0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Why did You Stop Traffic? Craig was doing groundwork for

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>a railway and noticing a kidnea walking down the track.

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Stop the train. Well, you can't just stop a train

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>because they can't just like tap the brakes go whoa trains?

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Take a car to stop down they traveling a little

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>bit of speed. Just run a kidnap, Alex, Hi, why

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>did you stop traffic?

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, this was actually my father, so he stopped the

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 2>train and cars because he wanted to pick up a

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>dollar coin from the train track.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but for people like that, they should be

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>allowed to get a little nuts on the trams to

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>come off. Spot that. Hang on a second, there was more.

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't actually retrieve it, so he went back to

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the car and got a screwdriver and he was kicking

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>it out and the trams were ringing the well and

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the cars were cheating.

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>So funny. I need that one day I might need

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 1>to have to get that trolley out of cols.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>You never know when you're going to need a watch.

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>You're right, You're right, yes, yes, Alex, great story, Thank

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you very much. Good to Judy now, Judy, why did

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you stop traffic?

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 3>I stopped traffic because I was in labor. I've seen

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 3>to the hospital to have an appointment to see how

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 3>the pregnancy was going, and they said to me, look,

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 3>go for a walk, you're very close. I went for

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 3>a walk to get a feed for lunch, and I

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 3>went into label while I was sitting there having lunch.

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 3>So I was walking back to the hospital and the

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 3>contractions really ramped up, and I was walking back to

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 3>every busy intersection and my mom and my husband had

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>their hands out and was stopping traffic because I couldn't move.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought you said they were going to have the

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>hands out, not trying to catch the bacay. That's a

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of light. That's a lot going on the lights.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 3>I had to stop every like five steps, and my

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 3>mum was flailing her arms around waving her background people

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 3>to stop, and women in labor bent over in the

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 3>middle of a busy intersection.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>This is incredible. So where where did that? Where did you?

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Where did the baby come? In the end? Did you

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>actually get to hospital?

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Years I did, and he came nine hours later. Because

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 3>as soon as I got to.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>The hospital, Judy, thank you very much your story, mate,

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it's very funny.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 4>So I was driving back to my parents to go

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>and ride my own horse, and I turned down one

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 4>of the busy intersections and I saw a car trying

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 4>to herd a loose horse off the road. So I

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>pulled over and said, you probably shouldn't be doing that.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I said, let me have a guy, I'll say fucking

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 4>catch it. I went ultra in my car. I had

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 4>no ropes or anything, so I took my shirt off,

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 4>stood in the middle of the road, caught the horse,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 4>stopped the traffic so I could get into a driveway,

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 4>and waiting for the police to come and help me.

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow, a story horse whispering shirtless around your shirt around

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the horse's neck like a lassuit. Yes, I know you're

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>doing some kind of striped tease or something for the horse,

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like okay, you're coming with me, like we're going to have.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:08.519
<v Speaker 5>So Yeah.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it quite the same effective me

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>or chat? Did it that? Sorry? Not moving anywhere?

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, the traffic definitely stopped for a good ten minutes,

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 4>so it worked out quite well.

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>This is incredible, What an amazing story. What great thinking

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>as well. Bury.

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I had really nothing else to you, So

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 4>I needed to get the horse off the road. So

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 4>the first thing you do is, I suppose I read

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 4>a story about a lady taking her bra off, but

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't that game.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah there's levels, isn't it that you go to won't

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>go to everyone's got the line in the sand. And

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>also so the guy thought you could wrangle the horses

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>using your car.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 4>It was so bad. I didn't actually realize what he

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 4>was doing until I saw the horse trying jump over

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 4>his car, and I was like, oh no, even.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Kind a western movie. It's his cowboys and cars out

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>there the place, And I made that movie Cowboys and

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Cars stuff next season. Pretty love, very funny story. Thank

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you very much. The Christian O'Connell show podcast asking you

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>right now, why did you stop the traffic? How are you, Sam?

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm really good. I'm just on my way to work

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 5>and I've just pulled over and sitting in the emergency

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 5>lane while I talk to you lovely people.

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you very much, Sam. And why do you

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>stop traffic other than in saturny emergency lane right now?

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 5>Well, it wasn't I that stopped the traffic. It was

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 5>my grandfather. It was about thirty five years ago before

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 5>I was born, and it's a story that's been passed

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 5>down through my whole childhood. And my grandfather went to

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 5>go watch his mighty Colin Wood at the G's to

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 5>win their football game. Wasn't a grand final, it's just

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 5>a regular game. And unfortunately he put Flinders Street into

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 5>a gridlock when he had a heart attack on the tram.

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, poor guy, what had they won? And

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he was shocked or no, he was I'm just so happy.

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 5>It was a wonderful way to well. Unfortunately for all

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 5>your listeners out there, he did pass away on the tram,

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 5>but we look at it as such a happy occasion

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 5>because he got to see the football team win.

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know they say tragedy plus time, but

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>this is still quite quite a story about your poor,

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>your poor granddad.

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 5>Well he was well until his seventies.

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter. I mean, that's only two years of Patsy.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, we can't wish her off, like you're time

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to go, you've anti time, you're seventy, so go.

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no, Patsy off, you go off.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 4>You go.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>To illustrate that, you know, I just I'm just showing

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>more compassion than in your family member. No, no, no,

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a misunderstanding. The show's age fifty one, No proper

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 1>age fifty one, thank you very much. Fifty papers. Bring

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>some papers in a ca because it's not an honest

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty one if you ask me. But anyway, let's just

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>go back to poor old grandad on the tram who's

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>just had a heart attack. He died on the tram.

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 5>He did, he did actually die on the trams.

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 5>Put Flinders Street into a gridlock when that to get

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 5>all the ambulance was out. It was right out in

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 5>front of the station on Flinders Street, so no traffic

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 5>could move it all until they cleared one everyone off

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 5>the tram, who administered medical attention, and then three took

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 5>him away. He was well into his late seventies when

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.640
