Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 3: So today's podcast is about Freadagan. Absolutely no shade. And
Speaker 3: when I say no shade, we are both fans of
Speaker 3: Fred again, would you agree? Yeah, I'm a fan of
Speaker 3: what's occurring. I love a music moment and a music movement.
Speaker 4: This is what I'm saying though, Like I don't want
Speaker 4: to get into like critical territory with no fun. I'm
Speaker 4: obsessed with it. We need this kind of hysteria for
Speaker 4: more things. I want to see people enthusiastic and happy
Speaker 4: and excited in a mass way.
Speaker 1: We just had people like mass aggressing for the.
Speaker 4: Last two years, mass abusing, like mass ruining the vibe,
Speaker 4: and now like the tides are turning and I want
Speaker 4: to know more about it so we can replicate it
Speaker 4: in every part of our life.
Speaker 3: That's the only anthropological exercise that we need to do
Speaker 3: is zone in on the vibe, pull it out and
Speaker 3: process it, throw it around in the blender all around
Speaker 3: our lives. Rabid Enthusiasm is in for twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: Que to the podcast.
Speaker 3: Keeter Flex and fromes Flex and fromes Flexie. If there's
Speaker 3: two words that are stuck between my teeth.
Speaker 2: They're in there. I can't get him out. It's Fred,
Speaker 2: It's again.
Speaker 4: I always have things stuck in my teeth, and I'm
Speaker 4: constantly asking for a toothpick, toothpick, toothpick, twopick.
Speaker 3: He needs him industrial strength philosophy.
Speaker 1: Talk to me, Baby, Fred Again?
Speaker 2: Is this dj? He became world famous?
Speaker 1: Industry plant.
Speaker 3: I believe is neo baby. His dad was Fred Fred Again?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, shut up. Fred Again is the music industry's
Speaker 3: hottest DJ. At m He became famous through some boiler sets.
Speaker 1: I think, I honestly aging yourself. Some boiler sets, I think.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: But what I'll say is Fred again.
Speaker 3: Hysteria has taken over the world, or at least this continent.
Speaker 3: I was at well, we were both at Laneway a
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, and what do I see? I see
Speaker 3: hordes of people running to the stage for Freddie And
Speaker 3: at eight pm. When I say there were hordes, this
Speaker 3: was like the plague. And the people were antibodies trying
Speaker 3: to fight the virus.
Speaker 1: That is to.
Speaker 4: Call the punters of Laneway pests viruses, viruses, vermin.
Speaker 1: You're Sicktitus. But it's the point.
Speaker 4: The big question is what is with the hype with
Speaker 4: Fred again? Is it valid absolutely? Is it justified absolutely?
Speaker 4: Is it warranted completely? However, the timing odd very odd,
Speaker 4: Like you said, how does hysteria bubble up in the
Speaker 4: way that it's bubbling.
Speaker 1: It is one thing to be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love this track.
Speaker 4: I've been binging it right in the same way everyone
Speaker 4: was obsessed with Flu, obsessed with Fisher, obsessed with Flex
Speaker 4: and Frims and Fred again. Damn, some's off with that alliteration.
Speaker 4: I get really like loving the song, loving the moment,
Speaker 4: but again I'm seeing tiktoks of people looking for.
Speaker 1: Whales and trying to figure out where secret.
Speaker 4: Shows are and doing call outs on the app being like,
Speaker 4: can anyone get me in with a free ticket, pretending
Speaker 4: to be publicists to get into shows, making fake lanyards.
Speaker 2: Wait, what's the whale? Because I just gotta yeah with.
Speaker 4: The whales like this seek, I don't know what the
Speaker 4: whale thing is, but there's been whale stamps and then
Speaker 4: you go where the whale stamps are and it tells
Speaker 4: you where Fred is. It's this whole thing and it's amazing.
Speaker 4: It's giving Taylor Swift dropping Easter eggs. I'm obsessed and
Speaker 4: everything makes sense on Fred's side. Fred is delivering what
Speaker 4: he should be to warrant this type of success. But
Speaker 4: I want to understand everyone's individual connection, because you're not
Speaker 4: just casual fans. You're now super fans, missing work to
Speaker 4: go to Darling Harbor and Centennial Park and wherever, to
Speaker 4: look at the ground to see if the East eggs
Speaker 4: are the same, so you can figure out where the
Speaker 4: secret show is.
Speaker 2: Oh, is there actually Easter eggs?
Speaker 1: No, that's a term.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was just thinking new weren't.
Speaker 1: That's a lie.
Speaker 3: As soon as that messina fucking hit my blood stream
Speaker 3: this game over, I've never been the same again of
Speaker 3: listen Fred again, I see the vision.
Speaker 2: I watched his set at Laneway.
Speaker 3: And there was a lot of reverbals almost like not mystical,
Speaker 3: but in transing he had I heard that he takes
Speaker 3: like the samples off his friends and off YouTube and
Speaker 3: off Ted Talks.
Speaker 1: And I feel like you saw it or you heard it.
Speaker 1: You were there.
Speaker 3: I saw it and I heard it, but I also
Speaker 3: heard from other people and he also said this thing
Speaker 3: while I was taking a shit in the toilet. I
Speaker 3: wasn't actually shooting at laneway. I was doing a week Okay,
Speaker 3: I did eat a hot dog wrapped in batter.
Speaker 4: Quick caveat. I had my first one too. Why did
Speaker 4: we decide to do that on the same day? What
Speaker 4: a strange experience.
Speaker 2: Let's just close our eyes. And then at the counter three.
Speaker 4: When you first been into it and saw the stick,
Speaker 4: I was freaking out, like, what is this?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 4: Did they put anything in the hot dogs these days
Speaker 4: that was gross, severely odd?
Speaker 2: Did you eat the whole thing?
Speaker 4: Of course not, ah, I'm not stomaching things for fun delicious.
Speaker 1: Back to the.
Speaker 2: Point, back to the point.
Speaker 3: So he's using these ted talks, He's using these little, tiny,
Speaker 3: snippy snapperies. I'm in the toilet and he goes, oh,
Speaker 3: dear or something like really funny and endearing, and I
Speaker 3: was like, I see the.
Speaker 1: The Jennifer lawrenceification. Fread again. I see exactly what you mean.
Speaker 3: Let me let me finish, Let me let me finish
Speaker 3: by saying this fred again, hysteria.
Speaker 2: It's really fun.
Speaker 3: And I think that he's very popular with the current
Speaker 3: demographic because post lockdown, we need inspiration. Believe me, I
Speaker 3: actually know where I'm going with this one with you.
Speaker 3: We need inspirational. You know, they're talking about anxiety, and
Speaker 3: like everyone.
Speaker 5: They're talking about depression, anxiety, anxiety, the duality being I
Speaker 5: just want to be feeling free shackled.
Speaker 2: Anyway, no fucking hell, Okay.
Speaker 3: In these songs that he's doing, it kind of reminds
Speaker 3: me of where suns Green Basleermon nineteen ninety nine remix
Speaker 3: In the US, there was a woman who did a
Speaker 3: talk at a graduation to the class of ninety nine,
Speaker 3: and it's this whole thing about have you heard of this?
Speaker 1: All of this advice?
Speaker 3: Right? And then Baz Lehrman took it and put a
Speaker 3: beat under it and this like angelic music.
Speaker 2: Bass did that, bas did that was Baz.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my king Wow.
Speaker 3: And he put Everybody's free underneath it, So is Everybody's
Speaker 3: free to wear sunscreen, And it gives me that's very
Speaker 3: much Fred.
Speaker 4: Again repurposed inspirational videos with a electronic music.
Speaker 3: I will say that reminds me of Everybody's Free to
Speaker 3: Wear Sunscreen by bas Lemon, because it's a beat, it's
Speaker 3: a track with with inspirational things over the top, and
Speaker 3: it's like this generation including us coming out of lockdown
Speaker 3: feeling a little bit uninspired. They want to go dance
Speaker 3: with hard outs, but they also want to acknowledge their
Speaker 3: anxiety and depression and see.
