Speaker 1: On Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 1: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. Today
Speaker 1: is Friday, and thank goodness for getting to the bottom
Speaker 1: of some lies our parents told us as kids. I
Speaker 1: went at my mum. She never liked me in my life,
Speaker 1: your parents. However, you're with Flex and Frooms. Here we go.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kaita.
Speaker 1: It's not often we talk about fashion on Flex and Frooms,
Speaker 1: but we should because we are quite well dressed people.
Speaker 1: It's been said by many beforehand. But we've come across
Speaker 1: this trend and look like I don't necessarily think that,
Speaker 1: Like I'm at the abreast of what trends are pumping
Speaker 1: and whatever to the point where I'm introducing them into
Speaker 1: my wardrobe.
Speaker 2: I think you're pretty abreast.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think people dress the way that I
Speaker 1: dress in the way that I dress, to be honest,
Speaker 1: but I think I'm a very stylish babe. Who do
Speaker 1: you know is wearing blazes and a lace scope? So
Speaker 1: vogues talking about this concept called the wrong shoe theory.
Speaker 1: It was dubbed by a stylist called Alison Bornstein, and
Speaker 1: it simply involves picking the most expected you to finish
Speaker 1: off your look, in her words, giving it more personality.
Speaker 1: She says that essentially people's outfits and the way they
Speaker 1: express themselves with their clothes can become quite tired and
Speaker 1: quite just like formulaic in a way that doesn't really
Speaker 1: serve them. So basically, she says that when you're getting
Speaker 1: dressed in the morning, just pick the wrong shoe for
Speaker 1: the outfit and it'll give the impression that you've put
Speaker 1: a lot of effort into your outfit. Combinations you can
Speaker 1: try is wearing flip flops or thongs with a tailored trouser,
Speaker 1: wearing dad sneakers with a pretty sun dress, wearing heels
Speaker 1: with bike shorts. Now you're a pioneer of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: been doing that one for years as we know now,
Speaker 1: she says. The trick is, if you're really unsure of
Speaker 1: where to start when you are putting on your outfit. Right,
Speaker 1: let's say you're wearing like a two piece blazer, your
Speaker 1: instinct is go pick up the court shoe or the
Speaker 1: point toe, put that down and getting at the complete opposite.
Speaker 1: So what is the opposite of a fancy shoe, a casual,
Speaker 1: a chunky boot, whatever you want to do. Give that
Speaker 1: a go. The older I get and the more experiments
Speaker 1: I get with fashion, the less I want to do differently.
Speaker 1: I like formulate dressing. I think that a lot of
Speaker 1: fashion should be utility, once you figured out there's a
Speaker 1: way to feel good outside of what you wear. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's just putting on clothes. It's not Stephanovic codd, it's
Speaker 1: not literally Carl Stephanovick covid. It's not every day change
Speaker 1: the world with your outfit. Okay, it is not often
Speaker 1: that I call out my co host and producer, but
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in the studio, a few
Speaker 1: unbecoming things were said to me. I did not decide
Speaker 1: to escalate it to hate job, because we're not in
Speaker 1: their good graces at the moment. However, we had a
Speaker 1: canine in the studio for a good friend. His name's Abel.
Speaker 1: Don't know what bready is, but he's hot, and so
Speaker 1: I had a personal connection with Abel above board, of course,
Speaker 1: to which Room and Mickey said in various ways multiple
Speaker 1: times for the next I don't know Hour. I don't
Speaker 1: think you were a dog person. I don't think you
Speaker 1: hate animals. I don't think you're a dog person, And
Speaker 1: initially I don't really think much of it, but then
Speaker 1: it started to dawn on me. I think that's derogatory.
Speaker 1: You wake up with cree aally like it came to
Speaker 1: and I said, wait a second. People who aren't animal
Speaker 1: people I don't think are good people. I feel as
Speaker 1: though someone who has a natural inclination towards liking animals,
Speaker 1: we perceive them to be like nice and generous and
Speaker 1: open and whatever. So if you don't like animals, that's
Speaker 1: not a good thing.
Speaker 2: That's a fallacy. I have self described as someone who
Speaker 2: hates dogs.
Speaker 1: Which is so odd considering that you are a chuaa.
Speaker 2: I wasn't meaning it in a derogatory way.
Speaker 1: You never are. And I will say, though I would
Speaker 1: speak on behalf of the community when I would say,
Speaker 1: I'm very confused by you personally not liking dogs because
Speaker 1: you've got a dog in your family, two dogs, two
Speaker 1: dogs in your family. You also part of your brand
Speaker 1: is so synerg just with chiuahwas that it's very confusing.
Speaker 1: It'd be like if you said I didn't like Shrek.
Speaker 1: You are Shrek, but no.
Speaker 2: I don't like Shrek.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing through me lives a lie,
Speaker 1: and we'll get into her lies at a later day.
Speaker 1: But I will say I like animals that like me.
Speaker 1: I like hot animals, pretty animals. And I also realize
Speaker 1: I'm using the same mentality I use with children on animals,
Speaker 1: and that's treat them like people treat them well. So
Speaker 1: I like, I want to be friend and animal. I
Speaker 1: want to see if there's a vibe. I don't want
Speaker 1: to just impose myself. That's why I'm really funny about
Speaker 1: just touching random dogs on the street. We don't know
Speaker 1: each other, I agree. So when you a dog comes
Speaker 1: into the studio, let me get to know you, and
Speaker 1: if there's.
Speaker 2: A vibe, may I pat may I.
Speaker 1: So there's something that Also, I feel like something happened
Speaker 1: to me over the past five months. My life changed
Speaker 1: and now I'm an animal whisperer. Animals love me, kids
Speaker 1: love me. It's odd connecting with them all the time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe I wasn't an animal person and you
Speaker 1: clocked that correctly, but now things are changed. Very happy
Speaker 1: for Youwflex, Thank you.
Speaker 2: I have discovered something rather alarming.
Speaker 1: The other day.
Speaker 2: I was at Universal, It is a club on Oxford
Speaker 2: Street in Surrey. Hill's darling host. Have you been there? Flex,
Speaker 2: I have, yes, your honor, fantastic place, lots of drags, performances, Mickey,
Speaker 2: have you been there? Yes, I have your already thoughts
Speaker 2: what he thoughts on her.
Speaker 3: Hmmm, not my favorite. Really, I have other clubs of
Speaker 3: choice that I would prefer, but if you do want
Speaker 3: a good time, it is up there in the five.
Speaker 2: I will say, I think I was the only place
Speaker 2: that was opened now when I am on a Sunday,
Speaker 2: so I made the most of that. Had some fantastic
Speaker 2: cocktail options. Definitely met some interesting folks. I did meet
Speaker 2: a guy who was wearing a blazer. He came up
Speaker 2: to me, He's like, I love your podcast. Like, I
Speaker 2: don't think you really knew who I was, to be honest,
Speaker 2: but it was a crazy night. And why the blazer
Speaker 2: call out because he had this blaze over his shoulder.
Speaker 2: And I was like, he's like, I just I just
Speaker 2: got displazer off my client who's gone to jail.
Speaker 1: It's celebrating. Yeah, it's like you said, a win is
Speaker 1: a win. I said this sort of say.
Speaker 2: I was dancing, getting down and realize, like my instinct
Speaker 2: is to put my hands above my head. When I dance,
Speaker 2: go above my head. I went to a festival the
Speaker 2: other day. Why does nobody dance with their hands above
Speaker 2: their head?
Speaker 1: I didn't know generational shifts and differences with this real,
Speaker 1: but we're living through them constantly. Yes, it's so odd
Speaker 1: that I can easily clock someone who's millennial coded, not
Speaker 1: just by fine lines and crows feet, but just behavior.
Speaker 1: As you said, hands in the air, very millennial. Whoo,
Speaker 1: hand in.
Speaker 2: The air when the crows feed started coming in, Like
Speaker 2: I swear that happened in a month.
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. I've not got experience
Speaker 1: with it. But actually I've heard.
Speaker 2: Fru meno through me boo.
Speaker 3: Mummy likes mom.
Speaker 2: You're listening to flex and rooms on kit. Last week
Speaker 2: I did something very very brave, ladies and gentlemen everyone else.
Speaker 2: I came out and outed myself as someone with gut
Speaker 2: et soriasis. Crisis is a skin condition that's maybe ten
Speaker 2: percent of people get. I don't even know I'm pulling
Speaker 2: that out of my ass, but I got soriasis allegedly
Speaker 2: from getting strep throat. I don't remember having strip throat.
Speaker 1: But we do recall that week where Frumy was obnoxiously
Speaker 1: sick in sh we have to wear masks.
Speaker 2: No videos came that.
Speaker 1: We also needed time off. You were unwell and we
Speaker 1: couldn't get time off, So that's what I had to
Speaker 1: come in. You were really unwell. You're just forgotten.
Speaker 2: Yes, pain has no memory. I went on this like
Speaker 2: what's it called on? This kind of someone will know
Speaker 2: what it is.
Speaker 1: It's like a pantheron.
Speaker 2: Not that it was still medical grade, but some sort
Speaker 2: of like cream thing that I'd put on every night,
Speaker 2: steroid cream. Stereoid cream didn't work.
Speaker 1: Oh, so I went back to the doctor. Modern medicine
Speaker 1: fails us.
Speaker 2: And this is just essentially a pe safe for anyone
Speaker 2: who has crisis.
Speaker 1: Gut eight cirisis Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it would work for other crisis,
Speaker 2: but someone messaged me saying, hey, through me, love your potty.
Speaker 2: It sucks regarding crisis. Also, when I went to the doctor,
Speaker 2: she's like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I was like,
Speaker 2: is it big of it? Is that big of a deal,
Speaker 2: Like I don't even care about to get worse? Yeah,
Speaker 2: She's like looking like it was some sort of death senter.
Speaker 2: Oh so that's simply a skin condition. Miss said, I'm
Speaker 2: bind into red light therapy at the moment for my
Speaker 2: skin and joint issues. And there's research and helps crisis.
Speaker 2: Your man Hubanman has an episode on the benefits of
Speaker 2: red light therapy. The evidence is compelling worth a google ps.
Speaker 2: Red light will also help us be twenty three forever.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I am twenty four already. That's all I want.
Speaker 2: But I said to her, I found this stuff the
Speaker 2: doctor gave me. It's actually a foam that you like
Speaker 2: spray on your body. And it's a foam. This has
Speaker 2: Look at my crisis now, guys.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not even there, barely there, barely there.
Speaker 2: I can't tell you what I've used, but it is something.
Speaker 2: Go to the doctor say I've got the crisis and
Speaker 2: not going away. The steroid cream isn't working, see what
Speaker 2: they say, and your soris might also go away. Yay.
Speaker 1: But also there's pride in crisis.
Speaker 2: We have our darling Mickey in the studio. She's our producer, Mikayla.
Speaker 1: We love her.
Speaker 2: Say Hi, Mickey, Hi, what's one thing you love about
Speaker 2: Mikayla flex.
Speaker 1: Guys, I would say she has the best disposition, like
Speaker 1: she's so genuinely like warm to be around. The way
Speaker 1: she listens, I think is always with enthusiasm. She's always
Speaker 1: happy to share. I love love love. From a professional standpoint,
Speaker 1: that she maintains this air of excitement but also helps
Speaker 1: us get the job done to the best of our ability,
Speaker 1: which is a fine line to cross. It well, oh yes,
Speaker 1: direct quote what do you love?
Speaker 2: Especially godd when you get to the end of anything,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get out here.
Speaker 1: Hearing us talk way to Nicky's a joy.
Speaker 2: I like everything about Mickey. Mickey, you said that you
Speaker 2: found out that your parents lied to you the other day.
Speaker 2: Please give us the tea.
Speaker 3: What happened was I saw this article and it was
Speaker 3: just like things that parents lie about, and I was like,
Speaker 3: that's funny. And then I remembered a story that my
Speaker 3: friend told me, and she said, so, let's call him Jimmy.
Speaker 3: She has his friend called Jimmy and Jimmy his whole
Speaker 3: life ever since he was like fourteen. His parents said,
Speaker 3: you're allergic to alcohol, Jimmy, like you can't, like you
Speaker 3: don't touch it, We're all allergic to alcohol, Like don't
Speaker 3: don't go there, don't go there. And obviously he goes
Speaker 3: through puberty he's living his life, and then you know,
Speaker 3: maybe like at nineteen eighteen, he started thinking, why are
Speaker 3: we all?
Speaker 1: What happened to alcohol?
Speaker 3: So one day Jimmy tries it and realize that it
Speaker 3: was all alive.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with that, and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, how often have our parents lied to us?
Speaker 3: I mean, what about don't speak? Man in the red suit?
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh, you know? Yeah, this is definitely when the
Speaker 1: man upstairs, I said, what are you talking about? What's
Speaker 1: talking about? I will say I remember in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: when people realized racism was real, there was this Reddit
Speaker 1: threat about this family saying that they've been using Harry
Speaker 1: Potter as a way to teach their kids about racism
Speaker 1: by talking about muggles and witches and pure breads and whatever.
Speaker 1: And so basically instead of just telling the kid about
Speaker 1: the real world, they use exclusively Harry Potter speak, and
Speaker 1: so the kid doesn't really understand that they have an
Speaker 1: understanding of racism. They just know it just kind of
Speaker 1: like made them really interested in Harry Potter for a
Speaker 1: strange reason. So they're kind of saying, like, what is
Speaker 1: the appropriate way to be Like, no, this is not
Speaker 1: doesn't just happen in Harry Potter World. This happens in
Speaker 1: the real world everywhere without kind of ruining their understanding
Speaker 1: of their new favorite show. And everyone's like, this is
Speaker 1: so twenty twenty. Just tell the kid, Just tell the kid.
Speaker 1: And then it turned into this greater issue of like parents,
Speaker 1: especially using like euphemisms instead of being honest with their children,
Speaker 1: because when do you stop, like, when do you get
Speaker 1: the fantasy and just be like, hey, actually it was me.
Speaker 1: I'm the tooth fairy.
Speaker 2: I say never. I think my parents feel lie to me.
Speaker 3: My mum only calls farts fluffies. Oh and so when
Speaker 3: everyone was being like, that's a fart, I was like, no,
Speaker 3: that's a fluffy.
Speaker 2: And it still is still fluffy, A fluffy kind of girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah for real, she ate with that one. Yeah. You've
Speaker 1: been listening to The Flex and Froom's daily podcast.
