WEBVTT - Why Flex Labelled Froomes A Karen 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.200 Flex and Friends. 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:05.240 Kita, welcome to the podcast, and it's through me here 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:06.800 and I just want to start off the top with 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.320 a bit of a disclaimer. Oh, whenever people give disclaimers, 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:11.560 you know it's bad. 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:12.799 Just leave it. 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.320 At this point, it suggests something bad has been done 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:22.799 and that I am morally reprehensive. Is that the right word? Yeah? Yeah, 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.079 I'm going to be talking about an experience that I 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:30.040 had on a flight from Sydney to Bali and I 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.600 made some decisions that I'm not so proud of right now. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.240 I had some Karen Esque behaviors come out. I don't 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:38.080 think it's Karen ESK. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.879 I think it's just Karen okay, Because if we remove 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.520 your beautiful likeness out of the picture and replace you 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.720 in that story with a generic Karen ESQ woman, we 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.360 would just say this is Karen behavior. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.280 But you could also take it from the point of 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:59.240 view of like I'm reclaiming space. We could, but we won't. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.840 And in this instance, I think where you went wrong 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.080 was your approach. Your approach sucked, because if you were 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.520 at the receiving end of your. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.080 Approach, you're like, what the fuck is this? And I 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.000 think you can't Yeah. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.240 Yeah, like, what, like, we're on a budget airline. What 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:14.679 do you mean rest is yours? 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:21.399 Anyway? Sorry? I promise everyone that I'm a good person. Yeah, definitely, 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.520 But I thought you're gonna put me up on that. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:24.479 That was again, I was like. 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.600 You're a good person. I'm not you are you See? 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.400 The trap is I'm not a good person, so you 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.680 can't hold me accountable for anything. Demon you, on the 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.600 other hand, very very import taste. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.800 Well, I hope everybody enjoys your story because it's never 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:45.360 gonna happen again. It mightn't. Sorry, she's sorry she got caught. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:47.320 It's true. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.559 This is flex and frooms. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.400 I know that you love certain things in life. I 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.720 love so many things, at least the things that you 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.680 put online that you love, because I'm sure there's things 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:58.960 that you love that you don't put on LiLine, cause 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.520 I think it's important to have things that are sacred. Yes, 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.600 I love sacred things. But you love Twilight. I do 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:10.399 you are Edward Culin fan? Yes, first wife, first wife. Yeah. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.839 I feel like you were definitely part of his regeneration 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.160 in absolutely the twenties. We are in the twenties now. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.720 I decided to start watching it I watched the first 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.119 one about a week ago. Then I watched number two 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.799 and three yesterday amazing vegetating on the couch all day 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.120 long in quick succession. Thank you for your dedication. Yeah, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.000 it's mysterious. It's I feel like I can smell it. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.160 I can smell the smell of like the woods when 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.680 I'm want like a cool tone filter. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:37.200 Yeah. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.520 Yeah, it makes me feel it's just Twilight, you know, 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.040 when you play it and then it's done. Pretty much 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.280 it goes And by the time we got to the 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:54.200 third movie, I had thoughts about Jacob okay, good, yeah, 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.720 so in the first so exciting. Thank you so much 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.680 for this. Watch the first movie, and Jacob was an 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.400 absolute sweetie. Couldn't say a bad word about him, like 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.120 little you know people please are cutie. His dad seemed cute. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.560 I was like, he's a great alternative to Edward. We 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.639 get to movie two, Jacob is keen on Bella. They're 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.560 going to the movies with that other guy that's keen 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.120 on Bella. It's a vibe. They're holding hands. But I 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.800 could always tell that he liked her a little bit 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.919 more than she liked him, because obviously Edward's in the picture, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:28.440 we get to movie three, dunt dun, dumb, and just 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.440 for context in terms of culturally, this movie came out 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.520 in twenty twelve. I was like fading in and out 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.480 of consciousness because like, one Twilight in a day is 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.680 too much for me. But we're halfway through and they're 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.880 like Edward, Bella and Jacob are in this tent like 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:50.560 running away from somewhere, and like the boys like Jacob's 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.360 top LUs because he's a wolf, and he's like keeping 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.000 her warm and there she's asleep and they having this 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.680 conversation and we're like, she's my girl, No, she's mine. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.160 And then later on or earlier on, he tries to 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.520 kiss her and like really gets up in her face 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.920 and she punches him. It was like I couldn't believe 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.680 that this behavior was on the screen. If you saw 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.280 a skit about like a dickhead guy, it would be 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.320 every single thing that he did, like in movie two onwards. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.480 But also you're an adult now, Oh there's also that. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.400 So when we're sixteen and watching Twilight and Bella is 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.000 sixteen and she's got these two guys, and ones like 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.640 you know, tall and handsome and the other one's really sweet, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.320 and kind, and they both like her, and you're a 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.120 real teenager and no one likes you, and you're like, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.640 this is so cool, and you get to read it 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.640 from her perspective, so you can insert yourself. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.120 That's the vibe. If you were to go. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.479 Through the whole Twilight series of The Fine Tooth Comb, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.400 you wouldn't even have to dig for the nonsense, like 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.279 the fact that there's one hundred year old guy is 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.120 picking this six year old girl. Weird, so much coded 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:05.960 language around, like this pure white vampire, these animalistic Native Americans, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.160 and it's. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.120 All very coded and very ridiculous. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.760 But the point is it's a kid's movie to be 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.240 viewed from a kid's lens. As soon as you try 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:21.839 and like almost make it a mature piece of film. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.479 It very easily does not hold up. That's where I was, 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.320 so I haven't made the sanction. I think maybe because 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.440 I didn't watch her when I was a teenager, So 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.720 I'm thinking this is high art. Yes, it deserves to 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.800 be critiqued anyway. Basically, what I wanted to do with 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.839 this segment is ask you Edward Jacob. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.599 It's team Edward always, but I have to go on 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.559 record and say that Jacob is the right man for Bella, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.440 the wrong man because she doesn't want him. But in 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:53.599 terms of lifestyles, in terms of interests, they align much better. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.599 Edward is such a rogue choice and he doesn't even 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.679 like Bella. The only reason why he is onto Bella 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.720 hand on heart because you can't read her mind. So 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.839 he's like, oh my god, she's an enigma. She's so different. 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.400 Everybody else is so boring to me because I can 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:10.520 see where I through them. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:12.640 What is that? Wow? 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.840 Owner shit, you don't even like her anyway, Let me 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.880 go that I'm gonna get heated, and I can't do 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.560 this right now. It's just not a good time for me. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.520 This is flex and frooms on Kita. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.719 I went to Bali last week. If you are a 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.760 regular listener to the show, which I'm sure you are, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.080 you would have heard me talk about Bali constantly, talk 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.520 about the time I drowned, talk about the time that 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.720 my sister was dragged along the seafloor as if she 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.479 was driving a car. It's beautiful imagery. So many different 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.520 things happened. But of course I had the plane ride over. Now, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.560 this is something that a lot of people don't consider 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.120 if you are a flyer, you don't know what it's 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.320 like to fly alone. So when I fly ninety percent 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.200 of the time I'm flying solo. I think if for 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.440 someone who's going on a holiday, you're not traveling for business, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.880 you're traveling with somebody else. Oh yeah, I guess so yeah, 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.840 and so you are not privy to the great injustices 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.520 that bequeath a woman. When you're traveling alone, you have 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.080 to get there alone, cost a lot of money, You 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.080 have to check in alone, don't have anyone to talk 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.280 to while you're waiting in line, can't really plan on 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.240 your phone in customs, etc. But then the worst thing happens, 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.000 and that's when you sit down in your chair and 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.840 they've sat you in b Okay, well that's a rookie era. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:26.360 Don't do that. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.840 Don't blame an airline for your inability to plan. It's 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.880 the same thing every time you book a plane ticket. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:34.480 Pick a seat. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:35.480 Simple. 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.120 If for some reason you want to rush that process, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.880 not log back in and click manage booking, then pick seat. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.200 That's on you. You deserve the bee. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:44.840 Yeah. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.480 This trip was the trip to Bali, six and a 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.160 half hours or so from Sydney, midday, so you're flimbing 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.440 at least not budget, right, I was flyimbing budget? Okay, cost, 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.480 I'm flying budget. What do you think this is. I'm 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.000 just saying, it's every day girl boss with you. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.240 I hope that a few of those zeros have a 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.600 masked so you don't have to fly budget budgets. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.120 That's okay? EO. Yes. So I'm sat in the middle 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:13.160 between a man and a woman, and I personally fly 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.400 a fair amount, usually domestic, and if I'm sat in 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.880 the middle by for some God's saken reason, I'm taking 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.560 both armrests. Very bold. All I want to do is 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.360 just continue telling everybody who's going to listen to me 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.840 that if you're sitting in the middle, it is your 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.360 right to have both arm rests. And I did something 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.160 really upset. I did something quite bold and audacious on 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.559 that flight. And as I said, I'm a fucking stickler 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:43.679 for getting both armrests, so much so that I spent 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:49.520 the entire six and a half hour. True, you forget 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.400 that you're a public figure. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.960 You just can't be going on budget airlines demanding arm rests. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.520 It's very unbecomess of you, unbequeathed I've beqreathed. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.880 I'm sitting there and I'm for the six and a 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.600 half our flight. I'm not moving. I'm like this. I 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.240 didn't move my arms. I literally didn't move arms. This 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.760 is Karen behavior, you do realize from my bag, I'm 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:13.640 leaning forward. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.440 What is wrong with you? What do you want so 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.560 badly with these arm rests? They're not even comfortable. 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.560 Because I hate the idea of people encroaching on my 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.559 space as you're encroaching on theirs. Well, no, because they're 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.120 my arm rest and I hate to admit this, but 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.800 I just have to. I asked him to move. I said, 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.560 I'm sorry, excuse me, Do you mind just moving because like, 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.719 I don't have much room? What because I had my 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.520 thing and I move it and then his arms like that? 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.600 Yeah, but you're meant to realistically share it. There is 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:52.840 two armrests between three people you have to share. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.120 No, because they already have one that they don't have 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.120 to share. If I share both of mine, I get none. 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.640 Think about that. Yeah, but that's the way you're receiving it. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.400 You're thinking either I get it all or I get 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:03.880 none of it. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.840 That's my approach to life. I can't tell you. This 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.480 is like you when you told us the other day 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.040 that you're in the movie theater. Yes, you had to 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.560 leave because you needed to have lip balm here, so 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.480 you miss a quarter of the movie. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.079 In that saying, I could, I could tell you that 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.560 that was unreasonable, but I was like, I wanted my 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.360 lips to be moisturized. I wasn't infringing on someone else's comforts, 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.640 so I could have moisturized lips. In this instance, you 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.840 are flying budget. When you're flying budget, this is not 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.600 about I'm entitled too and it's mine. You're all paying 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.680 the exact same price. How you divvy it up is 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.160 dependent on the people around you. If he had said 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.360 to you, no, I'm. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.400 Good, what were we gonna do? Then I kind of 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.880 actually probably would have respected it, but I had to 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.760 speak my truth. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.960 The reason why we speak about plane etiquette so often is, 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.960 like you said, people don't fly often enough to quote 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.880 unquote know better. But the knowing better is the habits 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:03.440 you build from flying so often and feeling as though 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.160 the more I fly, the more I understand. Therefore the 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.640 more I'm entitled to, which is not true because it's 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.920 a clean slate every time unless your perks change, So yeah, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.520 you wouldn't have to worry about the arm rest if 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.520 you're in business, if you're in premium economy, even if 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.360 you've just chosen your seat, you're making these poor people 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.040 accountable for your negligence. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.760 It was a bit negligence, and after I said it, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.640 I had that white hot feeling of yeah, this is 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.199 a mistake. You know it's not. And you do that 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:29.719 quite a bit. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.200 You do these rogues things like wait, can we cut that? 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.360 You can't put that on social And I get it. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.840 I totally think that in the grand scheme of things, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.800 if you have the middle like, you should be able 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.000 to claim the arm rests when you want to. But 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.200 I also feel like it is not worth like your 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:52.480 own discomfort to do so your back, you. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.439 Got your shoulders clench, elbows clench. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.080 What is that about? 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.760 That's all sexy? Literally it's not hot. And back to 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.880 my original point. You walk around as if you don't 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.200 have a profile that someone can come and circumvent and 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.760 find you at you gotta worry about harm reduction. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:12.120 See, but what you don't realize is, regardless of any 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:18.120 kind of profile, I have always been entitled same same. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.719 Don't let go. You're making decisions out of scarcity. If 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.760 I don't have both these arm rests, then I don't 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:29.040 have any What is that? That's scarcy thinking there's enough 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.360 armrest to go around. It's always you're a bit sweet 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.880 to share. I don't know. I wasn't barbing. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.120 If for some reason, I'm in one of those three seaters, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.280 I do the nighborly thing, like if I move so 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.360 someone can get their seat belt, I double check if 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.880 they need to go to the bathroom a lot so 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.280 we can swap seats. If I'm getting up, I'm like, 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.280 do you need me to get your bag for you? You 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:51.520 gotta do the thing. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:52.840 Oh that's nice. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.640 And it always circles back. People are so good to 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.400 be on planes. Like whenever I'm sleeping, because I go 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.800 on a plane, I fall asleep, I always get someone 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:00.360 next He's like. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.080 I saved you some food. Oh my god. Okay, maybe 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.520 I need to change my approach. Yeah, well, okay, consider 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.480 this like you know when you hit rock bottom and 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.240 then like I gotta change. I think I hit my 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:17.120 rock bottom. I gotta change positive, positive motivations only for change. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.080 I'm going to try that next time. That froom's Reddit throat. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.319 There is a listening of shit that I've done and 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.320 they will come out one day and I'm just gonna 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.000 have to wear it picking fights with people on Chapel Straight. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.839 When I made my first viral video, a chick commented saying, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.520 isn't this the chick We've gotten a punch on at 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.800 Chapel Straight? That was me? Yep, what happened wasn't a 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.520 punch on, per se what was like? I'm never in 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.520 the wrong. Never when it comes to like going out 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.560 doing something, I control myself very well. But if someone's 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.240 not controlling themselves to me, towards you, or just in 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.480 your orbit, I'm not going to get into it because 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:02.360 it's going to encourage people to share times when I've 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.559 done unsay things on a night out wow that have 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:10.920 resulted in abusive situations. I'm on the receiving end of 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:16.920 the abuse. Anyway. This has been very recuminating. It's never 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.959 my fault. I'm always a victim. I'd never want to 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.160 se in the middle. And if I don't want to 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:20.680 take your home. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:21.600 Rest fle. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.480 Have you ever seen worn or bought pheromone perfume? 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.240 No? But I know about it, but no, would you 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.920 buy some in my threads it hasn't worked. And also 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.480 I don't want to say so you haven't bought any, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.800 but in your experience, well, I've tried it on. I 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.320 think it's I think it's a g up. I don't 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:46.120 think it works. Pheromones are natural. I don't want any 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.680 unnatural intervention make me smell like a tuberos and then 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.120 be gone. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.280 They say that pheromone perfume is made from steroids that 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.840 come from sweat glands, and I was like, okay, so 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:03.720 how are we almost farming pheromones and people? Where in 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.440 what facility is this happening? It doesn't feel above board 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.600 to me, because in what world are you getting a 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:09.960 bunch of people in a room and saying I'm going 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.560 to soak up your scent? How are you extracting it? 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.800 Come to find out, it's not even coming from humans, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.160 the pheromone perfume. It's not even human pheromones. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:19.840 Listen to this. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.920 It's a compound made of synthetic animal musk and chemicals 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.120 that stimulate the nose, and it's designed to make you 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:33.400 smell sexier to others. But it's even unclear if humans 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.080 can detect pheromones. So what is it marketing? 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.600 It's marketing. I hate it and ill I imagine buying 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:47.560 it because you want to be sexier. Everyone scary. This 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:52.280 is my pay for its secrets. Yeah, I'm not about 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:57.680 that life. Anything that has chemicals in a way that's 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:02.440 not making me smell like swea something sweet yack. I 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.160 don't want you to like change my biochemistry. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.880 I don't think it's doing that. I think that's the mark. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.960 That's what the marketing makes us feel it's doing. But 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.320 realistically it's synthetic. It's synthetic animal musky something something. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.400 It sounds like when McDonald's has the big fat in 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.800 the ice cream machine? Do they? That's that's the myth. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.160 So it's me, but it's persisted for many many years 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:31.000 in generation an old wives tale. Not about that life. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.920 Maybe we need to buy some and numb try it 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.680 out because you always smell good, thank you. I don't 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.000 think i've smelled you before. Cool. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.120 You're listening to Flex and Frooms on kit. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.680 Let's talk Tesla elon musk yeah or nae boppa flop 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.160 nay controversial and I. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.520 Feel like I have high elon musk literacy. You know, 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.440 like I know about him, and I nay used to 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:58.840 be Yeah anyway. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:04.920 Ooh eons has made some very controversial, very stifling remarks 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.000 about work from home culture. As we know, given the 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.800 Great twenty twenty two, we spent many a month working 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.199 from home and proved to a lot of employers that 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.199 it can be done, and it can be done well. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.080 Really isn't necessary for a lot of people to go 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.520 into a physical workspace through their best work, and now 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.000 that people have had a real taste of work life 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.240 balance in terms of waking up every day and choosing 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.400 to prioritize your day and the weight it works best 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.440 for you and your employer, and doing a job well, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.960 people should be giving that freedom and that luxury. It 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.919 doesn't work for every single industry, but I think it 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.399 works for more than we give ourselves credit. For a 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.760 couple of days ago, Elon Musk made a statement ordering 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:52.000 staff to return to the office effective immediately, full time, 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.480 and he's declared that working from home is no longer 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.119 susceptible now. The thing is, Elon Musk has made a 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.240 lot of trends start in terms of like startup culture, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:07.080 mean culture, social media culture. I wouldn't say he's the 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.600 leader in what happens in our work lives day to day. 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.840 But a lot of things, he says, do get taken 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:17.360 into considerations. When this big dog tech mogul says we're 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.679 not doing work from home, people listen. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.359 There is pricker. Listen to this. He says. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.960 People who are unwilling to abide by the new rules 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:28.920 can pretend to work somewhere else. 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.040 I can't. A joker. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.320 He says, everyone at Tesla is required to spend a 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.359 minimum of forty hours in the office per week. 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.879 Isn't that how much paper works? Yeah, that's the gag. 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:46.199 Okay, And he said, if you don't show up, we 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:50.200 will assume you've resigned. So this is like heavy hitting stuff. 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.639 This is not hey everyone, it's you know time, So 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.919 back to normal. Let's get back in the office. He's like, 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.439 if you don't come in, your fired, babe, Like you 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.480 are done for And people are of two minds. Half 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.520 of the community is saying that he has just given 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:10.200 other tech startups the golden ticket to poach really amazing 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.600 talent who want freedom right, who want the option to 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.760 work from home, work from an office, and other companies 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.879 will offer the exact same amount and give people freedom right. 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.879 On the other hand, others are saying that perhaps a 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.280 lot of us young people millennials have gotten too comfortable 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.119 with the idea that we should have any type of 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.879 agency when it comes to work, and if someone's paying 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.280 us a certain fee to do a job, we should 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:35.960 do it as they're telling. 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:36.439 Us to do it. 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.040 Both schools of thoughts make a lot of sense, but 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.800 I will say it's very interesting for someone in Elon 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.159 Musk's position, someone who's been toatter as being at the 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:51.399 forefront of you know, progressive change in you know careers, No, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.760 when it comes to career, to be like, no, we're 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.800 not doing that. We're not doing any of that. Stop 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.640 with that snowflake stuff. Get to the office. We talk 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.560 about contrarians a lot. That is what Elon Musk is. Yeah, 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.840 this is part of the email that he wrote, which 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.399 is so hectic. He says, Tesla, what we are asking 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.160 for is less than what we ask of factory workers. 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:16.199 If there are particularly exceptional contributors for whom this is impossible, 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:21.640 our review and approve those exceptions directly. Moreover, the office 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.679 must be a main TESLA office, not a remote branch 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.480 unrelated to the job duties. For example, being responsible for 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.399 three month factory human relations but having an office in 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.840 another state. Thanks, Elon. This is hectic, and I wonder 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.040 if other corporations will follow suit and be like, wait 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.720 a second for a second, there, you guys are about 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:42.679 to unionize. 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.480
