00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: Late First up this morning, we have Michael O'Connell. Yesterday

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: on the show, Patsy told us an unbelievable story about

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: running out of fuel. Patsy, you tell them where were

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: you when you run out of field on Sunday in

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: the car wash? It had just done its cycle in

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: the car wouldn't start. I was stuck in there, holding

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: all the traffic up behind me. And the incredible thing,

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: as Jack noticed, was that you've gone to fill up,

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: you know, And he could have done that first, yes,

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: but I thought, no, you know, I know it's on empty.

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: I just I'll roll that dike again.

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Of being dirty, I just couldn't.

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: So yesterday we're talking about where did you run out

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: of fuel? Christian. I'm like Patsy and often run the

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: car down to close on empty. I don't know how

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: you can do that. Many years ago, I worked at

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: Telstra in the city and one Friday morning, during peakow,

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: I left the car park. We can already know it's

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: got a peak hour Friday. I've already annoyed. I left

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: the car park and was waiting to turn right at

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: the corner of Lonsdow and Exhibition Streets. So we can

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: all know these streets. They're really quiet there on a

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: Friday morning peak. How as I entered the intersection, the

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: engine spluttered and died as I run out. Feel I

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: sat in the middle of the intersection. People would have

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: just hated that guy trams too. I sat in the

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: middle of the intersection and blocks all the peakwur traffic

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: and so the couple of people could help me move

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: the car out of the way. Have you had to

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: push your car out the way?

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Mine died, not because of petrol running out, but

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: something with the gasket. I wasn't putting water in the car.

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: It was the first car I owned. I was eighteen,

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know about you had to keep

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: putting cooling and water in same thing in the middle

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: of an intersection, and I got out of my car.

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even know the concept of like you could

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: push your car. I thought if it didn't start, it

40
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: didn't start, So guy from another car came and pushed

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: it to the side.

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you feel like a hero if

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: you've helped another guy push his car, you know it's

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: like a bond you will have with that guy forever.

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: I called the RACV. They should hang up on you,

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: They should go Yet we do do a multi breakdown.

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: Not if you're not. If you've done this, she won't

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: help you. Yes, I called the RASCV and they brought

49
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: some fear and got me going, uh, very embarrassing, you think,

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: and I would have learnt my lesson. But no, exactly

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: one week later, exactly one week later on the Friday,

52
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: kind of let your anniversary mind go O'Connell. What better

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: way to market does it?

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Again?

55
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: Peak our traffic exactly the same thing, exactly the same intersection.

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: He would have seen the same people. You're all doing

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: that trip at the same time. Him again. And I'm

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: not pushing you this time. Push your own car. You

59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: need to say that to call my old friends at

60
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: the RACV. They were not impressed. They even checked their records.

61
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,559
Speaker 2: We come out seven days ago, same spot.

62
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: See you next Friday. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
