WEBVTT - Tilda Swinton 👱 Drives A Smart Car 🚘

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the Flex and Frooms catch Up podcast.

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 3>We have a car based submission by one of our listeners.

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 3>She espouses that she will not let certain people in

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 3>based on their car on the road.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 4>And let's clarify what that means, because the first time

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 4>I read that, I was like, I don't understand what

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 4>you're saying. So when somebody is merging, she won't let

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 4>them gracefully merge into her lane if they don't drive

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 4>a here under.

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Correct odd she goes on high flexing. For me, I

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 3>would love to hear your opinion on driving etiquette when

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 3>considering the differing cost between two vehicles.

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>This is so much.

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 3>I own a Heyundai I thirty trophy, a truly sick

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 3>car that cost me twenty three g's I a Heyundai

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 3>driver will under no circumstances give way too or allowed

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 3>to merge in front of me, or otherwise show a

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 3>single sec of consideration to another driver who owns a

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 3>car that is more expensive than mine. I don't know

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 3>why I think this way, It's just the way I think.

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Is Is this weird?

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Or do myself imposed driving regulations have merit?

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Love this?

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>She sounds like one of yours. Well, I was.

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Reading this and feeling seen i'd heard, Like, it's so meta,

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 4>what's happening here. It's one thing to admit to having

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 4>road rage, but this is intentional, specific class based road rage.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean class It's kind of like a Robin Hood

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 3>type energy.

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 4>When this listener mentioned the price of her vehicle, I

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 4>thought it was to be a flex to say that,

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 4>like here, this is a Baddy vehicle twenty three K.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 4>Now you're saying I'm not gonna let a vehicle more

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 4>expensive merge.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Are there less expensive vehicles on the road these days?

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>There is?

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you get a car for sixteen nineinety like you

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 2>could in twenty twelve?

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can after COVID little ten k mos.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Not after COVID used.

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 4>Cars are up to seventeen eighteen nineteen K because they

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 4>can't get them imported.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot. She's not letting a lot of people merge,

0:01:58.880 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>is what I'm hearing.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, I think to go more for the Lexus community.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 3>There are some gripes against the Lexus community and the

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>BMW community as well.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I think this is hilarious.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic to be so.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 3>To be so self aware and really step into your power.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>As a Hyundai I thirty driver trophy.

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 4>What we will do now is profile people based on

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 4>what cars they drive. It's meant to be derogatory, so

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 4>if you take offense, just take it on the chin.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 3>We have a smart car here in a lime green colorway.

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 3>This is the kind of car that Tilda Swinton would drive.

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 3>No way, definitely, in a bit like in between movies.

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 3>She's taken on a mortgage is a little bit more

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>expensive than she ought to, so she had to make

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 3>some concessions.

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Enter I'm googling, not Carti's tatter Swinton drive.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>The green car.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 3>This is also likely imported, so a terrible choice because

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 3>it would be difficult to find parts.

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Up next is a message I.

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Listen to that everyone.

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 4>That's really good advice, because I bought an imported car.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 4>It was a two thousand and one Nissan Cube imported

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 4>from Japan, and it was terrible. I lived at the

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 4>mechanic and for what and for what? Tilda Swinton ambassador

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 4>for Mercedes in twenty fourteen, She's too cool for that

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 4>sleek long line S class coup.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 3>Would I let the person in the smart car in yes,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 3>because I'm afraid of your safety. It's a very dangerous

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 3>car to drive. My dad said, never get a smart car.

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Up next we have the Mazda. It is a white

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 3>colorway four door hatchback situation. This is a fantastic calf

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 3>for grandma's who have little, tiny grandchildren that need the

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>booster seat. Would I let this person in? I'm gonna say, surely.

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like quite an unbecoming. Yeah, it's quite an unassuming.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>It's for every person car.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 3>I definitely got quite a later model, so perhaps a

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 3>little retirement pay out there.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Number three we have the Cube Lilian's car piece to resistime.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Not the Govey, not the Guvey, the.

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Govey car like, No, this is actually a flex marks

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 3>a flex.

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Car for sure. If I could have a Cube now,

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 4>I would go and get one. They're just hard to

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 4>get in Australia. We'dest car ever for you.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's perfect, Like this is like.

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>A glitch in the system that you ever had this car.

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 4>I think this is the only car that actually makes

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 4>sense for me. Of course, now I drive a medium

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 4>sized luxury suz but that's only because I was like

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 4>scarred and cursed with the experience. I said, I can

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.239
<v Speaker 4>never go to a mechanic again. But I even struggle

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 4>with servicing.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 3>This car is like the car that you see on

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 3>maps when there's like a car moving.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I fade this car.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I hate this car. I create this car.

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I would let the merge out of jos and hate

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 3>this car. I let the merge out of pity. Nicky

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 3>loves this car. You guys have no sense about you.

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I think people would think you would also love this car. Okay.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Next we have the Ranger over.

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 3>This looks like a twenty fourteen to fifteen model. It's

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 3>certainly not the highest of the range. Probably should have

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>traded in by now and went for something a little

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 3>bit more within your price.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Trade in, How does the trade in even work it?

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>That's a myth.

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 3>Am I going to let someone in a luxury car

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 3>that is an earlier model than twenty twenty in No,

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>because you are running through Okay, the.

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Hyundai gets yellow model to door.

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 3>The other gets actually quite an expensive car to buy secondhand.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 3>I did look at them after my car was ransacked.

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Rip to my nises.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Because it's reliable, it's a reliable car.

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 3>It's very good value for money and a very great

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>petrol efficiency.

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Where's the Toyota Camri?

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Can we just have just to edge this video off?

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 3>If you have funds, if you have parents, will buy

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 3>you a car. If you have like a little tiny

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 3>bit of a nest egg situation happening and you'll want

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.239
<v Speaker 3>to buy a new car. If you need a second hand.

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Car, get a Camri.

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Buy a Toyota Corolla. It will last you forever. A

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Yarus is also a good choice if you can't go

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 3>for the full Corolla.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But if you ever need I didn't get.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>A Corolla and you regret it?

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 1>No, I just it just wasn't. It wasn't what I

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to pay.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Can I give my bit of advice?

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Is your family in the crentistry?

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 2>And she meant it too, And she meant it.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Combined my father and I combined fifty years in the

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 3>car industry.

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>You had your six month stick.

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 4>I just want to say, in my experienced buying cars,

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 4>both secondhand and cash up.

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Frump, you can't buy a car for.

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 4>What it looks like on the outside. It's what it

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 4>feels like in the inside. I bought No, I didn't know.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 4>I bought a Cube because I was like, I want

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 4>a square car.

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>That was my own. That was my only criteria. I

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 2>wanted square car.

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 4>I got the square car, and I was like, fabric seats,

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 4>this isn't eating. I don't know about this. I bought

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 4>my new car, which will not be named. The outside

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 4>is like nondescript, medium sized black suv, but inside, leather seats,

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 4>pushed to start. It's got RGB lights everywhere, ceramic coding,

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 4>It's got this panoramic sun roof. It's just luxury inside.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 4>And that feels better because you're inside the car when

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 4>you drive it exactly. I also think that growing up,

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 4>I was like.

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Ill, no, I think we're actually done. You said what

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>needed to be said. I recovered from the band.

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, thank you for cutting me off right when I

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 3>was going to become incriminated.

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.920
