Her room is still a design still. 39 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: Eleven years later, twelve years later, ten years later. 40 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 3: What do you do? 41 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: I guarantee, and we could have this conversation if she's 42 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: still living at home. 43 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: I do believe the child should move out. 44 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: If you're home by twenty five, how do you feel 45 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: about how old is she? 46 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: Twenty five? 47 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? Well I left home to study, and you know 48 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: that people in other parts of the world do that 49 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: very easily. It was a big deal for me to 50 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: leave Sydney and go to Bathist, which is about four 51 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: hour was about four hours away then, but both my 52 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: sons have moved away from home to study, and I 53 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: felt that my life began then. But I hate the 54 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: thought for my sons that their lives are just beginning now, 55 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: because surely I'm everything to them. I'm being ironic, of course, 56 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: but yes so. But I love that for them, that 57 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 2: they a's heartbreaking as it is, I love it for them, 58 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: and I'm jealous and I'm thrilled, and I just think 59 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: it's wonderful that they do it because they can make 60 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: all the mistakes. For example, Jack can stay out till 61 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: whatever time he likes, and I don't need to know 62 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: when he's home. I think is he home yet? Is 63 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: he home here? So it's a head game. It's exhausting. 64 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that because out of mind, out 65 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: of sight, that's right. 66 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: It just works out all right. 67 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: But I do have to remind myself that when I 68 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: moved away, we didn't have mobile phones. You'd write a 69 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: letter home, or maybe once a week you'd make a 70 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: phone call at the payphone. And so when I text 71 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Jack every ten minutes and say what are you doing? 72 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: What are your text me back? Tax me back, and 73 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: he doesn't, I have to remind myself that that's how 74 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: it should be. He should have the freedom to be himself. 75 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting, when we were young, did you find that 76 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: your parents just weren't as involved in your life as 77 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: we are involved with our kids life. 78 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: I think we were. I think my mum was. 79 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: But they didn't. 80 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: They did. It's just that you don't see it until 81 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: you're the parent. Yeah, And that's what we've spoken about. 82 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: This is how much I missed my mum every day 83 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: because I want to say I'm sorry that I was 84 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: annoyed that you cared about me. You know that now 85 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: as a parent, and I nag my children to don't 86 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: forget this, and can I help you make this? Oh, 87 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: don't make that mistake. It's what parents do. 88 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: And maybe that's part of the getting of wisdom as 89 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: you get older, and also with little kids. You know, 90 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be great to go back in time to 91 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: when like I am now I am now, when my 92 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: kids were little. 93 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: I wonder what sort of parent would I be. 94 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: I have to be a better parent because I've been, well, 95 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: i've been I've been a parent now for more than 96 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: half my life, so I've learned a lot of things. 97 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: I think when you're in the thick of it, when 98 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: kids are little, just getting through the day is hard. 99 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: Don't judge yourself on what kind of parent. You were like, 100 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: what notes set you off? What have you seen there 101 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: that's made you talk like that? 102 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: Well, I was just looking and said with Dominique, So 103 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: I've got all I used to get all these letters 104 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: from Romany, so I'm looking at Dom and Dom, out 105 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: of all my kids, is the one that causes least trouble. 106 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 2: He said. He's like a moth. 107 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 3: He's like a little moth. He just like a dom 108 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: How I are good? Great? Any troubles? Are you feeling good? 109 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: Are you're habby? Yep? 110 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 2: He always likes the meals. 111 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: Yep. He's always got it. 112 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: You know. 113 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: At school, he not the greatest student in the world. 114 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: I would have loved him to apply more. But he 115 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: wasn't the worst, and he was never in trouble. He 116 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 3: was just always just there. 117 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: But he's written this note to dad while I was 118 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: doing my homework, Why were you being mean to me? 119 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: Ps? I love you? 120 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: Oh? 121 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: So I'm going and I ran this part of but 122 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: said what happened there? And he is I don't know. 123 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: So obviously he hasn't got any lasting impact on him. 124 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 3: But I look at the little and look at his little. 125 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: Writing ps I love you. Oh that's lovely. Remember though, 126 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: It's funny how Liam hates it when I bring this up, 127 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: the rocket ship, the rocket ship, even you know I 128 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: should let the rocket ship go. 129 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: Let the rocket ship go. 130 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: Liam drew a rocket ship when he was little, and 131 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: in it was Dad, was his brother, Jack was Liam 132 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 2: and Dow Nanny. I wasn't in the rocket ship. 133 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: Where were you? 134 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: Well, That's what I asked him, and he just literally said, oh, 135 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: just enjoy. Every year I tell him how hurt I 136 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: was by the rocket ship. To the point was he's 137 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: twenty one years old. Now he puts his head on 138 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: the desk and says, oh, let the rocket ship go. 139 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: Because they draw things with and they write these notes 140 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: about any intent. Liam wrote one saying I had the 141 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: worst day ever. My friend Raf screamed in the car 142 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: and I didn't get to see you, and that when 143 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 2: I look at that note now, it breaks my heart 144 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: because I've worked very hard to be a very present mother. 145 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 2: These breakfast radio hours, you're not there in the morning, 146 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: but you're there in the afternoon. I was there every 147 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: night for dinner. And it just cuts you, doesn't it. 148 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: They don't remember that, they know they were loved, They 149 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: feel secured just on that day, but as a parent, 150 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: it just pierces you. 151 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, what about that letter he had There was a 152 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: picture of Ripley. 153 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: That's right, it was my mum. There was me and 154 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: Ripley the dog. My mum had passed away, as had 155 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: the dog, and he'd written two down, one to go. 156 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: He was only a kid, so he didn't get how 157 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: painful it was to read that. You know, when my 158 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: mom died and we knew Mum was going to pass away, 159 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: I'd been up in Brisbane for a week where mum 160 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: was and I'd said my farewells hardest thing I've ever 161 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: had to do. But I came back because I had 162 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: two little kids. I think Liam was three and Jack 163 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: was one, and we went round to a friend's house 164 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: and I got the phone call that Mum had passed 165 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: away and I was crying and Liam said to me, 166 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: why are you crying? And I said, well, Grandma's passed away, 167 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: and he said, will she be dead every day? And 168 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 2: I said yes, actually that's why I'm crying. And then 169 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: he said, stop you winging, and I laughed my head 170 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: off actually because that sounds that my mother would have 171 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: laughed at that, because obviously he'd heard me tell him 172 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: a thousand times to stop whinging. 173 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: It's strange, isn't it. 174 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: It's just I remember when Dad died and as he's 175 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: going into the ground, and you were there at the burial, 176 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: Little James, my nephew, just looks down into the grave 177 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: and goes by Grandpa. 178 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: There's something beautiful of that.

We won Best on 192 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 3: Air Team, did we? In the Radio Awards? 193 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: That was the national show. We won Best on Air 194 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: Team Nationally? 195 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 196 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: I love that. 197 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 198 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: And you know what, I have a bit of regret 199 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: because I remember when we were accepting the award. At 200 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: the time, my father had just discovered he had lung 201 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: cancer and we're going through the first treatments there, and 202 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, when we made the speech and there was 203 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: a bit where you go to thank people, and I 204 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: didn't want to be one of those people that thanks 205 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: their dad because you know, it seems a bit self indulgent. 206 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: But dad was the one that had belief in me 207 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: to fund me to get into radio. He said, mate, 208 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: you know. And I was a bit of a goof, 209 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: as you could imagine when I was young. So when 210 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: I said to him I want to get into radio, 211 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: he was the one that said, man, I'll send you 212 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: to radio school if you want to do it. 213 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 3: I was nineteen. If you want to do it, I'll 214 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 3: pay for you to do it. I want you to 215 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: do what you want to do. 216 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: So I wish I had said that at the Radio Awards, 217 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: and but that was you know, he just got the 218 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: lung cancer was still alive back then. 219 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: But I just thought I didn't want to be that 220 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: you know that guy. 221 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: Well maybe now when you watch that guy some other 222 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: guy make a speech, you think, well, that's why that 223 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: person is saying. 224 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: But you remember when Carrie Bigmore did the logis the 225 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: Beanie thing, and that was so good, you know, and 226 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: I remember saying to her afterwards, I said, would you 227 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: plan that? And she said no, it was just took 228 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: the beanie up. I didn't expect it to flow out 229 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: like it did. And I thought, wow, I wish when 230 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: the situation came, I wish I could be that articulate. 231 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: You know, that's a that's a real gift, that's a 232 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: rare gift to get up there when you're in the spotlight, 233 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: to actually use your time in the spotlight to say 234 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: something that's absolutely groundbreaking. 235 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: Because absolutely the majority of us would sit down and go, oh, 236 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: I should have said that. 237 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I know this is like some 238 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: years later, ten years later, I'm thank you. 239 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 3: He's going, Oh, good work mate, where were you all 240 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 3: those years ago? 241 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: What's that thing there that says in the dime to sing? 242 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: I mean, as an article you wrote about the. 243 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 4: Baby's head or so off, wetting the baby's head? Oh, 244 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 4: this is great congenesture.

And 253 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 2: I bet this came from a friend of yours or 254 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: a nephew or someone who'd had a baby, and you 255 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: went along to wit the babies here. 256 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 3: And let women get there. Really, women get all been 257 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: out of show? 258 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: Shall I tell you why? So you're in the hospital, 259 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: you've had a baby. Often there's other children at home 260 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: that need to be looked after. It's a very hard time. 261 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: But your husband two days later, a day maybe the 262 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: same night, gets to go to the pub, and that's 263 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: a ritual where he goes to the pub with all 264 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: his friends and has a number of drinks. 265 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's a celebration, welcome to the world a 266 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: little baby. 267 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'd be really useful if men celebrated 268 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 2: by helping looking after the other kids, or maybe spending 269 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: that time next to his wife in the hospital, do you. 270 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: Think, Yeah, of course, of course.
