1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: For the first time in seventeen years, we didn't have

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 2: a show on Friday. Yes, it was your father in

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: law's funeral, Helen's dad up atwill tweet head No, just tweetheads. Tweetheads,

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 2: and you gave the eulogy. How did it go?

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Eulogy was all right. It was a bit more emotional

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: than I imagined.

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: I've done a lot of eulogies for people like the US, Yeah,

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: probably about six or seven, have you, but this one, Yeah,

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: it really hit me.

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: It was.

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: It was hard because I think when Ron passed away,

13
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: it was so quickly. He was eighty six, and most

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: people would say to me, oh, he had a good innings.

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: And Ron certainly had a good innings.

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: But he was like as strong as a Malley bull exactly.

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: I never imagined he as an old guy.

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: When you say something about it, eighty six year old said, yeah,

19
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: that's an old guy.

20
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: That's not Ron.

21
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: So but thank you to all the people that said

22
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: nice things on social media. It was very hard on

23
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: I think the latter part of the week because I

24
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 3: was trying to make the radio show work because there's

25
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: nothing wasn't an interstate funeral is the worst flight that

26
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: you've got to take because it's not fun. You're not

27
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: going to a fun thing. Aren't you going to a funeral?

28
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: And I thought I will do the radio show from

29
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: up there. We couldn't do it from the Gold Ghost.

30
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: And then I was going to do it in Brisbane

31
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 3: and I was just getting more.

32
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: The logistics because there's also a time change.

33
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the stupid Queen's aim where there stupid non

34
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: daylight saving time.

35
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: It's just about so.

36
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: We're very aware that, you know, you you have to

37
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: give yourself over to what that day is.

38
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: Well, and that's what I meant. That's what happens because

39
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: everyone you always have that grief bomb.

40
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: The grief bomb will hit you.

41
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: So what I was trying to do, I was trying

42
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: to control something that I couldn't control. So I couldn't

43
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: control the timing of Ron's death, so I thought, well

44
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: I'll try and control everything else around it.

45
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: It's a mess.

46
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: It's interesting that timing is something that really stresses people,

47
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: stresses us out. I know when my mom passed away,

48
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: it was the same thing. I thought, Mum's really sick

49
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: this week. What have I got on it's terrible and

50
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: you don't of course you don't mean it like that,

51
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: but like with all the IVF years as well, I've

52
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: got to have to go for an egg collection on Wednesday. God,

53
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: look what I've got on Wednesday. It's that's and it's

54
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: awful that that's how we feel, isn't it. We don't

55
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: really feel that, but we are slaves to our routine.

56
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Well.

57
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: And you also with cancer, you know, and I saw

58
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: this with my own father. But when Dad died, his

59
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: cancer went for two years, and we were on that

60
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: journey all the way.

61
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Ron's cancer was that quick. It's like a couple of weeks,

62
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: we served a.

63
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: Christmas and he was as fine as anything. Then Helen

64
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: said I've got to go up there and see he's

65
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: not well.

66
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: And I'm okay.

67
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: That was only two three weeks ago, and then boom

68
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: it it just happened. And at the end, and Ron

69
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: wasn't the sort of guy that you would want to

70
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: sit there and see on his deathbed.

71
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that was doing it.

72
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Was hanging upside down on the kid's monkey bars across

73
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: from his house and Tweed River there a few weeks ago,

74
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, it's and all of a sudden he's dead.

75
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: I really liked well, you put a really nice thing

76
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: on your Insta about him, and sheardon Jobbins, who's actually

77
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: a friend of mine.

78
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: You remember sharing from Simon Jownsen's why she made a.

79
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: Great quote here. She said, the family we choose is

80
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: as precious as the family we're born into. Very nice,

81
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: isn't it very so condolences to you and Helen and
