1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Quest.

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: Flaying the song for the Montague Street Bridge because despite

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: repeated attacks, it is still there. I reckon it's the

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: toughest bridge in the world. How many people have driven

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: into it just this year alone. We started this year

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: with the kind of Montagu Street Bridge bingo because I

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: think we got to like February March and it hadn't

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: been hit, which is quite rare.

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: It was on its longest streak ever, I think at

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: ninety three days. That was the start of the year.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: And then once the once the first come.

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Roger Banister in the four minute mile every year. Once

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: that it's like open season. No.

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: Since then, it's been hit sixteen times, and the most

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: recent one was yesterday.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Incredible, isn't it.

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: You won yesterday. I mean sometimes you see it and

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: it's like a delivery van or a removalless truck and

20
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: it is just scraped through this guy yesterday in a

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: cement mixer is a meter off. There is no chair

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: he's ever gonna make it.

23
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: And also, if you're driving a cement mixer right, you're

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: fully aware that's a big ass truck behind you. It's

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: a cement mix, so they're huge.

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: It's moving. Yeah, it's trying to remind you all the time.

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: I'm on, I'm here right now.

28
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Any bridge you need to like plan ahead, don't you?

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: And then wait? You know full well everyone knows if

30
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: drive around this city, wait, watch out for Montague Street bridge.

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: He's rammed. It looks actually he's wedged under there. It

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: looks like they built the bridge on top of his truck,

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: like it's just landed down on top of it. He's

34
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: so under there, perfectly wedged.

35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: It looks like he's trying to get halfway through and

36
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: then gone, all right, well I'm halfway through, so maybe

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: I can just keep pushing and see what happens.

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy because

39
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: that's someone's Monday. You know, we can have a lot

40
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: out here, but that is someone's starting the week. What

41
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: do you do? Is there a special number you call?

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: There is a dedicated you've hit me, there's all this number.

43
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: There's a special sign that lives up there now that

44
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: says call this number if any incidents with the bridge

45
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: and do you reckon.

46
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: It's like someone's job, or it's their side job. Where

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: They've got a little number that flashes only good guys,

48
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: another one sixteen who have sweet sixteen in a sweet

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: steak and someone's winning something. It's a remarkable story and

50
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: a great photo. Sick in this morning. When I first

51
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: moved to Australia, I suddenly realize everyone likes to say

52
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: shit be right. And it's a very nice kind of

53
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: thing for not overthinking, not over worry.

54
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it works for so many situations.

55
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Should be right, yeah, and for you know, people in

56
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: my country are quite uptight people. It's a nice way

57
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: to sort of down regulate a bit and take it

58
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: easy and chet out a bit here in Australia. But

59
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: sometimes in life you do need to you do need

60
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: to plan, you need to calculate, you need to think ahead.

61
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: And actually it's not right. She'll be right. There must

62
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: be stories like that guy probably thought she'd be right.

63
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the cement mixer under Montague Street Bridge.

64
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's wedged under, he's hammered into it, he's smashed

65
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: into it. We're looking for stories this morning on nine

66
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: four one four one o four three, When wasn't she

67
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: all right? Okay, there's got to be moments in life,

68
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: We're like, do you know what I have under calculated

69
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: over optimistic? Turns out she wasn't all right?

70
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I use my mantra right and I was wrong.

71
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, she wasn't all right. We're looking for those stories

72
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: when you miscalculated, you didn't think it through enough. What

73
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: is your version of being wedged under the Montague Street

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Bridge on a Monday The Christian O'Connell show podcast. We're

75
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: looking for this morning stories, the other side of shitby

76
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: al right when she she actually wasn't right. You really

77
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: should have actually why I thought it through? You were

78
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: too optimistic, You didn't calculate, You just thought it'd be okay.

79
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: You were too blase. A suddenly, hindsight puts to the

80
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: other side of Shibby right when she wasn't right. The

81
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: story's don't need to be about Vicker's being wedged in anything.

82
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: It can be anything that's happened where suddenly you're I

83
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: really didn't think that through. That's most of us in

84
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: the show, isn't it, Ashley, Jenny.

85
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: Good morning for mine, Christian, how are you?

86
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm good, Jenny, Thanks for cool on the show. So

87
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: what is your story for she won't be right.

88
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: Well, I've borrowed my cousin's Powell drive like a troop terrier,

89
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: which is not higher than a normal cart, so I

90
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: borrowed it. This Diana had a shitty day at work

91
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: and I was on the way home and forgot about

92
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: the car port and went to drive under the car

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: port and bang pushed the roof in.

94
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a bad day is even drive worse now,

95
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: isn't it. She won't be right?

96
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: And my kids were there trying to push the roof

97
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: back out with their feature and now ex husband, he

98
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 4: just laughed, he just laughs.

99
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, Jenny, thank you very much. She called,

100
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: let's go to Meck morning.

101
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: Mick, Hey Chrisson, how are young mate?

102
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm good, Mix. So what's your story for she won't

103
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: be right? Well?

104
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: Look, I was delivering white road marking paint, one of

105
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: my jobs on the Gold Coast when I was in

106
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: my team, and I put more more paint in the

107
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: van than anyone had ever put in before. And I

108
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: was going up a pretty steep hill, chugging up at

109
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: about forty kilometers an hour, and as I was watching

110
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: in the mirror, one of them started to rock and

111
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: I bounce back and forward, then I sided to roll

112
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: towards the back of the van, smashed the back door,

113
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: and I all this thing. I saw it go end

114
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: over end in slow motion in my head and then

115
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: exploded on the road. And this white road marking paint

116
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: drives in about five minutes.

117
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Of course, that is amazing.

118
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: And it's designed to stay stuck to the road forever.

119
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm certain it's still there to that.

120
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: The key part of that is what are they giving

121
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: all that responsibility, you know, to a teenager to do

122
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: as well?

123
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Well, what could possibly go wrong? All I had to

124
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: do was deliberate.

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: That's a great well met. Thank you very much, your

126
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,680
