<v Speaker 4>Catherine, Good morning Christian.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 5>I got super stuck when I impaled my car on

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 5>a wheelly bin.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Amazing. I got ahead the story. What happened.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 5>When I was eighteen. I was living at home and

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 5>I was driving a Madda three two three station wagon

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 5>and lots of cars at home, so I had to

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 5>park on the front lawn, which was on quite a hill,

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.119
<v Speaker 5>and I was racing out to go to a club

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 5>one night. Jumped in my car, didn't realize it was midnight,

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 5>and reversed at speed and backed over a wheelly bin

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 5>and got the back the wheels of the wheelly bin

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 5>wedged up underneath the bumper of my car.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Wow, So it was kind of.

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 5>Dangling in mid air, like raining down. I'm wedged on

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 5>the top of his bin. I card three wheel drive,

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 5>so I can't go forward, I can't go back, and

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm just going what the heck? So I raced inside

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 5>to ask my dad for help. And I've done a

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 5>few things like this, so he's just like, oh, what

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 5>have you done? Now? Darling comes out and has a

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 5>look and he just he's like oh, and he just

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 5>shakes his head and looks at me and goes back inside.

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 5>So we had to call it Mate with like a

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 5>crane or anything on his truck to come and get

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 5>the car off in the morning.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Mate with a crane on the back of his truck.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I wish we all had that mate, and

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I'll go to contact my mate Bob Brackets with the crane.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.200

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 8>It was actually aware prints. They misread the so they

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 8>were checking the temperature on the fridge and it was

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 8>meant to be one point two degrees it was actually

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 8>twelve degrees.

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Even you know, I mean, I'm no expert on degrees.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>But that does seem quite a bit off to me.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:47.240

<v Speaker 6>David, Good morning, Good morning, Christian, Hey game, I'm.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Good David, welcome to the show. Thanks for calling.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 3>And so how much can you raise us eight thousand

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 3>dollars worth of damage to your company?

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 6>I think I got that covered, Mike gone back in

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 6>the eighties, always many Adrian Hillard Packard's warehouse where all

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 6>this stuff used to come in from Australia. They had

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 6>a computer which was top heavy and I had to

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 6>move it from one from one storage room to another

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 6>with a with the fourth lift. Now the computer was

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 6>worth about fifty to sixty grand and on one side

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 6>of the skid there was a polystyrene mission. So when

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 6>it was top heavy, I went around the corner and

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 6>it fell over and broke one of the internal parts,

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 6>so that sort of stuffed them up for a little while,

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 6>and they had to wait for another part to come

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 6>in from Mexico. When they sent a party from Mexico,

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 6>waited about one hundred grands and it was sitting on

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 6>top of the palette and I was driving the fourth

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 6>lift and it flew off the palette straight underneath the

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 6>tire and there goes the fifteen thousand dollars replacement part

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 6>and another six months for one to come back in.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>This is unbelievable.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why did they keep letting you do this

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>as well? Old changers? Dave on the fourth lift, and

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 3>this is you know, young kids listening, this is how

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 3>heavy computers used to be. Do you want to move

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 3>a computer now what you put in your backpack? You

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 3>used to have to get a forklift truck to actually

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 3>move a top heavy computer.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine. That's why top heavy anymore.

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 6>The center remedy is right down the bottom, David, And

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 6>he said, he said it was so heavy, yet the

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 6>wind blew it off.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, that's right.

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Well, the replacement part come in a package which

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 6>was about one hundred grams, you know, maybe two hundred

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 6>grams for the other or actually come. But back in

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 6>those days the computers used to be eight meg, so

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 6>your home personal computers used to be eight meg. Your

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 6>phone's about two hundred and seven.

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Amazing, David, thank you very much and cool.

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 3>I've cost my company money and like Catherine West, I

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 3>can't west on the Willibins.

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.840

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 7>Finally I filled up the trolley which was sort of

<v Speaker 4>and the rest was like dominoes.

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my word, at least you're at the smash repairs already.

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Those cars though, I mean the handmade those cars. What

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>was the cost of the damage.

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 4>A two hundred pound Oh yeah, it'd be more than that.

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.559
<v Speaker 2>They're about three or four hundred thousand each those cars.

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>It's almost a million dollars worth of damage. That is incredible.

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you even just go home? Then straight away?

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 3>You don't even apologize, just get out of there. I mean,

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 3>what can you say?

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.200
