1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Chase and Lauren on Over one hundred.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: Should we take a look back at what's unfolded over

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: the last couple of months.

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 3: We a lot is unfolded.

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: Very proudly have a new home here at Nova one hundred.

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm so pumped not just to be here

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: at nover, but that we've got the band back together. Clinton,

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: I don't know where you've been hiding, but I've been around.

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: I've been around, Lauren. If you've got to charge his phone.

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: It took a bit of arm twisting, but we gotcha.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: There was no way we weren't going to all do

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: this unless we're all in. Yeah, you know what I mean.

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: It was it was all in or not. What just

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: feels right?

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think after after a pretty testing few

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: months for all of us, this is a really happy

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: ending but also really happy beginning for a new start

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 3: for us.

19
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: For people that have come over to Nova from where

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: we used to work, thank you and welcome. For people who.

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that we don't really know how to use

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: anything here does. It's a bit like we're on work experience.

23
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: So it's very much like where we used to be. Basically,

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: for people who are normal and over listeners and if

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: you aren't aware of what's happened is we used to

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: do a breakfast show on another radio station and last

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: year we got the boot because they were bringing in

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Kyle and Jackie O from Sydney and we're going a

29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: network of show in yep. And it sucked, to be honest.

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: We'd worked together for a couple of years. We were

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: having so much fun. The show was, you know, really

32
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: starting to gain some momentum. The team was amazing, and

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: then we just had the rug pulled out from under us.

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we felt like we we I mean, there's no

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: nice way to put the fact that we got fired,

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: but we felt like we felt like we were just

37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: getting started at that moment when I think when the

38
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: rumors started swirling that maybe there was going to be

39
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: a changing of the guard over there, and we were like, no.

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Surely not.

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: And also, you know what, we're not naive this industry.

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: It's the entertainment industry. You know, people lose their gigs

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: all the time.

44
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: It was unsettling, right, I think because we weren't spoke

45
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: into about it. It was like well being spoken about,

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: but none spoken to about it. So we were all

47
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: a bit like, no, Well, really, my issue.

48
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: Was not that it was happening, it was how it

49
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: was handled, and not just for us, but everyone that

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: worked on the show, everyone that worked at that station.

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: And I think the real sting was that we're being

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: replaced by a show that working from Sydney.

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: So I want to get your opinion on this because

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Laura and I are fairly new to this caper, right

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: to this radio caper. We've been in the industry for

56
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: a long time in station. Now, well that's a sign

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: of experience, huh. But how did it impact you, Jays,

58
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: because you've you've been here, done that for many years.

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: It was pretty personal for me on a number of scales.

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: I had good friends that were working behind the scenes

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: in my management. I knew people at the old radio

62
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: station who were quite high up. And yes, it was

63
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: it was. It was pretty personal and that cuts and

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: it's yeah it did. It was a really shit feeling

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: last year. Yeah, it really was.

66
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: I think I think I saw you in those last

67
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: few weeks change your your spirit changed.

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't anger, no, it was just I was I

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: was just bloody gutted. Again, I'm not knowingive that's the

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: industry you know, people lose their gigs and move on

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: and stuff, but it was just do you know.

72
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: What, it was more personal for you than I think.

73
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: Clinton and I were just looking at each other like, yeah,

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: we're just on this crazy role.

75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: That's where Jace went into protection mode and he and

76
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: credit to you, mate, because you really looked out for

77
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Lauren and I are given we'd never experienced anything like

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: this ever before. And I guess thank you for that, Jason,

79
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: because it was a really really sort of beautiful time

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: and it sort of helped us get where we are

81
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: right now.

82
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you held our hand through a lot of

83
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: that when we were like, I mean, we we come

84
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: from a TV background where we've heard TV was brutal,

85
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: but brutal.

86
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: In three would always joke those swipe cards wouldn't work.

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: They didn't, but it was.

88
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: It was tough for all of us. I think you've

89
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: got your dad of three with kids that you're trying

90
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: to work out what school they're going to, trying to

91
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: work out you know, your family is in Brisbane where

92
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: you were going.

93
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: To live, but it wasn't. And this was what I've said.

94
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: Clinton just bought his first home, like he just paid

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: a deposit on his first house two weeks before we

96
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: lost our jobs.

97
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: But it wasn't and you just bought the latest Louis,

98
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: that's not funny. But it wasn't just us. It was

99
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: team members had just sign rental agreements, you know, you know,

100
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: upgraded cars and stuff. It was a really hard time.

101
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I've got to say the

102
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: support that we have felt since we got shafted has

103
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: been overwhelming and just overwhelming. Everyone has been so bloody

104
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: nice in this city. I've had random people coming up

105
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: to us at the shops. Yeah, a lady the other

106
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: day grabbed me and bent. It was like I was

107
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: dying and she goes, good luck, you know for Friday.

108
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: We're all rooting for you.

109
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: So nice.

110
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: Can I say, though, that is Melbourne at its best. Yeah,

111
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that's what Melbourne has always done really well. And having

112
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: lived here all my life, like you, Luren, that screams

113
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: this great city right.

114
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think to us, this is a job.

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: We lost our jobs, but for the first time I

116
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: realized how many people lost their routine in the morning

117
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: as well in this city that listens to us. And

118
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: we're so grateful for those listeners who showed us support

119
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: in a time where we felt like I think we

120
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: all probably hit bottom for a couple of days there,

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: where we didn't know what we were going to do

122
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: with our lives, where we're going to be, would we

123
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: have jobs next year, we'll be able to pay our mortgage, which,

124
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: by the way, we're not the first and we won't

125
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: be the last people to experience that, not in this industry.

126
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of people who have ridden that

127
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: wave of losing their jobs recently in the current climate,

128
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: and I think the power of having people to support

129
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: you and to remind you that just keep pushing, just

130
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: keep going, you'll get there was really boring for all

131
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: of us. And so for those listeners who have come

132
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: over to NOVA to listen to us now, we're so thankful.

133
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: We're so grateful, And for the audience at NOV who

134
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: are already no the listeners, we're really grateful that you're

135
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: still listening this morning too, and hopefully you stick with

136
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: us for a while, because I'm really excited by this.

137
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: I've got a real appreciation for this now, which I

138
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: don't think I had going back a few months ago. Yeah,

139
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: and I've always valued and loved the listener obviously, But

140
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: now I value and love the job so much more.

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: It's great. This is the best job in the world.

142
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: And the fact that we get to do it with mates,

143
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: you know, Like, remember, that's what I was saying to

144
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: you guys at the end of last year. And that's

145
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: what hurts so much, is because I've been doing this

146
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: industry for twenty seven years, and I'd always say to

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: you lost, like, it is so rare to get a

148
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: show where the hosts are absolute great mates and have

149
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: each other's back is just so rare, and we have that,

150
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: and that's why it so much at the end of

151
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: last year. But to be able to go into this year,

152
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: Aga and we're going a new home. Yeah, here we go.

153
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: We're not going anywhere. I said to the management here

154
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: old I on this station. I hate moving no more.

155
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm not great with changed either, to be honest, So

156
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: hopefully they stick with us for a while.

157
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: I was so scared to walk into you this morning.

158
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: It feels like a kid at primary school, Lauren. How

159
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: long until you're here? And then you were running late

160
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,720

162
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: I got stuck in the car park because my car

163
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: is too high for the car park here. I hate

164
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: the roof and I've just left the car.

165
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Then.

00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: Do you know what?

167
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: It's a distinct lack of masking tape in this studio.

168
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: Really, studio is lovely, isn't it.

169
