Speaker 1: The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast.
Speaker 2: Now McDonald's to say, now, Flex, Now, Flex, I want
Speaker 2: to give you a relationship advice dilemma that's been sent in.
Speaker 3: I'm ready to hear it.
Speaker 1: It is by sent in by a man about his
Speaker 1: girlfriend and McDonald's. I'm just gonna launch right into it.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 1: My girlfriend asked me to pick up McDonald's tonight. I
Speaker 1: ordered everything correctly, but they forgot to give us sweet
Speaker 1: and sour sauce for chicken nuggets. Anyways, that's a rare thing.
Speaker 3: I fee like they're always giving too much sweet and
Speaker 3: sour sauce. But I digress.
Speaker 1: You didn't grow up in the early two thousands. Going
Speaker 1: to Berwin McDonald's in Melbourne. Anyways. I get home, she
Speaker 1: opens the bag and goes through everything and finds out
Speaker 1: there's no sweetened soeur sauce for her chicken nuggets. She
Speaker 1: flies off the handle and tells me that I'm always
Speaker 1: screwing things up and how much I'm such a dumb
Speaker 1: ass and a total piece of and that I shouldn't
Speaker 1: then that I should have checked the bag. This petty
Speaker 1: argument goes on for another fifteen minutes and evolves into
Speaker 1: her now denying me my food because she didn't get.
Speaker 3: Petty argument for real argument. I'm scared.
Speaker 1: I'm at my breaking point with her, and I feel
Speaker 1: like one day I'm just gonna lose my shit because
Speaker 1: she's been verbally and emotionally abusive towards me for months,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much longer I can take
Speaker 1: it too long. Don't read GF didn't get her dipping sources,
Speaker 1: blame me for it, called me as many names as
Speaker 1: she could, and then tried to deny me food.
Speaker 3: I hate, no, I don't hate to be that person.
Speaker 3: We have to normalize breaking up with people number one,
Speaker 3: and we also to normalize bailing when things get too hard.
Speaker 3: Let's bring that energy into twenty twenty three. Too many
Speaker 3: of you are in struggle dynamics, struggle situations. Relieve yourselves.
Speaker 3: I know there's nothing worse than ordering food from McDonald's, KFC,
Speaker 3: Hungry Jack's, a Porto Nandos and having it be incorrect.
Speaker 3: But if someone's gone on an errand for you expect
Speaker 3: a twenty percent margin of error, it's gonna happen. Something's
Speaker 3: gonna go wrong. If you want it done right, you
Speaker 3: have to do it yourself. You send it someone on
Speaker 3: an errand just be grateful that they've got the food
Speaker 3: back to you on time. I'm always super like, weirded out,
Speaker 3: super spooked by people in verbally and physically abusive relationships
Speaker 3: because young people especially, we've been learning, we've been we've
Speaker 3: been talking on the sidelines about how we do relationships
Speaker 3: better and how we're more progressive and more able to
Speaker 3: yaddy addy, yadyaddy dadda, And now this it has to stop.
Speaker 3: Cut her loose, still her sources.
Speaker 1: I hope that for his sake, he actually did get
Speaker 1: the sources, but just hoarded them so that he has
Speaker 1: a way to break up with that abusive person. Abuse
Speaker 1: is never okay. Verbal abuse is just as bad as
Speaker 1: any other time.
Speaker 3: Situation does not call for it. It's a bit of sauce. Yes,
Speaker 3: the meal would be better with it, But is it
Speaker 3: worth like traumatizing someone?
Speaker 1: Actually, now that I think about it, eating chickennugts without
Speaker 1: any kind of sauce is.
Speaker 3: A great experience.
Speaker 1: It's horrible. Oh, actually, like I just probably throw it out,
Speaker 1: so I probably am more in her camp. I think
Speaker 1: I am prone to get violent.
Speaker 3: Well, let's bring back brawls. In twenty twenty three. No,
Speaker 3: let's keep that inside take it out. So we did say, okay, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 3: so Frumi is motioning for Brook to take out what
Speaker 3: she's just said. However, no less than a couple hours ago,
Speaker 3: Frumi made her radio news resolutions, in which she said
Speaker 3: that she would stop taking things back after she said so,
Speaker 3: but also gave herself five opportunities this year to take
Speaker 3: something back. Would you like to use one of them?
Speaker 1: Look, I won't, but I just want to prefer saying
Speaker 1: I was saying that completely as a joke, and I
Speaker 1: would never you are a comedian, true. I mean, as
Speaker 1: we know, sometimes sometimes things don't land, so we'll keep
Speaker 1: it in in the spirit of learning.
