    The Art Of Sucking Up

    Sucking up, arse-licking, boot-kisser, it comes in many different names. But does sucking up to someone for personal gain generally make you look like a bad person? From sucking up to teachers in school, to people in the professional world, it's naturally been the unconscious way people behave towards others that have something beneficial to offer. However, it can equally backfire, causing certain consequences... In today's episode, the slackers share their ambitious experiences sucking up to people in hopes to gain something from them, from clout and social gain, to emotional crushes and more. Being a part of a minority, Thomas talks about how he sucked up to someone just to fit in, and experience the feeling of being with the “popular guys”. Meanwhile, Ron believes that the act of sucking up to another is normally done unconsciously, with people doing their best to settle a positive image of themselves at school, which gets carried forward in the professional world. But simping on the other hand? That's a completely different story that he himself shares an experience on, going as far as having Thomas as a wingman to assist him on his puppy love quests. On the other hand, being the introvert that Earl is, he shares his controversial mindset that every extrovert that socializes generally sucks up to people and how being friendly around people is just an act for personal gain and opportunities. Some might say sucking up to someone is natural, while some may say otherwise. So stop WHATEVER it is you're doing, and have a listen to this episode to see if we manage to change your perspective on the idea of sucking up. Who knows, you too may be doing it unconsciously.

    With youths these days being glued to their phones, it's ironic how seenzoning and virtually ignoring others have naturally been a habit for some... but why is that? We've all dealt with people who've ignored us either by seenzoning or leaving us in their inbox, and never getting back to us; and maybe, we've done it too - but it's okay we forgive you. So in today's episode, the slackers dive into their experiences of getting seenzoned or inboxed by those they've messaged. Being the loving and caring person that Earl is, his experience dates back to his university days where an incident took place, leaving him miserable as no one seemed to be available during a vulnerable time, exposing the fakes from the true friends. Meanwhile, being on both sides of the spectrum, Thomas shares his experience on being the vengeful seenzoner he became caused by others seenzoning him, who he later chose to distance himself from. Finally, Ron analyses and expresses the reason why some people may seenzone or leave others unread on their inbox, further considering their busy lifestyle and other possible factors outside their mobile phones.

In today's INTENSE episode, the slackers openly discuss their opinions on whether grades directly determines success and helps you achieve your goals. From Earl's experiences from high school to university, he personally expresses his past challenges with not letting grades mentally affect him or those around him, believing that grades DO NOT and SHOULD NOT define a person and their future. Additionally, Thomas believes that it's not about how others see you, but how you see and think of yourself. Lastly, Ron agrees with the belief that grades do not determine the future of a person; however, he argues that education is still important as the life lessons you learn within and outside the class are important to the real world, referring to the success and failures you experience within school. Several students are pressured with the expectations of high grades, and failing to do so or falling short, have resulted in mental and emotional distraught. Hence, the slackers are here to keep you company and remind you that there are always people around you willing to support and help you out - including us.

    Do your fears hinder you from living your BEST life? Does it hold you back from certain activities? Because it definitely did so with the Slack Life boys, hence the 3 slackers discuss ways where they have overcame their fears and how some fears have kept them from living their best life. With Earl's fear in heights and falling, it has kept him away from his love for traveling due to the thought that someday, somehow, his fears might turn into reality. This fear followed him to theme parks where rollercoasters were his biggest enemy... until one day, his friends decided to go for one, and poor Earl had no other option but to join them and face his fear of rollercoasters, where he ultimately ended up enjoying, overcoming his fear. From being terrified of rollercoasters, to loving the thrill and adrenaline of it, it's been a long journey for Earl, unfortunately for Thomas, it hasn't been as easy for him to get rid of his fear of heights. Similar to Earl's rollercoaster story, what seemed to be a fun experience turned out to be the opposite for Thomas; filled with peeing, crying, screaming, expressing how scared he was. And while Earl and Thomas' fears were quite identical, Ron's fears were much more childish, reminiscing on the time when he used to be scared of the dark. His fear caused him unpleasant experiences when he had to venture to the toilet in the middle of the night, always assuming the worst would be lurking in each corner of the dark. This followed him to the bathroom when he would constantly fear the idea that someone is always hiding behind the shower curtain, all thanks to horror movies. Lastly, the 3 slackers share a common fear of cockroaches, which turns out quite descriptive to be written here, so you wouldn't want to miss out on this episode as they share their experiences on their greatest fears in life to help you realize you're not alone... and possibly make you realize that you are much stronger than them when it comes to facing your fears.Follow us on Instagram: @slacklifepodcast Time stamps:(1:14) - Finding the cheapest flights(3:41) - Fear of Falling(5:06) - Fear of Rollercoasters (7:23) - Overcoming the fear of rollercoasters(9:23) - The Calm before the Storm of a Rollercoaster Ride(11:43) - Fear of the Dark(12:33) - The Effect of Horror Movies(14:15) - Fear of Cockroaches (15:05) - The CRUNCH of Cockroaches(15:34) - Episode sign-off

    When you look at the mirror, do you accept and like what you see? How important is self love? In this episode, the slackers discuss their personal process of self love and the difficulties they faced throughout the process. Due to ongoing difficulties with his 'identity problem', Thomas talks about his struggles on gaining self confidence that further hinders him from self-love. Ron's journey is rather a rollercoaster of an experience; from someone who was fit and active consistently receiving positive physical comments, to - years later - a person who is quite the exact physical opposite, on the receiving end of rather negative physical comments. Meanwhile, through all the experiences Earl encountered during his high school and university days, it's been clear to him that through happiness comes acceptance. Against all the negativity he has ever faced, staying happy has always been his true weapon that has helped him get through to where he is now. This episode will shed some light onto what it takes to love yourself and hopefully help you realize that you're not alone in this journey. So if you're facing the same struggles with loving and accepting oneself, the slackers are always free to reach out to and we will make sure you feel loved and are as happy as we are when we have our face stuffed with food.
