1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells show podcast.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Let's get into this week's eight as that of the nineties,

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff invented. The Mac came along, you

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: remember Mac, the big old colorful one. We came along

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: in the nineties, as did something we do every single

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: day now various forms, whether you got your WhatsApp groups,

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: but originally it was SMS. Texting started in the nineties.

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: I remember when I don't think it first came onto

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: a radio show. I did. I was one of the

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: first radio shows in the UK to try it to

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: see if it would work, and I think it was

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: about two thousand and two thousand and one. I remember

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: it being such a game changer. I was so excited

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: because normally it was phone call or basically an email

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: which people didn't really stall email radio shows, techine yes,

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: a fact machine sometimes or a letter which would take

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: ages to arrive. But texting, so I thought to celebrate texting.

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: Just send on to us. Then the last text, the

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: top text on your phone, no explanation, whatever it says,

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: send it on to our text number. Put this in

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: your phone, by the way, because whenever you want to

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: text something into the show you might not have time

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: to listen to the next time, I'm going to say

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: what it is, Just put my text number in your

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: phone so you can just text me whenever you want

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: O four seven five three one O four three. But yeah,

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: send onto us them the text that there's the top

00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: on your phone. Mine simply says get the burnt caramel

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: and the vanilla one. So no explanation. These are text

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: messages listeners have sent to us. First one on your

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: Every week on the show, we're breaking apart the grade

201
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: decade that was the nineties. This week it's all about

202
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: the letter L. For me in the nineties, the letter

203
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: L meant license plate, passing, my drive and test second

204
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: time round for me, did you a saying? I remember

205
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: my drive instructor Diamond Dave, that was his company was

206
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: called Diamond Dave, Diamond Dave Parker, and I remember saying,

207
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: all the best drivers, all the best drivers always fail

208
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: first time round. There was a big Formula One drive

209
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: at the time. Nigel Mansell, who had also failed his driver.

210
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: It says, first time round, if your Formula one driver,

211
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: you probably have failed it driving expectence like that. What

212
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: did you feill for, Patsy?

213
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: Well, I went for my l plates, which was at

214
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: the time strictly just theory, and I think I was

215
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: and you know what, the sad thing it was all

216
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: multiple choice like you know, pick ABC or D and

217
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: I still failed, so I had to see a second time.

218
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: Finally got my l's. You didn't even get like a

219
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: photo id back then. Here Now you got like this

220
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: check sized sort of slip of pink paper.

221
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: Actually the same as me, Pats, Yeah, you're right, never

222
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 2: had the photo. I think it was like an E

223
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: four like folded up like in three bits. You're right.

224
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: You have to lug it around with you everywhere, that

225
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: little wallet, didn't you.

226
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

227
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 4: And then the peace I had sort of improved quite rapidly.

228
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: Mum and Dad invested in driving lessons. I went with

229
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 4: Angelo and Lucy.

230
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: It was a brother I remember who took to drive

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: what like I said, Diamond Dave for me and Angelo

232
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: and Lucy. You see that husband and wife.

233
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: No, they were a brother and sister team in Yeah,

234
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 4: they're probably still.

235
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: Doing driving at the same time. It's double teaming.

236
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: You you get either or And I think I got

237
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: like ninety eight percent on my Pea plates and I'm like,

238
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: I nailed the parallel park first time.

239
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 2: Is a top gun academy, Yes, Angela and Lucy. I

240
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: wonder they stood up there now, Angelo and Lucy teaching people.

241
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: I am it was because my daughter, she's taken her

242
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: test in July. I didn't realize in this country there

243
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 2: are a couple of things about five different areas where

244
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 2: it's an immediate fel. You don't have that in the UK.

245
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: It's quite cruel. You'll know, you know, if you screwed

246
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: it up right during the test, you still have to

247
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: do the whole hour, even though at the end of

248
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: it they go, yeah, that was great and you felt

249
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: as all waste of an hour, why don't we just

250
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: go back right now? But you get immediate fils. Don't

251
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: you work here? Which is really really harsh. Okay, this

252
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: morning there, we want to know what happened on your

253
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160

265
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: exam leaning as far away as possible and try not

266
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400

268
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: my test. I hit accelerate too hard, so the wheels

269
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: were spinning, and my examiner immediately slammed on the emergency

270
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: of brakes, which forced my head to bash against the

271
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: steering whell. I obviously failed, Christy, this is an amazing scene,

272
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,160

273
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,960

Speaker 2: At the end of the test he had passed. My

280
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 2: sister faults over the threshold for failure. The guy in

281
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: the bag was not impressed. So my sister passed to

282
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000

00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 6: So I went again. About three weeks later, I reseat

314
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 6: the test. I thought, oh, I'm really confident this time.

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 6: I think I'm going to do do well. So I

316
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 6: went down to Big Roads and did my test and

317
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 6: passed with flying colors. However, when I left the Big

318
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: Roads station, I kind of like drove down the road

319
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 6: and I thought, this is odd. How come all the

320
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 6: traffic is coming in my direction?

321
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: That is odd. That is a bit odd, isn't it.

322
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 7: I was on the wrong another one of.

323
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: Your kind of light moments, kind of like went through

324
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: a stop signing, kind of like went that into the

325
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: oncoming traffic.

326
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 6: And I'm sorry. Victoria Police, if you're listening and my listen,

327
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 6: it's thirty years ago.

328
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: You're still on their watch list.

329
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 8: Leah, thank you.

330
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: Leah, thank you very much. Give us a call and

331
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,560

332
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: your team as well. And to what happened on your

333
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: driving test, well we go back.

334
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 7: To nineteen ninety five. I did buy driving test around

335
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 7: the streets or broad meadows. So about halfway through the test,

336
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 7: the driving straptorre goes pull up beside this car and

337
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 7: do your reverse parking. So as I started to reverse part,

338
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 7: there was about three blokes at the on the sidewalk.

339
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you've got an audience.

340
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: That nightmare had a bit of an audience.

341
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 7: The best thing is they had stubbings in the head cheering.

342
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: Me on, grab a beer, come watch the show.

343
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so I know the reverse parking. They gave

344
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 7: you a big, big cheer.

345
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: Votes are in, yeah so yeah.

346
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 7: But my driving instruction was a bit of a character

347
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 7: so it wouldn't surprise me if you've seen them here

348
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 7: in the top. That's when you told me torough first park.

349
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: I reckon they should do this in all driving tests.

350
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: They should hire out of work actors, former people right

351
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: from blue healers to play trade is going left.

352
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 5: With people driving them. I will avoid doing reverse pike.

353
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 5: I would drive so far away from where we need

354
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 5: to be.

355
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: Nothing right. It's the best thing in the day, the

356
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: best thing in the king of the drive. If you
