1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: So ticking off another lambmark moment in my time here

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: in Australia. First order to go through muck up Day tomorrow.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: So what can I expect? What happened with you guys

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: a muck up Day? Did you get up to anything?

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 2: By the time I got to year twelve, they were

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 2: really putting the fear in us that we would get

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: expelled on muck up.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: And Sanicans used to happen, Yeah, really bad.

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: So there was a lot of people saying, like there's

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: a lot of talk, oh, we're going to put fish

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: behind the lockers and stuff, but no one. Everyone chickened

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: out by the time we got.

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: There, Patsy, you you probably in a different time about

15
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: There was all kinds of stuff.

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: It was a different time. Christian nineteen ninety we did

17
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 3: the usual smothered all the handrails in Vassalaine and you know,

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 3: put streamers and balloons in the trees and.

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: That's smucked up. The bunting carefully assembled and arranged.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: One of my girlfriends had a little v dub beetle,

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: this really old beetle that was her grandma's that she

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: used to drive to school, and we wrapped Norel's car

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: in heaps and she couldn't get into it. But worst

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: of all, there was a group of boys, a certain

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: group of boys who they must have obviously had outside

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: help to get the thing there, because none of them

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: had their license at that point. But they'd got this

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: car wreck. So this shell of a car that had

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: clearly been in a front end collision because all the

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: front was crumpled up, and it had clearly caught fire

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: because it was black, and they shoved it or placed

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 3: it at the front of our year twelve common room

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: to make it look like it had smashed into it,

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: and they put police tape around her. It really was,

35
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: and the principal was livid. And not only that start

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: on the on the handround, but they also and this

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: really annoyed the pe teacher the department. They sawed all

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: the goalposts in chain saw both ends eight posts. Anyway,

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: we ruined it for future years because then, like subsequent

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: mark ups, they were really like they really climbed down.

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: No more balloons in trees, no more down mine the chainsaws,

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: but those balloons. This is the Christian o'commel show.

43
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 4: Podcast.

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Earlier on we were talking about your weekend, tell us

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: about your weekend six words, and out of all the

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: messages that came in from you guys, there was a

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: strange one that simply said two cages to bury the body.

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't e want to know

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: what's going on there? Call the police later. Someone obviously

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: half an hour later worried that I Am going to

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: call the police or on the producer as well, and

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: they've nervously gone thirty five minutes later. Just to clarify

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: my six word weekends, my daughters, pet Ratt had died once.

54
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: He buried in the front yard. Sure laying down that alibi.

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: All right? Your muck up Day stories Christian. Back in

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: the nineties, all the lockers were dragged onto the oval

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Christian our muck up Day. Also in the eighties, a

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: group of guys at our school decided to fill up

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: the teacher's car by putting the fire hose inside and

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: turning the hydrant on. Thirty years ago, the senior class

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: brought in about five thousand business cards that simply said

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: class of eighty five and hid them everywhere couches, behind

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: paintings and books in the library ceiling tars. The cards

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: are still occasionally found to this day. It's like a

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: FOLKLRT become a living legend. Thank you Pam for that one. Brett,

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: a kid suggested, but everyone bringing two watermelons, so there

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: would be like seven hundred water melons lying around the school.

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: As a result, everyone, i mean everyone in our grave

69
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: brought in at least two water melons. Our school was

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: covered in watermelons. Simple but effect of that one Brett Taylor.

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Someone drew Willie on the oval with weed killer. Yeah,

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: it's not the classic Christian. We stuck about twenty five

73
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: thousand plastic forks in the footy field. It was awesome.

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: This one is unbelievable. One of our teachers had just

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: bought a fee at five hundred. Now you don't need

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: to know a lot about cars. Those are very small.

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: Those fit little Italian bubble car. It's like a pinny

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: basket upside down. And add to that, we challenged a

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: rugby team to see if they could pick up the

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: car and carry it Christian. These guys were huge, massive,

81
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: big enough to carry some POxy small Italian car. Long

82
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: story short, they managed to carry the little car out

83
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: of the out of the staff car park, then up

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: three stories onto the third floor hallway, all without setting

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: off the fire alarms because it gets scraping along with

86
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: the quite tight stairwell. It was quite hilarious until the

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: teacher saw the car on the third floor in the hallway.

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: A whole year got sent home.

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: That is amazing.

90
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: That is something else.

91
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: Is how do they get the cardio.

92
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Still there? Yes, let's go to Meg.

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: Good morning Meg, Good morning Christian. How are you?

94
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm good Meg, hope you had a great weekend. What

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: is your muck up story?

96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: So our entire school got putting attention for two hours

97
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: because we broke in the night before because we had

98
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 4: the principle that we didn't like, and our parents helped

99
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: us and we took all the chairs out of the

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: school and made it look like a breaking because one

101
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: of our matess of janitor and gave us the keys

102
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: to the kingdom.

103
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: Okay, one part of that is you said parents helped us.

104
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: You can't have to helpful the parents. Can you help

105
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: our markup date?

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: Pretty much? Well, all the parents were over this principle

107
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: and yeah, they just they all helped us.

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: Sounds up. More is the parents trying to prove a point.

109
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Then it's not like you were just helping you your

110
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: parents do this.

111
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: I don't know who benefited more from that after for them,

112
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 4: but we got putting attention for two hours, and after

113
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: two hours we all got to go home to the day.

114
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: So where did you hide all the chairs? Because obviously

115
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: in a school, a big school, that's a lot of

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: chairs to.

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: Hide in everyone's houses.

118
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: The answer the question, Meg, Thank you very much, you

119
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: coll mate. Have a good day. Rachel. Good morning, Good morning, Rachel.

120
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: What is your muck up day story?

121
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 5: Okay, I was the inature at college in nineteen ninety

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: and we decided to build a brick wall to stop

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 5: all the teachers coming into their own car park.

124
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: Is really elaborate. That's a sort of time and effort

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: that is. That's a great one.

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: And then we rounded up the lawn with our slogan

127
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety out of this world and ruined the whole lawn.

128
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Rachel starting to chuck about it now, she's still living't it?

129
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Out of this world? All right? Rachel? Thank you very

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: much the story. Take care, that's all right.

131
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: See have a good day.

132
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: And Katrina, good morning.

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 6: Good morning. How are you Christian and everyone.

134
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: It's good Katrina, and I hope you well. So what's

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: your mark up date story for us?

136
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a teacher, so over the years I've seen

137
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 6: this few but I think one of my favorites was

138
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 6: about twelve or thirteen years ago when I was working

139
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 6: in the country. I don't know how the kids managed it,

140
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 6: but they managed to relocate the principal's entire office onto

141
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 6: the roof of the school. They must have got in overnight.

142
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 6: I don't know how they did it, but nothing that

143
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: was said about it. The principal went along with it.

144
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 6: She went to her job on the roof of the school.

145
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: That's really really.

146
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 6: Funny, went along with the joke.

147
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: I did running meetings up there, bringing down to her paye,

148
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: bring up the teas and biscuits.

149
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 6: She she somehow arranged her ladder unbiditation to go up

150
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 6: to her offers and inverted commas the kids was I

151
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 6: think the kids were disappointed that they didn't get into

152
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 6: trouble for it.

153
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Now tell me this, it's a teacher. Do you dread

154
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: it every year? What the kids are going to get

155
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: up to?

156
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: Yes?

157
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 6: And you do get to you know, you know whatever

158
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 6: the kids it's usually a lighthearted thing. I do remember

159
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,280
