Speaker 2: from school, their full name and why, That's what I'm
Speaker 2: looking for. Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au.
Speaker 3: Christian.
Speaker 2: I remember Megan O'Neill from the eighties because of her
Speaker 2: boiled egg sandwiches she used to bring in a lot.
Speaker 2: You can handle the smell. That's from Jimmy. Two names
Speaker 2: from me that I'll always remember. One is Martin Taylor.
Speaker 2: This guy was legend in our school year, Martin Taylor,
Speaker 2: because we were covering the Second World War a history
Speaker 2: lesson once and we're talking about the death of Hitler,
Speaker 2: and our history teachers said, did any of us know
Speaker 2: how Hitler actually died? And Martin put his hand up
Speaker 2: straight away, which is all because he wasn't the sharpest
Speaker 2: kid in the year, was certainly not in our history lesson,
Speaker 2: and the teacher was really surprised. You know when those
Speaker 2: referred to you by your son name to be sarcastic. Ah, yes,
Speaker 2: mister O'Connell, someone to share with the classes it anyway, Ah,
Speaker 2: mister Taylor's got the answer, has he?
Speaker 3: Mister Taylor, how did Hitler die?
Speaker 2: And this kid Martin, I don't know what had been fed,
Speaker 2: what family like, said that he thought he actually said
Speaker 2: that his granddad Neil killed Hitler.
Speaker 3: And I remember the whole class, the whole class.
Speaker 2: The teacher was laughing so hard, right, he ketch on,
Speaker 2: he ketch on to get control of it. And then
Speaker 2: in the end he said, you can have to excuse me.
Speaker 2: He went off. He went off, walked outside in the corridor,
Speaker 2: just to try and recompose himself. That one of the
Speaker 2: lads in his lesson is his granddad killed Hitler, Neil
Speaker 2: granddad Neil killed Hitler. And the other one is another
Speaker 2: kid called Phil Norman, Phil Norman.
Speaker 3: And I remember that kid because so we used to
Speaker 3: have these.
Speaker 2: I don't think you would have had them, Jack, because
Speaker 2: you're a bit younger than Patsy, and Patsy you would
Speaker 2: have had it, Jim of the old sort of school
Speaker 2: boards that teach us to pull down, Yes, and they
Speaker 2: were just on a circular kind a thing like that,
Speaker 2: and then they'd get the the chalk rubber, rub it
Speaker 2: off if it still had like another teacher's lesson on there,
Speaker 2: and they'd write something new on there. Anyway, this kid,
Speaker 2: he was a hero status at our school, Phil Norman.
Speaker 2: He wrote on there, mister Saul, that was our French teacher,
Speaker 2: smells off, and then a really bad word for pooh
Speaker 2: rolled it back up right, So we were like, he's coming,
Speaker 2: mister Salt's coming.
Speaker 3: It's quite a stay of my school life. This mister
Speaker 3: is coming.
Speaker 2: Nothing happened, So it takes ages about it must be
Speaker 2: about ten long minutes before he goes, okay class right,
Speaker 2: goes to put it down, turns around, doesn't see what
Speaker 2: we see, which is mister Saul smells off.
Speaker 3: We're laughing. He looks around, goes he just loses it,
Speaker 3: just loses it. No one wants to.
Speaker 2: He demands that we give over the name we almost
Speaker 2: did a I'm smart because I'm SPoD, because I wants
Speaker 2: to give up the identity of the legend that will
Speaker 2: always be Phil Norman.
Speaker 3: Jack, do you remember from school.
Speaker 4: Yours the legendary ones mine are sad? I remember the
Speaker 4: ones that broke my heart Essentially, Zoey Harper was a
Speaker 4: girl I had a crush on. She gave everybody in
Speaker 4: the class a Christmas card. At the end of the year,
Speaker 4: all my friends Christmas cards were signed Love from Zoe,
Speaker 4: and I opened mind it just said from Zoe.
Speaker 2: Right, listen, you're a music man, Please put that to
Speaker 2: a song that's like the greatest Springsteen song that's never
Speaker 2: been written.
Speaker 3: From Zoe.
Speaker 2: Please, I'm going to commission you to make that song
Speaker 2: from Zoe that is so sad for me.
Speaker 3: Time of today's show is simply from Zoey.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, Jacob poor fIF how old are you when
Speaker 2: you got the from Zoe?
Speaker 3: I would have been ten stays, though it stays.
Speaker 4: The other one that I remember is Daniel Rogers. I
Speaker 4: went over to his house to play and he told
Speaker 4: me I was jealous of all his toys. And I
Speaker 4: didn't know what jealous meant, but I knew that I
Speaker 4: knew it thing bad.
Speaker 3: And then for the for the.
Speaker 4: Rest of the play date, there was just this weird
Speaker 4: energy you.

Speaker 2: from your school days?
Speaker 5: And why made had a good maiden primary school? Which
Speaker 5: really good mate with net with now he turned from
Speaker 5: Benny to Bennie Cleaber to because he was the man
Speaker 5: that decided that there was in grade six to climb
Speaker 5: the flag pole, got in a bit of trouble, come
Speaker 5: down pretty quickly and got caught at the bottom. Lots
Speaker 5: of screaming, lots of bits and pieces were a small
Speaker 5: primary school, lots of people come.
Speaker 1: Running around, and the legend was born. We basically saw
Speaker 1: too much of Benny basically, and then therefore that was
Speaker 1: the Benny Cleaver for Ben Clever.
Speaker 3: I get it now. The legend of Benny Cleaver was
Speaker 3: born in that moment.
Speaker 5: That is exactly right. And he hasn't improved much, but
Speaker 5: he's still Benny Cleaver.
Speaker 2: He's still wanver right, And did he injure himself? Did
Speaker 2: he have to go to hospital or anything? From the
Speaker 2: flagpole rapid ascent, he.
Speaker 5: Had several stitches. But you know, in grade six you
Speaker 5: thought I didn't really care about that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: I think that would have done.
Speaker 2: I think I would have done a Greade six actually,
Speaker 2: or any great year, to be honest.
