<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast. You're wearing a watch today

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>for me? Yes, welcome back to the podcast. Let just

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>ask if I'm wearing a watch, what do you think?

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it functional?

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't read the time, babe?

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Also the only reason I'm wearing it is because my

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>dad has started selling watches. Oh, okay, salesman. First it

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>was cars, nows watches. It was insurance when he was

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>my age, perfect, very good at it, thousands of dollars

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a week, babes, absolutely burning through the cash selling insurance door.

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>The door burning through it? What's that mean? The cash

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>burning new cash?

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>He spent it?

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, knocking, he said. I went down King Street in Sydney,

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>where all the globes are knocked on every person's door.

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I sold insurance. He was a real one. I sent

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>him a message because he asked me every time I

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>call him, maybe call him twice a week, are you

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>wearing my watch? Are you wearing my watch? Because he

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>gave me this watch. Oh, he's like fixated. So I

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>sent him a photo of the watch. He said, elegance.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>You can't buy class. Oh facts? Is that a dig?

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Is it. It's not actually sitting with I thought it

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>would go off sis.

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 3>How great is that?

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't people just ask you. It's just like preoccupied

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>me wearing this watch.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>And now you've worn it's not what to do himself and.

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just not suiting my aesthetic, but I have to

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>wear it. It's cute anyway, bring back watches for people

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>who cannot read analog of time and it was quite

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>a blut on my household growing up, also diding no timetables. Anyway,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm sick of it. Let's go to the podcast you're

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>listening to, Flex and Rooms on Kita. Someone has messaging

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and wants us to know if they're the asshole for

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>not letting their partner watch their favorite show.

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Let's rebrand asshole. I think if more people were just

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>open assholes, we would be more excited people weren't assholes.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Definitely, that might be an asshole.

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, probably, If you have to ask, I'm gonna say yeah.

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Based up. My boyfriend and I have a weekly date

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>night where we cooked in out and watch a movie

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>or TV show.

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Love date night. Yeah.

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Recently, my boyfriend has been going through a tough time

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.559
<v Speaker 1>dealing with his anxis and he's been using his favorite

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>TV show as a way to cope. Okay, mine is

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Sex and the City. Last Friday, I that we watch

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 1>a romantic movie instead of his show, but he insisted

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>that we watch it because it helps him relax. However,

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't in the mood for it and wanted to

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>watch something different. He got upset and revealed to me

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that the show was a comforting escape for him during

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>his panic attacks. Wow, he's hitting me with a panic attacks.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>That's mean, that's real going for I didn't know how

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to react because I don't want to invalidate his feelings. However,

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I also didn't want to give up her date night tradition.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>He accused me of being selfish and not understanding his

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.399
<v Speaker 1>mental health struggles, and I felt like he was using

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>his personal issue to guild me into watching something he

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>said weaponize watching something I didn't want to watch. Now,

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm told between when he's support him and needing our

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>date night to be enjoyable for both of us. So

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>am I the ourseholf for not letting my boyfriend watch

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>his favorite TV show during date night? We were a

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>date night. You should be doing one for one I,

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>for one, have a housemate who I and she would

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.399
<v Speaker 1>say it herself has dog tastes in movies in cinema.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I probably do too, you actually now yeah, but she's

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>like watching rom coms all day and all night, like yeah,

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>rom comms from ten years ago, Like really not it.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>We did watch Bridge Jones the other day and that

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>was lit. But I will say, you need to find

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a happy medium. She doesn't like watching scary movies, so

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>instead we come in the middle and we watch true

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.839
<v Speaker 1>crime youtubes. That is a happy medium. So I think

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you and your partner need to either get a happy

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>medium and both supper or do bit by bit time

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>by time because your mental health is in a good place.

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>It's in a good place because you put yourself first.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I just think, if you can't decide on a show,

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.679
<v Speaker 3>don't watch a show for date night, Just why don't

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 3>you do things you both actually really enjoy, like.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>What I don't know, go act throwing.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I just think like when things that are meant to

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 3>be really sweet become regimented and also points of contention,

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 3>swap it out. Like I think the idea of compromising

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 3>and setting a boundary is cool for things that are

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 3>big and matter. But you're wasting all your relationship fuel

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 3>on something that's so inconsequential. If you can't agree on

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 3>a show, eat talk and go do your fun activity

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I really want to do together, as opposed to being like, well,

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 3>he's depression show. I don't want to watch it. I

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>want to like, I get it because I love it.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 3>But it's do you am I Are we hearing the

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.559
<v Speaker 3>same thing? Yeah, it sounds insane. Just don't watch shows

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 3>on date night. You have six other days of the

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 3>week to watch a show, do a different data activity.

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I will say, there's nothing better than the feeling of

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>tucking in with your favorite show.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which gets ruined because your boyfriend and he wants

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 3>to watch his depression show and you think he's weaponizing

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 3>his mental health.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So you can't watch your show, the depression show.

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, that's what the says.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>You're in flexing fromes on cater. We need to learn

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>as a community, as a satire, hey, how to correctly

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>flirt on messages?

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay generally, but of course virtually.

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you are a communicative queen and we could learn

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>a thing or two. However, I'm getting some mixed messages

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>when I'm messaging a man. Okay, sometimes I'm not sure

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>are you being friendly?

0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 3>There was just an instance deniability at work.

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 1>A good looking man comes through. Is there some id

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>eye action? Or am I in my bag? What he

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>needs to do? Send me a follow up messaging? Yeah,

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>but that's not happening anyway. I'm going to tell you

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 1>how to flirt through instant messaging.

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Number one, messaging as opposed to why, Hey, I have

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 3>had relationships over email, two of them, all right, so

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 3>be careful you're speaking of for real.

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Both ended numbers naturally. Jordan in the Shoes asking why.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 1>One of them was during lockdown, and I don't know

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>how he got onto emailing, but it was really cute.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>And then the other one he was overseas. I'm not

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sure why we do email again, it was quite romantic.

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm a word stress. Okay, Oh yeah you are. I'm

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a word stress, So it makes sense. Number one, start

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the conversation casually. There's no reason to be nervous when

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>it comes to instant messaging flirting. If the person you

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.239
<v Speaker 1>want to talk she doesn't want to talk to you,

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>They've got the option of simply not responding to your message.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean fair.

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>But also if you barely know someone, it can be

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a good idea to have an excuse to start the conversation. Eg. Hey,

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw a dog on your story. What's its name?

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>My old housemate did that that. They're now in a

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 1>three year relationship, live in rural Victoria, guys, So dogs

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>are really great in.

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So it's like one of those don't knock into

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>your try it things.

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So don't dwell on the small took or so,

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.559
<v Speaker 1>like a miner or two is good to break the ice.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>A minute in text seeing could be days.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, Number three joke, I'll let you do what

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you want.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>More one line.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Item number four tease playfully. Now this is where I

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>draw the line. I'm not into teasing. I'm teased often

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to work. Some would say it's bordering on workplace billing,

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 1>but as you know, I don't believe in HR, so

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll be dealing with that internally in my single. You

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 1>gotta be reasonable about teasing. Perhaps no teasing on the

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>body front, or perhaps the intellect front.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 3>I'd say no teasing, but a general air of playfulness

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 3>is better than the alternative.

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. For example, here's one let's say a band that

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>she or he likes. You could say those guys are

0:06:55.480 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing but poses and their fans are the worst. They said,

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 1>use cheeky emoticons, which I'm a massive fan of. I

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>like the two eyes with the lip in the middle.

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And then if you're getting a good response, heat things

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 3>What you see the first texting interaction?

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Are we eating things up? Okay? Sorry? And they've given

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>us one example, and it's a person messaging Drake, not

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the singer, just someone else called Drake.

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Period.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>They said, what band do you like? They reply? I

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>like Coldplay? Someone said mine too. What's your favorite song?

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Mind's fix You? They reply, my girlfriend? My girlfriend?

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 2>That is that?

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you see what that is?

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 3>That's a warning sign right there. That is a subliminal message.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>You know. They've got a song called warning Sign, cor Play.

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 3>And fix You and Yellow and I will try to

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 3>fix you.

<v Speaker 1>Don't get out. I don't have time, they replied, my

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend really likes that song. Although my personal favorite Strawberry Swing,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to which you say, hey, I gotta run talk to

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you later. Once you hit me with a girlfriend, I've

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>gotta get out. Guys, flex and rooms, I'm kaita FLEXI.

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I have an issue. It's quite a pressing issue, personal issue,

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>if you will, in my messages. Why has every started

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>communicating with me in voice notes? I've seen an upwards

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>trend of people sending me minutes long voice notes, and

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I have some rules and regulations I don't want to

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>put in place.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 3>You have a voice notes vibe, so it surprises me

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>that this offends you.

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>You also have a gift vibe.

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, babes, I'm sending gifts, okay, set.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Cut from the same cloth. See, I would never send

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 3>a gift, but I was sent a voice.

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Note last night. I sent that you get a car,

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You get a car to a friend.

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Millennial.

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what. I think we need to bring

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>back the millennial. Okay, it's coming back around. It's going

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to be cool soon. So I'm staying in my lane.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, product cycle.

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm sick of pretending that I was born in ninety

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>ninety six. Guys, I'm firmly on the cast. I say

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>this sort of say voice notes. I'm off them. I've

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 1>had enough unless you're sending me a detailed description as

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>soon as you wake up of the dream that I

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>was in where I was acting cool, hot, sexy and

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>also fun. Leave it all right? Are you serious?

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>People are out here and only just discover this. People

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>are sending me like three one and a half minute

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>voice notes I'm going through. I'm like, oh, I have

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to remember this point, at this point, in this point. Okay, yep, yeah,

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I got it. Okay, I go to reply, oh, call,

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I have to listen to it again. I didn't realize

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that you can actually scrub through it. I didn't so

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I would say, oh, start again. Yep, we're into the

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.479
<v Speaker 1>one minute mark. Also, you can't go out of the messages.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm sick of it. Guys, unless you have

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a textual relationship where that's the only way that you

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>communicate what's textual textual? On the text? When am I

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>ever able to you know? You're sending me like, how

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>do I say sensitive information? I open up a text

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>at CATA that says flexus a bush pig. What do

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I do? Now? We both implicated.

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>We don't know.

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, May I please take the floor

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 3>allow me. I think what voice memoing is doing is

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 3>it's introducing intimacy back into phone based relationships. Texting, emojiing,

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 3>giffing is so one dimensional, lacks nuance and context. And yes,

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 3>if I know you well enough, I can kind of

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 3>chuck it in myself. But the moment that I get

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 3>a look sonic in my ear, I'm like, I'm really

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 3>in it. I'm here mixed medium messaging, emmm, not just imagery,

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 3>bring back voice notes. I think it's really beautiful, intimate.

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's what you're scared of, really being vulnerable.

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Listen, if you're going to send me a voice note,

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>send me the emoji talking, make it three day. You

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>know you can do that.

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you want even some context like, oh my goodness,

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I just had the craziest experience.

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And then the voice note is that anyone.

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I just had the craziest experience about you?

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>For me allowed me to take a peek into her

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 3>group chat today, which is an honor that I appreciate.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's not something that.

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>You can do lightly, and I respect that, and I

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 3>also I'm so grateful for that opportunity to be invited

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 3>into your life in that way. Now, what I saw

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 3>potentially scarred me in the moment, but I've soon recovered

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>what was it for him?

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>So our group chat is called brox angels because my

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>friends and I were once taught surfing by a mutual

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>man friend called Brock.

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Amazing.

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Shout out Brock. My friend Michelle has sent a foe.

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>It is a flyer that was sent into her letterbox.

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>She lives in Bondai Beach, a physical letterbox.

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:06.959
<v Speaker 2>Mind, you're not an inbox.

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>No no. It is a poster with a man and a woman.

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>A woman wearing a triangle bikini, TVT neon neo and

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the man in a pair of short blue boxes with

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a ripped physeeke. They are holding hands.

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Walking off into the sunset or something.

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes with palm tree appliques. It says find fit, Love

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>presents fitness speed dating. It goes on go on ten

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.479
<v Speaker 1>mini dates with the opposite sex on the beach, flirt chats.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 3>On opposite sex. They said heteros only. Don't play with that.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Don't play with anything else.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>You too, queer baiting, get out, flirt chat and work

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>out in nature not online. A night of meeting fit,

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>eager and love thirsty singles who share the same passion

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>as you with a QR code. And it's on the

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>eighteenth of May twenty twenty three.

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It's giving high intensity into the training they do meet

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 2>like the Babes people.

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 1>There's quite a lot of sexual energy in the gym.

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Believe I'm not. I believe yeah, Yeah, you got it

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:03.719
<v Speaker 1>the gym, yeah more than I do.

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I believe you.

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>So apparently the cost is fifty dollars and eighty eight cents,

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>which we think in the group chat is a scam.

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>You have to be thirty. What are you paying for?

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Man, you got to be thirty three

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to foury five years old and it starts at seven pm.

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>So my thinking is that.

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 2>PM, I should It's not even downlight. Same with you,

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>it's to be pitch black.

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:26.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking I should go down there. Don't qualify, no,

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>but yeah go as a punter, to go watch oh

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>observational observational like when you're in thirteen hundreds and your

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>best friend buys your front road tickets to the.

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Town Center Vibe. I think you should go. This concept

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 3>is really interesting. It really pains me, and I'm so

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 3>sure my ancestors and their ancestors would hate to know

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 3>that this these lengths we've got to go through to

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 3>find love back in the good old days, just pick

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 3>the local baker.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he's.

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Fine, and if not, the fisherman's chill too, you know.

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 3>If not, like, I'm sure your brother knows who can

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 3>sort it out.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>To go back to that.

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because this is inane.

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 3>You're telling me, in order to find someone I'm romantically

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 3>compatible with, gotta put on spandex and lycra pay you fifty,

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 3>pay a stranger fifty dollars and eighty eight cents to

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 3>go talk to ten people of the opposite sex while

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm sweating and huffing and puffing.

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Absurd dystopian. I love it. See there.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like when we were on dating apps and they

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>say looking for someone who's fit, and you say, just

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>say no fatties.

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just say what you mean.

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to flex and frooms on Kaita.

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you've kept your finger on the pulse,

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 3>your eye to the streets, but we're seeing a lot

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 3>of denim maxi skirts.

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Not a trend that.

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 3>Has happened in my lifetime when I've been able to

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 3>invest in fashion. But I jumped on quick enough because

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 3>what can I say, like a bit of deadim like

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 3>long hem lime. I saw this TikTok video of this

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 3>chick recording the streets of New York and being like,

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 3>how they all dressed the same way. In the comments,

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 3>We're like, oh, I think they're like amish.

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 2>No, they're not armied.

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 3>She's just literally trained. So I kept scrolling and somebody said,

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 3>isn't this just a sign we're going into a recession?

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking, is that a gager to understand? Then? I thought,

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.439
<v Speaker 3>same as a lipstick index, the hem line index. It's

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 3>the theory that suggests the skirt length, so your hem

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 3>lines get longer when the economy is in strife. Now

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 3>they haven't announced a recession. Okay, the RBA cash rates

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 3>going up, so it currently mean one thing.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>But to that point, is it really that subconscious?

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 3>Like do I really feel like covering up my body

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 3>when money is tight? Do I really feel like showing

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 3>more bosom and chess and stomach and leg when money

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 3>is flowing? I'm not sure, But I would like to

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 3>do a grash in another life, all right, not this one.

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not interested in data. I want to read it,

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to make it.

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I can see that like in the sixties is swinging sixties,

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's kind of like a time of prosperity and
