Speaker 1: Quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Flaying the song for the Montague Street Bridge because despite
Speaker 1: repeated attacks, it is still there. I reckon it's the
Speaker 1: toughest bridge in the world. How many people have driven
Speaker 1: into it just this year alone. We started this year
Speaker 1: with the kind of Montagu Street Bridge bingo because I
Speaker 1: think we got to like February March and it hadn't
Speaker 1: been hit, which is quite rare.
Speaker 3: It was on its longest streak ever, I think at
Speaker 3: ninety three days. That was the start of the year.
Speaker 3: And then once the once the first come.
Speaker 1: Roger Banister in the four minute mile every year. Once
Speaker 1: that it's like open season. No.
Speaker 3: Since then, it's been hit sixteen times, and the most
Speaker 3: recent one was yesterday.
Speaker 1: Incredible, isn't it.
Speaker 3: You won yesterday. I mean sometimes you see it and
Speaker 3: it's like a delivery van or a removalless truck and
Speaker 3: it is just scraped through this guy yesterday in a
Speaker 3: cement mixer is a meter off. There is no chair
Speaker 3: he's ever gonna make it.
Speaker 1: And also, if you're driving a cement mixer right, you're
Speaker 1: fully aware that's a big ass truck behind you. It's
Speaker 1: a cement mix, so they're huge.
Speaker 3: It's moving. Yeah, it's trying to remind you all the time.
Speaker 3: I'm on, I'm here right now.
Speaker 1: Any bridge you need to like plan ahead, don't you?
Speaker 1: And then wait? You know full well everyone knows if
Speaker 1: drive around this city, wait, watch out for Montague Street bridge.
Speaker 1: He's rammed. It looks actually he's wedged under there. It
Speaker 1: looks like they built the bridge on top of his truck,
Speaker 1: like it's just landed down on top of it. He's
Speaker 1: so under there, perfectly wedged.
Speaker 3: It looks like he's trying to get halfway through and
Speaker 3: then gone, all right, well I'm halfway through, so maybe
Speaker 3: I can just keep pushing and see what happens.
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy because
Speaker 1: that's someone's Monday. You know, we can have a lot
Speaker 1: out here, but that is someone's starting the week. What
Speaker 1: do you do? Is there a special number you call?
Speaker 1: There is a dedicated you've hit me, there's all this number.
Speaker 3: There's a special sign that lives up there now that
Speaker 3: says call this number if any incidents with the bridge
Speaker 3: and do you reckon.
Speaker 1: It's like someone's job, or it's their side job. Where
Speaker 1: They've got a little number that flashes only good guys,
Speaker 1: another one sixteen who have sweet sixteen in a sweet
Speaker 1: steak and someone's winning something. It's a remarkable story and
Speaker 1: a great photo. Sick in this morning. When I first
Speaker 1: moved to Australia, I suddenly realize everyone likes to say
Speaker 1: shit be right. And it's a very nice kind of
Speaker 1: thing for not overthinking, not over worry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it works for so many situations.
Speaker 1: Should be right, yeah, and for you know, people in
Speaker 1: my country are quite uptight people. It's a nice way
Speaker 1: to sort of down regulate a bit and take it
Speaker 1: easy and chet out a bit here in Australia. But
Speaker 1: sometimes in life you do need to you do need
Speaker 1: to plan, you need to calculate, you need to think ahead.
Speaker 1: And actually it's not right. She'll be right. There must
Speaker 1: be stories like that guy probably thought she'd be right.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the cement mixer under Montague Street Bridge.
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's wedged under, he's hammered into it, he's smashed
Speaker 1: into it. We're looking for stories this morning on nine
Speaker 1: four one four one o four three, When wasn't she
Speaker 1: all right? Okay, there's got to be moments in life,
Speaker 1: We're like, do you know what I have under calculated
Speaker 1: over optimistic? Turns out she wasn't all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I use my mantra right and I was wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she wasn't all right. We're looking for those stories
Speaker 1: when you miscalculated, you didn't think it through enough. What
Speaker 1: is your version of being wedged under the Montague Street
Speaker 1: Bridge on a Monday The Christian O'Connell show podcast. We're
Speaker 1: looking for this morning stories, the other side of shitby
Speaker 1: al right when she she actually wasn't right. You really
Speaker 1: should have actually why I thought it through? You were
Speaker 1: too optimistic, You didn't calculate, You just thought it'd be okay.
Speaker 1: You were too blase. A suddenly, hindsight puts to the
Speaker 1: other side of Shibby right when she wasn't right. The
Speaker 1: story's don't need to be about Vicker's being wedged in anything.
Speaker 1: It can be anything that's happened where suddenly you're I
Speaker 1: really didn't think that through. That's most of us in
Speaker 1: the show, isn't it, Ashley, Jenny.
Speaker 4: Good morning for mine, Christian, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good, Jenny, Thanks for cool on the show. So
Speaker 1: what is your story for she won't be right.
Speaker 4: Well, I've borrowed my cousin's Powell drive like a troop terrier,
Speaker 4: which is not higher than a normal cart, so I
Speaker 4: borrowed it. This Diana had a shitty day at work
Speaker 4: and I was on the way home and forgot about
Speaker 4: the car port and went to drive under the car
Speaker 4: port and bang pushed the roof in.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a bad day is even drive worse now,
Speaker 1: isn't it. She won't be right?
Speaker 4: And my kids were there trying to push the roof
Speaker 4: back out with their feature and now ex husband, he
Speaker 4: just laughed, he just laughs.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, Jenny, thank you very much. She called,
Speaker 1: let's go to Meck morning.
Speaker 2: Mick, Hey Chrisson, how are young mate?
Speaker 1: I'm good, Mix. So what's your story for she won't
Speaker 1: be right? Well?
Speaker 2: Look, I was delivering white road marking paint, one of
Speaker 2: my jobs on the Gold Coast when I was in
Speaker 2: my team, and I put more more paint in the
Speaker 2: van than anyone had ever put in before. And I
Speaker 2: was going up a pretty steep hill, chugging up at
Speaker 2: about forty kilometers an hour, and as I was watching
Speaker 2: in the mirror, one of them started to rock and
Speaker 2: I bounce back and forward, then I sided to roll
Speaker 2: towards the back of the van, smashed the back door,
Speaker 2: and I all this thing. I saw it go end
Speaker 2: over end in slow motion in my head and then
Speaker 2: exploded on the road. And this white road marking paint
Speaker 2: drives in about five minutes.
Speaker 1: Of course, that is amazing.
Speaker 3: And it's designed to stay stuck to the road forever.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm certain it's still there to that.
Speaker 1: The key part of that is what are they giving
Speaker 1: all that responsibility, you know, to a teenager to do
Speaker 1: as well?
Speaker 2: Well, what could possibly go wrong? All I had to
Speaker 2: do was deliberate.
Speaker 1: That's a great well met. Thank you very much, your
Speaker 1: story mate, Have a good day. The Christian O'Connell Show
