That's the wooll and Gong Man's the difference.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's Friday and we've got a very special go Fundy
Friday that we'd like to share with you this morning.
It's about a young single mom with two kids that
has been given six months to live.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Oh my, oh, I can't even the thought of that.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's actually a parent's worse nightmare.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I think anyone's worst night mare.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
G that's just that's awful.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yes, I think that being a parent like we all are.
The sad thing, you know, is not actually you losing
your life and your life coming to an end.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's leaving your kids behind.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
And in this woman's case, she doesn't have a partner,
so she's going to be leaving her kids alone, which
is even worse. Look to talk about her, I'd like
to introduce you to Nikki.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Good morning, Niki, good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Tell us about your bestie Katie Cochrane. Tell us about her,
what the story is and how we can help.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
So she's gone through it at the moment, As you
guys could imagine, she was just feeling really sick, didn't
think much of it. It wasn't really going away, so
she went to the doctors and she ended up getting
the diagnosis that nobody wants to hear. So she's pretty
much just freaking out that, you know, she's not going
to be able to get a funeral paid for, so
(01:32):
her kids won't be able to say goodbye. Her kids
don't know. She doesn't want her kids to know. She
just wants to give them the time of their lives
so they can have good memories to remember her by.
She chose not to do treatment. She didn't want her
kids seeing her sick and unwell. She wanted to leave
them with good, happy memories. So it's kind of hard
(01:54):
at the moment. So it's been heartbreak and seeing to
go through this, and before the stress of trying to
get a funeral paid and Christmas and all that coming up.
But yeah, a lot. So I'm just trying to do
my part to help. I just make it that little
bit easier, get the.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Word out and what's what's the plan for the future.
Does does Katie make your plans for the care of
the kids when eleven years old.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Yeah, so she's only got a brother. She's hoping that
they can stay with him. We're not too sure how
all that's looking at the moment. So that's kind of
a big thing for her that she's freaking out, is
what's going to happen with her kids.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, it's such.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
An awful situation.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Poor, unfortunate.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
This is terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's a horrible story and definitely our hearts go out
to her and her family right now, you know, and
you're talking about funeral cost and she's trying to organize
money for that, even the fact that she's even got
to think about that, Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's horrendous.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, and then trying it. Didn't have to be doing
that all on our own, no way, no way.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So there's no other support for Katie, for.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Her group of friends. So we've pretty much just been
chipping in every bit that we can, sharing her go
fund me page, getting the word out there, just doing
anything and everything that we can. It's just a group
of us girls just helping her out as much as
we can.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well, look, I mean we're going to do our bit
to try and help as well. We have the golf
on we link we're going to put it up on
our Facebook page now, and you know we see this
every Friday.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
If you're listening right now, you might be.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Thinking, Hey, I'm going to go out for a coffee
or I'm going to go out and get lunch this
weekend or something like that. Maybe forego all that and
help out a local who's really gone through the toughest
challenge you're ever going to go through.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yes, you know this is this is the challenge nobody
wants to go through, but Katie is living it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So let's get behind Katie and her kids.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Follow the link, donate some money, and let's hope that
we can get the money that she needs so she
can actually stop thinking about having to plan her own funeral,
which is horrendous enough, but she can just spend the
time with her kids and just make memories and just
worry about, you know, spending time with them all the
time she's got left.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
That's it, It's time for a look back back on
the week that was.

Monday morning, and Damien opened up about his OCD.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I've got certain numbers. Three and seven are my numbers. Yeah,
you know, I will do something three times or I'll
do it seven times.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
So many are from a chum from yesterday, and I said,
can I have three? All right? So because that's yeah,
that's your number, that's my number.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't know that that explains a bit though. Yeah,
you know, I've been working together for like years and I.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Always have Fisherman's friends.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But the packets always go down a lot quicker than
I expect.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You know how hard it is because I asked from
one of your fishermen friends.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Eating three of them in one goal. They're spicy man,
and then you see me heading for the loop. It
does say on that they're a diretic, but I.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Running straight through the system.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Jade's girls, Arwin and Lulu on the receiving end of
the Damian backhand.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Just get Lulu when I want to work.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
That will whip you up a little fascinator to.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Make me one. One's very creative, one that looks good.
Oh no, you don't say that. I'm hearing a little
heartbreak right now.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
My kids are all the time I'm allowed to say something.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Thinking is up.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You've told them you've convinced. All those pottery pots went
straight into the bind.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Where I said, I'm putting them into a special place
where Daddy can look after it.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I never did.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Work on the fridge has been burned.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
You. Tuesday Melbourne cup and Damian coughed a compliment.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Someone said, I look like a movie star. Everything's in now,
everything pasty skinned, big noses.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
We see it in hairline with exhibit.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's actually true.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
And they're talking about the movement of like the rodent
Man and so all these guys that resemble rats of
becoming sex symbols.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I'm not no, no, you're not.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
But I'm just saying, aka board Rady, it's your type.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
My time to shine.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
The Wednesday, we heard about Jade and Damien hosting Melbourne
Carpet the Yachtie.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Every table had to make a paper airplane. What was
quite funny was everyone was giving their planes and names.
I come up and he goes, well, I'm going to
call mine Jade's Journey, And.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I did say to him, I said, listen, if I
know anything that associated with Jed, this plan.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Will take off to the right and leave the building.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We'll go completely the wrong direction and halfway through. It'll
forget it's a plane's up, but you know what it did.
It's so over the heads of everyone in the place,
and it was at that moment it hit that is
(07:02):
so a metaphor of my life.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
And Jade backed things up by hosting trivia that night
at the Oak Lads Bowling Club.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I was looking at one of the ladies from one
of the teams and tripped over the chair and then
I saw her go oh, and everyone's like ooh. She
went to stand up and she couldn't stand on one
of her legs. Her angle had like twisted out at
a different angles. So we're talking like it was not going.
It was on to the side because I was like, caproably,
not the appropriate time to play love Shack, Turn it Down,
(07:30):
Turn it Down.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
You could.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Too.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Soon from Happy.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Thursday morning and Damien took his family to Cold Play
in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
As you know, there's seventy thousand people all even at
the same time, but for some reason we managed to
really avoid the rush. We're on the road, sat nab On,
you know, it's saying it's only twenty five minutes to
get to Woollongong from Sydney, Olympic Park.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh my god, so even better, Like the satin has
shaped an hour off your tree.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
I continue to follow it and we took left, we
took right.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
We were still doing really, really well until suddenly we
hit a massive traffic jam and then we noticed all
these signs that we were back.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
It's Sydney Olympic Park around the block. What the hell
has happened? We've ended up back in the traffic we avoided.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
And Jade came out and made a big bald statement,
I want.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
To think I'm pretty up to date with technology. Sorry,
what did you say? I'd like to think I'm pretty
up to date with technology. You are terrible with technology.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Where did you get this?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well yourself?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Because when I think of technology and you, I think, wow,
you could be further apart.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh no, are you you constantly?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Damien? How do you turn off the volume on this?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
How do you do that?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
How do you?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And I have showed you so many things a million times?
You're sitting here with an iPhone seven.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
And that's a wrap. Check out Jaden Damien's podcasts on
the iHeartRadio app, wavefem dot com, dot aud.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The Eula Wara's Phone Breakfast Jaden Damien God Wave powered
by Willing gong Mans Dad. See the extraordinary c X
range of SUVs at Will and gong Man's Day. There's
one that's just right for you.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Last night, Damie and I hosted the I three net
showcase at Overtel in Wollongong.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Some people said we were the best MC's they'd ever
seen in their life.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Really, I think so you had a whispered from the
back of the room.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
So they didn't say it to our pieces, but I
know them we're thinking that.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
No other way it was, you know what, It was
like a really good night.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
But what was surprising for me was how many innovative
businesses that are right here in the Laura, like his
head officers are right here in the Illawara, but who
are looking at ways to use renewable energy or you know,
hydrogen or there was a company called green Energy where
all the green gravity free gravity, sorry, where all the
(10:05):
old unused mines which we've got quite a few minds
around the Laura.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Sure that they use these big weights to put them
down in the mine and they pull them up.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And I don't know how it happens because I'm not
learned like they are, but it basically creates free energy,
free energy out of the mine shafts that are not
getting used. And there's like over one hundred thousand mine
shafts in Australia alone, so you could use those to
get energy literally out of the ground without having a
cut into fossil fuels or coal or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Some amazing, amazing things.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
We're actually very lucky. We're in a really cool.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Players and it's like a whole group of business in
the Laura that I didn't even know existed. I've lived
in my whole life, so it was really cool to
be part of it and just to actually get some
insight into all these amazing things that happened and so
many great job opportunities for all walks of life.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You even had a discussion with one of the panelists
because we had to deal with panelists as well, and
about all the meath in that's at your house, Yeah,
at the bar, a lot of your Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I didn't want to extend and say over the microphone
that a lot of it comes from my husband, but
it it was a corporate event, you know, I had
to keep it, keep it my brow, that's right. But look,
we had fun, we hosted. But one thing that happened,
like when I left the event, I was sitting up
my room in the overtee thinking, I think I just
got a little bit of psychology played on me, a
(11:23):
little bit of reverse psychology.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So at the end of the night, everyone who was
a panelist and Damien and myself, they said, look, as.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
A token of our appreciation, you can go and pick
a picture.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And so they held all these beautiful pictures of the Yeloro,
different parts of the Yellaora. And so Damien and I
were at the end of the night and there were
four left.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I'm like, oh cool.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
So we went off the stage and we're looking at
the pictures and the first one that I thought that
really caught my eye was on the Seacliff Bridge.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I just really liked the picture. I thought it was
this really.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Cool juxtaposition of like man made infrastructure meets the water,
and I was going to get that and then I
was like, I went straightforward, and.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Then Damien comes along goes, oh yeah, he goes I
quite like.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I quite like the other one up there with the
it's got the lighthouse on it with the water. Like
if I was going to pick any jade, I'd probably
pick that one. And I was like, oh, yeah, well
I kind of like this one, but I suppose I
like water or maybe I should get there.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
And he's like, well, I was going to have it
if you know.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And then I went, oh, well you have it if
you want He goes, no, no, no, no, you have it,
and I said no, no, you go He goes no, no,
if you really want it, you have it, and I'll
take the one that you've got. So we did a
swap and then we left and I was sitting up
in the room later, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Looking at the picture.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I'm like, don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but I'm
kind of gone, I don't really know if that's I
think I really liked the sea cliff Bridge and that
I'm thinking sitting there, going I think Damien just used
reverse psychology on me to get the picture he wanted.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, you had a bit of, you know, fear of
being left out. You know what's you got to sense
that I wanted it. Boom certainly wanted it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So I need to know is it true? Was it
reverse psychology or did you.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Really want this picture?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Look, it was a bit of a reverse psychology. I
really did want to see cliff Bridge wide.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I know I have it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I have it, but you know that's that's.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I'm never going to trust you again, Damien.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
And here I was.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I thought like he was being extra nice and I
actually thought that I was being nice.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I don't know, and then I ended up losing the
picture I really wanted.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
But look, I will be nice right now if you
if you want to swap, talk to one of the
other people.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Other people have pictures as well.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
All right, yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I will swap with you. He reverse psychology me. And
can I just say I've seen a screenshot of that fight.
It's the wind Dang Bridge.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
What well come, just wait for someone to come and
take a photo of Heim's Creek Bridge at Jambero.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Then I'll put that on my wall.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's your Warren's front breakfast en powered by Will and
Gong Mas Day. I got this feeling.
Speaker 5 (13:48):

fresh start today, you a brand new wooll and Gong
Mas Day.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I don't think my daughter kick You will ever look
at me in the family. I don't think she ever will.
I think her vision of me has changed. What did
you do?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
What did you do to change it? Because I feel
like you were the catalyst.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well I actually wasn't a catalyst, but it is linked
to me.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Okay. So I went to the doctor the other day
and so the Kiki Kiki has been off school because
she's had tonsilitis. So in the end I had to
take her and get her some antibiotics.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
So we did the duel doctor visit.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Oh yeah, nice, you know, did you get it too
for one day or we did not?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Oh damn it.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
We were both in the room and Sam at the time,
however it was double the feet. But anyway, that's neither
here nor there. So she gets antibiotics. I had to
get some test results back as well, and turns out
I have kind of low iron. So so they said, okay,
you got to go off and do a do a
stool sample. Oh yes, you know you got to do
these fecal blood sort of thing. Okay, yep, And that's fine. Okay,
(14:50):
a lot of people do that. It's a standard sort
of test.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, they're saying, you get it afraid of forty five
Everyone should do it. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
So so that's fine.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I leave the doctor's office and I walk with my
daughter Kiki, down to the pathology area of the medical center,
and that's when the lady in the pathology comes out.
She says, okay, so here's what you've got.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
To do with these little with these little prods. Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
And Kiki's standing beside me, my little daughter, she's thirteen
years of age.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
And then the woman goes on and says, okay, so
now what you need to do.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
You need to get a little Chinese dish, you know,
you know, like if you've had Chinese takeaway food, you
gotta get one of those little containers.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Now you've got to sit on the loo. I had
a hobbard underneath you and collect old old mister whippy.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Then what you've got to do is you've got to
get the little prods, and you've gotta brought it into that.
She's going to find details, she really is, She's going
to Kiky is sitting there now. She's got visualizations of
her dad on the loo with a little empty Chinese.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Contat with the dim symbol the family favorite dessing ball.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
The ball, and I'm looking at her worry. I don't worry.
I will watch it each time I use it.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
And then she goes on, and then what you do is,
once you cut your little sample, you put it in
the fridge. She turns around the kikyaes Now, whatever you do,
don't go licking it because it's not the teller.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, man, she would definitely be. I'm grossed out listening
to a third hand. Can't done it myself. Kiki will
never be the same. I mean, a thirteen year old daughter.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
She just want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I just want to think that one might stop the
kids from making more than to tell though, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I know where to height in the tailler, right beside
a little steel
