Speaker 1: Cut Flex and Frooms, getting near it.
Speaker 2: It's on the tip of my tongue though, cutting grass
Speaker 2: and a bit of.
Speaker 1: Flex and guys. Oh my god. Sorry, Ron. We have
Speaker 1: been on holidays, but we thought we'd give you a
Speaker 1: sweet little treat for the real ones.
Speaker 3: Here's a little mini party episode.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Flex and Frooms. I'm Kator.
Speaker 3: I got a message the other day about dreams. We
Speaker 3: have hacked main frame. Yes, the main frame hath been
Speaker 3: hacked with our listeners. People are having literal midnight dreams
Speaker 3: about us. They're entering rem.
Speaker 2: Astro projecting into ol.
Speaker 1: We're following them in.
Speaker 3: We're getting through the wateryhole. And this is from a
Speaker 3: woman called Rachel Tobin. She goes and marm I just
Speaker 3: add my DMS in our open everybody. I know there's
Speaker 3: been some issues replying stories. It was because of the refraf.
Speaker 3: Now I'm ready for the refraff. So just hit me
Speaker 3: up only if it's something good, like a compliment, or
Speaker 3: if you've got a brother to set me up with.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine were seeing that DM though, and you
Speaker 4: get some suggestions and that you're just not feeling.
Speaker 1: How do I like unread something exactly.
Speaker 2: You have to block a delete at that point, all right.
Speaker 3: She said three me, I had a dream last night
Speaker 3: that my car got stolen and you drove me around
Speaker 3: helping me to find it.
Speaker 2: It would never happen. She would never do that for you.
Speaker 1: She would never, she said. One of my one for
Speaker 1: the dream interpreter on the show. What does it mean?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately the dream interpreter that we had on a few
Speaker 1: isn't on speed Tile one and done. But I think
Speaker 1: that means that I'm a reliable person.
Speaker 3: And I think the story about me getting my car
Speaker 3: broken into and set on fire.
Speaker 2: Maybe that might have triggered something for you perhaps.
Speaker 3: And then I had another email from Sorry another day
Speaker 3: and by Purient, who is an Australian Melbourne based artist.
Speaker 3: She actually dates the guy from These New South Wales, Mossie.
Speaker 3: She writes, Babes, I just want to say I had
Speaker 3: a dream that you in Flex and I went on
Speaker 3: a boat trip and we were convicts on the run.
Speaker 4: Well, how do we go from boat trip's luxury?
Speaker 2: It's a convicts on the run.
Speaker 1: And this is why I.
Speaker 2: Said you where the company you keep? Because that would
Speaker 2: never be me.
Speaker 1: We're a piano cruise, subsisting on jelly only. What is happening? Okay?
Speaker 2: Then what happened?
Speaker 1: She said?
Speaker 3: It was an extremely fulfilling dream because I was laughing
Speaker 3: the whole time, even though we were fleeing the pobo
Speaker 3: must because I listened to your pot every day ritually,
Speaker 3: big fan, big love. So if we were convicts, what
Speaker 3: did we get incriminated for?
Speaker 4: I mean, I was definitely just like an accessory to
Speaker 4: a crime, Like I don't think I even meant to
Speaker 4: be there.
Speaker 3: You're the ringleader who gets everyone else to be the scapegoat.
Speaker 3: On the scapegoat, I say, we were stealing hot dog buns.
Speaker 2: Likely any other dreams.
Speaker 1: I'm always behaving very well in dreams, I find, yeah,
Speaker 1: playing the jokes to the tricks. So what about you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I liked the dreams people sent through I had.
Speaker 4: I used to have a highlight on my Instagram. Maybe
Speaker 4: I got rid of it.
Speaker 1: Would you want to know if something had a wet
Speaker 1: dream about you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it depends if I was keen, Oh here I
Speaker 4: found it. Dream cameos So I had a dream that
Speaker 4: you were getting married on this huge yacht sleigh me
Speaker 4: and boats something there and You're wearing this black suit
Speaker 4: with a diamond and crusted collar, and you were crying
Speaker 4: because the wedding wasn't perfect, so you just ran away.
Speaker 4: Same then somebody else said.
Speaker 2: I had a dream.
Speaker 4: I was telling you about my upcoming YouTube ideas and
Speaker 4: you're and you were like, nah, that's going to flop.
Speaker 3: Okay, I've got a social relationship dilemma.
Speaker 1: The title is my dating dilemma.
Speaker 3: I'm a guy who's below average and attractiveness but can't
Speaker 3: seem to feel fulfilled by or attracted to women in
Speaker 3: my leg Should I force myself to settle?
Speaker 1: No, sugly bab I like petite women with what's that?
Speaker 2: Calvin Harris son, I get all the girls I get.
Speaker 4: Oh, I like them king I like them, blonde head girls, yes,
Speaker 4: I like them, short haired girls.
Speaker 1: I like them, skinny girl girls. I like them caring
Speaker 1: a little bitty weight girls.
Speaker 2: He didn't say fat. He didn't say that on purpose.
Speaker 2: What a dog.
Speaker 1: Let's continue though, Okay, I love Calvin Harris.
Speaker 2: Is there more too?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, shout out Calvin. I guess you could tell
Speaker 3: from the question that I'm a total new when it
Speaker 3: comes to dating. I'm twenty seven and spent my life
Speaker 3: ignoring and intimidated by the dating aspect. Now I'm getting
Speaker 3: a bit comfortable with it, and I've had a couple
Speaker 3: of dates already, but I'm realizing I don't have much
Speaker 3: going for me.
Speaker 1: Oh, king, this is your issue, he.
Speaker 3: Goes, I'm not tall five foot eight and I'm not
Speaker 3: a smooth talker, but I do I have a fit
Speaker 3: build and good sense of style. Okay, so he's got
Speaker 3: some positive attributes that he sees in himself. Anyway, the
Speaker 3: question to more experienced guys and gals should I try
Speaker 3: shooting for someone i'm attracted to who's out of my
Speaker 3: leag or should I be happy with someone I'm only
Speaker 3: mildly attracted to physically but can enjoy my time around.
Speaker 2: Why are you gonna work like that?
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 3: Fall into the only once the ones he can't have category,
Speaker 3: and I don't want to be shallow either, But I
Speaker 3: can't control who I get attracted to. Anyone had similar
Speaker 3: thoughts or concerns.
Speaker 2: This is the real world that we're in. This is
Speaker 2: the real world.
Speaker 4: I will say everybody should date who they want, but unfortunately,
Speaker 4: for the way things work, you must date who you can.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget when you said that for the first
Speaker 1: shocked to mony core.
Speaker 4: Now in your position, King, I think that there's a
Speaker 4: lot of self observation and a lot a lot of
Speaker 4: self awareness. Wow, and those are two separate things. You
Speaker 4: being able to observe how you think you fit into
Speaker 4: the grand scheme is a good starting point. But I
Speaker 4: think you're laying the pieces in a way where they
Speaker 4: make sense to you. Oh, I can't get this girl
Speaker 4: because she must be too attractive, and this girl wants me.
Speaker 4: But if she wants me, maybe she's only like not
Speaker 4: as hot because I'm not that hot. It's all creating,
Speaker 4: like a really clear puzzle picture that soothes the ego.
Speaker 2: Not productive.
Speaker 4: We know a bunch of people who are not equally
Speaker 4: yoked in attraction, academics income who date well. So focus
Speaker 4: less on the perception of what it is for you
Speaker 4: to be dating and practice on becoming more eligible.
Speaker 2: You say yourself, you'ren't really giving much. You're a nube.
Speaker 2: Those are your words. I'm not being shady.
Speaker 4: So focus on being less of a nube and being
Speaker 4: more attractive to people you're trying to attract.
Speaker 1: What about the three four women. Where are they to go?
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is beauty is a either beholder.
Speaker 4: I'm always so fascinated when I pull up a hottie
Speaker 4: on my phone and my friends are repulsed. It happens
Speaker 4: more than you think. So I really think there's someone
Speaker 4: for everyone. I'm telling you, I'll pull up what I
Speaker 4: think is a ten out of ten and my friends
Speaker 4: are frowning, like not even trying to. I'm like, that
Speaker 4: is that's really what a good picture to disturb?
Speaker 2: It's scary.
Speaker 4: So I'm not worried about arbitrary rating systems. I feel
Speaker 4: like outside of the social norms of dating, you go
Speaker 4: one degree below.
Speaker 2: We get into the underbelly.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of amazing stuff happening that doesn't make
Speaker 4: sense to social norms. People you think are fugly, feral freaks.
Speaker 4: Dating ten out of ten's happily you wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 4: Be free, be freech above your way, or get rich
Speaker 4: two options speaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ask yourself, what would Elon do?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just feels like we have a story for
Speaker 4: every situation.
Speaker 3: We haven't even scratched the surface, and this one is demonic.
Speaker 3: I want to give everyone a extreme warning now at
Speaker 3: times we give content warnings, maybe once or twice.
Speaker 1: This one's really big.
Speaker 3: It's probably the biggest we've done in the six months
Speaker 3: that we've been on air. This is a story involving
Speaker 3: a nipple ring. If you are from Melbourne, more specifically
Speaker 3: the Eastern suburbs South easn suburbs, you may know this
Speaker 3: story that I'm about to say about a nipple ring.
Speaker 1: But for everyone else strapping.
Speaker 3: I was at a party on the weekend, okay, and
Speaker 3: a friend of mine tells me a story. We're talking
Speaker 3: about nipple rings. Essentially, my friend came out or in
Speaker 3: a sheer top.
Speaker 1: No brah. We go, oh my god, you should get
Speaker 1: a nipple ring with that top.
Speaker 3: And a girl says, hold on a second, I've got
Speaker 3: a story for you. Oh no, this is the worst
Speaker 3: thing I've ever been thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I don't everyone want to hear it. A friend of
Speaker 1: her friend she had taken her nipple ring out and.
Speaker 3: She looked down and she saw a little boob pue
Speaker 3: hanging out at her nipples. So she flatly shat her
Speaker 3: pants and then passed out.
Speaker 1: And when she came to, so it turns out it
Speaker 1: was an end. If you google, they look like little hairs.
Speaker 1: What that is? Oh my god? I love the heavy ge.
Speaker 4: No, I can't get them because my teographics going, no,
Speaker 4: they go out. My eyes twitching again, maybe the twitches
Speaker 4: from stress, because why is my eye twitching? No? That
Speaker 4: is I don't even want to ask more details. I'm
Speaker 4: really so do we know the girl?
Speaker 1: Can we?
Speaker 2: Can we reach out?
Speaker 3: So I put a sneepet on my story and a
Speaker 3: friend of mine who went to particular school in Melbourne said,
Speaker 3: isn't this a what's it called? When it's a lot
Speaker 3: old wives tale? Old wives ts? And then I saw
Speaker 3: messaged the friend who told me the story, and I said,
Speaker 3: my friend said, I screenshot it and he's like, oh
Speaker 3: I heard this story at this school, and Margo goes, yep,
Speaker 3: the girl went to that school. Oh so it actually
Speaker 3: happened to that school. That my elephant really Yeah, okay, she.
Speaker 1: Might be a bit scarred.
Speaker 3: But apparently if you touch a nerve ending because I
Speaker 3: started redditing it, the pain is so bad that you
Speaker 3: pass out and bombing yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. So yeah, that's my story. Glad I
Speaker 1: got a reaction kind notes herself.
Speaker 4: Don't get nipple piercings. I have not heard a good
Speaker 4: story about nipple pier sing never. I took to who
Speaker 4: has one, who's like they never really heal, always kind
Speaker 4: of crusty.
Speaker 1: What happens? Only have a baby. The milk's squirting everywhere. Well,
Speaker 1: the milk's not like a sprinkler. Okay, okay, what do you.
Speaker 4: Mean the milk's coming out with three coming Yes, but
Speaker 4: I would assume that I guess it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is coming out of three holes.
Speaker 1: Actually, no one teaches you this in nipple rings. They don't.
Speaker 1: They don't. You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kita.
Speaker 2: We have gossip, I light, it's not often that we
Speaker 2: have gossip.
Speaker 3: Honestly, Flex that I've been going out every weekend together. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's been at least two weekends in a row.
Speaker 1: It's not four.
Speaker 2: I would say.
Speaker 4: From the day I saw you, from the night I
Speaker 4: saw you at the Wrangler party that was the start
Speaker 4: of October, I've been getting.
Speaker 2: Near it every week since.
Speaker 3: We have to varying degrees of success, I'd say, but
Speaker 3: attempting to get near it is like seventy percent of
Speaker 3: the battle.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the real challenge.
Speaker 1: So we had the.
Speaker 3: Arias a couple of weeks back. It was a very
Speaker 3: exciting situation for me. It was one of my first
Speaker 3: live crosses on TV that I was doing, which is
Speaker 3: a unique challenge. I will say, I think when you're
Speaker 3: watching someone on TV it looks easy. When you're in
Speaker 3: the moment, it's a brain challenge. The brain is computing
Speaker 3: at a speed that is both exciting 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 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.
Speaker 2: It's just a lot.
Speaker 1: It's so much.
Speaker 3: And of course because this is a live event that's
Speaker 3: on a red carpet and then in another zone, no teleprompter.
Speaker 2: Oh, there wasn't a little Telly No oh off the domio.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is a domeio Grin situation, bloodshed and carnage
Speaker 3: on the red carpet. So I'm going to give you
Speaker 3: a play by player which actually happens backstage, backstage, like
Speaker 3: the whole my whole experience with that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the KFC fans red red rooster.
Speaker 3: Oh so sorry, sorry, yeah, please continue all chicken base
Speaker 3: for suits. Who is ending? It was getting to the
Speaker 3: end of the night, okay, and it was time. We
Speaker 3: were kind of doing this thing where we were back
Speaker 3: announcing people that are just ones who've got little que cards.
Speaker 3: But I don't like reading off a que card when
Speaker 3: I'm on camera because it looks a bit rookie. So
Speaker 3: in the EPA, someone's like, okay, you're going to announce
Speaker 3: who just performed. Then you're going to go through three winners.
Speaker 3: But often the times would change. They're like, you got
Speaker 3: to do this in thirty seconds, You've got to fill
Speaker 3: two minutes. You know, it's like very much on the go.
Speaker 3: It's first time working with Christian. He was fantastic. I
Speaker 3: loved it. He brought a really punished, polished energy. I
Speaker 3: brought a bit more of a chaotic energy. But that's
Speaker 3: what people want, That's what I want to watch. Anyway,
Speaker 3: Then about we've probably got like three more segments to do,
Speaker 3: so I probably got an hour and a half to go.
Speaker 3: Christian and I singing down and he goes, we're getting
Speaker 3: ripped online, and I said, what I said, what's going.
Speaker 4: On at that timing to let you know as well,
Speaker 4: we're getting roots online in a good way love it
Speaker 4: or so.
Speaker 3: This was the first time that I realized i'd said
Speaker 3: I said, I had said something on air that I
Speaker 3: was not meant to say.
Speaker 4: Because up to that point, you like that we're just
Speaker 4: racing through it. We're killing it, we're killing it. We
Speaker 4: didn't have FLEXI to be like, what was that? Wait
Speaker 4: one more time they set you up? They set you up.
Speaker 3: No, So what I did was I was back announcing
Speaker 3: the Chats had just won an award for their album
Speaker 3: Get Fucked Yeah, which we're allowed to say on air.
Speaker 3: In my day's haze and excitement, I accidentally said the
Speaker 3: chat's just one for fuck you, which is abuse life
Speaker 3: on broadcast and like you said it with a huge grin,
Speaker 3: you know what, Like it's.
Speaker 1: Actually quite strange for things to be this live.
Speaker 3: Often with live there's like a one hour delay, yeah,
Speaker 3: whereas is live on the TV, like even like Live
Speaker 3: ish where it's like being cut up. And then this
Speaker 3: was fully live ten seconds to live. So of course
Speaker 3: I said the F word you're not meant to say
Speaker 3: on broadcast.
Speaker 1: I know, an m raated thing. I say fuck you.
Speaker 2: And you get penalties. I'm pretty sure not you.
Speaker 3: But yes, well I don't think they will in this
Speaker 3: timeslot because it was after eight, it was eight fifteen pm.
Speaker 1: But like, no one ticks.
Speaker 3: Me off for anything, so I thought it was fine.
Speaker 3: And the EP John Lay is a fucking legend. He's
Speaker 3: the Irish guy that got me through the door last year.
Speaker 3: Then Christians like getting ripped. I look up the article.
Speaker 3: They've picked the most savage picture of US two. I'm
Speaker 3: like screamed, like not screaming, but I look like a
Speaker 3: banshee and it's like the worst defenders were backstage. Wait
Speaker 3: to be honest. Headline they've picked the hottest picture of Like,
Speaker 3: we look good in that picture. I like that picture
Speaker 3: of the release. What's the headline?
Speaker 1: The headline was.
Speaker 3: Just like savaging the arias full stop the whole broadcast, right,
Speaker 3: But here we go. The worst defenders were backstage host
Speaker 3: Christian Wilkins and Lucinda fromes the Let's just cut it there.
Speaker 3: My name's Lucinda, Frome's Price, It's Licinder Price, It's frooms Okay, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Let's you've got that wrong.
Speaker 3: You're not the only one who appeared frequently throughout the
Speaker 3: night but seem to have no idea what was going on?
Speaker 1: Love that then it said that it goes straight into
Speaker 1: a quote from me, not a quote.
Speaker 3: The Best Hard Rock award went to The Chats for
Speaker 3: Fuck You Friends announced letting an uncensored F bomb slip
Speaker 3: on Channelmind at around eight fifteen pm. Then in brackets
Speaker 3: in fact, the Chats album is get Fucked. So I
Speaker 3: mean he's not wrong.
Speaker 4: There are few things here is a lie is not one.
Speaker 1: FLEXI.
Speaker 3: As you know, I have an interesting tech not so
Speaker 3: much to take it step off, But how do I
Speaker 3: say the social ramifications of being a tech bo or
Speaker 3: tech bo jason to me? There's a lot of talk
Speaker 3: about Silicon Valley and whatnot.
Speaker 1: You know what, Mark.
Speaker 3: Zuckerberg, if you listen to this, this is one for
Speaker 3: you and your hosts. Someone sends me a message, right
Speaker 3: because on the podcast a few weeks ago, I said,
Speaker 3: what even are all these tech jobs? What are all
Speaker 3: your titles? What's an account manager? What's a product manager? Yeah,
Speaker 3: what's a consultant?
Speaker 2: Tech slander?
Speaker 3: What's the Loyd guys? I still haven't gotten a conclusive
Speaker 3: answer at this point.
Speaker 2: Put me a hand up. Mikhael knows.
Speaker 3: Upon hearing this, somebody has DMed me to give me
Speaker 3: a thorough understanding of what every job is in the
Speaker 3: tech world.
Speaker 1: Are you ready, flex mummy?
Speaker 2: I'm ready.
Speaker 1: Number one consulting.
Speaker 3: You make powerpoints and also you will get late night
Speaker 3: emails from the partner of the firm asking plus fix
Speaker 3: p l Z fix No like punctuation.
Speaker 4: I kind of like that, though, because what slows me
Speaker 4: down from doing emails is email formatting.
Speaker 2: Hey, whoever, hope you're well. I was just.
Speaker 4: Thinking so and so and so I prefer please fix.
Speaker 4: That's the big dog in me.
Speaker 1: Account manager. You are the client's punching bag. End scene.
Speaker 1: Product manager.
Speaker 3: The customer tells me what's wrong with the product, and
Speaker 3: I tell other people how to fix the product.
Speaker 2: That's cool, bit of you. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: She goes on.
Speaker 3: If someone tells you that they work in tech. You
Speaker 3: could just say that's really vague, like a business, and
Speaker 3: instead ask them what's your elevated pitch? Loll This chick
Speaker 3: is choosing violence. Finally, if someone says they work in tech,
Speaker 3: she reckons it. It means that they don't earn a
Speaker 3: lot of money but genuinely believe they'll be rich one day.
Speaker 3: So it's not for your like I want to be
Speaker 3: rich in two years type of person. This is a
Speaker 3: long haul game.
Speaker 4: This is feeling really pointed and brutal. Well, I didn't
Speaker 4: know was that deep. Do you think people say they
Speaker 4: work in tech because you gen pop normies don't understand
Speaker 4: the details of what's happening behind closed doors.
Speaker 2: It's almost like.
Speaker 4: When you ask your friend what they do for work
Speaker 4: and they regret it instantly because you don't really want
Speaker 4: to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, do you really want to?
Speaker 4: I'm a product manager for customer services of AI products.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm explaining. Finally, and this one's a kicker listening.
Speaker 1: If someone says they work.
Speaker 3: For a startup, ask them what VC funding they have
Speaker 3: received so far and what their burn rate is, And
Speaker 3: no matter what they say, say.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, are you a bit worried about it going under?
Speaker 3: Are that so? The next on a dating app with
Speaker 3: works in Tech account manager at Tech, I'm coming for you, brother.
Speaker 1: It's not looking good. You've been listening to the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms Daily podcast.
