Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it. I was on an
Speaker 1: escalator on the weekend.
Speaker 4: Relatable. What do you prefer going up or down?
Speaker 1: Going up? No way? Going down is terrifying, really quite
Speaker 1: going down.
Speaker 2: I prefer going down to going up. Yeah, why, I
Speaker 2: just like the sensation better, really yeah, like a slide.
Speaker 2: And do you know what I don't like the Well,
Speaker 2: not that I don't like them, but I've moved to
Speaker 2: a new suburb with different kinds of escalators, the flat ones,
Speaker 2: not the step one travelator travelators, and those are not fun.
Speaker 2: Going up because you've got to really activate your core.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, well I pose it on Instagram. Has anybody
Speaker 3: ever fallen down an escalator? Because every time I'm on
Speaker 3: an escalator.
Speaker 1: I'm wigging out. I'm like, I'm gonna fall down. I
Speaker 1: have a fear. Yeah, fear. They're tricky. They're really tricky.
Speaker 2: No no one teaches you. You just have to raw dog
Speaker 2: it straight away. When I was in primary school, very spoiled.
Speaker 2: But my mom didn't really spoil me. My dad did
Speaker 2: divorce parents vibe and so he would always give me
Speaker 2: phones and money. I had a phone really young, but
Speaker 2: I would always lose the phone because I had no
Speaker 2: concept of.
Speaker 1: The value of it. I'll just leave it places whatever.
Speaker 2: So I lost my phone and my mom said, Okay,
Speaker 2: I can get you a new one, but like this
Speaker 2: is it. I was like, yeah, okay, And I really
Speaker 2: wanted the three flip phone, you know the ones, the
Speaker 2: orange ones, all the cutest, all the Hottiesadam.
Speaker 1: I wanted it.
Speaker 2: Mom's like, okay, great, get to the Vota phone store,
Speaker 2: go in ask for the three phone. They didn't have
Speaker 2: it in stock. Not what I wanted to hear, not
Speaker 2: what I wanted to hear because I was seeing red.
Speaker 2: I got myself so worked up as I was going
Speaker 2: down the escalator, I got the car.
Speaker 1: I was so worked up. I can't get it today.
Speaker 1: I won't have a phone, and I told everyone I
Speaker 1: was getting at your phone. I was dizzy. I couldn't
Speaker 1: stand straight. I was like trying to hold on the escalator.
Speaker 1: My mom thought I was acting out. I was like, I.
Speaker 2: Can't see alas lost.
Speaker 1: And that's what I knew.
Speaker 2: You can really do some damage if you want to,
Speaker 2: just by thinking yourself sick. And to this day, she
Speaker 2: thought I was just taking the piss. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, the whole room was spinning.
Speaker 1: I was enraged.
Speaker 3: One of the best slash worst experiences of my life
Speaker 3: involves a travelator.
Speaker 1: What happened. My mum was faffing about downstairs at one
Speaker 1: of those like socks. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3: She was taking her sweet ass time. I was over it.
Speaker 3: So I started like going up and down the.
Speaker 2: Travel entertaining yourself. I'm turning it a visual six. Yeah busy, kim.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm going up and down, I'm walking around. I
Speaker 3: decide I'm going to run down the travelator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for fun. So I start at the top and
Speaker 1: I start running, and of course is it a sprint
Speaker 1: like jog? It was a run run in the middle.
Speaker 3: Of course, halfway down, I've gained serious speed. I can't stop.
Speaker 3: I'm Sprinting's so loud, like my little dump dumb dum,
Speaker 3: She's thumping down like this is like in slow motion.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, everybody in the glen like stopped
Speaker 3: to look at this little girl running down the escalator.
Speaker 3: I hit the deck, hit the bottom, flat on my stock,
Speaker 3: and everybody clapped.
Speaker 1: Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 2: It was really that is the best and the worst.
Speaker 2: Did you sustain any injuries? Nah, just a bruised ego. Nice,
Speaker 2: But it was actually kind of iconic, like you know
Speaker 2: those moments where everything's slow mo and it's like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna remember this for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: That was my elevator story.
Speaker 2: We both have one. Yeah, what are the odds? This
Speaker 2: is like the Great the Great Equalizer twins twins. We
Speaker 2: are in luckflex We are in luck because it's not
Speaker 2: every day we talk to legends outside of ourselves.

Speaker 1: How did you know it was done?
Speaker 5: I managed. It really just came out like throw up.
Speaker 6: I don't know that's the horrible analogy, but it really
Speaker 6: just came out like it literally was like we made
Speaker 6: the album.
Speaker 2: How long was it from the first song the inception
Speaker 2: to the release date.
Speaker 6: It was last September, so it was last like middle
Speaker 6: of September.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's quick. People are sitting on tracks
Speaker 1: for years, decades.
Speaker 5: It wasn't last September. It was the September before.
Speaker 1: Okay, there we go.
Speaker 6: That sounds bad yea, yeah, yeah yeah, I'm like, I'm like, wait,

Speaker 2: to hear?
Speaker 6: I mean, what I'm excited about is that it's my
Speaker 6: first album since coming out, and that's really cool because
Speaker 6: this is like the first fully self actualized, like love
Speaker 6: song filled album that I have put out. And I
Speaker 6: think that it speaks volumes when you're listening to it
Speaker 6: because the love songs are really healthy and beautiful and
Speaker 6: really you.
Speaker 1: Know, vast.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'm just excited that people get to hear the baby
Speaker 6: I've been sitting on for a long time.
Speaker 1: So I love these descriptives. I know you've got the
Speaker 1: baby you've been sitting on.
Speaker 5: Okay, I thought about that after I said it was.
Speaker 2: Like baby, So we'll put that in print. Let's play
Speaker 2: a game. I feel like we've got time for that.
Speaker 2: What do you reckon, let's do it.
Speaker 5: I love games.
Speaker 3: Something that we do on Flex and Firms is called
Speaker 3: the six, the Cheeky six, the cheeky six, where we're
Speaker 3: gonna ask you six questions. It's quite rapid fire and
Speaker 3: you just tell us what is on the top of
Speaker 3: your mind.
Speaker 1: Don't think too.
Speaker 2: Hard to be honest. It's fresh, fun, fit, fab and flirty.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: What did you have for breakfast?
Speaker 5: A panini?
Speaker 1: Okay? True?
Speaker 6: Anything inside a turkey panini and an iced coffee.
Speaker 5: That's my breakfast.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's a combination. Going to have that for lunch,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Second, the most important one to me, I'll let you
Speaker 2: do that on it. Do you believe in aliens?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I believe in aliens. I just don't think they
Speaker 5: look like what we think they look like periods.
Speaker 6: I think like those fish that be all the way
Speaker 6: at the bottom of the ocean are aliens, Like the
Speaker 6: freaky ones that like change colors, like cuddlefish.
Speaker 2: The deep sea fishermen. Whatever he's pulling out of the trenches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one that low uliens.
Speaker 3: So what animal would you most identify with on the Earth?
Speaker 6: Probably like a sloth. I think I'm like a really
Speaker 6: cozy person. I don't move slow though. It's the funny part.
Speaker 6: I think sloths are really misunderstood. I think they can
Speaker 6: probably do a lot of things. They're just really underestimated.
Speaker 6: And like, I think they move slow when people are watching,
Speaker 6: but I feel like slots probably get down when nobody's looking.
Speaker 2: Would you rather be the first or last to know
Speaker 2: about a zombie apocalypse?
Speaker 5: Oh? My god, the last period.
Speaker 2: There's only one correct answer, and the last is it?
Speaker 2: What is a pet pave of yours? I want to
Speaker 2: get to know you.
Speaker 5: I really hate when people are mean to waiters.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's not like those people woke up and
Speaker 6: was dying to be a waiter in the first place.
Speaker 6: You know, people are mean to waiters or like uber drivers.
Speaker 6: I will literally, if we're on a date, I will
Speaker 6: never talk to you again. I will get up and
Speaker 6: I will leave.
Speaker 3: Have you ever done that? Have you ever a candidate
Speaker 3: because of that? Well?
Speaker 5: I definitely stop talking to a girl because of that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she plussed uber driver out for and told them like,
Speaker 6: you need to learn how to speak English.
Speaker 2: No evil from that's it. Something can overcome her, for sure.
Speaker 2: We'll got a hold space for her, all right. One
Speaker 2: more question.
Speaker 1: What was your last Google search?
Speaker 5: Oh, Indian food near me?
Speaker 4: Did you find something good? What's your order?
Speaker 6: I get chicken korma and China masala.
Speaker 2: We know so much about you now what your order is?
Speaker 2: Do you believe in aliens? And of course the best
Speaker 2: album ever dropped tourist season period. Thank you so much
Speaker 2: for being with us. We really appreciate it. And come
Speaker 2: back whenever you want. We have so much time for you.
Speaker 5: Australia on my list for tours, so I'll see you guys.
Speaker 3: Yes, bye bye, kail Anie, cheers.
Speaker 2: I am going to do something that you might find
Speaker 2: to be really uncomfortable and quite violating, but this feels
Speaker 2: like the perfect opportunity. A couple of hours ago, you
Speaker 2: and I shared a little trip to the bathroom together.
Speaker 2: We didn't do the same cubicle, but we were a
Speaker 2: cubicle apart. We both began to twinkle at the same time,
Speaker 2: and immediately I was confused as to why yours sounded
Speaker 2: like a v eight horsepower engine and mine like a
Speaker 2: delicate fountain. I was giving like variations of streams. I
Speaker 2: was slowing it down, speeding it up. It was maybe
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds yours was foot on gas forty five seconds
Speaker 2: and I ran out of the bathroom to tell everyone
Speaker 2: what I just experienced. It's one of those things where
Speaker 2: I don't think on an average day. I thought like,
Speaker 2: what what does your twinkle sound like? But I just
Speaker 2: didn't pick you for that. I have called you a
Speaker 2: bush pick, and it's been affirmed on the way you
Speaker 2: in the car. I was thinking about bush pigs. We
Speaker 2: call it you other bush pigs. Well, we don't call it.
Speaker 2: I call you as it's not a week thing. I
Speaker 2: call you a wildebeese exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I need to pee a lot of the time.
Speaker 3: I drink a lot of water. And I will admit
Speaker 3: this morning stream was giving horse. Yeah, it was giving
Speaker 3: pregnant woman.
Speaker 2: And I didn't mean to judge your stream, but I
Speaker 2: think I have read or overheard once before.
Speaker 1: You're not meant to push that aggressively.
Speaker 2: It's really bad for your what do you call that
Speaker 2: another diaphragmthra? I don't know if it's at either both
Speaker 2: ways one or two number one number two. You're not
Speaker 2: meant to push, it's meant to ease out.
Speaker 1: I was pushing.
Speaker 2: It was like, itch, Okay, I've had enough please stop.
Speaker 2: The nonsense comes from frooms. The beautiful thoughts and hot
Speaker 2: takes come from flex.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: Right now we are sitting down in the studio, no
Speaker 3: wings around, We are firmly put and yet I have
Speaker 3: aeroplane on the brain.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think we can both agree that if you're sitting
Speaker 2: in the middle seat, on a technicality, both armrests should
Speaker 2: be yours to use freely. But I can understand why
Speaker 2: middle seat means no arm rests as well.
Speaker 3: Strongly firmly disagree. So we've talked about horizontal etiquette on
Speaker 3: the plane, have we? Yeah, vertical, Now that's horizontal.
Speaker 1: Oh but I thought you mean vertical is like sitting upwards. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what we're going to do next. Vertical.
Speaker 3: So you're sitting upwards in a chair. What happens when
Speaker 3: you recline? This is a whole new ball game, and
Speaker 3: I don't know the etiquette around reclining. For example, you
Speaker 3: are on the Melbourne to Sydney. You're flying economy.
Speaker 1: I know it very well, do you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you decide you're going to recline. You've had
Speaker 3: a really big day to fly and fly out kind
Speaker 3: of situation. Are you reclining?
Speaker 2: The rules are, and listen closely, please, There is no
Speaker 2: reclining on a domestic.
Speaker 1: Flight, none at all.
Speaker 2: If it's less sorry, let me caveat If it's a
Speaker 2: domestic flight less than three hours, you cannot recline. It's inappropriate.
Speaker 2: It's savage behavior. It honestly is. The reclining is for
Speaker 2: the comfort of a long haul flight, right you know
Speaker 2: you're doing your Sydney Taghana.
Speaker 4: Not sure if you've done it before. I have plenty
Speaker 4: of time.
Speaker 2: And when you're getting to your halfway stop in Dubai,
Speaker 2: it's been thirteen hours. You deserve a recline at about
Speaker 2: four or five hours in you do deserve that.
Speaker 1: As for a.
Speaker 2: Domestic a Sydney to Melbourne, a quick one one and
Speaker 2: a half hour, upright, upright. And what a lot of
Speaker 2: people don't utilize enough is the head rest.
Speaker 1: Use the head rest, babe.
Speaker 2: If you want to relax and you need a bit
Speaker 2: of next support, just use the head rest it what's
Speaker 2: that word I'm looking for? Crunch crunches inwards to support
Speaker 2: the neck. But you don't need to be reclining backwards.
Speaker 2: That being said, though, if I feel it on my
Speaker 2: spirit to recline and it's been thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm not uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I paid my money and I understand to be the
Speaker 2: person behind the recliner.
Speaker 1: I get it. Also, coughing on a plane ill, it's fun,
Speaker 1: it's gross. Coughing in public. Stop it.
Speaker 2: There's not a day that goes by when I don't
Speaker 2: discover another insecurity, not of my own, but just on
Speaker 2: the internet.
Speaker 1: Do you have any insecurities?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got heaps, but I don't disclose because if
Speaker 2: I see them and I tell everyone and they see them,
Speaker 2: well now they're real. Yes, So you just pretend you
Speaker 2: don't for optics and suffer in silence alone.
Speaker 1: Do you tell your friends though, Well, it comes up.
Speaker 1: I won't hide it, but I'm not going to share it.
Speaker 2: But yes, I go on the internet and people like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, that's space between your top lip and the
Speaker 2: bottom of your nose, and like, what about it?
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: People have insecurities about the distance between the bottom of
Speaker 2: their nose and the.
Speaker 1: Top of their lip.
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, okay, these are all things. Have
Speaker 2: your insecurities. I'm not gonna be the insecurity police. But
Speaker 2: I'm just like, Okay, there are a few key calls
Speaker 2: and then the rest.
Speaker 1: We have to let them go.
Speaker 2: But as I was scrolling on the clock app, I
Speaker 2: saw this video of a girl selfie mode front camera
Speaker 2: sitting in what appears to be a medical office of
Speaker 2: some sort. Not her account, I thought was weird, but
Speaker 2: she was talking about how for the longest time, she's
Speaker 2: felt really insecure about her voice, that it's too high pitched,
Speaker 2: and so she's gone to the surgeon's office. Too deepen it,
Speaker 2: I'll do some voice acting.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what she sounds like. Hey, everyone, for the
Speaker 1: longest time, I've.
Speaker 2: Had an insecurity that my voice is too high and
Speaker 2: I think it makes me sound like a child. And
Speaker 2: so I'm sitting with Doctormlem.
Speaker 4: To see what he can do for me.
Speaker 2: She gets the surgery the next day, so he's done this.
Speaker 2: She had the Flax special. So I'm really happy with
Speaker 2: my voice at the moment, I feel like I sound
Speaker 2: like a mature woman. This is what I've ached for
Speaker 2: for the last fifteen years. I'm so happy. And the
Speaker 2: comments naturally were tearing her act. This is not one
Speaker 2: of those moments where you're like, oh, you know, like
Speaker 2: I don't like my back girls, and everyone's.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's saying. They were like, you're honest, as
Speaker 1: your voice was perfect. Can I be honest, I don't
Speaker 1: like your new voice. You sound like a man.
Speaker 2: And then she's in the comments fighting for her life.
Speaker 2: You don't enter, you don't enter, you don't enter, just
Speaker 2: let it play. Yeah, So okay, do they like cut
Speaker 2: the vocal cords or something. It was like before and
Speaker 2: after she comes out to the tube, surgeon was like, can.
Speaker 1: You make this noise? Ah?
Speaker 2: And then in the before it's like ah, and in
Speaker 2: the after it was like oh.
Speaker 1: And then he was like, you see, in forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: you too.
Speaker 2: Could deepen your voice like this per And I need
Speaker 2: to nail home the point we all have insecurities. But
Speaker 2: I just feel like if we were sitting in a
Speaker 2: room on our own, in our lonesome, these insecurities would
Speaker 2: be I don't know, ninety percent lessened. What kind of
Speaker 2: interaction do we need to be having in society where
Speaker 2: some persons felt so traumatized by the pitch of their voice.
Speaker 1: Now snipping chords.
Speaker 2: And now she's finally happy with herself. I presume she
Speaker 2: would have Bier's remorse. You know, it was very quick.
Speaker 2: She was still in her surgical arms making the video,
Speaker 2: and now everybody's roasting her. Her new insecurity is going
Speaker 2: to be I was bullied by fifteen year olds on
Speaker 2: TikTok for doing something nice for myself.
Speaker 1: Always fifteen year olds brutal, you see.
Speaker 3: And the issue here is that people that are often
Speaker 3: going out and getting surgery have dys morphia.
Speaker 1: Is that a stat it is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, hectic?
Speaker 1: So poor cis Can you do your deepest voice?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's what's the word alphabet ab A, ab CD,
Speaker 2: e f G.
Speaker 1: My voice is already pretty deep. No, it's not that
Speaker 1: was hard? What are you already ABCD? I want to
Speaker 1: stop you right there. Okay, ABC, you should have led
Speaker 1: with that show and tell, just to show and tell.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me to join roasted.
Speaker 2: One thing I learned about myself this week is I
Speaker 2: have very poor impulse control. I see things that make
Speaker 2: me uncomfortable, and I dig deep. I watch something that
Speaker 2: scares me, and I seek out more information. It's not good.
Speaker 2: It's not good. This one in particular, I was lured in.
Speaker 2: I saw this video of a girl who was recording
Speaker 2: her face selfie mode on presumably an iPhone, not sure,
Speaker 2: but she was recording her reaction to something that she
Speaker 2: was watching, and the comment said hashtag Dubai, hashtag Instagram model.
Speaker 2: I couldn't understand what it meant, but everybody in the
Speaker 2: comments just knew, and they were in on this thing
Speaker 2: that I couldn't discern.
Speaker 1: What were they saying? Oh, like, so gross?
Speaker 2: I wish I hadn't seen that. Oh I'm scarred forever.
Speaker 2: Why didn't I just click away? Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Something Okay, like has to be traumatizing in the best
Speaker 2: way or the worst way, But I couldn't yet discern.
Speaker 1: I let it go.
Speaker 2: Not enough information for me to start researching. What can
Speaker 2: I do with those two search terms? Okay, I'm just
Speaker 2: a casual googler.
Speaker 1: Casual.
Speaker 2: A couple videos later, another person reacting to this video
Speaker 2: they had seen, but they were doing more theatrics, crying,
Speaker 2: you know, acting out. Anyway, somebody said, go to Twitter
Speaker 2: and type in Dubai porta potty Instagram model, something to
Speaker 2: that nature.
Speaker 1: Here is your disclaimer. Do not go and watch the video.
Speaker 2: I've said what I needs to say, so, I pull
Speaker 2: up Twitter, I type in this information and I don't
Speaker 2: even know what I'm seeing. But the best way I
Speaker 2: can describe it to.
Speaker 1: You is iPhone.
Speaker 2: Maybe are on selfie mode in front of a person,
Speaker 2: A girl with her neck tipped back so mouth to
Speaker 2: the ceiling.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, hey, this seems fine. I know
Speaker 2: what's happening here. Then about two seconds later, I see
Speaker 2: a person squat over her face and proceed to use
Speaker 2: her mouth.
Speaker 1: Like a toilet. What does it mean? I need to know?
Speaker 1: I'm getting the shakes. I'm getting the shakes. What am
Speaker 1: I watching?
Speaker 4: Here's the thing?
Speaker 1: It was number two, but something wasn't correct. Is a
Speaker 1: low fiber diet? For sure? I'm a delicate girl. You
Speaker 1: know what that's like. Open your champagne bottle. This is
Speaker 1: what I can imagine.
Speaker 2: You know, when you're squeezing a tomato sauce bottle, heines,
Speaker 2: think about the hinds packaging, not the other one, and
Speaker 2: you squeeze so hard that the lid pops off and
Speaker 2: everything goes everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's what had happened.
Speaker 2: And then at this point you would think turn away, flex,
Speaker 2: put it away, exit out. I didn't There's always been
Speaker 2: this rumor that Instagram models go to Dubai and get
Speaker 2: paid for their presence, and people assume this is what
Speaker 2: they're being paid there.
Speaker 1: To do, but this is what they're really doing. Who knows.
Speaker 2: The reason why I had to share is because you know,
Speaker 2: when you go through something so traumatic that you think
Speaker 2: that your life will never be the same. I didn't
Speaker 2: want to be on this island on my own, I
Speaker 2: really didn't.
Speaker 1: I have to share. It is actually the most horrifying thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: here I go. Okay, so I'm seeing the asshole. You're
Speaker 1: not horrified. It looks like it looks like scrambled eggs.
Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah, That's where I'm gonna leave it. So flex,
Speaker 3: As we learned earlier in the episode, you are an asshole.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I like you now, I like you, admit it.
Speaker 1: But it is time for our favorite segment. Am I
Speaker 1: the asshole? Yes? My favorite? My community gatherers.
Speaker 3: My wife's Facebook comments have become a red flag, a
Speaker 3: huge red flag.
Speaker 1: Okay, she's gonna have some more dumper. Okay.
Speaker 3: Last week my phone screen broke, so I've been using
Speaker 3: a dumb phone and had to borrow her phone. When
Speaker 3: I wanted to check something because my other phone was
Speaker 3: getting fixed. I wanted to log into my Facebook account,
Speaker 3: and before switching, there was a post on her timeline
Speaker 3: from a women and marriage group about a member who
Speaker 3: was getting married and asking for advice on how to
Speaker 3: navigate the first few months of marriage. Most of the
Speaker 3: comments contained some normal advice don't go to bed piece, clean.
Speaker 1: His shoes with a boot.
Speaker 3: My wife's comment was totally different. She said that men
Speaker 3: after a marriage are like puppies, so it's important to
Speaker 3: discipline them from the start, and you have many problems
Speaker 3: in the future. I couldn't believe what I was seeing,
Speaker 3: and I thought she was making a weird joke. But
Speaker 3: I check her comment history on that group, and most
Speaker 3: of her responses are terrible, making carrot and stick analogies,
Speaker 3: saying that if you want to have a comfortable married life,
Speaker 3: you have to learn how to turn your man into
Speaker 3: a slave without him noticing. I work full time and
Speaker 3: she works part time as a cashier, and I've always
Speaker 3: gone out of my way to help because that's what
Speaker 3: a partner does. Reading that stuff about making your husband
Speaker 3: a slave made my blood boil.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sad, I'm rather very sad.
Speaker 3: I'm not a very confrontational person, and I've always avoided
Speaker 3: bringing up the subject for the past two days because
Speaker 3: I don't know how to approach it.
Speaker 1: It's been two days festering to the last two days. Okay,
Speaker 1: who's the asshole?
Speaker 2: I'm going to say that your play around fire, get
Speaker 2: it burned. I feel like, in his instance, you checking
Speaker 2: the Facebook. It's a private group that you weren't invited to.
Speaker 2: Huge red flag. Now you're snooping and how do you
Speaker 2: know that your only husband?
Speaker 1: You know. I think he's taking it really personally.
Speaker 2: It could be back about anyone, but I will say
Speaker 2: she is the asshole only because only because he seems
Speaker 2: to be surprised that she's doing this, which means that
Speaker 2: there's a sense of manipulation happening where he thinks it's
Speaker 2: fine and dandy.
Speaker 1: They have a super aligned.
Speaker 2: Relationship and literally he's been pavlovd by her. She is
Speaker 2: the puppet master. He is the puppet that's gaining sentience.
Speaker 2: He is Truman and he's just figured out his life
Speaker 2: is the Truman Show. He has not had one thought
Speaker 2: or had one action that wasn't controlled by her in
Speaker 2: some capacity.
Speaker 1: That's hectic, that tchic.
Speaker 4: Can they both be the asshole? I think that'd be
Speaker 4: fair and fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think degrees of assholeness. I definitely think I
Speaker 3: think that Cheese the asshole to be honest.
Speaker 1: No, wait, no, I don't. I think he's the asshole.
Speaker 1: Hereats asshole because I've been in.
Speaker 3: Parts of Facebook groups where the stuff that I've said
Speaker 3: is absolutely appalling and foul.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, you're making posts.
Speaker 3: I'm making posts in a closed group hectic. I won't
Speaker 3: name the name because it's like a little bit like
Speaker 3: the Illuminati.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, and.
Speaker 2: The first rule of an Illuminati member don't disclose what
Speaker 2: you speak about exactly.
Speaker 1: So I'll stop it there.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I've definitely if you look through my comment history,
Speaker 3: the stuff that I send my friends on DMS.
Speaker 2: Can I stop you there? Are you really saying? Do
Speaker 2: not judge me by the cook stuff I've said in
Speaker 2: Facebook groups? Because what is the reason.
Speaker 1: What happens in the Facebook group stays in the Facebook group?
Speaker 1: You're a sicko.
Speaker 2: They're both the asshole. Case closed. But if I'm going
Speaker 2: to stand by someone, I'm a ride with the girl.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I'll see you in the marritable bed.
Speaker 3: We're talking about getting older and mobility. Flex can't really
Speaker 3: like cross her, but.
Speaker 2: I'm actually quite flexible. Every time I go do Pilate's like, wow,
Speaker 2: you're really flexible. I'm like, why he's priced.
Speaker 1: We're getting older? That is no mystery. That's a fact
Speaker 1: for me. It's been ten years, are we though?
Speaker 2: Because I don't want to get into chin and foil
Speaker 2: hat territory, but I will. If time is a construct,
Speaker 2: is what is aging a myth?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm indifferent to aging.
Speaker 3: Just the fact that we're getting older doesn't necessarily make
Speaker 3: me feel sad.
Speaker 1: It's just a fact, okay.
Speaker 3: And the fact is both ninety five babies, Cusp of
Speaker 3: gen Z, that.
Speaker 1: Is a lie? What are you ninety four? Oh crap?
Speaker 3: Well as the younger one, I am Cusp of gen Z.
Speaker 3: Here with a millennial, I like say I'm gen Z
Speaker 3: sometimes too.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's been ten years since I graduated high school
Speaker 3: and so therefore next Friday I have my ten year reunion.
Speaker 3: I am going to the effort of flying to Melbourne
Speaker 3: for this reunion.
Speaker 1: That's light flex.
Speaker 3: I am going all in for this reunion. And when
Speaker 3: we were discussing this segment, you said that you didn't
Speaker 3: go to yours.
Speaker 1: I did not go.
Speaker 4: Why better question? Why do you want to do? Let's
Speaker 4: get that out of the way.
Speaker 3: Well, something that keeps the bond of me and my
Speaker 3: high school girlfriends and boyfriends going is talking about people
Speaker 3: from high school.
Speaker 1: Oh you're one of those. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're looking at Facebook. We're corroborating evidence. There's a
Speaker 3: girl from my high school who comments on things that
Speaker 3: I post on Facebook, weird like cryptic comments.
Speaker 1: Can we get an example? Like I uploaded one of
Speaker 1: you and me and she was like it was wrong
Speaker 1: to do that. Mew meow. Oh okay, she's deep in it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: something's wrong.
Speaker 3: That's five G Yeah, and like really really cook stuff
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to go.
Speaker 3: Because I'm like she might be there to catch up
Speaker 3: and get some intel. You can't just DM her no
Speaker 3: because I'm just going to get the same behavior.
Speaker 1: I need a circuit breaker. How do you know she's going.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: She might not, but I think it's just nice to
Speaker 3: be able to get a stock take reminisce on old times.
Speaker 3: I know you're a very reflective person. Maybe I'm going
Speaker 3: to go to the reunion and someone's going to say, hey,
Speaker 3: you know what, you were an assholeugh, And I'll.
Speaker 1: Sit with that like I was also seventeen.
Speaker 3: I think though, No, I think once an asshole, always
Speaker 3: an asshole.
Speaker 1: No way.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, people get humbled. Life is a very busy experience.
Speaker 1: The reunion is going to be my ultimate humbling. But
Speaker 1: you haven't answered the question why are you going? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Some want to do.
Speaker 2: So, You're gonna get on a plane, pay money to
Speaker 2: go hang out with high school people.
Speaker 3: I just think it's gonna be funny. I just want
Speaker 3: to see who's married. I want to gas myself up.
Speaker 3: I guess that's a question. If you're going to your
Speaker 3: ten year reunion, are you gassing yourself up? Or are
Speaker 3: you downplaying your achievements.
Speaker 4: They see me, they know I'm not going to my
Speaker 4: I didn't go.
Speaker 1: I had a five year one. I didn't go. I
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a ten year one. Look, in
Speaker 1: the nicest.
Speaker 4: Way possible, I do not know those people.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just think that, like high school people are already
Speaker 2: too over familiar. They're on the cloud chaser train. And
Speaker 2: I also don't like to talk about myself. I want
Speaker 2: to talk about things.
Speaker 1: I'm here for the free kind of past.
Speaker 2: High school unions are lame, so lame. Grow up life
Speaker 2: goes on. Well, I'm living on this earth. We haven't
Speaker 2: even explored the whole ocean. And you want to go
Speaker 2: back to high school. Put on your scuba diving gear
Speaker 2: and get down there.
Speaker 1: Go get down there. You've been listening to the Flex
Speaker 1: and Rooms catch Up podcast. For more, tune in to
