0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>phone in today. Why were you school famous? Get a

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 1>load of this?

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm a twin and the first day of high school,

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>my mom decided to catch the bus with us in

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>her ninety dressing gan and slippers. Their bus used to

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 2>pick us up from right outside the house and it

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>would do a loop, so she just stayed on the

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>bus until it dropped her back off at the house.

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 3>So, Robin, school famous even despite being in the ninety

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.639
<v Speaker 3>and stuff, you weren't allowed to acknowledge your parents existed

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 3>at school. I remember my mom had to drop my

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 3>lunch off one day and I organized to meet her

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 3>at the back.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Of the school.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 3>It was like a drug deal, really, because I didn't

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 3>You don't want anybody to see that your mom's come.

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.599
<v Speaker 1>In to the school. Where does that come from? It

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>gets chronic. It goes some like they're happy to like

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>hold hands with you walking down the street when they're

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>really tiny siddy. They don't even want you in the

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>just throw over the fence. I was told one day,

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>check over the fence, all right? So why were you

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.679

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Some amazing stories coming through. Maybe we'll make this a feature.

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Why were you school famous? I keep reading the text

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I just met read out there's more to it. Actually,

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in year ten there was a boy who rode in

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the back of a stationary Pepsi truck in his outdoor

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>ed bicycle class. From then until we graduated in year twelve,

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 1>two whole years, he was known as Pepsi Truck. How

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>do you ride into the back of a stationary truck

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that's got that giant, big old Pepsi look on the

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>back of it?

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Beck?

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So we're asking people today why were you school famous? Beck?

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>My parents managed the garbage contract for the local council

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and Dad would occasionally drive my two brothers and I

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to primary school in the garbage truck. That would have

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>been amazing. We were always embarrassed when he would put

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>up at the front gates in the huge truck parts

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>all the cars, you will get out quickly and that

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>would outfail. Every time. Dad would beat the horn A

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>few times we were always known as the Garbo kids.

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I hated the time, but it's quite funny thinking about

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to it now. Beck. One day you already missed that. Owen,

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>my brother was the youngest person in Australia at the

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>time to have a bionic ear. Oh wow, Jenny. We

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>had to make egg sandwiches in home economics in year seven,

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I coinstantly had a bad tummy bug that saying day

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>my mum wouldn't have the day of a projectile, vomited

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in the quadrangle. Quadrangle and forever carried the nickname egg sandwich.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>They're all basic the nicknames, aren't they. PEPSI truck eggs.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Says what it is.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Meagan, good morning, good morning.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 5>How are you?

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm good? Okay? So why were you school famous?

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 5>And so when I was in year seven, I was

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 5>sewing a garment for my friend, not even mine, and

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 5>sewed over my finger with the sewing machine. The problem

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 5>was I stopped. The nader was still there. The guy

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 5>beside me grabbed my hand and he yanked it and

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 5>snapped it off. And I had said hospital and have

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 5>it removed.

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 3>You had the finger removed, the.

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 5>Fingers still there. But because of that for the next

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 5>fifteen fifteen plus years. I was the cautionary tail on

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 5>the first day of sewing class for every year seven

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 5>kid at that school. But if you do be noisy

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 5>in class, this is what's going to happen to you.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. Are you on the train?

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 5>I am sorry? Did you hear it?

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, just in the background. I thought it was.

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to a show? Monique School? Famous school?

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 7>Famous. So my dad was a commercial photographer and he

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 7>used to photograph Alan Fwallis for their catalogs. And I

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 7>used to have the large boxes that you normally see

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.359
<v Speaker 7>at the milk bar, and I'd take them in school

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 7>to share with everyone. So I was a legend in

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 7>my own lunch box and everyone else.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>You're like a pied piper with those adims.

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Willie Wonks Factory.

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 7>What snakes, bananas, milk bottles, sticks has grown up?

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Now have you got any today?

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 3>There was actually a rumor at our school that a

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 3>kid from another school's dad worked at the Nestleigh Factory

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 3>and that they got chocolates like that. Like your legend

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 3>would have gone out here in your school all over Victoria.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Amazing money. That's a great one. Have a great day.

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:36.719

<v Speaker 1>Leo Christian. They were Christian.

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 6>I'm here. It was in grade two and I came

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 6>home from school all excited that we had a fancy

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 6>dress there coming up. So my sister would have been

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 6>about fourteen at the time that I've got this for

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.919
<v Speaker 6>got it nails, but it's got a white cheek, wrote

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 6>Coldgates of the side. I got a red bucket from

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.599
<v Speaker 6>the laundry, stuck it on my head, and I was

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 6>going dressed as a tube of toothpaste. The only problem

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 6>was the next day when I got to school, Mum

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 6>dropped me off, started cupping away, and I turned around

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 6>and realized it was actually free dress day, not fancy

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 6>dress day.

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:21.320
