WEBVTT - The Foods That Will Last During The Apocalypse 🧟 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:02.759 The Flex and Rooms Daily Podcast. 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.200 Hi everyone, it's Flexing Frooms. 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:12.200 Hang off it. You look at your face? Okay, is 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.880 not talking to me? I am having talking to Brook producer. 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:19.320 I don't know what happened Brook. 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.400 Whenever I say hello, oh, goodbye, Brook gives me this 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.920 little snider look as if I'm being an absolute clown. 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:27.960 I'm literally just looking. 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.240 We got one of these things going on in school, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.000 where like someone looks at you and you can't stop laughing. 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:35.920 But it's the opposite. 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.240 I can't stop having emotional outbursts. 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.000 And you've said it so many times, I think you 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:42.519 believe it. What were we talking about in one of 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:47.240 the other episodes that the illusory effect, or we hear something, 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.239 the more likely we are to believe it's true. You 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.600 keep telling us, we keep looking at you, so you 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:53.519 believe it. 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.080 I'm paranoid. Anyway, today's podcast, we are going to be 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.720 talking about how much income. 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.240 Yeah, the happiness income threshold. Some studies came out in 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.840 twenty ten in the US and then was brought back 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.880 to life revived in twenty twenty one. I have no doubt, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.440 due to COVID and other situations that we're impacting people's income. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.000 But back in the day, they deduced that there was 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.720 a certain number of certain number of cash flows per 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.120 year that would help you maintain a very basic level 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.240 of happiness and freem and ire debating whether or not 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.400 that is true or not true for us, and conceptually, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.080 if there was a number, what would it be? Let's 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.920 get it flex and frooms fle Sie. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.520 We love to talk about the apocalypse? 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.880 Do we love it? Now? Before you were just humoring me, 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.800 but now you love it. That's the conversion process. 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.680 It's a conversion And I also have a lot of 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.760 respect for my co hosts. So I'm just trying to 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.600 get involved in things that you liked, to have more 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:48.200 in common with you. 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.240 I don't feel the same pressure and. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.160 It shows well. Fart Content Place tell us a story 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.800 about what happens when you do diarrhea. So I came 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.680 across this post on Reddit and this is. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.440 Do you frequent and read it these days? There's been 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.960 a specific pipeline, And I don't know when I started. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.920 It is it started in twenty fifteen. For me, I 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.920 was going for some relationship advice, then got myself on 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.280 the front page, like the homepage, and started getting interested 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.400 in other little links and crypto. So I came across 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.520 this post which was a bottle of vegemite, glass jar 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.400 of vegemite, and on the bottom. 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:27.280 Is it a glass jar? Bottle? Oh, you make it 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.520 too easy. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.079 It was a glass jar and the bottom of the 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.040 glass shart it had its expiry date. Do you want 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.200 to know when that expiry date was? 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.959 Can I guess? Yeah? Ninety four? 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.919 Oh so close ninety five? 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.440 Ooh, it's this bottle. 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.000 This glass shard came to be in the uninety nine five, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.920 which was when I was born. You were one years old. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.960 And what we found out in looking at the picture. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.000 Some of the comments pointed out that vegemite never expires, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.840 and it never expires because it's full of salt. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.480 Never well, had the picture tell you that? 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.280 I don't know. I think someone did some googling and 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.120 supposedly vegemite never expire. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.200 A bunch of kitchen start eating sixty year old VEGEMI 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.399 you like, I don't know, Reddit said. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.200 Well, it turns out vegemite is not the only food 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.600 stuff that supposedly never goes off. Here are some others 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.079 and this is for you to start going and buying 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.919 pubbing the apocalypse eventually does occur. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.600 We're in it now, but I won't get into it. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.320 Well, tell me if you got these in new cupboard honey. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.880 Honey may crystallize over time, but it won't actually expire 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.680 or become unusual because of course it's made from the 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:37.360 natural elements. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.320 Do natural elements not expire? 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.200 Some like my spirits? Well? 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.560 Of course, all right. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.279 Sugar, both white and brown sugar can be used indefinitely 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.720 if they're stored in an airtime container, white rice, salt, 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:58.000 corn starch, vinegar, pure vanilla extract, maple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:03:59.480 powdered milk, and popcorn. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:00.640 It's quite good. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:02.040 That's like to be essential. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.400 Yeah, you can do a bunch of stuff like that. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.440 A lot of vitamins and minerals there. Definitely bake a cake, 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.160 for sure, a mug. 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:14.920 Cake, scones, damper, pretty little pancake. I might need eggs, No, you. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.839 Don't need eggs anyway. That's some really useful information that 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.640 I'll be taking a heat of in the next ten 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:22.760 to fifteen years. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.840 Now, now is the. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.040 Time stop it. I don't know how you think there's 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.680 an apocalypse so you can still find a way to 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:29.279 come to work. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.240 Literally, we're gonna talk about that, and I'm in the trenches. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.000 What did I say? Personal? Hell, I know the apocalypse 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.480 is happening. Everyone's like, Eh, let's make jokes. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.480 This is flex and frooms on cada. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.920 What's that sound of FLEXI? It's the sound of starting 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.480 a new segment, cracking it open. And this was gonna 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:49.960 be a good one. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:56.440 Take it away, FORMI have you ever thought well and 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.640 hard and diligently about how much money you actually need 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.680 to mean happiness? 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.560 Ah, it's a very loaded question. My first initial thought 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.200 is I need to own a house that I own 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.720 out right. Okay, therefore it's collateral. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.320 Give me a number, babe, give me a number. Maybe 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.320 not for you the average person. How much money think 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.760 the average person needs per year? Yeah? 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.120 Too many variables for me, for someone my age, in 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.440 my life circumstance. The minimum that I need to be happy. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:24.800 My rent right now. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.880 Is oh, please please. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.559 I can't extrapolate money's like as they put a number 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.760 to it. No, because I can't extrapolate, extrapolate like money's 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.960 inherent value for verse, like my own ego. If I 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.480 find it very difficult to separate the two. So therefore 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.200 I don't have a number. If I'm picking a number 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.680 that i'd love, a million dollars a year. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:51.479 Okay, not the question I asked, Thank you. You know, 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.920 there's this thing called a happiness income threshold, and it is, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.680 as I described, the amount of money one needs to 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:02.880 make to maintain a base level of happiness. Now, for 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.520 I only have us darted for this, so rip to 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.520 anyone who's not in the US, all of us listening. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.560 But according to a study done in twenty ten, the 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:16.880 average US citizen would need seventy five thousand dollars per 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.960 year to be happy. And at the time, fifty k 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.880 was the median income. So it's about, like, you know, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.760 a quarter more than you would anticipate. Now you said 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.599 a million dollars is what you'd need to be happy. 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.520 I'm sure you're quite happy now with what you're making, 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:32.960 so at about twenty five percent on top of that'd 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.000 be quite good. And that's just per year. Now, the 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.280 important thing there is to know is there is an 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.320 income threshold for everyone. There is a point in time 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.320 that if your income drops below that threshold, no matter 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.320 what it is, you will be unhappy about it. So 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.440 the solution is figure out what it is diligently, not 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.840 so you can budget, but just so you know. So 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.360 if you know your income threshold is fifty k, like, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.000 this is important for you to remember. So going below 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.039 it is not just like that wouldn't be chill. It's 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.840 going to affect your your ability to conjure up happiness 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:05.400 for yourself. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.600 Find it very hard to reconcile with because a lot 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.040 of people can't dictate how much they get paid. I 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.040 don't have enough time to take a second job, Whereas 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.000 I think it's more hopeful to think this is the 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:17.960 number like. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.760 For you just that same like people have said this 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.000 who the people who did the study, They've said this 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.640 is the number I would need to maintain happiness because 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.480 they've realized that their happiness is tied to well, if 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.200 I can pay my rent and if I can buy 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.760 nice things, and if I can do this at a minimum, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.920 this number would be good for me. And maybe why 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.280 you're struggling with it is because it's conceptual for you, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.160 where a lot of people money is practical. 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.640 Really yeah, no, I'm actually thinking about the practicalities of it. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.320 Says who's had a million dollars to be happy. 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.960 I'm just like doing manifestation. No. I think, of course, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.560 if you don't have a certain amount of money, then 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.960 you're not going to be happy because all these other 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.880 pressures start happening. And also because to budget and take 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.320 things that promote happiness, like going on holidays, you need 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.120 a certain money money to do that, and I know 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.640 a lot of people can't. So I understand the practicalities 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.800 of it. But me personally, as I said, I can't 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.800 extrapolate money's actual value from my ego, and I have 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.400 the opportunities to make more money at times. 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:21.680 Okay, elon. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:24.400 Crypto gottair. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:28.640 First it was Bezos and now it's fumy musk like 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.319 to get around. I'm ragging on you, Okay, okay, wrap 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.160 it up hard sometimes. So the question is how much 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.200 money does one need to be happy? It's philosophical because 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.880 the question, as Fremis explained, cannot be answered simply yes 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:50.280 at all. But based on studies they can deduce that well, 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.560 in twenty ten, they could for Americans that seventy five 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.000 K would be enough to sustain happiness because it would 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:01.040 take into consideration all of a person's basic fundamental needs. 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.200 And we're not talking like food, water, whatever, but you know, 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.280 little luxuries and things that would keep you happy. Now, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.360 for me, the contradiction is, if we don't know the 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.480 amount of money it's going to take to feel a 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.480 sense of happiness, then is it counterintuitive to tie in 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.840 success to money in any capacity? Perhaps? Right, because if 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.400 I could say, you know, a million flatter years is 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.760 what it's going to take, then working towards a million 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.760 flat a year is what it's going to take, right, Yeah, 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.559 if one hundred k year is what it's going to take. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.120 And this is not this is not to say that 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.280 there are things outside of money that don't make you happy, 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.959 but we're presuming that income is tied to a lot 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.920 of what's generating our happiness right now. And so if 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.920 we know the number, that we can work towards it, 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.280 and it gives us also the buffer to you know, 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.079 the freedom that the money will give us, gives us 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.880 like the emotional energy to work on life's greater issues 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.360 that money cannot fix. But if there is no number, 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.000 and it's this infinite amount of money and this concept 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.720 that's tied to so much more than just the practicalities 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.000 of life, like ego and pride and whatever, then how 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.200 do you manage that for yourself? And like you in particular, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.040 m I. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.320 Think it's always important to maintain financial literacy, and I 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.679 think sometimes, especially when things aren't going your way, it's 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.440 easy to just turn a blind eye and also like 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.520 to be financially literally you need reasons why, Like I 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.840 feel like for certain people, it's easy to be like, yeah, 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.800 I need more money, so I'm gonna work harder, But 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.280 for the vast majority of people that's not possible. So 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.679 therefore it's a little bit depressing to like if you 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.120 were to sit down and actually budget and figure out 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.040 what you need. For a lot of people that don't 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.840 have the mobility to then get that money, sometimes it's 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.400 nice to be going in blind, going way blind, like 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.840 just vibing out, like just getting your paycheck and like 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.160 adapting your sense of happiness rather than getting more money 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:52.920 because I think. 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.520 Yeah, yeah, I see, I see what you mean. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:59.760 I think a more accurate discussion and metric would be 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.920 like how little money do you need to be happy? Like, oh, 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.920 what are the total essentials? Because so often, like for me, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.120 I'd be like I need to make this amount of money. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.240 But let's say some tragedy befalls me. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:11.720 Don't do it. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.440 It's not gonna happen, Okay, But if it were, I 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.440 think about that, because I need to think about like 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.080 if I didn't, if I didn't have enough money to 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:19.720 do X y Z. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.800 The cloud did not sustain itself. If if you do 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.600 not mutate or replicate. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.400 Then yeah, it might feel a bit shit. But so 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.280 long as you keep I think, so long as you 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.480 keep an idea of like what is actually integrity, happiness, 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.840 and then also what gives you benefits that you now 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.680 feel as if you deserve that. If I had to 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.480 look at it clearly for myself, I'd be like, so 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.840 long as I can find a way to go home 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.640 to Melbourne, so long as I can either live somewhere 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.320 close to my friends or have a car to get 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.760 me there. So long as I had money to like 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.920 buy a sandwich from the shop which is this place, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.400 the shop wine bars, this place that my friends live 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.320 near that I love to go do decide. I think 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.560 I think it's really important for anyone. Even if you 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.400 decide that you need a million dollars as a paycheck 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.079 each here to make you happy. It's a fun exercise 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.400 to figure out what is the absolute bare minimum moneyed 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.080 because therefore, you know you might not get down to 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.640 the bare minimum, but then you can fully appreciate the 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.200 things that you use with your disposable income. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.080 Parent And we also know happiness is fleeting anyway, so 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:24.839 inspire for. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.160 That we need to interrogate what happiness is before that 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.559 question has any like real I guess there needs to 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:34.920 be more parameters around that question. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.600 Well, I think that most people recognize happiness to be 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.360 a fleeting like gift, right, like a moment brought me 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.720 happiness and it's going to go away, and another moment 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.800 might bring me happiness. And they talk about key areas 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.280 of life that do that, like marriage, kids, moving into 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.920 a new place, going on a vacation with your friends. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.560 These are all things that can trigger happiness for you, 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.920 and the average person isn't maintaining or sustaining and underlying 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.800 like I'm happy every day all the time. So I 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.400 think what the question is kind of asking is what 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.360 is it going to cost for you to maintain those 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.760 areas of your life, like for you to have enough 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.160 income to even facilitate dating, you know, because that's an 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.800 expensive practice if you're doing it properly. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.400 That's a real killer. Hope, I don't talk about it's. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.320 A real killer. Similarly, you know, if you know that 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.240 you need a little girls, trippy little Europe, you know, 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.720 once once every couple of years, and what's that going 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.320 to cost? And these days a pretty penny m. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.960 Bit of a euro troop September me start saving doll 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.600 I'm going into that blind. I don't have a budget. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.360 Do you have savings? Yeah? Okay, good, but like but like, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.760 is this like your life savings or like the holiday savings? 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.600 Oh, I don't have any delineage. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.840 Yeah, of course now all goes into one. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.320 But no, I'm sure in the back of my mind, 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:53.640 like I want to buy a jacket, but I'm like, 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.640 I'm just gonna wait till I go to Europe, go 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.000 to the Mater Stolls in London. 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.679 Yeah, part of a jacket. You're a sensible slender anywhere, right, 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:00.280 You're not? 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.280 I am. Currently I'm spending a lot of money on food. 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:04.839 Yeah, but you love food? 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.000 Yeah, I know, just after going many years of like 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.480 not buying it and fully home prepping. My meals were 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:11.080 very scant. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.240 Oh you're eating out? Oh yeah, what's going on? 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:16.240 I don't know. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.000 I just like I'm in this moment in my life 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:23.680 room prioritizing personal happiness because I'm single and I feel 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:29.000 I'm unlearning a lot of like habits that actually brought 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.880 me a lot of anxiety. I need to figure it out, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.080 but essentially with that feeling of like I can't do 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.920 this because tomorrow I've got to wake up at this time, 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.120 like recalibrating how important that is to you, and like 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.200 going into that blind and feeling all of this kind 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.360 of anxiety that if I take away the anxiety, I'm 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.120 going to be like X y Z, all of these 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.720 negative emotions. When in actuality, if you get over the 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.520 hump of feeling like, oh, I'm anxious to not be anxious, 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.200 then you become less anxious. This is a pipeline that 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.240 I'm yet to put into words, but I feel it 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.120 in my brain and I think it has to to 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:00.520 do with this. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.920 I like that. We'll talk about it more when you 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:03.520 can figure it out. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:09.880 Sounds good, so sweetie, to anyone listening to this podcast, 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:14.760 my ass has everyone's pissed me off about my stuttering. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:19.560 It's not very nice, guys. Okay, cut the tape. Cut 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:20.600 the tape. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:22.680 This is flex and frooms. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.400 I feel like it's every second week we're hearing about 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.640 how Nordic countries are a utopia of their own, the 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.160 best place to be for various reasons of which I 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.360 cannot get into because I've forgotten. But you know it's 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.360 been said before, no need to fact check now. I 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.120 found out recently, though, that in Denmark and other Nordic 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.440 countries it is, and I quote common to let babies 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:51.160 nap alone outdoors even when temperatures reach negative sixteen degrees Fahrenheim. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.880 Now you might be asking, what's negative sixteen degrees Fahrenheim. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.760 Sixteen more percent of ice? 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.840 I'll answer that and celsius or. 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.000 Maybe one hundred and sixty percent more ice. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.280 Huh. Like it's negative twenty six degrees celsius. It's cold, 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.720 it's very cold. And I was googling, like why that 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.720 would happen? What for what reason would a baby need 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.320 to sleep outside when it's that cold or ever? But 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.200 apparently fresh air can induce a deep slumber and also 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.080 decrease the exposure to germs. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:31.640 Yeah, you get into a deep smer buck, that's how 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.320 it starts. You stop, you start breathing less when you 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:34.840 are phrasing. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:35.840 Huh. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.960 Yeah, it's like people who die on Mount Everest. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.320 Oh my gosh, is that why when people are dying 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.000 they start yawning heaps? Because I know that yawning happens, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.240 not just like when you're about to carck it, but 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.880 if you're in an unsavory environment and you notice someone yawning, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.200 snap them awake, because yawning is what happens when you're 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:59.560 not breathing regularly, not getting enough air. You're lunky do big. Yeah, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.080 So if you ask sleepy, breathe deeper. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.359 Not if you've got the death right, although you across 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:04.800 what that is. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.240 I don't even get into it now. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:11.600 Okay, you're listening to flex and Frooms on keda Flexi. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.000 On Saturday, I went to a concert, a live show. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.520 It was at a venue called Golden Age. It is 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.879 a cinema and a bar in Surrey Hills, which is 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.399 Sydney's like CBD adjacent suburb. Yeah, very cool. And I 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.280 went with my frand and someone that I know is 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.680 playing their show. It's a very intimate little venue, like 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.640 there's probably fits fifty people tops. It's very like fifty 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.160 style sexy. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:41.400 Moody, velvet mood light, warm tone, brownie ready, very decadent, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.560 indulgent and sexy. It's gorgeous, like a great first date place. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:46.679 So many a first date. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:53.040 There, you have really into that, but we don't. So 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:58.760 at this concert. The person's music is electronic experimental. Yeah, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.359 so as that translates people who are maybe not have 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.280 very like specific genres that they like, like rock or 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:04.639 kind of. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.000 For the space, you'd expect it to be like jazzy, chill, 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.280 like shoe gaze, maybe some slow alternative R and B, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.120 but definitely not a venue that you'd expect electronic music 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:16.240 to be playing out. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.280 No, okay, not at all. So I was looking at 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.040 the stage and in front of the stage was a 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.359 booth with the people in the booth their back was 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.240 turned to the stage, and they're talking. It's for women 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.879 i'd say in their mid forties or fifties, and they 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.879 just gasbagging, having a good time. They clearly didn't know 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.359 that there was going to be a gig on. The 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.879 person who is the performer starts performing. So the performer, yeah, yeah, 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.159 So the performer starts and we can see this as 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.600 the audience. But apparently the woman. The women in these 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.199 booth would look up at him and be like, oh, 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.080 like give him full greases. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.120 Like he was disrupting their time, as if he wasn't 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.119 the person everyone else in the venues there. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.920 To see precisely. And then like two songs in, he 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.800 looks down at them and he says, what was the 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.440 look he gave me earlier? Like, why are we looking 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:03.480 at me like you hate me? 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.000 Not breaking the fourth wall? 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.760 Yeah exactly, and they're kind of like what they're kind 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.439 of laughing. Two more songs in and he goes, you 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.160 guys look like you're enjoying it now again. 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.160
