1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: I like the idea of being a hitchhiker. I like

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: the idea of being hobo cruising around getting free lifts

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: from it.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: There was a time when everyone hitchhiked, and then there

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: was some grizzly murders and everyone stopped.

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: That kind of ruined it for around. I think it's

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: probably safety hike.

9
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: Now.

10
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: You don't see hitchhikers around anymore. I saw a guy

11
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: probably about six months ago, you know, just with his

12
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: finger out.

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: My finger.

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: But I just thought, you know, maybe it's a thing

15
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: because we're very vigilant these days about stuff.

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: We are trusted that I haven't driven into state or

17
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: anything recently, so maybe people are still doing it.

18
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: There's a guy he's at Nambukaheads and he's got to

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: get home to Coffs Harbor, which is about forty k's

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: and he's had a few drinks and he's thought, well,

21
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: it's going to cost me a fair bit of an

22
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: uber to get home to Coughs. And he sees a

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: B double parked in a little laid by area.

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: So ask the driver if he can hit you right,

25
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: I'll be.

26
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Double, big big truck, two trailers, and so no he

27
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: doesn't ask the hit you right? Why not? He climbs

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: underneath where the spare tire is and all the metal

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: railings for the truck are, and he thinks, okay.

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: This is He goes underneath the truck.

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Goes underneath the truck and thinks, well, this guy is

32
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: going to go naan Bucka and naturally he's going to

33
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: stop for Coffs Harbor because there's traffic lights in Coughs

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: Harbor and there's a good chance that you'll stop at

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: a traffic light and he'll get out.

36
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: So it doesn't ask the driver if you can get

37
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: a lift. He goes like Cape Fierstar's holding on his fingers.

38
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: And he's not after vengeance. He's just to tired us.

39
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to spend any money.

40
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: So he's underneath the truck thinking, I'll recognize when I

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: get to Coughs and I'll get out.

42
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: I'll get off when he stops at the traffic light.

43
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Problem is it's the middle of the night and the

44
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: truck he's had a great run of green through Coffs Harbor.

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: So how many k's do you think this guy traveled?

46
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Hanging on underneath, So he's trying to go forty k's

47
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: going one hundred.

48
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: Four hundred, four hundred ks n. And then the truck.

49
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: He when the sun came up the truck, he's driving

50
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: along and lived in his mirror and saw something flapping

51
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 2: around and it was the guy's jacket, and what's that?

52
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: Pulls over and there's this guy. So he dropped the

53
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: guy for the police station, and the guy got fined

54
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty eight dollars because you're allowed to

55
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: do that? Wow? Was he?

56
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: Would it to be terrifying?

57
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, had to be dreadful. It would be dreadful.

58
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: And presumably he didn't. The driver didn't stop any other time.

59
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: No, No, Once you fill those things up with diesel,

60
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: they can go forever. They can go for about eight

61
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: hundred k's.

62
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: What a story. So this was to show to save

63
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: a forty K trip in an uber yep?

64
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, wow, Well I guess you don't have the conversation.

65
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: Has you night been?

66
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: You know, Rather than talk to him, I'll go under

67
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: the truck and hold on
