Speaker 1: Hello, am my, Gremlins and Goblins. We are backed podcast
Speaker 1: edition for me taking selfies off herself. So whom's for? What?
Speaker 1: We do not know? Boy?
Speaker 2: Not really my mum.
Speaker 1: Either way, you don't need to share your business, It's.
Speaker 2: Okay, but any opportunity I'm just waiting to get into
Speaker 2: a relationship so I can completely decimate it by sharing
Speaker 2: personal information.
Speaker 1: Oh will you? Yeah? Oh fantastic.
Speaker 2: You run out of material? Flex? You know, I mean
Speaker 2: the trenches. Always think, what do you.
Speaker 1: Mean running out? You post ten stories a day. It's
Speaker 1: not even cracking the surface.
Speaker 2: So let's get to it.
Speaker 3: This is flex and frooms on Kada.
Speaker 1: Would you believe me if I told you that there
Speaker 1: are some countries in the world that don't share the
Speaker 1: same calendar as us. No, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: into the simulation theory, and I won't. But I was
Speaker 1: scrolling through TikTok as I do no free press riptoc
Speaker 1: and I came across a video that I thought was
Speaker 1: fake news. Because what I trying to do these days
Speaker 1: to be more more discerning. I take most things as
Speaker 1: fact when they come from a confidence speaker. This person
Speaker 1: said that Ethiopia has its own calendar, not Ethiopia, and
Speaker 1: like the rest of the African countries are in their
Speaker 1: own time zone. Ethiopia in itself as the country, has
Speaker 1: its own calendar. Really, while the rest of us no, no, no,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, it's not your time to speak.
Speaker 1: If you want to speak, what do you do? Put
Speaker 1: your hand up, thank you, missus flack. Ethiopia has a
Speaker 1: thirteen month calendar. Ethiopia is also in twenty fourteen. Really,
Speaker 1: I swear down, I don't know how it works. I
Speaker 1: don't know why it works. But they're in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: So they've just come off the back of coney.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well this makes sense because Nat who's one
Speaker 2: of the other presenters on, he's from Ethiopia and doesn't
Speaker 2: even know like his age.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. This is the thing. And the
Speaker 1: other thing that's getting me right is, let's take it
Speaker 1: back to the Mayan calendar. Those of you who were
Speaker 1: born and raised by the Internet know that according to
Speaker 1: the Mayan calendar, the end of the world was twenty twelve, right,
Speaker 1: Some suggest that wasn't like the end of days, Like
Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, the bottom of the earth
Speaker 1: opened up and swallowed as whole, but the end of
Speaker 1: things as they were right. It was twenty twelve in
Speaker 1: Ethiopia when COVID happened.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm a conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: We don't want to know that, but it's adding up.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm I'm shook and I agree with you for once.
Speaker 3: This is flex and frooms on kit.
Speaker 1: I think I'm like the perfect general. Trivia person asked
Speaker 1: me to go too layers deeper. I really can't, but
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of surface information up top. Most recently,
Speaker 1: I discovered the best job in the world. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you a chance. What do you think it is.
Speaker 2: I think it's somebody who is working on a cruise
Speaker 2: ship in the Bahamas.
Speaker 1: No, not even close. Second. Guess it has something to
Speaker 1: do with funerals.
Speaker 2: Oh dear, the person that does the makeup. Ooh, that
Speaker 2: can be kind of fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's quite good. But best job in the world
Speaker 1: probably not. Okay. I came across this guy who knows
Speaker 1: his name not important, but he is and his job
Speaker 1: is crucial. He calls himself a coffin confessor. What he
Speaker 1: does is he goes to the funerals of the deceased,
Speaker 1: and he reveals the secrets that they never shared when
Speaker 1: they were alived. So imagine I leave us earlier than expected.
Speaker 1: I hire this guy to come to the funeral and
Speaker 1: let you know a few things I wish I would
Speaker 1: have said, but didn't.
Speaker 2: Do you have anything that you would say that you haven't.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about later. For now, I want you to
Speaker 1: hear the information from his mouth.
Speaker 4: Like crush funerals on behalf of the day deased. My
Speaker 4: first client was Graham. He was a gentleman that i'd
Speaker 4: been investigating a claim for. I got to know him
Speaker 4: only for a short while. He had cancer, he was
Speaker 4: close to death. We got to talking about death in
Speaker 4: the afterlife and all things surrounding death, and I suggested
Speaker 4: he do his own eulogy. He said he'd been to
Speaker 4: plenty of funerals where eulogies just aren't shown, and so
Speaker 4: I suggested I crash his funeral for him, and he
Speaker 4: took me up on the offer. He wanted me to
Speaker 4: out his best mate for trying to sleep with his
Speaker 4: wife while he was on his deathbed. He also asked
Speaker 4: me to remove three people from the congregation that he
Speaker 4: hadn't seen in thirty years, So why were they paying
Speaker 4: their respects now when they could have seen him when
Speaker 4: he was alive. They stand up interrupt the funeral service
Speaker 4: and announced that his best mate's got to sit down,
Speaker 4: shut up, or over off because the man in the
Speaker 4: coffin's got something to say. And this is what it is.
Speaker 4: And I'll open the envelope and I'll read.
Speaker 1: Exactly what was first thing that I want to just
Speaker 1: draw to the forefront. Where's the patient confidentiality with this one?
Speaker 1: Should we know his name was Graham, that his best
Speaker 1: mate tried to sleep with his wife and to get
Speaker 1: three people from the wedding. If we just do some
Speaker 1: reverse engineering, some quick google Google, I could find it
Speaker 1: who Graham was.
Speaker 2: Dracon Maybe I think that's a bit ambitious.
Speaker 1: Aside from that, what do you think about this job?
Speaker 1: I think it is disgustingly fascinating.
Speaker 2: No, I think it's terrible.
Speaker 3: Really, yes?
Speaker 2: What how like? Just imagine being a family and this
Speaker 2: random man rocks up to the funeral. You're grieving, You.
Speaker 1: See, that's where you've got it mixed up. Not everybody
Speaker 1: grieves at a funeral. Sometimes funerals are celebrating, celebrating life.
Speaker 2: Well, either way, he is rocking up and ruining that
Speaker 2: celebration or that commiseration. And I'm sorry to this poor
Speaker 2: man who has passed away, But grow some courage and
Speaker 2: say what you want to say on your deathbed.
Speaker 1: Is this a bit no?
Speaker 2: What I think it's just like, if you want to
Speaker 2: say it, you gotta get up the courage to say something.
Speaker 2: Why would he not he's dying anyway? What No, I'm
Speaker 2: going to stop you there. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think the point is for the person that's
Speaker 1: dying to feel vindicated or excited. I think it's for
Speaker 1: the people to feel responsible.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: It's like in someone's death, there's no time for you
Speaker 1: to back chain and be like, wait, but this is
Speaker 1: what I meant, and I didn't mean to you, and
Speaker 1: I wasn't like chatting to your wife. No, you just
Speaker 1: got to copy it. This is what it's like to
Speaker 1: not have closure. People live without their whole lives. Think
Speaker 1: about the guy that's died. He's taken to his grave
Speaker 1: this information has felt lonely and distant from the people
Speaker 1: that he loves most. It's only fair that they know
Speaker 1: that in a way that they can't do anything about
Speaker 1: it well.
Speaker 2: I I want to know if he even attempted to
Speaker 2: tell them.
Speaker 1: It's not the point. I think it's a great job,
Speaker 1: so you'd be happy. Not a great job. I think
Speaker 1: it's a great service. I don't know what the going
Speaker 1: rate is for that, Like is it per funeral, is
Speaker 1: it an ongoing thing? It could be anything though, Let's
Speaker 1: think of the plus side. For example, the coffin confessor
Speaker 1: could be somebody who is like an impartial body who's like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is what was really meant to happen. This is
Speaker 1: what you never found out. I signed an NDA, or
Speaker 1: they sign an NDA. They couldn't tell you in their
Speaker 1: real life, this is what really went down.
Speaker 2: So like they are a spy, there's.
Speaker 1: They're a private investigator. They're just delivering the info. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's a modern day superhero, a vigilante on
Speaker 1: a mission to spread truth, a truth seeker, a top bloke,
Speaker 1: a top bloke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to beg to differ and I'm going
Speaker 2: to kill this segment and move on.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Flex and Frooms on Kada.
Speaker 2: We're playing one of my favorite segments. This is am
Speaker 2: I the Asshole, where you call in you text in
Speaker 2: and you give us your scenario and we're gonna decide.
Speaker 2: Is it you that's the asshole or are you up
Speaker 2: against one of the largest assholes of all time?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: The final boss, Today's am I the asshole? Comes courtesy
Speaker 2: of me? This is what it is.
Speaker 1: This is your individual story.
Speaker 2: Oh no, but like I'm bringing this so you found it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 2: My husband and I are having a disagreement about the
Speaker 2: appropriate level of our teenage daughter's modesty around the house.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh.
Speaker 2: No, I don't like it allready.
Speaker 1: Just don't be weird, period, Let's just stop there.
Speaker 2: She is a beautiful girl and has a high level
Speaker 2: of confidence about her body, which is fantastic. I know
Speaker 2: there are many young women who do not have that.
Speaker 1: Who's writing in the mum or the dad?
Speaker 2: The mum great? But as part of that, since summer,
Speaker 2: she has become quite comfortable wearing very little around our home.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why it rubs me the wrong way.
Speaker 2: She's often in her underthings, but it does. My husband
Speaker 2: thinks I'm being controlling and sending the wrong message about
Speaker 2: owning her body and positivity, etc. Thoughts are welcome.
Speaker 1: This is not how I thought it was gonna go.
Speaker 2: You thought it was gonna be the dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, dad.
Speaker 2: What is our advice for her? I would say, I'm
Speaker 2: with the dad on this one. Body positivity. However, I
Speaker 2: think the buck stops when you go into the kitchen zone.
Speaker 2: I think you must wear pants in the kitchen, even
Speaker 2: if it's like a boy short brief. If you're wearing
Speaker 2: nothing on your legs, foul.
Speaker 1: Who's wearing nothing? This little girl no underwear. This woman
Speaker 1: is wearing underwear but no pants. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2: I don't want your bare legs in the kitchen. What
Speaker 2: I don't know. Something about seeing undies in the kitchen
Speaker 2: like really rubs me the wrong way. That said i'll
Speaker 2: wear undies in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Oh, you just don't want to see it.
Speaker 2: No, I don't want anyone else to.
Speaker 1: This is not just limited to the daughter. It's like
Speaker 1: nobody can wear undies in the kitchen around you. No,
Speaker 1: that's fair, it's disgusting. I don't feel that strongly about it.
Speaker 1: I said initially that I thought this would be swapped.
Speaker 1: I thought the dad would be having an issue with
Speaker 1: it and the mum wouldn't be. I don't like the
Speaker 1: way this is going. I have read a lot of
Speaker 1: psychological articles where it's very like Sigmund Fredy, where they
Speaker 1: say a lot of mothers not a lot. Some are
Speaker 1: in competition with their daughters because they see themselves reflected
Speaker 1: in their daughters. Don't want them to be seen as equals,
Speaker 1: and do they create these weird dynamics, apply a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure, and that's why a lot of mums and
Speaker 1: daughters have very thwarted relationships. It's about competition, not community
Speaker 1: in this instance, though, Mom, stop start cut it out.
Speaker 1: If your daughter can't be comfortable in her own home,
Speaker 1: where can she be comfortable? You think that if you
Speaker 1: stifle her in that dynamic, she's going to be a
Speaker 1: free being out there. No, she's going to be as
Speaker 1: judgmental as you, as limited as you, and as awkward
Speaker 1: as you're making this. It shouldn't be a thing. It's
Speaker 1: one thing if you're saying, hey, babes, clothes are fun.
Speaker 1: If you want to wear them, fine if you don't. Also,
Speaker 1: it's making me feel a bit uncomfortable. It's not just
Speaker 1: to see what's everyone. I don't want anyone being this naked
Speaker 1: in public areas because we're all adultsy I think it's inappropriate,
Speaker 1: but just singling her out in a way that even
Speaker 1: your husband is like, get a grip, babe, let it go.
Speaker 2: I want to know that. Are they all like walking
Speaker 2: around in nunties in the house.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But also the fact that the
Speaker 1: dad is talking about, you know how the mom's not
Speaker 1: being inclusive or progressive. It's not about sexuality, it's about
Speaker 1: openness anyway. She's sexualizing her daughter, that's the problem, and
Speaker 1: then holding her daughter to standards that the daughter didn't set.
Speaker 1: It's tricky. On the flip side, though, I will say
Speaker 1: on the contrary, fearing your parents' house, you gonna follow
Speaker 1: your parents rules.
Speaker 2: Babe, Really your parents house parents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I moved out because I get it.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So what would you not be allowed to do in
Speaker 2: your home that you can do now?
Speaker 1: Well, my mum, for instance, like getting as long as
Speaker 1: you're in my house, you can't get tattoos, and moved
Speaker 1: out and got twenty five.
Speaker 2: It's chill, twenty five tattoos, I think twenty Well, you
Speaker 2: know what I did. What my dad said to me,
Speaker 2: if you ever get tattooed, I'm cutting your arm. Off
Speaker 2: fully serious. Yeah, oh, cut your arm off. So what
Speaker 2: I went and did is I got a tattoo. A
Speaker 2: tattoo artist came to my house and on the couch
Speaker 2: that he sits on to watch YouTube videos of cars
Speaker 2: every night, she drew an alien on my asshole, which
Speaker 2: I speak about frequently.
Speaker 1: But you'd never show us. Not once have you shown
Speaker 1: the tattoo. It's come up thrice, not once, Just a
Speaker 1: little peek, spread cheek it.
Speaker 2: Give us a look maybe later. So who is the asshole? Oh,
Speaker 2: who's the asshole?
Speaker 1: The mum? I think mum and daughter are the asshole.
Speaker 2: That said, though, the mum is the one reaching out
Speaker 2: saying am I in the wrong? So she's definitely open
Speaker 2: to a discussion. I think maybe she's maybe stuck. I'm
Speaker 2: guessing she grew up be in like the seventies or
Speaker 2: eighties where maybe like walking around in your undies in
Speaker 2: front of your parents like was not a vibe. So
Speaker 2: maybe she just needs to.
Speaker 1: Be a bit Every parent and child grew up in
Speaker 1: different eras, so it requires a level of willingness and
Speaker 1: openness for both parties to be happy.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: Daughter needs to understand where Mom's coming from. You're in
Speaker 1: her house. She's got to set a rules. She's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Mom needs to pick aside, have tacked and go in
Speaker 1: as a friend or be a parent, be like this
Speaker 1: is this is the rules, babe. You do it or
Speaker 1: you don't do it?
Speaker 2: Half passing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh well, if you want more advice from parents
Speaker 1: who aren't parents, I e. Flex and frooms, childless mummy bloggers. Yes,
Speaker 1: childless mommy bloggers. You know, stay tuned. The advice never stops.
Speaker 1: The unsolicited opinions never stop, flex and frooms. We're feeling
Speaker 1: like we want to get rich quick scheme.
Speaker 2: Okay, is that how I'm feeling?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was feeling that for the both of ours.
Speaker 1: Last week we're talking about soliable rise to fame and
Speaker 1: now he's the greatest marketing genius of all time. We
Speaker 1: won't get into it now, but basically he's scammed people
Speaker 1: to listen to his songs. Won't tell you how because
Speaker 1: if you missed it, he snooze you lose bitter Like
Speaker 1: next something, what does the early bird do? The early
Speaker 1: bird gets the worm it does it does. Here's what
Speaker 1: other early birds do? They get jobs at fifteen, not
Speaker 1: just any jobs. Listen to this I was researching different
Speaker 1: things that I can do to get that bag. And
Speaker 1: the way I did that is google the stories of
Speaker 1: celebrities that have come before me.
Speaker 2: Okay, is that what you do?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Every now and then, just to see if I'm missing
Speaker 1: out on anything. Here's the thing. I want to know,
Speaker 1: what length would you go to to get your dream job?
Speaker 1: Rosario Dawson, you're familiar Rosaria Dawson.
Speaker 2: Is she there?
Speaker 1: Did I say? Rosario?
Speaker 2: Rosaria?
Speaker 1: Rosaria?
Speaker 2: Is she the one that's like with Eric Andre?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I think she is.
Speaker 1: Love no fact checking, it doesn't matter anyway. So when
Speaker 1: she was fifteen, there was a commercial shooting outside of
Speaker 1: her apartment. She sat on her front porch every day
Speaker 1: that commercial was shooting, until a director and a screenwriter
Speaker 1: approached her and asked her if she wanted to be
Speaker 1: in a movie.
Speaker 2: Hmmmm? Is that factual?
Speaker 1: According to Dazed, the magazine, the publication we Know, the
Speaker 1: screenwriter Harmony Karen told her, I wrote this character for
Speaker 1: you without even realizing I didn't even know you. You're
Speaker 1: perfect for this character. You have to come in now.
Speaker 1: They tell you that you're not gonna get what you
Speaker 1: want if you just sit at home. People keep saying
Speaker 1: that to us. You gotta get outside if you want
Speaker 1: to go get it. We know you don't literally sit
Speaker 1: on your front porch and somebody will approach you. Kick back.
Speaker 1: It's been done before. There's literal proof that it could happen.
Speaker 1: Stop going on the job websites, babes, see stop networking.
Speaker 1: All right, it's not working, is it? Just sit outside?
Speaker 2: I gotta go.
Speaker 1: If Razaria can do it, you can do it.
Speaker 3: Flex and frooms.
Speaker 1: The thing is, there is no place I would rather
Speaker 1: be than right here. And I know for a fact
Speaker 1: you feel the same. Yes, no comic, no act too
Speaker 1: much to be fair.
Speaker 2: I agree. Life is so good?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? While you're composing yourself, I want to
Speaker 1: tell you something that I know for a fact will
Speaker 1: shock you, maybe shock you into speaking, perhaps not at all.
Speaker 1: We'll see how we go. Do you remember a woman
Speaker 1: of the name Danny L. Brogoli aka bad Baby aka
Speaker 1: cash Me Outside Girl, as seen on Doctor Phil probably
Speaker 1: four years ago?
Speaker 2: Absolutely iconic.
Speaker 1: Yes, we all know. At one point she had red hair.
Speaker 1: I don't know what her vibe is. Recently, but April
Speaker 1: m I want to say nineteenth, but late April twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, Danielle turned eighteen and on her eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 1: One might say it was a fantastic marketing opportunity. One
Speaker 1: might say it was an opportunity to increase her revenue stream.
Speaker 1: She launched an only fans and in hours, maybe about
Speaker 1: six hours, made a million dollars. Now you might be thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: girl boss obsessed MM but opened the only fans on
Speaker 1: her eighteenth birthday, It means that predators were in the
Speaker 1: corners looking. We won't get into that though. What I
Speaker 1: will say is that a year later she posted or
Speaker 1: bragged about how much money she had made on OnlyFans.
Speaker 1: Since people said how much, she said tens of millions,
Speaker 1: nobody believed her, so she posted the receipts. Dannielle Brogoli
Speaker 1: has made fifty two million dollars in a year on
Speaker 1: only fans. Fifty two million dollars. Do you want to
Speaker 1: know what's even crazier? What? I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: crazy or not crazy. But at the time, when she
Speaker 1: launched a year ago, she was copping a lot of
Speaker 1: flak because she wasn't doing full nudity. She was doing
Speaker 1: like handbra you know, like hands across breast, pressed together, cleavage,
Speaker 1: you know, and then on the occasion she'd say, you know,
Speaker 1: if you if this post gets how many hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of likes, I'll do a nip slip. Who knows
Speaker 1: if she ever did it. People were saying that you
Speaker 1: can't really differentiate between her Instagram and her only fans.
Speaker 1: It's like the same, same, just pretty girl being pretty.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's dull, deeper, if she's doing
Speaker 1: fully noodles. Either way, Siss has made fifty two.
Speaker 2: Million a year. I feel like we need to see perhaps, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's.
Speaker 1: That we need to try. And that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: A million.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I can't even I guess America's so big, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, geography, what is the brain? America is huge? It
Speaker 1: is okay anyway, So what I got from that? And
Speaker 1: I know this is in the success ape. It's not
Speaker 1: a recipe for success. It's meant to be a quick
Speaker 1: fact that has drawn out. But I will say if
Speaker 1: there was any there was ever a motivation to get
Speaker 1: the branding up, that would be it. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: increase my market share just to start an only fans
Speaker 1: would you do it. Yeah, if we're not even doing nips,
Speaker 1: we're just doing cleavage.
Speaker 2: Maybe we do a flex and ferms are only I
Speaker 2: would strongly consider that. Yeah, I've done much worse for cheaper.
