1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. Sam, you know there's 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: many hardships this year. It's duh. People's lives have changed inexplicably, 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: and I think it strikes me in different times and 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: in different ways how we're mourning, how the loss of 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: our old lives and that feeling that it's a shame. 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: Life still isn't like something. And I've felt this on 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: the weekend watching Jack play rugby for school. That's been 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: a big part of his life and Liam's life. We 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: have to watch Jack play on a streaming YouTube channel 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: now because parents aren't allowed to watch the games. 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, how does that work? You? 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: We give it a code and we type into it 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: and we watch on a screen. Ye, watch Jack's game. 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: They're on TV. Well, yeah, there's streaming service. But then 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: Jack isn't allowed to stay and watch his other teammates play, 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: and no parents are allowed to be there. And I 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: felt this And this is just one small seam, right, 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: it's for really sad. And this is because I said 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: the school rugby has been a big part my boys 20 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: love it, a big part of Liam's life when he 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: finished last year, and with the games in that final 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: year of your schooling all the students are there, the 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: bagpipes come out when it's a home game, the school 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: is chanting, it's you're part of a tribe, your parents 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: are there. This year, there's none of that. There's none 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: of it. And I read this morning about new changes. 27 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: It's just sad. Into school travel into school sport may 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: not happen if you have to, if it's out of 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: your community zone. You can't compete against those schools. Spectators, 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: as I said, aren't permitted. All groups singing and chanting activities, 31 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: wind instruments, so all those musical performances aren't permitted. School formals, dances, 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: and graduations are not permitted. So there'll maybe a school 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: assembly and parents can't go. These are big rights of 34 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: passage for fam as well as for the kids. And 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: I just feel sad. I do. I feel sad. 36 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: It's an upside. You don't have to go, though, that's 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: a good thing. 38 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: See, you've never liked going to that. 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: I was never into the school spirit, you know, and 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: I went. I went to Riverview, very nice school, but 41 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: I just never got it. I used to hate it. 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: I hated school. It was terrible. 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: But even then, for a lot of kids, I maybe 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: don't like school. Those end of year markers, the final 45 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: athletics carnival, your final formal, your graduation. That's the finish line. 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: That's that's a right of passage, the finish line. Whether 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: you haven't liked school or you have. 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: There's a big deal with all the geeks and the 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: guys that were no good at sport. It's probably a 50 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 2: good things. Great don't have to go through that, you think. 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: But even if you're but if you're into if you're 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: into art, there's no their parents can't go and see 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: your oart exhibition at the end of school. It's not 54 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: just the sporty kids. 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, there's you've got to look at. I'm 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: an upside guy. I know there's always an upside and 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: don't have to worry about schools. Don't have to worry 58 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: about my kid taking a pile of ecstasy of the 59 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: Gold Coast or anything like that. So that's going to 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: be a good thing. 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: It's I'm an optimistic person, but sometimes I just think 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: we're allowed to mourn. Of course, what people are missing 63 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: out on? 64 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: Do you want me to get Kenny g out here 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: and play some wind instruments in your Are you right? 66 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: There is an upside, joins the and Amanda in the morning.
