5
00:00:26,444 --> 00:00:28,364
Speaker 2: What's on the cutting room floor today? Friend?

6
00:00:28,764 --> 00:00:32,164
Speaker 1: My son sent a photo the other day and I

7
00:00:32,164 --> 00:00:33,964
Speaker 1: had such a flashback.

8
00:00:33,444 --> 00:00:34,884
Speaker 2: And which son, Jack or Liam?

9
00:00:35,084 --> 00:00:39,124
Speaker 1: It was Liam who sent it, but Jack also responded

10
00:00:39,403 --> 00:00:41,684
Speaker 1: to it saying, what a weird time. And many of

11
00:00:41,764 --> 00:00:44,364
Speaker 1: us would have memories of how wed well, all of

12
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:46,524
Speaker 1: us will memories of how weird this time was. It

13
00:00:46,564 --> 00:00:50,964
Speaker 1: was Christmas Day, twenty twenty one. Oh yeah, Jack had

14
00:00:51,004 --> 00:00:54,644
Speaker 1: just had his school formal, and this isn't this isn't

15
00:00:54,644 --> 00:00:54,924
Speaker 1: the event.

16
00:00:54,924 --> 00:00:56,644
Speaker 2: Do you actually get to have a school formal?

17
00:00:57,084 --> 00:01:00,484
Speaker 1: That was the very last event before everything closed down

18
00:01:00,604 --> 00:01:01,204
Speaker 1: for lockdown.

19
00:01:01,284 --> 00:01:05,164
Speaker 2: But because twenty twenty twenty, let me just tell the story.

20
00:01:05,283 --> 00:01:06,484
Speaker 2: I'm to try now.

21
00:01:06,484 --> 00:01:10,284
Speaker 1: I'm twenty one. Jack had his school formal. This is

22
00:01:10,364 --> 00:01:14,164
Speaker 1: pre vaccination. This is all borders closed this Oh no, no,

23
00:01:14,244 --> 00:01:17,003
Speaker 1: the borders weren't closed, but it was pre vaccination all

24
00:01:17,004 --> 00:01:21,724
Speaker 1: of that, and nearly everyone at that formal got COVID.

25
00:01:22,203 --> 00:01:25,164
Speaker 1: This was the first cases we had ever heard of

26
00:01:25,284 --> 00:01:28,884
Speaker 1: in our community. Of COVID and it was Jack's cool.

27
00:01:28,964 --> 00:01:31,724
Speaker 3: So that was but that would have been Christmas twenty

28
00:01:31,844 --> 00:01:33,724
Speaker 3: at the end of twenty twenty, is.

29
00:01:33,644 --> 00:01:35,764
Speaker 1: It, Well, he thought it was Christmas twenty twenty one.

30
00:01:36,044 --> 00:01:36,924
Speaker 1: Is he a year out?

31
00:01:36,964 --> 00:01:38,764
Speaker 3: Because there was a bunch of And it's funny how

32
00:01:38,764 --> 00:01:42,324
Speaker 3: you say that, because okay's let's go timeline twenty twenty.

33
00:01:42,964 --> 00:01:46,524
Speaker 3: That March of twenty twenty, that's when Skoma did the

34
00:01:46,524 --> 00:01:49,124
Speaker 3: big breakthrough announcement. You were hosting Dance with the Stars,

35
00:01:49,644 --> 00:01:52,004
Speaker 3: and he said, you can't go out, you can't do anything.

36
00:01:52,404 --> 00:01:55,604
Speaker 3: And then we had Lockdown twenty twenty and I saw

37
00:01:55,644 --> 00:01:57,084
Speaker 3: that the Christmas at twenty twenty.

38
00:01:57,244 --> 00:02:00,684
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, it came back to cash prizes. Well, what

39
00:02:00,804 --> 00:02:05,964
Speaker 1: happened here was that this photo shows Liam Harley's taken

40
00:02:06,004 --> 00:02:08,803
Speaker 1: the photo. It's Liam and I are sitting on a couch.

41
00:02:09,324 --> 00:02:12,924
Speaker 1: Jack is smiling. It's Christmas Day, but Jack is on

42
00:02:12,964 --> 00:02:18,324
Speaker 1: a iPad. He was in isolation on Christmas Day. And

43
00:02:18,363 --> 00:02:20,084
Speaker 1: what had happened was he and a number of his

44
00:02:20,204 --> 00:02:24,163
Speaker 1: friends all got COVID around the same time, and a

45
00:02:24,204 --> 00:02:30,164
Speaker 1: group of them went into one house because someone's parents said, Okay,

46
00:02:30,444 --> 00:02:33,724
Speaker 1: take the house. We're going to go down the coast,

47
00:02:34,163 --> 00:02:35,844
Speaker 1: you take the house. So four or five of them

48
00:02:36,363 --> 00:02:38,364
Speaker 1: went into isolation together.

49
00:02:38,404 --> 00:02:40,323
Speaker 2: But they were all very, very sick.

50
00:02:40,564 --> 00:02:42,883
Speaker 1: As a parent, it was very alarming to not have

51
00:02:42,964 --> 00:02:44,804
Speaker 1: him live at home during that, but it was so

52
00:02:44,884 --> 00:02:47,124
Speaker 1: much easier that they could have. They could roam around

53
00:02:47,124 --> 00:02:49,924
Speaker 1: a house, and we could roam around our house. So

54
00:02:51,324 --> 00:02:53,044
Speaker 1: but they're all very ill. We forget what it was

55
00:02:53,163 --> 00:02:57,284
Speaker 1: like before vaccination. And then when the daughter of that

56
00:02:57,363 --> 00:03:00,484
Speaker 1: house had come out of isolation, the family wanted the

57
00:03:00,483 --> 00:03:03,924
Speaker 1: house back, so Jack had to come home. So we

58
00:03:03,964 --> 00:03:07,323
Speaker 1: went down the coast and Jack was on his own

59
00:03:07,363 --> 00:03:10,284
Speaker 1: for Christmas Day and our neighbors very kindly wrapped up

60
00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:13,364
Speaker 1: Christmas food put it on the doorstep for him. And

61
00:03:13,444 --> 00:03:16,923
Speaker 1: a week later their daughter had COVID and she's been

62
00:03:17,404 --> 00:03:19,964
Speaker 1: I think it was her holidays sitting in the pool

63
00:03:19,964 --> 00:03:21,084
Speaker 1: outside while everyone else.

64
00:03:20,964 --> 00:03:23,844
Speaker 2: Was inside the house. But you forget what it was like.

65
00:03:24,244 --> 00:03:27,043
Speaker 1: You forget what it was like. And I had pre

66
00:03:27,244 --> 00:03:30,084
Speaker 1: paid for all our family, my Queensland family and everyone,

67
00:03:30,483 --> 00:03:32,763
Speaker 1: my dad, my brother, sister in law, my niece and

68
00:03:32,844 --> 00:03:36,564
Speaker 1: nephew to all meet in Noosa, and I'd prepaid to

69
00:03:36,604 --> 00:03:40,204
Speaker 1: render house. And because I was a close contact of Jack's.

70
00:03:41,564 --> 00:03:45,204
Speaker 1: We couldn't go. That was the days where Anastasia Palichet

71
00:03:45,524 --> 00:03:47,924
Speaker 1: was going nuts. For yes, if we would have had

72
00:03:47,964 --> 00:03:50,004
Speaker 1: to go into isolation in Queensland for two weeks in

73
00:03:50,004 --> 00:03:54,524
Speaker 1: a hotel. And so I was every morning illegally. I

74
00:03:54,604 --> 00:03:56,564
Speaker 1: took my dog for a walk at four in the morning,

75
00:03:57,204 --> 00:03:59,404
Speaker 1: and I cried and I cried and I cried, and

76
00:03:59,444 --> 00:04:01,164
Speaker 1: I'd crossed the street if I saw someone because I

77
00:04:01,164 --> 00:04:03,364
Speaker 1: thought I can't afford to breathe on them.

78
00:04:03,764 --> 00:04:05,444
Speaker 2: You forget how it was.

79
00:04:06,164 --> 00:04:08,164
Speaker 1: And it's all right for people now to complain about

80
00:04:08,204 --> 00:04:11,324
Speaker 1: our vaccination program and being forced vaccination. We forget what

81
00:04:11,363 --> 00:04:13,363
Speaker 1: it was like before we had vaccinations.

82
00:04:13,764 --> 00:04:17,604
Speaker 3: It is true, and my memory is a deal dim

83
00:04:17,604 --> 00:04:20,684
Speaker 3: of it now because and it feels and this is

84
00:04:20,724 --> 00:04:23,764
Speaker 3: why we forget about world wide pandemics. This has happened

85
00:04:23,803 --> 00:04:28,444
Speaker 3: before to US, worldwide pandemically. Two thousand and nine, for example,

86
00:04:28,444 --> 00:04:31,324
Speaker 3: we had swine flu, but that weren't locked down, no,

87
00:04:31,444 --> 00:04:33,284
Speaker 3: but they still had a lot of cases. There was

88
00:04:33,284 --> 00:04:35,484
Speaker 3: a lot of cases, a lot of people that were

89
00:04:35,524 --> 00:04:40,124
Speaker 3: in ICU, more though more than what was actually in

90
00:04:40,524 --> 00:04:44,044
Speaker 3: ICU at the time. When we went through COVID and

91
00:04:44,044 --> 00:04:45,803
Speaker 3: that's what I used to look at the Sidney Morning Herald,

92
00:04:45,844 --> 00:04:49,604
Speaker 3: they had an article about we had fifteen hundred ic

93
00:04:50,404 --> 00:04:53,484
Speaker 3: ICU beds in New South Wales, meaning that they were

94
00:04:53,684 --> 00:04:57,484
Speaker 3: fully ventilated beds, So fifteen hundred people if they had

95
00:04:57,524 --> 00:05:02,364
Speaker 3: that would be fully incubated, incubated and they'd be fall

96
00:05:02,444 --> 00:05:03,604
Speaker 3: on looked after.

97
00:05:04,044 --> 00:05:05,524
Speaker 2: We never got to that capacity.

98
00:05:05,564 --> 00:05:07,484
Speaker 1: Well, we could see the footage from America with bodies

99
00:05:07,484 --> 00:05:10,404
Speaker 1: are being put into the back of that and mass graves.

100
00:05:10,044 --> 00:05:12,004
Speaker 3: And some people will say, ah, like I just thought

101
00:05:12,004 --> 00:05:13,244
Speaker 3: it would do. The other day, he goes, how did

102
00:05:13,284 --> 00:05:15,404
Speaker 3: you did you get vaccinations? I said, yeah, I think

103
00:05:15,404 --> 00:05:17,444
Speaker 3: I got about five or six of them, and heus,

104
00:05:17,444 --> 00:05:18,564
Speaker 3: why did you do that? And I said, well, I

105
00:05:18,604 --> 00:05:20,844
Speaker 3: just didn't want to, you know, I just I've been

106
00:05:20,844 --> 00:05:23,564
Speaker 3: getting flu shots since I was in my twenties, have

107
00:05:23,644 --> 00:05:25,324
Speaker 3: been vaccinated for everything else.

108
00:05:25,724 --> 00:05:26,484
Speaker 2: What does it matter?

109
00:05:26,604 --> 00:05:28,684
Speaker 3: You know, like really, why wouldn't you like I drink

110
00:05:28,764 --> 00:05:30,524
Speaker 3: like a fish, you know, like there's me and other.

111
00:05:30,924 --> 00:05:33,044
Speaker 1: Your body's a temple, one of those temples, but monkeys

112
00:05:33,044 --> 00:05:34,084
Speaker 1: throw their feces around.

113
00:05:34,164 --> 00:05:36,924
Speaker 3: Like I didn't lean into the conspiracy theory out of

114
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:39,964
Speaker 3: mate that was telling me that there were five g

115
00:05:40,204 --> 00:05:44,044
Speaker 3: like little tidy microbots being injected. I said, dude, that

116
00:05:44,164 --> 00:05:47,244
Speaker 3: is the most nuts unhinged thing. But people as well.

117
00:05:47,284 --> 00:05:49,204
Speaker 3: But I don't judge people for not getting vaccinated in

118
00:05:49,284 --> 00:05:51,484
Speaker 3: it because a part of it is there was a

119
00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:54,284
Speaker 3: great fear you didn't know of with Astrasenka. All of

120
00:05:54,324 --> 00:05:55,484
Speaker 3: a sudden, we're getting it.

121
00:05:56,004 --> 00:05:58,044
Speaker 2: And you're thinking, what am I going to get a blood clot? Now?

122
00:05:58,084 --> 00:05:58,484
Speaker 2: That's right.

123
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:01,124
Speaker 1: But having said that, people are looking back at that

124
00:06:01,204 --> 00:06:02,964
Speaker 1: time and saying, why did.

125
00:06:02,764 --> 00:06:03,404
Speaker 2: We have to do that?

126
00:06:03,444 --> 00:06:06,204
Speaker 1: We've forgotten why, We've forgotten how.

127
00:06:06,124 --> 00:06:08,404
Speaker 2: Hard it was. And you know what, in another.

128
00:06:09,724 --> 00:06:12,964
Speaker 3: What ninety five years from now, when it comes around again,

129
00:06:13,284 --> 00:06:15,244
Speaker 3: everyone will be saying, oh, hang on, what, well.

130
00:06:15,164 --> 00:06:16,164
Speaker 2: This is like childbirth?

131
00:06:16,244 --> 00:06:17,924
Speaker 1: Do you think we have more than one child? If

132
00:06:17,924 --> 00:06:19,964
Speaker 1: we remembered exactly.

133
00:06:19,484 --> 00:06:22,443
Speaker 2: What childbirth was like, you just got to keep on living.

134
00:06:22,604 --> 00:06:25,244
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll let you know when I have my next baby.

135
00:06:25,564 --> 00:06:28,404
Speaker 2: Well, we'll have a radio.

136
00:06:28,204 --> 00:06:30,764
Speaker 1: Competition and the Guinness Book of Records will be there too.

137
00:06:31,884 --> 00:06:35,884
Speaker 2: Okay, kids, that's it for today. That was Johnson and

138
00:06:35,964 --> 00:06:40,644
Speaker 2: I'm just cutting I'll come back tomorrow some more
