speaker 3: Full stop, like I hear you, like I'm listening to you. Yep,
Speaker 3: that's not what it means.
Speaker 4: Also, actually, I get this when people are trying to
Speaker 4: emphasize the meaning of something that was actually really good,
Speaker 4: that's not what you mean.
Speaker 3: Insult you know, I actually went there. I mean, I
Speaker 3: guess you did.
Speaker 4: But the point is, when people want to take away
Speaker 4: your power, they confuse you about what you mean. And
Speaker 4: one of the greatest protections, one of the great a
Speaker 4: shields you can give yourself is the clarity in knowing
Speaker 4: that you are understood when you speak, so people can't refuge,
Speaker 4: so people can't confuse you about your own reality. And
Speaker 4: when you rely on conversational crutches, when you get into
Speaker 4: the habit of using words that don't actually mean what
Speaker 4: you say. You yourself then become unreliable.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: It's a very slippery slope speaking.
Speaker 2: It's Flexi firms on Cata, and by Flexi firms, I
Speaker 2: mean Mickyanni, my queen.
Speaker 1: Hello, babe, how are ya?
Speaker 2: I'm all right, we're here through mcafe. We're catching up.
Speaker 2: Giving a pop culture kind of moment. Earlier in the week, Sophie,
Speaker 2: our social media producer, put up a poll asking you
Speaker 2: who your favored celeb couples are. Actually wasn't across this
Speaker 2: because I was on a digital hiatus, but Mickey's in
Speaker 2: a surprise me. We said celebrity couples as chosen by
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because last week we were talking about Victoria Beckham
Speaker 5: and David Beckham and I'm having a little swoon fest
Speaker 5: over them, So.
Speaker 1: Like, who else is just as good?
Speaker 5: So Cosmo went wonder he's had a reference.
Speaker 2: To get Rude last Arias, which was like this time
Speaker 2: last year, folks, you and I. I was wearing pink
Speaker 2: and she was wearing green, and everyone said that we
Speaker 2: look like because what is it?
Speaker 1: Fairly odd parents?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, fairly odd parents. There's a great theme song
Speaker 5: for that.
Speaker 1: One too. Where does it go? Our parents fairly.
Speaker 5: Don't Brad and Angelina guys, they broke up, Yeah, but
Speaker 5: they can still be iconic. Like didn't they wear vals
Speaker 5: of blood? No bad was doing the blood.
Speaker 1: That's really Angelina. I'm sorry this was way.
Speaker 5: After She's iconic on her own. Who else we got?
Speaker 5: We got Channing Tatum and Zoe Krabatts. Yeah, allegedly allegedly
Speaker 5: they're engaged. Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also good good ones, Anthony alban Easy and Toto.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: See more cross species couples retractive.
Speaker 1: As friends as friends, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, yeah, of course, of course we love animal people comments.
Speaker 1: I love Toja albanezey. I wonder what he's doing right now, sniffing,
Speaker 1: sniffing his butt.
Speaker 2: He's sitting on the end of Anthony Albanese's couch in Marrickville,
Speaker 2: and I reckon it's like one of those modular still understated,
Speaker 2: but a modular, probably ten year old couch.
Speaker 1: He's clopped off earlier with Toto.
Speaker 5: I went to throw on one of those beers with
Speaker 5: his face on back.
Speaker 1: That's Bob pork. No, he has a bit.
Speaker 5: Albo has a beer with his face.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry really yeah, to present that's in you after?
Speaker 1: Does he drink it?
Speaker 5: His friend actually made the beer.
Speaker 3: This is a whole side story.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Anyway, guys, this is a little mean moment between we
Speaker 2: catch up. Mccafee expertly crafted Brusa made your choice of
Speaker 2: iced cool coffee just why you like it? However, you
Speaker 2: take yours drive through for your favorite at the cafe.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Flexi's Big Question of
Speaker 5: the week.
Speaker 3: It is flex and frooms on Kita.
Speaker 4: Last week for Flexi's Big Question, I asked you what
Speaker 4: is the last thing you changed your mind on. The
Speaker 4: reason why I pose this question is I think it's
Speaker 4: important to acknowledge that every day we stray further from
Speaker 4: things we once held so dearly, and that is okay,
Speaker 4: And it's important to give other people the same grace.
Speaker 4: If we're going to hold people to standards of saying
Speaker 4: the same forever, we too must day the same forever.
Speaker 4: On Instagram story, you guys had some great responses. This
Speaker 4: One person says being late and feeling rushed. I've always
Speaker 4: found myself stressed and overwhelmed whenever'm running late. Now I'm
Speaker 4: starting to come indifferent about it from here on out.
Speaker 4: I'm taking my time with everything else.
Speaker 1: Just you just have to like, people need to expect
Speaker 1: that you're that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or I think it doesn't make sense to be
Speaker 4: stressed about it and they're not beyond time.
Speaker 3: Imagine rushing to be on time if you're going to
Speaker 3: be late.
Speaker 1: I'm stressed about being dumb, but I'm not doing anything
Speaker 1: to change it. If you're being completely honest.
Speaker 4: This person says, I used to think papas were disgusting,
Speaker 4: but now I think that they are the most superior fruit.
Speaker 4: This person says, I let go of resentment for being
Speaker 4: solo on top of my consumables in my lab. What
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think this person's a scientist, okay science.
Speaker 4: This person says, I don't have to have an opinion
Speaker 4: about every information that's been brought to my attention. I've
Speaker 4: changed my mind about religion and spirituality. I've changed my
Speaker 4: mind about being overly stingy, spending more now because the
Speaker 4: apocalypse is here, and enjoying the time we have left.
Speaker 4: I've changed my mind that F one drivers aren't real athletes.
Speaker 3: They are. I've changed my mind about olives A.
Speaker 2: Tropies also mentioned you change your mind recently. Now I've
Speaker 2: always liked them. Oh, but I know that's like a
Speaker 2: thing for people. I don't like oysters. I'm never going
Speaker 2: to change that. They're expensive, like the taste. Would you Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll have an oyster on a date to look a
Speaker 2: certain way.
Speaker 3: But OSes for optics.
Speaker 2: Some people will literally go and get oysters because they
Speaker 2: love them.
Speaker 4: Yeah what anyway, that's Flexi's big question. Thank you so
Speaker 4: much for playing.
Speaker 3: Love your work.
Speaker 1: It's Flexi and Frems on Ktera. Flexi. Do you think
Speaker 1: you're smarter than a twelfth grader?
Speaker 3: In some ways? Yes, in a lot of ways probably not.
Speaker 2: We have right here that HC Food Tech Exam for
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: I did this in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: Two. I was my lowest score in what was otherwise
Speaker 2: fantastic atar results did food tech. Yeah, I got about
Speaker 2: thirty two for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not my best way.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like a practical exam we had to
Speaker 3: cook something.
Speaker 2: No, it was like a written exam. They said you
Speaker 2: were for real a few weeks ago. Now, we did
Speaker 2: do the HC Maths test on air, which then the
Speaker 2: government the Victoria government came out and said that they
Speaker 2: actually had multiple mistakes in the exam.
Speaker 1: So am I the real genius of maths? It seems yes. Okay,
Speaker 1: here is the HC.
Speaker 2: Food Tech Exam Number one. An example of a community
Speaker 2: group that promotes health in Australian society is a csro

Speaker 1: New South was food authority.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm saying CRSIRO I had the Good Gut Food
Speaker 2: Health Book. Oh oh, I did trip me into a
Speaker 2: little bit of an issue with food CSIRO your hands.
Speaker 3: That's an important feedback for them to get. Was it
Speaker 3: was that correct?
Speaker 1: A bum, You're both wrong. It was c Meals on Wheels.
Speaker 5: You're joking A chuckle, guys, I've looked at the published
Speaker 5: HC results.
Speaker 2: Okay, they tripped me up, they said. Community group two,
Speaker 2: which of the following is the most significant benefit of
Speaker 2: using organic farming systems A less landfill, C cleaner waterways,
Speaker 2: reduced cost to the consumer, D reduce cost to the manufacturer.
Speaker 1: Well we can strike out san D.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say B because with the other ways of
Speaker 2: creating food, the soil goes into the waterways.
Speaker 1: One point to free me. It was B And what
Speaker 1: was the reasoning?
Speaker 5: Babe?
Speaker 3: It's yeah, they're not gonna It's the answers of a basic.
Speaker 2: Study food Tech number three of four questions. Food sold
Speaker 2: in retail stores in Australia must comply with the country
Speaker 2: of origin labeling laws that we're introduced in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: These labeling laws are most likely to benefit A local councils, B,
Speaker 2: import markets, C, primary producers or D people with allergies.
Speaker 3: This is what you did in food tech.
Speaker 4: When I dropped out of food tech, we were literally
Speaker 4: making Singapore noodles and scones and learning how to cut
Speaker 4: vegetables period and also things like which chopping ball to use.
Speaker 4: I don't recall they put different colors for different utensils.
Speaker 3: That was it. And wiping up after you cook, that
Speaker 3: was it.
Speaker 1: Be serious.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to go with oh with CEA primary
Speaker 2: producers because if we know they're from Australia, then it
Speaker 2: gives them props.
Speaker 1: Al right, see, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: for the final question for the wind from MINDI, which
Speaker 2: is an example of unethical food advertising A bundle pricing,
Speaker 2: be a celebrity endorsement done a couple of days in

Speaker 2: through cross promotion. That's obvious, isn't it. Yeah, you'd hope
Speaker 2: see it's see see what I find interesting?
Speaker 1: Unethical but not illegal.
Speaker 3: Something to think rowned upon.
Speaker 4: They say it's not ideal, but do it if it
Speaker 4: gets you what you need, which is the revenue. So
Speaker 4: what we actually need is someone to come and greater
Speaker 4: us and let me know if because I did well
Speaker 4: in math, if that gives me a higher ATAR than
Speaker 4: sud Tech is not gonna it's not gonna give you
