Speaker 1: For you, Jack Posts? How old are you have been? In?

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: Two thousand and four? Was the year I first became

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: a dad when Ruby was born. But what were you

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: doing in two thousand and four? Going to press us?

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: I was sixteen turning seventeen.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: In year Dad, I was becoming a dad whilst a

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: young Jack Post was sixteen.

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: I remember in year eleven I was obsessed with comedy

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: and wanted to make my own sketches and I got

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: special permission from the school which they'd never done this before.

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: That over school holidays I could take home one of

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: the school video cameras.

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: So your school had the av clubs.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. We had a particular media class and

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: you were allowed to use the cameras during the class.

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: But I was the first student to ever take it home.

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: I remember they made up a form for me that

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: I had to sign that they wrote.

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: All over the summer holiday you were allowed it was

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: it one of those sort of quite big, heavy can.

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: It was more like the camp I guess, more like

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: the camcorder you bought in the other day, which sounds weird,

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: but there is a backstory to why you had a

34
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: cam court.

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: By the way. So I just like to feel more

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: interactions with the team. I'll make my own project, follow

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: up breakfast Wish project.

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: So I had this the video camera, and I left

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: it on the tram on the way home from school

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: on that very last day of school.

41
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: So it didn't even get home.

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Didn't even get home, didn't even film with it or anything.

43
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: I didn't notice. I didn't have it until later that

44
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: night and then calling the tram company and just couldn't

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: find it. Was so worried all summer holidays about going

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: back to school and telling the school that I've lost

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: the video too much stress. So how did your mom

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: and dad rear?

49
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Oh?

50
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: I was crying. I remember crying on the phone, ringing

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: her back, like Mom, I've done something.

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: It would have been really expensive.

53
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: Wait, like way more. That's why we didn't have one

54
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: of our own. Like just too much money for what

55
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: our family could afford. I remember it was the school

56
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: said it cost them nine hundred dollars. They made us

57
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: pay five hundred.

58
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: It's like to pay fine that now would be worth

59
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: over it's over one thousand dollars. That's really tight. Surely

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: the school would have had insurance.

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: That's well, that's what they said that I think. I

62
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: guess five hundred dollars was the excess on the insurance maybe?

63
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: And what were you going to make? This is what

64
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: I want to know. What was this lost comedy on?

65
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: You know that life is full of many what could

66
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: have been?

67
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: You'll laugh? Remember the Ashton culture show punked. I wanted

68
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: to film.

69
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: You know what, sometimes like to think there is some

70
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: kind of God, but never got out there and he

71
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: just maybe maybe he hid his hand and he hid it,

72
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: moved it onto trans sat next to him, knew that

73
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: there was going to be your own shabby kobig version

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: of jacked. So it's his chat with a with a

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: little D at the end, like on Bunks.
