Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 2: Sweet guys, I'm glad to be here. I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 2: This episode, we're talking about solutions when you're feeling sad?
Speaker 2: Is it the humble walk? Is that the rise? Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness? Has the loneliness epidemic been the reason why
Speaker 2: there's been a rise of hot girl walks?
Speaker 1: Definitely that, oh my, because you can't be bothered. I'm like,
Speaker 1: when I have friends where I live, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: do you want to go for a walk after I
Speaker 1: want to listen to my headphones, But then I call
Speaker 1: them or I walk with them. I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: so much better. I love my life.
Speaker 2: I agree, all right, more of that on the show today.
Speaker 2: Miss you Bye.
Speaker 1: This is Flex and Frooms on KIT. Right now you're
Speaker 1: listening to this, it's likely just past three. I don't
Speaker 1: look at the clocks when I'm in here. I just
Speaker 1: pretend like I'm in a casino type of vibe and
Speaker 1: just hope the time will run away from me. Right
Speaker 1: now in the world in Australia, i'd say that it
Speaker 1: could be considered too late to have a coffee. You know,
Speaker 1: people say, oh, you don't have a coffee past like
Speaker 1: three pm. Let's be serious, guys, you've got some Unich
Speaker 1: students were sitting in. We've got a few trade's. Actually,
Speaker 1: usually when you're a trader, you end at like three Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe one little pick me up on the way the
Speaker 1: way home, little ice ice ice break. Anyway, I found
Speaker 1: this article in the City Morning Herald about how much
Speaker 1: coffee is too much coffee because quite like paper Sis's rock.
Speaker 1: We could sit here and talk about coffee till the
Speaker 1: cows come home. And I don't even drink full fat
Speaker 1: cream milk. Flexee, do you drink coffee?
Speaker 2: I'm not on the beans, bab You ever been on
Speaker 2: the beans ever?
Speaker 1: That's so interesting to me. I wonder if so I
Speaker 1: started getting onto the bean train when I went to UNI.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a ride a passage. Like someone
Speaker 1: starts smoking Siggi's other people like start wearing berets. We
Speaker 1: started drinking Mockers and that was my gateway drug. Same
Speaker 1: with you, Mickey, Yeah, gateway.
Speaker 3: I had a crush on a boy eating He always
Speaker 3: had coffee.
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, I'll come with you.
Speaker 3: Oh like we'll get a coffee, even though I hate
Speaker 3: a coffee.
Speaker 1: You're a Siico that's so used when I see the
Speaker 1: vision how much coffee is too much coffee? Personally, I
Speaker 1: am on the beans, a big bean girl. Have a
Speaker 1: coffee first thing, and cappuccino from a cafe type thing,
Speaker 1: and then we go onto the macona, double up, double up,
Speaker 1: twelve to three pm. So, guys, most adults can safely
Speaker 1: consume five hundred milligrams of caffeine or the amount in
Speaker 1: six espresso shots per day. If you're pregnant, the recommended
Speaker 1: shift is to know more than two hundred milligrams. That's
Speaker 1: three shots of coffee, Mickey, in a small cappuccino? Is
Speaker 1: it one shot of espresso?
Speaker 3: I think in a small yes, and regular two. But
Speaker 3: it really depends on the restaurant. Like sometimes I've gotten
Speaker 3: a soy ice latte. I reckon the other day they
Speaker 3: put three in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mate, I reckon. When they're doing the ice members
Speaker 1: they it's always like a doubles in the shape. So
Speaker 1: that being said, guys, four hundred milligrams, which again i'll
Speaker 1: remind you of six espresso shots is reasonable for most adults.
Speaker 1: But this van Robert van Damn guy who's a professor
Speaker 1: of exercise and nutrition at the Milken Institute of Public Health,
Speaker 1: and George Washington, UNI says it also fits in with
Speaker 1: the research on how much you should consume to reap
Speaker 1: the health benefits while avoiding unpleasant science side effects. So
Speaker 1: two to four.
Speaker 2: Cuts are the health benefits of coffee.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, increased energy focus. There's actually it's like
Speaker 1: a red wine situation or like a dark chocolate moment.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a bit of pr It's.
Speaker 1: A bit of pr but I'm lapping it up. I
Speaker 1: can't live it out my coffee.
Speaker 4: Shout out, ladies and gentlemen, It's time for flexis big
Speaker 4: question of the week.
Speaker 2: Woo that is correct. Last week we discussed what is
Speaker 2: a misconception people make about you that you used to
Speaker 2: your advantage? And this week the question is pause before
Speaker 2: I get into that. The whole point of me posing
Speaker 2: these big questions is to help us exercise the tool
Speaker 2: and the skill of critically thinking, thinking deeper about what
Speaker 2: we believe, why we believe it, who's influencing what we believe,
Speaker 2: what stories we tell ourselves about why the way they are.
Speaker 2: Not to shame yourself or make you feel uncomfortable, but
Speaker 2: just to give you some more context for yourself and
Speaker 2: then hopefully give you more empathy for other people who
Speaker 2: you might not have considered are experiencing life differently to you,
Speaker 2: just because we're different people. So what usually happens is
Speaker 2: I pose a question on radio like I'm doing now,
Speaker 2: and then on our Instagram, which is flex and Rooms.
Speaker 2: We have a little question box on our Instagram story
Speaker 2: and you can answer the question there, and then in
Speaker 2: a couple of days time, I will read out some
Speaker 2: of your answers, and then for me and I will discuss.
Speaker 2: So this week's big question is what life experience do
Speaker 2: you need that you currently don't have. And the reason
Speaker 2: why I'm asking is because I feel as though a
Speaker 2: lot of us can think about how all the things
Speaker 2: we've experienced thus far have made our lives easier or harder.
Speaker 2: Like I think about how for so long I didn't
Speaker 2: have a license and now I'm like, gosh, I could
Speaker 2: not imagine how limited I would feel if I still
Speaker 2: didn't have a life license, and I didn't even consider
Speaker 2: the scope of reality I was missing out on because
Speaker 2: I couldn't drive. It didn't occur to me. Similarly, you know,
Speaker 2: figuring out how to make yourself breakfast. Yes, that's a
Speaker 2: life experience that some people don't have and don't realize
Speaker 2: that they need. So for you personally, what is a
Speaker 2: life experience you don't have that you currently don't have,
Speaker 2: that you think you need? And a byproduct of that
Speaker 2: is will you go and get it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Can I tell you mine? Yeah? Learning how to check
Speaker 1: oil and water in a car, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I refuse to learn, but I could be blowing up
Speaker 1: my engine any day now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The learning the lights and the dash is really important
Speaker 2: everyone really. The day that I got a light my
Speaker 2: dash and how to open up the manual, I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my what And the symbol didn't even match the problem,
Speaker 2: which was not enough air pressure and the tires. And
Speaker 2: then I went to a service station or a petrol station,
Speaker 2: a gas station, a filling station, that's another one. What
Speaker 2: do you say petrol station?
Speaker 1: Petrol station?
Speaker 2: I used to say filling station because that's what my
Speaker 2: mum said, but I don't know where that comes from.
Speaker 5: That's giving And didn't get my license to a late
Speaker 5: in life.
Speaker 2: At yeah, And then I went there and I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: let's crank it. How do we do it? Everyone? No instructions?
Speaker 2: Not enough Anyway, I went to the air tire shop.
Speaker 2: They do it for free Premium air oh for free,
Speaker 2: true Premium is a pretty girl. I don't know you're
Speaker 2: gonna answer the question on our Instagram story now, please do.
Speaker 2: It's such a pleasure to read through your responses and
Speaker 2: realize how similar we all are or worst case scenario,
Speaker 2: best case scenario, how different we all are.
Speaker 1: Major you're listening to Flex and Rooms on cater seems
Speaker 1: that we have come up with an antidote to the
Speaker 1: experience of flopping. It's very important that we have come
Speaker 1: up with the term flop, being on the flop, having
Speaker 1: a flop era, if you will, because it is something
Speaker 1: that everybody experiences. If you experience it later on in life,
Speaker 1: I will say it's quite humbling. It's quite humbling experience,
Speaker 1: but it's ultimately important to build your empathy skills. I
Speaker 1: found a TikTok which totally encapsulates what happens when I
Speaker 1: find myself in an alleged flop Era always alleged me
Speaker 1: when I'm I can't believe that I'm twenty eight.
Speaker 5: I'm reading out a TikTok.
Speaker 2: Like verbally as well, because TikTok is just for like
Speaker 2: internal processing. You can't like read it, especially word for
Speaker 2: Wordwhere sounded out of me?
Speaker 5: When I should have been over that ten years ago?
Speaker 1: All right? Me when I hate myself, Me when I'm
Speaker 1: flopping so hard that I have to go on a
Speaker 1: long walk and I have a.
Speaker 6: Meeting with myself to figure out how I'm going to
Speaker 6: rebrand my life. And you resonated, and I'm pretty sure
Speaker 6: the music is like the Doors or something, or the Smiths, And.
Speaker 1: I got to say, this is what I do. Put
Speaker 1: the headphones in. Well, you know you're really going through
Speaker 1: something when you go for a walk without the headphones.
Speaker 1: That's when you have some real mental gymnastics to exp
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I should try, because it wouldn't occur to me to
Speaker 2: just like go for a walk if I felt scrambled.
Speaker 2: I think I would sooner take a nap.
Speaker 1: Oh, you really marinate in the feeling. I think the
Speaker 1: walk is good because you does something with your hormones.
Speaker 2: Are you thinking about the thing you're flopping about on
Speaker 2: the walk? Is that okay?
Speaker 1: We're thinking. We're transcribing to messenger, perhaps calling a friend
Speaker 1: to offload and the flop. But yeah, I like this
Speaker 1: is a new concept. Some of us nap, some of
Speaker 1: us walk. Also the idea of rebranding my life. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that we talk as if we're all products.
Speaker 2: Truly, I'm updating my one page only about me dried up.
Speaker 1: I've got a big question for you all. How do
Speaker 1: you name your group chats?

Speaker 4: So we all have that one group chat name that
