1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Speaking being over things. I was over everything. Yesterday. I

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: had a bad day. I had a sad day. And normally,

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: as I said, I'm an optimistic person, but I just

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: felt sad, and particularly when Jack said, have I had

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: my last day of school? He's in year twelve, he

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: went at the end of last term, comes home. Who

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: knew that that might actually be the last day of

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: his schooling?

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's all those little triggers, isn't that?

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it really is. And I mentioned also about all

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: the things you want for your kids, all the the

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: you know, the Kentiquy tour, the just the looseness of

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: you only get it one chance at that. I know

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: that's not true, but it feels like that there is

16
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: so much he is in your early twenties or years

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: take off, and it just really hit me. But you

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: know what I loved yesterday is I was a bit

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: weepy on air, and so many people reached out to me.

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: So many people said to you, okay, And at first

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: I was embarrassed because I thought, it's hard to make

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: yourself vulnerable, isn't it. You're the same Brendan. It's hard

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 2: to be vulnerable and it's embarrassing really, and I haven't

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: really suffered. I can pay my bills, I haven't lost

25
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: my job, I have a roof over my head, I

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: have food in my cupboards. So I felt a bit

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: like a grief thief that I did wasn't entitled to

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: feel as bad as I was. But all the people

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: that reached out yesterday said they were feeling the same.

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: And I think that was a real eye opener to me.

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: That I felt it yesterday. You may feel it next week.

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: Last week might have been your turn to go under.

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,639
Speaker 2: It's okay to not be yourself and to feel terrible.

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: These are really trying times. So it really meant a

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: lot to me that people reached out. So you look

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: out for each other, look out for yourself. If you

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: need a day under the covers, do it. It's these

38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: aren't normal times. My son goes for a swim every

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: day freezing. He goes for a swim and jumps in

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: the cold water, and that's what he does to refresh himself.

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: So have a think about what you need to get

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: through this. Otherwise he's in his room all days doing homeschooling.

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: Is when of the trials are they going to happen. Well,

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I have an hsc what's going on? That dunk in

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: the cold water really helps him. And for me yesterday

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: it was taking the dog for a walk in the

47
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: park sunshine. So whatever you need, just look after yourself

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: and look after each other. I really felt the community

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: of that yesterday. Doesn't matter how lucky you might feel

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: as opposed to other people. You're allowed to have a

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 2: crap day.

52
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, because everyone's in the same boat in different degrees,

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: that's for sure. But I think of all the friends

54
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: we've lost, people that have passed away. Started last year

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: when Stuart Cranny passed away, you know radio legend, we

56
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: couldn't go to his funeral. Then we've lost some friends

57
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: this year, mostly with John colem Batman, who is to

58
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: work with. You know, these are all people that we

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: won't be able to go to their funeral.

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: Their rights of passage.

61
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: And usually I'm not overly an emotional person, but at

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the funeral, that's where the grief comes for me. You know,

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: that's where where they're doing the eulogy and you hear

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's where you allow yourself to grieve,

65
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: you know, And when those people are gone, they just

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: suddenly go and I'm not getting that. I was thinking

67
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: about Stuc Cranny the other day. You know, he was

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: one of my radial mentors. He is gone now and

69
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: he's been dead more than a year now. But there

70
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: was no no funeral, there was no service. There was

71
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: wasn't even really a mention in the newspaper.

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: Authorized the wound.

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: It just feels like, you know that is that where

74
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: it comes to? Is this and exactly what Jack said?

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Is this the last the kid's been to school for

76
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: twelve years?

77
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: Is this it? And I didn't even know that was

78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: my last day?

79
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: And if you're working on a building side or something

80
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: like that, is this the last I'm going to work

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: on this job?

82
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: What about? What about our entertainment industry? Yes, we spoke

83
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: to all those things canceled. We spoke to Keith. He

84
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: hasn't performed since last February.

85
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Keith was happy to see us.

86
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: It's it's it's big, big stuff. And even if you're

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: not impacted financially or whatever, you allow yourself to feel

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: it because this is really hard. I'm weepy constantly at

89
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: the moment. When I was cooking last night, I was

90
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: listening to Jim Crochey thinking of my early university days

91
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: and then thinking, oh, well they have their university days.

92
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: It made me so you were weepy before this whole thing.

93
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: I know I'm trying to tears, but it doesn't help.

94
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: At the moment the whole family go oh, here she goes.

95
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: But be kind to yourself and each other. Jonesy and

96
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Amanda's
