<v Speaker 1>The christ Joanna O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, so thank you very much. By the way,

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and to thanks for doing what we're doing. I really

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that today because last night I couldn't sleep him.

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I was really worried because we're all in different locations

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>with the I don't want to call it magic. Whatever

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it is that we have together, it ain't magic. Whatever

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>it is that we have together, would it still be there?

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 2>But I'm very, very lucky that whatever he has still

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 2>hopefully working with Jack and Coburg and Pats. I didn't

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>even know where Pats is, I mean trying to speak

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>to her down the line, but they're from here. Now

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>where have you been the beach? I just had to

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 2>do something for the news. Sorry. I was worried that

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the line of fallen over all some workman out of

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>where to put a shovel through the compound subli and

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and the backup generator, or there'd been a security breach

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>out of the David Koresh compound that you live in.

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 1>Ah No, I'm here all.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, guys, you're doing a great job. Well done, all right,

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>So what we're going to do now? They last off

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and I've been telling you what's been going on with

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 2>us for the last forty eight hours and why there

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>was no show yesterday and that won the gold team

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>had tested positive for coronavirus over the weekend. He is

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 2>doing very well. It's actually a lot better than today.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I've just heard from it sysn't a show and he's

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>doing very well, for a lot better than he did

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>that the weekend when he did the right thing and

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.839
<v Speaker 2>rung the hotline to say that he was having symptoms

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and the rest they got him tested and did the

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 2>right thing, and the emergency services here and the healthcare

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 2>people and the care workers are doing an amazing job

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 2>right now. So if you work in those industries, thank

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 2>you very much for all the work that you're doing

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>as well. But because we've been talking about us and

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 2>what's been going on with us overloa half an hour,

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I really want to know how you guys are doing.

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>So it's just a question right now. I've just checking

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>in to see how are you actually doing. It's Wednesday.

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>We've had this for a couple of days now, Who

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>is doing okay? And what are you doing to keep

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>okay and to look after yourself? Who is struggling at

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the moment, maybe trying to have zoom meetings conference calls

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>from home. I had a first experience of what some

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 2>of you be going through yesterday. We are to have

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a way too long, way too long conference call, obviously

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>just checking for safety. That was okay for us to

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>come back into the station. Who would be coming in,

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Jack would be at home, Patsy be at home, I'd

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>be here. Who'll be here with me? I mustn't have

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>any contact with them? And I haven't. And so but

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 2>that conference call with Gav and Huggy bosses, ohs, how

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 2>did it go on for?

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, it took fifteen minutes just to get started.

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Everybody going out? How do I turn the camera on?

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>You guys?

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Hearing me? Am I hearing you?

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 2>And also right, I know that two senior management members

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 2>muted their microphones so they could go and get the

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.679
<v Speaker 2>oven man turned up for our boss Sue during that call,

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and she had to mute it again because her cat

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>was about to jump over the wall. And I don't

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>know if you heard at one point you could hear

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.399
<v Speaker 2>some yelling, and I wondered who she was yelling at,

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and I rang her afterwards that what was the yelling

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>at your rangement? Now the cat was trying to escape?

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>This is what people be doing. Where they trying and

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>conduct business from home with zoom where they got all

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the home distractions were not set up at the moment.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Are we to have these home offices? How are you

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.040

<v Speaker 2>business category and like bare in Melbourne, so it's business

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>as usual for me. For me, the toughest part of

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 2>what's going on right now has not been able to

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.120

<v Speaker 2>trying to do the best you can in the same

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>situation we're all in. There is no excuse to be

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>rude to anyone or short with them, you know. I mean,

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>it must be a really stressful environment to be working

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>in at times, Luke, it really is. And I'm sorry

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 2>you're really strug at the moment. Thanks for sharing with us, mate.

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>There's a struggle to part with people being rude. We

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>are trying. We are definitely trying one hundred percent and

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>trying not to have a breakdown is impossible. We're worth

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 1>could any retail worker. We are trying our best.

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you really are, mate, And what are you doing

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to get some support because you guys are out in

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 2>the front line.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, we just lean on each other at work.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>We get together and support each other.

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, because I think as much as we've got

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 2>to be very very cautious and smartly cautious about the

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 2>danger from coronavirus, the danger that our mental health with

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>all the fear and paranoria and anxiety and you know

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>what you're going through Luke as well. We need to.

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a kind of two pandemics, isn't there. There's the

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 2>one from coronavirus, But there's the one from the anxiety

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>and the stress that this is causing.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>All of us. There certainly is. And I don't know

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>how people can go home and feel good about themselves

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>making others feel like rubbish and sending them home in

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>tears or making me feel as little as anything. Like

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 1>I understand people are losing their jobs and all that,

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>but that's no excuse to come in and be rude

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>or think that you're you're you're the one that should

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>be served first. There is lines, there is self distancing

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>but in place, and you've got people that won't respect that. Like,

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're not going to respect that, we won't serve

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you then.

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm guessing, Luke, that you aren't the only one

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 2>that be feeling this.

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>No, the whole team is like the whole team. I

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>just don't get what people don't understand about respecting the team,

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Like we're there to help you. If you're not going

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to support us and respect us, don't expect service.

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the only way, the only way we're going to

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 2>get through this Luke is by being kind to ourselves

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and each other. That is the only way we're going

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>to be able to get through.

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>This one hundred percent. Stick together like we've never been

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>through this, No one's been through this. We're all. This

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is a learning kit for us all.

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>And so are you back at work today or have

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 2>you just finished what's that?

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a bit the start work, but we're all

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>working over time and putting ourselves at risk to help

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the communities.

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, Louke, I really appreciate the courage and bravior

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>that you've show and given us a call this morning.

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know there are a lot of people listening

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 2>to this show. Maybe we've all feeling guilty over the

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>last couple of days of being short with someone and

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 2>just in that moment, trying to get what we think

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>we need urgently to get through this, and maybe your words.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 2>You never know who might be listening right now, but

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I bet everyone who is listening has thought about this

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>in a very very different way. And you know, just

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>your struggles and speaking for people in different industries who

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.480
