Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Christian O'Connell's show podcast. Hey it's a Christian
Speaker 1: O'Connell show. Thank you very much for tuning in. This
Speaker 1: week it's time for this the Wonder Year Year. Every
Speaker 1: week all the show we do the Wonder Year. Will
Speaker 1: we take you back to a year? Go to great
Speaker 1: Daser about what that view was for us, for you guys,
Speaker 1: and what the movies around, what was going on in
Speaker 1: TV and news as well? This week it's two thousand
Speaker 1: and four. John Howard was the Prime Minister. Arnie, what's
Speaker 1: the governor of California? Forgotten about that? Two thousand and four?
Speaker 1: For you, Jack Posts? How old are you have been? In?
Speaker 1: Two thousand and four? Was the year I first became
Speaker 1: a dad when Ruby was born. But what were you
Speaker 1: doing in two thousand and four? Going to press us?
Speaker 2: I was sixteen turning seventeen.
Speaker 1: In year Dad, I was becoming a dad whilst a
Speaker 1: young Jack Post was sixteen.
Speaker 2: I remember in year eleven I was obsessed with comedy
Speaker 2: and wanted to make my own sketches and I got
Speaker 2: special permission from the school which they'd never done this before.
Speaker 2: That over school holidays I could take home one of
Speaker 2: the school video cameras.
Speaker 1: So your school had the av clubs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. We had a particular media class and
Speaker 2: you were allowed to use the cameras during the class.
Speaker 2: But I was the first student to ever take it home.
Speaker 2: I remember they made up a form for me that
Speaker 2: I had to sign that they wrote.
Speaker 1: All over the summer holiday you were allowed it was
Speaker 1: it one of those sort of quite big, heavy can.
Speaker 2: It was more like the camp I guess, more like
Speaker 2: the camcorder you bought in the other day, which sounds weird,
Speaker 2: but there is a backstory to why you had a
Speaker 2: cam court.
Speaker 1: By the way. So I just like to feel more
Speaker 1: interactions with the team. I'll make my own project, follow
Speaker 1: up breakfast Wish project.
Speaker 2: So I had this the video camera, and I left
Speaker 2: it on the tram on the way home from school
Speaker 2: on that very last day of school.
Speaker 1: So it didn't even get home.
Speaker 2: Didn't even get home, didn't even film with it or anything.
Speaker 2: I didn't notice. I didn't have it until later that
Speaker 2: night and then calling the tram company and just couldn't
Speaker 2: find it. Was so worried all summer holidays about going
Speaker 2: back to school and telling the school that I've lost
Speaker 2: the video too much stress. So how did your mom
Speaker 2: and dad rear?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I was crying. I remember crying on the phone, ringing
Speaker 2: her back, like Mom, I've done something.
Speaker 1: It would have been really expensive.
Speaker 2: Wait, like way more. That's why we didn't have one
Speaker 2: of our own. Like just too much money for what
Speaker 2: our family could afford. I remember it was the school
Speaker 2: said it cost them nine hundred dollars. They made us
Speaker 2: pay five hundred.
Speaker 1: It's like to pay fine that now would be worth
Speaker 1: over it's over one thousand dollars. That's really tight. Surely
Speaker 1: the school would have had insurance.
Speaker 2: That's well, that's what they said that I think. I
Speaker 2: guess five hundred dollars was the excess on the insurance maybe?
Speaker 1: And what were you going to make? This is what
Speaker 1: I want to know. What was this lost comedy on?
Speaker 1: You know that life is full of many what could
Speaker 1: have been?
Speaker 2: You'll laugh? Remember the Ashton culture show punked. I wanted
Speaker 2: to film.
Speaker 1: You know what, sometimes like to think there is some
Speaker 1: kind of God, but never got out there and he
Speaker 1: just maybe maybe he hid his hand and he hid it,
Speaker 1: moved it onto trans sat next to him, knew that
Speaker 1: there was going to be your own shabby kobig version
Speaker 1: of jacked. So it's his chat with a with a
Speaker 1: little D at the end, like on Bunks.
