What important question is posed at the beginning?

Stephen Fenech 0:01

Listen, I have a very important question for you. Last weekend, of the most momentous days of the week, how good were the Socceroos? That was a highlight of your weekend, wasn't it? One of them. We've already mentioned at the start of the main show, Grandpa Steve is here, folks. Ladies and gentlemen.

How did the Socceroos perform last weekend?

Stephen Fenech 0:26

Thank you very much. Little Jack. Little Jack. Little Jack. As if you even bothered. Because the Socceroos was post-baby, wasn't it?

Trevor Long 0:34

Socceroos was Sunday. Sunday, yes. Sunday. And Jack was born on Thursday. Dude, he's so close to being in my sweep. I picked the 11th. She goes into labour on the 11th. He actually was born on his due date.

What significant event is Grandpa Steve celebrating?

Trevor Long 0:48

Yeah, so due the 12th. Because didn't Jo pick the 12th? No, Jo picked the 2nd. She was wishful thinking and wanted it early.

Stephen Fenech 0:55

Has Jo come home? No.

Trevor Long 0:58

She's still up there, yeah. I might see her in a couple of months. I don't know. Just rattling around on my own in this big house. Yeah. Oh, they've got a decent space. Yeah, you've got a three-bedroom house. Yeah, she's staying with them.

Stephen Fenech 1:10

I mean, the thing is, you're family, Maltese. You're a family, family, family, right? It's all good. But, see, I'd be like, listen, come visit after a week.

What was the experience of the birth of little Jack like?

Stephen Fenech 1:21

I'd be like, you know, just come round.

Trevor Long 1:23

I know. Joe and Hayley, they talk every day, mate. They're very close anyway, so. It was, you know, Jo was only too happy to help out. And just to get her in, I think she's home now, so she's sort of got to get into the room. It's okay when you're in hospital, you've got midwives and everyone helping you. But once you're home, you've got to sort out your own routine and get everything done. So, no, Jo's there, mate. She's had three kids of her own, so she knows what she's doing. And he's a little champion. He's changing and growing. He looks different than a week ago when he was born.

Stephen Fenech 1:56

It's like you became a different person, honestly. You were sharing photos and there was something you said. I won't bring it up because you'll remember what you said, but you said something like there's just nothing like seeing your own baby have a baby.

Trevor Long 2:10

Yeah. That was it. Yeah. Your child having a child. Look, it felt as momentous an occasion as having your own kid.

Stephen Fenech 2:20

Well, and so talk me through that because I know I say to people it's, you know, because you meet people who are pregnant for the first time or whatever, and you know them not passing. So if you didn't pass, I wouldn't ever say this to somebody. If I know someone reasonably well, so there's a couple of PR people, for example. Yes. And I've definitely said this to them where I go, all I can say is do your own thing, be your own person. Babies, they're just little humans. They need to be fed, bathed, and they need to shit. It's not hard, right? But what I say is I will never, never forget, and I've definitely said this on this show, the love that you feel when you hold your baby for the first time, it's unmatched.

Stephen Fenech 3:00

Yeah. You think you love your wife. You think you fall in love with a partner or whatever, but then you hold this baby and you're like, holy hell. I've got goosebumps thinking about it. So are you saying to me that it's all over again?

Trevor Long 3:11

Absolutely. Well, I think you kind of find – it's funny how you sort of find your place. It's your place in the world has changed. So you're now – your child's had a child so you're this grandparent who it's sort of the the expansion of the family but that that feeling and other people have said it to me too guys i'll wait to you a grandparent it's it's it's amazing and they're right it's just like when you can tell people how amazing it is to have a child but until you have your own you don't really realize it and that's what i've come to realize this this little human who is our child's child is remarkable and and It really – and a lot of people say, oh, do you feel old? But I don't think that.

Trevor Long 3:56

I've got a – I'm going to have, I mean, I'm hoping, a really good relationship with this – with Jack, you know, as he grows up. And, you know, I'm trying to – going to buy him a South Jersey and, you know, try to do all that sort of thing.
