00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,519
Speaker 1: High Scrollers is produced on Gadigle Land.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this

Speaker 3: Hey, team producer Hannah here aka Google Girl, and I

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 3: just want to explain something. This episode was recorded last week,

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: so Britt talks about some stuff that was going to

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 3: be coming up on the weekend that you may have

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: already seen happen on her socials.

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 4: So I'm so sorry about that.

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: We tried to get ahead, we tried to be tricky,

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: and then we just confuse things. So enjoy the episode,

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: but that's why it might be a bit confusing.

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 4: Happy New Financial Year.

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Happy eof how would you say that it's now start

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: a financial year?

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 4: Actually, can I let all.

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: The Scrollers in on a little secret? Oh, don't be

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: so excused, Matt, go on, So you're hearing it here first.

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: Actually there might be a few like Easter eggs across

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: our fate social media. But tomorrow, if you're listening to

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: this on the day that it comes out, which I'm

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: assuming every single one of you is, on Saturday and

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Sunday this week, the first week of the first weekend

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: of the new financial year, Fate is doing our start

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: of financial year sale.

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: Oh have fun? Why have you decided to do that?

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: So we did it last year and we're doing it

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: again this year, and I assume it's going to be

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: a tradition from here on out because as you know, like,

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: how many emails have you gotten in your inbox Matt

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: over the last month about end of financial year sale?

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah? Quite a few.

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Actually, we just being Fate and me, we always just

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: try to think outside the box and do something a

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: little bit different. So I don't know if you remember, Matt,

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: don't know how much of a Fate fan you are,

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: but last year we did this skit and it was

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: me and I realized, oh my god, we forgot.

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: The end of financial year.

41
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: And then Aj in the video was like, well, let's

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: just do a start a financial years sale and call

43
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: it Soffie, like ev but softie.

44

00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Nice hit the ground running sort of thing, you know, Yeah, like.

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't want Fate to make any more money in

51
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks of the financial year because

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: we've like, you know, I.

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: Don't want to bring in more.

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: If anything, I'm trying to spend so that our tax

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: bill will come down that tiny little.

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: Bit, right, And so like not to turn this into

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: a big business episode.

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: But this is a finance episode today, But like.

59
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: Why do businesses do end of financial year sales then

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: if they don't want to?

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: This is a good question.

62
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: So and it makes I get why you say that,

63
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: because I feel the same, like why do businesses want

64
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: to increase their revenue meaning that they're going to have

65
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: more tax to pay? So a lot of businesses do

66
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: it because they maybe haven't hit their financial goals for

67
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: the year, so they do one last effort to hit

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: all those KPIs. But as everyone knows, Fate doesn't have

69
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: any KPIs as a company, So we're not like, we

70
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: need to make an extra million dollars in this financial

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: year because that's just not how our business works. Another

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: reason companies do it, and this is probably more of

73
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: an AJ question because he's a numbers guy. But when

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: businesses sell something less than the cost, they can then

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: claim the difference. I don't know exactly how it works,

76
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: but let's say like a business sells. A business purchases

77
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: a piece of stock for twenty dollars, and let's say

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: they sell it for fifteen. They can then claim that

79
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: five dollars I think as a loss. Okay, Like it's

80
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: some clever sort of tax thing. So that's why you'll

81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: see a lot of businesses doing like up to eighty

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: percent off and like that. I'll heavily discount some of

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: those items so they can claim the loss because they

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: sold it for less than what they bought it for.

85
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: But I don't know exactly how it works, but it's

86
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: a bit of that as well.

87
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: But as for us, like I don't want to make

88
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: as much money possible in the last couple of weeks

89
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: of the financial year because that means our tax bill

90
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: is just going to be bigger and we.

91
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: Have to pay it sooner.

92
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: So I'd rather kick off our financial year with high

93
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: sales because then I don't have to pay the tax

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: on that until a year later.

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and anything in the last in June next year, yeah, no.

96
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: More sales, and like that's like right now in the

97
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: end of June, Like we're not coming out with any

98
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: new arrivals or anything, because we kind of don't want

99
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: to spike our sales in the last couple of weeks

100
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: because then we have to pay tax on it asap.

101
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: You know.

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of big business for you

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: all today.

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: Nice and I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.

105
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: I also got to say, why the fuck is the

106
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: financial year from the middle of the year to the

107
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: middle of the year.

108
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: Can't we just make it?

109
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: Well, can't we just make it January to December like the.

110
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: Rest of the year.

111
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: But I think everyone is on holidays and stuff. Yeah,

112
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: so who wants to worry about and the financial year?

113
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: And also what maybe it's consumerism sort of thing. We've

114
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: got Black Friday, we've got Boxing Day. We need a

115
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: sail through it, Like maybe it was who knows how

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: the financial year is created? Do you know what I mean?

117
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: And also like I love Black Friday, like everyone loves

118
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Black Friday. But Black Friday has ruined Boxing Day. Like

119
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: Boxing Day isn't exciting like it used to be. Like

120
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: remember before online shopping how exciting Boxing Day sales were,

121
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: Like you'd go to Charlestown Square and you'd shop up

122
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: a storm. But now no one really gets excited about

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Boxing Day because they spend all their money in Black Friday.

124
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as well. I really like that Black

125
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: Friday is the thing as opposed to Boxing Day, because

126
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: like Boxing Day, it's a dast to Christmas. I want

127
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: to relact. I don't want to have to go to

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: the shop.

129
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: I know, and I do all micro Christmas shopping like

130
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: in the Black Friday sales.

131
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that is the best part about it.

132
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: I will say though Black Friday isn't even Black Friday.

133
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: Black Friday starts October and runs through like a lot

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: of brands start their Black Friday sales now three weeks now.

135
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Because there's because everyone's competing to get the sale in first.

136
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: So Black Friday used to be like, what is it

137
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: the last something.

138
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: Of the last Friday of November.

139
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: November, but now brands go a month early.

140
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: So that's why you have like a month long sale

141
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: period because everyone's competing to get the customers to shop

142
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: with them. And it's actually so tough, like especially on

143
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: small businesses, because like it's fine for the big dogs

144
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: to go on sale for a month long and have

145
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: all these promos. But the poor little small businesses then

146
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: they're not going to make sales during that time because

147
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: everyone's shopping with the big brands and the small brands

148
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: can't afford to, you know, discount themselves so heavily for

149
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: so long.

150
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 4: So it's a great topic.

151
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: I'll have to get you on big business one time,

152
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: mat so we can talk more about it.

153
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: I would love to. I like talking about all this stuff.

154
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: This is like a regular dinner conversation for me, especially now.

155
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: You know why I love big business because this is

156
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: what the shit that I love talking about.

157
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I'm always you know, telling my friends

158
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: if they buy something and you know, the cashier I

159
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: find with them and the cashier goes, do you want

160
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: to receipt? And they go, nah, don't worry about I

161
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: keep the bloody receipt. Love. You never know if you

162
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: could use that at tax time, you know. So I

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: think it's really.

164
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Interesting tax time for employees versus tax time for business owners.

165
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: I did an episode recently where I spoke about like

166
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: all of our expenses in a year at Fate, and

167
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I put up a couple of social clips and then

168
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: someone commented like something, and then I replied, and then

169
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I get taxed on all of this, like all of

170
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: these expenses that I was going through, then I get

171
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: taxed on that. And someone replied and said, do you

172
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: get a tax bill on top of all this money

173
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: that you spend? And I'm like, yeah, Like, business tax

174
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: is fucked. But I think when you're an employee, you know,

175
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I think back to when I was working nine to five,

176
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: you don't think about it from the business point, Like

177
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: you get your tax taken out of your pay every

178
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: week automatically, so you don't even think of it. And

179
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: then when it comes to tax time, you get a

180
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: little bit excited because you might get back, you know,

181
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars or two thousand dollars.

182
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: But then for a business.

183
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: Like tax time, like you don't get you get slapped

184
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: with the biggest bill you've ever seen in your life.

185
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: Do you pay quarterly, Yeah, we pay as we go,

186
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: but there's still like your yearly massive tax bill, but

187
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: you pay throughout the year so that that massive one

188
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: isn't as big, but it's still massive. So I fucking

189
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: hate tax the biggest scam in the history of the world.

190
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: And sometimes AJ and I get our tax bills and

191
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: we're just like, how fucked is this? Like we work

192
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: so hard, we have created so much employment, we give

193
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: people so many jobs, we pay everyone well, and then

194
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: you get stung with yeah, we'll just take like basically

195
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: half of it, half of all your hard work.

196
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and fucking make it makes sense.

197
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: I wish I mean, this is why we vote, isn't it.

198
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: But I was gonna say, like, I wish we had

199
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 2: more say of where our money went to, like what

200
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: sort of things. More Like I would love to see

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: more money get injected into the you know, nursing and

202
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: things like that. Because when I a couple of weeks

203
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: ago at The Cat's premiere, Sky wasn't feeling very well

204
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: and we had to leave the premiere to go to

205
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: the emergency room and we're in there for hours an

206
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: hour and hours. And obviously don't want to say too

207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: much because's not my business to tell, but it was

208
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: something to do with his heart, and I was like,

209
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: is there? No? Is then? Is there? Why are we

210
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: not a little more worried about this issue? I thought

211
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: that you know, something something wrong with your heart, like

212
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: would cause a little bit more haste, right, and I

213
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: could tell that, like they're underpaid and overworked and there's

214
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: not enough staff on and blah blah blah, and it's

215
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: not their fault at all. Like I was angry at

216
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: the system as a whole, And obviously I wasn't angry

217
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: at any of the nurses or the doctors in there,

218
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: but I just I think because when I've gone, you know,

219
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: when I had my gall bladder and blah blah, Sorry

220
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: to bring it up again, always going on about it,

221
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: but you know I was in there for like nine hours.

222
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: When I had kidney stones. I was in there for

223
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: thirteen hours before I actually saw a doctor. And when

224
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: you're in pain and sitting there, like you don't want

225
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: to cause a fuss, Like I was sitting there, going

226
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, Like I'm happy to

227
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: sit there because you know there are other people who

228
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: are experiencing whatever they're experiencing, like I don't want to

229
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: cause a fuss. It's okay. But I remember back then,

230
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: Sky was like, you know, do you want me to

231
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: get a nurse? Do you want me to get am

232
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: I about it? I don't worry about it. Love. It

233
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: was the complete office at this time around, Like him

234
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: being in pain made me be like can we get

235
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: our act together in me and like you know, like

236
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: again like not her fault, it's the system's fault. But

237
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: the nurse was like, I'll do a little test on

238
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: you before I go home. Well, she up and left

239
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: and we found out half an hour later that she'd

240
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: gone home for the night and she hadn't done it.

241
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: Now again like I'm not angry at her, but I'm

242
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: just like if she had more support, if they had

243
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: more staff on blah blah blah. I mean it was

244
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: a Friday night as well, I felt like we could

245
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: maybe have a few more stuff on. So that for

246
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: me is I'm like I want to see my part

247
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: of money go to things that I care about, you know,

248
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: the thing that.

249
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: I don't understand.

250
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: Maybe we need to get a nurse on the pod

251
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: at some point. But like they're always saying like how

252
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: understaffed the nurses are, right, But I swear like half

253
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: the people that you go to school with were going to.

254
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: UNI to become a nurse, do you know what I mean?

255
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Like I feel like it was a really like people

256
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: would going to you need to become nurses and teachers

257
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: like they were the two things that all your school

258
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: friends were going to do. Yeah, and like so many

259
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: people go to UNI to become a nurse.

260
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: But then like.

261
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: They say that they're understaff but I swear there's so

262
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: many fucking nurses out there. I are they not giving

263
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: them the shifts on purpose? Like are they understaffing on purpose?

264
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: Well, I, like, I obviously have not a clue and

265
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: I'm only hypothesizing here, but I would think that, yes,

266
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: I agree with you that when we were in school

267
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: ten plus years ago that was the case. I cannot

268
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: imagine that today people are leaving and like and are

269
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: that as passionate about it. I think, like maybe potentially,

270
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 2: and again I'm just making this up at the top

271
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: of my head, but like maybe potentially people who weren't

272
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: passionate about nursing would be a nurse because it's a good,

273
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: stable career and I think that's a good thing to do. Whereas,

274
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: like now, I feel like, unless you're really passionate about nursing,

275
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: maybe you don't do it because think about how expensive

276
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: it is to live and if it's an underpaid job

277
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: on or you know, a job where you there's there's

278
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: not really much further that you can go, which, again

279
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: I don't know much about the industry, but this is

280
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: just what I've what I've heard and what I've consumed

281
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: is that there's not really many you can't get many

282
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: pay rises, blah blah blah, So like, what are you

283
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: working towards? How much money are you going to make? Eventually?

284
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: Like I feel like maybe these people if I was

285
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: in that position right now, if I was leaving school today,

286
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: I would look at nursing and I would go, well,

287
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: is that If I was passionate about it, I'd be like,

288
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: this is what I want to do because I want

289
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: to help people and I'm passionate about it. So I

290
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: totally understand that. But if you're not that passionate about it,

291
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: what's enticing about it? Because it can't be the money, surely.

292
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: But that's just my opinion. I hope I don't upset

293
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: anyone with that, but yeah, that's just how I look

294
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: at it.

295
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so true.

296
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: This is turning into a career advice episode today with close.

00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: shopping center, Like they take one look at me and

315
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: they don't even bother asking like he's not going to

316
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: want to join the army or play paintball, so we

317
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: won't bother. But yeah, career expo dates and I remember

318
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: my career advisor, Missus Giles was her name, shout out.

319
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Mine was mister stanker Win what yeah, something like that Stankovich.

320
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Oh, Missus Giles. She was always she could see my

321
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: potential and she always wanted me to She was always

322
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: trying to find a career because I was like, I

323
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: was someone who in high school, I didn't have any

324
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: idea what I wanted to do, which meant that I

325
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: didn't work very hard or care about good grades because

326
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, back in the day, it

327
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: was like, you need to know which score you want

328
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: in high school so that that can get you into UNI.

329
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know what I wanted to do, so why

330
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: would I bother trying to get a good score and

331
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: also everything else going on at the time, et cetera.

332
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: So she was trying to find me a career, and

333
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: then it wasn't her. It was me. Came up with

334
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: being a speech pathologist for two seconds, and then I

335
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: gave up that dream because I realized that no matter

336
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: how hard I worked, I wouldn't get the score that

337
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: I needed to get into And thank god I didn't

338
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: become a speech pathologist. How different my life.

339
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: Can you imagine?

340
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: If, like I always think about that, I don't know

341
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: what it's called, if it's some sort of effect, but effect,

342
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: the butterfly effect, like just making one decision and your

343
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: life going in a complete opposite direction. I remember when

344
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: I was in year ten, I so desperately wanted to

345
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: leave school, like I just didn't like being there. I

346
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: wanted to go out and make money and be independent.

347
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: And I went and did two hairdressing trials at two

348
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: different hairdressers in Newcastle because I wanted to be an

349
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: apprentice hairdresser and I didn't get either of them, and

350
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: I was really upset.

351
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: Don't you just have to like sweep the floor?

352
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one of them want a job love.

353
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: One of the trials that I did, I don't know

354
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: if it was half a week or a full week,

355
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: but I was there for like days and days and

356
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: days doing this trial and all I did was sweep

357
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the floor and make coffees, Like I didn't even get

358
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: to do one like hairdressing task and I didn't get

359
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: At the end, they gave me a pack of shampoo

360
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: and conditioner. And I think this was in years ten,

361
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: so this is like so long ago, So maybe it's

362
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: different now when they do an apprenticeship trial. But I

363
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: worked for days.

364
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: And got a pack at a shampoo and conditioner at

365
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 4: the end.

366
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: But I just always think, you know, I was so

367
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: devastated when I didn't get those two hairdressing apprenticeships. But

368
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe that was a universe saying like, this isn't the

369
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: path that you're meant to go on?

370
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: Because imagine if I had gotten one.

371
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: Of them, I probably would have been a famous hairdresser

372
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: on TikTok.

373
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: Now I've been charging two grand for a perm love

374
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah.

375
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

376
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: I would have been what's her name that circles lady Charlene.

377
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: Charlene, Yeah, that would mean Darlene Ne Da Cray.

378
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: Surely I would have still done the social media thing,

379
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: but in the hairdressing world.

380
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 4: But I always think about that.

381
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't become a speech pathologist. Can you

382
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: imagine my life if I was sitting being a speech

383
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: pathologist wondering what if? What if? Anyway, big love to

384
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: all our nurses out there, Thank you for your service,

385
