Well maybe just if you if you create us to the best of your ability, So put it all our traits, dress us up, make us the right size, shape, haircut, whatever.

You'll have the little icon above your head where it's like thinking about pregnancy because I'm intuitive. I'm like my time.

Speaker 1

All right, brookiey, we love you. Let's get to the podcast. Wait any final words? Love you?

Speaker 2

She said, love you, bye bye. This is flex and firms, Kater.

Speaker 1

We are adults, believed or not. I know sometimes it doesn't seem like that, but it's true.

Speaker 3

Don't say we you you?

Speaker 1

And when I say we, I mean me and Brooke?

Speaker 3

Why are you implicating me? And when I enough?

Speaker 1

Okay, I am an adult. I mean technically I can speak on all of us if we look at the birth certificates. But I digress. As an adult, sometimes people find it difficult to make friends, and for them, I have this very special TikTok to help you out. It's from a tiktokical people, the common folk at j M fom play it.

Speaker 6

You want to make friends as an adult, go work somewhere that's toxic, because let me tell you something.

Speaker 3

Anyone who's ever had a toxic.

Speaker 6

Work environment or whatever, they know that your coworkers, those are your writer eyes. You've been in the trenches, You've seen the base of God. Together. I guarantee you nothing unites people the way that that does. Okay, Bethany and Kristen that work at the Olive Garden. They have a stronger friendship than anyone else on the planet because their boss is a dick. Okay, I promise if you want to make friends as an adult, you're going to have to start works working.

Speaker 5

Some of this.

Speaker 3

See they said trauma bond.

Speaker 1

This is fantastic news for anyone who's listening who's coming into those managerial positions be an asshole, because you will be helping young people bond. It's really a community service.

Speaker 3

That's amazing.

Speaker 1

I definitely like troll and bonded with old employees before. Do we remain friends? Absolutely? Are they going to support me in my future endeavors. Yeah, they're gonna be in references. They're gonna be supporting me, So I will say there. You know, they say they're hating someone does bring two people together, and I hate that. It's human nature though, is it not.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it's little something. I am anti trauma whet.

Speaker 4

I like to nip it in the bud when it happens because it feels really purposeful at the time. But it's like you said, for our rules of life that you need to neutralize any kind of trauma with something that's humorous or loving. In those relationships, when one of you heals quicker than the other, it's like, babes, please don't drag me back down. I don't want to be angry. I don't want to be sad. I don't want to

be and that's the core of our relationship. We both need to stay in this position for this to work out. But that's funny. I like that TikTok.

Speaker 2

You're listening to flex and Rooms on kit, but.

Speaker 1

A major lifetime land before you. It's not from my brain, it's from someone who's sent this in and it's super scary and very pertinent to most people in life. Roll dilemma, life or love. Sorry, yeah, I read that wrong. Major life dilemma, love or career. Okay, this is scary. I'm a twenty two year old man and I've just graduated with a first class degree, but I've been struggling to

get a job for the last five months. I have finally found an amazing job overseas seven hour flight as if that's relevant, with good progression and paid that will allow me to travel all over the world and kickstart my career. Sick when I try to bring it up with my twenty year old girlfriend of one year. She just breaks down and I'm worried that it won't last long distance. I've never had anything as good as this with anyone.

Speaker 3

Wait, everyone, you can't be.

Speaker 1

I'm not giggling.

Speaker 3

We're all smirking and giggling. We need to run, he said, flight Is that's relevant? Say one? Ye? Best I ever had, Best I ever had?

Speaker 1

Verbatim, I've never had anything anyone. But I feel I can't take this amazing job as it'll cost me my relationship, which is the best things ever had. If you didn't hear that earlier, I don't know if I should take the job or give it up and carry on trying to be near her where I haven't had any luck so far London. If I do take the job, how will I tell her? I know it will work from my side of the relationship, but I don't know if she's strong enough. Please, any advice would be in the world.

So we got a twenty year old man.

Speaker 3

We got it.

Speaker 1

Let me just recap what I just said right off the bat. I don't want to negate your feelings because I believe whatever age you're at, you think you're the most mature you'll ever be. I felt this all through my life, you know, seven years old. You think I'm seven on the half.

Speaker 4

Seen being like I could run meant, I know exactly how this should go.

Speaker 1

So yeah, I would say choose work. Yeah, choose working.

Speaker 3

Like it's long distance, not an option.

Speaker 4

Well, he thinks that she's not strong enough, which I say, I raised to you. Let her show aside for her, Yeah, let her show her strength. I believe she can do this. I think you should take the job, and I think you should pledge for money.

Speaker 1

I'm putting money on it. You put that money on it.

Speaker 4

It's easy to get into the habit of making decisions for somebody else when you can catch a vibe, right, you know, if you can see that she doesn't want to have the conversation with you, She doesn't seem open to it, she's not very excited by it. But I think that the easiest way for you to know what the best outcome is to pick the one that's not sad and.

Speaker 1

What's start taking the job.

Speaker 4

Yeah, take the job, but also leave the floor open for options on how it can work. And if she tells you I actually can't do that, then now you know it's not an option. Yeah, you've already you've already said it's been really hard to get a job. It's a priority to you. People have done long distance since the beginning of time. It can work, It does work for a lot of people, and you have the option.

Speaker 3

Might not be a great option for you, but actually don't know yet.

Speaker 1

Give it a sharking.

Speaker 3

Yeah, don't be premature with it.

Speaker 1

Froo meno through me boo, mmmy, let's mom.

Speaker 2

You're listening to flex and frooms on kata.

Speaker 4

According to a verified source, I e. A random person I saw on my TikTok feed at a point in time. They said, there's one question you need to ask someone to get an accurate depiction of what they really think about you. I said, my ears are poked pricked up. It's when TikTok user called it's girl kaylin k a I l I l y N play the tape.

Speaker 5

Okay, I'm about to go on a date. And it just reminded me of this question that I.

Speaker 7

Always ask guys, like who I have someone what of a relationship with And it just lets you know, subc anxiously like what they're thinking about you, and I want you to ask them right.

Speaker 5

Now, whatever guy you're talking to right now, ask them this. If you saw a whole wunch of cut cars and police coming into the room with us to come and take me away in handcuffs, what would you assume that they were taking me to jail for?

Speaker 3

Let's do it. I want to start with you. I want to really think about it.

Speaker 1

Tax fraud. You have multiple businesses.

Speaker 4

I wish howd I have known what I know now?

Speaker 3

I started years ago. Remember what I told you.

Speaker 4

I don't know if I said it on air, off air, whatever. But I was watching Animal Kingdom. It says show on Netflix about these gangs. Would they call themself a gang?

Speaker 3

I don't know.

Speaker 4

But anyway, one of their hustles was cleaning money through rentals and I was like, whoa, what is money? Latering, I said, what is that? Now we're in twenty twenty three, it's cod cock cot everywhere.

Speaker 3

Why I bring my cash?

Speaker 1

Pay?

Speaker 3

We bring back hash anyway, Thank you, yep, thank you.

Speaker 1

Tax evasion, tax fraud, money laundering, I guess comes under that bucket.

Speaker 3

Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1

In this trench moment, yay.

Speaker 4

If I saw you with a bunch of cop cars, surrounding you. I would say something involving being a Karen. I just think that through me has like a personality right under the surface. And I don't know what it is, but I feel like whatever the crime would be, i'd be like, you know, I could see it coming the whole time, same murder. Like, whatever it is, it's it's not gonna be it's gonna be everything personality driven. I don't think it's gonna be any paperwork.

Speaker 1

Continue the roast Brook.

Speaker 3

I think it'll be Karen related.

Speaker 6

So someone's pissed her off in Karen like ways, so she's framing them for something.

Speaker 4

Oh, I definitely think she she I think for me as a cop, connect too, because it's coming up.

Speaker 3

We should smile at cops.

Speaker 4

If you ever get into troubles, you know them too much too well that you're maybe she's an informant. Undergrad is an informant. Yeah, okay, I'm for sure.

Speaker 1

I mean I see informant for me for sure. For sure.
