Speaker 5 (05:27):
Never mind, everybody.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
It's time for Chelsea and the mast.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Room on the cdegroom floor today. What have we got?

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Have you ever been to Denmark?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, I would love to go to Denmark, the.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
World's most beautiful women and men seem to live in Denmark.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah that's what. Well, I don't want to go there
just for that. I want to go and check.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Out this is Mary, good friend of yours.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
And I would like to eat some Hagen Das ice cream,
and I would like.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
To see some Danish pastries.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
See some windmills.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Tell you what you can do. Denmark apparently has the libraries. Well,
we've all got libraries, but guess what you can borrow? Well, people, people, people,
I don't have.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Sidney Swingez on the list.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Let's read through and see if she'd be available for
you to take out for overnight consumption.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Don't tell me how it ends.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
I don't need it for overnight.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Denmark has an unusual and powerful initiative known as the
Human Library, a program where visitors can borrow a person
instead of a book. You get a little stamp on them.
Maybe yep. Found it in Copenhagen. It invites individuals from
misunderstood or marginalized groups to volunteer as human books, offering
their life stories for open conversation. So you could say

(06:46):
you could take home a homeless person and say what's
life like for you?

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Well, yeah, I'm pretty much aware of what homeless people
go through largely.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
But let's talk.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Say you wanted to take home a left handed person
and say, what's like work?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
And you're strung.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
You've never bothered to understand when I have to use scissors.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
I know exactly what it's like because I watch you
cutting stuff. But you mentioned the aforementioned Sidney Sweet, so
she is much maligned.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
She has been a controversial character.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
How would you ask her?

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Say you, let's set it up.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Let's role play.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
You're at the library and someone's going.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
And you say, if you've got Sydney's swinging shays, I'll
see if she's been brought back in.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
She's in the night deposits.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, let's see to make sure someone returned her. They
were supposed to return her. Yes, yes, in fact, she
has been return But let's just check what before you're
allowed to take Before you're allowed to take her home,
I'm sure the librarian would say, what sort of things
would you like to ask?

Speaker 4 (07:52):
There's a lot of questions i'd ask, you know, just
about it, Please help us.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
What are they be a controversial character?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
What questions that do you be a controversial character?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's it like to be a controversial character.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
What else?

Speaker 5 (08:05):
How else would you feel the time.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
You always wanted to be an actor and you actually
campaigned to be an actor with your own mother. You said,
I want to be an actor. I don't want to
do anything else. I want to be an actor. And
your mother supported you through that journey.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
What a conversation you haven't And what else?

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Also, which jetski does she prefer? Are you a Yamaha
girl or do you like the sea?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Do the sea do? For?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Mine has big a horse power, but Yamaha really, they've
they've stepped up their horsepower game.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
You know what's interesting, Brandon.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
You have convinced me that you actually are doing this
for all the right motives. Yes, and so I can
take her now.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
You can have her for a week.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay, Okay, I can have her for a week, but
you have to return her and just leave it in
the overnight book?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is it? Okay? If I take the dust jacket.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Off, don't break his spine.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
It's Johns and the men. That's cutting floor. It's Johns
and the men. That's cutting floor is Jils and a
man's cutting.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Floor on the cutting room floor.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Today, Amanda, Today is the tenth of December, which means
tomorrow is the eleventh of December.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
You have worked out the.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Mayan calendar.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
It was the Gregorian Cando and the mynd calendars.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
The Mind calendar said that we're all going.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
To car get in twenty fifteen. In your face, mind,
we didn't been Morgan around for ten years.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, I just want to give people are heads up
as to what might happen. Tomorrow. December eleven, according to
the stats of Facebook, is the date known as breakup day.
You are most likely, out of all the days in
the year, to get dumped or to do the dumping tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Why's that, Well, I'll explain why.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Data suggests it's the most common day for couples to split,
driven by holiday pressure, timing, and gifts. And I'll go
through what all of these mean. End of year reflection
and avoiding Christmas Day. So holiday press the festive season
amplifies stress, often financial stress, leading couples to break up.

(10:16):
Timing and gifts. This is interesting. It's just before Christmas,
so but breaking up now gives you enough time to
avoid buying gifts or avoid introducing someone to the family,
but close enough that you're starting to feel the urgency
of needing to do it before Christmas.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
This falls just in that slot a year end reflection.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
People look back at the year and think, hang on
a second, this relationship does not align with my future goals.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
So this is Christmas? What have you done?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And avoiding Christmas Day? Breaking up on Christmas Day is
seen as too cruel. Yes, so people aim for an earlier,
less disruptive end.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, you can't break up with someone on Christmas Day.
You can't break up with someone on their birthday.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I've been dumped on my birthday on your birthday my
former boyfriend, And every year I text him on his
birthday and say, remember.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
How you dropped No, no, he dropped you on his birthday.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh yeah, that's Is that all right?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
I think that's better than imagine it's your birthday. When
you have a birthday, you want it to be the
best day in the world.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know, to cry on your birthday, you.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Don't be upset in any way.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
You've made me cry twice on my birthdays on two
separate birthdays.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know what's this going to cost me? Years ago?
And I've apologized profusely.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Why do you bring it up?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I'm sorry? And I can't remember what actually did.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Nonother can make you cry. I can remember.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
We've been drinking a lot. We were younger, and I'm
sorry because no one. Everyone deserves to be happy on their.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Birthday, don't they? Just thanks for bringing it up.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
If you've got a misery guts in your life and
you want to be happy, then maybe that's the time
to drop them on your birthday.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Speaking of relationships, did you believe in the relationship between
Pamara Anderson and Liam Neeson?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I wanted to.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well, people are saying, was it a publicity stunt? Pamara
Anderson has said no, but we're not together now, so
this information has just been released. Yeah, she is saying
that there was speculation, he says. Is she saying, if
you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for
a short while, but only after we finished filming. Yeah right.

(12:21):
She said they'd spent an intimate week at his home
in New York. She said, we were having fun. It
was lovely. She said, We'll always be in each other's lives.
She said he was talking about her as being a
future missus Nisan. But they are no longer together.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
He's been married a few times, she has. I think
only what, No, his wife passed away.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's a skiing accident. But I thought there was another lady.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't think so, not saying a litany of ladies. No, well,
he was a ladies man before he married Natasha Richardson.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Pamela Anderson, she's had a cavalcade. Yeah, you know, I think.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
But she's a new she's a new, improved human being.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's but she's got a raft of
health issues as well.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
Well.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Anyway, the point is, were they a publicity stunt? She
of course is saying no. But that gave great publicity
to that film. I watched that film the other day
and I wanted to love it the first five minutes
to laugh my head off.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
The rest of it horrific.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
So that publicity, that film needed that love publicity.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I didn't mind taking it was all right.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
They weren't taken, taken roughly.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I've got a certain set of skills.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
So let's just say watch out today, I watch out tomorrow.
You might be.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Dropped today, you're okay. And if you're a miyan, thanks
for nothing.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
We're still here.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
Yeah yeah, and a man that's got room for.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah yeah yeah. On the cutting room floor today.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
He's something I read yesterday and I run it past you.
Apparently there's a hilarious reason why Steven Spielberg has never
made a movie with Ben Affleck. Why do you think
that they may never have worked together?

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Maybe he saw Batman versus Superman, which I liked.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
By the way, who was in that apart from Ben Affleck,
who was.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
He's Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Who was Henry Superman.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Ben Affleck was Batman, And I thought it was really good.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
How old were you?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
There's recent, but you know.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
I was an adult because I took my son, my
oldest son, and he liked it too, and we both.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Enjoyed our defensive use.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
And then the critics came out and slagged Ben atflick
and I was outraged.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well, it's nothing to it, nothing to do with Ben's work.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Here's the quote. One time, this is according to Steven Spielberg,
one time at band camp. This is how he speaks.
One time he was going out with my goddaughter, Gwyneth. So,
Gwyneth Pulchrow is Steven Spielberg's goddaughter, of course with me.
So one time he was going out with my goddaughter
Gwyneth and we all went on a trip to Spain.

(14:53):
It's casual and my son was a little boy playing
in the pool and he got out of the pool
and Ben came in fully dressed, and my son pushed
Ben into the pool, and Ben got really mad at him.
He came out of the pool, picked him up, threw
him back in the pool and made my son cry.
And that's why Steven Spielberg has chosen to never which

(15:15):
side do you think the fair enough?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Is fair enough for Ben Affleck? What a little ship?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Who the kid?

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:21):
So Ben Affleck comes out fully clothed, and he's a kid.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Dick of a kid pushes him in the pool. That's
that's disrespectful, that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
But would you pick up the kid and bring him
in the pool, even if you knew it meant you'd
never work with the best director of the world has
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, well it depends, but you know that you've got
to mark your turn.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
But if you're a guest in someone's house, so there
it's some villa in Spain, which.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
On Steve's Steve's dime.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Presumably, Hey, my goddaughter's here and her boyfriend.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
I hear an actor. Oh, I'm going to chuck your kid.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
In the pool.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, I think that's I just find.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
I get the kids that are naughty.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I think that's not your place, it's not your that
that's sense of entitlement. Have been cranky, no athletic at all.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I think Steven Spielberg's a soft cock parent. And then
what he should have done is said, hey, you don't
do that. You respect your elders.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Maybe the whole problem. Maybe he didn't get a chance
to say it. Maybe it all happened so quickly. Maybe
Steve wasn't there. Who knows what went on.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I remember when I was a kid, one of my
dad's mates yelling at me because I mistreated a diving
mask that he had.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
We were swimming ind what does that mean?

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Going to him? So I had like a diving mask.
He was in the skin.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Diving, right, and we're in his pool. He's backyard skin
diving diving.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Weird expression skin diving scuba diving.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Skin diving is like snorkiling before snorkling.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
I haven't heard the word skin diving sounds skin was
like poor skin diving is not That was the seventies.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Anyway, they go spearfishing and all that jump.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
So he had a range of very good diving masks
and we're all swimming in the pool.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Anyway, I'm using the diving mask.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
I come out of the pool and just sort of
throw it to the side of the pool and then
dive in the water again. And then I come to
the surface. He grabs me and gives me a crow
pick on the head. And so watch how you treat
that diving mask. That's a one hundred and fifty dollars
diving mask, which is a fair bit of money back then.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
And I was in front of my dad, and my
dad just accepted.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
It, and do you think that was fair?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
And that brought.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Teas to my highes because it hurt and it was
humiliating in front of everyone.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Everyone just sat there.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
And watched and see who side are you on now
for that?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, I'm on I'm I did the wrong thing. I
never did that again.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
I never mestrated his stuff when I went around to
someone else's house. I do understand that Ben Affleck's at
Steven Spielberg's rented villa. But having said that, Steven Spielberg
is sided with the wrong person. And you know what,
Ben Affleck could have been graded any of Spielberg's movies.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
But will never know.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's what Ben Affleck threw away by impulsive. He could
have been picking up his kid and chucking him in
the pool.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
He could have been in the Gooty three.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
He could have been Raiders of the Last Dark number
one hundred and fifty eight million instead.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Could have been but don't be the crystal skull.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Separate to that, I get an impression that this is
a cranky, very thin skin.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Don't mess with me, guy Spielberg.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Ben Affleck, he's as cranky as he's surly not tolerate fools.
Hey kid, I'll chuck in the pool. Maybe there was
a sense of that that Spielberg has reacted to.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
We don't know the nuances.

are going to the drive hours next year from three
to six pm nationally. Yeah, but it was a big
day for It's not the end of us, but it's
an end of an era. And so we had our
families here today, so we thought, why don't we for
the cutting and floor have a chat with them.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Well, our children have been a big part of this journey.
And you've got your sons in here.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I've got Liam and Jack.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, well I know their names.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, well you're looking a bit complexed.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
No, no, because sometimes I actually Jack and Limb. I
like the dynamic it's like. And that's no slight to you.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Liam.

Speaker 8 (19:30):
Normally you go the most important person first time, so
it would be it.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Should be the Amanda and Jonesy show then.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
And from your side of the fence, we have your
son Morgan, your daughter Romany. Yes, yes, yes, your youngest
son Dom had to go to work.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
He had to go to work because he only works
one day a week, and he said I could take
it off and I said no, no, no, mate, just please.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Go to work.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Dreams are built one day to go to work.

Speaker 8 (19:52):
What kind of place is he working at?

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Taking it off.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
One of those establishments you have visited a Friday that
you know and your mom.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Waves you see.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Dom Ons day. And also we've got the beautiful Zoe
Morgan's wife, and you've got your grandson.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Look at him, he's just sitting here.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
He's the cue to this little button. The nicest natured thing.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Someone's filled their nappy jack.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
For twenty years for Breakfast Radio.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
You guys have pretty much grown up with us doing
these hours.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
And is it How do you feel?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I mean, did you miss out on anything because we
weren't there?

Speaker 8 (20:26):
No, I don't think so. I think it's going to
be strange having you there in the mornings. I mean
our 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 (20:36):
Is will you be.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Able to Mum, I'm working, leave me alone one day
a week. 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.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Week either, Yeah, has your mum ever said something to
eve you guys on the radio.

Speaker 9 (20:58):
Ask about Oh 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 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 (21:18):
Excuse me, Jack, It was about six or seven sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Six seven now where?

Speaker 8 (21:28):
But you know?

Speaker 9 (21:29):
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, and.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
You went the blood on the blob. You know what
I got? So I got the blob.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
This was this was eight weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Jack transition everyone. Yeah, but how did you feel about that?
Did you feel not?

Speaker 1 (21:59):
As?

Speaker 7 (21:59):
Not as good as I do now?

Speaker 4 (22:01):
I remember with my kids, Romany always didn't like me
talking about anything about her life. And one time we
baground about trombone playing and wasn't that bad?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
But also you didn't play the actual trombone playing you
played someone playing it terribly and pretended it was Roman.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
And I said, that's my daughter.

Speaker 10 (22:18):
I was thinking about this the other day because I
still believe that it was actually me playing and wasting
there with my.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Little book, practicing and just hearing it, just crying.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
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, and I'll be talking on

(22:51):
the radio.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Morges.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
You particularly, you went through a lot of it from
various different radio stations right through that.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
We played to your little baby boys.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
On every birthday we play it.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Have you got it there?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm going to more.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Watching your face type is frightening every.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Year I get this.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
This just makes me happy, mummy Hans Cup, Oh, it's adorable.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
How do your friends and coworkers feel when well, my
wife luckily plays it for me as well, probably every
fortnight yes, just to remind me just how I sounded.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Obviously, the cuteness has kind of left my voice.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
And there's more facial hair now.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, there's a little bit more facial hair since I
was about four years old.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, the kid was growing a better beerd than me.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
I remember fourteen, this giant beard a bee jealous. It
raised some eyebrows at school, I must say, yeah, yeah,
it was always.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
A bit of a yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
But we'd pay you off for all the times we
exploded your lives. We're bringing you back maybe a cap
with ye finding nemot.

Speaker 8 (24:00):
What kind of transformers backpack? When I think that was
the tighlight?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Was that the best? Was that the best free merchant?

Speaker 8 (24:05):
I think so? It was like Christmas.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
I We would always ask you when you.

Speaker 9 (24:09):
Did you get anything from work today?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yes, you'd call.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
I remember Morgan one time saying I'm not Movie World again.
You bought my loyalties when you first came to WSFM,
back when it was WFM by bringing home an original
xbox I think.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Oh wow, that was about eleven, eleven years old score.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
And that, and then you know what happened.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Morgan said to me, He said, can I get an
Xbox and I said, no, mate, you're not getting an Xbox.
And he ges, but everyone's going to get an Xbox,
and went, no, you're not getting it.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
It was the biggest thing.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
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 gott to pull the pin on all of this,
so you have to go into a make good broadcast
from their headquarters.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
And I was one that ended up doing it.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Denton says it, but I'm the one that goes to
the headquarters, so I get as I'm they're the guy
says do you have an Xbox at home?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
And I went no, rue'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. I guess,
well you need this.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
As I was in their headquarters for four hours, I
got about fifteen games brand new Xbox.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
And then this is after I've said to Morgan, you're
not getting an.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Xbox like the year I said to Jack, you can't
get and your soul for Christian, is.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
It too late for you to bag out Rolex?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
So we got it was a Lamborghini's not the doing
a lot lately, but it is.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
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 mum and with
the school.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
I mean, this is where I'm so grateful to Harley
for stepping up and taking on that role. As a
family unit. We work together to make sure that there
was always someone the school could call, always someone ready
to go. Her name I think was older.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
I'm joking, we we should make you start making us
some school lunches.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, make it so.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
I do it now now that you're twenty and twenty four.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
He used to make the greatest sandwiches, and I remember
him picking the mold out.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
Of the.

Speaker 8 (26:17):
One slice of ham and half a tub of butter,
and he called it flavor patches.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
That was a mold on the bread.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
I remember one time he said I was getting a
little chubby, and then I noticed a lot less butter.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
On the same because Helen, my wife, Morgan, and dom
Rome's mom, she would keep the home fires burning, but
I'd find if I rang home in the morning, he'd say,
Mom's still asleep, and you'd hear this strangle.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
I'm a worry.

Speaker 8 (26:46):
Nine o'clock.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
It was gold.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
We used to just watch cartoons. We had our own
little time to ourselves.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
We'd be like, oh no, we've got to get going.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
It's like she said, you were doing homework and project
Oh yeah, and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
But you know, it's it's a great journey.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
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 he's work but.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Is 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 (27:23):
That's good.

Speaker 9 (27:24):
No, you've been a very very good mum. And that's
what your number one job has been somehow amongst.

Speaker 8 (27:30):
All of this. Oh yeah, we're so proud of you
for everything.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
What's the weirdest thing your mom's ever done? As far
as because like, does she ever done something that you've
just got? My mom would do that?

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Didn't she sign a birthday card that said thanks for listening?

Speaker 8 (27:51):
Mom did try and sneak into my luggage for a
school trip a signed photo her because she realized someone
might see it, and.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
I said thanks for listening?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Was a photo of me in this really weird I
thought it would be funny, and then I had an
anxiety attack and had to go through his day and
try and find it.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
What about you kids? With me? What have I done?
I wouldn't have done anything. What have you done? I know?

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Romany gets worried about the Rufous cat incident.

Speaker 10 (28:20):
Ah, that is probably the most that's probably the top
two things you've done.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Probably the only time in my life I've gone is
he losing his mind?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
What happened?

Speaker 8 (28:29):
There was a bit of concern.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
So Rufus the family cat passed away, and you didn't
do it?

Speaker 2 (28:36):
No, No, I've been missing for some time. It would
have been better if he actually.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
And one day my neighbor said, I think we've found
your cat.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
And I went into the garden and their garden, and
I knew it was Rufus because he had his.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Tail lopped off from a previous injury, so I knew
it was Rufous. 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,
so it had a good life.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
And we were just talking about life events.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Goes, if I ever get cancer or anything, just come
in and conk 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. And so I'm holding Rufus's corpse
or bones thereof in my hands in the little and

(29:26):
I said, see Rufus, be like Rufus, live a rich life.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
And he goes, you're right, and we.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
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 inside.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
An Amazon box.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Romany Romany is making a toasted sandwich and I came in.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm not quite figured, I said.

Speaker 10 (29:47):
Well, the problem was I wasn't a part of that
context for amble 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. It's Ruthus, just scary at me

(30:08):
for birthday.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Zero context, just zero context. It's his head.

Speaker 8 (30:13):
I found Rufus after three.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Months and you didn't know that the cat was dead.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
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 (30:27):
Gone seen from the film seven.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yes, yeah, it was exactly. It was just the point
to the exact point.

Speaker 10 (30:35):
So I ended up running away and going you've gone mental, like.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
You swore, you said, what you fucking nuts, that's what
you said.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Well it was very and then he had chased me
with the box around the house.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
No, but no, but nobody to vibe bag because Jim
really had this real epiphany.

Speaker 10 (30:54):
He's yelling, you weren't a part of the context. I'm
going no, it wasn't a.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
Fun part of the context. You wants me to hit
him over the head with the brick, and then.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
The day after, Hey, romany, look you fur hat.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Anyway, that's it story.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
He wanted to see his generation trauma. It doesn't help
that you brought the boxing.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
He thought he got to give from Amazon.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
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 a much much.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
And I love that our families have intermingled as it were.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
What is this Jack being on the blog?

Speaker 9 (31:38):
We're going to have to record this again, we swear
as much as I can now.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
So okay, kids, step it for today, come back tomorrow
