Speaker 1: The Flex in Rooms Daily.
Speaker 2: Podcast, brought to you by Cata.
Speaker 3: Hello and welcome to this most gorgeous edition of Flex
Speaker 3: on Frames podcast. Maybe you're binging it in a far
Speaker 3: far away universe like the James Webb telescope looking back
Speaker 3: in time and US spanshe's having an absolutely gorgeous time.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 3: Thanks. Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Flex and Frooms on CADA.
Speaker 3: We're going to be talking about one of our favorite topics.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's dating. Try and stop us. I can't stop.
Speaker 1: And for all the.
Speaker 2: Times we've told you to dump them, break up with them,
Speaker 2: I think it's only fair that we give you a
Speaker 2: framework to do so effectively. And that starts with when
Speaker 2: when is the best time to break up with someone?
Speaker 2: There is a formula we're going to create it. But
Speaker 2: before we do that, I came across this article and
Speaker 2: it was about the five times a year where breakups
Speaker 2: occur the most.
Speaker 1: Right, when do you think it is off?
Speaker 2: Top?
Speaker 3: After Christmas?
Speaker 1: Yeah? For sure?
Speaker 3: New Year kind of vibe.
Speaker 2: You knew me?
Speaker 3: When winter starts? No, sorry, when winter ends, so cuffing
Speaker 3: season is over?
Speaker 1: Spring?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What else?
Speaker 2: Was that?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Inconclusion always, but here is what we discovered. There was
Speaker 2: a Yahoo survey. It did come out in two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven, so one could say it's out of date,
Speaker 2: but I feel like love is timeless and conversations about
Speaker 2: love and dating are also timeless, and so the data
Speaker 2: still stands. But it said that breakups are twice as
Speaker 2: likely to occur between Christmas and Valentine's Day, absolute feral savages.
Speaker 1: Would you do a Christmas breakup? I wouldn't rule it out. No,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: But the most popular times are New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, March.
Speaker 3: I'm a March baby, early.
Speaker 2: November, late November, early December. These things are quite obvious, right, Actually, no, Valentine's.
Speaker 1: Day on the day is absurd to me.
Speaker 2: Really, day before day, after a fair game, fair game,
Speaker 2: day of brutal Christmas Day, brutal Christmas, Eve, boxing day,
Speaker 2: fair game, fair games, early November I think is the
Speaker 2: perfect time nip it in the bud. However, here's where
Speaker 2: it gets a bit confusing. If we're saying that New
Speaker 2: Year's Day is rogue, Valentine's Day is rogue, Christmas is rogue.
Speaker 2: I think Halloween is not a great time, and East
Speaker 2: is not a great time either. I also feel like
Speaker 2: you can't really break up with someone a month before
Speaker 2: or after their birthday. I think that's a bit mean
Speaker 2: as well, because chances are they factored you into that
Speaker 2: celebration or there's an expectation that because you're meeting a milestone,
Speaker 2: the gift is going.
Speaker 1: To be good.
Speaker 3: I don't want to break up with someone right after
Speaker 3: their birthday because that means I won't get a present
Speaker 3: on my birthday exactly. That's where my man's at.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think of that at all, but thank
Speaker 2: you for taking me there with you. I think the
Speaker 2: correct formula is you're allowed to break up with someone
Speaker 2: a month before their birthday if you've already received your gift.
Speaker 2: If you haven't received your gift, it's a month after
Speaker 2: your birthday.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: If your birthday falls on a major holiday in and
Speaker 2: around a month either side, then you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: pick the birthday or the major holiday. For instance, if
Speaker 2: your birthday is November and you want a Christmas present,
Speaker 2: so sorry, break up past to occur in January.
Speaker 3: I understand you get it. End.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if your birthday is in April, but you don't
Speaker 2: want to be single for winter.
Speaker 1: Birthday? Spring? Cut them off, cut them loose?
Speaker 3: Do you reckon? You can be in a relationship once
Speaker 3: I know that, Once I know that I want to
Speaker 3: break up with someone, I'm doing it straight away.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, No, you've been in.
Speaker 3: A relationship you don't want to be I'm a.
Speaker 2: Very harsh judge of character, and I feel like the
Speaker 2: closer you ARTI someone, the more you see, the more
Speaker 2: you judge them harshly. So sometimes I got a second guess,
Speaker 2: am I just seeing too much? Because we just spent
Speaker 2: much time together? Do I need just some distance to recalibrate?
Speaker 2: But this is also the girl that broke up with
Speaker 2: a boyfriend because.
Speaker 1: The horoscope said, are you serious?
Speaker 2: It's oversimplifying it. But yeah, around there, when was this?
Speaker 2: I was my am I the asshole, like I just
Speaker 2: needed the validation. I was going to do it, but
Speaker 2: this was like a perfect time.
Speaker 3: How did there? Did you say that to me?
Speaker 1: No? But that was why.
Speaker 2: If it's already bubbling, it's dead, and to me, it
Speaker 2: wasn't worth being restored at the time.
Speaker 3: Well, I got dumb as soon as I got back
Speaker 3: from Schoolies.
Speaker 2: That's hectic, and I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Speaker 3: It was really sad. And because he wasn't on schoolies
Speaker 3: with me, so I was like, I think you were
Speaker 3: like so.
Speaker 1: Here you were being chased on schoolies and.
Speaker 3: My chastity belt was firmly on Wow, Dog Act.
Speaker 1: Dog Act, Fleck and frooms.
Speaker 3: Here, on flicks and frooms we ask the hard questions
Speaker 3: that no one else is ready to ask.
Speaker 1: Every single day, relentless, thankless.
Speaker 3: It never stops. And today's question is, of course, which
Speaker 3: are you? There's two types of people in the world.
Speaker 3: What are some types like tomato tomato sure, tomato sauce
Speaker 3: and the fridge, tomato sauce in the cupboard, terrible tomato
Speaker 3: sauce and burgers or no tomatoes again.
Speaker 2: Or controversially, water at room temp or ice cold. We
Speaker 2: know what's better for digestion, but socially there's a preferred one.
Speaker 3: True. Well, today's is a simple one. It's one that
Speaker 3: all humans and aliens around the globe can relate to,
Speaker 3: and that is you are a fart or a burper.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna kick it off with what I am. Great,
Speaker 3: thank you for disclosing. I'm not even gonna make you guess. Okay, great,
Speaker 3: I'm not here to play games. I'm here to go
Speaker 3: all in for farting. I cannot believe when I say,
Speaker 3: are you a burper or a farter, that anyone would
Speaker 3: ever choose burping belching? Is this what would one prefer?
Speaker 3: Or what one does more often?
Speaker 1: Both?
Speaker 3: So I'm a natural born fart and I want to
Speaker 3: keep it that way. So I am both fart by
Speaker 3: nature and fart by nurture.
Speaker 1: Oh amazing.
Speaker 3: However, burping, I don't know you're a burper. What do
Speaker 3: you think you're a burper? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Up the gullet, up the gullet.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy to disclose that I'm in fact a
Speaker 2: far now. You have seen me on occasion try to
Speaker 2: get out of burp. But I don't have the reflexes.
Speaker 2: My guzzler isn't built for that. I really have to
Speaker 2: push stuff out. If I was a burper, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be as flem me. True, this stuff is stays clogged.
Speaker 2: Nothing's coming in, nothing's going out.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gona know because we have spent some time together.
Speaker 3: Now we have gone to the toilet at the same time.
Speaker 3: Was that you and the cubicle before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you giggled, and.
Speaker 2: I thought because you knew I was in there, so
Speaker 2: I giggled with I didn't know why were you giggling
Speaker 2: if you didn't know he was in there.
Speaker 3: I was giggling because I went in and there was
Speaker 3: no toilet paper, and you didn't say anything. So I
Speaker 3: did a little way, then got up and waddled to
Speaker 3: the next toilet. There was no toilet paper. What was
Speaker 3: I to do?
Speaker 1: And then came back to the original toilet?
Speaker 3: Nah? Nah?
Speaker 1: So when when did the flush occur? Oh?
Speaker 3: No flush it was it was a millimeter of we Anyway,
Speaker 3: I digress, as you would say, I'm all for farting.
Speaker 2: I want to circle back. How do you soil a
Speaker 2: public toilet and then not flush?
Speaker 3: As I say?
Speaker 1: It was like you wake up at three am?
Speaker 2: Or let me just quickly let one loose, don't want
Speaker 2: to wake up the roomys go back to bed, let
Speaker 2: me not. People say I'm mean, I I just say
Speaker 2: I'm observant.
Speaker 3: Do you know how I felt waddling with my skirt.
Speaker 2: I don't mean to beerate you in your time of need. However,
Speaker 2: you walked into a bathroom with one cubicle in use.
Speaker 2: Presumably that cubicle had toilet paper. You went into yours
Speaker 2: the far right, it's there's three, did a little little
Speaker 2: tinkle apparently it's not twinkled tinkle. Did a little tinkle
Speaker 2: maybe while we're talking twenty mills.
Speaker 3: Thirty one millimeter, it was a drop thirty mills.
Speaker 2: Then used your pelvic floor to hold in the rest,
Speaker 2: zip it up, went to another cubicle. And at no
Speaker 2: point did you think just to ask the person in
Speaker 2: the cubicle for toilet paper.
Speaker 3: Look earlier in the week, you shamed me, you pissed
Speaker 3: shamed me. I did because I wee like a horse,
Speaker 3: and I'd do it again, And so I didn't want
Speaker 3: to be outing myself as a person who's next to
Speaker 3: you in a cubicle saying can I.
Speaker 1: Have some toilet paper? Your nation? Shame?
Speaker 3: It was your nation, And yes, I'm a father, flex
Speaker 3: and frooms.
Speaker 2: It seems like in the year twenty twenty two, it's
Speaker 2: becoming increasingly easier and as difficult as ever to become
Speaker 2: a millionaire. One might say that you take the traditional route.
Speaker 1: You go to.
Speaker 2: UNI, get a job, work for sixty five years, and
Speaker 2: then maybe acquire a million dollars over your lifetime. Some
Speaker 2: people have taken a different route, which involves unboxing toys.
Speaker 2: We talked about a seven year old who made twenty
Speaker 2: two million dollars in one year from unboxing toys obscene.
Speaker 2: I have now come to counter that with an even
Speaker 2: more absurd story, one that feels like it should have
Speaker 2: a fact or cap headline. But I'm going to avoid
Speaker 2: that and just tell you the truth. There was a
Speaker 2: Game of Girl called Belle Delphine who made ten million
Speaker 2: dollars alleged from selling her used bathwater. Some would say
Speaker 2: legends are born. I think that legends are made through
Speaker 2: wacky stunts like this for thirty bucks a pop, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure that was USD. I want to do a
Speaker 2: quick currency conversion, maybe about forty bucks fifty five? Anyway,
Speaker 2: you think double almost double? I thought the pound was
Speaker 2: almost double.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you a litt legnin Okay.
Speaker 2: She is a Game of girl sometimes makes adult content.
Speaker 2: Has been known to do a few salacious, stunty things
Speaker 2: for you know, a few clicks. But when you've got
Speaker 2: millions of followers, a few clicks can easily turn into
Speaker 2: millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: In your account. Please let us know.
Speaker 3: Girl Boss, so forty USD dollars is fifty six Australian dollars.
Speaker 1: That's terrible.
Speaker 3: Told you I'm amazing.
Speaker 1: Anyway, you are amazing.
Speaker 2: So not only confirmes guests the make and model of
Speaker 2: any car in Australia by sight, she has a two
Speaker 2: to five success right, that's like a forty percent. She
Speaker 2: can also do exchange currency converting.
Speaker 1: I digress.
Speaker 2: I feel like we've been going about entrepreneurship in the
Speaker 2: wrong way. Had I ever thought about selling my own
Speaker 2: bath order? I haven't do I even take baths. No,
Speaker 2: I'm a shower girl. I am a shower girl. But
Speaker 2: if it could make me ten milli USD, I would
Speaker 2: do far less for.
Speaker 1: That much money. I mean, wait, you would.
Speaker 2: So. I think in the next coming weeks we have
Speaker 2: to put some of these things.
Speaker 3: To the test, just because I will detest selling my bathworts.
Speaker 2: Are they flukes or are they strategies that can be
Speaker 2: replicated for success?
Speaker 1: If we start on boxing.
Speaker 2: Toys on YouTube, maybe two three EP's, I want to
Speaker 2: see how much money could flow in from that. Okay,
Speaker 2: if we start rickrolling people like Soldier Boy, you know,
Speaker 2: we can get famous. We could be soldier boys if
Speaker 2: we jump into separate baths.
Speaker 1: Bottle that up. Put it on Chopify.
Speaker 3: So just before this segment, our producer Brook told us
Speaker 3: that you know when you go to hotels and there's
Speaker 3: like sometimes a weird film on the bath, like outside
Speaker 3: the bath, that's.
Speaker 1: Skin that's disgusting.
Speaker 3: That's people's skin that they've slored off, ill in the bar,
Speaker 3: slopped it off, and their skin has just covered the
Speaker 3: bath in a salutical slushy poutical, you know, salutical.
Speaker 2: No. I would love to have maybe like a eighty
Speaker 2: six minute conversation with you about all the ways that
Speaker 2: hotels are disgusting. There was this one chicken made this
Speaker 2: tell all video. It was short, maybe a minute, and
Speaker 2: she used to be a hotel cleaner, and she said
Speaker 2: that they would never wash the glasses. Just a bit
Speaker 2: of ajax spray and wipe, you know, get the blue cloth,
Speaker 2: chuck it back up the glasses. Like the glasses. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the ones you sit from, the ones that are for consumption.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm going to barley soon.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Anyway, this is flex and frooms on KEDA.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: There's not a day that goes by when I don't
Speaker 2: discover another insecurity, not of my own, but just on
Speaker 2: the internet.
Speaker 3: Do you have any insecurities?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got heaps, but I don't disclose because if
Speaker 2: I see them and I tell everyone and they see them,
Speaker 2: well now they're real.
Speaker 1: Yes, So you just pretend you don't for optics and
Speaker 1: suffer in silence alone.
Speaker 3: Do you tell your friends though, Well, it comes up.
Speaker 2: I won't hide it, but I'm not gonna share it.
Speaker 2: But yes, I go on the internet and people like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, that's space between your top lip and the
Speaker 2: bottom of your nose.
Speaker 1: And like, what about it?
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: People have the insecurities about the distance between the bottom
Speaker 2: of their nose and the top of their lip. And
Speaker 2: I'm just like, okay, these are all things. Have your insecurities.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be the insecurity police, but I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 2: there are a few key call ones and then the
Speaker 2: rest we have to let them go. But as I
Speaker 2: was scrolling on the clock app, I saw this video
Speaker 2: of a girl selfie mode front camera sitting in what
Speaker 2: appears to be a medical office of some sort, not
Speaker 2: her account.
Speaker 1: I thought was weird. But she was talking.
Speaker 2: About how for the longest time, she's felt really insecure
Speaker 2: about her voice, that it's too high pitched, and so
Speaker 2: she's gone to the surgeon's office to deepen it. I'll
Speaker 2: do some voice acting. Okay, here's what she sounds like.
Speaker 2: Hey everyone, for the longest time, I've had an insecurity
Speaker 2: that my voice is too high and I think it
Speaker 2: makes me sound like a child.
Speaker 1: And so I'm.
Speaker 2: Sitting with Doctormlem to see what he can do for me.
Speaker 2: She gets the surgery the next day, so he's done this.
Speaker 2: She had the Flax special. So I'm really happy with
Speaker 2: my voice at the moment. I feel like I sound
Speaker 2: like a mature woman. This is what I've ached for
Speaker 2: for the last fifteen years. I'm so happy. And the
Speaker 2: comments naturally were tearing her app This is not one
Speaker 2: of those moments where you're like, oh, you know, like
Speaker 2: I don't like my back girls, and everyone's like yeah,
Speaker 2: it's saying they were like.
Speaker 3: You are on his ass.
Speaker 1: Your voice was perfect.
Speaker 2: Can I be honest, I don't like your new voice.
Speaker 2: You sound like a man. And then she's in the
Speaker 2: comments fighting for her life. You don't enter, you don't enter,
Speaker 2: you don't enter, just let it play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so okay to they like cut the vocal cords
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: It was like before and after she comes out to
Speaker 2: the tube, resurgeon was like, can you make this noise?
Speaker 1: Ah? And then in the before it's.
Speaker 2: Like ah, and the after it's like oh. And then
Speaker 2: he was like, you see, in forty eight hours, you
Speaker 2: too could deepen your voice like this person. And I
Speaker 2: need to nail home the point. We all have insecurities.
Speaker 2: But I just feel like if we were sitting in
Speaker 2: a room on our own, in our lonesome, these insecurities
Speaker 2: would be I don't know, ninety percent lessened. What kind
Speaker 2: of interaction do we need to be having in society
Speaker 2: where some persons felt so traumatized by the pitch of
Speaker 2: their voice.
Speaker 1: Now snipping chords.
Speaker 2: And now she's finally happy with herself. I presume she
Speaker 2: might have Bier's remorse. You know, it was very quick.
Speaker 2: She was still in her surgical garms making the video,
Speaker 2: and now everybody's roasting her. Her new insecurity is going
Speaker 2: to be I was bullied by fifteen year olds on
Speaker 2: TikTok for doing something nice for myself.
Speaker 3: Always fifteen year olds brutal you see, and the issue
Speaker 3: here is that people that are often going out and
Speaker 3: getting surgery have dysmorphia.
Speaker 1: Is that a stat it is?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, hectic?
Speaker 3: So poor cis Can you do your deepest voice?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's what's the word alphabet A, b ab CD,
Speaker 2: E f G.
Speaker 1: My voice is already pretty deep.
Speaker 3: No, it's not that was hard? What are you already?
Speaker 1: ABC?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stop you right there.
Speaker 1: Okay ab CD you should have led with that. You
Speaker 1: would show and tell, just to show and tell. Don't
Speaker 1: ask me to join.
Speaker 3: Roast it.
Speaker 1: This is flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: It's time for my favorite segment, and that segment is
Speaker 3: called love Line, where you our dear listeners, send in
Speaker 3: a dilemma of the relationship variety nice and we will
Speaker 3: match you with a song to send you on your
Speaker 3: merry way and.
Speaker 2: A bit of advice ulicited. No, it's not unsolicited. If
Speaker 2: you met the gin with a request, flexus advice and
Speaker 2: rooms is banter.
Speaker 3: Hey, I ha, I've got a lot to say about
Speaker 3: this one today, Love Line. Should I let my ex
Speaker 3: call me pet names? Now? Right off the bat, I want.
Speaker 2: To say, God, yes, I'm not giving up a pet name.
Speaker 2: You think I'm gonna go back and be regressed.
Speaker 1: If there's a pet name I'm sticking on.
Speaker 3: All right, I get back to Lacinda. Hey, Lacinda, I know.
Speaker 1: So rude that grinds my gears.
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you about this true in justice.
Speaker 3: My boyfriend and I broke up six months ago. He
Speaker 3: dumped me, period. We still remain friends because we are
Speaker 3: in the same friendship group, so much so that we
Speaker 3: will go away on weekends trips as a group and
Speaker 3: we try not to make it awkward.
Speaker 1: Can relate, can you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow, I am pretty cool with this, but obviously
Speaker 3: I'm still feeling a little bit sensitive given I was
Speaker 3: the dumb pee.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Dump truck. Anyway, Anyway, when we're in the same space,
Speaker 3: he still calls me pet names. For example, we were
Speaker 3: in the kitchen at the Airbnb when we all went
Speaker 3: away and it was just him and me making chicken
Speaker 3: tacos for the group, and he would say things like, hey, Munchie,
Speaker 3: can you pass the sauce boat, Hey, pigeon, past the mayo,
Speaker 3: because we used to call each other munch. Of course, yeah,
Speaker 3: it makes sense. This really bothers me because it feels
Speaker 3: too intimate and I know he doesn't want to get
Speaker 3: back together. I think he's seen someone else.
Speaker 1: Should a.
Speaker 3: Munchie has entered the chat, that's bold. This is a
Speaker 3: tricky one for me.
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. It's very simple. Then you
Speaker 1: tell me why is it so tricky.
Speaker 3: Because often I get called Lucinda, which is just absurd.
Speaker 1: You find that rude. I'm hurt for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, because I hit them with a pet name.
Speaker 1: Of course any.
Speaker 2: Sound person would if we're not on pet name status.
Speaker 1: Let's not talk.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm thinking about this situation. I'm taking myself out
Speaker 3: of there.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's promove ourselves.
Speaker 3: I am sad for her that he is calling her munchie.
Speaker 1: And seeing someone else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't call me munchie if you're routing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean you're laying down pipe stick to
Speaker 2: the government name.
Speaker 3: I think that he is in the wrong. I think
Speaker 3: he should stop calling her Munchie and instead go back
Speaker 3: to her legal name, which i'd say it's Licinda. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But also in this instance, this person's messaged in. They've
Speaker 2: said I was broken up with. Only people who've been
Speaker 2: broken up with make the distinction. If you've done the
Speaker 2: breaking up, you say we broke up, you know, so
Speaker 2: let's just make that clear. Number two, it's been six months.
Speaker 2: That's fresh to me. Me too, that's pretty fresh. You're
Speaker 2: in the same friend group. You are never healing, you
Speaker 2: are never recovering. So while someone who was completely fine
Speaker 2: with this would not message us, you have, which leads
Speaker 2: me to believe you are uncomfortable with the current dynamic.
Speaker 2: You don't want to be single. You don't appreciate the
Speaker 2: pet names, not because it's too close to home, but
Speaker 2: because he's pet naming you and seeing someone else, and
Speaker 2: as you said, he doesn't want to get back together
Speaker 2: with you. These are all bad things compound together a
Speaker 2: terrible thing well with no solution because you're in the
Speaker 2: same friend group.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hasoc You've been listening to the Flegs and Frooms
