1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: This is jem Nason with gen Z. Though on Friday,

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: I played a TikTok that I had seen that really

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: touched a nerve with me, and it seems to have

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: touched a nerve with a lot of people. If you

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't hear it here, it is.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: You're worried about something, Call your mom. You didn't do

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: your homework, Call your mom. Got in trouble, you need

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: someone to come pick you up. Call your mom. It's

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: three am. Call your mom. That word mom, right when

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: there's a problem. You call her that word mom. When

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: you just say it right, you know that's gonna be okay.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: That's the gift you have in your life. Don't waste

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: that gift. There's a vision that your mom has of you,

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 2: and she can see it. She's given that before you're

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: given that, and it's her job to show you that way.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: It's her job to tell you that vision. That's why

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: your mom keeps calling you. That's why your mom keeps

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: reminding you. That's why your mom believes in you, because

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: she can see everything you're about to do. Take it seriously.

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: It's serious. Mom loves you.

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Follow her lead. What he titled that was what I

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: wish I'd known when I was in high school. And

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: it's so true, isn't it. And I sent it to

24
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: my sons and over the weekend I said, oh, did

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: you get that video? I sent the TikTok. And because

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: it says call your mum, Call your mum, call you mum,

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: it's easy to think it's about why don't you call me?

28
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: But it's not actually about that, or that's not why

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: I sent it to them. It was to say, here's

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: why I'll always be here for you' That's what the

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: word mum says. I will always be here for you,

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: and that's why I call you. That's why I feel

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: the need to call you and have that connection.

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 2: Which is nice.

35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I have a great relationship with my sons,

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: and you know they do text and call and nag

37
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: them and all that sort of stuff. And Liam said,

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: you've sent it to the wrong son because he always

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: gets back to me.

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: Jack.

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Jack's sporadic with his response, but he said it was lovely.

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to respond. I thought, that's fair enough.

43
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: It was me needing to tell you that. But it

44
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: hit a nerve with a lot of people. I even't

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: got a phone call on the weekend from the woman

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: who was out from the beautiful Bev who was our

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: first nanny when the boys were little, and I came

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: back to work and she said that she knew my

49
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: mum was in Brisbane and how much I missed her,

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: and she said I always felt like your second mum.

51
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: And she saw that and she's on Facebook and said,

52
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: I'd also want to tell you that I love you.

53
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: And so it's about your kids, it's about your mum.

54
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: But it's about the word mum and the connotation of

55
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: what that says. And people have great relationships or bad relationships,

56
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: relationships with their dads, but the word dad says something

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: different your dad.

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: When you call you dad, you want money, or you've

59
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: smashed the car or something like that.

60
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: There's something about the word mum which is different to

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: the word dad. Just some of the response I got

62
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: from Lisa. This resonates with me so much. I sent

63
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: it to my son's no response. Lol. I miss my

64
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: mum too. I wish I'd been more patient with her,

65
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: wish she was here to talk about this stuff. She said.

66
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: I saw this and sent it to my twenty two

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: year old son. Nothing in response, like always, but if

68
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: you'd listen to it and it's in tirety. He would

69
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: have taken it in like those times in the car

70
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: having conversations he didn't want to have, but he heard it.

71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: He knows my action by my actions. He is loved

72
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: no matter what. Boys need reminding, but they know their love.

73
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: But sometimes mums are more verbal, aren't they. This is

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: from Jody. Always tell a loved one how much you

75
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: loved them. I didn't get this chance and it gets

76
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: me all the time. My last words to my mum

77
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: or I'll see you tomorrow. And then I got this

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: from Esther, who said, thanks for playing that TikTok video.

79
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm estranged from my mum after a long history of

80
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: bad behavior on her behalf. Not everyone's relationship with their

81
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: mum is great, but this still spoke to me and

82
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: it gives me the motivation to be a better mum

83
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: to my children than my mum was to me. So

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: that's the nature of what this stuff stirs up in us,

85
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: the need to love our mums, our children. We don't

86
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: always get it right, we don't always receive that love.

87
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: Our relationships are sometimes fractured. But if you can tell

88
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: them you love them, Yeah, I did.

89
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: I called my mom on the weekend. Nice. She gave

90
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: me fifty jobs to do, take the barbecue out, do

91
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: all this other stuff.

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I say, Brendan loves her doing you love is

93
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: doing well. But yeah, but it's not like a sheaf

94
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: of chores.

95
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: That go with it.

96
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: Well. Thank you to everyone who that touched and who

97
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: responded to that
