Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast, Sweety Pies.
Speaker 2: You've never heard the girls go through it like they're
Speaker 2: currently going through it. It's humbling, but it's also a
Speaker 2: reminder that life is sure, immortality is Oh. We're hanging
Speaker 2: by a thread at any given point right now, we
Speaker 2: have evidence of it, but we should always be remembering
Speaker 2: that we're on the prespice. Wow, how early is too
Speaker 2: early to say I love you? I'm not sure?
Speaker 3: Can you, like, after you listen to this break everyone,
Speaker 3: can you send us some messages about when you said
Speaker 3: I love you to your partner?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't see.
Speaker 2: This is what I don't want to hear. I don't
Speaker 2: want to hear someone dried up being like it's always
Speaker 2: to I want to hear stories of when you've.
Speaker 1: Set it up to dry it up. Be serious.
Speaker 2: Anyway, here's the.
Speaker 1: Potty you're listening to Flex and Frooms on kit.
Speaker 2: We are due for a very expensive summer and a
Speaker 2: very hot one. Listen to this gossip from seven years.
Speaker 4: The price of food, cough, and chocolate could all be
Speaker 4: about to rise because of the weather. Latest indications are
Speaker 4: we're about to be hit with an El Nino weather system,
Speaker 4: with predictions the impact on Australia and the world economy
Speaker 4: will not be good. Is Bill Mullin explains.
Speaker 5: El Nino little Boy in Spanish is where the Pacific
Speaker 5: Ocean warms up, triggering big weather changes across the globe,
Speaker 5: bushfire weather in Australia, drier across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Speaker 5: That global impact, according to a new report, has cost
Speaker 5: the world economy trillions of dollars and now fears it's
Speaker 5: about to hit again.
Speaker 3: Thanks to someone coming through finally and seeing little Boy Boy.
Speaker 2: It's pretty wild though, because we all know there's a
Speaker 2: cost living crisis happening right now as we speak, but
Speaker 2: also come to find out where due for one of
Speaker 2: the hottest summers ever, there's not much we can do
Speaker 2: about it, because that's watching this video and they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of like, there's not
Speaker 2: much you can do about it because the way that
Speaker 2: Australian streets are made in particular aren't conducive to cooling
Speaker 2: down temperatures, Like the road's being made out.
Speaker 1: Of black tarck, why do we think of that.
Speaker 2: It's just reflecting the sun and making everything hot. Everybody
Speaker 2: who has dark or black roofs that could increase the
Speaker 2: temperature of your house by like ten degrees, if not twelve.
Speaker 2: So that sucks. But you know, we're dew, we're you,
Speaker 2: and you hear what's happening in China. It's like fifty
Speaker 2: two degrees. People are passing out on the streets. It's
Speaker 2: not good. But also the price of bread, cereal, vegetable oil, sugar, coffee,
Speaker 2: and chocolate is all gonna rise, and the price of
Speaker 2: energy and electricity. This is not good people, it's not
Speaker 2: looking good. And also I love that news article or
Speaker 2: news what do you call it?
Speaker 1: Piece?
Speaker 2: That news piece just had like no positive like what
Speaker 2: this is? This is what we can look forward to.
Speaker 2: They're like, you're gonna suffer now, You're gonna suffer later.
Speaker 1: Have voice. They were alarmist.
Speaker 3: I apprehiated the drama of it, but certainly I feel
Speaker 3: quite uneasier.
Speaker 2: That, and so you should. But like I said before,
Speaker 2: there's nothing you can't prepare for it, like time's are
Speaker 2: already tough, like it's a mess already. So but like
Speaker 2: I said before, I love when we struggled together.
Speaker 3: I do two, let's all do it together. I came
Speaker 3: across this article the other day, and by and by ay,
Speaker 3: I mean you're a liar, mckaeln fan.
Speaker 2: You came across it, and you did the research and
Speaker 2: put it in your inbox.
Speaker 3: Which you said, Babe, it's Tuesday, like I need all
Speaker 3: of your radio breaks, please send them to me.
Speaker 1: She really does the work, don't you, Mickey. I lift
Speaker 1: the weight. Yeah, the weight is lifted, and it feels good.
Speaker 3: She saw an article from Cosmo, which I haven't heard
Speaker 3: from Cosmo in that many years I spent.
Speaker 1: The last time I.
Speaker 3: Heard of Cosmo was when Carrie Bradshaw was drinking them
Speaker 3: and perhaps sometimes doing a bit of freelance work for Cosmopolitan,
Speaker 3: though she was more of a Vogue kind of girls.
Speaker 1: Please.
Speaker 3: This article is titled an enthusiastic endorsement for saying I
Speaker 3: Love you way too early. I clicked on this article,
Speaker 3: obviously extremely quickly, given I have some skin in the
Speaker 3: game here, only to find that it was an op ed.
Speaker 1: He was firmly an op ed.
Speaker 3: This is rather unhinged piece of material written by a woman.
Speaker 3: And I'm going to read out some of what she said,
Speaker 3: and then we'll go to a break and talk about
Speaker 3: whether or not we think great.
Speaker 1: However, many dates in this too soon?
Speaker 3: She says, about a month ago, I was on a
Speaker 3: fifth or sixth date in brackets around the time you
Speaker 3: stop counting?
Speaker 2: Do we stop counting? About twenty four bags?
Speaker 1: Seriously, my endorse counting with a guy I was starting
Speaker 1: to like a lot. Also, I.
Speaker 3: Can't go on more than three dates with someone. I
Speaker 3: don't think I'm going to marry.
Speaker 1: Leat the records, you had.
Speaker 2: A different tubb of mental illness that so currently speaks
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 3: The guy was starting to like a lot when he
Speaker 3: said I love you. He said this because we were
Speaker 3: a few drinks in Always Goes Away. I had an
Speaker 3: Upper east Side disco bar, and he admitted to kind
Speaker 3: of wanting a Red Bull vodka. And I said, actually,
Speaker 3: that sounds really good right now, and he said I
Speaker 3: love you.
Speaker 1: My brain immediately went, oh my god, I love you too.
Speaker 3: And then it stopped me before I could say anything,
Speaker 3: Because what if you just meant to in a loll
Speaker 3: I love you kind of way and he thinks I
Speaker 3: mean it in a let's get married kind of way.
Speaker 3: What if it's too soon or the wrong time, or
Speaker 3: I ruin everything which we need.
Speaker 2: To start bringing in. Loll I love you kind of
Speaker 2: way because I feel like constantly, like when someone matches
Speaker 2: your humor, You're like.
Speaker 1: Love this person totally.
Speaker 3: Like one date into texting, I'm gonna be dropping and
Speaker 3: I love as.
Speaker 2: A joke, you're telling all the girlies I love him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm afraid we've gone on one date.
Speaker 2: You're my boyfriend husband.
Speaker 3: I say to my mom, Oh, like my boyfriend did
Speaker 3: this thing. She's liked what I've met him once, Mom,
Speaker 3: But yeah, I said what I said. Okay, she continues
Speaker 3: this Obviously was unlike me. Later on, it occurred to
Speaker 3: me that the only reason I hadn't said it when
Speaker 3: I'd blurted it out with such reckless abandon so many
Speaker 3: other times, was because I genuinely liked this person and
Speaker 3: was beginning to see the faint outline of a potential
Speaker 3: future with him on the horizon. In other words, I
Speaker 3: was scared. Why, when I'm the most emotionally invested, am
Speaker 3: I the least willing to actually be vulnerable?
Speaker 1: I hate that.
Speaker 3: It's stupid. That's not how I want to live, and
Speaker 3: certainly not how I want to love. Anyway, the point
Speaker 3: of this story thank you. We got there is I
Speaker 3: wish I had said it right there at midnight on
Speaker 3: the fifth or sixth date over Red Bull Vodkas Live
Speaker 3: Short Choose Chaos Love that so much incredible work. We
Speaker 3: need to have a think about this. I'm unsure if
Speaker 3: I would follow down this author's path, but I'm definitely
Speaker 3: open to hearing both sides.
Speaker 1: What are those real news? Both sides.
Speaker 3: Happened as we know, FLEXI, some of us have been
Speaker 3: getting into his It's not that into your era, Okay.
Speaker 1: I was put on by front to.
Speaker 2: Your brain works.
Speaker 3: Do you victim a propaganda the scripture anyway? So personally,
Speaker 3: will I ever be the first one to say I
Speaker 3: love you? I don't think my pride can handle doing
Speaker 3: that at this ripe old age. But she did make
Speaker 3: a really good point about how why is it that
Speaker 3: when we are most emotionally invested, are we the least
Speaker 3: willing to actually be vulnerable. This is something that we
Speaker 3: need to think about, ladies and gentlemen, because I think
Speaker 3: when you want, when you want someone, when you want something,
Speaker 3: you're gonna play whatever cards you can to make them
Speaker 3: want you back, because it's precious. When we're probably shooting
Speaker 3: ourselves in the foot. Yeah, because wouldn't you say it's
Speaker 3: better to lean all the way in and if they
Speaker 3: don't like it, they're not for you.
Speaker 2: Yes, But I also think that, like what encouraging us
Speaker 2: to lean all the way in is always an honest
Speaker 2: depiction of how we're feeling. I think a lot of
Speaker 2: us in those early stages are operating with so much
Speaker 2: lack and scarcity, so like we're looking for certain cues
Speaker 2: and things we can do to make them like us more.
Speaker 2: And I love you prematurely is a great one to
Speaker 2: throw in because if they say it back, maybe they
Speaker 2: like me a lot. And it's like, oh, you just
Speaker 2: kind of live in the uncertainty of not knowing so when?
Speaker 2: Because yes, to your point, the line is why, when
Speaker 2: I'm the most emotionally invested, am I the least willing
Speaker 2: to actually be vulnerable? I would say, maybe you're not
Speaker 2: the most emotionally invested, you.
Speaker 1: Know, No, I don't care.
Speaker 2: Maybe your ego is really invested, you know, maybe your
Speaker 2: esteem is really invested, but like truly emotionally invested. I
Speaker 2: don't think you have all these extra walls up, and
Speaker 2: I don't think you're doing like that mental tit for
Speaker 2: tat on, like is it the right time? Is it
Speaker 2: not the right time? I don't think what they're experiencing
Speaker 2: there is emotional investment. I think it's like a emotional
Speaker 2: pendulum swinging because realistically, like this idea of like not
Speaker 2: wanting to say in case they don't feel it, then
Speaker 2: do you what are you saying? I only feel it
Speaker 2: if I know they feel it back?
Speaker 1: Yeah, bit of me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, love that.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 2: I do advocate for chaos, but I also think that
Speaker 2: people who don't really live a chaos driven lifestyle don't
Speaker 2: recognize that with a lot of chaos comes like pain.
Speaker 2: People who are very chaotic experience like way higher amounts
Speaker 2: of pain and failure than everybody else. And like, yes,
Speaker 2: they get big wins every now and then, but they're gambling.
Speaker 3: Life is a gamble and they're really playing at the
Speaker 3: poker table. In the high role of Marogany room.
Speaker 1: Pop culture, you missed with flex and frooms on.
Speaker 2: It's been a little while since we talked about Arona Grande,
Speaker 2: but that's not no fault of our own because she's
Speaker 2: been am I a rehearsing, filming wicked, getting into method.
Speaker 2: You know, it requires all of your time. I always think
Speaker 2: it's so bold when musicians step away from the music
Speaker 2: to pursue other dreams, because they take it so seriously.
Speaker 2: She really said, I'm not going to release anything for
Speaker 2: two three plus years to go be an actress. Maybe
Speaker 2: you already came from that. Yeah, it's a gamble, it's
Speaker 2: a gamble. But anyway, we are discussing her today because
Speaker 2: there's been news that's come up. She's split from her
Speaker 2: fiance or husband actually of two years, Dalton Gomez. He's
Speaker 2: a real estate agent, so not in the public eye.
Speaker 1: Thought it was a bit of random John, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2: You know when you know, you know, before that it
Speaker 2: was Pete Davidson, and then before that it was mac Miller.
Speaker 2: May he rest in peace now. Either way, I don't
Speaker 2: really think the breakup is that news worthy, but people
Speaker 2: do think that the way that she's chosen to reveal
Speaker 2: this information is quite telling. She's been mia Like I
Speaker 2: said before, she's not really posting online because when she has,
Speaker 2: people have been speculating about her mental health and wellness
Speaker 2: because she's lost a lot of weight. Dramatically, She's like,
Speaker 2: don't talk about my weight please. The day before she
Speaker 2: announced the breakup or she didn't announce it. The day
Speaker 2: before the breakup was announced, she was seen having the
Speaker 2: time of her life at Wimbledon, like with the girllies,
Speaker 2: like looking good, feeling good. Obviously, a way to position
Speaker 2: this breakup is like Joe, worry about me days I'm good.
Speaker 2: Don't listen to what he says. You know, I did
Speaker 2: it for me. Now what's come out right after that
Speaker 2: is apparently she's been boinking slash dating her coaster, wicked coaster.
Speaker 2: What's even spookier about this? And I hate to say it,
Speaker 2: I really do, but I'm just the messenger. The guy
Speaker 2: that she's rumored to be dating looks just like her brother.
Speaker 1: Oh twins, babe, No, let.
Speaker 2: Me literal twins. I could not blieve my eyes. I said,
Speaker 2: where do I know this guy from? Why don't know?
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, oh, he's SpongeBob in a play. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I don't know that that she looks just like her
Speaker 2: brother Frankie. So that's really just pointing. But also the coaster.
Speaker 2: His name is Ethan Slater. His partner, I guess now
Speaker 2: x has says she's been blindsided by the whole thing
Speaker 2: because they've got a baby. He was just gushing over
Speaker 2: her on Instagram two months ago and Mother's Day being
Speaker 2: like you love my life, love you so much. Room says,
Speaker 2: why do you look disday?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look if he actually looks like her brother?
Speaker 1: He does.
Speaker 2: Type in Ethan Slater Frankie Grande, nothing else, and I
Speaker 2: promise you a side by side will come up Ethan.
Speaker 3: Slater, Frankie Grande, Frankie Grande, it's actually Grande Randy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, babe, twins, Oh, tell me I'm wrong, you can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: He also kind of looks like the singer simply read
Speaker 1: not familiar, Like neither of them look like their actual selves, like.
Speaker 2: A Yeah, it's uncanny. It's such a shame though, because Ariana,
Speaker 2: when I observe the way that she dates, I really
Speaker 2: commend her because she really goes all in. You can
Speaker 2: tell she is a romantic at heart. Like all of
Speaker 2: her publicized relationships, we've seen them, the ups, the downs,
Speaker 2: the highs and lows. That woman is all in, which
Speaker 2: means she gets the best of the best and the
Speaker 2: worst of the worst. Because I'm sure it'd be so
Speaker 2: validating to know that that many people want to be
Speaker 2: married to you and engaged to you. But also the
Speaker 2: amount of heartbreaks she's had to endure publicly, this.
Speaker 1: Girl with who with Pete?
Speaker 2: We never really know, do we? No, they never give
Speaker 2: that information out. Well she really said Pete on are
Speaker 2: And that's what women do for men constantly. They really
Speaker 2: do increase their stock. I'm telling you make that relationship
Speaker 2: work for you.
Speaker 1: The co sign, the co sign where no one is
Speaker 1: I to the co signs.
Speaker 3: Tu Really, if you work in an office or if
Speaker 3: you send emails as part of your job, I have
Speaker 3: an urgent PCA, my PCA, I mean PSA, Yeah, what.
Speaker 1: Could ps What could pea get into it?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 3: Tell me why someone's emailing me the other day, or
Speaker 3: rather someone send me an email and then followed up
Speaker 3: on it via Instagram dms?
Speaker 2: Which is that's happening so often these days? What is ah.
Speaker 1: Like all angles you're not.
Speaker 2: Saying, you know what instagrams are at workplaces, But it's
Speaker 2: in the same way that like you're not talking business
Speaker 2: on the basketball court if you are in the NBA, okay,
Speaker 2: like that's where work happens, sure, but you're not signing
Speaker 2: contracts on the court.
Speaker 1: We're not Nike.
Speaker 2: Don't knock knock, knock on insert basket player's head here, No.
Speaker 1: But please continue.
Speaker 3: So I'm being hit with the double the double up,
Speaker 3: and then this person goes on to send me like
Speaker 3: sorry in the DM, She's like, can you let me
Speaker 3: know by end of play?
Speaker 1: A new one?
Speaker 3: And I said, okay, we really went there. End of play?
Speaker 2: I never heard that?
Speaker 1: Has anyone you? Have you heard this, Mickey?
Speaker 2: I've never heard it once. When you sent the email
Speaker 2: through with your idea, I was like, oh, is this
Speaker 2: a typo?
Speaker 1: Is this end of day?
Speaker 3: And it got me thinking, is I've definitely seen it before?
Speaker 3: This end of play nonsense? Obviously we know what end
Speaker 3: of day means. Can you get this to me?
Speaker 1: By end of day?
Speaker 3: Often stylized as EOD? Yeah, this end of play to
Speaker 3: me is the absolute is the example of the absolute
Speaker 3: worst of office culture. We are yet again referring to
Speaker 3: work as if it is a place of play and
Speaker 3: a place of fun, when in actuality, it is a
Speaker 3: place of extreme hardship and suffering.
Speaker 1: Yeah, end of play? Does this like a game to you?
Speaker 3: I'm in the trentious lady, and I've made my life
Speaker 3: so much worse being like I saw your email. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to avoid it, like I might avoid an era
Speaker 3: on Instagram, like leave me alone. This is like my
Speaker 3: screen time is up already. So I just want to say,
Speaker 3: don't get too jazzy with emails, guys, because it's not
Speaker 3: making me like you leave your end of play out
Speaker 3: of it. Life is a game, but not this kind
Speaker 3: of game. This is a horror movie.
