0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 2>It's Flex and Frooms and Today on the Potty. I

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>hope you really loved it. Last week we started like

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 2>telling you what's in episodes. I actually listened back to

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the episode, as you know, Flex, I listened to our

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>episodes to relax. Oh that is that was really funny

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>that one.

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 1>And get the gags hit every time, like I laugh

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 1>at the same time every time.

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>What you say makes more sense when you listen to

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 2>it back.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious, Thank you.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>It needs a bit of processing, but yeah, thank you.

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>How am I not picking that up? That makes pervict chance?

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 2>But you know it's different in the when you're in

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the room.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>When you're when you're in the Devil's l Ma lair.

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 2>This one is about what to do when you want

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 2>someone to live your house. Doesn't have to be romantic.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>If we're your friends, have for dinner. But this is

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a very specific situation. No incrimination disclaim.

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we even answered the question. To be fair,

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>we definitely didn't, but we will one day. I will

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>make sure of it. Mummy. Can I listen to Flex

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms? Flex and froms Okada. I like to consider

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>myself a bit of a anthropologist. You know, if I

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>am engaging in conversation or socializing, I am mining data.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm terrifying.

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm drawing conclusions, and sometimes I really do snap.

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes what I'm coming up with is like so fresh,

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>never foreseen or heard, and other times I'm thinking, why

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't I drawn this conclusion sooner? In my office, we

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.279
<v Speaker 1>haven't officed toddler. She comes in every now and then.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>She does belong to one of the stuff, but she's

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>really amazing, and through getting to know her, I'm seeing

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>how just like how evolved children can be. And so

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously now that she's warmed up to me and she

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>knows me really well, she can like pick me out

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 1>in a picture. She knows what I eat, she knows

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>where I'm going. She's very smart. But what's been happening

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>now is that if I don't see her for five days,

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>she's mean, and she's she's closed off and she's agitated,

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and she is like torn between wanting to speak to

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>me but also remembering that I left her for five

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>days and not really understanding why. And then you know,

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.399
<v Speaker 1>like we find it really committed be like, oh, say

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>goodbye now, and she's freaking out because she's like, well,

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>when are you coming back? And why are you going

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and all of these things. And it reminds me of

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>this really terrible habit that I had and had to

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>break as an adult, of being mean when I missed people,

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>or you know, like wanting to be close to someone

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>but then pushing them away because I was like preempting

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>them going away again. And it's just so counterintuitive, but

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is happening in childhood. This is like

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a childhood based thing, because I'm not even sure that

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>she's like fully comprehending this idea, because do kids really

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>have like perception like that she's old enough to understand that.

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Like somedays she spends the whole day with me. She's

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>sitting on my lap or doing emails, watching Little Tiktoks. Okay,

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>she's pointing out pictures saying pretty, and I'm like, oh,

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>isn't that pretty? And then other days she's like closed

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>off and I have to be like, hey, I'm sorry,

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>were you upset when I left? You're like yeah, which

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>makes me think of two things. Number One, I don't

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>know if you've ever read in nonfiction, they say, if

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to have successful relationships with adults, you need

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to think of them as children. So you need to

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>stop assuming that every adult is behaving in a really healthy,

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 1>evolved way, because we're just little babies in adult bodies.

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>And I used to think that was just like infantilizing

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>everyone and giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. But

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>then watching the way that I let her, or not

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>even let her, but the way that I respected her

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>frustration with not understanding why I couldn't be around is

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>not the kind of lenience I would give with an adult.

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think, like if you threw me, were suddenly

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>off me because you hadn't seen me for a week,

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, grow up, it happens, you know. I'd

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>be like, like, why are you making it a big deal?

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Sooner than I would have empathy and say, well maybe that,

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>like was it hit her like that? Yeah? Like why

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>can't I be mindful or empathetic or generous enough with

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>my emotions to validate yours even if I don't feel

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the same way.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like when you have a dream where someone's being

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>really mean. Yeah, made a couple of days.

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>To aha exactly because you gotta let it roll off,

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes it takes a little bit longer. And when

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you rush the process or you feel rushed, that's when

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that mean spirit comes out, like I'm already because when

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I needed you, you went around, So now I'm not

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.919
<v Speaker 1>ready to be friends right now. So I say this

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>all to say people, we humans, adults would benefit from

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>interacting with children, definitely, because somehow you just start to

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>see like not a lot has changed between me interacting

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>with a three year old and a thirty year old

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in the best way. Humor is so similar and why

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>we like it the same jokes, not just humor generally.

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>How does she know what's pretty? But do you know

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>what pretty is?

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>How does she know when we're at work? Or how

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>does she know? Like just the way that she's able

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to connect theories, Like I facetimed my best friend when

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>she was on a train, and I think she thinks

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>my best friend lives on a train.

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Before she knows because we don't know where she is at.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like object permanent, so they don't think that you

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>exist until you're there. That's why it's got whiplash.

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I was in a.

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 2>Situation earlier this week, where I had a friend over.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>They slept over.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>In the morning, I woke up feeling quite ill. Okay,

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>some drinks had been consumed. It was a really really

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>large night. It was a late night, and I'm waking

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 2>up and feeling like I want my own personal space. Okay,

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 2>it's nothing on this person. It's just when it's a Sunday.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I needed them to leave my house so I could

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 2>order big macmeal at nine am and rot in my

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>bed in yearsah watching the notebook.

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And now of a sudden, you're hosting.

0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I said, I have not signed up for a twenty

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>four hour hope. It's like, this is not Airbnb. My

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>alarm goes off at eight am. I forgot to turn

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 2>it off, so obviously I'm awoken by the sounds of

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>an extreme alarm, and shit gets real very very quickly.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I stir thinking, oh, and my friend is still there.

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Another hour passes of me stirring, being like, I don't

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 2>know how to get up. I don't know what to

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>do because I'm really tired. I have to get up

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>because I want my own personal space, but I'm just

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 2>too tired to move. Gets about nine o'clock and I'm thinking, Okay,

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>we've got to make some moves. Boys, we gotta make

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>some mooves. I text one of my best friends, Okay.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>They were also meant to be staying at my house

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>because they were inter state. We've been partying together, so

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I was expecting him to come to my house. But

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't there. I text him and say, hey, can

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you please call me and say that I'm late for

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a breakfast because I have no spine. I don't know

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 2>how to ask this king that I please need some

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>personal space.

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Now. My friend doesn't reply.

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 2>It's been twenty minutes, so I'm like, okay, I need

0:06:58.120 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>to grab a shower.

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a shower.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>By the time I'm back from the shower, my friend

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>is dressed and he's gonna yeat out the door perfect

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>like fantastic, thank you so much, lays back into bed.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I start falling asleep. Okay, I'm back in my comfort zone.

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Two hours later, my friend who had messaged called me

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and said, hey, Listinda, we've got breakfast. And I said

<v Speaker 2>Bear balls around the corner. I'm like, I'm like, send

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>me the group chat.

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Like he's like there was a group chat and I'm like,

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember the group chat. Like I'm looking through

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>my phone.

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Was it on Messenger? I was on Instagram? Was it

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>on text message? Like?

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I was looking like what are you talking about? And

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>he's like, listenda, okay, I'm coming over to get you

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>to go and get you out of bed. I was like, mate, you.

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Look I am fragile. I was. I am broken you're not.

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I was pissed off.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, do you have wrong anyway. Finally he

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>calls me again and I almost don't answer. He says

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm outside, let me in, and I said, okay, rings

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the doorbell. I walk up, let him up, open my door,

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>run back to my bed, being like I can't deal

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>with this, like hopefully when he comes tack and he

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>sees I'm asleep, he creeps into my room and says,

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 2>is he still here? And I said no, what do

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 2>you mean? And he hops into bed with me, and

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I said to my friend like, really, I just like

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>really can't go to breakfast, Like.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm still so sick talking about it's like, what do

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>you mean I was? I was saving in character message.

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>We laughed when I say, we giggled and cackled for

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>five whole minutes, like I was fully I fully believe

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.319
<v Speaker 2>that we had a breakfast like.

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>And your is tired, which friends, And I.

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Was like genuinely upset about it that I almost called

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the friend who were meant to be meeting for breakfast

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and saying, hey, I'm so sorry, like I spent two

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>hours of sleep that shouldn't have been should have been

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 2>beautiful over morning. So all I gotta say, guys, is

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 2>this is a message to grow a spine. When you

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>want personal space, you gotta ask for it. Don't ask

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>for anyone else to come to your rescue. No less

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>on a Sunday of a long weekend. Okay, because no

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 2>one's answering their phones.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>But we have to discuss generally, how do you get

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>people to leave your house. There's levels to it, depending

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>on how close and comfortable, how brutal you feel like

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you want to be. As someone who toes the line

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>between lone Wolf and like social Butterfly babes. Yeah, you

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta know when to go mix signals constantly, like it

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>swings before I even know. Damn, you're listening to Flex

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and Rooms on kit.

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you think we're snobs if we don't like subtitles?

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 2>There was an article from The Atlantic nice. The title

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 2>was why is everyone watching TV? With the subtitles on?

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 2>And this person went to a movie at their friend's

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 2>backyard and it was Clueless? Right, they're watching Clueless. Everybody

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>seeing the movie Clueless. We don't need the subtitles on. However,

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>this person there's oh you left the subtitles on, to

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>which the other person replies, oh, we always leave the

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 2>subtitles on. And this person is wondering, am I a

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>snob because of the aesthetic horror that I think that

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 2>subtitles are with the gashing across the screen? Oh my gosh,

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>this person, I hope they got paid well for this article.

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean they're bossy into it, but that is such

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 2>a massive, massive, like what kind of person are you?

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Subtitles on or off that we don't speak about until

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 2>it's too late. I'm serious, because let me tell you

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 2>tell me your subconscious brain part of you thinks you're

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 2>taking the whole movie in when you've got subtitles on.

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely you're not. You're reading the words.

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 2>You're essentially reading a book you can't read subtle and

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>look at the faces. Okay, stand with me with this

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>with Kayla.

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>As someone I like subtitles on, I think the screen

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>looks empty without them. However, as someone who only ever

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>half watches anything, it's so I can continue to half

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 1>watch better, I'm already missing most of the movie and

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the TV show. Anytime someone recommends a TV show to

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.959
<v Speaker 1>me or a friend, they'll be like, you have to

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to this one. I say, it's out. I'm

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>not watching su Session, I'm not doing it. I'm not

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>watching Game of Thrones, I'm not doing it. I'm not

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>watching Breaking Bad, not watching any show I have to

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to because I'm not gonna you see my.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Issue watch lay Bag Their Day, which you think.

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, even then, three episodes in, I had a friend over,

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>so it was easy to watch because there's two people.

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>As soon as they left, I was like, oh, well,

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what this means.

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>That's the real fallacy of TV. You need be with people.

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>That's why I don't have a TV in my house.

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Once i'd realized that subtitles take away your attention,

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not gonna I'm just not gonna watch with

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>subtitles on see.

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing, because I feel like, knowing that

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm never gonna give the TV my full attention, I'm

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>going to aid myself in doing that to the best

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of my ability, as opposed to punishing myself further, I

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>being like I can't see, I can't hear, and I

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>can't read the biggest struggle. But this is also why

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I love going to the cinema, Oh cinema, because you

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>do have to pay attention, and it's a full century experience.

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't not pay attention if I wanted to. It's

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>quite incredible, you know.

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>With Flex and frooms on Cata love line with Flex

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and Frooms on Cada.

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>We've got a listener question which we love to get

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>via DM is preferred at Flex and frooms on Instagram.

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's all about how to say casual on the apps

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>but not be a booty call, or maybe what's the

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>fine line between being a booty call and being casual.

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Is there a difference. Look, I don't know. I'm just

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>not a casual person. I just don't know how to

0:12:55.400 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>do nonchalant unless I'm actively trying to avoidant, which I'm

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.199
<v Speaker 1>trying not to be. But I just don't feel like

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 1>it's one thing that you decide. It takes two. Right,

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Like someone in Domans you'll do.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.320
<v Speaker 2>A pretty call, but you went to casual, I would say, yeah,

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>like nothing about you as casual. And I think casual

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>is often the result of being like, I want something more,

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 2>but this person doesn't, so we're gonna be casual. Yeah.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like casual to me is synonymous with

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>not fun, unmet expectations, and waiting in the wings, constantly

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>waiting in the wings, waiting in the wings. And I

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>think people get stuck into casual dynamic to distance themselves

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>from the inevitable end where I'm like, the end is

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.559
<v Speaker 1>always coming, even when you think it's not. When you're

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with a friend, like you know you have

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 1>to leave and go to sleep eventually, when you are

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>loving your job currently but you kind of know that

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to be in a different position in three

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.839
<v Speaker 1>years time. The end is always coming. What I don't

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>like is getting stuck in the ambiguity and being like

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is it not should it? Should it not be? Because

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that it's just not fun. And what I've been working

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>on recently is like, actually think to myself, when am

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I having fun? And when am I perpetuating my own suffering?

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>So in this I don't think there is a way

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to stay casual and not be a booty call. I

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>really think it's difficult to maintain. I think it's difficult

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to have any kind of framework and be casual. Do

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you know how Like when you are casually employed in

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>your bosses like if you don't take these three shifts,

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna take you off the roster. And you're like, babes,

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm a casual like this, let me live. I go

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>in and out based on whims. And I also can't

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>preempt what something is or is not, whereas if something

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is less casual or moving to define, because you can

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>define something and decide within those premeters like let's be

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>more casual, let's not talk very often, whatever, whatever, whatever,

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But then the very nature of something being casual is

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that you are fluid and free flowing. So if you

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be a booty call. Then I don't

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>think you want an entirely casual dynamic. And I don't

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>think a dynamic isn't casual, it is automatically like long

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>term committed.

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>True.

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think if you want a framework and you

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 1>have expectations and it can't really be casual, I think

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I get it. For example, right, let's say you have

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you've just met someone at a party. It's a friend

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of a friend of yours, a close friend of one

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of your friends. They've been like, oh, we should really

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 1>hang out or whatever. Cool, let's do that. Two weeks later,

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you get a text message and they're annoyed at you

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>because they're like, hey, I kind of like thought you

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>would have reached out by now, Like the kind of

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>friends who I'm looking for. People are more like considerate

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and like honor. You'd be like, whoa Like we don't

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>even know, we don't know anything about each other, why

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>are you asking me for anything? But I think that

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 1>is the plight with casual modern dating, is that everybody

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>wants something, well what is it that they want exactly?

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>The other day I found myself at a gig. It

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 2>was the floodlights. They are a Melbourne band, Melbourne based band.

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 2>I would say the genre is like pub rock Australiana

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>crowded house vibes, but from the modern day Australian yep.

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Now that it's giving songs about the beautiful landscape as

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 2>well as the Australian condition. It's fantastic stuff, really fantastic stuff.

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 1>You're really good at this.

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 2>And when I was sitting in the crowd, I just

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 2>had this thought which is totally unrelated to the band,

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 2>where I thought, oh my god, I'm so disturbed by

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the movie Titanic. The Titanic happened in like nineteen oh five, right,

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 2>tell me why in the nineteen ninety five through to

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 2>two thousand, the Titanic is everywhere. Like in my childhood,

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the risk of the Titanic was so great and it

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 2>was such an enormous tragedy that really shocked me to

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>my court and to this day it's a cool memory.

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>The cinema really.

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 2>My parents house as his pamphlet for the Titanic for

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>some weird ass reason, like it's like National Geographic, one

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 2>of those little tiny books that are about different things

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 2>in history. And I was seeing in my bed a

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 2>while ago, just reading through every single bit of it.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Slow day.

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Every day is a slow day.

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I think the fact that it was like multi levels

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 2>of cultural socio, like all these levels were affected, and

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 2>also just the lavishness of it and seeing something go

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 2>down the first time that it goes out there, when

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like beIN.

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh the first time it was its first.

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 2>It was just made and voyage.

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Why did she say so?

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 2>It was just made and voyaged and it was the

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 2>biggest cruise ship ever created. And the whole thing was

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.919
<v Speaker 2>that it was unsinkable. Oh yeah, yeah, So it's a

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 2>fantastical story.

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I love history because this is really tea.

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, now, what is our Titanic?

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Our was in Like, what is something that's so prolific

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>in media that it's going to outlast generations and new cycles,

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera. But then I'm thinking, if it's,

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>as you say, the first unsinkable and for the time,

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 1>rare things don't happen like that, and even when rare

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>things happen now like chat GPT is rare and we're

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>not taking it seriously even fathom how big chat GPT

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>is because we've been living with iPhones, doesn't I say.

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, I think the most prolific

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 2>event would be nine to eleven. Yeah, babe, we're all thinking,

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I just want to say it. Every person listening to

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.360
<v Speaker 2>this show thinking nine to eleven. They're all sitting they're

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 2>going care for me for sure.

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Titanic and then nine eleven.

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.159
<v Speaker 2>And I would say, yeah, thousand million, I ate that

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 2>you did eat that hand. Well done, I think as well.

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Nine to eleven is the same. The only difference is

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 2>there was more media of it occurring, but still compared

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to what we have now, there's like ten videos of

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 2>nine to eleven going down and some voicemails. There's no texts.

0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but also given the way that people were accessing

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>news one hundred and something years ago, so the way

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>people access news one hundred and something years ago, for

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the Titanic to stand the test of time now, we

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>would need something that is so post news because like

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>we're saturated with it, so like if something terrifying happens

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 1>in the media, it's just another news story. In order

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to have something that is just as fantastical in the

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 1>media landscape as the Titanic, we would need something that

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>was secretive, bubbling in the undercurrent. Everybody knows, but you

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.679
<v Speaker 1>can't really say it publicly, and then in a hundred

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 1>years everyone's like, WHOA, that was huge. The biggest news

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 1>stories in the world die twenty four hours later. What

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to keep someone's attention for one hundred years

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>needs to be the lack of information, true, like a

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Madeline McCann type thing, but like more widespread climate change.

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh tell me, why am I not seeing extinction? Rebellion

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>throwing tomato soup at a painting that.

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Really capture my megoration?

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'll say Mikayla nine to eleven for me.
