Speaker 1: You're on the air, which Jason Lauren Clint is here
Speaker 1: as well, coming up your chance to win five thousand
Speaker 1: bucks and we are listening out for I haven't little
Speaker 1: in speak and.
Speaker 2: Sharon he's in Melbourne this week.
Speaker 1: When you hear it, give us a ring and tickets
Speaker 1: will be yours Thursday night. Can't wait.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, I saw this thing on Instagram over the
Speaker 2: weekend that had me in bed on Saturday morning sobbing.
Speaker 2: And when I say sobbing, I mean like tear in
Speaker 2: floods of tears. I'm talking about Eric Dane, the actor
Speaker 2: who passed away last week. Now, he he was battling
Speaker 2: with als, which is it paralyzes your body basically.
Speaker 3: A form of murder Europe, like what what.
Speaker 2: Neil Dannaher has.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: If you don't know who Eric Dane is, he was
Speaker 2: mc steemy in Gray's Anatomy. You'll never will never forget
Speaker 2: that scene where he walks out of the steamy shower.
Speaker 1: In the town. How he got the name?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was MCS see me. He was all
Speaker 2: so cal Jacobs in Euphoria. But most importantly he was
Speaker 2: a dad to two daughters and as a family, I
Speaker 2: can't even imagine watching someone you love suffer with a
Speaker 2: hideous disease where your brain stays sharp but your body just.
Speaker 3: And correct me if I'm wrong. He went downhill very quickly.
Speaker 3: I think it was a very brief battle, maybe nine
Speaker 3: or ten months.
Speaker 2: It was quick Jesus, and he's an advocate for als,
Speaker 2: and he decided to sit down and do an interview
Speaker 2: for Netflix. It goes throughout fifty minutes, and I haven't
Speaker 2: brought myself to watch the whole thing yet. I was like,
Speaker 2: I need to be in the right head space to
Speaker 2: watch this. But it's called Famous Last Words, and it's
Speaker 2: He did the interview knowing it wouldn't be released until
Speaker 2: after he'd passed away.
Speaker 1: So how soon after he passed away?
Speaker 2: Well, he passed away last week and it's out now.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So the clip that they released on Netflix was a
Speaker 2: message to his daughters about oh, it's so sad, about
Speaker 2: how to embrace life and how to live life because
Speaker 2: it's and while it's a message to his daughters, it's
Speaker 2: a poignant reminder of how fragile life is, how quickly
Speaker 2: it can be taken away from you, and how important
Speaker 2: it is to live in the present now It's a
Speaker 2: five minute clip. I've clipped up a little bit. Some
Speaker 2: of his language is hard to understand in parts, obviously
Speaker 2: because he's suffering from als. But it's so incredibly important
Speaker 2: to listen to this and just take a moment to
Speaker 2: think how precious life is.
Speaker 4: Silly and Georgia, these words are for you. I want
Speaker 4: to say four things that I've learned from this disease,
Speaker 4: and I hope you won't just listen to me. I
Speaker 4: hope you'll hear me. First, live now, right now, in
Speaker 4: the present. It's hard, but I learned to do that
Speaker 4: for years and whileing and worrying and self petty shame
Speaker 4: and down. Second, guess mas, they should have done this
Speaker 4: and never should have done that, the president and all
Speaker 4: you have treasure, cherish every moment. Second, fall in love,
Speaker 4: not necessarily with a person, although I do recommend it
Speaker 4: as well, but fall in love with something. Find your passion,
Speaker 4: your joy, your purpose, your dream. Then go for it,
Speaker 4: really go for it. Third, choose your friends wisely. Find
Speaker 4: your people and allow them to find you, and they
Speaker 4: give Yourselose to them. My friends come to me, We
Speaker 4: eat together, watch a game, listen to music, and don't
Speaker 4: do anything specialated show up. That's a big one. Just
Speaker 4: show up and love your friends everything you have. Hang
Speaker 4: on to them. They will entertain you, guide you, help you,
Speaker 4: support you, and some will save you. Finally, fight when
Speaker 4: you face challenge, health or otherwise. Fight, never give up,
Speaker 4: fighting to your last breath. This disease is notly taking
Speaker 4: my body, but it will never take my spirit. Million Georgia,
Speaker 4: you ow my everything, good night, I love you. Those
Speaker 4: are my last work.
Speaker 2: M Wow.
Speaker 3: There's actually an amazing symmetry between Eric Dyane and Neil
Speaker 3: Denahos some of the things. Then he touched on the
Speaker 3: whole show up messaging. You know, always show up.
Speaker 2: Fought and choose your friends, your time and the people
Speaker 2: that will show up to you.
Speaker 1: A lot of simplicity. I don't have to be going out,
Speaker 1: have a laugh, listen to music.
Speaker 2: Yeap, and fall in love and if it's not with
Speaker 2: a person, which he high recommends you do do but
Speaker 2: if it's not that, fall in love with just something, something,
Speaker 2: something that makes you happy and living life right now,
Speaker 2: which I think is so important because we get so
Speaker 2: caught up in in things that have happened in the
Speaker 2: past and what might happen in the future, and sometimes
Speaker 2: we do forget to live in this very moment that
Speaker 2: we're living in, and he's a walking example of how
Speaker 2: quickly that can be taken away.
Speaker 1: I remember just thinking it's a cliche, but you're at
Speaker 1: the end of the year of I's like, you know,
Speaker 1: how am I going to approach to you differently? And
Speaker 1: I was like, live, not exist? Do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? So easily we can get our routines totally.
Speaker 3: Those beautiful girls of him have lost, have lost clearly
Speaker 3: something special, but they will always have those incredible, haunting
Speaker 3: words to live by.
Speaker 2: Also so brave, I think, in that moment when you
Speaker 2: know your life is being taken away rapidly, to actually
Speaker 2: sit down and do something which is going to help
Speaker 2: other people. What a man mixed me.
Speaker 1: And nice of the family to share that, do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because that'd be tough.
Speaker 2: It's a fifty minute Netflix interview and I just think
Speaker 2: I need to be in the right space to watch it.
Speaker 2: But I actually can't wait to sit down. I think
Speaker 2: it'll give everybody a different perspective on life.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you put that up. It's just a good
Speaker 1: little reminder.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sorry, I know that was heavy, but I
Speaker 2: highly recommend if you watch the whole thing, that you
Speaker 2: go and watch that five minute clip. We'll put it
Speaker 2: on our socials as well, but just stop for a
Speaker 2: moment and appreciate what we do have. Wake up feeling
Speaker 2: good following them on the socials.
