Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Late First up this morning, we have Michael O'Connell. Yesterday
Speaker 2: on the show, Patsy told us an unbelievable story about
Speaker 2: running out of fuel. Patsy, you tell them where were
Speaker 2: you when you run out of field on Sunday in
Speaker 2: the car wash? It had just done its cycle in
Speaker 2: the car wouldn't start. I was stuck in there, holding
Speaker 2: all the traffic up behind me. And the incredible thing,
Speaker 2: as Jack noticed, was that you've gone to fill up,
Speaker 2: you know, And he could have done that first, yes,
Speaker 2: but I thought, no, you know, I know it's on empty.
Speaker 2: I just I'll roll that dike again.
Speaker 1: Of being dirty, I just couldn't.
Speaker 2: So yesterday we're talking about where did you run out
Speaker 2: of fuel? Christian. I'm like Patsy and often run the
Speaker 2: car down to close on empty. I don't know how
Speaker 2: you can do that. Many years ago, I worked at
Speaker 2: Telstra in the city and one Friday morning, during peakow,
Speaker 2: I left the car park. We can already know it's
Speaker 2: got a peak hour Friday. I've already annoyed. I left
Speaker 2: the car park and was waiting to turn right at
Speaker 2: the corner of Lonsdow and Exhibition Streets. So we can
Speaker 2: all know these streets. They're really quiet there on a
Speaker 2: Friday morning peak. How as I entered the intersection, the
Speaker 2: engine spluttered and died as I run out. Feel I
Speaker 2: sat in the middle of the intersection. People would have
Speaker 2: just hated that guy trams too. I sat in the
Speaker 2: middle of the intersection and blocks all the peakwur traffic
Speaker 2: and so the couple of people could help me move
Speaker 2: the car out of the way. Have you had to
Speaker 2: push your car out the way?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Mine died, not because of petrol running out, but
Speaker 1: something with the gasket. I wasn't putting water in the car.
Speaker 1: It was the first car I owned. I was eighteen,
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know about you had to keep
Speaker 1: putting cooling and water in same thing in the middle
Speaker 1: of an intersection, and I got out of my car.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know the concept of like you could
Speaker 1: push your car. I thought if it didn't start, it
Speaker 1: didn't start, So guy from another car came and pushed
Speaker 1: it to the side.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you feel like a hero if
Speaker 2: you've helped another guy push his car, you know it's
Speaker 2: like a bond you will have with that guy forever.
Speaker 2: I called the RACV. They should hang up on you,
Speaker 2: They should go Yet we do do a multi breakdown.
Speaker 2: Not if you're not. If you've done this, she won't
Speaker 2: help you. Yes, I called the RASCV and they brought
Speaker 2: some fear and got me going, uh, very embarrassing, you think,
Speaker 2: and I would have learnt my lesson. But no, exactly
Speaker 2: one week later, exactly one week later on the Friday,
Speaker 2: kind of let your anniversary mind go O'Connell. What better
Speaker 2: way to market does it?
Speaker 1: Again?
Speaker 2: Peak our traffic exactly the same thing, exactly the same intersection.
Speaker 2: He would have seen the same people. You're all doing
Speaker 2: that trip at the same time. Him again. And I'm
Speaker 2: not pushing you this time. Push your own car. You
Speaker 2: need to say that to call my old friends at
Speaker 2: the RACV. They were not impressed. They even checked their records.
Speaker 2: We come out seven days ago, same spot.
Speaker 1: See you next Friday. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
