Always Sonny, Always Sunny.

A flexin Frooms live show recording brought to you by CATA and Specsavers.

Welcome back to the Flex and Froom Show.

Happy Friday, Happy Friday, Say Flex, Flex, say rooms, frooms?

And what is that flexen fruit?

That's not disembodied voices. We're not in a simulation. We are on the island. Thanks to spectivators, Always Sonny, we have one hundred and fifty of our favorite friends, influencers, media bosses, coworkers and best friends.

Thank you, sex Savers. We've got Sundays on as well.

You can't see them, but the coolness is cooling while it is up. This is Flex and Firms. Let's get to it. O Kta, Flex and Frooms.

You're listening to Flex and Frooms. What the frick now? FLEXI.

As you know, when you google your name, stuff comes up when you google flex, Mummy, what comes up?

While we're waiting? I must submit. I'm prone to a little Google of frooms. It's only natural.

You need to keep the hygiene popping on the Googles.

Do you know what I mean?

For many years when I googled my name, it was nothing but fantastic results.

My TikTok. I don't Google anymore.

We've got flex mummy, boyfriend controversy, Hobart Croox, jewelry podcasts, Sydney makeup.

I want to hear about this. Controverts not bad, It's not bad boys. So mine's always been.

Frooms age, listening to Froomes not my real name, Listen.

To price A, it is your real name. Listen to firms.

Price and A Haunted. I would call it haunted. Originally, new Google search came up.

Froom's weight game did come up? Came up? It did, It'd be like.

That out here, and my initial feeling I was actually texting my friend Ricky, who's here, but I won't point her out, Are we sure?

Okay?

Well she's in the white sunnies. That's Ricky, a count very funny person, and she's like, for me, I want you to send me your sandwich guide. I've done a sandwich guide to Melbourne and Sydney, as one does when they gain weight, and I google Frooms to find my newsletter and it's the first thing that comes out Froom's Waycane. Obviously,

Because I think we all.

Do it, Like I think when someone who's a movie star their body changes, I think you're prone to want to know about it. I know Jonah Hill, for example, talks about it a lot. There's been a preoccupation with his weight, yes, sir, and how you know, how he feels about that and how the people respond to it. So I guess for me, it's kind of like an adjustment thinking, maybe this is maybe it's relatable for people to gain weight, lose weight, all that stuff. Why does

What do you think, FLEXI?

I think it makes me feel of like the contradiction between like wanting to be seen but not wanting to be perceived. I think we want to be noticed and validated when it feels good and when it looks good, and when it strokes that part about ego that's like, yes they see me, Yes they notice me, but you never really take the time to be like, what are they really seeing? Are they really noticing? And being made aware? I was gonna use the word confronted, but it's not that.

You're like, oh, that is the sum.

Of me to people who are looking for me, like this is what they want to know.

Fascinating. However, there is a final twist to the tail Ooh.

Okay, so tm me saying, and it was a random man saying, Hey, Frooms, just want to let you know there's a cyclist called Chris Froom.

Anyone know Chris from Paddle Up? Yeah?

Around the back there cycling fan, and he said to me, I saw a recent story and it just so happens that Chris Froom, the cyclist has put on an inordinate inordinate amount of weight post cycling. It's because of Chris Froom, to which I thought, you know what, even if it is that, I'm gonna wear this.

This is who I am.

But if you want to google brown hair, frooms, hottie, go ahead.

That's not that A few options, a few options to play with. Yeah, thank you for listening. It was an interesting moment for me.

And now I feel totally kind of okay with it, which is a very interesting mindset when you're still totally cognizant of what it's like to not be fine with it.

Do you feel neutral about it? Knowing that often you're googling similar things? I mean, like, what do they tell you when you google something?

Simple? Search terms?

Don't over complicate it, right? So if I was going to google like Drake Child, right, it's done neutral, there's no feeling towards it yet. Do you feel neutral about it? Or is some part of you like checking this seat? Like what else are people saying? What else do they want to know?

I think there's two parts of me. One part it makes you spiral and think, what are people not? Are people not interested in what I have to say?

People not interested in what I'm doing?

Is it just about a look thing? Because that's always been like a touchy thing for me. But No, from a neutral perspective, I don't. I don't think it's neutral honestly, because I well, I guess they do it about men in the public eye.

I don't know why it's so fascinating. It's kind of like I'm I'm not.

I'm confused because I find I find it interesting, But then there's part of me that wishes it wasn't interesting because I'm on the receiving end. So what I do now is I don't google people wake, I don't seek out new information in case it's of no I do. I'm a turn a blind eye, nothing but positivity, flex and frooms.

They're the best. What a chuo? Right now? It's am I the asshole? But live? So it's juicy.

Am I the asshole for making my neighbor pay five thousand dollars for offense.

Off the top?

No?

But I'm willing to have my mind changed.

So me and my friends moved into a beautiful home.

You yeah, this is your story, it's my real life story. It was a boy.

Accordingly everyone, we introduced ourselves to our neighbors, as you do do, and we gave them our numbers. In the first week, we got a little bit too carried away and we made too much noise and we're playing with fire in the backyard and somebody called the cops on us anonymously a little bit. Do we know at the time that that started a feud with the next door neighbor. The next day we had a warning from the real estate threatening eviction.

Oh whoa yikes.

On occasion, my female housemates would be often topless in the backyard when we're by the pool or doing.

Gardening as one does in their home. They don't like ten lines.

One day, the mom from next door starts hurdling abuse at us. She's saying things like, we have a seven and nine year old they can see outside those windows.

This was during school hours as well.

I don't know where you are, we know who to call, we know who to call, and I'm sure you guys are used to podiums. We suspected it was insecurity from the husband from her for the husband because his office looked out to our backyard. Yes, the morning after my birthday party, they were totally abused at us again and the mom said, I feel like I'm living next to a frat house. And I thought this was so ironic because if you've seen the movie Bad Neighbors, which you

How do they know your real estate? Oh? They were like tight with the.

Old landlord, but he was just getting so tired of them because he had they had their numbers, and basically the real estate was just like, look, we're gonna cancel this. Oh, because they actually lied to the real estate on a legal document, which we should never ever do. They said that the jumping castle was on for twenty four to seven. They said that the music was too loud and the

It after oh yeah, they need to add some realistic stuff to this.

Email thankfully got revoked.

And then when we spoke to the real estate she was like, don't worry about it. The owner's just annoyed because they're trying to split the cost with him. A few weeks later, the construction of a fifty meter fence that was about yeah, hi, less than a meter had begun. Hashtag free the nipple?

Am I the asshole? Oh?

I think I get it. They constructed a fence.

Absolutely, it was ridiculous.

It was petty, so we won in the end, and.

They wanted you to split the cost of the fence and their kids couldn't see your house made nipples.

With the landlord.

Ah, how do people have time in the day to do this? If I have to work a full time job and beef with my neighbors, I don't think I could do it.

So who is the asshole?

I just think by virtue of proximity to us, you could never be the asshole.

I'm a right or die, so i'mer back you to the end.

But also I just worry about the It's like there's something about this ownership people feel over the things in proximity to them, like it's not even in your house, babe.

Get a hobby. It's so tiring.

But also what really spooks me is the length they're going to to prove a point, because that you should be worried about. I'm always so like fearful of people who won't just let things go and who also can't humanize you as people who pay to live next door.

Do you know what I'm saying.

We've all seen it out, We've all seen it, we know where this goes.

Stay safe, babe.

Brent's Rights flicks, and it's time to ask the big question of the day. What is the etiquette if you were told that someone was gonna get you a gift and they didn't give it to you, what.

Do you do? Then?

Number one, what is a scenario when this would happen. I've had people go overseas and be like, oh my goodness, I want to get you some when I get back, like oh I'm going to Panama, I'm gone your so and so and so I'm going to do this, or when they miss your birth baby, like oh no, I gotta get you a gift.

I missed your birthday?

What is the etiquette there? Would you follow up a little hush hush in the gallery?

Please?

Folk for what I'm about to say, I've been on both ends. I got a friend whose birthday are missed, and she's really got it picking presents, and I say I'll take her out for dinner.

Never do. I've also a Peter offender. It's happened multiple times, not only once.

But I've been in a situation where I might have told you this story before.

That's fine.

I did ice skating as a small child, and I met this chick from school and I took her ice skating. We did a lap and she goes, my mum's in the car outside and she's got a baby born.

She's going to give you a baby born. I remember this. I do remember the story.

I do.

Of course, there was no baby born in the car, and I never.

Saw her again, and I knew how that felt doing those laps and laps around the ice skating ring thing life in anticipation.

Your friend has brought me a baby born. Yeah, I'm sorry, baby, So I think it's a terrible thing to do, Like that's a core memory for me. Yeah, that's crazy. Okay, okay, well let's take it to the crowd.

I want someone to feels confident enough to articulate themselves on this topic.

What is the etiquette if someone's promised you a gift and.

The gift has not arrived, tuddle up and we'll get a microphone at you.

There we go. That was a strong paddle in the front, the gorgeous That was so quick. Okay. I think if someone says that they're going to get you a gift, they're not getting you.

A gift like straight off the back.

Because if you're going to get someone a gift, you're not gonna tell them.

You're gonna want to surprise them with it.

Yeah, I know, thanks, that's show.

Don't tell I want to hear from you more. The fluorescent yellow head angel in the back.

There, please year more of that.

I think the way to bring it up is like kind of as a joke, like you'll be like, you'll just bring it up. Someone will be like, oh, talking about like something kind of related but it kind of not, and you, yeah, remember that gift you're meant to get.

Me or something.

I think that's probably the best way, and then you can eat either the option to laugh it off or like kind of confront them about it.

This is okay.

You've got a great comedic timing for that, because otherwise it's passive aggressive.

You know.

But I'm twelve.

I don't know anybody else's got an opinion. I'm intrigued. Yeah, up from here.

I reckon you should be impeccable with your word. If you say you're going to do something, go ahead with it. Otherwise you will lose your credibility.

Absolutely so.

If you're on the receiving end of somebody who promised to get you a gift and didn't, what are you doing, then.

Bring it up, be transparent and if they get your gift, you get your gift.

Life's unfair.

And this is why I ask these questions because like we've had three, three similar ish answers, but it begs the question, why aren't we impeccable with our word?

You know? Second to that, stop saying we're going to hang out if we're.

Not going to hang out, simple as that, Simple as that.

This is flex and frooms. We have a.

Listener in South Korea. She says she misses the girl chat. So she says to us, we also have someone in Canberra.

She said it was like South Korea.

Anyone from Canberra here not what why would you?

Ah? Yesha? Is she really? Oh? I saw an eye roll? I said, oh is that personal? Sorry?

Guys, I'm a camera fan. Everyone that I know who's from Canberra rocks. But alas I digress. Me Lacunas and Ashton Kutcher the perfect couple in theory and on paper. But wait for's more FLEXI what are your opinions on pooing and also peeing?

You said, no more pooh talk.

I know, and I said, I'm not arguing with people about Hi June in twenty twenty three.

I left that in last year. Well, unfortunately this calls for desperate measures.

Okay, what's the question?

Ashton Kutcha and me Lacunas have an open door toilet door policy in their household.

His eyes not with guy, So.

We're gonna need to get a little microphone over to our friend.

What's your name, Susann? I have to be honest, guys. Pull stinks seriously like it calls for hail Blake. It's called opera, called doctor Phil.

It's real.

What about open door policy for just a simple number one.

For a number one. I'm so sorry, I'm not doing that.

Paddles are, paddles are Let's just let's just be real with one another for a quick second.

Please everybody close your eyes.

Is that a respector please close your eyes minor closed.

The year is twenty twenty three February seventeen. Correct, and you've just gone to the club and you have met a man or a woman or whoever.

That takes your fancy.

I can see some open eyes down the back, close them up, you take them home, going well, best X of.

Your life, if you know what I'm saying.

Correct, they do a number two in the toilet with the door ajar, Why because you're having the best You're having the best DNM you've ever had with another human being. Now open your eyes, it's on sweet. Will you see them again?

Yes? You did? You just met.

Let me get a straight You've just met your soul mate and the door is a jar because you are having a DNM the best person you've ever met in your life. I understand he doesn't mean to have it open a little bit.

You know, look.

What you've done.

I mean it's a situation when the dms are hitting the dms are hitting and by DMS I mean dn MS.

Yeah, so this.

Has been an illuminating experience. That's about all I wanted to talk about. But just have a think about that again. If you were to meet your soulmate, what would actually turn you off?

And I say this sort of same. I don't think that's correct. I shop with the door open.

Okay, my three best friends at the back of saying say.

My soulmate feels shame. My soulmate wouldn't do that to me. It's an odd thing to do. But I think later on, in another time, we should have a conversation about how people think that showing your worst self equals intimacy, showing your grossest self equals intimacy.

I don't feel that way.

I don't feel closer to a person because you can fight in front of me.

That has nothing to do with me. That's all you. That's important.
