• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wake Up with a Bang, Hi, wake up La and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the Club on nine four seventh.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: You know we love you on the show. It doesn't
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: matter whether we agree with you or not.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: You must just know that we love you.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we all have different opinions about life and.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Things, and we love you even when you send voice
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: moots like this.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Can we please all decide on a day in time
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: for everyone to move their lawn, play their music, cupt
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: their trees, fix their cars. I work from home, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: every day it's someone else making a noise. I just
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: can't take it anymore.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Sis.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It's not our problem that you work at.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Home, Hi boo. No, Look, I mean I understand the
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: frustration because I work from home quite often and they
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: live next to a school.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Well the school, there's one thing, because they only have
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: break times at certain it's only two breaks a day, right.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: But the other afternoon, the kids were playing in the
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: complex and I was on a zoom call and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: want to do go and shout at the children who
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: were having fun and laughing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And then your senses came back to you and you
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: realize that that's what.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Kids do in a complex, they play.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You, mister, I'm working and I've got nine back to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: back meetings.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You are in the wrong place, not them.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you see. But this is what's interesting for
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: me because I feel like the world evolves.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: So, yes, it used to be we all go to
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the office and no one is at home, and then
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: during the day things can happen. But the world is
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: evolved now a lot of people are working from our home.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: We have kids evolved to play.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: No, the kids can play. But I'm saying when it
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: comes to mowing the lawn, maybe that maybe she has
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: a point, Maybe there is time for new rules.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Well, I know that some complexes and the states have
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: rules about when you can do things like mowing the lawn,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: and some have a band For example, I'm doing outdoor
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: work on a Sunday because you're disrupting the general piece. However,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: if there isn't a rule, I don't think you should
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: expect people to shush, stage, chill and lock them in
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: their apartments until the end of your work day. That's
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: unfair because this is also not a build a work complex,
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: do you know what I mean? It's not a commercial property.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: It's actually a city by law that you're not allowed
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: to do any kind of heavy machinery or make a
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: lot of noise on a Sunday and a public holiday,
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: those are the early two days. So you can't be
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: cutting trees. You can't even be using if your neighbors
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: really want to be strict, you can't even be using
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: a leaf blower or weed eater. What are those things
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: on a Sunday. It's actually against the law. They can
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: phone JMPD whether they come on our story for another day.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: But Frankie, no people. Kids. We're now encouraging kids to
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: go outside and play and get off their phones. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: if you're working from home, you're going to have to
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: sound proof your office.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Look the kids for me is one thing. But obviously,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: like she's talking about construction and all sort of things that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: My neighbor I have new neighbors and they're doing an
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: overhaul next door.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: They're basically building a new house.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And I try to work from home the other day
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and I realized, actually, I'm getting frustrated because I'm the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: one who's not supposed to be here. Let me go
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: find another place, like, let me go back to the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: office and work there, or put headphones on and carry
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: on with your life, darling, Because they are allowed to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: be during construction. They started eight and they end at
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: five at four every single day. Do you know what
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. I can't lose my marbles because they make
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: no noise and I'm on a zoom called get ma
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: FA's steward.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: But if we could change some of the rules, would
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: we No.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I would you guys must go work at the office.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Out of interest drength. What would you propose?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd propose like ten to two. So most people
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: have the majority of their meetings in the morning, first thing, right,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: team meetings, and then in the afternoons usually, so maybe
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: between ten and two we can do loud construction work
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at in the complex and then maybe around the other
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: times it's a little bit more.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: And how long do you see this building tragic taking
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: to complete if we're only working four hours a day?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: No, I mean there are other things that can do
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: at the building site which does not require so much loudness.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: Here's an idea, go sider Natasha's or a mugan bean
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: like everyone else.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So I am vehemently against people who work from home.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You'll know how I feel about that that you guys.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Are just not productive, like only five percent of you
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: literally can can can can can deliver whilst working from home.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: All you guys are doing is sitting in your pajamas.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You're not upset that people are making noise. You're upset
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that you can't hear your Netflix. Tell a mundo like
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: tell a novela you can't hear Eduardo, Professors, dang left Selina.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: I do love the ones that I tapped in Sudio
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: because I'm like, oh.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We're Doulani.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You like you look like Bruno, but now your name
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: is Chabulani. Oh one one eighty eight thirty eight nine
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: four seven?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Who side are you on? Here are you on?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Frankie in this lady's side? Listen to a voice note?
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Can we please all decide on a day in time
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: for everyone to move their lawn, play their music, clap
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: their trees, fix their cars. I work from home and
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: every day it's someone else making a noise. I just
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: can't take it anymore. It's ridiculous.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I know, man, I don't think it's ridiculous. I understand
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the frustration. I think a lot of people working from
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: home right now are going to tell you it's frustrating.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you should.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Not be working from home.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: And my thing with that is it's the price you
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: pay for your living situation. When I used to work
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: late nights and I needed, for example, to take a
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: nap during the day, I had to accept the fact
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: that during the school holidays I would hear the sound
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: of children running and playing, because that's what children do
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: during the school holidays. If I didn't like it, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: could move into another area where there were no children,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: or where it was a standalone house.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: And you have to be fifty to go to a retirement.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Are you sure they can't squeeze me? And you like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a starting?
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: There's one day by the well used to be still
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: the dome that I think they started fifty.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Oh discrimination los anything else?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Spot guys, they prepare them as for you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Oh one one eight thirty eight nine four seven. This
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: lady's having a meltdown about people mooring their loans, doing construction,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: kids playing, and she's working from home, and.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: She's just asking that can we just all.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Agree on a specific time where you guys are allowed
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to live your lives so that she can.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Work from home. Dunt, dunt, dun, what do you think?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Can we please all decide on a day in time
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: for everyone to move their lawn, play their music, cut
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: their trees, fix their cars. I work from home, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: every day it's someone else making a noise. I just
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: can't take it anymore.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So I have to agree with Aniela and Sindy.
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: Honest I'm so sorry for whoever is sitting at home
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: instead of being at work and is inconvenienced by the noise.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Is sham That must be so tough, are we?
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: No I feel that she is wrong because those people
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: cutting grass, doing construction work or.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Whatever, that's also their working hours.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: She must be with it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: Basically, you guys must go live in the movie The
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Quiet Place, because we can't make nos at ten o'clock
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: in the evening.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We can't make noise during the day. We can't make
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: nose on a Monday, on a Saturday, guys.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: Honestly, I almost frankly, I'm the kids, go play in
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: the park, have fun, enjoy your last but don't scream.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: There's no reason to scream outside my window when I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: on a zoom and I understand kids are going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: have fun, but I'm saying that the world has changed. Guys,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: our rules, we update rules as society changes. And I'm thinking,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking, and I think that's what she's proposing. Is
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the time we propose a rule change.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: No, No, absolutely not, because, like the voice notes said,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: those guys who are going alone, that's their job.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Those are their office hours. What do they do?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Well, they can come, we can all agree Mondays.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But they can't.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: They can't cut the grass from their houses. You can
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: work from home.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Look at that luxury go to your office.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: But we can we can agree that in this complex
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: we do all our gardening work on a Monday, for example.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Or if but let's say one complex has got one garden.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Service, yes, Mondays, and then I know.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're not going to get to all the houses
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: in one day.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, Monday and Tuesday. But then I know that Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I can schedule my meetings.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Mike, you and Ruderpert morning, Mike, how are you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: I'm good.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: And I think it's quite unsue expecting people not to
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: do their loans. I mean, this is danger area. It's
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: not an office park, it's not a commercial reasoning area.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: So if you are alone and you feel like you
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: need to mow your loan You're welcome to do it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: If it's your hobby that you blog believes during the day,
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: then you do it. Office. I mean there is reasoning
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: the zones that are created commercial industrial office parks, the
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: danger area. I think they're y for certain reason.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And also does SARS know that you that you are working, Yes,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I do because I'm climbing back from them for my
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: office space, my little room and my house.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Does your estate management know that you are using your
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: house as an office.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's fine with them, as long as I don't
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: have clients visiting all the time.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Does your insurance company not absolutely, because your.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Insurance would go up if you will. Why would it go.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Because it's an it's not office space. That's different insurance, right,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: but it's still safe, but it would not be.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: The same price. Ask insurance right now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: No, it's my house that they're insuring.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But you work from the yard.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Part of it is an office.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: There's something official you guys are doing wrong. There's something official. Yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you now. It's a red day.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike Morney. We're coming to you in Alberton
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: morning Morning, money.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: You know, I want to tell you it's so difficult
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: there's so many factors. You know, you've got the mystic workers.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: I'm in the garden service industry myself. Certain people have
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: the mystic workers that I'm on a Monday. Certain people
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: have them on a Friday. Some people want the gross
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: cut on a Monday. Some once at on a Monday.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: You know, we've been involved between neighbors that your neighbor
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: to please cut history and then please don't bow your
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: neighbors leaves into my yard. You're always involved. It is
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: one of the most difficult industries to be in. We
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: can be everybody's that the lighting so or we can
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: be the most heighted people under the side.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it depends depends on which side of the fence
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I'm on. If I'm on the other side where money
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: is cutting grass, obviously you're my enemy. But if you're
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: cutting my grass, we're friends.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Well, that's that's life. You can't predict the way the
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: wind is going to blow in the morning. If it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: gonna blow south and I'm blowing notesable, you're going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: get those leaves.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: But listening to me, now, many talk about could we
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: schedule this, could we decide as a complex Mondays and
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: then everyone knows it's mine.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Now you can't because you can't decide for all the workers.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: That's anxiety it is. You've got security, you get given coach,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: you've got domestic workers. These dogs that needs to be
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: locked up. Not everybody can be on the same page.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Some people work like a armlu you, and some doesn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: work at arms. So we need to accommodate him when
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: im so we can work when the dogs is locked up.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you already have an advantage that you don't have
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to bath before you go to franky?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Do you want basically just wearing a shirts of the zoom.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It's at the top and at.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The party at the bottom. So the voice note that
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: sparked a thousand replies is this one.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Can we please all decide on a day in time
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: for everyone to move their lawn, play their music, cut
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: their trees, fix their cars. I work from home and
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: every day it's someone else making a noise. I just
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: can't take it anymore.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: People work from home should find another alternative.
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: You can't want people to change what they do in
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: the afternoons.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: What do you want them to do?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: You want them to do construction at night?
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: So there's an aspect that people don't think about unless
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: if you're in the field, in the landscape and field
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: that is, I cannot delay my program so that you
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: can do your meeting.
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: The honest opinion is that I think completely that she's
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: happily wrong. If something needs to be it needs to
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: be done, and I fully agree if it's after hours
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: or it's early morning. But at the end of the day,
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: I don't think this all timing thing will work.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Looks back to making your morning in La and the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: c I love on nine four seven
