Speaker 1 (00:10):
And Amanda jam Nason. You were down in Tasmania with Jack.
I had five days in Tazzy. Liam couldn't come because
he's got a placement in his final year at UNI,
and so I said to Jack, you justsed to want
to come, and he said, yeah, I do. And I was,
even though I was paying. I was so flattered that
he chose to hang out with me. It was so
nice because he's on union holidays and all of that

(00:30):
as well. And we went to Tazzy, we went to
Hobart and then we hired a car and drove up
to frasin A just to eat oysters pretty much, and
we had a great time. It's remember how once when
I was last year and we're going to Brisbane to
see my dad and Jack turned up at the airport
with the world like a little kindergarten backpack with Jack
Oliver six A written on it. Well, this time, yeah,

(00:53):
he had a suitcase. I said, we're checking in luggage.
We're going for five days, we'll check in luggage. But
I had bought him this lovely overcoat and I said
make sure you bring in a warm clothes bubba. When
we got there and I said, where's your coat, and
he took it out, he'd scrunched it into a ball
in the bottom of the bag, and so this beautiful
overcoat was just looked terrible. But also at every place,

(01:16):
every time I've ever gone away with Jack, we've had
to buy a toothbrush, and often it's on day three
that it's mentioned. So what does that tell you? He's
the opposite of reach out? That's right? All he carries,
is it? So day three Jack says I need to
buy a toothbrush, and I say, what's happened these last
few days? And then we changed hotels halfway through and
Jack left it behind. What is it? What absolutely is it?

(01:40):
But we did have a great time. There was a
state of Origin was on on our last night. What
a dreadful state of all it was. But you don't
know that. At the beginning we were full of optimism.
We're going to go to the pub to watch it,
and said let's have a quick dinner beforehand, and a
few people recommended a restaurant Set's our last night. We
booked in there, thinking let's just have steak and then
go to the pub. And when we walked in it

(02:01):
was a lovely restaurant, but what we heard was welcome
to our seven calls and so seven courses, and we
both started to panic because we were too polite to
say we've got to go. So, yeah, we were too polite.
So the first you know, this is a wall Tony
and Tasmania. You can get Wallaby that's licensed to Bubble
and last Thilac. And then there was a big break

(02:25):
between these other bits of a counting down saying is
that three is at four? This is the scull of
moose from northern that's and there's another bit that garnished
with a locally grown herb. And finally we said we
don't want dessert. We have to go because we're watching
the game on the phone on the table, which looked
hugely Bogan but really of all the nights of a
seven course. But we had a great time. And when

(02:46):
we did go to see the two pick Oysters, we
had this great thing where you wade out and these
big wadters to eat oysters out in the middle of
the water at an oyster farm and drink champagne. It
was lovely, but Jack's took substantially taller than I am,
so I had my phone and a little near prem pack.
It was just a sort of a chest height and
Jack said, I'm taller than you. Let me take it.
Next minute, I look over and he's trying to see

(03:08):
how cold is if he goes down to his arm bits.
You know my phone is. My phone is around your
waist if you don't mind. When you were driving the
car was this theme running mother and son. My neck
was so tense. I haven't driven with Jack, he insisted
on driving. That's for our drive. I haven't driven with
him since our learner days him to drive a bit

(03:30):
too is remember a lot of stress came roaring back.
He has two hands at the bottom of the wheel,
two hands if you're lucky, sometimes one hand at bottom
of the wheel, one pick in his eyes. And I said,
for your mother's sake, two hands on the wheel, for
your mother's sake, slow down around the corners where you
can't see what's coming. And this is coming from you,
who's a very good driver.
