00:00:39,043 --> 00:00:41,644
Speaker 1: in South Korea who took a while to get a

8
00:00:41,684 --> 00:00:43,484
Speaker 1: driver's license. I'll tell you about her in a minute,

9
00:00:43,484 --> 00:00:46,364
Speaker 1: but let's ask the question of you, Brendan, did you

10
00:00:46,404 --> 00:00:47,604
Speaker 1: get your car license?

11
00:00:47,644 --> 00:00:50,163
Speaker 2: First? Go? First Go? And I had to go and

12
00:00:50,204 --> 00:00:52,644
Speaker 2: see a guy called Hitler. He was called they called

13
00:00:52,724 --> 00:00:53,164
Speaker 2: him Hitler.

14
00:00:53,884 --> 00:00:54,964
Speaker 1: Did you have to go to Germany?

15
00:00:55,044 --> 00:00:58,084
Speaker 2: No? No, he was at the local registry. He's playing golf.

16
00:00:58,124 --> 00:00:58,844
Speaker 1: Who's in a bunker.

17
00:00:58,964 --> 00:01:01,524
Speaker 2: But he really looked like Hitler and he leant into it.

18
00:01:01,524 --> 00:01:03,444
Speaker 2: He had the mole and everything. I think he was

19
00:01:03,524 --> 00:01:05,124
Speaker 2: like full on into it.

20
00:01:05,724 --> 00:01:08,004
Speaker 1: And when you went to see him, meaning you didn't

21
00:01:08,044 --> 00:01:08,924
Speaker 1: have to drive.

22
00:01:09,724 --> 00:01:11,764
Speaker 3: My dad took me up there, and my dad used

23
00:01:11,804 --> 00:01:14,484
Speaker 3: to have this old jag before you go were Richie.

24
00:01:14,604 --> 00:01:16,964
Speaker 2: It was a real heap of shit jag.

25
00:01:17,484 --> 00:01:20,124
Speaker 3: And it was full of rust and two of the

26
00:01:20,203 --> 00:01:25,844
Speaker 3: three engine mounts were cracked. Well, I learned to drive

27
00:01:26,084 --> 00:01:29,964
Speaker 3: in his Toyota Hia's van, which was a column shift manual.

28
00:01:30,284 --> 00:01:32,124
Speaker 3: So that taught me a lot of things about reverse

29
00:01:32,164 --> 00:01:34,203
Speaker 3: parking and all that. But we thought, well, let's not

30
00:01:34,284 --> 00:01:36,643
Speaker 3: take that for the test. That's a bit ambitious. Let's

31
00:01:36,644 --> 00:01:38,724
Speaker 3: take the old man's jag with two of the three

32
00:01:38,804 --> 00:01:41,364
Speaker 3: engine mounts cracked. So he went around a corner the

33
00:01:41,404 --> 00:01:45,644
Speaker 3: whole engine shifted in the front. But anyway, Hitler passed

34
00:01:45,644 --> 00:01:46,684
Speaker 3: me and he was happy.

35
00:01:46,724 --> 00:01:48,404
Speaker 1: So did Hitler sit in the car next to you?

36
00:01:49,204 --> 00:01:51,804
Speaker 2: I sat in the back. He thought, I was Gebels.

37
00:01:52,844 --> 00:01:53,884
Speaker 2: Well take my tank.

38
00:01:54,684 --> 00:01:58,364
Speaker 1: Because there were some people who if they grew up

39
00:01:58,364 --> 00:02:00,404
Speaker 1: in country towns or whatever. I've got a friend who

40
00:02:01,244 --> 00:02:03,644
Speaker 1: who drove his friend. He didn't have his own license,

41
00:02:03,644 --> 00:02:06,644
Speaker 1: but he drove his friend to the police station and

42
00:02:06,684 --> 00:02:08,564
Speaker 1: the guy the policeman just said okay, and he went

43
00:02:08,564 --> 00:02:10,124
Speaker 1: around the lock and said you've got it. And then

44
00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:12,084
Speaker 1: the guy who drove him in said, well, I better

45
00:02:12,124 --> 00:02:14,124
Speaker 1: get mine. He said, do you drive like him? He

46
00:02:14,124 --> 00:02:15,684
Speaker 1: said yeah, and he said okay, he's yours.

47
00:02:15,964 --> 00:02:18,844
Speaker 3: Well, my mate the scamp when he got his pea plates,

48
00:02:19,204 --> 00:02:21,643
Speaker 3: a copper mate of the family said give me a

49
00:02:21,684 --> 00:02:22,564
Speaker 3: pea plate license.

50
00:02:22,603 --> 00:02:24,124
Speaker 2: You know this is back in the days when they're

51
00:02:24,124 --> 00:02:24,603
Speaker 2: on paper.

52
00:02:25,043 --> 00:02:27,243
Speaker 3: And he said right, and he wrote and this guy

53
00:02:27,324 --> 00:02:30,204
Speaker 3: was a sergeant, wrote his name and a phone numb

54
00:02:30,444 --> 00:02:33,924
Speaker 3: and he said, if you get pulled up, hand this over. No.

55
00:02:34,483 --> 00:02:37,404
Speaker 3: And he had to get out of town hst holding

56
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:41,323
Speaker 3: the eight big thing with massive big re attires and

57
00:02:41,444 --> 00:02:43,604
Speaker 3: a massive big V eight engine and.

58
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:45,124
Speaker 2: The coppers had pull him up because he was on

59
00:02:45,163 --> 00:02:46,124
Speaker 2: his red peas.

60
00:02:46,084 --> 00:02:48,364
Speaker 1: And he'd had a piece of paper that said don't touch.

61
00:02:48,244 --> 00:02:50,244
Speaker 2: Me, and they just got yeah, nowhere's mate, carry on.

62
00:02:50,363 --> 00:02:52,644
Speaker 1: Wow. What about this woman in South Korea? I'm going

63
00:02:52,684 --> 00:02:55,244
Speaker 1: to tell you she spent fourteen thousand dollars on driving

64
00:02:55,284 --> 00:02:58,204
Speaker 1: lessons over fifteen years because it took her that long

65
00:02:58,204 --> 00:03:01,244
Speaker 1: to get her license. She had nine hundred and sixty

66
00:03:01,324 --> 00:03:04,564
Speaker 1: attempts at a driving license, she said, a Guinness World record.

67
00:03:04,603 --> 00:03:08,164
Speaker 2: Who she must be thrilled, that would be if she

68
00:03:08,244 --> 00:03:10,684
Speaker 2: did it once. I'll give you the stats.

69
00:03:10,803 --> 00:03:11,804
Speaker 1: I know you can't do the.

70
00:03:11,764 --> 00:03:14,284
Speaker 2: Mass mortal nine hundred six.

71
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:15,404
Speaker 1: She's highlander.

72
00:03:15,644 --> 00:03:17,524
Speaker 2: No she did it. I'll give you the stats.

73
00:03:18,244 --> 00:03:20,124
Speaker 1: She didn't start learning to drive until she was in

74
00:03:20,163 --> 00:03:22,484
Speaker 1: her sixties, because she says she was too busy raising

75
00:03:22,483 --> 00:03:23,084
Speaker 1: her children.

76
00:03:23,404 --> 00:03:24,844
Speaker 2: She's only got four and.

77
00:03:24,764 --> 00:03:27,004
Speaker 1: She started at her sixties. I have to pick them

78
00:03:27,084 --> 00:03:31,083
Speaker 1: up from their jobs every day. Anyway, she said there

79
00:03:31,124 --> 00:03:33,484
Speaker 1: was a theory test first of all that she didn't

80
00:03:33,483 --> 00:03:35,563
Speaker 1: pass and kept doing that. Obviously the practical so let's

81
00:03:35,564 --> 00:03:36,644
Speaker 1: break down the mats here.

82
00:03:37,164 --> 00:03:39,164
Speaker 2: So she's not nine hundred and sixty eight years old.

83
00:03:39,284 --> 00:03:43,484
Speaker 1: She did the equivalent of an exam every day, five

84
00:03:43,604 --> 00:03:48,484
Speaker 1: days a week over three years. Wow, that's the equivalency

85
00:03:48,484 --> 00:03:51,284
Speaker 1: of what she did. So she spent fifteen years doing it.

86
00:03:51,324 --> 00:03:54,444
Speaker 1: But if you've boiled it down, that's what it took.

87
00:03:55,204 --> 00:03:58,924
Speaker 1: And she's become a national hero. She's been given a car,

88
00:04:00,164 --> 00:04:02,764
Speaker 1: and she's been called a woman of determination, and she.

89
00:04:03,164 --> 00:04:07,124
Speaker 2: Over a car. You know what a terrible thing. She's

90
00:04:07,124 --> 00:04:08,484
Speaker 2: a terrible driver. And she gets a.

91
00:04:08,484 --> 00:04:11,764
Speaker 1: Cat worries me. Is everyone goes, yeah, you're finally here.

92
00:04:12,004 --> 00:04:14,604
Speaker 1: There are some there is a reason who should never

93
00:04:14,724 --> 00:04:15,444
Speaker 1: be on the road.

94
00:04:15,604 --> 00:04:18,444
Speaker 2: You're a late bloomer. I was. I was a car driving.

95
00:04:18,524 --> 00:04:20,724
Speaker 1: I was in my late twenty was it probably twenty

96
00:04:20,764 --> 00:04:23,164
Speaker 1: seven when I got my driver's license. I was traveling

00:04:23,204 --> 00:04:26,124
Speaker 1: the world with tell beyond two thousand driving. I drove

98
00:04:26,124 --> 00:04:28,244
Speaker 1: a car in New York, but didn't have a driver's license.

99
00:04:28,404 --> 00:04:29,724
Speaker 1: I did have a piece of paper that said, if

100
00:04:29,724 --> 00:04:33,484
Speaker 1: I get pulled over to talk to Scamp's friends, the superintendent.

101
00:04:33,764 --> 00:04:35,764
Speaker 2: And you're a late bloomer, and other things as well.

102
00:04:36,324 --> 00:04:37,044
Speaker 1: Very amusing.
