4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,040

00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: things that I don't yeh, yeah, you got a few

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:18,480

Speaker 1: You can pinpoint it to a few networks out there.

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: But I went in there the other night, and usually

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: we have dinner before we do the show, right, and

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: so we sit down. What I love about the show

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: is we get to sit down, we have dinner together,

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,680

Speaker 1: we have a great time before we go on there

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: and the mood's up and you're warming up and we

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: do the show.

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: The other night, I'm like, oh, can somebody get me

17
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: a water with my meal? And they all started laughing,

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: and I said, what's going on?

19
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: And they said, there's a lock has been put on

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: A lock has been put on the water.

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Fridge at work. What are you talking about?

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: No one can get water anymore at work because everyone's

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: just taking too many bottles of water. So they've put

24
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: a padlock on the water fridge at work.

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: How do you access it? Do you have to get

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: permission or signed.

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: You've got to go through someone to get a bottle

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: of water at work.

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: CEO, Yeah, you need to register with the CEO. Is

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 4: a water consumer.

31
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: The water at work?

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 5: Have? They also put signs up saying Sydney tap water

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 5: is great.

34
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: Do you know you don't need to get.

35
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: Out of a bottle? I mean, how h too low?

36
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Do you have to go when you're putting a padlock

37
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: on the water fridge?

38
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 4: I thought there was heaps of money in TV. I

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: thought stations were making a fortune.

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 5: I mean, okay, I do get it if people are

41
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: taking armfuls of water, you know, bottled water out at

42
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: the end of the day, and it's not to hydrate

43
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 5: them at work. But are you really saving that much

44
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 5: money is water?

45
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: Oh my god? I think it's the level they set

46
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: at at Kate. A lot of businesses these days, especially

47
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: in media, are saying you save a dollar wherever we

48
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: can save a dollar.

49
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: To me, I don't care how you do that. Tell me.

50
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I went through three stapless this morning as well, and

51
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: none of them had any staples in them. And you

52
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: could not find any staples in the office.

53
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry, we're cutting down on the use of metal.

54
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: Do you have to stationery?

55
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: Do you have to submit something and register.

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 5: Lock and key if we use the staple and it

57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: doesn't work, you know when sometimes the first staple gets

58
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 5: a bit double up.

59
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I saw Tommy sneaking toilet paper into the

60
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 4: car the other day, so you know that needs to

61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: be under lock and key.

62
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 5: Well, people were doing that, remembered during COVID stealing your

63
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 5: toilet paper from work, crazy because it couldn't get it

64
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 5: on the shelf.

65
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: Brendan, And manly, what's happening at your work place?

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 6: Brendan, Yeah, good morning times.

Speaker 1: It's tough, aren't they, Yes, very tough, tough tough anyway, Yeah,

68
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: where render is right.

69
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 6: So we've got to mix this cement up and I

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 6: could booth and put it on the wall and do

71
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 6: all that type of stuff. And that's what we're doing

72
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 6: all day. And now the cement is falling on the

73
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 6: ground and we were remixing this dement.

74
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: You've got to pick.

75
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Up the excess off the ground, Brendan and put it

76
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: back in the bucket.

77
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 6: We're picking up all the excess made, every scaic, every drop,

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 6: and we are remissing and we are saving on dement.

79
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: Just with a little bit of dirt in it too.

80
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, we love it.

81
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: That is bad, Frank and Botany. Tell us about your job, Frank, I.

00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 7: I was in a high position and we had to

84
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 7: put a lock on the beer fridge. The beer was

85
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 7: disappearing very early in the morning the morning.

86
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: And then, Frank, who did you have to go to

87
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: to get a beer out of the fridge.

88
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 7: I had to go to certain people that we'll all

89
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 7: remain nameless.

90
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: That not you. You weren't in charge of the beer fridge.

91
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: No, yeah, but how annoying when you have to wait

92
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: for ten am before you know what I mean?

93
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,920

Speaker 1: eleven am or water jaw.

00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 5: and they were only using one nail perkward instead of two.

105

Speaker 7: There's no color print allowed.

109
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: Color print, I mean it's very expensive to buy the ink.

110
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.

111
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: The color I love it. Did you get into trouble

112
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: if you did go color?

113
00:04:59,640 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 7: Yeah?

114
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 6: You did because the GM is to walk around and

115
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 6: if she found color, she used to ask, and no

116
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 6: one used to own up.

117
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: So yeah, no one. You know, it's quite interesting.

118
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,000

Speaker 4: double sided print was introduced a well.

120
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: I mean, think about the paper that people go through.

121
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: It's environmental, about the trees fras in Bankstown, Fras. Things
