This morning Me too!

What time did you get up?

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Oh, an unknown number's calling me.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Oh, pick it up live.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh, I'm scared.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
Do it live.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Do it.

I already stopped calling.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Scan.

Call them back.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Look, and it doesn't even have a missed call.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh, no.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
I know who it is.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Who? It's a friend of mine.

Speaker 5 (00:40):
They obviously realised their number was still on private and
then changed it.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah. They set their number to private.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
I told them the other day. I was like, your
number's on private.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
I'll call them back.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Creepy.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
What were we talking about?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, boring shit. I struggled to get out of bed
this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I snoozed my... I slept and didn't go to the gym.
I had snoozed my.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
What time did you get up?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
20 past six.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Fuck. Wait.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
My alarm was... God, what a big sleep in. My
alarm was set for 5.15.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
You poor thing.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
Huge sleep in.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
I don't want to do this anymore. I know, but
it throws my week out. My routine's ruined.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Better than throwing your back out.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Am I right?

Speaker 6 (01:22):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well, to be honest, I'm so stressed and so overwhelmed,
I didn't go to the gym today either.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And look at us, just wallowing in self-pity.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I also didn't go to the gym either.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I read.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
What are you reading?

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yesteryear.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
I swear going to the gym makes me go backwards
in fitness.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
That doesn't make sense.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
I'm just sore all the time. All the time.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
You have to get a run on, though.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
No, I have been getting a run on.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
And then I was like, oh, sweet, I'm not as sore. No,
I just wasn't working as hard at the gym and
then I did a hard session just as sore.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Are you still on the creatine?

Speaker 5 (02:01):
No. I'm on and off.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Really good for recovery.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Yeah, that's what they say.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
How's the creatine going that I gave you?

Speaker 5 (02:08):
It's tasty and nice.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
You taking it?

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I gave Claudia creatine for her brain injury.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
And now I'm healed. I'm smarter than ever.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't mean to sound like Andrew Huberman dishing out
creatine advice. Fuck.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
This might be my worst nightmare of a podcast.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Do you work for Big Creatine?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh, yeah. I've got fingers in Big Creatine.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Hopefully not in the one you gave me.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
No.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
No, I didn't finger your creatine.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Thank God.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
He put his tongue in it instead.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
That's much worse.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Are you still sad, Ella? Ella started the day today
sad because the countdown is on.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I woke up this morning with a... Like, heart beat.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Came in. Everyone's wearing black.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Everyone's wearing black.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
So on Friday, we've got leaving drinks for Ella with
the whole station at 12 o'clock.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ella, notorious lightweight, can't handle two drinks, can't handle more
than two drinks.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Half a drink some days.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
We've got Ella's leaving drinks, and then we've got to
come and do the whole radio show.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Yeah, it's a big day.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
So what's your plan of attack?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I think I'll just go have lunch, maybe have one drink.
And it would be good vibes, right?

Speaker 4 (03:11):
So just ride that wave during the show as well.
It'll be busy. Ride that wave. And then get drunk.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
And get drunk after.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Maybe.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Have a little drinkies during the show.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
They can't fire you.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, you're leaving.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
But I guess I'll do that. I'm going to say
something nice about you guys as well. So you have
to give me time to do that. I want a slot.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
You want a what? You want a what?

Speaker 4 (03:34):
A slot in the show.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeah, you can have a.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Put me in.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
You can... Clint's worst nightmare is a circle jerk. I'm sorry,
but I might do it. It won't be a circle jerk.
It'll be a one-way jerk.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Why is it your worst nightmare, you reckon?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Because the circle is closed.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
It's you jerking you and you jerking me and you
jerking me. No one outside of this circle is getting jerked.
They're just all watching the jerk.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
And jerk Ella off.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, nice.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Yeah, but isn't it nice? Don't you think that isn't
it nice to hear– people appreciate friends or their colleagues,
like to say nice things about.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Each other or no?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, it is nice.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Don't you think the world needs more of that?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
More compliments? I know not every day.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, not every day because look at Clint. Look at Clint.
He hates it so much.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I want to say nice things to Ella.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Can you?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
And I will.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Good.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's just... Well, you don't want a recording like that.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
No, I do.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
No, I want to do it.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
No, this is me just being genuinely curious. Why do
you think it makes you so uncomfortable?

Speaker 6 (04:42):
Like I'm just being– like I'm genuinely curious.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Like what do you– where do you think that stems from?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's a good question.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
But it does make me uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
But I'm not going to make it all about me.
It's not even about me. It's Ella's leaving thing.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Aren't you guys interested?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I mean– If it's coming from a place of Clint
just being like, the listeners don't care about us all jerking.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Each other off.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You've misinterpreted
me there.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Okay, well, that's what I'm assuming.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Because people do care that you are leaving.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Wait, I was getting somewhere with him. No, no, no.
And now you're bloody taking it back somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
We won't laugh at you, Glenn. I'm genuinely curious as
to why. And it's not just you. I feel like
a lot, mainly men, but not all men, but a
lot of men feel uncomfortable in this area.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah. Don't they?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Circle jerking.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Well, the gay men don't.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, no, they're all about it. And they're more in
touch with their feelings. So I'm not out of touch
with my feelings, okay?

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah, okay. You said that. We didn't say that.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, put me in. Put me in for a whole
jerk on Friday, okay? I'm up for it.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
We can do a multi-break jerk if you want.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh, fuck no.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yeah, let's do four breaks on it. We'll do one each.
We can do the whole four o'clock hour.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now you've made it a thing.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, I don't want to do it anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
No, you have.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
No.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
No.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
No.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh, don't get it out of the show. That's great. No,
it sounds like I don't care about Ella. That's not
what it is.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
I don't think that's what it sounds like.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
No, because in the previous podcast we've done it, we
were like to compliment each other.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh, fuck those.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
No, we do that when Clint's not here.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, we love it.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
And for good reason.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
It's okay.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
But doesn't a compliment from someone who really engages in
a compliment circle jerk, doesn't it hit with a little
bit more, You know, when you get– you're like, oh,
my God, I just got a compliment from someone who
doesn't always give compliments.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
So you're trying to be mysterious.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
No.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Trying to make yourself more valuable.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Trying to create scarcity. But that's all good. What else
is going on?

Speaker 5 (06:55):
I would love to know.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
I would love to– I'm so invested in this now.
If you are like Clint, why do you think it
makes you so uncomfortable?

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Clint is like this.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
No, no, no, not why you're like this. But why
do you– what do you think it is?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't have a problem telling you guys how I
feel about you.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
No.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I just don't need to hear it.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
But I don't think it's an area that you are
comfortable in.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Is it hearing compliments or giving them out? Which is
worse for you?

Speaker 5 (07:25):
I think Clint loves getting compliments about himself. No.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
I like a superficial compliment.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
That's your favourite type of compliment. It's true.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
That's what I meant. I don't enjoy a heartfelt compliment.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Why?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's fair. If I get, jeez, you're looking good, Clint.
I like that one.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
But you don't like your inner self to be perceived.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
No.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
That's fair.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
I don't want to connect with you.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
I'm trying to think of what compliment I would rather.
All compliments. I don't mind.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, any are valid.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't think I'm good at taking a compliment, but.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Do you believe that you have to give a compliment
back when you receive a compliment?

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I think it makes it disingenuous.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
It does.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
It does.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
So I feel like if you can try and refrain from- You've.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Got to go, thanks.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Thanks.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Without sounding like an asshole who's like, I know.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, you can be like- You're right, because it's so
awkward if someone's like, man, you were looking fit at
the moment.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
You go, oh my God, thank you. So are you.
You go, no, I'm not.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Ready?

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Let me try and you- You tell me if you
could tell that I was just doing it back to you.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Ready?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
God, jeez, you're looking good at the moment, Brie. You've
been doing weights.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
I was just thinking this about you when I saw
you yesterday.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Oh, no, you did that well.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, that's really good.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Because it was fast.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
Boom.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
But you wouldn't be prepared for it.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
No, no.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
That's the thing. You wouldn't be prepared for it.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
But if you do it like that, then fine.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah. Damn, girl, those ankles are looking fire.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
I saw your ankles yesterday and I just thought.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
You guys are getting your ankles out?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
What do you mean? I'm a WMPT. I don't have
any ankles.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
I think it was in my dream then. And if
you did have them, they'd be sexy.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Claudia, do you like compliments?

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, I don't mind a compliment. I don't get many, though.
I wish someone would compliment me.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, same.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
I can't remember the last time.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
The lonely compliment fisherman alone on a lake of no compliments.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
She throws it out there.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Dangling the compliment line.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
You get the most compliments out of anyone on the
show because you set up that system.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
But if something went wrong, people.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Have to compliment you rather than tell you you've done
something wrong. I've ruined it for myself now that every
time there is a genuine compliment in there, I.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Go, oh, no, I've done something wrong. Oh, no, I've
fucked up. Yeah, yeah, you've weaponized compliments. All right, well,
three more Ella days to go, guys.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Boo. Boo. We hate you.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Have you ordered the disco ball?

Speaker 6 (09:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Disco ball, I was about to say. And then the autonomous.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Ella bot arrives we're getting a humanoid robot to replace
and it just laughs good one brie can i say
your ankles are looking fire he.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
