7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,640

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: with the I don't want to call it magic. Whatever

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 2: it is that we have together, it ain't magic. Whatever

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: it is that we have together, would it still be there?

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 2: But I'm very, very lucky that whatever he has still

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: hopefully working with Jack and Coburg and Pats. I didn't

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,600

Speaker 2: that the weekend when he did the right thing and

32
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 2: rung the hotline to say that he was having symptoms

33
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: and the rest they got him tested and did the

34
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: right thing, and the emergency services here and the healthcare

35
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: people and the care workers are doing an amazing job

36
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: right now. So if you work in those industries, thank

00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: you very much for all the work that you're doing

38
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: as well. But because we've been talking about us and

39
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: what's been going on with us overloa half an hour,

40
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: I really want to know how you guys are doing.

41
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: So it's just a question right now. I've just checking

42
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: in to see how are you actually doing. It's Wednesday.

43
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: We've had this for a couple of days now, Who

44
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: is doing okay? And what are you doing to keep

45
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: okay and to look after yourself? Who is struggling at

46
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: the moment, maybe trying to have zoom meetings conference calls

47
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: from home. I had a first experience of what some

48
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: of you be going through yesterday. We are to have

49
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: a way too long, way too long conference call, obviously

50
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: just checking for safety. That was okay for us to

51
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: come back into the station. Who would be coming in,

52
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: Jack would be at home, Patsy be at home, I'd

53
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: be here. Who'll be here with me? I mustn't have

54
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: any contact with them? And I haven't. And so but

55
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: that conference call with Gav and Huggy bosses, ohs, how

56
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: did it go on for?

57
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: Well, it took fifteen minutes just to get started.

58
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Everybody going out? How do I turn the camera on?

59
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: You guys?

60
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Hearing me? Am I hearing you?

61
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: And also right, I know that two senior management members

62
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: muted their microphones so they could go and get the

63
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: oven man turned up for our boss Sue during that call,

64
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: and she had to mute it again because her cat

65
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: was about to jump over the wall. And I don't

66
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: know if you heard at one point you could hear

67
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 2: some yelling, and I wondered who she was yelling at,

68
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: and I rang her afterwards that what was the yelling

69
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: at your rangement? Now the cat was trying to escape?

70
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: This is what people be doing. Where they trying and

71
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: conduct business from home with zoom where they got all

72
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: the home distractions were not set up at the moment.

73
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: Are we to have these home offices? How are you

74
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040

Speaker 2: what's going on right now has not been able to

91
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,120

00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: in patient people coming through is disgusting. We are run

Speaker 2: trying to do the best you can in the same

111
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: situation we're all in. There is no excuse to be

112
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: rude to anyone or short with them, you know. I mean,

113
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: it must be a really stressful environment to be working

114
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: in at times, Luke, it really is. And I'm sorry

115
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: you're really strug at the moment. Thanks for sharing with us, mate.

116
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: There's a struggle to part with people being rude. We

117
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: are trying. We are definitely trying one hundred percent and

118
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: trying not to have a breakdown is impossible. We're worth

119
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: could any retail worker. We are trying our best.

120
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really are, mate, And what are you doing

121
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: to get some support because you guys are out in

122
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: the front line.

123
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: You know, we just lean on each other at work.

124
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: We get together and support each other.

125
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: You know, because I think as much as we've got

126
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: to be very very cautious and smartly cautious about the

127
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: danger from coronavirus, the danger that our mental health with

128
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: all the fear and paranoria and anxiety and you know

129
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: what you're going through Luke as well. We need to.

130
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: There's a kind of two pandemics, isn't there. There's the

131
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: one from coronavirus, But there's the one from the anxiety

132
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: and the stress that this is causing.

133
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: All of us. There certainly is. And I don't know

134
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: how people can go home and feel good about themselves

135
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: making others feel like rubbish and sending them home in

136
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: tears or making me feel as little as anything. Like

137
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: I understand people are losing their jobs and all that,

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: but that's no excuse to come in and be rude

139
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: or think that you're you're you're the one that should

140
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: be served first. There is lines, there is self distancing

141
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: but in place, and you've got people that won't respect that. Like,

142
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: if you're not going to respect that, we won't serve

143
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: you then.

144
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: And I'm guessing, Luke, that you aren't the only one

145
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: that be feeling this.

146
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: No, the whole team is like the whole team. I

147
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: just don't get what people don't understand about respecting the team,

148
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Like we're there to help you. If you're not going

149
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: to support us and respect us, don't expect service.

150
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only way, the only way we're going to

151
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: get through this Luke is by being kind to ourselves

152
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: and each other. That is the only way we're going

153
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: to be able to get through.

154
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: This one hundred percent. Stick together like we've never been

155
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: through this, No one's been through this. We're all. This

156
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: is a learning kit for us all.

157
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: And so are you back at work today or have

158
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: you just finished what's that?

159
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm just a bit the start work, but we're all

160
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: working over time and putting ourselves at risk to help

161
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,000

162
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Louke, I really appreciate the courage and bravior

163
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: that you've show and given us a call this morning.

164
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: And you know there are a lot of people listening

165
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: to this show. Maybe we've all feeling guilty over the

166
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: last couple of days of being short with someone and

167
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: just in that moment, trying to get what we think

168
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: we need urgently to get through this, and maybe your words.

169
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: You never know who might be listening right now, but

170
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: I bet everyone who is listening has thought about this

171
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: in a very very different way. And you know, just

172
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: your struggles and speaking for people in different industries who

173
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: were meeting members of the public who are stressed and

174
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: getting a bit angry and short with you just how

175
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: imporn is to just take a breath and just remind

176
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: us that everyone is just trying to do the best

177
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: at the moment to getting through these extraordinary.

178
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Days, a hundred of us. And then you get your

179
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,440

184
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,440
