Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Thursday, the tenth of August. Let's be a
Speaker 2: reminder to all of you please send us voice notes.
Speaker 2: I love hearing disparate voices in the show. Believe it
Speaker 2: or not, it does get quite jarring having to listen
Speaker 2: to your own voice at nauseum when you know it
Speaker 2: is my favorite podcast. I do listen to this back.
Speaker 2: I'm in the trenches through.
Speaker 1: The rest of you, your top one percent listener.
Speaker 2: Honestly, when the rap comes out, this is really I'm like,
Speaker 2: I hope no one's on around.
Speaker 1: No one's around when I get the notification.
Speaker 2: Today we can talk about though. Can you ask your
Speaker 2: parents for money when you're our age?
Speaker 1: It's a whole one.
Speaker 2: You're with Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 1: Let's go, mummay can I listen to Flex and Rooms
Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: I'm kita.
Speaker 3: Is it okay for me to be asking your parents
Speaker 3: for money in your twenties?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew this was your culture. It
Speaker 1: spooks me.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say you people, because that comes
Speaker 3: across derogatory. Are you talking late twenties I'm being No.
Speaker 1: You're not being a contrarian. No, you're offencitting. Actually your culture,
Speaker 1: you would.
Speaker 2: No, I actually haven't asked my parents for money in
Speaker 2: at least given you money, gifted you money. It's been
Speaker 2: some birthday presents. Absolutely a couple hundred here and there.
Speaker 3: Okay, I only ask because I've spent some time in
Speaker 3: the refinery twenty nine money diaries, which I don't know
Speaker 3: why people do this to themselves.
Speaker 1: I just feel like.
Speaker 3: We're being too forthcoming and not even with the information
Speaker 3: that matters. This chick, she says, she's thirty four years old, married,
Speaker 3: She owns an e commerce business, and she makes five
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. Her partner also
Speaker 3: makes five hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and
Speaker 3: up until the age of twenty eight, she received passive
Speaker 3: income SLIGH from her mum, who would send her five
Speaker 3: thousand dollars a month USD to cover her rent and
Speaker 3: other expenses. Until twenty eight. You didn't even see the
Speaker 3: problem with.
Speaker 2: It, honestly, life, It's just like this is solature strip feeding.
Speaker 1: They're drink feeding the inheritance. This is madness.
Speaker 3: Why one of the concerns with living in Australia, being
Speaker 3: born and in Australia but having another predominant culture is that
Speaker 3: I forget that not everybody oscillates between the two. I
Speaker 3: can look at Australian culture and see it as like
Speaker 3: I'm watching a movie in Australian culture. This sounds very
Speaker 3: normal and commonplace for a person in their twenties to
Speaker 3: still be interacting with their parents like they're a child.
Speaker 3: As opposed to you, as the person in your twenties
Speaker 3: giving your parents a little something to touch, the size,
Speaker 3: a little pocket money here and there.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know anything about it, would you? Absolutely not insane?
Speaker 1: What else do people do?
Speaker 2: Do it?
Speaker 1: More about your culture?
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. And then this person goes on
Speaker 3: to say additionally, over the past few years, mind you,
Speaker 3: if she stopped receiving the five K at twenty eight,
Speaker 3: she's now thirty four, that's six years of being on
Speaker 3: her own. She says additionally, over the past few years,
Speaker 3: I've received three hundred and seventy thousand dollars from my
Speaker 3: mum as a gift, of course, and ten K from
Speaker 3: my dad as a gift. My grandma also gifted me
Speaker 3: and my sister a house.
Speaker 2: I say, like point, why work honesty is the best
Speaker 2: policy here.
Speaker 3: My issue fundamentally is if you're getting this much money
Speaker 3: and gifts, just rest because I feel like it's your
Speaker 3: ego that's saying I need to prove that I'm worthwhile
Speaker 3: of having this extra money by working and showing you
Speaker 3: that I can make more.
Speaker 1: Don't even worry about it by relax. Life is for living.
Speaker 3: I figured out how we're all going to live forever,
Speaker 3: or at least far longer than we've anticipated. It does
Speaker 3: involve moving, however, I think that's a small price to
Speaker 3: pay for immortality or something close to.
Speaker 1: We have to move to a blues Z.
Speaker 3: I know what you're thinking. It's not aliens, it's not extraterrestrial.
Speaker 3: They're just areas, and people who live there consistently live
Speaker 3: the longest on average. They have the highest concentration of
Speaker 3: people over one hundred years old, and they also have
Speaker 3: really high amounts of people who've reached this age without
Speaker 3: health complications like cancer and diabetes and heart disease. Okay,
Speaker 3: I feel like we got to go their asap. And
Speaker 3: I've been having this sensation of needing to get on
Speaker 3: the tools recently, you know, really like become put my
Speaker 3: Jesus hat on and be a carpenter. I just think
Speaker 3: I'm getting to that point.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 3: There are only five known blue zones in the entire world.
Speaker 3: If you're living in Sydney thinking that this will be
Speaker 3: enough to live, ever, it's not going to be enough.
Speaker 1: We have to move. Tama Cemetery is coming for you, bab. Literally.
Speaker 3: We've got Ikaria in Greece, We've got the ole Astro
Speaker 3: region in Sardinia, Italy, Okinawa, Japan, the Low Melinda region
Speaker 3: in California, and the Nicola Peninsula in Costa Rica. All right, Greece,
Speaker 3: Costa Rica, Sardinia, Japan or California. Now they figured out
Speaker 3: some common threads between all of these five places which
Speaker 3: will help us figure out if we can't move, but
Speaker 3: I think we should move, how we can replicate their
Speaker 3: lifestyle at home. The common links include they all come
Speaker 3: from these really deeply community centered cultures. Hanging out with
Speaker 3: your girlies, with your boy bosses, it's part of your culture.
Speaker 1: You do it every day. You're connected.
Speaker 3: And they've been saying that being lonely can reduce your
Speaker 3: life up to fifteen years. You can't afford it, But
Speaker 3: you can't afford it. Giggling with the girlies needs to
Speaker 3: be a vocation. Also, the big one that you're not
Speaker 3: gonna like to hear the majority of their diets are
Speaker 3: whole food and ninety five percent or more plant based.
Speaker 3: I know it's going to be a big one is
Speaker 3: get off the Coca colas, get off the Allen's lollies.
Speaker 3: They're saying, I don't know if I personally can. I'll
Speaker 3: find another way. You, on the other hand, you need to.
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
Speaker 3: Also, they say that being active and outside is part
Speaker 3: of their everyday lives. And so while we in certain countries,
Speaker 3: you know, get a committed to go to the gym
Speaker 3: or like organized sport, very active ways of getting near it,
Speaker 3: these places, blue zones generally have more passive ways of
Speaker 3: incorporating exercise, like walking and gardening, raising animals, things like that,
Speaker 3: being part of the community. This makes me excited. I
Speaker 3: feel like the older I get, the more I'm reckoning
Speaker 3: with the idea that things that work work, and we're
Speaker 3: not unique for living lives that don't work for us,
Speaker 3: Like it was never gonna work for us to be
Speaker 3: living these twelve hour work days, four hours of sleep,
Speaker 3: trying to one hundred.
Speaker 1: It was never going to be us.
Speaker 3: If we want to live forever, if we want to
Speaker 3: have amazing lives, we have to take hectic measures. I
Speaker 3: don't know if we're there yet, but I am thinking
Speaker 3: of starting a cult so I could lead the way.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the spirit, babe. Yeah, I can tell you
Speaker 2: more about that tomorrow. You're listening to Flex and Rooms
Speaker 2: on Kata.
Speaker 3: Do you reckon a mobile Pokemon game could make you
Speaker 3: a better sleeper?
Speaker 1: Do you really think?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: This is how you know there's something. I'm going to
Speaker 1: tech industry.
Speaker 3: They said there's not enough money in gaming, there's not
Speaker 3: enough money in health, but there is enough money in
Speaker 3: sleep tracking, and we need to get into that. Frey
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier the Pokemon go era. Where were you when
Speaker 3: you were chasing little Pokemon through your phone?
Speaker 2: Do you know where I was? I was living in
Speaker 2: Melbourne at the time, but I was on a trip
Speaker 2: for Sydney. May. My two friends went walked all the
Speaker 2: way to Sydney Harbor Bridge. People everywhere May I've never
Speaker 2: seen them many people.
Speaker 3: I love pandemonium, which is why I'm quite excited about
Speaker 3: this Barbie and Matilda's height, because it's interesting to see
Speaker 3: everyone get excited about a singular thing. The enthusiasm is amazing.
Speaker 3: But this I'm kind of funny about. Like we've said before,
Speaker 3: most things have a sinister core and we just need
Speaker 3: to find it. So I did some googling and came
Speaker 3: across the this new app called Pokemon's Sleep. I went
Speaker 3: on their website and everything. I was like, what it
Speaker 3: is about. They've basically said, if you struggle to get
Speaker 3: energized in the morning, all your same old bedtime routine
Speaker 3: has growing tiresome, you can turn your sleep into entertainment
Speaker 3: with Pokemon Sleep.
Speaker 1: Playing. The game is simple.
Speaker 3: All you do is place your smartphone by your pillow,
Speaker 3: then you go to sleep.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: The longer you sleep, the higher your sleep score in
Speaker 3: the morning. I said, this is nonsense, but we do
Speaker 3: a bit of a grab for you to listen to.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be the salesman for this. I
Speaker 3: might not even try it, but I think it's important
Speaker 3: you hear it from the horse's mouth.
Speaker 4: Before we went to sleep. Every night, you set your
Speaker 4: alarm time, then place the pluggin phone screen down, resting
Speaker 4: on your bed. The game will then track all the
Speaker 4: movements and noses you make in the nights and combine
Speaker 4: that with the moment you wake up to anallows the
Speaker 4: quality and type of your sleep. You get a detailed
Speaker 4: breakdown of your sleep, alongside a series of audio recordings
Speaker 4: which you can expect to be loud snores and about
Speaker 4: to sleep talking. You'll also right the quality of your
Speaker 4: sleep out of ninety five and the type of sleep
Speaker 4: you had, ranging from dozing, snoozing, and slumbering.
Speaker 2: That voice danger, I mean, I'm suspicious, and I don't
Speaker 2: like being suspicious.
Speaker 1: But are you telling me this is the future?
Speaker 3: I will say though, When I was doing some additional
Speaker 3: research with this, because it's a very new game, it's
Speaker 3: only been out for like a couple of days now,
Speaker 3: so there's not many articles or reviews, and those that
Speaker 3: exist are giving you peat codes on how to play
Speaker 3: the game better.
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
Speaker 3: But there was this ABC audio excerpt that was saying
Speaker 3: that sleep therapists everywhere saying that this is an amazing innovation.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to listen to it, though I had
Speaker 3: my own agenda.
Speaker 1: Listen, I am I gonna try. I think I might
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 3: What is getting me though, is that Pokemon has cracked
Speaker 3: the code of keeping your user time up because if
Speaker 3: you have to keep the app open while you sleep,
Speaker 3: that's eight hours of user retention time. And then when
Speaker 3: you wake up and you start playing the game based
Speaker 3: on your sleep, people are going to be tuned in
Speaker 3: and then building it into someone's routine.
Speaker 2: That's how you really make money, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Literally anyway, maybe I'll try it, maybe I won't, but
Speaker 3: if I do, I let you know, of course.
Speaker 2: Flex mummy, I have a small ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, long back, we were having this conversation. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a little while ago.
Speaker 2: I was ashamed, some would say, but I mean in
Speaker 2: my stride, took it in my stride. So I have
Speaker 2: been quite interested in my own behind for a long time,
Speaker 2: mainly because I can't see it, and the one time
Speaker 2: I can see it is in the day with Jones
Speaker 2: change room, which is really not doing me any favors.
Speaker 2: I've always wondered my ass, like, it's not that I
Speaker 2: have nothing down there, it's just that it's very flat
Speaker 2: on the side, and also at the back it's kind
Speaker 2: of curved under a frog like appearance of the ass.
Speaker 2: So when anyone gives me an ass based compliment, I'm
Speaker 2: clocking because I know it's a lie.
Speaker 1: Why why?
Speaker 2: Why have I never been able to understand that whatever
Speaker 2: weight I am, the ass is really small, because that
Speaker 2: shouldn't make sense, right, fat is evenly distributed, you'd think,
Speaker 2: is No, it's not.
Speaker 1: And apparently evenly distributed, you'd think, I say.
Speaker 2: It turns out that I flex mummy have a low crack.
Speaker 1: Someone brought this up on Instagram and I had to
Speaker 1: bring in here. So the question is there's a low
Speaker 1: crack equal small?
Speaker 2: But I thought so.
Speaker 3: But then on my Instagram someone was like, yo, Beyonce,
Speaker 3: I got.
Speaker 1: A short butt crack.
Speaker 3: I thought that when I saw the Crazy and Love video,
Speaker 3: so I pulled it up.
Speaker 1: Then got a small bull.
Speaker 2: Crack, and she got and she got a whole thing
Speaker 2: at the back.
Speaker 1: She goes on to say, yeah, see.
Speaker 3: I disagree with what you're coming to the table with.
Speaker 3: And I'm not here to tell you what your body
Speaker 3: is or isn't. But I have had a look in
Speaker 3: my time, and I too have had my own experience
Speaker 3: with trying to observe what my bum is because I
Speaker 3: too don't have a bum. I've got a crazy arch
Speaker 3: and a shelf which gives the appearance of a bum.
Speaker 2: Please explain it to that.
Speaker 1: So, okay, we all know what an arch is.
Speaker 3: So my lower back gives the appearance and it's going
Speaker 3: almost like a ski slope into a huge bum. It's wide,
Speaker 3: but a very low crack. You have a low crack,
Speaker 3: no shelf like Beyonce. I don't know why you brought
Speaker 3: in that that comparison. You tried it.
Speaker 1: It's your long back and then of course low crack.
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you've ever wondered why is it that
Speaker 2: my ass is so small? And yeah, I can't quite
Speaker 2: put my finger on it, how to look at where
Speaker 2: your cracks position? Because my crack I don't want to
Speaker 2: get graphic, but the front crack is quite tall. It's
Speaker 2: like the crack like someone's cut me in the Jesus.
Speaker 1: In the God mat correct who made me? I wasn't
Speaker 1: named darwit.
Speaker 2: Because he was getting to the end of the production line.
Speaker 2: He says, I'm gonna stip without even looking.
Speaker 1: Why is the crack?
Speaker 2: This is my body from the side on. You assume
Speaker 2: bum cracking down to a little front crack. Mine goes boom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you so much for sharing. That's really brave.
Speaker 2: Duncan from the content team of ARN said, make sure
Speaker 2: you share some personal things, ladies, the on ince will
Speaker 2: really feel rely resonate with this.
