Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: So ticking off another lambmark moment in my time here
Speaker 1: in Australia. First order to go through muck up Day tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So what can I expect? What happened with you guys
Speaker 1: a muck up Day? Did you get up to anything?
Speaker 2: By the time I got to year twelve, they were
Speaker 2: really putting the fear in us that we would get
Speaker 2: expelled on muck up.
Speaker 1: And Sanicans used to happen, Yeah, really bad.
Speaker 2: So there was a lot of people saying, like there's
Speaker 2: a lot of talk, oh, we're going to put fish
Speaker 2: behind the lockers and stuff, but no one. Everyone chickened
Speaker 2: out by the time we got.
Speaker 1: There, Patsy, you you probably in a different time about
Speaker 1: There was all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3: It was a different time. Christian nineteen ninety we did
Speaker 3: the usual smothered all the handrails in Vassalaine and you know,
Speaker 3: put streamers and balloons in the trees and.
Speaker 1: That's smucked up. The bunting carefully assembled and arranged.
Speaker 3: One of my girlfriends had a little v dub beetle,
Speaker 3: this really old beetle that was her grandma's that she
Speaker 3: used to drive to school, and we wrapped Norel's car
Speaker 3: in heaps and she couldn't get into it. But worst
Speaker 3: of all, there was a group of boys, a certain
Speaker 3: group of boys who they must have obviously had outside
Speaker 3: help to get the thing there, because none of them
Speaker 3: had their license at that point. But they'd got this
Speaker 3: car wreck. So this shell of a car that had
Speaker 3: clearly been in a front end collision because all the
Speaker 3: front was crumpled up, and it had clearly caught fire
Speaker 3: because it was black, and they shoved it or placed
Speaker 3: it at the front of our year twelve common room
Speaker 3: to make it look like it had smashed into it,
Speaker 3: and they put police tape around her. It really was,
Speaker 3: and the principal was livid. And not only that start
Speaker 3: on the on the handround, but they also and this
Speaker 3: really annoyed the pe teacher the department. They sawed all
Speaker 3: the goalposts in chain saw both ends eight posts. Anyway,
Speaker 3: we ruined it for future years because then, like subsequent
Speaker 3: mark ups, they were really like they really climbed down.
Speaker 1: No more balloons in trees, no more down mine the chainsaws,
Speaker 1: but those balloons. This is the Christian o'commel show.
Speaker 4: Podcast.
Speaker 1: Earlier on we were talking about your weekend, tell us
Speaker 1: about your weekend six words, and out of all the
Speaker 1: messages that came in from you guys, there was a
Speaker 1: strange one that simply said two cages to bury the body.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't e want to know
Speaker 1: what's going on there? Call the police later. Someone obviously
Speaker 1: half an hour later worried that I Am going to
Speaker 1: call the police or on the producer as well, and
Speaker 1: they've nervously gone thirty five minutes later. Just to clarify
Speaker 1: my six word weekends, my daughters, pet Ratt had died once.
Speaker 1: He buried in the front yard. Sure laying down that alibi.
Speaker 1: All right? Your muck up Day stories Christian. Back in
Speaker 1: the nineties, all the lockers were dragged onto the oval
Speaker 1: Christian our muck up Day. Also in the eighties, a
Speaker 1: group of guys at our school decided to fill up
Speaker 1: the teacher's car by putting the fire hose inside and
Speaker 1: turning the hydrant on. Thirty years ago, the senior class
Speaker 1: brought in about five thousand business cards that simply said
Speaker 1: class of eighty five and hid them everywhere couches, behind
Speaker 1: paintings and books in the library ceiling tars. The cards
Speaker 1: are still occasionally found to this day. It's like a
Speaker 1: FOLKLRT become a living legend. Thank you Pam for that one. Brett,
Speaker 1: a kid suggested, but everyone bringing two watermelons, so there
Speaker 1: would be like seven hundred water melons lying around the school.
Speaker 1: As a result, everyone, i mean everyone in our grave
Speaker 1: brought in at least two water melons. Our school was
Speaker 1: covered in watermelons. Simple but effect of that one Brett Taylor.
Speaker 1: Someone drew Willie on the oval with weed killer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not the classic Christian. We stuck about twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand plastic forks in the footy field. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: This one is unbelievable. One of our teachers had just
Speaker 1: bought a fee at five hundred. Now you don't need
Speaker 1: to know a lot about cars. Those are very small.
Speaker 1: Those fit little Italian bubble car. It's like a pinny
Speaker 1: basket upside down. And add to that, we challenged a
Speaker 1: rugby team to see if they could pick up the
Speaker 1: car and carry it Christian. These guys were huge, massive,
Speaker 1: big enough to carry some POxy small Italian car. Long
Speaker 1: story short, they managed to carry the little car out
Speaker 1: of the out of the staff car park, then up
Speaker 1: three stories onto the third floor hallway, all without setting
Speaker 1: off the fire alarms because it gets scraping along with
Speaker 1: the quite tight stairwell. It was quite hilarious until the
Speaker 1: teacher saw the car on the third floor in the hallway.
Speaker 1: A whole year got sent home.
Speaker 2: That is amazing.
Speaker 1: That is something else.
Speaker 2: Is how do they get the cardio.
Speaker 1: Still there? Yes, let's go to Meg.
Speaker 4: Good morning Meg, Good morning Christian. How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good Meg, hope you had a great weekend. What
Speaker 1: is your muck up story?
Speaker 4: So our entire school got putting attention for two hours
Speaker 4: because we broke in the night before because we had
Speaker 4: the principle that we didn't like, and our parents helped
Speaker 4: us and we took all the chairs out of the
Speaker 4: school and made it look like a breaking because one
Speaker 4: of our matess of janitor and gave us the keys
Speaker 4: to the kingdom.
Speaker 2: Okay, one part of that is you said parents helped us.
Speaker 1: You can't have to helpful the parents. Can you help
Speaker 1: our markup date?
Speaker 4: Pretty much? Well, all the parents were over this principle
Speaker 4: and yeah, they just they all helped us.
Speaker 1: Sounds up. More is the parents trying to prove a point.
Speaker 1: Then it's not like you were just helping you your
Speaker 1: parents do this.
Speaker 4: I don't know who benefited more from that after for them,
Speaker 4: but we got putting attention for two hours, and after
Speaker 4: two hours we all got to go home to the day.
Speaker 1: So where did you hide all the chairs? Because obviously
Speaker 1: in a school, a big school, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: chairs to.
Speaker 4: Hide in everyone's houses.
Speaker 1: The answer the question, Meg, Thank you very much, you
Speaker 1: coll mate. Have a good day. Rachel. Good morning, Good morning, Rachel.
Speaker 1: What is your muck up day story?
Speaker 5: Okay, I was the inature at college in nineteen ninety
Speaker 5: and we decided to build a brick wall to stop
Speaker 5: all the teachers coming into their own car park.
Speaker 1: Is really elaborate. That's a sort of time and effort
Speaker 1: that is. That's a great one.
Speaker 5: And then we rounded up the lawn with our slogan
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety out of this world and ruined the whole lawn.
Speaker 1: Rachel starting to chuck about it now, she's still living't it?
Speaker 1: Out of this world? All right? Rachel? Thank you very
Speaker 1: much the story. Take care, that's all right.
Speaker 5: See have a good day.
Speaker 1: And Katrina, good morning.
Speaker 6: Good morning. How are you Christian and everyone.
Speaker 1: It's good Katrina, and I hope you well. So what's
Speaker 1: your mark up date story for us?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a teacher, so over the years I've seen
Speaker 6: this few but I think one of my favorites was
Speaker 6: about twelve or thirteen years ago when I was working
Speaker 6: in the country. I don't know how the kids managed it,
Speaker 6: but they managed to relocate the principal's entire office onto
Speaker 6: the roof of the school. They must have got in overnight.
Speaker 6: I don't know how they did it, but nothing that
Speaker 6: was said about it. The principal went along with it.
Speaker 6: She went to her job on the roof of the school.
Speaker 1: That's really really.
Speaker 6: Funny, went along with the joke.
Speaker 1: I did running meetings up there, bringing down to her paye,
Speaker 1: bring up the teas and biscuits.
Speaker 6: She she somehow arranged her ladder unbiditation to go up
Speaker 6: to her offers and inverted commas the kids was I
Speaker 6: think the kids were disappointed that they didn't get into
Speaker 6: trouble for it.
Speaker 1: Now tell me this, it's a teacher. Do you dread
Speaker 1: it every year? What the kids are going to get
Speaker 1: up to?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: And you do get to you know, you know whatever
Speaker 6: the kids it's usually a lighthearted thing. I do remember
Speaker 6: one another time. All our chairs were taken from our
Speaker 6: officers put in the massive pile in the middle of
Speaker 6: the school, and in the middle of the school wrapping
Speaker 6: glad wrapper. The kids were actually considerate enough to put
Speaker 6: post it notes for our name, so we got our chairs.
Speaker 1: So decent, that's so nice, a quiet.
Speaker 6: Rebellion, but we had to stand at our desks all day.
Speaker 6: There was only the teachers the chairs that were taken,
Speaker 6: not the classroom chairs. But there's been a few couple
Speaker 6: of kids one time took a couple of sheep from
Speaker 6: their family farm, died them pick and let them flute
Speaker 6: in the footy ground and things like that. There wasn't
Speaker 6: a few over the years.
Speaker 1: Listen, Katrina, thank you very much all these stories. Okay,
Speaker 1: have a good.
Speaker 6: Day, not a problem or the best.
Speaker 5: On a brighter note, you're listening to the Christian O
