Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast. Happy Friday, we guys.
Speaker 2: I went to a club that day and a guy
Speaker 2: transferred me ten dollars to punch him in the face.
Speaker 1: I don't think, what are you doing in a club?
Speaker 1: You're geriatric? And I said, how old are you?
Speaker 3: I keep se twenty four, you're twenty seven, but are
Speaker 3: you twenty eight yet?
Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight. Damn.
Speaker 2: I was born on the third or the third, nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety five, imagine third of the third, two thousand.
Speaker 3: I've been saying, I think she's twenty seven, but truly asking.
Speaker 1: People are always.
Speaker 2: Asking in a like an interested way, I think.
Speaker 1: Because they ask me how old I am? Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: giving thirty five class.
Speaker 3: No, all due respect, No you wish that's the thing.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: The thing that people are saying is I'm quite ageless.
Speaker 3: Like if you said I was thirty five, it would
Speaker 3: make sense. He said I was twenty five, it would
Speaker 3: make sense. But people are said, no, this is what's
Speaker 3: coming up. People say that it's my personality, not my
Speaker 3: personal it's my the what I speak about, my interests
Speaker 3: that age me out.
Speaker 2: Also, not a dumb, bitchy age out. Get that language
Speaker 2: out of your mouth, age me out.
Speaker 3: I believe that. Okay, I wanted to who are like?
Speaker 3: I want to be timeless forever. I'm gonna stick to
Speaker 3: conventional milestones of living. I'm only unconventional in the way
Speaker 3: that I want to achieve these milestones. I want to
Speaker 3: be a forty five year old husband. I don't want
Speaker 3: to try and be like up to date with everything.
Speaker 3: It's too hard and also you, I don't want to
Speaker 3: be at odds with my current reality.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a good one.
Speaker 2: What's it called cognitive dissonance?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I just want to flow with the way that
Speaker 3: it is. But I feel like twenty nine suits me.
Speaker 3: I think it's quite accurate for like where I'm at,
Speaker 3: definitely as opposed to being twenty one and being like
Speaker 3: everybody thinks that I could be twenty five because I'm
Speaker 3: so much O oh, my friends are twenty five because
Speaker 3: I'm semucha how's.
Speaker 2: It go now, boy, flexing friends, let's get it.
Speaker 1: This is flex and rooms kit.
Speaker 3: I just want to know does Big sun Screen want
Speaker 3: us all to get cancer? Because I don't know if
Speaker 3: there's any kind of product that should be so straightforward,
Speaker 3: so cut and dry. That is the most confusing. Ever,
Speaker 3: recently I found out from Instagram, so doing my own
Speaker 3: research or big sunscreen didn't come to me that I've
Speaker 3: been applying my sunscreen wrong. Now, someone who has gone
Speaker 3: on record to give sunscreen application tips, this is very
Speaker 3: confusing to me. The tip that I've been using thus
Speaker 3: far is about the quantity of sunscreen you need to use.
Speaker 3: People of stress that on your face, you need to
Speaker 3: use two fingers worth of sunscreen, So literally squeeze sunscreen
Speaker 3: onto one finger, onto another finger, and then apply that
Speaker 3: onto your face. Yes, and then you still need to reapply,
Speaker 3: which I'm never doing. I'm not outside for that long.
Speaker 3: Then I came across this video from lab muffin Beauty
Speaker 3: Science Okay that said this, I.
Speaker 4: See people doing this a lot, rubbing in their sunscreen
Speaker 4: too much, which this actually lowest protection because you start
Speaker 4: to mess up the layer. You make the sunscreen go
Speaker 4: into the furs of your face and into your hands
Speaker 4: and you start removing sunscreen from your skin. This study
Speaker 4: found that rubbing instead of gentle application can drop the
Speaker 4: SPF by up to a quarter. So apply it gently,
Speaker 4: rub as little as you can. If you leave it,
Speaker 4: the white cast usually settles down a bit. If you
Speaker 4: can't get the white cast to go away without lots
Speaker 4: of rubbing, you should probably switch to a different sunscreen.
Speaker 3: What did hear this? Let me just reiterate for those
Speaker 3: who might have zoned out, Yes, present, if you rub
Speaker 3: in your sunscreen too much, which what is that? From
Speaker 3: what I saw in the video, it's how everybody applies sunscreen.
Speaker 3: You apply it until that kind of white cast is gone,
Speaker 3: and it's almost like emulsified into your skin. Right, That's
Speaker 3: how we usually do it. But this person is saying,
Speaker 3: if you apply it too much, you can reduce the
Speaker 3: efficacy of the SPF by twenty five percent, which means
Speaker 3: you're SPF fifty is now SPF thirty seven point five.
Speaker 2: Nory Noorri, it's not good.
Speaker 3: That's not good at all. Then this idea I've known
Speaker 3: for a long time. There's been this kind of conspiracy
Speaker 3: about this white cast in sunscreen. People usually say that's
Speaker 3: an indicator. It's like, you know, not the right fit,
Speaker 3: or you're not meant to be you're not meant to
Speaker 3: see the sunscreen when you put it on. But now
Speaker 3: this person is saying the sunscreen is kind of meant
Speaker 3: to sit on your face in an intact layer, almost
Speaker 3: like icing a cake, Like you're meant to want to
Speaker 3: put it on evenly and then let it absorb.
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: It makes so much sense.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I do on my body when
Speaker 2: I'm at the beach or you know, I'll do it
Speaker 2: like if I'm going rollerblating, or if I'm going to
Speaker 2: the beach and I don't have to put makeup, like
Speaker 2: I only rub it in when I'm like using my
Speaker 2: mecha sunscreen goaded and then have to put makeup over
Speaker 2: the top. Then I'll real get it in the crevices ineffective. Yeah, damn.
Speaker 2: This is really important.
Speaker 3: So when it comes to applying your sunscreen, think of
Speaker 3: it as icing on a cake. Spread it evenly, let
Speaker 3: it set. Good luck.
Speaker 5: If you can't get the w cast away without rubbing intensely,
Speaker 5: as lab muff and beauty scientists said, you might need
Speaker 5: a new sunscreen.
Speaker 2: Often we do get a fantastic voice note from the community,
Speaker 2: and today is like no other. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: preface anything, but this is something specifically for you. Flex
Speaker 2: Mummy aka Leli Nhankan Mickey play the tape.
Speaker 6: Hey, So I just thought i'd send a message in
Speaker 6: because I am finding it really funny that y'all are
Speaker 6: talking about cults so much recently because I was actually
Speaker 6: in a cult for two years and it was Flex's
Speaker 6: podcast with Bobo that pulled me out of that cult
Speaker 6: by helping me think about things more logically and question
Speaker 6: my beliefs. So shout out to Flex for that, and yeah,
Speaker 6: I guess just to follow up about my journey since then.
Speaker 6: I left at the end of last year, and it's
Speaker 6: so weird leaving a cult because I'm having to basically
Speaker 6: unravel my mind and all the beliefs that were inserted
Speaker 6: into my brain for the last two years and having
Speaker 6: moments where I both laugh at the things that I
Speaker 6: was taught but also wonder if they're actually Legit is
Speaker 6: so surreal and sometimes really confusing.
Speaker 5: So that's my life right now. What the heck it is?
Speaker 5: I thought you meant, bobone Flex was the cult, not
Speaker 5: do you know what?
Speaker 1: Okay, you didn't hear Okay.
Speaker 3: So basically, we had this listener who said that they
Speaker 3: were in a cult for two years and the only
Speaker 3: reason why they left the cult is they listened to
Speaker 3: my old podcast that I had about philosophy and psychology
Speaker 3: and critical thinking, unpacking ideas, and through listening applying that
Speaker 3: to her life, she realizes in a cult and left.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what the break was called. Flex Saved a life.
Speaker 3: Do you know what's so funny? When I was doing
Speaker 3: that podcast at the time, the reason why I stopped,
Speaker 3: one of the top three reasons was I was like,
Speaker 3: this is futile. I'm gonna come on this podcast. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say the same things again and again, make the
Speaker 3: same point, and it's not gonna reach anyone, and it's
Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna be so tiresome. Come to find out,
Speaker 3: the work has been done about you.
Speaker 7: Eight.
Speaker 2: You deserved some sort of aom for that. Literally, Am
Speaker 2: Order of Australia Midle, I'm gonna need that voice memo.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need that MP three. The testimonials, This is
Speaker 2: something special. I've never heard a testimonial that important for
Speaker 2: somebody's life path.
Speaker 1: Truly, you Flex.
Speaker 2: Mummy pulled someone out of an actual cult and they're
Speaker 2: still unraveling their minds thanks to Flex.
Speaker 3: That is cooked and that's why people the price continues
Speaker 3: to go up.
Speaker 2: Everyone I bit the bullet, I'm going to New York, said, hey,
Speaker 2: that is insane.
Speaker 3: And why am I hearing this for the first time
Speaker 3: with everybody else babies?
Speaker 2: Because I booked my flight yesterday and we don't text.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was ant be excited because now, like, what
Speaker 3: is this?
Speaker 2: No, because I was waiting to like, I haven't told anyone.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, great, I feel better about it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Like, well, I didn't tell you because I didn't
Speaker 2: tell anyone until after I did it.
Speaker 3: That's very hot and sexy and kind of a bit
Speaker 3: of a worrisome thing for you. Because if there's one
Speaker 3: thing about miss Freebiana, she's definitely going to seek feedback
Speaker 3: from I'm going to say upward to ten people before
Speaker 3: making decisions.
Speaker 1: So what is this about?
Speaker 2: I just love to chat? Okay. So I've got two
Speaker 2: friends from home who live in New York. They both
Speaker 2: have spare bedrooms, and I'm going to stay with them.
Speaker 1: We've got spare bedrooms in New York.
Speaker 2: I don't know babies literally anyway, So my concurrently, my
Speaker 2: bestie Eliza, is actually going over there anyway for a
Speaker 2: month and a few months ago, I was like to her,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're in New York, Like I really
Speaker 2: wanted to go in September. I'm like, can I come.
Speaker 2: She's like, oh, like ooh nah, Like I kind of
Speaker 2: just want to have a bit of time alone fair
Speaker 2: And I was like a cut in that moment. We
Speaker 2: had been away together in the Northern Highlands and it
Speaker 2: really and she was like, I'm feeling isolated this year.
Speaker 2: But I took it on the gin. And then she
Speaker 2: was over the other day We're doing a WFH day
Speaker 2: together at my house and she's like, oh, like, why
Speaker 2: don't you come to New York And I crossed my hands.
Speaker 2: I said you told me no, and she said not
Speaker 2: with me.
Speaker 1: Generally.
Speaker 2: But then I was like, oh whatever, I'll just look
Speaker 2: at flights, look at flights. Why within five minutes have
Speaker 2: I booked a flight or United return return flight Babe,
Speaker 2: fifteenth of September to the twenty fifth September. So I
Speaker 2: love a cheeky little ten day ten dayer to the
Speaker 2: New York girlies listening, Thank you so much for your work.
Speaker 2: If you see me in New York, please direct me
Speaker 2: to the best place to see comedy and eat food,
Speaker 2: because I have zero plans. I was thinking like should
Speaker 2: I do a question box on Instagram? Being like, can
Speaker 2: I have your tips? But also I don't want to
Speaker 2: feel like I'm missing out on and you think, so
Speaker 2: maybe I'll just go what do you reckon?
Speaker 3: I would avoid the question box thing because realistically, the
Speaker 3: best recommendations come from people who know you quite well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so you can gauge whether or not it's a
Speaker 3: recommendation you want.
Speaker 6: Do.
Speaker 3: The thing that I did suss out some people who
Speaker 3: look interesting in New York. DM them you're a blue ticker,
Speaker 3: say I'm coming like people that you like, mutual friends
Speaker 3: or people that you're a fan of. Do you have
Speaker 3: them reach out and be like where should I go?
Speaker 3: Ask them?
Speaker 2: My friend Johnny actually said to me, you know, you
Speaker 2: got those friends that just link you so well with
Speaker 2: other people. He's like, you would really like this comedian
Speaker 2: of that won't say a name because I don't know
Speaker 2: if we can link.
Speaker 1: But like very cool stuff like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, so maybe I put on my story.
Speaker 2: Does anybody want to hang?
Speaker 1: No? I just don't understand how you and meeting up.
Speaker 2: With one of my penpals from many years I love that,
Speaker 2: so it's amazing. It's going to be really fun. I'm
Speaker 2: excited that broad brief.
Speaker 1: Does anyone want to head my I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like if you follow me and you live
Speaker 2: in New York, like the common name denominator, is that
Speaker 2: you're cool. Nope. I just want to pull it out
Speaker 2: and got to see it's a big city. Just want
Speaker 2: to get a few bites, a bit of a don't
Speaker 2: mean hit.
Speaker 3: You know, anyway, when you make your first post in
Speaker 3: New York, the right people will reach out.
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right. The things I want to definitely
Speaker 2: do is go shopping for secondhand fines and go and
Speaker 2: watch comedy every night.
Speaker 1: Stunning.
Speaker 2: And the good thing about Eliza being there and staying
Speaker 2: with my friends is they all have jobs.
Speaker 1: So she's also staying in the spare bedrooms that you know.
Speaker 2: No, no, she's in other mates. So I've got through
Speaker 2: run or whatever on but also not get lonely psychonic
Speaker 2: frou meno through me boo, mummy, let's mom, you're listening

Speaker 2: and the City devolved into a.
Speaker 1: Four you're getting off Sex and the City.

Speaker 2: punched someone redacted? So I'm like, he already prepared.
Speaker 1: I have it in me.
Speaker 2: I have a fight.
Speaker 1: You're a beast, I can tell.
Speaker 2: And his eyes were like bulging, like I don't know
Speaker 2: what he was on or what he was doing, but
Speaker 2: he was like looking at me so intently. It's like,
Speaker 2: punch me, punch me.
Speaker 1: Was he tense?
Speaker 2: Tense like like preparing for like trying to push a
Speaker 2: poo out, tense like eyes bulging?

Speaker 3: request for the extra one fifty.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Dad mail frooms in a brawl.
Speaker 5: In a brawl, fifteen punches were calculated.
Speaker 1: To be thrown. So anyway, I'm like you to not
Speaker 1: commit to the bit.

Speaker 2: So you get it from every angle. Anyways, I don't
Speaker 2: know did they end up getting kicked out. I didn't
Speaker 2: see them doing it to any other chicks. I just
Speaker 2: must have seen a crazy look in my eyes and
Speaker 2: thought this is a good tugger.

Speaker 2: Oh and I used it to buy some gusmand and
Speaker 2: Gomez the next night.

Speaker 2: have recently created here in the CA Diverse. It is
Speaker 2: by the brain of Mickey, and it is guess the
Speaker 2: song Me and Flexy go head to head. We let
Speaker 2: out a bit of primordial steam and irritation that we
Speaker 2: have towards each other, and then a game format.
