00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell's show right now on the show and then

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: we're getting back into the eights out of school. It's

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: all about the letter D this week or dat's course.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: So if you're a wild and crazy guy like Jack

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: and I, we got detentions Old Square Patsy didn't get one.

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I got quite a few, actually, and one of the

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: main ones was from do you remember when it was raining.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have had a lot of this office in Australia,

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: but we did in the UK. It was really miserable

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: during the winter because you weren't allowed to go outside

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: during break and.

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Recess indoor time.

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: That was the highlight of the day, just getting out

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: there in the prison yard, and so you used to

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: have to stay indoors and have your break indoors, and

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: then some poor teacher would have to keep an eye

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: on you because unfortunately you look up the prisoners without

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: letting them outside. It got feral in there. You're in

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: the windows were all eam up in there, and you'd

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: draw rude symbols on the windows, and so there was

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: always a teacher that to give up their lunch break

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: to watch you horrible lot, and so the teacher would

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: just be in there for a couple of minutes, then

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: they bugger off, probably have a cigarette, cry shot of whiskey,

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: and then come back round again. And so there would

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: be about sort of a hundred of us in there

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: in at desks, about eighty deaths. So we started this

29
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 1: game where you had to try and like crocodiles, jumping

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: on the crocodile heads, you would try and jump as

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: many run across as many desks as possible before somewhere

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: the teacher's coming. Anyway, I got caught. They didn't turn

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: them when the teacher were coming in. You remember when

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: they said, yeah, surname if they were angry.

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Oh God, get down. There were two types of attention.

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: There was a normal detention, which was the next day's

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: lunch break when you had to go and sit in silence.

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Or there was the head master's attention, when you had

39
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: to go and sit in his office right at the

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: end of the day for an hour while he just

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: sort of did his admin. And the head masters were

42
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: always terrified, weren't they.

43
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: We only had we had two types of detention, sit

44
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: in silence, with the other people who've got detention or

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: yard duty, which was going up.

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: And pick what's the worst one, because your mates always go,

47
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: you missed a bit there, and Chuck rubbished out you

48
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: had that little grab a thing in the sack. It

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: was humidia. But if it was your best day ever,

50
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: just for the own going, you've missed a bit there.

51
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: So what do you get a detention for? Jackie Boyd,

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: You've got detention, didn't you?

53
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: What do you get it for?

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: I would get detentions for not wearing a blaze and

55
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: not tucking my shirt in. I wore a beanie a

56
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: lot at school when you beanies weren't on the uniform.

57
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: Wow.

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: And then once I got a wrong detention for I

59
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: got detention for breaking the drum teacher's drumstick, which I

60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: didn't do.

61
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: And it wasn't a kid than being wrongfully kids.

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: It's the first how I realized, Hey, there's no justice

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: here for the common say it's a detention. Where do

64
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: I get to stand in front of my peers and

65
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: say that I did not.

66
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: Break that drumstick? Where's my twelve angry man?

67
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: Where's the evidence?

68
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: Yes?

69
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: How did you get blamed for it? No, He just

70
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: said I saw you in the music room over lunchtime.

71
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: You were the only one in there, which wasn't true.

72
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: There were other kids and there no one owned up

73
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: to it.

74
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,600

94
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: to carve my full name.

95
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,719

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,640

118
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: of the even trying to reassure me everything was.

Speaker 1: you get a detention for?

122
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: I went to a private Catholic school, girls school, and

123
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 5: we were sitting in our parking past in one of

124
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 5: the girls through a half eaten all out the window

125
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: and it actually hit the principal, who was a nun.

126
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: And so we were all put on to attentions for

127
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: two hours until someone owned up to doing it.

128
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm spartacus, I'm spartacus.

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: Now one's going to own up. You can all have attention.

130
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: Do you remember that?

131
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: It was a real pressure point that whether or not

132
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: you were all going to be strong or not, and

133
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: then if you didn't, and then you didn't want to

134
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: be that nerd that said who.

135
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: It was.

136
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: Not at all.

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 5: But anyhow, she owned up after two hours, so we

138
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: all got taken out of detention. She got depended.

139
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,960

150

Speaker 1: banana in my teacher as exhaust pile. Lucky that that

151

Speaker 1: I got attention.

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Do you remember that?

163
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Do you guys just have the detention slip for the

164
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: after school one you have to take home to your parents.

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a detention slip.

166
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I still have a Christian, it says on the dueling

167
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: with hazardous poles. Christian I had to do circuits instead

168
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: of attention twenty times around the school playing fields for

169
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: copying French homework. Christian I used to briefly question the

170
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: existence of God in our religious classes.

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: Oh, the teacher must have loved you too.

172
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: That Actually, the one before that reminded me of the

173
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: worst detention I got was when the science teacher left

174
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: the class and we were doing a test. I went

175
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: up to the front and someone who'd already handed in

176
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: their test I took it to copy, so normous, I

177
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: think she came back before I was able to put

178
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: it back again, so.

179
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: I had to shame. What did you say?

180
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: I had to get another kid to pretend they found

181
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: it in the yard and it'd been discarded. I said,

182
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: go and take this back to the science teacher.

183
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: What was the sort of story that we get from cooler?

184
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: And you go, we don't want them on it? And

185
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: did she believe that?

186
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: But no.

187
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: What happened then is she went through the two tests

188
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: and I got all the same wrong answers as the

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: person who I copied off, so she knew was me.

190
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: And the moral of that children is cheats never prosper Jason,

Speaker 2: How are you.

194
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm good, Jason. So what did you get a school

195
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: detention for?

196
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: Well, I narrowly avoided attention. So I started in the

197
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 4: woodwork room and cleared the whole room.

198
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: It was that bad.

199
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: It was like a rat crawled up and died sort

200
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: of stuff. And when I got out there, the teacher

201
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: was that disgusted that he said, if you don't own up,

202
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: you copied attention. And Wayne Danaher looked at me and said, Teo,

203
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 4: that was you. And I I was fighting so hard

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: that I to laugh, not to laugh because I was

205
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 4: so proud of the moment. But yeah, I just narrowly

206
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: avoid it because.

207
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,920

208
