Speaker 1 (00:00):
The z M podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I've got to put a note on that one that says,
do not play. I'm never ready for that one. It's
too intense, and I always think about people in the
car and like I might ever listen to my friends
Brian Clinton, see what they're up to. And then yo
oh oi yai. I wanted to talk about something because
this is the third to last day that we'll have
Ellie with us. Yes, yeah, on the Brian Clint Show again.
(00:32):
You're leaving us again.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yes, I'm qut traumatic like them reliving the trauma that
was twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know if you're new to this podcast of
your recent Eli is og. She has been with this
show since day one, and you did the first two
years and then you fucked off.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I did, I sure bloody didn't right off.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, but you are highly qualified and you are here
covering Claudia who is on her month long Yeah, and
now you're going to oh.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I am it's sad you're going to miss us.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Who're going to miss some Yeah, we've bonded, We have bonded.
You know, it's weird. It actually feels really sad.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Again to dodging the question.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, that wasn't asking seriously.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But the bit, the bit that I was going to
talk about is naturally, when someone comes back that you
love and that you mess there's a lot of nostalgia
and there's a lot of reflecting and looking back. I
know you and Brie have done a lot of that. Yeah,
old memories we have.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I know that nostalgia is a very powerful feeling, very powerful,
and I'm super powerful emotion.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I read a quote about nostalgia last week which is
so interesting trying to explain what it is because nostalgia,
nostalgia is positive, whereas you can look back at things
from the past and like not enjoy them, like nostalgia,
that's not nostalgia. Nostalgia is pining for what used to be.
It's a it's a lust for the past. And I
(02:00):
and people like, why what is it? Why is it
so powerful? And somebody said in this quote that I
read that nostalgia is just memories with the anxiety of
the moment that was there removed.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh yeah, true, So whatever was.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Going on in that situation. There's a certain level of
anxiety about everything, about about every single moment in your life. Yeah,
but nostalgia removes that and just remembers the situation as
it was. Yeah, that's nice. Which makes me think that
if you could remove the anxiety from every situation, the
present moment, that you would be able to enjoy every
(02:36):
moment of your life the way that you enjoy nostalgic memories.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I actually can't even remember a time that I haven't
been anxious.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, Like, I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Our time where I have not felt anxious. Yeah maybe before,
like maybe when I was like six or seven.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, maybe, Like I think it's just always just I
am an anxious person and there's good reason for that.
But yeah, oh god, I don't know what i'd do
with myself. I feel like I have so much free
brain space.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Do you feel like that, Yeah, definitely, yeah, my cors, I.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Just don't know what i'd do with it neither.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's funny because that's the lens through which you experience
the present, and if it's being if it's being like
sullied by anxiety, then you're not actually enjoying things totally,
you know.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
And you know, one of the biggest like when I
was watching the Michael Jordan documentary for the sixth time
the last dance. I just love it so much. And
the biggest thing that I got from that docco that
just blew my mind because I remember the first time
I watched it was this guy talking about why Michael
(03:54):
Jordan was the player he was and why he was
one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And this guy was.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Like, it's not because of his Like he was very talented,
and he had work ethic and he had all that.
Don't get me wrong, but so many other players have
that as well. It was his ability to be completely
in the moment. He wouldn't think about what would happen
if he missed that shot. He wouldn't think about a
(04:23):
shot he just missed. He would be present. Oh give
me goosemut's thinking about it? How powerful? Like it would
just be him being able to be in that moment
at that time. So he was able to score those
under pressure shots and able to play in the moment.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So how do we get it?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I don't know, I really want it, get it is?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
The thing is that meditation it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You know, what's a good boxery? Which I actually got
both of you when I left.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Thinking about Yeah, it's called the power now and it
literally is this concept of it. But when I bought
you a book, I knew.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You weren't going to read it.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
And it's fine, but it actually does talk about being
able to just harness that one moment right now.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I remember Ellie saying, you guys would get a lot
out of this book. And can I just say I
still intend to read it.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I still read four years.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I never I knew that you may not read it,
and that's okay. But that's just a g I wanted
to give because it had a profound effect on me.
And if you read it, you read it, it can't told.
And he's very much into meditation and like Buddhism as
that kind of concept.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, I wish I had the attention span.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I'll try.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I will try and find it and read a chapter tonight.
That's my promise to you.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't want to appreciate it chapter.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
The chapter is not that much.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I'm a very slow reader.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Same.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I'm like a three or four pages a night person
going I keep going back and reading the same line again.
Forget the line that I've just read. I go back
and read it.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yeah, I've got trauma from reading out loud in class,
and I'd be super slow, and everyone's like, oh, could
someone else read?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But she's so fucking slow.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
There's a girl at school. There's a girl at our
school who never recovered from reading out loud the book
that we were all studying, and she had to stand
up and read it and instead of saying the word organism,
she said organism. And we were like fourteen, and we're like, organism, organism.
Oh you poor?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Do you read a lot of books, Elie?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Not? Really? This is the thing I'm similar to you guys.
I don't really read. I find it hard to focus.
But there's some books that I do attach to and
then I just read it really quickly. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I just think if I like, I could be doing
this but with pictures, you know, you know, brain absorbs
things like I love a documentary, there's nothing more like.
I love learning same, but I just I can't learn
through reading.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, fair enough, it's not just not a I'm not
I say this is not a reader as well, or won't.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I don't think I can like I actually, and I
think it's my adhd. They do say it makes it
very hard to concentrate for.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Long double drop and then hit the box Jesus Saturday Night,
Double Drop on the Double Drop trilogy. Start with the
Hobbit the Ruby.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh god, I could not think of That would be
like actual torture to me.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'd rather be waterboarded. I'm reading the.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Hobbit at the moment, are you Oh god, that's my
worst night.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Then when you guys going to waterboard me?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, we wanted to. Sorry, what did I come back to?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Would you waterboard me?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
What it was? Lying?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, yeah, I would, just to see how long it
could last?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Ella, Ella, do you know what waterboarding is?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
You shove water down someone until they die? No close,
They get a hose and they pour it down.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yet, well, waterboard you you can find.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Out, Ellen.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Ellen's not cut out for water boarding.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I don't think good.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I don't think we.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Should board anyone. Just to confirm that.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Okay, that was all just banter.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You're not in charge. You'll leave it.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yeah, we'll do it after Okay, when Claudia gets back,
hide behind a door.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Jakes, guys, all right, oh dear, all right, oh.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That too good turn.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I'm getting nostalgic for the time before we talked about that.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I'm getting nostalgic for before we started this podcast.
