00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a twin and the first day of high school,

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: my mom decided to catch the bus with us in

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: her ninety dressing gan and slippers. Their bus used to

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: pick us up from right outside the house and it

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: would do a loop, so she just stayed on the

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: bus until it dropped her back off at the house.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: So, Robin, school famous even despite being in the ninety

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 3: and stuff, you weren't allowed to acknowledge your parents existed

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: at school. I remember my mom had to drop my

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: lunch off one day and I organized to meet her

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,479

Speaker 1: Of the school.

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: It was like a drug deal, really, because I didn't

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 3: You don't want anybody to see that your mom's come.

19
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: In to the school. Where does that come from? It

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: gets chronic. It goes some like they're happy to like

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: hold hands with you walking down the street when they're

00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: really tiny siddy. They don't even want you in the

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,800

00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I just met read out there's more to it. Actually,

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: in year ten there was a boy who rode in

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: the back of a stationary Pepsi truck in his outdoor

56
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: ed bicycle class. From then until we graduated in year twelve,

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: two whole years, he was known as Pepsi Truck. How

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: do you ride into the back of a stationary truck

59
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: that's got that giant, big old Pepsi look on the

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: back of it?

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: Beck?

00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: So we're asking people today why were you school famous? Beck?

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: My parents managed the garbage contract for the local council

64
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: and Dad would occasionally drive my two brothers and I

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: to primary school in the garbage truck. That would have

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: been amazing. We were always embarrassed when he would put

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: up at the front gates in the huge truck parts

68
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: all the cars, you will get out quickly and that

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: would outfail. Every time. Dad would beat the horn A

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: few times we were always known as the Garbo kids.

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: I hated the time, but it's quite funny thinking about

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to it now. Beck. One day you already missed that. Owen,

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: my brother was the youngest person in Australia at the

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: time to have a bionic ear. Oh wow, Jenny. We

75
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: had to make egg sandwiches in home economics in year seven,

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: I coinstantly had a bad tummy bug that saying day

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: my mum wouldn't have the day of a projectile, vomited

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: in the quadrangle. Quadrangle and forever carried the nickname egg sandwich.

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: They're all basic the nicknames, aren't they. PEPSI truck eggs.

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: Says what it is.

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,440

00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm good? Okay? So why were you school famous?

84
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 5: And so when I was in year seven, I was

85
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: sewing a garment for my friend, not even mine, and

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: sewed over my finger with the sewing machine. The problem

87
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: was I stopped. The nader was still there. The guy

88
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: beside me grabbed my hand and he yanked it and

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 5: snapped it off. And I had said hospital and have

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: it removed.

91
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: You had the finger removed, the.

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 5: Fingers still there. But because of that for the next

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 5: fifteen fifteen plus years. I was the cautionary tail on

94
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 5: the first day of sewing class for every year seven

95
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: kid at that school. But if you do be noisy

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: in class, this is what's going to happen to you.

119
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 7: Famous. So my dad was a commercial photographer and he

120
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 7: used to photograph Alan Fwallis for their catalogs. And I

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 7: used to have the large boxes that you normally see

122
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 7: at the milk bar, and I'd take them in school

123
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 7: to share with everyone. So I was a legend in

124
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 7: my own lunch box and everyone else.

125
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,960

00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Now have you got any today?

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: There was actually a rumor at our school that a

130
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: kid from another school's dad worked at the Nestleigh Factory

131
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: and that they got chocolates like that. Like your legend

132
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: would have gone out here in your school all over Victoria.

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Amazing money. That's a great one. Have a great day.

00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 6: Take care of Leo.

136
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Leo Christian. They were Christian.

137
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 6: I'm here. It was in grade two and I came

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 6: home from school all excited that we had a fancy

139
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 6: dress there coming up. So my sister would have been

140
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: about fourteen at the time that I've got this for

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 6: got it nails, but it's got a white cheek, wrote

142
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 6: Coldgates of the side. I got a red bucket from

143
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 6: the laundry, stuck it on my head, and I was

144
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: going dressed as a tube of toothpaste. The only problem

145
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 6: was the next day when I got to school, Mum

146
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 6: dropped me off, started cupping away, and I turned around

147
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 6: and realized it was actually free dress day, not fancy

148
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 6: dress day.

149
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: No oh no, Suddenly the world is a lonely place

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: on the head, all this stuff. Started to laugh at you, Leo.

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Now years tragedy the first time equals shoes comedy.

152
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: Leo, your friends would have been licky.

153
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: There. You're right, It's like lines and a wounded Hyaena.

Speaker 6: Handed the tim on a silver platter of Coldgate kid.

155
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: From then.

156
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Truck Goldgate Kid. Oh, Leo, that is amazing, Leo. I

157
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: got a pause. Hey listen, Leo, is it going to

158
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: even this? No? No, Leo, that was a great call.
