Before Jonesy became a hugely successful breakfast radio host as part of Jonesy and Amanda on Sydney's WSFM, I knew him simply as Brendan Jones. Back in 1990 when Brendan first arrived in Karratha, I'd already been working on air for over a year, and he was just some guy from Sydney about to start work at 6KA. His wife Helen was still just his girlfriend back then, but she packed up her life in Sydney to join him a few months later. We all lived together in the 6KA radio station share house, so they're both well versed in what it was like to live with the 20 year old version of me. Hence I couldn't resist inviting both of them to join me to help me recount a weeks worth of diary entries. Unfortunately for them, they had to do that whilst sharing one pair of headphones between their heads, so throughout this episode just imagine their faces mashed together, cheek to cheek, necks bent out of shape, as they struggle to hold one ear piece each to one of their ears. It was certainly a look hehe. In this episode, teenage me arrives at work one minute before I’m meant to be on air, mostly because I was more interesting in getting lunch to stuff my face with. Have you noticed I'm easily distracted by food yet? House sitting my co-worker Jan Swan's house is replaced by a return to an empty radio station share house, will teenage me cope with living alone? I'll also deliver my self described “best shift ever”, whip up an old fashion Aussie classic for dinner, and get dragged into a crisis meeting with management, after Cyndy demands I share her outrage over who’s going to replace Glenn on air. Plus a chance encounter with an actual celebrity from Prisoner/Cell Block H and Aussie music fame, gets ruined by a washing machine that clearly hates me, or maybe I’m just forgetful. Again, it's always the last one.
