1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning with all the chaos

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: and madness the coronavirus has brought. I didn't ask, and

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: I feel bad about this. He went so on Liam

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: and his little university digs on.

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Friday and his little university digs. Well, that's right, here's

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: the backstory. My eldest son is at university and he's made.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: What's he studying.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: Well, he's studying pre med with the idea of moving

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: into med.

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's so cool. I have such kid envy.

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Well, he's always been sort of a science head and

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: he likes sports, medicine and all that kind of stuff.

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 2: So that's what he's hoping to do.

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm not saying I don't know. Aren't proud of

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: my kids. I think they do great work. But you know,

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: there's that one thing if you if your kid says

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a doctor or a lawyer, you

18
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: go to use that really Yeah, of course, you.

19
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Talk what about people who say, my kid wants to

20
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: be an astronaut, Mike Kid wants to dance on stage,

21
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: my kid wants to peel a banana for a living

22
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: in an art installation. So the banana peeler you have

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: to be proud of whoever.

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: He's the one where you go, well, good on you, mate,

25
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I love you anyway.

26
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: Let's apply for an arts question.

27
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: But if your kid comes home and says, you know, Dad,

28
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: I want to be a doctor, you go, well, hang

29
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: on a minute, and then you start walking around like

30
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: Conor McGregor game. My boy wants to be a doctor.

31
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: In it for the script pad. But he's he wanted

32
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: to move out of Sydney to study, and so he's

33
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: at Newcastle UNI. What I hadn't been up to the

34
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: campus before, so I went up on Friday and it's

35
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: so good to see him and to see I remember

36
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: this for me when I left home and I studied

37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: in Bathist. This is when you decide who will I be?

38
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: Who will I be in my adult life? And so

39
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: to see how he's you know, he's hanging up his

40
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: t shirts and to see his second draw down because

41
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: the campus city's in the college doesn't provide lunch, so

42
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: he's got some microwave rice and tins of tune or

43
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: he's just got his life set up. And you know

44
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: it's such a boy's room. It looks like a prison room.

45
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: But he's just got his deodor and his toothbrush just

46
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: on the bench. You know, the girls rooms apparently have

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: all these posters and all hanging plants. Has none of that.

48
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: So it was just really great to see you.

49
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: How did you go walking through the campus, going through

50
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: the dormitory to people? Do people spot you? Because Liam said,

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: my mum is this No?

52
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Liam has made no reference to the fact I work

53
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: in the.

54
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Media, right, So.

55
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: So I went through. I was dressed like Cruella Deville

56
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: m several dead Dalmatians, very long cigarette holders, saying who's

57
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: going to carry this bag? Who's the bag? Right? One

58
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: of his friends is walking past on his way to

59
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: the shower at one pm there, So you know it's

60
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: student life, isn't it.

61
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: I told him to watch the movie Animal House that

62
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you everything you need to know about university.

63
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: Life, food fights from here to breakfast. But he just

64
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: looks so happy, and his hair's enormous, and he's just

65
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: you know, he's joined the rugby club there and he's

66
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: just finding out who he is and he's made new friends.

67
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: Sounds like I'm talking about a kid who's going to daycare.

68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: And it's the same thing, isn't it. He just wants

69
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: on their way, you you know, wish them luck and

70
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: off they go. And ironically, you know, we text each

71
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: other all the time, we talk to each other. It's

72
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: the first time I've seen him because they recommend that

73
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: you don't that they don't come home too often in

74
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: the first couple of months, so that they start to

75
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: get a feel for where they are and form friendships

76
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: and feel like they're part of the union and the college.

77
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: So we'll see him again at Easter. But oh, it

78
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: was just I took him out to dinner Friday, and

79
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: I was just so good to see him.

80
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: How many beer bonds did you have?

81
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: I had eight. I don't even know what that is,

82
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: but I had, and he did a y my stuff.

83
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: He didn't want any. Mum, it's eight o'clock in the morning.
