You set 34 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: an agenda, yeah, and you go through them. 35 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: Can I make a suggestion for the agenda podcast? And 36 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: this is this is this can be taken with a 37 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: grain of salt. 38 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: We've been it. 39 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: No, No, I think it's a bloody good podcast. 40 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: I think it's good. 41 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: Thank you that you should put the word sports on it, 42 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: the sports agenda, the agenda sports, or just the sports agenda. Okay, 43 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: because if you don't know that it's a sports podcast, 44 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: sports podcast, how do you know it's a sports podcast 45 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: without the word sports on it. 46 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: Conversely, if you tuned in thinking it was a sports podcast, 47 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: you might actually be quite disappointed with what you actually want. 48 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, starts from a position of sports. 49 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I'd like to rename it the agenda podcast. Ostensibly a 50 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: sports show because by name only, we are a sports show. 51 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: We are sports adjacent at best. 52 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, at worst, the sports adjacent Sports adjacent podcast. 53 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: Yeah.

I 54 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: feel like you and I Jeric because we both went 55 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: to boarding school. I don't think we scratched the surface 56 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: of boarding school yards. There was a couple that sprung 57 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: to my mind yesterday that we never got onto the podcast, 58 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: which I'd like to share with you and see if 59 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: you had a similar experience. 60 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Please. I'm always I'm always intrigued to hear other people's 61 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: boarding school stories because it was such a formative time. 62 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: I talked yesterday about the direction inspection that was an 63 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: hour after lights out, where the seventh formers would come 64 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: through and wake you up again. 65 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: Just an excuse to see people's penises. Yep. 66 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: There was also a phenomena where there weren't enough showers, 67 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: well not not enough showers, but there were a limited 68 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: amount of showers, and you weren't allowed out of bed 69 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: until the lights were flicked on in the morning. You 70 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 2: had to stay in your bed, and then once the 71 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: lights were flicked on, it was a race to the 72 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: showers and sometimes a kid would be asleep, the light 73 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: would flick on. They wake up. They have to get 74 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: to the shower before everyone else, I know. So they 75 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: get up and they run down the hallway and pass 76 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: out down the hallway. There was a phenomenon and our yeah, 77 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: and our thing of multiple kids passing out in the 78 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: hallway trying to beat each other to the to the 79 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: showers because they had gone from a sleep lying down 80 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: to awake and in a full sprint within about two 81 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: or three sigonds. 82 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, there's a phenomenon 83 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: of boys entering those showers worth erections still from the morning, 84 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: which there was, and which there was in my boarding 85 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: school situations didn't one hundred percent we're communal showers. Did 86 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: you have sides on yours? 87 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: Sweet sides? 88 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: We had full we had full communal showers, present showers, yep. 89 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, pass so ground sort of situation.

Oh my god, as a teenage boy, well, 93 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: your body's changing yea. And also there's just all sorts 94 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: of different shapes and sizes. It's very confronting, but once 95 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: you overcome that, and it is a big hurdle to overcome, 96 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: it's free, very liberating. 97 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 4: It is. 98 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: The other bathroom related phenomenon that we had was something 99 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: that we're referred to as a dorm shit or a 100 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 2: dorm turt and that was basically, if you had laid 101 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: one that you thought was so big it was in 102 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: the running to be the biggest ever laid in that toilet. 103 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: It was common practice to leave it and then call 104 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: people back in to see a dorm shit wow or 105 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: a dorm turt wow. But the thing is, the misleading 106 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: part is some people would take to laying you know, 107 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: it was quite big, they wouldn't tell you about it 108 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 2: until about lunchtime or even that night, and it would 109 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: have expanded by the ah, so you could sort of 110 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: rag the dorm to it a little bit. 111 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: A few wow.

Must have been there must 115 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: have been some cold mornings in Oamado.

We'd play bull rush up and down the 119 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: hallway as well. That was brutal, getting tackled onto the 120 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: old concrete floor all wake up, six thirty in the morning. 121 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: We were running lino.

We didn't go to 125 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: the same school. 126 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was there. He was called I think his 127 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: nickname at the time was but a Balllet spongy pid 128 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: Bruff because he wore batter bullets and he loved spongy 129 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: pod Ah. 130 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well the hot the host did an okay 131 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: feed from time to time. Oh really, largest allegedly largest 132 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: single room dining hall in the Southern Hemisphere at sant 133 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: Given's College. Now that may have been usurped since I 134 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: was there, but that was the line they were running with, 135 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: largest single room dining hall. 136 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: You were a bit younger than me. You're what fifteen 137 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: years younger than me and I thirty three, Yeah, fifteen 138 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: years younger than me, So I think by the time 139 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: you'd got to boarding school, the food had improved a lot. 140 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: When I was at boarding school, particularly at Wangano. It 141 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: was better at some pools than it was at Wanganu, 142 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: but at wangan it was slow. I mean, breakfasts were good, 143 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: gruel big breakfast were good. I mean that you had 144 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: what I would describe as grilled grilled bacon, that that 145 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: for some reason, I had lots of white foam on 146 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: the top of it. It always came in big steel 147 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: kind of tubs and it had white this white crust, 148 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean. It was never very 149 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: well cooked. But I really liked the breakfast because you'd 150 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: often have baked beans or spaghetti on hash browns and bacon, 151 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: and you could have you could have quite big helpings 152 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: of breakfast. And lunch was always quite good because it 153 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: was a cooked lunch and you never had that at 154 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,559 Speaker 1: normal school. 155 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: No, the day students at our school would pay the borders, 156 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: particularly on pie Day, to bring it, which was Friday, 157 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: bring a pie down for them, you know, and you'd 158 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: buy the pie of. 159 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: Them for two bucks. Really, yeah, you had Friday Friday pate. 160 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it was every Friday, because you wouldn't 161 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: have I thought you would have had fresh because as 162 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: a Catholic school, well not through lint, but uh no fish. 163 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't recall fish. Fish on Fridays. 164 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: Don't recall fish. Okay, we're very loosely Catholic. 165 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Oh what was it? Not straight carefully we had? 166 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: Oh no it was I suppose it was. Yeah, maybe 167 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: I was just in doctrinate.

I think that's basically what 173 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: they're trying to do. And then they also try to 174 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: jazz it up by saying, right, well, the Seventh formers 175 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: are in charge, they can play some of their music 176 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: and it's going to make it cool, Like we're all 177 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: going to sit there, someone's going to pick a song 178 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: and we sit there and we reflect on the song 179 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: and on Jesus and blah blah blah.

And so you had 357 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: to sit down and it was silent. You weren't allowed 358 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: to talk, you weren't allowed to be on to I 359 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: mean there were no devices in those days anyway, but 360 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: you know, you weren't allowed to You weren't allowed your 361 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: music on or anything like that, and you had to 362 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: just And so as a result, you always did your 363 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: homework because what else were you going to do in 364 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: an hour and a half. So you finished your homework 365 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: and then maybe read a book or something like that, 366 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: but you couldn't do anything else. You couldn't talk. That 367 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: just bore you into doing your actual schoolwork. As a result, 368 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: not doing my bloody homework. I finally went to school 369 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: where was dow my homework and my marks was so 370 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: much better. 371 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: It's an incredible, so much better.

And boy did they tuck into 533 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: the top shelf. And then we had to go back 534 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: to school that night, and for some reason, we were 535 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: so passed and we're wandering around skull.

We're all sitting in the mister 539 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: Tate's office or just trying to act normal. And then 540 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: Carrie just stumbled and late into the things. He'd heard 541 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: that he had been summoned to his thing, just about 542 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: spewing like oh my god. He was like, oh my god. 543 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: And he went round the room. How much did you 544 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: always have to drink tonight?

I think sometimes in the situations, to 552 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: punish someone for that is to admit that it happened 553 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 2: under your watch. Yeah, I think you probably wanted to 554 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: keep it quiet. A lot of people have gotten away 555 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: with that kind of thing. 556 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: Mister Tate's going anyway, nice one? 557 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 4: Is that us? 558 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: That's us? 559 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 4: There was another good podcast today?
