WEBVTT - MINI: Muck Up Day

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>So ticking off another lambmark moment in my time here

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>in Australia. First order to go through muck up Day tomorrow.

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So what can I expect? What happened with you guys

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a muck up Day? Did you get up to anything?

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.639
<v Speaker 2>By the time I got to year twelve, they were

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 2>really putting the fear in us that we would get

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 2>expelled on muck up.

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>And Sanicans used to happen, Yeah, really bad.

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>So there was a lot of people saying, like there's

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of talk, oh, we're going to put fish

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>behind the lockers and stuff, but no one. Everyone chickened

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>out by the time we got.

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>There, Patsy, you you probably in a different time about

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>There was all kinds of stuff.

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 3>It was a different time. Christian nineteen ninety we did

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 3>the usual smothered all the handrails in Vassalaine and you know,

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 3>put streamers and balloons in the trees and.

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>That's smucked up. The bunting carefully assembled and arranged.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 3>One of my girlfriends had a little v dub beetle,

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 3>this really old beetle that was her grandma's that she

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>used to drive to school, and we wrapped Norel's car

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>in heaps and she couldn't get into it. But worst

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 3>of all, there was a group of boys, a certain

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>group of boys who they must have obviously had outside

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 3>help to get the thing there, because none of them

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 3>had their license at that point. But they'd got this

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 3>car wreck. So this shell of a car that had

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 3>clearly been in a front end collision because all the

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 3>front was crumpled up, and it had clearly caught fire

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 3>because it was black, and they shoved it or placed

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 3>it at the front of our year twelve common room

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>to make it look like it had smashed into it,

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>and they put police tape around her. It really was,

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>and the principal was livid. And not only that start

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 3>on the on the handround, but they also and this

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 3>really annoyed the pe teacher the department. They sawed all

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 3>the goalposts in chain saw both ends eight posts. Anyway,

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 3>we ruined it for future years because then, like subsequent

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 3>mark ups, they were really like they really climbed down.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>No more balloons in trees, no more down mine the chainsaws,

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>but those balloons. This is the Christian o'commel show.

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 4>Podcast.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Earlier on we were talking about your weekend, tell us

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>about your weekend six words, and out of all the

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>messages that came in from you guys, there was a

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>strange one that simply said two cages to bury the body.

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I don't e want to know

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>what's going on there? Call the police later. Someone obviously

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>half an hour later worried that I Am going to

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>call the police or on the producer as well, and

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>they've nervously gone thirty five minutes later. Just to clarify

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>my six word weekends, my daughters, pet Ratt had died once.

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>He buried in the front yard. Sure laying down that alibi.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 1>All right? Your muck up Day stories Christian. Back in

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the nineties, all the lockers were dragged onto the oval

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Christian our muck up Day. Also in the eighties, a

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>group of guys at our school decided to fill up

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the teacher's car by putting the fire hose inside and

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>turning the hydrant on. Thirty years ago, the senior class

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>brought in about five thousand business cards that simply said

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>class of eighty five and hid them everywhere couches, behind

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>paintings and books in the library ceiling tars. The cards

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>are still occasionally found to this day. It's like a

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>FOLKLRT become a living legend. Thank you Pam for that one. Brett,

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a kid suggested, but everyone bringing two watermelons, so there

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>would be like seven hundred water melons lying around the school.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>As a result, everyone, i mean everyone in our grave

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>brought in at least two water melons. Our school was

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>covered in watermelons. Simple but effect of that one Brett Taylor.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Someone drew Willie on the oval with weed killer. Yeah,

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not the classic Christian. We stuck about twenty five

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>thousand plastic forks in the footy field. It was awesome.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>This one is unbelievable. One of our teachers had just

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>bought a fee at five hundred. Now you don't need

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to know a lot about cars. Those are very small.

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Those fit little Italian bubble car. It's like a pinny

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>basket upside down. And add to that, we challenged a

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>rugby team to see if they could pick up the

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>car and carry it Christian. These guys were huge, massive,

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>big enough to carry some POxy small Italian car. Long

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>story short, they managed to carry the little car out

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>of the out of the staff car park, then up

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>three stories onto the third floor hallway, all without setting

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>off the fire alarms because it gets scraping along with

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the quite tight stairwell. It was quite hilarious until the

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>teacher saw the car on the third floor in the hallway.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 1>A whole year got sent home.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>That is amazing.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>That is something else.

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Is how do they get the cardio.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Still there? Yes, let's go to Meg.

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Good morning Meg, Good morning Christian. How are you?

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm good Meg, hope you had a great weekend. What

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>is your muck up story?

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 4>So our entire school got putting attention for two hours

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 4>because we broke in the night before because we had

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 4>the principle that we didn't like, and our parents helped

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 4>us and we took all the chairs out of the

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 4>school and made it look like a breaking because one

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 4>of our matess of janitor and gave us the keys

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 4>to the kingdom.

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, one part of that is you said parents helped us.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>You can't have to helpful the parents. Can you help

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>our markup date?

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Pretty much? Well, all the parents were over this principle

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, they just they all helped us.

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Sounds up. More is the parents trying to prove a point.

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Then it's not like you were just helping you your

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>parents do this.

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know who benefited more from that after for them,

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.239
<v Speaker 4>but we got putting attention for two hours, and after

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 4>two hours we all got to go home to the day.

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>So where did you hide all the chairs? Because obviously

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>in a school, a big school, that's a lot of

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>chairs to.

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 4>Hide in everyone's houses.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>The answer the question, Meg, Thank you very much, you

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>coll mate. Have a good day. Rachel. Good morning, Good morning, Rachel.

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>What is your muck up day story?

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I was the inature at college in nineteen ninety

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 5>and we decided to build a brick wall to stop

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 5>all the teachers coming into their own car park.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Is really elaborate. That's a sort of time and effort

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that is. That's a great one.

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 5>And then we rounded up the lawn with our slogan

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 5>nineteen ninety out of this world and ruined the whole lawn.

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Rachel starting to chuck about it now, she's still living't it?

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Out of this world? All right? Rachel? Thank you very

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>much the story. Take care, that's all right.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 5>See have a good day.

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>And Katrina, good morning.

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 6>Good morning. How are you Christian and everyone.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It's good Katrina, and I hope you well. So what's

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>your mark up date story for us?

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'm a teacher, so over the years I've seen

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 6>this few but I think one of my favorites was

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 6>about twelve or thirteen years ago when I was working

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 6>in the country. I don't know how the kids managed it,

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 6>but they managed to relocate the principal's entire office onto

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 6>the roof of the school. They must have got in overnight.

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how they did it, but nothing that

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 6>was said about it. The principal went along with it.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 6>She went to her job on the roof of the school.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>That's really really.

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 6>Funny, went along with the joke.

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I did running meetings up there, bringing down to her paye,

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>bring up the teas and biscuits.

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 6>She she somehow arranged her ladder unbiditation to go up

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 6>to her offers and inverted commas the kids was I

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 6>think the kids were disappointed that they didn't get into

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 6>trouble for it.

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Now tell me this, it's a teacher. Do you dread

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>it every year? What the kids are going to get

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>up to?

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 6>And you do get to you know, you know whatever

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 6>the kids it's usually a lighthearted thing. I do remember

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 6>one another time. All our chairs were taken from our

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 6>officers put in the massive pile in the middle of

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 6>the school, and in the middle of the school wrapping

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 6>glad wrapper. The kids were actually considerate enough to put

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 6>post it notes for our name, so we got our chairs.

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>So decent, that's so nice, a quiet.

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 6>Rebellion, but we had to stand at our desks all day.

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 6>There was only the teachers the chairs that were taken,

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 6>not the classroom chairs. But there's been a few couple

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 6>of kids one time took a couple of sheep from

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 6>their family farm, died them pick and let them flute

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 6>in the footy ground and things like that. There wasn't

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 6>a few over the years.

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Listen, Katrina, thank you very much all these stories. Okay,

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>have a good.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 6>Day, not a problem or the best.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 5>On a brighter note, you're listening to the Christian O

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 5>Carle Show podcast
