1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Jason Lauren on one hundred.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: It's Mother's Day Sunday. Great day to celebrate Mums Day.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: Hats off to the florists as well, it's their super

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: Bowl weekend. It's also an extremely hard time for a

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: lot of people who no longer had their mums. For us,

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: this will be our first year without my mum, which

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: will be hard.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: And I've sort of have you thought about it much

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: leading up to Sunday?

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: No, it was funny, you know. The first time it

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: hit me was on Monday when we started doing our

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: Mother's Day lunch and we'll give you away on the air,

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, And I thought, it just

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: hit me like a freight train. So yeah, I'll do Sorry,

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 2: I'll do something for Mom on the weekend. But I

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: thought this morning it might be cool just to do

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: a little toast to her.

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: I'd love that.

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: Now. I know you're hoping for box wine. It's not

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: box wine.

21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: When we were doing a toast with a special drink

22
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: and I thought, oh.

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: Oh, what's this. I've got the Nest Cafe Blend forty

24
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: three oh screen no wait wait wait and the Splendor tablets.

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: Oh Splendor did she'd knock back six to eight cups

26
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: of these a day, with the sweet with the little

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: sweeten the tablets.

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Have we plopped one in mind yet?

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: No? No, no, double dice if you want. And then if

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: mum couldn't sleep at night, she'd wake up and make

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: an instant coffee.

32
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: I can't imagine why she couldn't splendor like I would

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: never tell someone how to live their lives. But if

34
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: you ain't sleeping, do you think going for the ninth

35
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: coffee overnight might have something to do with it?

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: You know what, in the hindsight it could.

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: As we raise a glass of nest cafe.

38
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: What was your mum's name? Janet Hawkins? Yeah, good old

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: jam as ousy as you get.

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: She was as ossy as you get.

41
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: We'd get her on the show sometimes, yeah, we would,

42
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: and she'd ance the phone and go, Jason, what are

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: you doing?

44
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: I loved her.

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: She was on the radio? Are we She'd always, how's Lowen?

46
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: It's Lauren.

47
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: But she'd say, we're not on the radio, are we need?

48
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: No?

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Definitely not, And I'd look at you. You can't mind

50
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: your mum.

51
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: I'm not stupid, Jason. What you'd say?

52
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: She's a ripper.

53
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: So I've written a couple of words I put. And

54
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: this is probably something that's actually only finally hit me,

55
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: which I really should have realized. Now that I've grown up,

56
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: finally become an adult and started to act like one,

57
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: and especially being a parent, I can finally see it.

58
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: Our moms always have our back. When I was a

59
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: chubby little ranger growing up on the mean streets of Brisbane,

60
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: I remember telling her one day that I dreamed of

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: working on the radio. She told me that I could

62
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: do anything. From that day, she was my biggest supporter.

63
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: She drive me to radio station outside Broadcast to get

64
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: my chubby little hands on free cans of coke, and

65
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: then I would make her listen to my demo tapes

66
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: that I'd made up on mysterio on my bedroom. When

67
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: the day finally came and I scored a job at

68
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Triple m answering the phones, I'd finish at ten pm

69
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: at night, and on top of balancing two jobs and

70
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: four kids, she was there every night to pick me up.

71
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: She would have been tied, but she never complaints, never

72
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 2: made me feel bad. She was just there. She was stubborn,

73
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: full of drive, and had a wicked sense of humor

74
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: which I'm very proud to say I share the same

75
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: and it all came from over the years. I'd get

76
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: frustrated with the amount of time she'd called just to

77
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: check in, But now I do anything just to get

78
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: one more of those calls, to hear the words Jay,

79
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: have your sworded your souper? They always do that, just

80
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: straight away. I finally realized mums never stopped worrying and

81
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: caring for you, even as you grow old and leave home.

82
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: They never leave. So for those of you who are

83
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: lucky enough to have your mum with you, make sure

84
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: you take the time to say I love you and

85
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: thank you. And if you can't, just take a private moment,

86
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: remember all those moments and say it anyway. Now, let's

87
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 2: grab our cup of Nest Cafe instant coffee with two

88
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: sweeteners to Janet Hawkins, Happy Mother's Day.

89
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Run out there, Happy Mother's Janet.

90
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: Oh that shit coffee, I don't know. The splendor makes

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: it a lot better.

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: She was a ripper, your mum, Jace, And when when

93
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: we all started working together, she wasn't well and so

94
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: we actually never got the chance to be face to

95
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: face with your mum, but we talked to her on

96
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: the radio a lot. She was a part of our show.

97
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: She always played along. I mean she had no choice

98
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: because half the time you would actually not tell her

99
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: she was on the radio. But I mean she did

100
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 3: an exceptional job raising you guys, and she's left an

101
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: incredible legacy with you all and your boys now also,

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: And you know, it is funny you say.

103
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: That we take those.

104
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: Things for granted, like Mum calling and checking in, and

105
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, oh, yeah, Mum's calling.

106
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: But when which was guilty of it?

107
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, when she doesn't call anymore, you just wish you

108
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: could have one more phone called, right.

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 2: I was going through like my eulogy notes and stuff

110
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: last night, and there's a quick little story I told

111
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: at the funeral. I think I've told you guys before.

112
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: It was like in the final days when I was

113
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: I was going up to Brisbane a lot to see Mum,

114
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: and I was like some of the final days, and

115
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: I walked into the room, I could see her sort

116
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: of usher me over to the bed and I leant

117
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: down and her speech wasn't great at that point, and

118
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: she took the oxygen mask off and I leaned in

119
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: waiting to hear what she wanted. To say to me,

120
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: and she said come close. I said, yeah, Mum, and

121
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: she said, you've put on weight.

122
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: Get it charmed. She never lost her sense of humor,

123
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: did she. Actually, maybe it was more honest. Also in

124
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 3: that poem, I noticed there's not a lot of change

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 3: about you.

126
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 4: Mom said, never change a couple of things. She would

127
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: be immensely proud of you. Thank you and your dad

128
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: as well. And you said something that sort of sat

129
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: with me, just saying, because I probably don't do it,

130
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 4: I'm guilty of it. I don't tell my mom how

131
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: much I love her or say thank you. They're the

132
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: small things, I mean, thank you they have done and

133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: they continue to do so much. And if you're lucky,

134
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: you give her a hugain and say thanks.

135
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's better than any bunch of flowers or maybe

136
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: not a massage.

137
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: But also, like you, Jays, this Mother's Day will be

138
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: really hard for you, being the first Mother's Day without

139
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: your mom. I know my partner Paul doesn't have his mum,

140
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: and we've talked about that recently. My sister in law

141
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 3: lost her mum quite young and every Mother's Day they

142
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: raise a glass to Steph's beautiful mum as well, but

143
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that find Mother's Day really hard,

144
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: and whether it's because they've lost their mum, because they're

145
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: a grieving parent who has lost their child, whether it's

146
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 3: because they're desperate to me and mum and perhaps they

147
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: can't be while it is such a beautiful day of solebration.

148
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: I think it's important for all of us to think

149
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 3: of those people and reach out and let them know

150
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: that you're thinking about those people as well, because it

151
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: is an incredible day of celebration.

152
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: We don't want to make this day a sad day.

153
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: Of course, if you've got your mum, celebrate with every

154
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: part of your being in every way you can. But

155
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: I think it is really important to acknowledge those those

156
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: mums that have left us and will very much be

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: thinking of them on Sunday as well. Jason la Jason

158
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080
