I'm Mange Shachikular, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

Mojo in the morning. I just got a few more months to get them through. That's all I got to do. Just a few more months. And Chelsea and I are free and clear. We're in the clear.

You're going to panic. Oh my God, it's going to be so bad. Tears.

Actually, I'm worried about mom more so than me because this is her baby and she's, you know, raised three amazing men and I think she's going to be really having a tough time. But let me get to the part that I'm more worried about. He may not. Actually, this may be the greatest thing that happens to Chelsea. Luke may have to like repeat like senior year all over again for getting in trouble. So, Luke, my son, for some reason, wants to see how long his hair can grow at a Catholic school that has a rule that says that you cannot have hair past your collars or your hair can't come to a certain level like in the front. Why not? Jesus had long hair. You know, that's a great thing. And, boy, did you tell Luke to say that to his counselors and stuff like that? No, but he should. Yeah. Yeah. So Luke has gotten away with literally murder hair because he has had this hair for some time now. And it got to a point where finally enough was enough. And, you know, Dina Discipline came up to him and told him that if he doesn't get his hair and he had to get it done, I think by today, that he was going to have to serve like a detention. And the detention could be like once a week for the rest of the year, which Luke actually was thinking, Oh, that'd be kind of interesting. No, you're not doing that. You're going to get your haircut. So yesterday he went to go get a haircut, and I actually went with him because Katrina cuts our hair. And I'm like, you know what, Katrina, you've got to help him out so he doesn't get in trouble. And I wanted to make sure also that he takes enough off because it's amazing. It's like, yeah, I think that's good. No, it's not good. So he took a great amount of his hair off and got a haircut. And I was sitting there thinking to myself, this kid is a senior in high school. He's pretty much an amazing kid, I would say. And he's gotten through to this point. Why does he have to F up with just a few more months left in the school year?

Senioritis, right?

Is that what it is already?

To prove a point.

So he got a haircut and everything is good. And bless me, Father, for I have sinned. um well i should i you know i have a picture of his hair how long it was his hair was pretty long it was it was pretty wild uh it was just shaggy it looked good yeah i was gonna say i thought it looked really good yeah he looks really good in the thing um but i remember my senior year that we had a kid that just before the end of the year ended up getting in so much trouble all the time that they basically kicked him out of the school right before the end of the year i'm like You couldn't last 90 more days?

Like, what is the story here? So I want to throw it out right now to everybody that is the bad kid. Tell us what you got a detention for. Because getting a detention for your hair, Luke has done that in the past.

I've done it a million times because I had the spikes back in high school. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I think, like, Luke, I empathize with him because it's just like a controlling thing to teach kids they have to follow rules. There's no legitimate reason why hair has anything to do with education.

But it could get in their eyes.

Oh, my gosh, really? I was trying to explain it. Mine wasn't getting in my eyes.

Why does the military tell you to cut your hair? You know what I mean? I think that's kind of the thing. For rules. What's that? For what? Conformity.

Yeah. It's for conformity and discipline and to show you have to be like everybody else.

Yeah, that's why you wear uniforms, too.

I was, like, at the top of my game. I had good grades. You know, I was, like, doing good things in the school, and the nuns were keeping me down, giving me detention for spiked punk rock hair.

Luke, I feel bad that Luke didn't have what we had, Spike, because both you and I, and I think Megan, you too, you had nuns, right, at your school?

Not very many, but a few.

Oh, yeah. They were starting to go out of, there were no nuns, I don't think, at Luke's school. He's just got, like, priests and brothers and stuff like that. But nuns were the greatest, because at least the priest would, like, you know, laugh it off a little bit. The nuns would, you know. They were mean. They were mean.

Oh, my gosh. So mean. But then I'd give them the line and tell them that, i'd give them the dolly parton line well you know my hair is high because the higher the hair the closer to god and then they would just whip me with the ruler oh back then the parents would give full permission to beat the hell out of your kid i still can't believe that all right i want to

find out why you got a detention and who got the most attentions i don't know if there's a way to award uh this horrible behavior but if you got a good story for us maybe we can maybe we'll award it by we'll come and serve the detention with you after school uh amy what did you get a detention for cutting in the lunch line cutting in the lunch line yeah did they tell you that you're preparing for life by doing that yeah i know lunch lady duty was no joke wait the lunch ladies could write a detention i didn't know that they had the power to do that well she was like the aid so so

So she, like, made sure the lines didn't get out of control. But I went to a really small school. There was literally no reason to be monitoring the lunch line. But she tried giving it to me, and it wasn't even me. It was someone else I went to high school with. So I handed it back to her and said, you got the wrong girl.

Oh, geez. Passing it along. Bob, what did you get a detention for?

Good morning, guys. Good morning. Morning. Well, it wasn't me. It was my daughter's friend. And actually, it was a little more serious. It was a three-day suspension because he flipped another student off.

Really? Well, maybe that kid deserved it.

And now it's more of a burden on me because that's my daughter's ride home from school. Oh, man. So now I have to leave work early or find different rides. And, I mean, come on. That's teaching the kids life lessons. When you don't like someone, just flip them.

I would have gotten so many detentions.

Travis, what did you get a detention for?

Parting on the bus. Stop. How did they know it was you? Well, long story short, the bus driver made the older kid sit up front. And the younger kid sit in the back, which is kind of strange nowadays. I was the one always in trouble in the back. So she made me move to the front seat behind her with the older kid. And for some reason, I started farting.

But how do they know it's intentional and not just a bodily function?

Yeah, you can help it sometimes. Right? And the older kids told on me.

Poor lady. You know what, though? You are, out of all the calls we've taken, you're the most well-deserved of all the detentions. Because if I'm driving that bus and I got to smell your rotten ass, you're serving a detention. I don't want you on my bus on the way home. Sam, what's going on?

Hey, what's going on, guys? Good morning.

Good morning. What did you get a detention for?

So I grew up in Winston-Capital School as well. And probably about the fourth or fifth grade, we were learning, you know, sex education and all the anatomy and genitalia, proper names. And as we know, the male genitalia are called testicles. So a buddy and me were going around asking the girls, hey, did you take that test yet? And they were all confused and asking what test. and our reply was Deez testes that's a

your version of Deez nuts oh my god

That was these nuts before these nuts

Oh my god What's happening Dave How you doing buddy

Hey how you doing man So we had The physicians with the black and white outfits And we would call them penguins Well they would walk around and we got caught Saying that there was penguin on the loose We numbered them So the principal was penguin one The assistant principal was penguin two

Man, I'm telling you, I miss that Maybe that there's not a lot of women that want to go into the convent these days I can't imagine why not But I thought that that was the greatest Was seeing them dressed in the habits, you know Those were awesome Morgan, hi Hi Morgan, you don't sound like the type of person that would get a detention You sound like so nice

I used to get so many detentions

Did you? What's the craziest reason you got a detention?

The craziest reason, probably trying to plagiarize someone else's work. Oh, okay. That's serious. How did you not get expelled? But the reason I got the most detentions was I always hid in the library instead of going to my classes.

Oh, man. This is a lot worse than farting on the bus.

I used to hijack high school announcements. You stabbed a guy. And you're like, oh, yeah, I got a detention.

Thank you.

It's funny though The hiding in the library thing I remember I did it one time for a class I didn't want to go to a class So I just like hid in the books It's tough for a guy that was 6 foot 1 And like 200 pounds In 8th grade To hide in the library What's going on Christy

Good morning

Hi what did you get a detention for

I actually got Expelled 2 weeks before I graduated

Oh my gosh You're like the person I was talking about Like having You can't even last a couple of weeks What happened?

Yeah, so basically, long story short My friend was carrying around a prescription that was his And it was in his pocket And we knew the drug dogs were coming to school So I was like, hey, why don't you put them in my bag? We'll put them in my locker And then I get caught with somebody else's prescription

Yeah, never carry drugs for a friend

What kind of drugs were you carrying around?

It was literally a I think it was like an antidepressant that he had to take, like, at lunchtime.

Oh. So it was something that he legitimately needed to have. Why didn't he just, like, go to the office and say, hey, I got this thing?

It would have been easy.

You actually gave up your high school graduation. Were your parents pissed?

My parents were pretty upset. I ended up going to jail. I bought it, actually, too. Oh, my gosh. No, but I ended up going to an alternative school in the next town over, and I graduated with all my credit. Actually, extra credit.

i always wondered about those alternative schools do they even have a graduation ceremony for the

kids that go to that school really yep there was 42 of us that graduated yep wow is it fun

do you guys throw your you know hats up in the air your uh no what's that it was a real graduation really okay i never knew that um michelle's son ended up getting so many detentions How many detentions?

Probably close to 100, and it wasn't just in one class. It was all his classes. Oh, my gosh. What was he doing? If you asked him, he was so impulsive, you could ask him to do anything. If it would get a laugh, he'd do it. Noises, bird noises. Same. Just easy to go. He went outside and stuck in a bus.

Hey, guys. I'd like to introduce you to Spike's mom's on the phone with us right now. What does he do nowadays?

What? He still does the same stupid stuff.

He's still in school, and he's, what, 45 or something? He's 32. He's 32 years old, and he's still in high school.

No, he's not in high school now. He's still doing the same stupid stuff that he did before. Right.

You don't grow out of that stuff. What's his job? What's his job now?

He's a Mason.

Okay, so he still can mouth off all day while he's doing his work.

Yeah, they were driving through Stoney Creek and thought it would be cool to, you know, slap people on the bike's butt, and they got in trouble with the police. Oh, yeah.

Some people peaked in the ninth grade and never got out of it.

Michelle, where did you go wrong? Tell me where you went wrong.

I don't know. I have four kids and three of them are turned out not like him. And one, he's just a prankster. He actually, they wanted him out of school so bad. They, the last semester of his senior year, they kicked him out of the school, not expelled him, but he met a teacher. I had to drive him to Panera.

Panera Bread in Edchester every morning for an entire semester. Wow. They didn't want him back the next year.

Oh my gosh, that is crazy. Did Panera Bread ever kick him out?
