<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connor show podcast. You guys, ever spoken to

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>anyone who's actually in quarantine? No, no, I had no

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>idea what it's like in there, right, So, yes, sir,

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>speaking to a friend of mine, Tom, He's a week

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>into his two week at residency in a quarantine hotel, right,

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And obviously these hotels they're doing their best, right so,

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.319
<v Speaker 1>and they're basic hotels. They're just trying to do it

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and get everyone through it and keep the city safe

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and up and running. However, I didn't know what life

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>is like in this does one. Chatting to him, I said,

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>what is a day like? And he goes, God, the

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>first couple of days were really hard. He got so

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>bored because we all think, ah, you watch Netflix and

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>stan all that. He goes, yeah, you'll do that for

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>an hour or two and then you're like, I've got

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>another fourteen hours of this day. So he said, on

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>day three he had a kind of breakdown as he

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>found himself pacing out the distance around his bed, like

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>striding out works out it was six meters. He then

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>did that one thousand times, sat on the bed and

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.479
<v Speaker 1>almost started to cry. And that's day three, Yes, that's

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>day three. He then realizes, right that you know, in

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>any kind of it's the way the free market, that

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>there are companies who worked out that people and then

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 1>they need stuff. There's a company then that. And obviously

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>what a great contract to have where you go online

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you can order in fitness gear cool yep, So exercise bikes,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>rowing machines, weights, you can order as much. You won't

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>got to pay for a premium, obviously, but they bring

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you gear and stuff like that. So he's got a

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the only thing that was left because everyone else when

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they started the two weeks Stint had been were aware

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>of this. He wasn't. He's got some old sort of

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>school gym static bike that one of those old sort

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>of metallic ones, even just getting one like one on

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>this mankey old nineteen seventies exercise bike every day with

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>no view, just looking at a wall, you know. He said,

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>So he's got that now to happen out. And I said,

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>what was about the alcohol, because I didn't know whether

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you were now to drink it? Do you have a

0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>mini bar? No? No spirits? Okay, I think for that

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of rule they've something's happened. If you don't start

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>with that rule, if someone someone's gone too heavy in

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the spirits like day one have just been a pain

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in the backside. They're like, hey, for now one guys,

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.239
<v Speaker 1>leave the top shelf stuff along, right, You've got enough

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>demons to get through in two weeks. Don't bring them

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>out of the bottle. So no top shelf boost. Right.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>When he's like checking in, he says he doesn't want

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to make up that he's obviously needing wine to get through.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>He goes, and if I, you know, on a Friday

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>or Saturday night he's aging every night. You know, I

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>do love a glass, just one or two on a

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Friday or how much isn't there? He goes, it's one

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>bottle of day. And he went right, okay, all right, okay,

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>And then he goes, I would never have an extra

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>glass of a second one, but if I want to to,

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I wanted to some kind of bottle,

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to have the second bottle. But if

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to do this is a comfort knowing it

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>session it's one bottle of day, he said. He's got

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the situation. Now. Sometimes he goes, he can just himself

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>till six o'clock. He gets till six slot and then

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.079
<v Speaker 1>he has a glass of wine said by a sort

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of corbas seven. The whole bottle was gone, and he's

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>got another long cut of arts before he goes to bed.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>He's now rationing himself on some days, having no wine

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>so he can have an extra couple of glasses. This

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>is his life for two weeks. I was thinking, right,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I was that fitness company, you would

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>make you triple your profits sneaking in boost you go.

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>He he wants an x a cup of dumbbells, six

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>bottles of booze durfee sales dumb bells. I'd be smuggling

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>them and changing him a lot more in cash. Why

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>are these medicine balls clickings? Christ Connel Show Podcast
