Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 3: Well, come, you've got a great top lip.
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Don't much stay by the bottom, but the top one
Speaker 3: is great. It's good cupids bo.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: When I was in high school, really quickly, Brookie.
Speaker 1: When you say really quickly, really quickly is a lie
Speaker 1: every time? Listen.
Speaker 2: Okay, the hottest guy and you're eleven, his name was,
Speaker 2: It's okay, okay. We were all sitting around the quadrangle,
Speaker 2: the tens, elevens and twelves, and he would like flirt
Speaker 2: with us, but nag us all the time, and like
Speaker 2: because I was a joke star, they would joke with
Speaker 2: me medium comedian, part of me, part of me court jester.
Speaker 2: And he would say, you look like a duck. He said,
Speaker 2: that would look like a duck because of my upper lip.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works. And then the first
Speaker 2: guy I had a crush on set, I had weird
Speaker 2: lips as well.
Speaker 1: So who do you believe?
Speaker 2: Well, both of them said something your own lips. I've
Speaker 2: always thought they're cute, but they do curl under slightly.
Speaker 2: That's what I get when I do.
Speaker 1: So when I say I really like a toplet. Do
Speaker 1: you think I'm jesting?
Speaker 2: No, No, I thought it's nice. But I just thought
Speaker 2: it's in contrast with perhaps what I was told as
Speaker 2: a young impression and whole taste.
Speaker 1: Or they're seeing something that I can't see.
Speaker 2: The duck esque energy that I had waddling around the quad.
Speaker 2: I say this sort of say, we've got a potty.
Speaker 2: We've got a potty. It's not to do with my lips.
Speaker 2: It's not to do with ducks, but it is to
Speaker 2: do with a moral not a moral dilemma. I guess,
Speaker 2: like an exercise. I thought, I thought, exercise that is
Speaker 2: scary and upsetting. But if you need your car, just
Speaker 2: plug in. You're not needing to talk back. I am
Speaker 2: so just relax, you know, Like I had to answer
Speaker 2: the question, Oh, they just enjoy and think what would
Speaker 2: I like someone messaging to me that I be like,
Speaker 2: I just love listening to you guys, because I think
Speaker 2: about what I would say to flex, and I think
Speaker 2: about what I would say to you, But.
Speaker 1: You don't have to like do it exactly. And here,
Speaker 1: I'm so, what would you answer foods? I don't think
Speaker 1: I want to participate and anyway, so what what do
Speaker 1: you answer?
Speaker 2: I need to sub someone in for these ones. Let's
Speaker 2: get to it.
Speaker 1: Cat Flex and froomes. You're listening to flex and frooms.
Speaker 1: What the frick?
Speaker 3: I've been cooking this one. I've been cooking a lot, actually,
Speaker 3: because the thoughts have been coming?
Speaker 1: Ready?
Speaker 3: Yes, would you rather people say that they can't trust
Speaker 3: you or that they can't be themselves around you?
Speaker 1: They're not good? Are they? They're not good? And these
Speaker 1: are my favorite kind.
Speaker 3: These are my favorite kind because then we spend less
Speaker 3: time saying like what's the right answer, and just like
Speaker 3: what answer suits you best?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to know you, babe.
Speaker 2: I want to say I'd rather them say they can't
Speaker 2: be themselves around me, because that could be positive.
Speaker 1: But like, I'm a pig, but around you, I'm not, babe.
Speaker 2: And I can't be a pig around you. No farting,
Speaker 2: no burping you Brookie producer.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you. You're looking at book.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you. I told you I'm off far
Speaker 2: human twenty twenty three. Ok, Yeah, I would rather. I
Speaker 2: think I like the idea of people trusting me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be deemed as an untrustworthy person.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: Because I don't like I'd like to feel that people
Speaker 2: around me feel comfortable. And if you can't be trusting,
Speaker 2: people are on guard, whereas oh, I guess the same
Speaker 2: with not feeling comfortable. What's yours? So wait, when when
Speaker 2: you say being interrogated.
Speaker 3: Now, when you say you you would rather people trust you,
Speaker 3: is that by any means necessary.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 1: I think no.
Speaker 2: I would rather it's the term untrustworthy, yeah, rather than
Speaker 2: can't trust me. You know, like if you're an un
Speaker 2: I think, oh, you're shifty, you're malicious.
Speaker 3: What if you're just a storyteller? Like sometimes you's like,
Speaker 3: didn't know that was sacred? I just told someone, Oh.
Speaker 2: We all know that the town crier. I don't want
Speaker 2: to be that person.
Speaker 3: Would I rather people say that they can't trust me
Speaker 3: or that they can't be themselves around me? I would
Speaker 3: rather people say they can't be themselves around me, because
Speaker 3: that feels like it's less to do with me, Like
Speaker 3: it is my issue, right, Like it's obviously an impact
Speaker 3: I'm having on somebody else. But the solution feels very simple.
Speaker 3: Let's just not hang out because like, clearly it's not meshing.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a compatibility thing, Maybe it's a chemistry thing,
Speaker 3: maybe it's a personality thing. If someone is like I
Speaker 3: don't feel like I can trust you, that makes it
Speaker 3: that makes me feel like it's something I need to
Speaker 3: immediately fix. And I don't think I would know what
Speaker 3: the solution was, right, because what if it's just a vibe.
Speaker 3: What if we've never had an interaction where I've deemed
Speaker 3: myself untrust whether I told your secret or I took
Speaker 3: something from you, but you've already got the vibe.
Speaker 1: Well, what am I meant to do?
Speaker 3: I just feel like that's a you problem that I've
Speaker 3: got to hold onto until it stops being You probably.
Speaker 2: Figure it out how you've twisted it to be their problem.
Speaker 1: No, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like you know how it's almost like when you when
Speaker 3: you have a when you have a vibe, you can't shake.
Speaker 3: What am I meant to do? It's like, let's say
Speaker 3: we walked into a room together and you're like, oh.
Speaker 1: I've got a weird vibe? What can I do?
Speaker 3: But now it's my problem because you've said it out
Speaker 3: loud and we're like, okay, is it the temperature? Is
Speaker 3: it like is it, you know, like don't like the
Speaker 3: color of the paint, Like, what are we going to
Speaker 3: do about it?
Speaker 1: But now I've got to share that with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bring the vibe down, Bring the vibe down, kip
Speaker 2: to yourself.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really hard one because I feel like
Speaker 2: they're actually quite similar. Yeah, like the reasons I the
Speaker 2: things I don't like about them are the same, which
Speaker 2: is that making people around me feel uncomfortable and making
Speaker 2: people not like me rather Yeah.
Speaker 1: The reason why I wrote this question.
Speaker 2: Is because I'm a liar who you don't feel comfortable around.
Speaker 1: Okay, projecting it was a joke, if you want to
Speaker 1: unpack unpacked?
Speaker 2: Why are my jokes not landing?
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this because I was at a
Speaker 3: bar and I was going bar, Like, what do you
Speaker 3: call it?
Speaker 1: Bar hopping? Yeah? I think yeah, bar hopping going from
Speaker 1: bar different.
Speaker 3: Bars, and at each bar, and on the way to
Speaker 3: each bar, me and my friend kept running into people
Speaker 3: like not our mutual friends, but like he would know
Speaker 3: a friend and I would know someone, and then we
Speaker 3: go to a different bar and then there'd be people who,
Speaker 3: like you want to like they come over for a
Speaker 3: bit or whatever, and I just like, you know how
Speaker 3: when you are when you don't know everybody there, well,
Speaker 3: you can easily find yourself on the fringe of a conversation.
Speaker 3: While someone's talking, people were saying like some really hectic
Speaker 3: things right, like personal things not about them, no, no about
Speaker 3: their person, about mutual friends and stuff. Were like, I
Speaker 3: don't know if they I was thinking to myself, are
Speaker 3: you saying this because you trust that I won't tell anyone?
Speaker 3: Or are you saying this because you think it's fine
Speaker 3: information to share? And I was thinking, no matter which
Speaker 3: one it was, it all centered on trust, like some
Speaker 3: part of you chit chatting with a bunch of strangers
Speaker 3: feel safe to share this information, like you implicitly trust
Speaker 3: that it's gonna be well received, that it's not gonna
Speaker 3: go back to the person. And I was like, I
Speaker 3: don't know if I want that feeling like what about
Speaker 3: me has encouraged you to do that? And maybe it's
Speaker 3: not even personal, maybe it's nothing about me. But then
Speaker 3: I thought, fuck, what's the alternative, Like someone saying I
Speaker 3: don't want to have this conversation around you like, oh,
Speaker 3: actually no, we'll talk.
Speaker 1: About it later. It's like you think I don't have.
Speaker 3: Tact You think I can't give a scotch, and maybe
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I can't.
Speaker 3: But I thought, damn, like that would really sting because
Speaker 3: for a second there I was judging them for speaking
Speaker 3: so freely, right, for like trusting implicitly trusting that we
Speaker 3: all know that like this is vault right, you know
Speaker 3: that I'm not gonna tell anyone and this is not
Speaker 3: gonna leave this circle.
Speaker 1: But should you do that? Should you drive?
Speaker 3: And then I was wigging out, so immediately I put
Speaker 3: this in my notes. I was like, I need to
Speaker 3: mull over this because I.
Speaker 1: Feel like this, say hey.
Speaker 3: I immediately took it to the group chat. No, I
Speaker 3: was just mulling over. I was like, Okay, there's something there,
Speaker 3: but I don't know what I'm asking. And then the
Speaker 3: other one like would you rather people say they can't
Speaker 3: be themselves around you?
Speaker 1: Because that was also it also.
Speaker 3: Like because I was on the fringe of that conversation
Speaker 3: and I was already like, hmmm, a fringe of one
Speaker 3: of these conversations. I was like, I want to say something,
Speaker 3: but I don't want to create a weird vibe because
Speaker 3: it's not that deep. Like I don't actually care, but
Speaker 3: if it was a group of my friends, I would
Speaker 3: say something it'd be like funny, like damn, like do
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? So I'm like now like
Speaker 3: I'm not being myself. I'm taking like a weird position,
Speaker 3: like I was overthinking. I just had too much time
Speaker 3: with my thoughts, and I was like, I can't be
Speaker 3: myself in this conversation because I've overthought it to the
Speaker 3: point where it's not even fun to enjoy this anymore. Right,
Speaker 3: So this is off your internal Yeah, yes, because I
Speaker 3: heard this information, I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1: I know that I didn't want to hear it. Actually,
Speaker 1: I was just like I was thinking too much.
Speaker 3: I was like, damn, what if this person was telling
Speaker 3: my business in this way?
Speaker 1: Like this is not surface level gossip. This was like
Speaker 1: a little bit intense, like for friends and me.
Speaker 3: So I was like, damn, like I don't even know
Speaker 3: if I want to be a part of this conversation.
Speaker 3: And then now I'm like, but they're so comfortable and
Speaker 3: so like why would I ruin the vibe? And am
Speaker 3: I going to rush to change the conversation because of
Speaker 3: what reason?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was just like in my head that day, but
Speaker 3: I was like, this would make a good question because
Speaker 3: either way the outcome is not great, but like you
Speaker 3: gotta sit with it, hypothetically sit.
Speaker 1: I will ask everyone that question, would.
Speaker 2: You rather s what is it? Again?
Speaker 3: Would you rather people say they can't trust you or
Speaker 3: they can't be themselves around you? Flex and is the
Speaker 3: answer to all of your life's problems being delusional? That's
Speaker 3: the question we're trying to answer today on flex and frooms. Yes, no, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: in some ways. Look, every generation has their own version
Speaker 3: of positivity and optimism and optimism I was gonna say optimivity,
Speaker 3: which has a ring to it anyway. There's manifestation, mantras, affirmations, mindfulness,
Speaker 3: all of the above, but this one in particular seems
Speaker 3: to have a few people in a bit of a chokehold.
Speaker 3: They're really resonating with it, and other people think it's
Speaker 3: like a one stop shop to some kind of spiritual
Speaker 3: psychosis or like actual delusion where you're so out of
Speaker 3: touch with the way the world works that you break
Speaker 3: something in the brain. That it is called lucky girl
Speaker 3: syndrome gendered for a reason I'm not sure, but on TikTok. Currently,
Speaker 3: there's a trend that's encouraging women worldwide to believe that
Speaker 3: they are in fact lucky girls. And what they do
Speaker 3: is they I mean, I don't think they say to
Speaker 3: these things out loud, but they create videos that kind
Speaker 3: of present to themselves and the world the kind of
Speaker 3: things that they are aspying for by framing it this way,
Speaker 3: I am such a lucky girl. Everything always works out.
Speaker 3: I'm so lucky that today when I leave the house,
Speaker 3: the best thing is going to happen to me. Nothing
Speaker 3: ever goes wrong because I'm such a lucky girl. And
Speaker 3: various affirmations like that. Now, in some cases you might think, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, for some people that like that is true.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe you do experience lucky in like varying degrees.
Speaker 3: But other people kind of think it gives you the
Speaker 3: opportunity to bypass reality in a way that's not that healthy.
Speaker 3: A lot of the critique about lucky your syndrome is
Speaker 3: that it takes away your agency. People start living in
Speaker 3: this very like stagnant state. We're instead of actively working
Speaker 3: towards the things that will make you feel good and
Speaker 3: solid and happy, you kind of just wade around in
Speaker 3: this stagnant state, deceiving yourself or trying to shield yourself
Speaker 3: from your reality in favor of this like very odd
Speaker 3: act of like posting about how lucky you are, even
Speaker 3: if it contradicts your current reality. A few other examples
Speaker 3: of lucky Girl's syndrome. There's this girl here is like
Speaker 3: it wasn't until I genuinely believe that great things were
Speaker 3: happening to me, that they happened right, and people are
Speaker 3: kind of like or you're just becoming aware that good
Speaker 3: things happen all the time in varying degrees and you
Speaker 3: just never notice because until it was framed as luck,
Speaker 3: you thought it wasn't important.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I do. I have seen the brows
Speaker 1: furrow two three times through me. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm interested that you don't really vibe with it,
Speaker 2: because to me it sounds quite spooky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think my spool like I'm actually spooky,
Speaker 3: like raise religious spooky, like believe in God spooky. I'm
Speaker 3: not like online wo wo like pop culture spooky. And
Speaker 3: I think that's a bit of the dissonance here, where
Speaker 3: like I fundamentally believe in the concept of faith, I
Speaker 3: fundamentally believe in the concept of fate. I fundamentally believe
Speaker 3: in the concept that there are higher powers working in
Speaker 3: tandem to make sure my life is good. Maybe that's
Speaker 3: my mum, you know, maybe it's my best friend. I
Speaker 3: don't know, but I feel gifted that I have opportunities
Speaker 3: that other people don't have. I feel lucky, But I
Speaker 3: also think that like look at my day to day,
Speaker 3: like I work eighteen hours, Like is it really lucky
Speaker 3: at a certain point or is it just like constantly
Speaker 3: working towards a thing and then recognizing when it happens.
Speaker 3: I don't really know, but I will say like a
Speaker 3: big cornerstone of my personality is like doing stuff and
Speaker 3: like getting things done and working towards a goal. And
Speaker 3: like these affirmations don't tell you to do that at
Speaker 3: no point is lucky girl syndrome saying like think this
Speaker 3: way and then like get out the house and like
Speaker 3: plant that tree and you know, have that conversation. It's
Speaker 3: just saying if you sit there and believe it, it'll
Speaker 3: be true. And it's not true, do you know, Like
Speaker 3: you're not You're almost like it's like fake it till
Speaker 3: you make it. Culture like fake it until you make it.
Speaker 3: But it's not just like faking it for it's entiredy.
Speaker 3: There's not doing an access there, right, And the faking
Speaker 3: it meant to help platform you, elevate, you bolster you
Speaker 3: give you a sense of confidence in order to do
Speaker 3: that thing. It isn't confidence, it isn't conviction.
Speaker 2: Right, tell the multi level marketers literally love.
Speaker 3: But in the same vein, I do like this idea
Speaker 3: that people are like releasing themselves from the chokehold of
Speaker 3: like depression meme culture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like change it up. I'm like much happy that
Speaker 1: this is the vibe you know.
Speaker 2: When I was deep in that like twenty seventeen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: heralded in that.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 2: We can move on.
Speaker 1: Flex and frooms say the best. What did you o?
Speaker 2: I was on TikTok the other day and I came
Speaker 2: across this video that explained how what you want is
Speaker 2: actually a substitute for what you need.
Speaker 1: Oh explain.
Speaker 2: For example, if you want a fast car, it means
Speaker 2: you want power and this whole other lists of other things.
Speaker 2: If you want a relationship, you really just want physical touch.
Speaker 1: If you continue, please pay.
Speaker 3: If you want give me an example, from what you
Speaker 3: want that's a substitute for what you need. Okay, well
Speaker 3: just explain it to me in the way that you
Speaker 3: understand it.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, I don't understand concepts.
Speaker 3: No, but like you're I don't know, it's insane, but
Speaker 3: I can't what a relationship just a hug is said.
Speaker 1: It's like that, Okay, that's more achievable.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like if you want to eat comfort food,
Speaker 2: you need a hug if you want it.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me explain. It's essentially how all these.
Speaker 2: Markers of like power, love, societal like brackets are really
Speaker 2: just you need these really simple things.
Speaker 3: Oh you're saying, can kind of all be like whittled
Speaker 3: down into this one core simple thing. Yes, or as
Speaker 3: we grow we like over complicate it. We'd be like, no,
Speaker 3: I want this specific.
Speaker 2: Thing, like if you want to buy a house.
Speaker 3: See saying, everyone who wants to be in a relationship
Speaker 3: at their core just needs to be touched.
Speaker 2: No. So an example would be you you think you
Speaker 2: really want a relationship, yeah, but you actually just need
Speaker 2: physical touch. You actually just need to be intimate with somebody.
Speaker 2: You actually need These examples or these are facts these
Speaker 2: are like examples of this concept.
Speaker 1: I wish you had the concept.
Speaker 3: I know, because I feel like it's in my head.
Speaker 3: It sounds like correlation doesn't equal causation. So like we
Speaker 3: could say, right that everybody who has aspirations for like
Speaker 3: traditionally flashy things, big watches, you know, big necklaces, fast cars,
Speaker 3: just want to be seen. Mm hm maybe, but that's
Speaker 3: not exactly true exactly, So that's what I'm trying to
Speaker 3: understand from this. Has he given those examples because like
Speaker 3: he's like, this is an example of how this could be,
Speaker 3: or he's saying this is this is someone's fundamental drive
Speaker 3: for relationship, it's touch someone's fundamental drive for a fast
Speaker 3: car is power?
Speaker 2: No, I think it was like an empowering way of
Speaker 2: looking at how all these things that you think you
Speaker 2: want can actually be achieved through other means that are
Speaker 2: more accessible to the average person. So, yeah, if you
Speaker 2: want a really fast car but you know you can't
Speaker 2: afford it, maybe actually have you considered you might actually
Speaker 2: want this into skydiving? Yeah, or just yeah, I wish
Speaker 2: that I had it. It was a TikTok, which is classic.
Speaker 3: Okay, So is it like the concept of like an MVP,
Speaker 3: like a minimum viable product. So often when we think
Speaker 3: about the thing that we want to achieve, we think
Speaker 3: of it in its most complex, beautiful, shiny form. Like
Speaker 3: you said, I want the relationship, we put it on
Speaker 3: a pedestal it's the trophy, when realistically there are elements
Speaker 3: of a relationship that we could have access to today.
Speaker 3: Like you want companionship, you can get that right now.
Speaker 3: You want intimacy, you can get it right now. You
Speaker 3: want someone to go to the movies where you can
Speaker 3: get it right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not perfect.
Speaker 3: So exactly More similarly, like you really think that you
Speaker 3: want to go on this amazing holiday because you've pedestalized
Speaker 3: as this thing that's going to change your life. It's
Speaker 3: going to shake things up for you. It's going to
Speaker 3: invite this lust for life, and realistically, there are small
Speaker 3: ways that you can get that feeling by switching up
Speaker 3: your routine. Is that So it's like the there are
Speaker 3: simpler ways to like bypass the thing you think you
Speaker 3: need in the short term, not to so.
Speaker 1: You can't want for things in the long term, but
Speaker 1: an option.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I guess it just goes down to the
Speaker 2: thing of like when you're on your deathbed, do you
Speaker 2: are all these things that you wanted that you necessarily achieved.
Speaker 2: They the things that are important?
Speaker 1: So how did it resonate with you?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What did you think of when you were watching that video?
Speaker 2: I just thought it was like a good not a
Speaker 2: wake up call. But it was an interesting thing to
Speaker 2: like equate really big markers of success to these simpler things.
Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting if you get swept up
Speaker 2: in wanting a particular thing, you know, anyway, the jury's out.
Speaker 2: If we find it, we'll post it on such sort
Speaker 2: of social media.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, babe. I want to see it.
Speaker 1: I want to sing flex and fromes, flex and firms.
Speaker 3: I'm not taking back what I said. I'm adding some context.
Speaker 3: In my heart of hearts, I identify as being a
Speaker 3: night out. But what I am discovering is the concept
Speaker 3: of identity is so fragile it what is it?
Speaker 1: Even? I thought I was.
Speaker 2: Blonde up until last week?
Speaker 1: Literally literally, I have such a good like moral dilemma
Speaker 1: I'm working on. It's cooking. It's cooking.
Speaker 3: I want to reveal it too soon, but it's cooking
Speaker 3: because of this exact moment not our vibes. So when
Speaker 3: I was in Ghana, if it was midnight here, it'd
Speaker 3: be midday there, So on the complete opposite end of
Speaker 3: the spectrum, there was no way I could keep up
Speaker 3: with what was happening here.
Speaker 1: Didn't even bother.
Speaker 3: But the last week I tried, so I stayed up
Speaker 3: really late to four or five six am so I
Speaker 3: could try and like pivot my sleep schedule, so it
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be really painful when I got back here.
Speaker 3: I didn't fix it because what's been happening is that
Speaker 3: I've been becoming so tired at around like eight pm,
Speaker 3: nine pm, ten pm, and then just going to bed
Speaker 3: and then waking up at like six seven, eight am.
Speaker 1: And I hate to say it. I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: but it's been such a little treat waking up and
Speaker 1: just mosing about.
Speaker 3: No, I might just make a little breakfast or what's
Speaker 3: out there, just like I think I'm understanding it. But
Speaker 3: the only thing that's making it easier is the fact
Speaker 3: that my eyes are open and I'm awake. I don't
Speaker 3: think I could ever do that if I physically felt
Speaker 3: still tired, which brings me to the concept of a
Speaker 3: morning routine. I don't have one, and I think maybe
Speaker 3: that is the formula to living a perfect life, waking
Speaker 3: up and knowing what your purposes on a small scale,
Speaker 3: that you have something like really yummy to eat, and
Speaker 3: that like you don't have to rush out of the house,
Speaker 3: Like I give myself the exact amount of time to
Speaker 3: get ready, thirty minutes to shower, brush my teeth, put
Speaker 3: on my makeup, put on my clothes. Even if I
Speaker 3: have more time, I'm like, no, no, it needs to be efficient.
Speaker 3: But the mosing around morning routine, I'm thinking, yeah, so
Speaker 3: I learned some things. Apparently when you get up, the
Speaker 3: morning light is the you told me the other day.
Speaker 3: The morning light is going to determine how good your
Speaker 3: sleepers did some research. Andrew Hubman talks a lot about it.
Speaker 3: You need the morning light.
Speaker 1: You also need to eat some stuff. I started thinking
Speaker 1: about my.
Speaker 3: Body like like almost like a car where I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh damn, I just like to run on empty for fun.
Speaker 3: And how much anxiety do you get when your petrol
Speaker 3: light is on and you're just driving around.
Speaker 1: You can't function never if.
Speaker 2: You get it, feel your car up. It's happened to
Speaker 2: me once where I've conked out. It's don't do it.
Speaker 3: And I just think it really pains my heart to

Speaker 1: live your life like a well cared for toddler.
