You guys have pretty much grown up with us doing
these hours.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
And is it How do you feel?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I mean, did you miss out on anything because we
weren't there?
Speaker 7 (01:47):
No, I don't think so. I think it's going to
be strange having you there in the mornings. I mean,
my first day at school was recorded for the radio.
It's going to be weird having you text me at
eight thirty asking to go for coffee?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Is will you be able to mum, I'm working, leave
me alone day a week.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yes, it'd be strange for you guys. Actually, I can
go out to dinner in the middle of the week.
Now that's going to be a weird thing isn't our time?
You know how we live our lives. I never go
out during the week either.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Has your mum ever said something to eve you guys
on the radio.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Ask about Yeah, I slipped jonesy at twenty so I
could bring this story up the This this one, I
think I overreact, you know, now that I'm older, I
look back on it. I feel I do feel bad
at my reaction where you spoke about, because I was
the one that did the wrong. I left a very
old sandwich in my school backpack.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Excuse me, Jack, It was about six or seven sandwiches.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
Six seven, No, but you know, And I said, can
you not talk about that on the radio. And then
as Dad and I were driving into school, you brought
it up. And then I got on the blob and was,
you know, crying.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You went, she didn't get on the blob.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
You know what I got?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So I this was this was a Jack transition everyone. Yeah,
but how did you feel about that?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Did you feel not?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
As?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Not as good as I do now.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I remember with my kids, Romany always didn't like me
talking about anything about her life. And one time we
bagged around about trombone playing and wasn't that bad.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
But also you.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Didn't play the actual trombone playing. You played someone playing
it terribly and pretended it was Roman.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And I said, that's my daughter.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
I was thinking about this the other day because I
still believe that it was actually me playing, and I
was sitting there with my little book, practicing and just
hearing it, just crying.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And we always think it's content, folks, just what pays
for your holidays. But really I learned a valuable lesson
from that day with you, Jack, when you on the blob,
when I said, because I thought I came home and
I was. I was so upset that you'd been upset,
And I said, your home should be safe to have
to do anything you want to do. But here's a
list of things you've done that I'll be talking on
(04:12):
the radio.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Morgs you particularly, you went through a lot of it
from various different radio stations right through that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, we played bits of your little baby voice on
the Big Shoes to get Every birthday.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
We play it.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Have you got it there?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Watching your face. Type is frightened.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Every year I get this. This just makes me happy.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Mummy has cut It's adorable. How do your friends and
co workers feel well?
Speaker 10 (04:45):
My wife luckily plays it for me as well, probably
every fortnight, Yes, just to remind me just how I sounded.
Obviously the cuteness has kind of left my voice.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
And there's more facial hair now.
Speaker 10 (04:58):
Yeah, there's a little bit more facial hair. And so
I was about four years old.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, the kid was growing a better beer than me.
I remember fourteen, this giant beer.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
To be jealous.
Speaker 10 (05:09):
It raised some eyebrows at school, I must say, yeah, yeah,
it was always.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
A bit of a Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We'd pay you off for all the times we exploded
your lives. I'll bringing you back, maybe a cap with
ye finding Nemo.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Written what kind of Transformers backpack? When I think that
was the highlight?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Was that the best?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Was that the best free merchant?
Speaker 6 (05:26):
I think so it was like Christmas.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
We would always ask you when you'd come home.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Did you get anything from work today?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, pigs you'd call up.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I remember Morgan one time saying I'm not Movie World again.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
You bought my loyalties when you first came to WSFM
back when it was WM by bringing home an original
Xbox and I think.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Oh wow, I was about eleven eleven years old.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
That's school and that, and then you know what happened.
Morgan said to me, he said, can I get an Xbox?
And I said, no, mate, you're not getting an Xbox?
And yes, but everyone got to get an Xbox and went, no,
you're not getting it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It was the biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And then this actually was before I started his when
we were over at Triple M and Andrew Denton and
you did a thing called the Rumor Mill, and there
was a rumor that the Xbox was running too slow.
An Xbox were in arms and the sales guys going,
Microsoft are got to pull the pin on all of this,
so you have to go and do a make good
broadcast from their headquarters, and I was one that ended
(06:24):
up doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Denton says it, but I'm the one that goes to
the headquarters.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
So I get. As I'm getting, the guy says you
have an Xbox at home, and I went, no, run's
too slow, and he said, well, you're going to have
to have an Xbox, so gives me the Xbox. He
has got any games and I went, well, no, because
I don't have an Xbox.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I guess, well you need this.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
As I was in their headquarters for four hours. I
got about fifteen games brand new Xbox.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And then this is after I've said to Morgan, you're
not getting an.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Xbox, like the year I said to Jack you can't
get and your soul for Christian.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Is it too late? Feed to bag out Rolex?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
So we got it was Lamborghini's not doing but it is.
It's a privileged position to do this four kids. But
having said that, there is a toll that you do pay,
you know, the fact that we weren't there in the morning,
you know, and the view as a mom and with
the school.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I mean, this is where I'm so grateful to Harley
for stepping up and taking on that role.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
As a family unit.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
We work together to make sure that there was always
someone the school could call, always someone ready to go.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Her name, I think was older.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
We should make you start making us some school lunches. Yeah,
make so.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I do it now now that you're twenty.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
He used to make the greatest sandwiches, and I remember
him picking the mold of the.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
One slice of ham and half a tub of butter,
and in called.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
That flavor patches. That was the mold on the bread.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I remember one time he said I was getting a
little chubby, and then I noticed a lot less butter.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
On the same.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Because Helen, my wife, Morgan and dom Rome's mom, she
would keep the home fires, Bernie, but I'd find if
I rang home in the morning, say mom's still asleep,
and you'd hear this strangles.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm a w.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
We used to just watch cartoons.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
We had our own little time to ourselves.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We'd be like, oh no, we've got to get going.
It's like she said, you were doing homework and projects.
Oh yeah, and all that stuff. But you know, it's
it's a great journey.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
And I'm glad that we got to be here after
all these years of twenty years of radio and then
where he and all you guys, our children are here
except for Dominic because he's the one day's week, which is.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Still like us despite all of what we've just confessed to.
And you're right, I couldn't go to the mother's day
things at school because in the mornings. So I'm very
grateful for the stuff that you put up with. And
thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's good.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
No, you've been a very very good mum, and that's
what your number one job has been. Somehow amongst all
of this.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Oh yeah, we're so proud of you for everything.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What's the weirdest thing your mum's ever done?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
As far as learn because like, does she ever done
something that you've just got?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
My mom would do that?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Didn't she sign a birthday card that said thanks for listening?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Mom did try and sneak into my luggage for a
school trip a signed photo of her and.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Because she realized someone might see it, and.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I said thanks for listening? Was a photo of me
in this really weird? I thought it'd be funny, and
then I had an anxiety attack and had to go
through his day and try and find it.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What about you kids? With me? What have I done?
I wouldn't have have done anything? What do I know?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Romany gets worried about the Rufus cat incident.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Ah, that is probably.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
The most that's probably the top two things you've done.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Probably the only time in my life I've gone is
he losing his mind?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
There was a bit of concern.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So Rufus the family cat passed away and you didn't
do it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, I've been missing for some time. It would have
been bad if he actually and.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
One day my neighbor said, I think we found your cat.
And I went into the garden and their garden, and
I knew it was Rufous because he had his tail
lopped off from a previous injury, so I knew it
was Rufus. Anyway, Jim, my neighbor, he was sitting there
and he was saying, I said that cat lived to
the equivalent of one hundred and twenty years of age,
(10:22):
so it had a good life.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And we were just talking about life events.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
He goes, if I ever get cancer or anything, just
come in and comp me over the head with a brick.
And I went, Jim, I don't think any because he's great.
I said, you don't need to be so dramatic about it.
In his shoe box and I said, look at Rufus.
Rufus had this rich life. He met many people that
he loved this life.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And so I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Holding Rufus's corpse or bones thereof in my hands in
the little and I said, see Rufus, be like Rufus,
liver a rich life. And he goes, you're right, and
we had a hug in the driveway, and then I
put all Rufus's bones and a little NBN box that
was left over and I went into.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
It was an Amazon box.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Romany.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Romany's making a toasted sandwich and I came in.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm not quite figured, I said.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
Well, the problem was I wasn't a part of that
context preamble hugging moment. So I'm making a smoothie before
Uni you've run in, going rome like running down with
this Amazon box. It's it's I'm thinking early and he's
opened the box.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
It's Ruthus and just staring at me.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Zero context, just zero context.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
It's his head.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
I've found rufous after three months and then.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
So you didn't know that the cat was dead.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
I knew he had gone away to die, and we
were all accepting of that. That was fine, you know,
he had great life and we accepted that. But it yeah,
seeing his head is.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Skull seen from the film seven.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, yeah, it was exactly. It was to the point,
to the exact point.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
So I ended up running away and going you've gone mental,
like you swore.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You said, what are you fucking? That's what you said?
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Well, it was very and then he had chased me
with the box around the.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
House and then I was trying to get no, but no,
but nobody trying to get a vibe back, because Jim
really had this real epiphany.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
An He's yelling, you weren't a part of the context.
I'm going no, it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
A part of the context. You wants me to hit
him over the head with the brick. And in the
day after, Hey, romany, look about you, fur hat?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Anyway, that's it story.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He wanted to see r generation trauma.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
It doesn't help that you brought the box he thought he.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Got to give from Amazon.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, all I can say is thank you, Thank you
all of your kids. You've been part of this journey
and you're going to be a part of our journey
for much much.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
And I love that our families have intermingled as it were.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
I think so it was like Christmas.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
We would always ask you when you'd come home.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Did you get anything from work today?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, pigs you'd call up.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I remember Morgan one time saying I'm not Movie World again.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
You bought my loyalties when you first came to WSFM
back when it was WM by bringing home an original
Xbox and I think.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Oh wow, I was about eleven eleven years old.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
That's school and that, and then you know what happened.
Morgan said to me, he said, can I get an Xbox?
And I said, no, mate, you're not getting an Xbox?
And yes, but everyone got to get an Xbox and went, no,
you're not getting it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It was the biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And then this actually was before I started his when
we were over at Triple M and Andrew Denton and
you did a thing called the Rumor Mill, and there
was a rumor that the Xbox was running too slow.
An Xbox were in arms and the sales guys going,
Microsoft are got to pull the pin on all of this,
so you have to go and do a make good
broadcast from their headquarters, and I was one that ended
(06:24):
up doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Denton says it, but I'm the one that goes to
the headquarters.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
So I get. As I'm getting, the guy says you
have an Xbox at home, and I went, no, run's
too slow, and he said, well, you're going to have
to have an Xbox, so gives me the Xbox. He
has got any games and I went, well, no, because
I don't have an Xbox.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I guess, well you need this.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
As I was in their headquarters for four hours. I
got about fifteen games brand new Xbox.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And then this is after I've said to Morgan, you're
not getting an.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Xbox, like the year I said to Jack you can't
get and your soul for Christian.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Is it too late? Feed to bag out Rolex?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
So we got it was Lamborghini's not doing but it is.
It's a privileged position to do this four kids. But
having said that, there is a toll that you do pay,
you know, the fact that we weren't there in the morning,
you know, and the view as a mom and with
the school.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I mean, this is where I'm so grateful to Harley
for stepping up and taking on that role.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
As a family unit.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
We work together to make sure that there was always
someone the school could call, always someone ready to go.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Her name, I think was older.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
We should make you start making us some school lunches. Yeah,
make so.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I do it now now that you're twenty.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
He used to make the greatest sandwiches, and I remember
him picking the mold of the.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
One slice of ham and half a tub of butter,
and in called.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
That flavor patches. That was the mold on the bread.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I remember one time he said I was getting a
little chubby, and then I noticed a lot less butter.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
On the same.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Because Helen, my wife, Morgan and dom Rome's mom, she
would keep the home fires, Bernie, but I'd find if
I rang home in the morning, say mom's still asleep,
and you'd hear this strangles.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm a w.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
We used to just watch cartoons.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
We had our own little time to ourselves.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We'd be like, oh no, we've got to get going.
It's like she said, you were doing homework and projects.
Oh yeah, and all that stuff. But you know, it's
it's a great journey.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
And I'm glad that we got to be here after
all these years of twenty years of radio and then
where he and all you guys, our children are here
except for Dominic because he's the one day's week, which is.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Still like us despite all of what we've just confessed to.
And you're right, I couldn't go to the mother's day
things at school because in the mornings. So I'm very
grateful for the stuff that you put up with. And
thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's good.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
No, you've been a very very good mum, and that's
what your number one job has been. Somehow amongst all
of this.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Oh yeah, we're so proud of you for everything.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What's the weirdest thing your mum's ever done?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
As far as learn because like, does she ever done
something that you've just got?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
My mom would do that?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Didn't she sign a birthday card that said thanks for listening?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Mom did try and sneak into my luggage for a
school trip a signed photo of her and.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Because she realized someone might see it, and.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I said thanks for listening? Was a photo of me
in this really weird? I thought it'd be funny, and
then I had an anxiety attack and had to go
through his day and try and find it.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What about you kids? With me? What have I done?
I wouldn't have have done anything? What do I know?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Romany gets worried about the Rufus cat incident.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Ah, that is probably.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
The most that's probably the top two things you've done.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Probably the only time in my life I've gone is
he losing his mind?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
There was a bit of concern.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So Rufus the family cat passed away and you didn't
do it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, I've been missing for some time. It would have
been bad if he actually and.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
One day my neighbor said, I think we found your cat.
And I went into the garden and their garden, and
I knew it was Rufous because he had his tail
lopped off from a previous injury, so I knew it
was Rufus. Anyway, Jim, my neighbor, he was sitting there
and he was saying, I said that cat lived to
the equivalent of one hundred and twenty years of age,
(10:22):
so it had a good life.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And we were just talking about life events.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
He goes, if I ever get cancer or anything, just
come in and comp me over the head with a brick.
And I went, Jim, I don't think any because he's great.
I said, you don't need to be so dramatic about it.
In his shoe box and I said, look at Rufus.
Rufus had this rich life. He met many people that
he loved this life.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And so I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Holding Rufus's corpse or bones thereof in my hands in
the little and I said, see Rufus, be like Rufus,
liver a rich life. And he goes, you're right, and
we had a hug in the driveway, and then I
put all Rufus's bones and a little NBN box that
was left over and I went into.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
It was an Amazon box.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Romany.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Romany's making a toasted sandwich and I came in.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm not quite figured, I said.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
Well, the problem was I wasn't a part of that
context preamble hugging moment. So I'm making a smoothie before
Uni you've run in, going rome like running down with
this Amazon box. It's it's I'm thinking early and he's
opened the box.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
It's Ruthus and just staring at me.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Zero context, just zero context.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
It's his head.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
I've found rufous after three months and then.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
So you didn't know that the cat was dead.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
I knew he had gone away to die, and we
were all accepting of that. That was fine, you know,
he had great life and we accepted that. But it yeah,
seeing his head is.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Skull seen from the film seven.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, yeah, it was exactly. It was to the point,
to the exact point.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
So I ended up running away and going you've gone mental,
like you swore.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You said, what are you fucking? That's what you said?
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Well, it was very and then he had chased me
with the box around the.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
House and then I was trying to get no, but no,
but nobody trying to get a vibe back, because Jim
really had this real epiphany.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
An He's yelling, you weren't a part of the context.
I'm going no, it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
A part of the context. You wants me to hit
him over the head with the brick. And in the
day after, Hey, romany, look about you, fur hat?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Anyway, that's it story.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He wanted to see r generation trauma.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
It doesn't help that you brought the box he thought he.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Got to give from Amazon.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, all I can say is thank you, Thank you
all of your kids. You've been part of this journey
and you're going to be a part of our journey
for much much.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
And I love that our families have intermingled as it were.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
What are you saying, friends? Is this jack bean on
the blog?
Speaker 8 (12:59):

much as I can now, so he can just turn
it around.
