Speaker 1: The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast.
Speaker 2: Let's keep this one short and sweet, so we don't
Speaker 2: have a sixteen minute intro like we usually do. Yes,
Speaker 2: few things we want to touch on. When I was
Speaker 2: opening up my mirrored cabinet today, I hit my knuckle
Speaker 2: and broke the skin. I thought to myself, how fragile
Speaker 2: are humans?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Like back in the day the cavemen were fighting lions
Speaker 2: and I'm here getting injured by a bathroom mirror. And
Speaker 2: the reason why I'm saying this is because it's plaguing
Speaker 2: my mind. It's at the front side of my mind.
Speaker 2: I should be better than that.
Speaker 3: Young people are gone soft Vault online. Please confirm Flex
Speaker 3: is too soft? Where's Steve past him?
Speaker 1: Literally?
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to it Flex and we have
Speaker 2: got some listener dms. This one is very hefty. It
Speaker 2: scrolls over two pages in my Instagram dms and not
Speaker 2: a lot of paragraphic and usually I would skip these ones,
Speaker 2: but they led with I'm currently listening to the show,
Speaker 2: and I said, okay, well, this is a friend and
Speaker 2: a fan, so let's do them. Let's do them a solid.
Speaker 2: Please put on your comprehension hats. I'm gonna need those
Speaker 2: on the whole time. I'm firmly on listening is open?
Speaker 3: Can you give me a name? What for?
Speaker 1: I just want to paint a picture Live Actually yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a sister called Live. Will say, okay, well
Speaker 1: say it? Did I? Okay? Listen?
Speaker 2: Hey, Flex, I hope you and Frooms are well. You know,
Speaker 2: I do wonder if people know that you can send
Speaker 2: dms to both of us at the same time.
Speaker 1: Create a little group.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we haven't a single one.
Speaker 2: Cause I'm constantly getting messages. I know Foms won't open
Speaker 2: her DM, so I'm sending.
Speaker 1: It to you. Okay, sorry, what am I your secretary?
Speaker 1: I agree?
Speaker 3: So I wonder someone knows people will send me one.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, are they sending it to flex through?
Speaker 3: Because then we bring our breaks in at the start
Speaker 3: of the week. I don't want to do a double up.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 3: Obviously they've got favorites.
Speaker 2: Can I Dear Mike, thank you so much. I'm currently
Speaker 2: listening to your podcast that touches based on blocking people
Speaker 2: who encroach on our personal comfort. I wanted to ask
Speaker 2: what your opinions are on simply unfollowing or unfriending old
Speaker 2: friends who you've had a big fallout with. I've had
Speaker 2: so many discussions with people about friends who they've had awkward,
Speaker 2: confronting or super uncomfortable cross the line fallouts with, who
Speaker 2: continue to follow said friends, only to quickly skip over
Speaker 2: their media posts and updates every time. I find that
Speaker 2: it's not uncommon in these instances when I ask you
Speaker 2: why you wouldn't just unfollow or unfriend that person, and
Speaker 2: they'll use usually answer defensively, be like I can't do that,
Speaker 2: Why would I do that?
Speaker 1: That's like so rude or whatever.
Speaker 2: I just want to hear what your thoughts are on
Speaker 2: keeping people you've cut ties with in your social personal
Speaker 2: space and social media circles if you don't want to
Speaker 2: see any updates from them or maintain any kind of
Speaker 2: relationship personally, I believe that letting people you've had a
Speaker 2: big fallout with create an unhappy and uncomfortable space on
Speaker 2: your personal platform is not the go What do you reckon?
Speaker 3: Look right now, I'm a little bit distracted by your
Speaker 3: t shirts to a leaper. Oh just suddenly, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: was just thinking, you know, when Kim Kardashian died her
Speaker 3: hair blonde, Yes, she kind of look like do a leaper?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I guess I see that.
Speaker 3: Aren't they both Armenian?
Speaker 2: No? Julia was Albanian? Albanian? Yeah, yeah, I mean you
Speaker 2: said that.
Speaker 1: No, I said, aren't they both?
Speaker 2: I could have said anything tall you know what I mean? Entrepreneurs, girl,
Speaker 2: set up? Every time you fall right into it?
Speaker 3: Oh my god? What can I say? I am who
Speaker 3: I am? No room for improvement?
Speaker 1: You can't say that. We've talked about this.
Speaker 2: What You've got to speak with intention? You said you
Speaker 2: have no room for improvement. You can't say that because
Speaker 2: I'm perfect.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I really meant that that time. So guys,
Speaker 3: I'm manifesting right all right, all right enough. I was
Speaker 3: at a party. I know about other stuff. I will
Speaker 3: say I was at a party that I wearing all grain.
Speaker 3: Someone said, you gotta do a Shrek impression? Obviously, Nail,
Speaker 3: do you want to do one?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: Llo?
Speaker 4: Allo girl, I'm looking at your T shirts on. It's
Speaker 4: the leaper. She's got a little bit of lightning going
Speaker 4: behind the bark.
Speaker 1: You sound like that UFC fighter Patty. Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know that Tic took of him jumping up and down,
Speaker 3: and it was like, why am I so attracted to this?
Speaker 1: Because he's hot.
Speaker 4: This is hot?
Speaker 3: Okay, what do I think I am voting? When she said,
Speaker 3: what does she mean by media posts?
Speaker 2: The social media posts like you know, like skipping past
Speaker 2: their stories, their snapchats, their whatever. Because I guess what
Speaker 2: she's explaining is that, like, let's say, have had a
Speaker 2: falling out with someone and I'm not going to watch
Speaker 2: their story because we've had a falling out. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna like their posts. We've had a falling out. She's like,
Speaker 2: just unfollow them, block them.
Speaker 3: You're not coming back from unfollow That's Nothing's more awkward
Speaker 3: than having to follow someone again what I would do?
Speaker 3: Of course, he's used the mute button. And then when
Speaker 3: you're having a bad time at night, going through a
Speaker 3: bit of self loathing, go and look at their profile
Speaker 3: and hurt yourself. Gotta keep them there so you don't do.
Speaker 1: The unfollowed Nah.
Speaker 4: Oh nah, that was.
Speaker 1: A lot of effort just muting.
Speaker 2: But to be fair, I get the point that she's
Speaker 2: making because it's there's nothing worse than you creating a
Speaker 2: happy home for someone who's an unwelcome visitor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3: Actually is better than a bad tenant.
Speaker 1: This is exactly.
Speaker 2: It not in the current rental crisis, speak for yourself,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't actually make any sense emotionally, mentally, spiritually
Speaker 2: to be hanging onto that energy because you're concerned about
Speaker 2: the optics if the falling out has a curb snip
Speaker 2: the ties. I used to be the kind of person
Speaker 2: who wasn't into blocking, wasn't into atomic blocking.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, that, like that's like not mature.
Speaker 2: But then I realized it was my immaturity who was like, no,
Speaker 2: they need to see me flex on them in a
Speaker 2: very loud way. They need the subtweets to reach them.
Speaker 2: How my subweet is going to reach them if they've
Speaker 2: blocked you know. But I'm a big fan of the
Speaker 2: atomic block because the mental space you got to free
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 3: Ah Louis, who works a cater, said this thing about
Speaker 3: soft block, and I think that's a really good word
Speaker 3: as well. It's a soft block one platform muting.
Speaker 1: Oh a mute is a soft block.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, it's a personal block.
Speaker 2: I think we need to start getting specific with our
Speaker 2: interpersonal interactions because what we think is nuance is just
Speaker 2: like avoidant apathy and ambiguity. This like undefined space where
Speaker 2: nothing is or nothing can be perceived as anything but
Speaker 2: all this other stuff. No pick aside, block someone, let
Speaker 2: them know how they made you feel, because at the
Speaker 2: very least you get closer to reconciliation. Remember one time
Speaker 2: I downloaded an unfollowed app because I was trying to
Speaker 2: clear out my feed because it was the time where
Speaker 2: the Instagram algorithm changed and you weren't seeing your friend's post.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, I need to start being
Speaker 2: a bit more specific with who I'm following so I
Speaker 2: can interact with my friends. So I downloaded this unfollowed
Speaker 2: app and essentially you get to pick who you want
Speaker 2: to unfollow, and it's like accounts who's not engaged with
Speaker 2: me in the last thirty days, accounts I haven't engaged
Speaker 2: with in the last thirty days anyway. World War III.
Speaker 2: People weren't coming up to me and saying why did
Speaker 2: you unblock me? But they were going to my friends
Speaker 2: and being like, hey, like, does FLEX have a problem
Speaker 2: with me? Why does she unfollow me? And now look
Speaker 2: like a liar because I forgot I had done this
Speaker 2: and I didn't know what accounts are being unfollowed. I
Speaker 2: was like, they all got to go. You know it
Speaker 2: wasn't personal. It was personal to a lot.
Speaker 3: Of people followed me to feel very intentional, right.
Speaker 2: And I was like, it wasn't even like that because
Speaker 2: I was happy to go back and with a refollow,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't given the good vibe. So you know,
Speaker 2: be prepared for what that unfollow means. Can't go back,
Speaker 2: You can, but the damage is done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, flex and frums.
Speaker 2: Today we're getting hot and heavy on the listener messages
Speaker 2: dms whatever, all the evidence is here. Like I see
Speaker 2: Plice show, I'm always very intrigued in people message me
Speaker 2: for the first time on Instagram when they've been following
Speaker 2: me for a long time, because my platform is mostly
Speaker 2: about two way communications. Sometimes I scream, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. But if you if you're a longtime follower,
Speaker 2: I'm always like, what implored you? What gave me the
Speaker 2: conviction to message this time?
Speaker 3: Nothing is better than that.
Speaker 1: I get met with three voice notes.
Speaker 2: This person says, I've never before in my life sent
Speaker 2: a voice note on Instagram, and I feel that this
Speaker 2: was not the chat to practice in.
Speaker 1: But oh my god, dot dot dot dot dot dot
Speaker 1: dot they want us to wait on something. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. We'll we'll find out together.
Speaker 5: Lex oh and maybe fause he my name is Tony
Speaker 5: and I just would please need you guys to wait
Speaker 5: in on this. So actually no, say, well, just a
Speaker 5: warning heads up. I will probably not be presenting this
Speaker 5: in a new tool and by this way. But that
Speaker 5: feels like my parent. So my question is, if you're
Speaker 5: born on Olympia and your birthday happens to fall on
Speaker 5: between ninth of February, do you, a like on all
Speaker 5: the other non leper years, celebrate your birthday on the
Speaker 5: twenty eighth of February or b on the first of March,
Speaker 5: because like my friend thinks that it should be the
Speaker 5: twenty eighth because it keeps it in February. But surely
Speaker 5: the only correct answer is B. Because first of all,
Speaker 5: you are because I was looking at the time and
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my gosh, gonna run out of
Speaker 5: time here.
Speaker 3: Oh now I actually will.
Speaker 4: This is this is a journey one of us.
Speaker 5: That is actually so embarrassing. I did not mean to
Speaker 5: say that so early. So you just keep going, You're
Speaker 5: all good. So because okay.
Speaker 2: So was.
Speaker 1: Flex the past.
Speaker 2: You just never get to the white So absolutely, okay, wait,
Speaker 2: so you know how she's one of yours for me?
Speaker 5: Yeah, ringa and composure hopefully, I think. But I was
Speaker 5: saying because like, surely the only correct answer is b
Speaker 5: first of March, because one, your birthday is literally the
Speaker 5: day after the twenty eighth of February, and two, if
Speaker 5: it was actually a leap yeah, that day like labels
Speaker 5: a side would be your birthday, Like, please affirm me,
Speaker 5: tell me I'm right, because I'm genuinely anyway, I'm just
Speaker 5: gonna leave because I am genuine my nervous thing many times,
Speaker 5: So goodbye.
Speaker 1: I hope you're.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Tony. That's the best word we've ever
Speaker 2: gotten in.
Speaker 3: Our lives, Tony, I was on the ride.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's do a show of hands.
Speaker 2: No, it's radio, so we're gonna need a allowed yes.
Speaker 2: So if it's yes, oh ah, So if you believe
Speaker 2: that a leapy baby should celebrate their birthday on the
Speaker 2: twenty eighth or the thirty first.
Speaker 3: Wait, there is no thirty one of them? Yeah what
Speaker 3: did you even go to school?
Speaker 2: Okay, who agrees you sell about your birthday on the
Speaker 2: twenty eighth if you're a leapier baby, wi yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: in theory, the twenty eighth makes a lot of sense
Speaker 2: because it's still in February.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody's nen get too fast.
Speaker 2: It's like it's your birthday's coming up, and if you're
Speaker 2: going out at night, probably gonna crack over into what
Speaker 2: would have been your birthday. However, you weren't born, You
Speaker 2: won't even you didn't even exist yet in the human realm.
Speaker 2: You hadn't touched oxygen like that until the twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: So it has to be the first.
Speaker 4: How does the baby not breathe in the tummy?
Speaker 1: Not does? But it's scott gills?
Speaker 3: Are you serious?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, But it doesn't come out with gills?
Speaker 1: Yeah it does.
Speaker 4: Where's the baby's gills?
Speaker 1: Okay? See this is how you I know.
Speaker 3: I need to Okay, hold on a bloody second. Marty
Speaker 3: in the studio has a baby?
Speaker 4: Does it have gills? Baby has never had gills?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 3: So, how does the baby breathe in the tummy bilical cord?
Speaker 1: Babe?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 4: It has a mouth, bro, How is it not drowning
Speaker 4: in the fluid?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we take its first breath, Bro, that must
Speaker 3: be a rush.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first real high Okay, So the only correct
Speaker 2: answer is the first. However, I won't fight someone if
Speaker 2: they want to do the twenty eighth. It really depends
Speaker 2: on what you're how you're celebrating, and what day it
Speaker 2: falls on me. If you're smart, you do the whole
Speaker 2: weekend twenty eighth to the first.
Speaker 4: I don't like those people.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, tell us how you really feel.
Speaker 3: Don't be so selfish. It's like people have a wedding,
Speaker 3: an engagement, a bridle shower, a hens. Do keep to
Speaker 3: one event please?
Speaker 1: Oh you can't have them all?
Speaker 3: Nah, I got other stuff to do.
Speaker 2: What if you have a hierarchical approach to friendship? Like
Speaker 2: I went to a party once recently, and I'm a
Speaker 2: party friend for this friend. So I wasn't invited to
Speaker 2: the daytime lunch. I was invited to the nighttime. But
Speaker 2: I loved that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, thank you so much for your voice, man,
Speaker 3: and thanks for being a listener.
Speaker 1: Toy Tony. This is Flex and Frooms on CADA.
Speaker 3: So in today's segment on our radio show Flex and Rooms,
Speaker 3: I have entitled this the longest tune ever. I know
Speaker 3: you're thinking I'm going to play a song for the
Speaker 3: whole break. Yeah, you're gonna enjoy it.
Speaker 4: We love what we love it.
Speaker 3: When radio hosts don't talk, we want that interrupted ad
Speaker 3: free break. I gotta disappoint you. It's not a tune. Instead,
Speaker 3: it's a term that we use when you're on the
Speaker 3: tune with someone, when you're trying to get someone's attention.
Speaker 1: Tune is the term you use when you're on the
Speaker 1: tune with someone.
Speaker 3: Can you think of it when you're like trying to
Speaker 3: date someone.
Speaker 2: Tune is propositioning someone romantically or sexually.
Speaker 3: There we go on the tune. And the other day
Speaker 3: I was walking through the park listening to our podcast
Speaker 3: actually because I listen to it back for personal.
Speaker 4: Notes, and I get a message and.
Speaker 3: It goes still looking forward to our coffee A and
Speaker 3: then this smiley face oh with a tongue out, and
Speaker 3: I go, wait a minute, and I'm going to put
Speaker 3: up I'm going to make a different name. Ryan, Oh, Ryan,
Speaker 3: that that name looks really familiar. It's kind of unusual name.
Speaker 1: Is this the person we barked at?
Speaker 3: No? No, this is someone else? So a few a
Speaker 3: few months, want to flex some froom show. Someone sent
Speaker 3: me a message and we just sent back some barking.
Speaker 2: He said, something like, you're like, you think you're funny
Speaker 2: a or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and he was trying to he was trying
Speaker 3: to nag you.
Speaker 1: But like and then we send him a voice member.
Speaker 3: We're like, yeah, so I clicked through this guy and
Speaker 3: I go, oh my god, it's Ryan. I don't remember
Speaker 3: what time of my life we were chatting, but we
Speaker 3: were chatting at some point when I was Frooms, Like,
Speaker 3: because I haven't I have a life before Frooms. Oh
Speaker 3: after him? So before Frooms, I was the Cinder. What
Speaker 3: year was that twenty sixteen? I became true Firms. Oh,
Speaker 3: but up until that point, I didn't have social media.
Speaker 1: This is really his longest tune ever.
Speaker 2: Already repulsed, it was done.
Speaker 3: So then I'm like, I figured out, yeah, I've somehow
Speaker 3: we've messaged. So then I click through the message and
Speaker 3: I go, oh my god. I start scrolling back. The
Speaker 3: last time we spoke was twenty nineteen, and it was
Speaker 3: him replying to a story. Obviously I didn't reply.
Speaker 1: Covid was hot, and then.
Speaker 3: It was it was lockdown.
Speaker 4: And then I'm looking through and it's like October twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: It looks shell Shop January.
Speaker 3: January twenty nineteen, then February twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: Lap.
Speaker 3: These are nine month intervals between him messaging me what's
Speaker 3: going on, and then I scroll all the way back
Speaker 3: and it's twenty seventeen. Howdy, hand up. You have a
Speaker 3: funky account. Nice, So that's how my man started. Then
Speaker 3: I go le Mayo, thank you, sends me a little
Speaker 3: video WHOA that I won't play. I mean, i'll play
Speaker 3: the sound the lads as if that's attractive.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling. I feel it.
Speaker 3: I'm safe.

Speaker 3: He's the one Tunic.
Speaker 1: I stand by him.
Speaker 3: I want to read you more of these messages because
Speaker 3: I want to get your opinion on whether or not

Speaker 2: but definitely have the wedding. Of course, Fumi did say
Speaker 2: as long as I do, I have to sign a prenup,

Speaker 2: building a profile at the time. So scroll scroll scroll board.
Speaker 2: We get to August twenty seventeen. I feel privileged that
Speaker 2: my second favorite person on Instagram follows me, to which
Speaker 2: Froom's replies a day later, God bless. So I want
Speaker 2: to know you didn't ask who the first hope person was.
Speaker 2: This guy's putting his grafting keep going and you're blocking
Speaker 2: the graft. Do you remember what you felt about him
Speaker 2: and that just at this time, Ah, you had options.
Speaker 4: I had options. Look at time five years ago.
Speaker 2: He sends a response to your Instagram story at the
Speaker 2: Australian Open laughing emoji face, hard eye's emoji face.
Speaker 1: You send a bomb back? What does that mean? What
Speaker 1: does that mean?
Speaker 2: This last week when I said the issue with fruit
Speaker 2: so that she can't close, you guys thought I was
Speaker 2: a savage. This is what I'm talking about. Right, We're
Speaker 2: throwing shots. We're throwing shots. We're throwing shots. You're dodging them.
Speaker 2: Twentieth of January. Twentieth of January twenty eighteen. What are

Speaker 2: where do you usually go out? I want to boogie
Speaker 2: with you?
Speaker 5: Did?
Speaker 1: I say we did?
Speaker 2: I just like, honestly, there's nothing worse than aimless chit
Speaker 2: chat quick caveat. I was talking to a friend of
Speaker 2: mine the other day and he was like talking about
Speaker 2: how he started a lot of conversations with these girls
Speaker 2: that he's tuning around. I'm like, when are you meeting them?
Speaker 2: He's like, what do you mean? I said, what is
Speaker 2: your intention? If you're chit chatting chit chatting? He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: just so like when I eventually want to hang out,
Speaker 2: It's like we've got some conversation, and I was like, no,
Speaker 2: at the very most, you had a week long window.
Speaker 2: If you know you have the Friday, Saturday, Sunday free,
Speaker 2: you start talking on the Wednesday, okay, you lock it
Speaker 2: in on the Thursday, leave it for air on the Friday,
Speaker 2: using back in on a Saturday. If you don't have
Speaker 2: a weekend free or a date night free, don't talk
Speaker 2: completely agree, do a little gentle story response, a gentle
Speaker 2: double tap. Don't maintain the pen pals, because what I'm
Speaker 2: looking at this pen pals year to year to year,
Speaker 2: pen pouncing.

Speaker 3: and the title was a Saturday, so you get more
Speaker 3: of the flowery pieces and on news pieces and the
Speaker 3: I love this was the greatest female Australian artist we
Speaker 3: never knew.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't like the sound of that, the sound
Speaker 1: of that at all. Why I'm not happy about that.
Speaker 2: The greatest female Australian artist we never knew.
Speaker 1: I know who is she?
Speaker 3: So her name was Clarice Beckett, of no relation to
Speaker 3: Beckett the playwright, and she was a painter whose paintings
Speaker 3: I would describe as melancholic. So they kind of like
Speaker 3: misty a bit not van GOI. It's kind of like, okay,
Speaker 3: let me try and explain to you. It's like Monet
Speaker 3: that painting. Yeah, it's kind of like the flowers and
Speaker 3: the lily pad and the beautiful watercolor colors, and then
Speaker 3: it's it's like a scene in the Aldi world Australia,
Speaker 3: and the road is kind of blurry. Everything's blurry, as
Speaker 3: if seen through what's your name again, Clarice Beckett, And
Speaker 3: it's as if it's seen through a vasoline covered camera anyway,
Speaker 3: So paint's very melancholic. Nobody really knew her when she
Speaker 3: was alive. However, the NGV, the National Gallery of Victoria,
Speaker 3: uses her prints to sell merch. So the NGB, you
Speaker 3: know how there's a gift shop at all the galleries. Yeah,
Speaker 3: her stuff is printed on calendars and tee toowls and stuff,
Speaker 3: and it's the best selling artist in the whole ENGV.
Speaker 3: Is it because of the price point, I'm not sure,
Speaker 3: but she's brought often and it just made me think, Yeah,
Speaker 3: would you prefer to not be known for all the
Speaker 3: amazing art that you make and then be known after
Speaker 3: you die you can't enjoy yourself spoils or or would
Speaker 3: you prefer to not have it at all?
Speaker 1: Oh? Those are the only two options.
Speaker 3: If you can, you can add something else.
Speaker 1: Thank you for offering.
Speaker 2: Look, I'll take the clout post mortem. You know, I
Speaker 2: won't say no to it. But it's just such a shame.
Speaker 2: I hate to hear it. NGGV is like they're cashing in,
Speaker 2: And probably because she wasn't famous in her own time,
Speaker 2: she got that copyright free art.
Speaker 1: You can make whatever you want with it. Put it
Speaker 1: on to go under that catching in no royalty.
Speaker 4: Running out of the door, a total hot property.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Clarice Clarice Beckett.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of like, you know how with songs,
Speaker 3: once they've been around for one hundred years, they become unlicensed.
Speaker 3: Happy Birthday exactly so in one hundred years time, Beyonce's
Speaker 3: whole discography is free use. We're selling teeth whitening throwing
Speaker 3: Beyonce track underneath it on Talk Talk, which is going
Speaker 3: to be replaced TikTok. Anyway, jes are your future. Think
Speaker 3: about that all the time, about oh my God in
Speaker 3: the nineteen forties, are going to start being able to.
Speaker 2: Use Elvis in the nineteen forties or in the twenty forties.
Speaker 2: You lost me, But that's okay.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it pushing.
