  Speaker 1: Wake up with a paying wake up and the club

  Speaker 2: So you you guys work amongst durance drivers.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, are they endurance athletes? Really? They are insurance drivers.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: We are not all equal. You Frankie live in Lone Hill.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it takes me about twenty minutes to get to work,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you know, to me.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Know you even less.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: I'm the closest because I'm in the wood Meat Calvin area.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: So how long do you take? That's twelve minutes, Cindy.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: When it's bright and early in the mornings and the
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: roads are clear, which is a majority of us, it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: not more than ten minutes.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, me as well.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I'm around Frankie, twenty five minutes max.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Even with traffic half an hour.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe there are people driving two hours, two and a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: half hours to get to work every single morning.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: And then you must remember, if you must go, you
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: must come back here. You don't stay at work. Are
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you spending hours essay on the road.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So if you're driving two hours to work, you're driving
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: two hours back home.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: That's so far. We have a few in our own
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: building and.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We decided to do a bit of a Netflix documentary
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: on them.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, there is one.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Who lives in Botch drives through from Potch through them
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty k is it is at one
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty hundred and eighty every single day, every day, every.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Day, every day. Why one way? But this is what
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: we want to find out today.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: To all of you people who are endurance drivers, who
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: are driving hours on end to get to work in
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the morning and then driving hours on end to get home.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Why why are you doing that to yourself?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I suppose there are lots of reasons. People prefer schools, communities,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: whatever the story is, you stay there.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But it's it's more common than you realize.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: For example, remember when we talk about the notorious the
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: road the bus crashes. A lot of those board traveling
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: from Bumlanga into Holding every day for work, and that's
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: like more than sixty kilometers if you're coming from Guamashangas
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: for example.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if look, if you're crossing the province boundary, that's far.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I know this is sometimes it's not long, but I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: think it's a little dramatic. I know people who live
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in List but they work like in Bloemfonteine like one
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty. But I just think a board, like
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: crossing a board into another country.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Call me here from.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, Ruth works here in Prime Media. Have listened to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: her story.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: I have to bring refreshments for the way on Pargo.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I stay in Balanga Mala.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: It's like.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: A hundred and just killers.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's like a two hour drive. What time
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: do you start working? Half past seven? What time do
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you typic it in?
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And five or six?
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: To be honest with you, it depends on the workload.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Of course. Let's not say there's a lot of missed
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: and I also have to like pack a little bag.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It's not easy, but she does it every day, believe this,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and she smiles every day.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Guys, I would be better twisted. You'd be the grampy colleague.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: No, I would just I would set up shop here
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: without you, guys knowing one of these random offices that
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: nobody ever goes into.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: You were just walking there one day and we would
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: look like a bank rum.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You'd be like, hey, why does this office have a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: side lamp.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And a fake plot? Oh? One one eight thirty eight
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: nine four seven.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It could be you, it could be somebody you work with.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: We want to know the story.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Who is traveling the furthest to get to work every
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: single day, and in the words of the great philosopher Frankie, why.

  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Anything over an hour?
• 4:10

• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Daniel used to drive to Platoya every day and she
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: worked the lad shift, so she knocked off for ten
