00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio

00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: show the Hurt I Keep Breakfast podcast.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, were on Check one two Chick Chick one too.

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: It's weird doing the doing the show when it's a

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 3: public holiday in Auckland, because there's no one out in

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 3: the office, there's no one in Vaye Elli or Bay Belly,

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 3: there's no one in.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: It feels like we're back in lockdown. When I was

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: driving riding my bike actually a week this morning, I

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: thought it was normally I come out at the top

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: of my road and I'm onto Pompsonby Road and I'm like,

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: there's normally a car or something or a body or

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 2: maybe a drunk person wandering on the street. There was

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: nothing nah. And then I drove down Franklin Road. Rode

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: down Franklin Road. There was no one nah. Then I

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: turned right and went on to Victoria Street. No one

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: all the way up. And I thought, this is the

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: first time in the thirteen years I've been doing the show,

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: coming arriving at five point thirty in the morning, this

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: is the first time I have ever not seen a

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: soul that I can remember until I saw you.

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: But I was soulless so he still hadn't seen in.

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: Soul with that you you loomed large over the landscape,

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I yeah, it was felt like I felt like COVID.

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: It's good.

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: It was weird because merging onto the motorway, this is

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: another This is probably something we should talk about on

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: the radio show whenever we talk about traffic etiquette. That

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 3: goes good on the radio. You know, when you're merging

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: with the motorway. Two things that I want to point

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: out about merging onto a motorway. The first is that

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: merging area where you're turning on that is for you

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: to get up to speed. You should be going one

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: hundred k's by the end of that because when you're

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: in that bottom lane and someone tries to merge with

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: you and they're going like seventy, that causes crashes, particularly

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: for like motorcyclists who can't see you coming or you

39
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: can't see them coming. And the other one is if

40
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: you don't if you're on one of those motorways where

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: everyone's merging from the lift, which is every motorway, really

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: you shouldn't just be sitting in that bottom lane go

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: on like seventy. You know what, I mean, if you

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: don't need to be in their bottom lane and other

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: cars are coming and they get in the middle.

46
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Lane, Yeah, doesn't you don't need to be there? Nah

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: to People are just.

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: Completely zoned out on motorways.

49
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think people will get into a lane and

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: then they just want to stay in that lane. I'm

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: just in this lane.

52
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 3: And then there's the other people who, because of that,

53
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: then need to switch lanes all the fucking time, and

54
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: then that causes traffic because there's people switching lanes. Just

55
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: get in the lane you need to be in and

56
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: stay there until you.

57
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: Get where you go and go one hundred ks now.

58
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you're if someone's if you for whatever

59
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: reason want to drive slower, sweet, go to the left.

60
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: The right hand lanes are for overtaking people and then

61
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 3: getting out of the way.

62
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

63
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: We got stuck on the I drop my Aunte off

64
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: at the airport last week and then three lane motorway

65
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: back into town, all three lanes occupied by cars going

66
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: about eighty and I was sitting behind it, like starting

67
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: to lose my mind.

68
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: Man, speaking of driving, My goodness, drive sixteen year old.

69
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: My sixteen year old daughter's just got a learners. Last

70
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: week she got a learner's license, a right yep, and

71
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: so over the weekend a lot of driving lessons and

72
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: she's going well, actually, like she's we did a bit

73
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: of illegal driving down at Poodletown earlier, not not around Pedletown,

74
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: but down like these roads that nobody goes down and

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: they can't they've seen kind of like private roads, and

76
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: so she's sort of got the gist of of the

77
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: basics of driving. Now. The weird part is if you

78
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: don't grow nowadays, if you're some kind of urban kid

79
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: and you don't grow up on a farm and you

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: don't ever like, there's not the driving culture that there

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: used to be, like driving games and all that sort

82
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: of stuff, Like when I was growing driving games. Well,

83
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: when I was growing up, there was a place called

84
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: leisure Land that then changed the foot Rock Flats and

85
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: it was out and your Way. It was on the

86
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: peninsula and Yinch and they had to think called drive Town,

87
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: and they had these little car things and you drive

88
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: around in these cars like bumper cars. They weren't bumper cars,

89
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: actually it was. It was called drivedown because there were

90
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: lots of little roads that had traffic lights and all

91
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. You had to set a license to

92
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: be able to drive in it. It was quite complicated,

93
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: but the complication made it kind of cool. And you

94
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: would drive in these little cars and they didn't go

95
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: very fast, but it was fun to be driving something,

96
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: and I was right into it. And anytime my dad

97
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: would sometimes let me sit on his lap poodle Town

98
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: and I'd get to steer and he would operate the

99
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: break and the accelerator, and I just loved doing that.

100
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: And then when I got a little bit older, my

101
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: brother when he was four years older than me, and

102
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: so he got drivers driving lessons and I went with

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: my mum or my dad and my brother, and so

104
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: I sort of watched what they were saying and all

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. And then my uncle on his

106
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: farm let me drive his menual around the farm, and

107
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: so I kind of learned how to do it, and

108
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: I was just I was just gagging to drive same

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: and I wanted to do it. But I think nowadays

110
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: it's just I feel like it's just not there's not

111
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: the drive for that. Not amongst my daughter and her

112
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: friends anyway. They want to drive cars, yeah, they want

113
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: to get their license, but before you get sick to sixteen,

114
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: you don't seem to have the skills to do it.

115
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: They have also grown up in the city, so they

116
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: you know that there is public transport they can use.

117
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: But when I was a kid, you had like you had,

118
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: it was a rush to get you a license.

119
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: It took me.

120
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: I was about six weeks after my birthday that I

121
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: actually set my license, and that I felt like I

122
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: was so far behind my mates. But that was just

123
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: because the driver's license people only came down from Tomorrow

124
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: once a month and because of where my birthday fell,

125
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: and I had to wait like yeah, ages to come

126
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: down there. But flip side of that is no traffic lights,

127
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: so when you sit your tests, there's no roundabouts, no

128
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: traffic lights, there's.

129
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: No where to parallel park, are ye. Yeah, so that

130
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: was that was pretty easy. Yeah. Well, we were so

131
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: going on the weekend, so every time I wanted to

132
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: go somewhere, I'm like, you're driving, And she was like,

133
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: you know, excited obviously for it, and it was cool

134
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: to see the improvement and confidence and just you know,

135
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: getting the kind of feel of how to do it.

136
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: Any shoppers. Well, so after like two days she was

137
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: going really well and were like, there were no incidents

138
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: at all, not even close calls.

139
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: You know.

140
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: She was she was going really well, and I thought, okay,

141
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: now's the time too. We had to drop some some

142
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: rubbish to the refuse station, which is just about two

143
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: minutes out of town on like an eighty k road. Yeah,

144
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: and so I thought, oh, you can take me out there.

145
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: So I said, come on, do you want to go

146
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: out there? She's like yep, gagging to get out. So

147
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: she's driving, and I said, we're going to go into

148
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: the open road here. So you know, you got to

149
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: accelerate to eighty on the way there perfect seeing us.

150
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: You know, obviously she's definitely concentrating because the fastest she's

151
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: ever been in driving a car on the way back.

152
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: Maybe she just got a little bit too confident because

153
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: on the way back the roads had some slips. It

154
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: was not a great time to be learning on this

155
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: particular road. And there's a bit where you've got the

156
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: lane and then right on the left hand side of

157
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: the lane where where the road ends. This is kind

158
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: of a drop like a drop off cliff. Yes, it's

159
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: not a good bit of road, it really isn't. Anyway,

160
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: she's coming around the corner and then she's kind of

161
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: running quite a nice kind of a racing line through

162
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: us A and I'm like, I thought it was we're

163
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: getting a little close to the side here, but I

164
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: don't I don't want to spook her. I don't want

165
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: to spook her because she's she's going to be a

166
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: wee assuredly that she's close. Anyway, we went over the

167
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: but and then down into the thing like sexty ah,

168
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: and she freaked and then swooved the wheel and then

169
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: we went over the other side of the road luckily

170
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: no one and the car went what like sideways and

171
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: it made a huge bang, and and then she decided

172
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: the best course of action was to floor it. God

173
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: knows why, whiskey throttle and put the fund down. I'm like, way,

174
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: I like to grab the wheel, yeah sort of. And

175
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: then she corrected it, but I could like she was

176
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: freaked out. Oh god, it was a great lesson, and

177
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: I I was, I think because I'd had a reasonably

178
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: large night the night before. I was quite sort of relaxed.

179
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do your best work hangover sometimes, Yeah you're

180
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: just a bit more shell.

181
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: But she wasn't that chill about it. It was. I said, look,

182
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: this is a great lesson. Nobody was hurt, car's fine,

183
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: everything's fine. And you can see how I said, you

184
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: can see how quickly, yeah, things can go wrong. I

185
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: think you need that. I think you need I think

186
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: it was a great thing to do. Actually, in hindsight,

187
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: Jerry and.

188
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Maniah catch the radio show from six till ten weekdays,

189
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: The Hidarki Breakfast. Kerry and Maniah joined the complay the

190
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Hidaki Breakfast discussion group on Facebook for more.

191
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 3: Because I had one of those sort of scared straight

192
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: moments learning to drive the men my dad driving back

193
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: from Odamatata. We had stayed at the lakes. He had

194
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: a van like sort of like a camper van. It's

195
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: column shift. We'd stayed at the lakes, terrible weather. We're

196
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: driving back and he's like, I've been doing like you know,

197
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: there's parks and stuff around the lakes, so you know,

198
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: we're driving around. I was learning how to shift gears,

199
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: sort of.

200
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Got the hang of it. Shift. You're learning a column and.

201
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: The fucking van too that we've had hand painted with

202
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: like fence paint anyway, So we we built a bid

203
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: for the back of that van using an old pellet,

204
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: you know, like a wooden pellet, and we didn't have

205
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: anything to measure, like a roller or tape or anything,

206
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: so we used Anesian mystic CD that I had and

207
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: then we're like, all right, so the wheel arch is

208
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: two nesians high, so we're gonna build it this high

209
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: and then cut this with anyway, we did all that,

210
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: went and stayed at the lakes. We're driving back and

211
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, you can drive. And so this

212
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: is the first time I've ever been on the open

213
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: road going one hundred k's and I had to cross

214
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: the White Taggy Bridge, which is like probably the second

215
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 3: longest bridge in the South Island, and it felt like

216
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: a footpath, that's how wide it felt because it was

217
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: so terrified, and there's you know, trucks, cattle trucks coming

218
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: back the other way. Yeah, I know, and I'm hassening

219
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: it in this van. I'm like, fuck, white knuckle it.

220
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: I mustn't have said anything. And Dad also was like,

221
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: you didn't want to spook me. You didn't want to

222
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: say anything to alter, you know. And so I was

223
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: in fifth gear the whole way through because it's another

224
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: like twenty minutes from the way meaty and then there's

225
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: a turnoff at the yellow shit And as I'm driving down,

226
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: we come to the turn off and I hadn't really

227
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: mastered changing down the gear. I was still letting the

228
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: clutch off way too quickly. You know, you're supposed to

229
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: ease it back, and so I changed from fifth not

230
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 3: onto fourth, but I missed fourth, and I hooked second

231
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: gear and then let go of the clutch and the

232
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: back just locked up at one hundred k's yeah, truck

233
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: right up. Luckily we didn't. We didn't skid out. We

234
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: just skid it in a straight line and then sort

235
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: of came to a wrist where the speed sort of

236
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: matched the gear and I managed to take the corner.

237
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: But I left these two big, you know snakes along

238
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: the shoulder of the road, and this truck come fast

239
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: on the horn that.

240
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: What the fuck you?

241
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: I don't know how to change gears. We then got

242
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: to my house and went to turn into the driveway.

243
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: I was, you know, from a stop to go into

244
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: first and I still hadn't figured the clutch part out,

245
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: and I stilled like eight times top of the driveway

246
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: to the point where all the neighbors were standing in

247
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 3: their driveway watching me.

248
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: There's not very few people are learning and manuals. Now. Well,

249
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: back in the day you could you could actually set

250
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: your test in an auto and still drive a manual.

251
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: Now you're going to have a license for manual.

252
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: When I was coming through, you had to what if

253
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: you if you set your license in a manual, you

254
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: could drive an automatic yep. But if you set it

255
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: in automatic, you weren't allowed to drive.

256
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they changed that role because when I was growing up,

257
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: they you could sit it in an auto and still

258
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: drive a manual, which is insane.

259
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 3: So then the thing when I was like sixteen seventeen

260
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: was who's got a manual? Can I sit my license

261
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: in your car so that then I can drive anything?

262
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know what I mean.

263
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,359
Speaker 4: So we had an.

264
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: Army of Twitter Corolla hatchbats with sub buffers in the

265
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: back and they were all manual.

266
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a really hard. First time to have driven

267
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: one hundred kilometers an hour. It was to fail. It

268
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 4: was real baptism of fire.

269
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: So you've got to do that. If you're growing up

270
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 2: in towns around New Zealand, small towns in New Zealand,

271
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: you know how to drive a hundred because you're doing

272
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: a lot of.

273
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: That canavan across the bench.

274
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: I think it wasn't even a campa van. It wasn't

275
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: an oester. It was a Bongo brawny.

276
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't oyster, because yeah, you get the full

277
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: winds coming on the planes. But I don't know what

278
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: made him think that I could do that, because the

279
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 3: only other driving experience we'd had before that was I

280
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: drove up and down his street was in christ Church,

281
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: empty street.

282
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: There's none around you.

283
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: He goes, yeah, just practice parking next to the curb,

284
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: which is quite a hard thing to do when you're loading.

285
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: And so I went up onto the curb and almost

286
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: had a power pole and he ripped the handbrake up

287
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 3: on me. And so then the very next time he

288
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: was just like, ye, drive a hundred k's in the

289
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: van along the way.

290
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: Take you, bro. He's a trusting dad.

291
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: Do you remember the first time you drove one hundred

292
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 4: kilometers in now, Jerry?

293
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

294
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: I do. It's formative. The first Was it eventful?

295
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: Ah? You know what? I do remember it, But like

296
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 2: I feel like I'd done so much driving by the

297
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: time I got to that point. I mean I was

298
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: I was stealing my mum's car and when they would

299
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: go away and driving around the block, did you I

300
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: was one of those codes that at like fourteen, I

301
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: was ready to go.

302
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: My uncle used to when he was growing up, apparently

303
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: pushed the car out of the driveway onto the road

304
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 3: and then turn it on and drive off.

305
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. One day I stole my mum's car when

306
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: she was away. And when I say stop, borrowed, I

307
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: don't steal it, borrowed it without her knowing. And I

308
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: was cruising around, like around the block a couple of

309
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: times because like I was, you know, it was something

310
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: to do. You call it bared in those there was

311
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: no internet, Panani patrol you called it. And my grandma

312
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: came over and she just happened a time when mums

313
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: when I'm driven my mum's car out the driveway and

314
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: she was freaked. She's like, someone stolen the car. And

315
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: and then I arrived home and there she was and

316
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: she was like, man, she was not impressed till my mom.

317
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: I got grounded for ages for that. Yeah, it was bad.

318
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: No more driving for you.

319
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: I failed my Wriscent test three times when I was

320
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: getting my learner's license because well they only just started.

321
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: They only just started having the scratchy thing. Oh yeah,

322
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: that's right, they only just started that. And that sort

323
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: of threw me because I'm I'm not very good at

324
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: I'm not very good at multiple.

325
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: Choice because very good at scratching.

326
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: Well no, no, no, well no, I'm not great at scratching,

327
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: but I'm terrible at multiple choice because it makes me

328
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: doubt myself because generally in a multiple choice there's two

329
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: that there's the one answer, then there's the one that's

330
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: close to the answer, then there's a ridiculous one, and

331
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: then there's one in the middle of that, And so

332
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: completely through me, I was like, oh fuck, I'm going

333
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: to get this wrong. And then I did and I failed,

334
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: and then three times though, well so I failed it.

335
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: Hold on, you're saying that as if that's not the

336
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: point of a multiple choice test, like the tester is,

337
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: can you answer these questions?

338
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: I set up to fail because I was giving you

339
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: the answer. If you know the answer, you set up

340
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: to succeed.

341
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: It's essentially like being overserved, doesn't it. It's the same thing.

342
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: If you're not if you if you can, if you're

343
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: not even qualified to be able to answer a multiple

344
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 5: question like part of that is an IQ test, like

345
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 5: should we let this guy in behind the way.

346
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: So the one time you were dazzled by the fame,

347
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: there was a multi choice.

348
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then of course, then the next time, once

349
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: I was prepared, I came and absolutely nailed it, and

350
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: then I was so I was so excited from nailing

351
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: it that when you sit down for the oral test,

352
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: the oral test, because you have the reddin and then

353
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: you get oral afterwards, and yeah, I failed that one

354
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: as well because I was thrown by the facts Christians.

355
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: So at the time though, when they decided to make

356
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: it really, really hard so they could make lots of money.

357
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: Was that were you in that era? Because that was

358
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: that your Is that your era?

359
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 4: I think you're right here. I think it was actually

360
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: made really difficult on people like me in small town

361
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: New Zealand living.

362
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: Pretty easy for me.

363
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: And why man, Yeah, So you failed on oral twice

364
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: and then the third time.

365
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: Obviously got it.

366
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: Felt good to find and get that little bit of

367
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: paper and get able to drive. I was fine at driving,

368
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 4: apart from when I had my defensive driving course.

369
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: Or when they flashed the lights at you in different

370
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: colors and you had to figure out if you're allowed

371
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: to go or not.

372
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, it's in wayhi. So I went

373
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 4: nowhere near any kind of traffic light for a while

374
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 4: long time.

375
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: I sat mine in a nineteen eighty six hold In

376
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Gemini with LPG and that thing had talk about gutless

377
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: your flora and I it's just fun. You literally couldn't.

378
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: It was the most Gartler's car I think. I think

379
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: it was a one point six LPG. Do you know

380
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: how gless that thing is? Like? Man, maybe it was

381
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: an Izuzu Gemini.

382
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna just I'm gonna put it. I'm going to

383
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: copy and paste a photo of my first car into

384
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 3: the bottom of the dock. I'll show you what that was.

385
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: It was a five speed manual plus reverse Hyundai Stella Stella.

386
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: That that was the hatchbag?

387
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 5: Is it?

388
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: No?

389
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 4: One?

390
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: And it was, Oh my god, that's an ugly car.

391
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: It was colloquially known as the Stallion. It had a

392
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 3: cracked head on it, I think from when I bought it.

393
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: But I still drove that bitch up and down the country.

394
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: What color did you run? Because that one there is kind.

395
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 2: Of I called it gold.

396
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: I called it gold it was that color but brown.

397
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: Mine was faded. It was definitely brown, but I called

398
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: it gold. This thing in the back seat was Lap

399
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: of Luxury. The back seat had you know, the middle

400
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 3: thing that folded down, but that I think they had

401
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: two separate ones for each one separate one for each seat,

402
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: and then a light in the back behind your head

403
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: on the door side that you could turn offer on

404
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: yourself if you're in the back seat. It was the

405
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: Lap of Luxury. It handled like a fucking boat, like

406
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 3: it lurched around. It was a nightmarish car to drive

407
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: up and down State Highway one. But yeah, that was

408
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: my first cart. I'm failed a wow failed a wof

409
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: because I installed two six by nine speakers in the back,

410
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: but I didn't screw them into the into the like

411
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: what do you call that the back dashboard? Oh yeah,
