1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: In August twenty twenty two, John Farnham was diagnosed with

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: oral cancer. He underwent surgery and thankfully now he's cancer free.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: Inspired by the vital role research played in his treatment,

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: his sons Rob and James Farnham have stepped into the

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: role of Daffodil Day ambassadors for the Cancer Counsel and

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: they join us now. Robin James, Hello.

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how are you boy?

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: How are you very well?

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 3: I always imagine you're talking to us from bunk beds

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: for some reason, like step brothers.

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: We're a little old. We're a little old for that.

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: First of all, how's your dad going?

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: Dades really well? You know, it's every day is a

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: new journey for him and for anyone that sort of

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: goes through that sort of cancer situation. And yeah, he's

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: doing really well. He's happy and he's got to sense

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: of humors. So we can't complain.

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: And the good thing about Daffodil Day, the cancer your

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: dad had was a pretty heavyweight cancer. To hear the

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: is like cancer free ten years ago, five years ago,

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: that might not have happened.

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean definitely not. I mean it does come back,

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: and that's that's the problem, and that's why research is

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: such an important thing with you know, Daffodil Day, you know,

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: just putting the money into research and to make sure

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: that we can get ahead of it before it happens again.

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: How has it been managing the public's emotion around it,

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: the huge outpouring of love for him, But here's your dad,

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: So you had a private family struggle through this too.

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been quite interesting to deal with. You know,

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: it's a sort of a double edged sword with his fame.

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 4: I guess it's like it's got as positives and negatives,

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: but you know, it's a bit different to live it

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: all through the public eye as well.

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you'd feel that everyone wants a piece of

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: him and you say, well, hang on, this is my dad.

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that is true. But we kind of understand that,

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: you know, he's kind of everyone in Australia is their

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: son and daughter as well, so we kind of get

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: that too. So makes sense why people would care for it.

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: So when it came to stepping in being ambassadors for

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: the Cancer Council, was that an easy decision for you

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: guys to make?

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely? I mean, to be able to help and promote

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: and sort of just push. That is a huge deal

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: for us because it's such a it's traumatic for the

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: person that's going through the cancer, but it also affects

49
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: everyone around them, you know, it's a radial effect. And yeah,

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think that everyone at one point in

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: their lives has been touched by it. And it's just

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: a super important thing. We're very excited to be a

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: part of it. And yeah, asked to be a part

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: of it.

55
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: It's quite a privilege to be involved in it. You know,

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: considering one in two people can be diagnosed with cancer,

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: it's quite scary.

58
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: That's a scary.

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: And that's as Barry Dewi says, in your life, you're

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: either going to have to tell someone you have cancer

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: or someone you love will tell you that they do.

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: That is terrifying, isn't it.

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's quite But you know, your dad, we

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: just love playing him on the radio.

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: It's always great.

66
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: And I know you guys, I know what you're going

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: to play.

68
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: Well, no, hang on, you guys articulated and so well,

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: you know the length and breadth of your dad's career.

70
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: But no doubt you'd be loving when you hear Rundle Moore,

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: his star turned singing for Rundlemore in Adelante Loves one

72
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: of my favorite things. I think whenever I feel down,

73
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: I put that film clip on and I just I

74
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: go on YouTube and I just it's the greatest thing

75
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: in the world.

76
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know if I've seen that one.

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: I'm might be a little bit too young for that.

78
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: Dad, Well you would be because it came out I

79
