Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.
Speaker 3: Hey, sweaty Parties. You now I'm really into or what
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get into menstrual cycles thinking, I want
Speaker 3: to be that girl who times or arranges her life
Speaker 3: based on where I am my mental cycle. So photoshoots
Speaker 3: during menstruation, no babes, photo shoots during ovulation when I'm.
Speaker 2: Feeling Are you oving or men's stream?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Menstruating?
Speaker 1: Damn?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, here's what it is. Anyway, here's a potty
Speaker 2: Flex and Frooms on Kita.
Speaker 3: I recently moved to a new apartment and what I've
Speaker 3: been trying to do in life generally is be more
Speaker 3: of an open participant for the flow of life. So
Speaker 3: you know how when you get into a lift, you're
Speaker 3: not expecting to see anyone, let alone have a conversation.
Speaker 3: But if that's where it takes you, then have that
Speaker 3: conversation and give it your best. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: show up. And so in this apartment, it's very big.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people milling about, a lot
Speaker 3: of shared common areas. There's pools, there's spas, there's coworking spaces,
Speaker 3: which means that there's always a lot of people around
Speaker 3: at any given time, but I keep seeing the same people,
Speaker 3: and it's very strange, like on more than one occasion,
Speaker 3: going to the bin at the same time as a
Speaker 3: person but at a different time than I would usually go,
Speaker 3: or opening the door to my apartment at the same
Speaker 3: time as someone else opposite me is opening their door
Speaker 3: to leave. It's so strange, and I don't often though
Speaker 3: I may joke about we're being in a we're in
Speaker 3: a simulation. Generally those occurrences can be explained by just
Speaker 3: situational analysis. But in this instance, I said, who is
Speaker 3: the great overlord that's controlling all of our avatars that
Speaker 3: are saying, okay, you both open your doors at this time.
Speaker 3: And because I don't know how kooky the people I'm
Speaker 3: interacting with are, can't just hit them with them we're
Speaker 3: in a simulation Tuesday morning. I can't. They're calling the cops,
Speaker 3: already working, walking around with bleach hair, bleach eyebrows, going in,
Speaker 3: going now, I cannot be doing the simulation small talk.
Speaker 3: It's too much. And then it might just be a
Speaker 3: phenomena that happens. Maybe you know you've said that menstrual
Speaker 3: cycle sinking is not real.
Speaker 2: Not real, thank you, I.
Speaker 3: Know, yep, thank you. And but maybe this phenomena of
Speaker 3: life sinking in shared apartments is actually quite a real thing,
Speaker 3: and we're just on the same kind of frequency and
Speaker 3: it's not spooky and it can actually be explained by science.
Speaker 3: Form is shaking her head and yawning simultaneously saying thought.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, try just for one way flex living in
Speaker 2: Bondai Beach.
Speaker 1: Help. I'm gonna docks myself here because it's worth it. Okay,
Speaker 1: there is like five characters that I see every bloody
Speaker 1: day as the Truman Show. There's one guy I won't
Speaker 1: look because if you leave, you know who it is.
Speaker 1: One guy running on the sands. I see him running
Speaker 1: on the sand I'm seeing at Icebergs. I see him
Speaker 1: at a local cafe in North Bonday. Okay, if you know,
Speaker 1: you know curly Hair. There is a man the ghosts
Speaker 1: the same cave as me, sat next to each other
Speaker 1: last week. I'm just putting this out there because you
Speaker 1: might listen. And I was sitting reading my book. He
Speaker 1: comes up, sits next to me, starts reading a book. Naturally,
Speaker 1: it's a meet cute. Okay, of course, and he said
Speaker 1: to me, oh, I said, oh, I have a lovely day.
Speaker 4: Like.
Speaker 1: We had a bit of back and forth, and then
Speaker 1: I was leavings like oh yeah, see.
Speaker 3: You next week. Of course, saw him next week.
Speaker 2: Honest. I go the next week with my book in hand,
Speaker 2: stood up, stood up in my own neighborhood. Yeah of course.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, young lovely, Yeah yeah, young love Yeah, you
Speaker 3: missed all the shots you don't take.
Speaker 1: As we say on the show, that's totally true. But
Speaker 1: I will say the simulation is real in certain suburbs.
Speaker 3: I think they're in suburbs. It is, though, because you've
Speaker 3: got people they're not investing busy body suburbs up Bondy
Speaker 3: and the inner North of Melbourne. Okay, the other suburbs
Speaker 3: didn't get the patch, they didn't get the update.
Speaker 1: Two types of people with flex and fruits.
Speaker 3: For me, picture us walking down the street, any street, don't.
Speaker 2: Stress hodd straight into punt Road.
Speaker 3: We get to a traffic light. You see a group
Speaker 3: of people opposite us, across the road, also waiting to cross.
Speaker 3: They're looking in our general direction at us. Are you
Speaker 3: more likely to think that they think we're really pretty?
Speaker 3: Our outfit is great, they love our look, or are
Speaker 3: you more likely to think that they're judging us or
Speaker 3: thinking that we're like uncool and crazy?
Speaker 1: Option A you're honor option A inflated ego and megalomaniac
Speaker 1: qualities narcissism off the richter.
Speaker 3: You said it. I believe there are truly two types
Speaker 3: of people. You are able to oscillate between the two.
Speaker 3: But there is something about being perceived in a physical
Speaker 3: space that sets people off in a way that I
Speaker 3: can't compare to the internet. If you are the person
Speaker 3: who sees someone observing you and assumes that they're obsessed
Speaker 3: with you my kind of person, because I'm yeah, if
Speaker 3: you observe someone observing you and assume it's negative, life
Speaker 3: has been hard to you. Life has been rough, and
Speaker 3: I get it. The thing that gets me, though, is
Speaker 3: you'll never really know which it is. Even if you
Speaker 3: were to interact with the person right. People can hate
Speaker 3: you and then be nice to your face all day,
Speaker 3: every day. I do it all the time. Oh but
Speaker 3: my point is that because you'll never know right, let's
Speaker 3: say you regard them as the NPC or just you're
Speaker 3: never going to break that wall of understanding you get
Speaker 3: to decide in your delusion or in your inner world
Speaker 3: what that interaction was or was not. And I don't
Speaker 3: think there's any harm in assuming that it's positive, not
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly positive, Like you don't have to be like they
Speaker 3: want to marry me for real, but to assume the best. Huh.
Speaker 3: They're observing me because they're generally like what they see.
Speaker 3: What's there to lose?
Speaker 1: Bring back positive effect and bring back toxic positivity when
Speaker 1: it comes to your appearance. I think because you always
Speaker 1: think that people judge us differently, and they do. What's
Speaker 1: that idea that you think people don't like you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a TikTok thought.
Speaker 2: Oh we didn't. Damn.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that came from a study.
Speaker 2: It's not co signed by socratest academics, but it was.
Speaker 3: Someone on TikTok was saying that, according to the study
Speaker 3: studies not cited nor shared, that people like you more
Speaker 3: than you think you do. But I think there are
Speaker 3: other studies that say you're hotter than you think you are.
Speaker 3: Oh again, studies very broad. Do someone on TikTok say
Speaker 3: it or do we cite sources and study how many
Speaker 3: likes to study it was a top comment.
Speaker 2: It was a top I will say I think that
Speaker 2: we hold on. Where's my thought gone? And that's one.
Speaker 3: I thank you people participating as a co host. Am
Speaker 3: I am I the asshole.
Speaker 1: We have an F and F that's flex and frames
Speaker 1: DM from a listener called Wellington. Hi Wellington, thank you
Speaker 1: for sending this in. We did not our reverse engineer
Speaker 1: at This is a real message and they've got an
Speaker 1: am I the asshole.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a sup of water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need a little water. US recording from a
Speaker 3: desert island.
Speaker 2: Desert Islands AF, Wellington rites.
Speaker 3: I live with two others.
Speaker 1: Two of us have the same bank account, which allows
Speaker 1: us to easily split bills, frequently request money for utilities,
Speaker 1: and it automatically sends out individual receipts, et cetera. What
Speaker 1: is this My other housemate is refusing to open a
Speaker 1: bank account that is compatible with ours, So every time
Speaker 1: a bill is up I need to send a screenshot
Speaker 1: of it and send them the receipts once it's paid.
Speaker 1: We have quite a few utilities, so at the end
Speaker 1: of every month I end up having to do quite
Speaker 1: a bit of work just to administrate his bills, so
Speaker 1: no more. After we explain multiple times how much easier
Speaker 1: it would be if only he had the bank ap
Speaker 1: on his phone, he told us that he's not doing
Speaker 1: it and told us to do it and to suck
Speaker 1: it up. I told him that if he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to make things easier for me, I am not going
Speaker 1: to be doing extra work for free. And so it's
Speaker 1: now his responsibility to be the admint of the utilities.
Speaker 2: And he's mad.
Speaker 3: Surely that's not it.
Speaker 2: No, that's it.
Speaker 3: Where's the rest?
Speaker 2: Am I the asshole?
Speaker 3: We're done? We're just this is the complication.
Speaker 2: Look, Wellington has a lot on their boat. They are
Speaker 2: spending the whole life doing his admin. They don't have
Speaker 2: time to message the flex some things with extra details.
Speaker 1: They want to know if they're the asshole for forcing
Speaker 1: no requesting requesting. Yeah, but like sternly requesting, sternly requesting
Speaker 1: that their housemate open a joint bank account with them.
Speaker 3: Not a joint bank account, just one with the same
Speaker 3: banking provider, right or is it the same bank account?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, yeah, okay, so we reckon. They haven't
Speaker 1: said the brand word. But there is an app you
Speaker 1: can use that automates bills and that like you can
Speaker 1: send in request money. Let's say one of them is
Speaker 1: called b for example, right, I think they're talking about Beam.
Speaker 2: Are they the asshole for asking politely.
Speaker 1: Their housemate to open a BEAM because it makes it
Speaker 1: easier for them to administrate the bills? The housemate says no,
Speaker 1: and they say, all right, do it yourself then, mate,
Speaker 1: And now an argument is ensuing. I will start off, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you by saying that I don't like the idea
Speaker 1: of having to open a new bank account. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to use Beam. Some of the people send
Speaker 1: me money on Beam. I don't even remember creating a
Speaker 1: bloody use.
Speaker 3: This is how boomers are created. We're going to get
Speaker 3: there and look it's happening before I.
Speaker 2: I'm getting money randomly deposited into my bank account.
Speaker 4: Stick with my decentralized account.
Speaker 2: Let me send your bloody As.
Speaker 1: A fellow administrative passing person who often does lot.
Speaker 2: What's the option of that? No, administry is not passing,
Speaker 2: rather doing. But I don't seem like someone who would
Speaker 2: be organized. Here.
Speaker 4: I am a day after the wake off the wake
Speaker 4: in this instance, sometimes in order for the suffering to
Speaker 4: be distributed equally.
Speaker 3: Everybody needs to suffer. In this instance, Wellington is doing
Speaker 3: bulk suffering, which means Wellington needs to distribute said suffering.
Speaker 3: So by again making the housemate download this additional app
Speaker 3: or letting them take care of it. Now, what I
Speaker 3: can imagine is going to happen is that once this
Speaker 3: housemate begrudgingly decides to do a moment of administrative work,
Speaker 3: they will give up and request that Wellington take back
Speaker 3: the responsibility. As someone said once upon a time, if
Speaker 3: you want something done right, you need to do it yourself.
Speaker 3: And even though it is annoying to send the receipts
Speaker 3: and get the receipts, at least you know it's being done.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've heard one too many horror stories about somebody expecting
Speaker 3: one housemate to cover the bills and the rant and
Speaker 3: it's not being paid, and there's no receipts, and there's
Speaker 3: no tracking, and there's no all these things. And you know,
Speaker 3: the the mysterious Black Book of residential realtors and AGLs
Speaker 3: and the energy companies don't care if your housemate is
Speaker 3: not an organized person. Take care if the bills get paid, Okay,
Speaker 3: And it's as simple.
Speaker 2: As that you're listening to Flex and Frooms on cater.
Speaker 1: It's flex and it's rooms on cater. I would love
Speaker 1: to know in a year's time how many times I've
Speaker 1: said it's flexing Firms on cater.
Speaker 3: We can find out it's greating.
Speaker 2: That's a job for you.
Speaker 3: Mikayla, should we change the show name? It's Lil Lil
Speaker 3: and I can't do that. Yeah, it's not right Lil
Speaker 3: and Lucinda. It'sinder and Lil. That's better on the mouth,
Speaker 3: it's Losender and Lil.
Speaker 2: If we ever need to regroup, yeah, it's going to
Speaker 2: be Firms and flex. Let's be real. I already thought
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: You already tabled it.
Speaker 2: Don't tell.
Speaker 3: We'll have to do a focus group to see if
Speaker 3: it flies with the fans.
Speaker 2: Flex and frooms. It sounds better flex and froms. But
Speaker 2: then now we just no could just be a habit?
Speaker 1: Andy and Hamish, Hamish and Andy, Oh okay, is it
Speaker 1: just the way.
Speaker 2: We I think?
Speaker 4: It's how it sounds like.
Speaker 3: What sounds better?
Speaker 2: And Mikayla and Flex.
Speaker 3: It's flex and Michayla flex and Floriano Flex and Floriano
Speaker 3: and flex. Can I just say what even is Flex
Speaker 3: and Frooms? Like, do people register that they're what is
Speaker 3: a flex and Fruits?
Speaker 2: It sounds like a brand of like Sprain White.
Speaker 3: It sounds like a scrub daddy cleaning supplies.
Speaker 2: I actually gave you to talk about the Anna Nicole
Speaker 2: Smith documentary, didja? Yeah? Crazy? It's on Netflix. Do you
Speaker 2: remember Anonicole Smith?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So if you were not around in the Anonicole Smith days,
Speaker 1: she was a guest model and one time Playboy magazine model.
Speaker 1: She started off as an exotic dancer. I think she's
Speaker 1: from the Midwest, somewhere in America, right, And this is
Speaker 1: a documentary all about her life because she died when
Speaker 1: she was I think thirty eight over a drug overdose
Speaker 1: scripture medication. What I found really interesting about it there
Speaker 1: was multiple facets which I really recommend you watch.
Speaker 2: But oh, flex not in your wheelhouse.
Speaker 3: I feel like, I give, I am interested in documentary energies,
Speaker 3: but no, you live in a world of fiction, mm
Speaker 3: by choice. Real life is not. It's a bit much
Speaker 3: for me. Hard to rule dog at the moment.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, if you like also Y
Speaker 1: two K style, I think it's a really good explanation
Speaker 1: of what the style actually was back then.
Speaker 2: It's not princess qualified. This is the real this is
Speaker 2: the real artifact. Guys, get some style notes.
Speaker 3: Hr in the word.
Speaker 1: I will say though, at the end, it has like
Speaker 1: like most documentaries has got like this is what happened
Speaker 1: in the end, Like the writing that comes up at
Speaker 1: the end, and it talks about how Danelin, who's her daughter,
Speaker 1: didn't end up with assent even though Anna.
Speaker 2: Nicole married this billionaire right, and the way that it
Speaker 2: said it.
Speaker 3: Was just so like as she was waiting to cash in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also like if I was her watching it, it
Speaker 1: made it sound like her life is so hard, Like
Speaker 1: leave her out of it. She's three months old when died,
Speaker 1: or five months old or something, so leave her name
Speaker 1: out of it. Okay, but yeah, I highly recommend, very entertaining,
Speaker 1: fantastic watch Rest in Peace.
