WEBVTT - We're Baaaaaaaack

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Chase and Lauren on Over one hundred.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Should we take a look back at what's unfolded over

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of months.

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 3>We a lot is unfolded.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Very proudly have a new home here at Nova one hundred.

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I'm so pumped not just to be here

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 3>at nover, but that we've got the band back together. Clinton,

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know where you've been hiding, but I've been around.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I've been around, Lauren. If you've got to charge his phone.

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 3>It took a bit of arm twisting, but we gotcha.

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>There was no way we weren't going to all do

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>this unless we're all in. Yeah, you know what I mean.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 2>It was it was all in or not. What just

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>feels right?

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think after after a pretty testing few

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 3>months for all of us, this is a really happy

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 3>ending but also really happy beginning for a new start

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 3>for us.

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 2>For people that have come over to Nova from where

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>we used to work, thank you and welcome. For people who.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry that we don't really know how to use

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>anything here does. It's a bit like we're on work experience.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's very much like where we used to be. Basically,

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>for people who are normal and over listeners and if

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you aren't aware of what's happened is we used to

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.199
<v Speaker 2>do a breakfast show on another radio station and last

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 2>year we got the boot because they were bringing in

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Kyle and Jackie O from Sydney and we're going a

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>network of show in yep. And it sucked, to be honest.

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>We'd worked together for a couple of years. We were

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 2>having so much fun. The show was, you know, really

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 2>starting to gain some momentum. The team was amazing, and

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>then we just had the rug pulled out from under us.

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we felt like we we I mean, there's no

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>nice way to put the fact that we got fired,

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 3>but we felt like we felt like we were just

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 3>getting started at that moment when I think when the

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 3>rumors started swirling that maybe there was going to be

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 3>a changing of the guard over there, and we were like, no.

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Surely not.

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 2>And also, you know what, we're not naive this industry.

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.559
<v Speaker 2>It's the entertainment industry. You know, people lose their gigs

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>all the time.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 3>It was unsettling, right, I think because we weren't spoke

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 3>into about it. It was like well being spoken about,

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>but none spoken to about it. So we were all

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>a bit like, no, Well, really, my issue.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Was not that it was happening, it was how it

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>was handled, and not just for us, but everyone that

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 2>worked on the show, everyone that worked at that station.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 2>And I think the real sting was that we're being

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>replaced by a show that working from Sydney.

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>So I want to get your opinion on this because

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Laura and I are fairly new to this caper, right

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to this radio caper. We've been in the industry for

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a long time in station. Now, well that's a sign

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of experience, huh. But how did it impact you, Jays,

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>because you've you've been here, done that for many years.

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>It was pretty personal for me on a number of scales.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I had good friends that were working behind the scenes

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 2>in my management. I knew people at the old radio

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>station who were quite high up. And yes, it was

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was pretty personal and that cuts and

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>it's yeah it did. It was a really shit feeling

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>last year. Yeah, it really was.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 3>I think I think I saw you in those last

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 3>few weeks change your your spirit changed.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't anger, no, it was just I was I

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>was just bloody gutted. Again, I'm not knowingive that's the

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>industry you know, people lose their gigs and move on

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, but it was just do you know.

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 3>What, it was more personal for you than I think.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Clinton and I were just looking at each other like, yeah,

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 3>we're just on this crazy role.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>That's where Jace went into protection mode and he and

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>credit to you, mate, because you really looked out for

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Lauren and I are given we'd never experienced anything like

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>this ever before. And I guess thank you for that, Jason,

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>because it was a really really sort of beautiful time

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and it sort of helped us get where we are

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>right now.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, you held our hand through a lot of

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 3>that when we were like, I mean, we we come

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 3>from a TV background where we've heard TV was brutal,

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 3>but brutal.

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>In three would always joke those swipe cards wouldn't work.

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>They didn't, but it was.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 3>It was tough for all of us. I think you've

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 3>got your dad of three with kids that you're trying

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 3>to work out what school they're going to, trying to

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 3>work out you know, your family is in Brisbane where

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>you were going.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 2>To live, but it wasn't. And this was what I've said.

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Clinton just bought his first home, like he just paid

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>a deposit on his first house two weeks before we

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 3>lost our jobs.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 2>But it wasn't and you just bought the latest Louis,

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>that's not funny. But it wasn't just us. It was

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>team members had just sign rental agreements, you know, you know,

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 2>upgraded cars and stuff. It was a really hard time.

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, I've got to say the

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>support that we have felt since we got shafted has

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>been overwhelming and just overwhelming. Everyone has been so bloody

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 2>nice in this city. I've had random people coming up

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>to us at the shops. Yeah, a lady the other

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>day grabbed me and bent. It was like I was

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>dying and she goes, good luck, you know for Friday.

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>We're all rooting for you.

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 3>So nice.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Can I say, though, that is Melbourne at its best. Yeah,

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what Melbourne has always done really well. And having

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>lived here all my life, like you, Luren, that screams

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>this great city right.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think to us, this is a job.

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 3>We lost our jobs, but for the first time I

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 3>realized how many people lost their routine in the morning

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 3>as well in this city that listens to us. And

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 3>we're so grateful for those listeners who showed us support

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 3>in a time where we felt like I think we

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 3>all probably hit bottom for a couple of days there,

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 3>where we didn't know what we were going to do

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 3>with our lives, where we're going to be, would we

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 3>have jobs next year, we'll be able to pay our mortgage, which,

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 3>by the way, we're not the first and we won't

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 3>be the last people to experience that, not in this industry.

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 3>But there's a lot of people who have ridden that

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 3>wave of losing their jobs recently in the current climate,

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 3>and I think the power of having people to support

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 3>you and to remind you that just keep pushing, just

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 3>keep going, you'll get there was really boring for all

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 3>of us. And so for those listeners who have come

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 3>over to NOVA to listen to us now, we're so thankful.

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 3>We're so grateful, And for the audience at NOV who

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 3>are already no the listeners, we're really grateful that you're

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 3>still listening this morning too, and hopefully you stick with

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 3>us for a while, because I'm really excited by this.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I've got a real appreciation for this now, which I

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think I had going back a few months ago. Yeah,

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and I've always valued and loved the listener obviously, But

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>now I value and love the job so much more.

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 2>It's great. This is the best job in the world.

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that we get to do it with mates,

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, Like, remember, that's what I was saying to

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>you guys at the end of last year. And that's

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>what hurts so much, is because I've been doing this

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>industry for twenty seven years, and I'd always say to

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 2>you lost, like, it is so rare to get a

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 2>show where the hosts are absolute great mates and have

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 2>each other's back is just so rare, and we have that,

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and that's why it so much at the end of

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>last year. But to be able to go into this year,

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Aga and we're going a new home. Yeah, here we go.

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>We're not going anywhere. I said to the management here

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>old I on this station. I hate moving no more.

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not great with changed either, to be honest, So

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 3>hopefully they stick with us for a while.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I was so scared to walk into you this morning.

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a kid at primary school, Lauren. How

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>long until you're here? And then you were running late

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, jays, where are you walk.

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Me inating problems? This to be there, I wasn't running late.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I got stuck in the car park because my car

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 3>is too high for the car park here. I hate

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 3>the roof and I've just left the car.

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Then.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what?

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a distinct lack of masking tape in this studio.

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Really, studio is lovely, isn't it.

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>How's this right over over the time when when over

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 2>rang and you know that you want to play it cool?

0:07:53.240 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I was going through the GYG drive through what's and

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I through.

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 3>They do I've never seen a drive through because it's

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 3>not a drive through near me.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 2>No in the verbs, and I had over management on

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the phone. I'm like, oh well, let me think about it.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 2>And I hung up and I came up to the

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 2>window and the lady goes, bloody, hell, I miss you

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Lauren and Clint. You should come work here. No, no,

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>no disrespect the people g YG. When I got off

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>at a job manning the drive through, I picked up

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 2>that phone and rang over back very quickly and said

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>we are in.

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 3>They wouldn't have you on drive through you'd eat more

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 3>than yourself. It was fired straight away.

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I think they were thinking me with the radio voice

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 2>using the speaker, Oh that's very strong.

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>They please drive through a good Stuff discount.

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 2>There as well.

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Do they where did you work?

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>You should rethink it. Maybe I shouldn't have called an overback.
