Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex and Frooms catch
Speaker 2: Up podcast. Welcome to our beautiful, little tiny world. It's
Speaker 2: Flex and Frooms. Yesterday we talked about Fredick and propaganda,
Speaker 2: which I actually don't think is propaganda. I don't think
Speaker 2: he's an industry plan. No.
Speaker 1: I just said that because people don't know what it means.
Speaker 1: It's funny. What I will say is I want to
Speaker 1: hear people. I just keep can't get over the fact
Speaker 1: that Frumi and I are sharing brains, not even that.
Speaker 1: It's just this really witchy thing that keeps happening, where
Speaker 1: at one point in time, every second thing that came
Speaker 1: out of your mouth, I was like, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what you mean by that, And now you don't say
Speaker 1: words and I can yell out the thing you're thinking.
Speaker 1: Do you not see that transition me personally?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's spent. It's called spending a lot of
Speaker 2: time together love. It's for better or for worse.
Speaker 1: It's incredible.
Speaker 2: Now you know what I think. At the start, people
Speaker 2: won't show for friends, dogs and honestly, I have weeks.
Speaker 2: I'm being perfectly honest. I feel like we had a
Speaker 2: really good live show we just writing on the coatails
Speaker 2: of that riding on the coattails of our own. We
Speaker 2: have multiple personalities. Who whatever, I'm so over this. You
Speaker 2: got your teddy Bear shoes on? They look this is
Speaker 2: like violence against teddy Bears. These shoes looks like you've
Speaker 2: skinned a teddy bear, ripped its innards out.

Speaker 1: that's frooms you're thinking of.
Speaker 2: But twenty percent of my whole followers are from Melbourne.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. But you know, the funny thing is,
Speaker 1: I don't think people look at me and think I
Speaker 1: have a Melbourne vibe. It's not that like I think aesthetically,
Speaker 1: they're not seeing Melbourne, but they're just not seeing Sydney either.

Speaker 1: telling you I don't know what happened in my childhood.
Speaker 2: I gotta go.
Speaker 1: Bye, Keita. Flex and Frooms. Flex and Frooms a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, the New York mag released an article.
Speaker 1: It went viral and it made a few people mad,
Speaker 1: myself included I'm kidding, I don't feel Yeah you do, babe.
Speaker 2: What's the rising sign.
Speaker 1: Of yours Pisces? She feels everything all at once, everywhere? Yes, yes, anyway,
Speaker 1: so the article's amazing. They've written a list of one
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four updated rules for life.
Speaker 3: Frew.
Speaker 1: Me and I have strong opinions, and I feel like
Speaker 1: we're going to disagree or agree with a lot of them.
Speaker 1: But for the next couple of days, all weeks, we're
Speaker 1: going to go through a couple of them. Rule number nine.
Speaker 1: If someone starts telling you a story you've heard before,
Speaker 1: you have two seconds to tell them you interject with,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that was hilarious, oh truly horrific or
Speaker 1: unbelievable you've told me before. But if you don't say
Speaker 1: it within me a lot of time, you just have
Speaker 1: to listen to them tell the story again. And if
Speaker 1: you're in a larger group, you have to listen period,
Speaker 1: Agree or disagree.
Speaker 2: Agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hard, so hard, Because when someone's telling you a
Speaker 1: story and you know you've got it before, there's that
Speaker 1: is that. I feel it in my eyes where my
Speaker 1: blinking slows down because I know I've heard this before
Speaker 1: and if you don't get it quick, it's too late.
Speaker 1: You catch them two minutes in where they've done like
Speaker 1: the building the foundation, using the characters.
Speaker 4: It's rude.
Speaker 1: And now I'm here like nodding, eyes glazed over because
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to listen.
Speaker 2: To this again. You know that happened with us Like
Speaker 2: a few weeks on the Specsavers, I was telling you
Speaker 2: about my relationship history about someone that I dated.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay, yeah, and I.
Speaker 2: Swear afterwards I walked away and like, oh, there's no way, Like,
Speaker 2: given that was such a pivotal moment in my life,
Speaker 2: there's no way I haven't spoken about this at least
Speaker 2: three times we were.
Speaker 1: In a group. What was I meant to do? Like
Speaker 1: we're actually in a group recording telling stories for money,
Speaker 1: and like, now I've heard this one?
Speaker 2: Can it?
Speaker 1: I heard it? I heard this one before? That one,
Speaker 1: I feel is a really really good one. Because another
Speaker 1: thing that I struggle with sometimes is group dynamics. I
Speaker 1: like a one on one, a one on two maybe
Speaker 1: or two on two splitting into separate conversations because what
Speaker 1: happened in a group dynamic is I get this urged
Speaker 1: to overperform, and I don't want to do that. I'm
Speaker 1: too tired. I just want to listen. Or I've been
Speaker 1: burnt too many times where you know how like you're
Speaker 1: the friend who's doing interesting stuff, or like you know,
Speaker 1: you've had too many one too many dating stories, and
Speaker 1: so now your life becomes the brunt of the conversation.
Speaker 1: So I find that I take this like secret role
Speaker 1: in group conversations where I want to just observe. But
Speaker 1: then the latter happens where I'm just like, I don't
Speaker 1: have a role anymore, and then you start to observe
Speaker 1: other people, like she's always cutting that person off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's never listening. Oh, he's always telling a story. I
Speaker 1: don't want any pick either. It's stri deep. But this
Speaker 1: is a good rule. Yeah, rule number nine. Pay attention
Speaker 1: to this one.
Speaker 2: I like rule number one approved a prod flex and frooms.
Speaker 1: It's been a little while since TikTok has as we say, slad,
Speaker 1: it's been a bit dried up. The content's been repetitive,
Speaker 1: lacking substance, and depth, just not giving. But I came
Speaker 1: across a video that sparked excitement within me, and I thought,
Speaker 1: this is one worthy of sharing.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, When I say, I am about to put
Speaker 4: you on to the best thing to ask someone in
Speaker 4: the talking stage, here you go. Okay, So this list
Speaker 4: I will ask people like, hey, what's the order you
Speaker 4: will give these up from easiest to hardest, and it
Speaker 4: will tell you so much about them, and like you
Speaker 4: can do it really casually, like you can be like
Speaker 4: my friend and I just came out booth this listen,
Speaker 4: We just like wanted to hear your take on, like
Speaker 4: what do you think would be the easiest for you
Speaker 4: and the hardest to give up? When I say, it
Speaker 4: will save you so much time if you and someone
Speaker 4: are not combatible, like, it will save you so much time.
Speaker 1: Now they say this list is for the talking stage.
Speaker 1: Enough of that, use it for anything, employers, employees, Can.
Speaker 2: We abolish talking stage?
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 1: Guys, I'll talk about it in a second. Shuttle out
Speaker 1: to say it anyway, So the list caffeine, exercise, alcohol,
Speaker 1: sex one out. What was the appropriate way to stay?
Speaker 2: I said, or did you?
Speaker 1: They said, masturbating I said, let me ask.
Speaker 2: This rubbing one out on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Alcohol, miscellaneous dogs, red meat, et cetera. Okay, Now, the
Speaker 1: theory is you ask someone which would you give these
Speaker 1: up for for a month in the list of easiest
Speaker 1: to hardest, and that'll tell you a lot about a person.
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced because if I can give up red
Speaker 1: meat for a month, you can give it red meat
Speaker 1: for a day. Are we not going to fall in love?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 2: Can I just okay? I'm seeing this list and to me, like,
Speaker 2: in order to have to like, the idea that I
Speaker 2: have to give them up makes it sound like their vices.
Speaker 2: Do you not think, well, you don't have to like
Speaker 2: these are things that are really kidding for obviously a
Speaker 2: lot of people. That's why they were chosen.
Speaker 1: No, I think it's because people make what they consume
Speaker 1: a character trait.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So I feel like, if, for example, if I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I could easily give up coffee for a month because
Speaker 1: I don't drink coffee, I think they're trying to imply
Speaker 1: that that says a lot about me as a person.
Speaker 1: Whereas you're a multiple bean day, multiple bean juice a
Speaker 1: day drinker and that's a lot about you a person.
Speaker 1: Therefore we must not be compatible.
Speaker 2: All about the bean, I will say, though, big bean energy?
Speaker 1: Correct? Correct?
Speaker 2: Do you like bean.
Speaker 1: Flicking the beer?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, that's what I was getting, a big
Speaker 1: bean energy. I will say, though, Like to be fair,
Speaker 1: I don't like the phrase talking stage. But when you don't.
Speaker 2: Beanstage, hey, okay, sorry, I'll be serious. I'm being c
Speaker 2: I hate myself, but what I will.
Speaker 1: Say is, shut up. When you don't know anything about
Speaker 1: it person, you're an animal. Sorry. We don't know anything
Speaker 1: about a person, you gotta rule them out quickly. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's something light to It's something light to
Speaker 1: play with, I will say though. At our live show recording,
Speaker 1: I ran into this person who will not be named,
Speaker 1: and funny not to name them. Can someone talk to
Speaker 1: her please?
Speaker 2: Their name was mister Bean.
Speaker 1: Oh you do have a mister bean vibe? Aesthetically, are
Speaker 1: you done? My dad kind of looks like mister bean
Speaker 1: with a pop belly in like a gruff way.
Speaker 2: Ye. Anyway, continue Charlie.
Speaker 1: At our life shore recording, somebody said to me that
Speaker 1: people don't tune anymore like it's a talking stage, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so they're both as ridiculous as one another.
Speaker 1: But tuning is way more accurate than a talking stage. Literally,
Speaker 1: tuning what intentional, walking stage like I mean and to everyone,
Speaker 1: tuning is like intention on both parts. It's not anything yet,
Speaker 1: but you've clocked something. I think you're cute, you think
Speaker 1: I'm cute. Now we're just adjusting the dial, seeing what sticks,
Speaker 1: seeing what fits. A talking stage is just labor hard yaker.
Speaker 5: Literally, if there's one thing you're on the job site,
Speaker 5: day in, day out, you don't get any rest, cigarette break,
Speaker 5: Think again, think again.
Speaker 2: I agree, the talking stage needs to go away. Tuning,
Speaker 2: as you say, intentional from both parties, and it's just
Speaker 2: got a holy weldy flavor. The tune tuning a radio
Speaker 2: screw tuning the bean, the.
Speaker 1: Fact that your eyes did that?
Speaker 2: Think or you like? No, I don't. It's scariest.
Speaker 1: It's like squinting with your eyes open.
Speaker 2: Try again.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, everyone in the room is silent. Sorry anyway,
Speaker 2: we didn't get to the point. But if you want
Speaker 2: to go look at that tea talk.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: The point is I don't think the list is going
Speaker 1: to help you do anything, but I do think it's
Speaker 1: a fun gag because I said before I told you caffeine, exercised, alcohol, sex, music, Instagram, weed, whatever.
Speaker 2: Beans.
Speaker 1: Beans exactly Like. I think it's interesting on a surface
Speaker 1: level to be like, oh damn, like you really couldn't
Speaker 1: give that up. That's that serious to you. But if
Speaker 1: you're in a talking stage, is doomed. Nobody talks. We tune,
Speaker 1: we caught, we caught, We tune, we date, and what
Speaker 1: else do we do?
Speaker 2: Flick bean?
Speaker 1: We flick bean.
Speaker 2: This is flex and frooms on CADA. I was talking
Speaker 2: about the other day, the intrusive thought I have that
Speaker 2: my family and a family that owned milbar around the
Speaker 2: corner from my house, we're having a dance off to
Speaker 2: Backstreet Boys. Okay, I've been seeing this for about twenty years.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Does it bear any kind of psychological distress?
Speaker 1: No, it's yet to be discovered.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's underlying. Anyway. I was talking about this on
Speaker 2: the show and I actually got a lot of d
Speaker 2: M replies and this is the one that caught my eye.
Speaker 2: Let's have a look.
Speaker 3: Hello, it's me again. I've just been listening to your
Speaker 3: how much do you spend to maintain a podcast? That
Speaker 3: came out today, and I've paused it so that I
Speaker 3: can pull my thoughts together. I think what you are
Speaker 3: experiencing to me kind of doesn't just sound like intrusive thoughts,
Speaker 3: but also makes me think of like a bit of
Speaker 3: a di association. But there's actually this syndrome called I
Speaker 3: think it's colloquially known as Alice in Wonderland syndrome. You
Speaker 3: should google it it. I think it'll be very interesting.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of what you're talking about with the
Speaker 3: techtonic perlates. But I've experienced it before when I've had
Speaker 3: a distinct like of sleep and I'm driving and I
Speaker 3: just kind of zone out, but then my body feels
Speaker 3: like it's kind of sounds crazy but like expanding, shifting,
Speaker 3: moving out of place, not where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3: And I don't have a background of any sort of
Speaker 3: like schizophrena or anything.
Speaker 2: Like that, Alice in Wonderland syndrome. This is exactly what
Speaker 2: I meant FLEXI. I mean, I think this is actually
Speaker 2: from a previous episode where I was saying sometimes I'd
Speaker 2: be watching TV or reading a book and suddenly like
Speaker 2: my tongue feels really big, or like my eyes feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: And it's not because my eyes are square because I've
Speaker 2: been concentrating for too long. It's just this general malaise
Speaker 2: like washes over my body is like, oh, like I
Speaker 2: just want to scream, like I'm not in my body correctly.
Speaker 2: And it's Alice in wonder and syndrome. It's a rare
Speaker 2: condition that disrupts your brain's ability to process sensory input,
Speaker 2: and the disruption effects how you perceive the size of
Speaker 2: things and the things you see around you, the feel
Speaker 2: or look of your own body or both, and it
Speaker 2: can distort your sense of reality. It's also a symptom
Speaker 2: of migraines, as I've spoken about on the show previous
Speaker 2: migraine Girly and we get the one that your body
Speaker 2: half your body you don't have control of, like almost
Speaker 2: a bit Strokeesque. But on one of the parts of
Speaker 2: that was seeing auras and things being like too far away,
Speaker 2: too close together. And it's not like that because it
Speaker 2: doesn't make me sick, and it's not like a harbor
Speaker 2: harboringer is the other word red herring whatever of like
Speaker 2: things to come. Yes, sometimes it almost feels like if
Speaker 2: you're someone who gets migraines and gets the aura when
Speaker 2: everything starts being a bit off and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I know what's coming?
Speaker 3: Whoa this is?
Speaker 2: You know, Babes. I actually, I actually every time I
Speaker 2: talk about migraines, my mouth starts watering like a dog
Speaker 2: because it's so disgusting. So what happens. Sometimes you need
Speaker 2: a migraine FLEXI.
Speaker 1: Never had a migraine.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I'm glad you say that.
Speaker 1: I thought I was like, I don't know migraines took
Speaker 1: people out, Babes. When you said the other day or
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago you had to sit in
Speaker 1: the dark because you had one couple, I was like,
Speaker 1: in the dark.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, let me just let me just tell you.
Speaker 2: It started when I was a little kid and I
Speaker 2: ushould not have words to say what was happening. As
Speaker 2: you know, then it would just it would happen like
Speaker 2: every month. I swear. It's like before I started getting
Speaker 2: my period, when when you're like growing and suddenly it
Speaker 2: would come over me in class and it would just
Speaker 2: be like it goes on for half an hour. The
Speaker 2: aura were like things I'm trying to read and the
Speaker 2: next word is invisible because every time you move your eye,
Speaker 2: the little blind bit of your eye move, so you
Speaker 2: can't focus on anything. You can't actually read words, and
Speaker 2: then it's everything starts jumbling up, so you try to talk,
Speaker 2: but the wrong words come out. My tongue would go
Speaker 2: numb and half my body would go numb.
Speaker 1: And when this was happening to you, what did you
Speaker 1: think was happening? And what did you explain to people?
Speaker 1: Because you wouldn't have been this articulate as a kid.
Speaker 2: No. I started to understand when I was seven, because
Speaker 2: it's like a symptom of it, Like people get this
Speaker 2: with migraines. Could an aura and then yeah, the aura
Speaker 2: is you see ziggity zags in your eyes and then
Speaker 2: eventually boom, like the pain starts coming to your head
Speaker 2: and it's like, in the moment, I wanted to die,
Speaker 2: No way, it's that bad. It's you cry from it,
Speaker 2: You scream, you vomit, and once you start a few
Speaker 2: cycles of vomiting, a few cycles cycles vomiting out, and
Speaker 2: then by the last vomit, you're so exhausted that you
Speaker 2: just go to sleep, and you sleep, you feel like
Speaker 2: so dehydrated. The whole thing. You're just spent and then
Speaker 2: the next day is a hangover, like going to school
Speaker 2: with the hangover. Anyway, I don't get migraines at all anymore.
Speaker 2: I haven't since I was twenty one, and so I
Speaker 2: want to say, if you are, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I was gonna say, I'm going on here,
Speaker 1: A diagnosis is coming.
Speaker 2: Nothing helps. You can try the desolvable abs aspirin, but
Speaker 2: I would love someone to understand what migrain's happening. Are
Speaker 2: brookhed them too, don't you love the worst? I actually
Speaker 2: lose vision in my eyes when I get them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's the same thing, Yeah, because.
Speaker 1: It's right behind my eye.
Speaker 2: So I completely lose vision in one I literally go
Speaker 2: blind terrible. I'm sick and I'm sicken. And the Paul,
Speaker 2: we're talking about this. We need to go bring the
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring the vibe up good, bring the vibe up.
Speaker 1: Flex and frooms they're the best.
Speaker 2: What did a few weeks ago we made history by
Speaker 2: recording a radio show on the Island. The Island is
Speaker 2: a luxury barge in Sydney Harbor looking over the gorgeous
Speaker 2: skyline of Sydney, the sixiest city in Australia and it
Speaker 2: was a beautiful day and we made a lot of
Speaker 2: new friends. Personally, I did. I was probably gallivanting around
Speaker 2: the boat drink in hand, and I met two women
Speaker 2: called Teagan and Holly, two chicks that were at the
Speaker 2: second recording. Not why they were there. I don't think
Speaker 2: they're in the influencer space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's right, yeah, yeah, that's why there's two
Speaker 1: of us.
Speaker 2: Where did these girls come from? But no, they were
Speaker 2: giving very VP energy. I was thinking may be working
Speaker 2: in the They were giving influencer space in a good way,
Speaker 2: well dressed, well dressed and personal. Little did I know
Speaker 2: it was the winner, Tagan, so remember again and we
Speaker 2: were like Tea and then her name is actually Tagan.
Speaker 1: That's very confusing. I know it's spelled t e g
Speaker 1: a n e n t e g e n.
Speaker 2: I think her instagram's tegy goo, like yeah, Tegan, Tegy.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Tegan and I made fast friends as well as Holly
Speaker 2: at the event. And I was obviously tall looking at
Speaker 2: the event about how I've surf now, and they're like,
Speaker 2: we surf as well, we should all go surfing together.
Speaker 2: What I do two days later with them surf with them. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I went to the beach with Tagan, Holly and Lottie
Speaker 2: d l who is another friend of the show. She
Speaker 2: created Banish. She's the Young Australian of the Year for
Speaker 2: New South Wales. We all formed a little girl group,
Speaker 2: huge met and went out on the waves. Altogether, it
Speaker 2: was a perfect day that sounds really love. So I
Speaker 2: just want to say, get involved. If you want to
Speaker 2: be friends with us, no promises.
Speaker 1: I can't promise you.
Speaker 2: And also that's a bit tickets, isn't it saying if
Speaker 2: you want to be friends with us.
Speaker 1: I am always down for acquaintances, but a friend thing.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be my friend? It's hard work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's perkson to literally anyway, Tagan Holly VIP winners.
Speaker 4: How did they?
Speaker 2: What was their story?
