<v Speaker 1>the last couple of days start to really look at

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>your life and the one thing about everything that's going

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 1>on around us all over the world and here in

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Australia makes you start to think about re evaluate everything.

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:16.799
<v Speaker 1>The stuff that brings the joy, the stuff that you

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>thought brings you jo a bit doesn't anyway. This week

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.959
<v Speaker 1>it's maybe you think over the weekend, what will I

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 1>never ever take for granted again? Because we will get

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>through this, this will pass. I don't know what it's

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be like when we re emerge out of it,

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>but it will. And what will you never ever take

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>for granted again? I started to find a I sorta

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>al must make a list over the weekend The christ

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Jian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast. So many things have been

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>taken away that have been permanent, we take for granted

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that almost come an ordeal, and now they're not there.

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>We can't get them so easily or at all. It

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>just changes your appreciation of them and you really you

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>feel their absence. For me, I'm someone that I'm not

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>really a fan of shaking hands with mates. I know

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>some of moment and male friends don't like hugging. But

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely love hugging my mates and I don't care

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>if some of them feel very awkward around it, but

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I love doing that moment.

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>You are a hugger.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I am a hugger. I know sometimes you stand. They're

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>not knowing You're still in that. You're at that age

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of life. You'll get their mate, You'll get there one day.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You're not there yet. You're on the edge. You're almost

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>entering in the puberty of hugging. I see it in

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>your eyes. You want to break out the shell, but

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you're still You're still in there.

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm learning from the best.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I missed. I miss the hugs. I really really miss

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>the hugs. Twenty one thing as well, in all serious

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that I'm really not going to take for granted again

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>is the people that we don't even see sometimes, and

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>that ow is the people that work in supermarkets, Bunnings, coals,

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, warlworst that stack the shelves, that are written

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>off and maligned as unskilled or low labor. How we

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>ever could even classify a group of people that are

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>really essential. You know, we talk about what is essential,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>what isn't essential. Those people are essential doing those jobs.

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>We didn't realize how much we actually need them. They

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>are essential. So I'm never going to take them for granted.

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not just going to see through them or

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>as a silhouette or I am like a ghost that

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter to me. I'm always going to acknowledge them.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I really hope. I don't going to promise myself. I'm

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>going to do that.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>And you'll start You'll start hugging them when we're allowed

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>to touch again. People.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I know, Okay, I'm not one of those these guys, Jack,

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.959
<v Speaker 1>What are you never going to take for grunted together?

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Just the simple act of going out to see your friends.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I can I can be guilty of at the end

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of a long week someone trying to organize if your

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>friends to catch up and you go can't, can't be

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>bothered tonight, or like I'm just going to make up

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:35.279
<v Speaker 2>an excuse.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>That past tonight. Patsy knows what that's like. Yeah. Still,

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>we tried to do.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't realize until it's gone, but we tried to

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 2>do virtual drinks on Saturday afternoon with all my buddies.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>So we had sixteen people on a zoom conference video

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>conference and it just is not the same people talking

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:59.839
<v Speaker 2>over each other. It's like a breakfast, sure, but it's

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>you got to imagine sixteen voices. You try to direct

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 2>a question to one person, they don't hear. There's another

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>side conversation going on. And then the worst part is

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>there's long awkward silences because everybody gets scared to talk

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>over each other. So at one, one or two points

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>during the drinks, we're just sixteen people looking at each other.

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>From the street. How strange, how strange, these are the

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>things we're trying to do at the moment. Patsy, what's

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it for you? What are you never going to take

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>for granted?

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, the biggest thing for me is just human touch,

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 3>just you know, I love cut a little girl and

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 3>getting as.

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>You're breaking up there, Yeah, yeah, you have to tell

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Chris again to get offline. I thought we spoke about

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>red hot DUTs. Oh no, he's going for session.

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Chris is missing that human touch as well.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 4>I need at.

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 3>It's the human touch for me because you know, a

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 3>touchy feely person, aren't I Like I have to hold

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 3>your arm if I'm talking to you. I'm a bit

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>annoying like that.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>The other thing for me is freedom of movement, like

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 3>going wherever you want, whenever you want, just getting in

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 3>the car and going and being. And the other thing

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>is for me my job. We're so lucky that we're

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 3>seen as in essential service and that weekend.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Every day, my kids are worried of the weekend. I

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 1>mean they always are constantly. If your dad was me,

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd be worried about surely some day is going to

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>get fired. And they were like, are you going to

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 1>be okay? I said, I'm really lucky. I hope so,

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I said, I really hope so, And I'm

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>very lucky just by the job that we have, what

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we do here. We're lucky anyway getting to come and

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>do this, and I've appreciated it even more because of

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>there's not a lot of laughter sometimes during the day

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in our lives right now because it's terrifying. It is

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>actually scary. It's like it's like at the moment, you

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.239
<v Speaker 1>know the bit in Toy Story three where they're moving

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the conveyor belts kind of moving, you wonder, what are

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>we moving to something which is even worse and we

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>nowhere near the worst of it. I don't know, and

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>so when we have this hopefully where you know, when

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>we hang out together and we laugh together, Oh my god,

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm so lucky that this is actually what I get

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to do for a living. So yeah, I really appreciate

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 1>this job. All right, let's go, Let's take some call now,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>know four one four one O four three Charlie, good morning.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Hey, how are christ And it's Charlie from Black Rocket.

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>You going, oh good Charlie. And what are you never

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 1>going to take for granted again?

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Look, I'm actually for everything you guys were just saying.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 4>A second. Ay, I'm a physio in private practice, and

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 4>the one thing that I can't do now is actually

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 4>see my patients. You know, within that one and a

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.359
<v Speaker 4>half meters, I can't touch them as I normally would

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 4>do is as a treading therapist. And if you take

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 4>that for granted, every time you go to work, it's

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 4>just a patient comes in, You're helping them with the pain.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Now I'm doing some telehealth stuff where I'm giving them

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 4>advice doing all the things online. But it's just not

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 4>the same. And you know, every day I went to

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 4>work for the last thirty six thirty seven years, you

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 4>sort of do take that for granted, And I can

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 4>tell you when this all changes and I go back there,

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 4>it'll be, you know, very much a different environment for me.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant. What an amazing thing to get from it, though.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh look, it's just one of those things that you know,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 4>we've got a big practice bayside, you're part of the world,

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 4>and it's just one of those things we sit back

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 4>and we go, you know, maybe we should be thinking

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 4>about things a little differently now.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you wonder whether we're going to when we do

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>come out of this, whether it is actually hopefully going

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to be something better and different and we put some

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>different things in place. You wonder whether we're all collectively

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>feeding this globally, aren't we And we've never done that

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>ever before. What a chance to actually make some changes

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to something different. You have to hope that maybe what

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>remains is better.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh look, I agree one hundred percent. You know, we've

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 4>got people coming the door now, and you can see

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 4>the fear on their faces, and I'd like to see

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 4>that less. You know, they're always fearful of pain, Now

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 4>they're fearful of other things. And it's a scary thought,

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 4>scary time we're living through. But yeah, I agree with you.

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 4>We're going to get through this. We're all going to

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 4>be better people for it because we've learned to get

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 4>along again, I think, and we're just doing things differently

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 4>and hopefully over the time we'll just stay better.

0:06:59.120 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 4>I think we don't want to go back to old habits.

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 4>That's that's probably the bigger issue that I find is that,

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, we resort back to old habits.

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Very clear, Charlie, Well, sir, thank you very much. You

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>cool mate, have a good week, stay.

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Safe and you too. Thanks guys.
