WEBVTT - Could This Be The Longest Tune Ever? 😏❤️

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast.

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep this one short and sweet, so we don't

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.039
<v Speaker 2>have a sixteen minute intro like we usually do. Yes,

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>few things we want to touch on. When I was

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>opening up my mirrored cabinet today, I hit my knuckle

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.599
<v Speaker 2>and broke the skin. I thought to myself, how fragile

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 2>are humans?

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Like back in the day the cavemen were fighting lions

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>and I'm here getting injured by a bathroom mirror. And

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the reason why I'm saying this is because it's plaguing

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.480
<v Speaker 2>my mind. It's at the front side of my mind.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I should be better than that.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Young people are gone soft Vault online. Please confirm Flex

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 3>is too soft? Where's Steve past him?

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Literally?

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get to it Flex and we have

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>got some listener dms. This one is very hefty. It

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>scrolls over two pages in my Instagram dms and not

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of paragraphic and usually I would skip these ones,

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>but they led with I'm currently listening to the show,

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and I said, okay, well, this is a friend and

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a fan, so let's do them. Let's do them a solid.

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Please put on your comprehension hats. I'm gonna need those

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>on the whole time. I'm firmly on listening is open?

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Can you give me a name? What for?

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I just want to paint a picture Live Actually yeah,

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I have a sister called Live. Will say, okay, well

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>say it? Did I? Okay? Listen?

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Flex, I hope you and Frooms are well. You know,

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder if people know that you can send

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>dms to both of us at the same time.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>Create a little group.

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we haven't a single one.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>Cause I'm constantly getting messages. I know Foms won't open

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>her DM, so I'm sending.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It to you. Okay, sorry, what am I your secretary?

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I agree?

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 3>So I wonder someone knows people will send me one.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, are they sending it to flex through?

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Because then we bring our breaks in at the start

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 3>of the week. I don't want to do a double up.

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>It's true.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Obviously they've got favorites.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Can I Dear Mike, thank you so much. I'm currently

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 2>listening to your podcast that touches based on blocking people

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>who encroach on our personal comfort. I wanted to ask

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>what your opinions are on simply unfollowing or unfriending old

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>friends who you've had a big fallout with. I've had

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>so many discussions with people about friends who they've had awkward,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>confronting or super uncomfortable cross the line fallouts with, who

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>continue to follow said friends, only to quickly skip over

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>their media posts and updates every time. I find that

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 2>it's not uncommon in these instances when I ask you

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>why you wouldn't just unfollow or unfriend that person, and

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>they'll use usually answer defensively, be like I can't do that,

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Why would I do that?

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>That's like so rude or whatever.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I just want to hear what your thoughts are on

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 2>keeping people you've cut ties with in your social personal

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>space and social media circles if you don't want to

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>see any updates from them or maintain any kind of

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>relationship personally, I believe that letting people you've had a

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>big fallout with create an unhappy and uncomfortable space on

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>your personal platform is not the go What do you reckon?

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Look right now, I'm a little bit distracted by your

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 3>t shirts to a leaper. Oh just suddenly, Yeah, I

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>was just thinking, you know, when Kim Kardashian died her

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 3>hair blonde, Yes, she kind of look like do a leaper?

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I guess I see that.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Aren't they both Armenian?

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>No? Julia was Albanian? Albanian? Yeah, yeah, I mean you

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 2>said that.

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I said, aren't they both?

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I could have said anything tall you know what I mean? Entrepreneurs, girl,

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>set up? Every time you fall right into it?

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god? What can I say? I am who

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.119
<v Speaker 3>I am? No room for improvement?

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't say that. We've talked about this.

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>What You've got to speak with intention? You said you

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>have no room for improvement. You can't say that because

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm perfect.

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, and I really meant that that time. So guys,

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm manifesting right all right, all right enough. I was

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 3>at a party. I know about other stuff. I will

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 3>say I was at a party that I wearing all grain.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Someone said, you gotta do a Shrek impression? Obviously, Nail,

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>do you want to do one?

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Llo?

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 4>Allo girl, I'm looking at your T shirts on. It's

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 4>the leaper. She's got a little bit of lightning going

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 4>behind the bark.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>You sound like that UFC fighter Patty. Yeah, yeah, you.

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 3>Know that Tic took of him jumping up and down,

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>and it was like, why am I so attracted to this?

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Because he's hot.

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 4>This is hot?

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what do I think I am voting? When she said,

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 3>what does she mean by media posts?

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 2>The social media posts like you know, like skipping past

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 2>their stories, their snapchats, their whatever. Because I guess what

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>she's explaining is that, like, let's say, have had a

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 2>falling out with someone and I'm not going to watch

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>their story because we've had a falling out. I'm not

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna like their posts. We've had a falling out. She's like,

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 2>just unfollow them, block them.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 3>You're not coming back from unfollow That's Nothing's more awkward

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 3>than having to follow someone again what I would do?

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Of course, he's used the mute button. And then when

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 3>you're having a bad time at night, going through a

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>bit of self loathing, go and look at their profile

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 3>and hurt yourself. Gotta keep them there so you don't do.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>The unfollowed Nah.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh nah, that was.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of effort just muting.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>But to be fair, I get the point that she's

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>making because it's there's nothing worse than you creating a

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>happy home for someone who's an unwelcome visitor.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you know what I'm saying?

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Actually is better than a bad tenant.

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>This is exactly.

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>It not in the current rental crisis, speak for yourself,

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't actually make any sense emotionally, mentally, spiritually

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>to be hanging onto that energy because you're concerned about

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the optics if the falling out has a curb snip

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>the ties. I used to be the kind of person

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>who wasn't into blocking, wasn't into atomic blocking.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no, that, like that's like not mature.

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>But then I realized it was my immaturity who was like, no,

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 2>they need to see me flex on them in a

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 2>very loud way. They need the subtweets to reach them.

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>How my subweet is going to reach them if they've

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 2>blocked you know. But I'm a big fan of the

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 2>atomic block because the mental space you got to free

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>it up.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 3>Ah Louis, who works a cater, said this thing about

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 3>soft block, and I think that's a really good word

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>as well. It's a soft block one platform muting.

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh a mute is a soft block.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh, it's a personal block.

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I think we need to start getting specific with our

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>interpersonal interactions because what we think is nuance is just

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 2>like avoidant apathy and ambiguity. This like undefined space where

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>nothing is or nothing can be perceived as anything but

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 2>all this other stuff. No pick aside, block someone, let

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>them know how they made you feel, because at the

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 2>very least you get closer to reconciliation. Remember one time

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I downloaded an unfollowed app because I was trying to

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>clear out my feed because it was the time where

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the Instagram algorithm changed and you weren't seeing your friend's post.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, oh, I need to start being

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 2>a bit more specific with who I'm following so I

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>can interact with my friends. So I downloaded this unfollowed

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>app and essentially you get to pick who you want

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>to unfollow, and it's like accounts who's not engaged with

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>me in the last thirty days, accounts I haven't engaged

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>with in the last thirty days anyway. World War III.

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>People weren't coming up to me and saying why did

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you unblock me? But they were going to my friends

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and being like, hey, like, does FLEX have a problem

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>with me? Why does she unfollow me? And now look

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>like a liar because I forgot I had done this

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't know what accounts are being unfollowed. I

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, they all got to go. You know it

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't personal. It was personal to a lot.

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Of people followed me to feel very intentional, right.

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, it wasn't even like that because

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I was happy to go back and with a refollow,

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't given the good vibe. So you know,

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>be prepared for what that unfollow means. Can't go back,

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>You can, but the damage is done.

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, flex and frums.

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Today we're getting hot and heavy on the listener messages

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>dms whatever, all the evidence is here. Like I see

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Plice show, I'm always very intrigued in people message me

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>for the first time on Instagram when they've been following

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>me for a long time, because my platform is mostly

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>about two way communications. Sometimes I scream, you know what

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean. But if you if you're a longtime follower,

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm always like, what implored you? What gave me the

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 2>conviction to message this time?

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Nothing is better than that.

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I get met with three voice notes.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>This person says, I've never before in my life sent

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>a voice note on Instagram, and I feel that this

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>was not the chat to practice in.

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>But oh my god, dot dot dot dot dot dot

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>dot they want us to wait on something. I don't

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. We'll we'll find out together.

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Lex oh and maybe fause he my name is Tony

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 5>and I just would please need you guys to wait

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 5>in on this. So actually no, say, well, just a

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 5>warning heads up. I will probably not be presenting this

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 5>in a new tool and by this way. But that

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 5>feels like my parent. So my question is, if you're

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 5>born on Olympia and your birthday happens to fall on

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 5>between ninth of February, do you, a like on all

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 5>the other non leper years, celebrate your birthday on the

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 5>twenty eighth of February or b on the first of March,

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 5>because like my friend thinks that it should be the

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 5>twenty eighth because it keeps it in February. But surely

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 5>the only correct answer is B. Because first of all,

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 5>you are because I was looking at the time and

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.079
<v Speaker 5>I was like, oh my gosh, gonna run out of

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 5>time here.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh now I actually will.

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 4>This is this is a journey one of us.

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 5>That is actually so embarrassing. I did not mean to

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 5>say that so early. So you just keep going, You're

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 5>all good. So because okay.

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>So was.

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Flex the past.

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 2>You just never get to the white So absolutely, okay, wait,

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>so you know how she's one of yours for me?

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, ringa and composure hopefully, I think. But I was

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 5>saying because like, surely the only correct answer is b

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 5>first of March, because one, your birthday is literally the

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 5>day after the twenty eighth of February, and two, if

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 5>it was actually a leap yeah, that day like labels

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 5>a side would be your birthday, Like, please affirm me,

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 5>tell me I'm right, because I'm genuinely anyway, I'm just

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 5>gonna leave because I am genuine my nervous thing many times,

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 5>So goodbye.

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're.

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to Tony. That's the best word we've ever

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>gotten in.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Our lives, Tony, I was on the ride.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so let's do a show of hands.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>No, it's radio, so we're gonna need a allowed yes.

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 2>So if it's yes, oh ah, So if you believe

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>that a leapy baby should celebrate their birthday on the

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighth or the thirty first.

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Wait, there is no thirty one of them? Yeah what

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 3>did you even go to school?

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, who agrees you sell about your birthday on the

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighth if you're a leapier baby, wi yeah, yeah,

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in theory, the twenty eighth makes a lot of sense

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.079
<v Speaker 2>because it's still in February.

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, nobody's nen get too fast.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's your birthday's coming up, and if you're

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 2>going out at night, probably gonna crack over into what

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>would have been your birthday. However, you weren't born, You

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 2>won't even you didn't even exist yet in the human realm.

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>You hadn't touched oxygen like that until the twenty ninth.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>So it has to be the first.

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 4>How does the baby not breathe in the tummy?

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Not does? But it's scott gills?

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Are you serious?

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 3>No, But it doesn't come out with gills?

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it does.

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 4>Where's the baby's gills?

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay? See this is how you I know.

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I need to Okay, hold on a bloody second. Marty

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 3>in the studio has a baby?

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Does it have gills? Baby has never had gills?

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:54.599
<v Speaker 1>It?

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 3>So, how does the baby breathe in the tummy bilical cord?

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Babe?

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Bro?

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 4>It has a mouth, bro, How is it not drowning

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 4>in the fluid?

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we take its first breath, Bro, that must

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 3>be a rush.

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the first real high Okay, So the only correct

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 2>answer is the first. However, I won't fight someone if

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 2>they want to do the twenty eighth. It really depends

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>on what you're how you're celebrating, and what day it

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 2>falls on me. If you're smart, you do the whole

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 2>weekend twenty eighth to the first.

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't like those people.

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, tell us how you really feel.

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Don't be so selfish. It's like people have a wedding,

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 3>an engagement, a bridle shower, a hens. Do keep to

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 3>one event please?

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh you can't have them all?

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 3>Nah, I got other stuff to do.

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 2>What if you have a hierarchical approach to friendship? Like

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I went to a party once recently, and I'm a

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 2>party friend for this friend. So I wasn't invited to

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the daytime lunch. I was invited to the nighttime. But

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I loved that.

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, anyway, thank you so much for your voice, man,

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 3>and thanks for being a listener.

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Toy Tony. This is Flex and Frooms on CADA.

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 3>So in today's segment on our radio show Flex and Rooms,

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>I have entitled this the longest tune ever. I know

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 3>you're thinking I'm going to play a song for the

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>whole break. Yeah, you're gonna enjoy it.

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 4>We love what we love it.

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 3>When radio hosts don't talk, we want that interrupted ad

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 3>free break. I gotta disappoint you. It's not a tune. Instead,

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 3>it's a term that we use when you're on the

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 3>tune with someone, when you're trying to get someone's attention.

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Tune is the term you use when you're on the

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>tune with someone.

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Can you think of it when you're like trying to

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 3>date someone.

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 2>Tune is propositioning someone romantically or sexually.

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 3>There we go on the tune. And the other day

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I was walking through the park listening to our podcast

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 3>actually because I listen to it back for personal.

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Notes, and I get a message and.

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 3>It goes still looking forward to our coffee A and

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.079
<v Speaker 3>then this smiley face oh with a tongue out, and

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I go, wait a minute, and I'm going to put

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 3>up I'm going to make a different name. Ryan, Oh, Ryan,

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 3>that that name looks really familiar. It's kind of unusual name.

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Is this the person we barked at?

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 3>No? No, this is someone else? So a few a

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 3>few months, want to flex some froom show. Someone sent

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 3>me a message and we just sent back some barking.

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>He said, something like, you're like, you think you're funny

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:29.800

<v Speaker 3>We're like, yeah, so I clicked through this guy and

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.040

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 3>what time of my life we were chatting, but we

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 3>were chatting at some point when I was Frooms, Like,

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 3>because I haven't I have a life before Frooms. Oh

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 3>after him? So before Frooms, I was the Cinder. What

<v Speaker 3>year was that twenty sixteen? I became true Firms. Oh,

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 3>but up until that point, I didn't have social media.

0:14:58.400 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>This is really his longest tune ever.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.960

<v Speaker 3>the Sydney Morning Herald otherwise known as the SMH. For

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.360
<v Speaker 3>our friends are working and living in Melbourne. It's called

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 3>the Age.

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Is it really?

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Huh So I grew up with the Age, but

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 3>now I'm with a Sydney Morning Herald. So I was

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 3>reading the SMH digital version. Of course, I'm a subscriber

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 3>paying for my news.

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 2>They've not comped it yet because you have to that

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times and have not comped it for you.

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 3>They don't care. I'm writing articles. They're paying me for

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 3>that pretty good rate for writers. I will, I will admit,

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:55.199
<v Speaker 3>don't say it too loudly. I was reading this article

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 3>and the title was a Saturday, so you get more

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 3>of the flowery pieces and on news pieces and the

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 3>I love this was the greatest female Australian artist we

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 3>never knew.

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I don't like the sound of that, the sound

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of that at all. Why I'm not happy about that.

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 2>The greatest female Australian artist we never knew.

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I know who is she?

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 3>So her name was Clarice Beckett, of no relation to

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Beckett the playwright, and she was a painter whose paintings

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 3>I would describe as melancholic. So they kind of like

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 3>misty a bit not van GOI. It's kind of like, okay,

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.120
<v Speaker 3>let me try and explain to you. It's like Monet

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 3>that painting. Yeah, it's kind of like the flowers and

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 3>the lily pad and the beautiful watercolor colors, and then

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 3>it's it's like a scene in the Aldi world Australia,

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 3>and the road is kind of blurry. Everything's blurry, as

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 3>if seen through what's your name again, Clarice Beckett, And

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 3>it's as if it's seen through a vasoline covered camera anyway,

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 3>So paint's very melancholic. Nobody really knew her when she

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 3>was alive. However, the NGV, the National Gallery of Victoria,

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 3>uses her prints to sell merch. So the NGB, you

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 3>know how there's a gift shop at all the galleries. Yeah,

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 3>her stuff is printed on calendars and tee toowls and stuff,

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 3>and it's the best selling artist in the whole ENGV.

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Is it because of the price point, I'm not sure,

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 3>but she's brought often and it just made me think, Yeah,

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 3>would you prefer to not be known for all the

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 3>amazing art that you make and then be known after

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 3>you die you can't enjoy yourself spoils or or would

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 3>you prefer to not have it at all?

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Those are the only two options.

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 3>If you can, you can add something else.

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for offering.

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'll take the clout post mortem. You know, I

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 2>won't say no to it. But it's just such a shame.

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I hate to hear it. NGGV is like they're cashing in,

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>And probably because she wasn't famous in her own time,

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 2>she got that copyright free art.

0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>You can make whatever you want with it. Put it

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>on to go under that catching in no royalty.

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Running out of the door, a total hot property.

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to Clarice Clarice Beckett.

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 3>It reminds me of like, you know how with songs,

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 3>once they've been around for one hundred years, they become unlicensed.

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Happy Birthday exactly so in one hundred years time, Beyonce's

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.680
<v Speaker 3>whole discography is free use. We're selling teeth whitening throwing

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Beyonce track underneath it on Talk Talk, which is going

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 3>to be replaced TikTok. Anyway, jes are your future. Think

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 3>about that all the time, about oh my God in

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 3>the nineteen forties, are going to start being able to.

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Use Elvis in the nineteen forties or in the twenty forties.

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 2>You lost me, But that's okay.

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's keep it pushing.

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.320
