We love chit chatting, so whatever we can't say on air, we put here, In our catchup podcast! Every weekday we bring you a replay of our show and an extended segment just for the podcast (like this one!). 

Flex and Frooms. Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.

Happy Monday guys. Today we chat about why you can't dive to the bottom of the ocean. Very very enthralling conversation.

Let's go. You're listening to Flex and Frooms.

We well, when I say we, I like Joe Jonas. I have been a big fan of Jojonas, probably for the last year. I think I got involved with Jojonas fandom probably when his brother came out with Jealous an Energy, Who's.

Up now puffing him Coming? We love that song.

Anyway, we saw that Joe Jonas and Soviet Turner broke up recently, and so Joe Jonas is on the top of our feed for Better or Worse Mickey producer Mickey has found a grab discussing how Joe Jonas looks in person.

I just walked into a CDs and the security guy goes, oh, Joe, and I said, hey, man, what's going on? And then like go shake your hand and he goes, man, and you look crazy in person?

I am.

I don't know. Is that a compliment? Babes?

If you're asking if something is a compliment, respectfully, you have been dragged. You have been dragged in CBS of all places I used to get so I never forget. I can't remember if I've said this on air, but I remember a few years ago I went and did a spin class, and midway through the spin class, the chick's like, is this packed house?

Oh my god?

Are you? Are you frooms? Are you frooms?

And I was like yeah, yeah.

She's like I thought you would be way. You're way taller in personal say something about like my height, and I just remember being like, that's like neither here nor there in terms of savagery. But I just remember be like, oh my god, it's such a weird feeling to be perceived as like crazy old, taller or fall or shorter. You have to experience something like that.

Girls, I feel like I am shorter in person, but people don't usually mention it. I like to ask sorry, i'm sound effects. I like to ask you to double check, but it starts and stops there, because I don't people talking about my appearance unless it's positive, and I'm talking like objectively positive, not read between the lines. Was that a compliment? Clear enough? Leave me out of it, Micky, what about you? Doll at my old office.

In lockdown, we used to play a game that was commissioned by me where we would guess people's heights if they started during lockdown. So obviously, like when people joined the team and then they started in lockdown, you wouldn't know how tall anyone was. And then I made like, everyone like, guess how tall?

Do we think?

So?

And so I was like, do they give tall or short energy?

Does anyone can.

Tell by people's necks next lengths? Yeah? Like short people have short necks, they say, And once you start looking it, it makes sense. See, I think I have a longer than average neck. I thought you were taller in person, you so as in you thought I was going to be shorter. No, I thought you'd be taller. Oh really yeah, tiny tot Oh No, I don't even know how tall for me is, to be honest.

Because I thought, I don't know. I just looked at all your photos and I just assumed you'd be like towering over me.

No, babe, you on the face tune for you. A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about the term eco anxiety and how it's gendered. Eco anxiety is this idea that women are disproportionately feeling responsible for saving the planet, and that includes making small changes, like I mean, they're not even small changes. But Frooms, for example, does this really great thing where she takes a mug to a cafe to reduce her single use plastic. She always drinks out of a reus or bottle she shops secondhand. This is something that I feel like a lot of my women friends do. They're making a lot of small, small changes because they feel personally responsible. And I read this article that says, isn't it interesting how the discussion around climate anxiety doesn't really feel like it's hitting the men as deeply. And I don't know, maybe it is. But we have a listener letter from a person called Charlotte who says, I was listening to the pod the other day where you're discussing how women in the home tend to bear most of the responsibility or the fear to do with small acts of climate action, and it got me thinking about how this expands outside of the home. Stereotypical male hobbies an interest golfing, fishing, car animal racing, and so on or can have immense and negative environmental impacts, and yet this doesn't seem to be a conversation with male friendship circles. Comparatively, more and more women are being climate conscious with their hobbies, learning how to sew, croche, to make long lasting clothes, opshop, garden, cook with what's around. It got me thinking as to where in the world this difference may have arisen from. Would love to hear your thoughts, love you all, what do you reckon for me?

Wah wah we were I feel like if we had to go through like quote unquote again like women's hobbies, if we're going to go full gender, and you can find just as many that are like bad for the environment. I think this is like a selective look at things, and like how many people are actually crocheting? To be honest, the only time I've taken up, I've just thrown out what I've made, damn so but you know some of us just i't have it like that, as you say, like, I feel like there's plenty of things that is golfing bad to the environment. I guess they're pulling down trees to make it. But Sydney Siders will be excited to learn that they Brassis.

Takes a lot of water to maintain oh the buggy are surely that's all the balls going into the water. I think it just keeps coming back to the fact that if we want any kind of positive change, we can't be relying on the many. It really is individual, like the compounding impact of the individual, the individual, the individual, because if you look around with anything that matters, there will always be one person doing more than their neighbor. And that is just the way. Unfortunately. I think it just comes to how you can sleep at night. And I feel as though like climate guilt is a really interesting one and it's like a lot of guilt. It lacks a lot of purpose, Like it makes you feel special because you feel bad, but you don't really do anything about it anyway. So it's like I feel like it's all in the title. It needs to be less climate anxiety and more climate action major.

I have been in a little bit of a Reddit hole recently. I saw this meme which was like googling something and then putting Reddit at the end to get an actual answer, and that's not like fluff elet really. I just wish everyone on the planet, if you haven't already gotten around Reddit, which I'm sure you have, if you're a listener. It's truly my favorite place on the Internet. Also, I had such like an individuality pick me complex in high school because I would go on Reddit and I feel like I knew more.

Than anyone else.

Anyway, it obviously still hasn't Warner.

You probably did at the time. If you were on Reddit in primary school you said no.

High school?

High school still all yeah, I don't know what on earth.

I wish you could go back in the archives and see what you search for. Too real, I've made a few Burner accounts I haven't been known, haven't been known anyway. I came across this question about why I can't dive to the mottom of the ocean like we always I've wondered, like how can there be things that live on the bottom of the ocean, but then humans can only get to a certain point before like dying.

Do you know why that is? FLEXI the pressure that you'll just implode?

And how does that work? Like what about your body is imploding? Like is it the pressure on all sides?

Is that the vibe well, like the density of the water, right, Like the further you go because like let's say you go a meter down let's say that's you're only a meter down, it's only a meter of water pressure that's on you. You go two hundred meters down, two hundred meters of pressure on.

You from the top, from the top. Yeah, hmm, interesting, Well I think you might be incorrect. But also for ages, I just thought it was because you can't hold your breath underwater.

Oh you thought that was it? Kind of huh?

How else does the mermaid's happen? Anyway, I found an answer that's gonna.

Peauk everyone's interests.

I lay ready, Okay, So for example, let's use the fish that live down the bottom meter. How there's like those blob fish that's crazy. If you bring them deep water fish to the surface, they will expand and die. And that's the reason why the blobfish looks like a blob. It's somewhat normal at pressure, but then you bring it up and that's why it looks like it's melted. I'm hearing the phrase pressure in there, and I did say pressure, but this person thinks I think the major factor that hasn't been discussed is the presence of compressible materials. So humans have air in their bodies, primarily in their lungs, but also in the sinus's joints and blood. As you dive down this air gets compressed. This is actually an interesting phenomena in free diving. When you start diving, you actually are pretty buoyant and you have to kick downwards. But once you get a few meters down, the water pressure compresses your lungs enough that you begin to sink on your own.

I hat okay. However, however, I wondered as.

Well, what happens when you go into space, because we know as well don't people explode when they go into space? Like in water you compress and then I think you explode, like that's.

Explode and inplod. But I guess it's water versus some kind of not air matter. I don't know. Well to look at the other way.

If you were ejected from a spaceship, you have the chance to get to another ship, you would want to breathe out otherwise your lungs explode. Why do the lungs explode instead of the air just being forced out of them through your nose and mouth. From an in atmosphere perspective, experiencing a rapid depressurization, you'll only be damaged if you try to forcefully hold your breath, so you want to just open your nose and mouth and push it out. So yeah, that's interesting in case.

Your nose huh, what do you mean open your nose like? You know how Like?

Okay, if I was to jump out of a space ship, I'd be like and grab my breath, which I would explode, Whereas if I jumped out and exhaled as I jump out, then you won't explode.

Okay, let's give it a go. I must say I'm not part of Nassau Kale. Everyone. You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kita. In case you missed it, Kylie Jenner has launched a new fashion brand called car. You might be thinking, why is this interesting, because this is off the back of a failed brand, Kylie Swim. She launched a collection that looked great on her, but by the time it arrived with everybody else, it was poorly made. People said it was comparable to she and it was see through. There was no kind of support, and it was overpriced, and so she just kind of quietly shut that one down and kept it pushing. Since then, She's also been really quiet around Kylie Skin and Kylie Baby, her other brand. Maybe it was just more of a skim toy we were having. We just didn't notice. Also, the Kylie makeup hasn't been popping, and so people are kind of like, why in yeah, why are you pushing this clothing thing? Why are you pushing products if it clearly does not work anyway. So it's a twelve piece collection. It's predominantly faux leather garments. People are saying it's vegan leather. People are saying it's father. I was under the impression that vegan leather was made with plant based materials like pineapple leather, that type of thing, not just plastic leather. But maybe it is vegan because it's plastic.

Yeah, I love that.

I don't know, plastic doesn't have feelings. She said that the collection is inspired from her own wardrobe. The prices are between eighty eight to three point sixty five. Look, it's fine. It's a cute little thing, and it's in collaboration with a really cool Street where brand called Namelia. Here's the thing, though Kylie launched this. Kylie launched this brand, and the very next day she was seen at the Wall Street Journal magazine Innovator Awards winning a Brand Innovator Award for kai Oho.

Hmm.

I know they say these things are pay to play, but I didn't realize it'd be that blatant, like you could just really just get up there and win awards for stuff. But maybe and then I'm thinking this brand innovation. If you look at the brand she collabed with Namelia, it's definitely just their clothing. There's really no Kylie blueprint on there at all, So really they won the award. I would say. The real mastermind, though, is Emma Greed. She is the woman that is. I'm pretty sure she's either the business development manager or the general manager or the co founder of so many of the Kardashian brands, Good American with Chloe Kardashian, Skim's Skin, the Kim Kardashian skincare brand. She is the real mastermind and totally understands the way that you can leverage celebrity to sell products. The celebrities themselves, give or take, they're not really eating. But her em Agreed genius.

I just I'm so obsessed. So her name, last name is Greed, but it's not spelt like Grred. Yeah, but it's pronounced that way. It's like, I can't believe we're in twenty twenty three. We're living in a universe. I'm having realizations who.

Is paying for Tinder? First of all, who is using Tinder? I'm on a good authority of my friends and acquaintances. Who are I would say prolific datas they're back on Tinder. We're very surprised by this information because from my understanding, Tinder is not just the original hookup app, but the quality and the caliber of people some would say was not up to scratch. People really do prefer Hinge because it feels like creatives and quote unquote cool people.

Is it?

Who knows? Tinder has forever had a really terrible reputation. So when they announced that they were launching a four hundred and ninety nine dollars per month program per month USD, Sorry, I said eighty before it's USD listen to this. According to the Match Group's latest earning call, Tinder has learned that younger generations prefer lower priced and shorter duration products, so they've begun testing a low cost weekly subscription. As far as Tinder select the apps, four hundred and ninety nine dollar per month program goes, the membership count remains at a very low level, though execs are optimistic about the financial potential of the product, expecting tens of millions of dollars in revenue next year from this membership. To reach ten million dollars, one thousand, six hundred and seventy users would have to subscribe for a year. Okay, yeah, wow, that doesn't sound like a lot. When Tinder has like a bajillion users, I guess they're onto something they might be.

I feel like, if you're a professional, you've gone through every little role like a professional person, you know. Okay, if you're a professor, a young professional, and you know you've got a busy work schedule, this could be an appealing.

Thing to try. Do you know what?

You what?

Tinder Select four hundred and ninety nine bucks USD a month gets you nah direct? Okay, it says on the website. With Tinder Select, you get access to these unique perks direct message up to two times a week. You can send someone a message without having to match first. Oh I hate that. Skip the line. People you like will see your profile unblurred in the likes you section, even if they don't have a gold or platinum Tinder subscription.

No, because then everyone can tell I'm spending five round of dolls.

Yeah, that's true. Okay, there's special status. Show off your membership with an exclusive select badge. No, okay. VIP Experience membership spots are limited to less than one percent of users to ensure you receive the most exclusive experience and early access. Be among the first to test new features in advance. This is sickening. It's crazy. This is sickening. You're paying to be like a test Yeah.

And also I don't want Okay, if I was this person, I don't want to be seen shown first because you need to let them sift through. When you first start sifting, like first start swiping the first ten people, you think it's just the first of many amazing matches. You get to your fiftiear swipe, and really, I feel like you're a little less picky. So do you know, I reckon say that, You'll be say that like you'll be put between. These are some free ideas you're just given away, babe.
