23
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: that dice. It's going to bite you on the back side.

24
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: And it finally happened. But it's a diesel car. When

25
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: diasels run out. It's a major problem. You have to

26
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: like bleed the engine, get these air gaps on this.

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: So anyway, she says, can you go and go to

28
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 4: the Serfo and buy the old jerry can of shame

29
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: and put five bucks worth in there? And so I'm

30
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: there with that little can and people judge it it's you. Yeah,

31
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: and I didn't want to go. It's my wife. And

32
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: then people are going, guy, it's you. You don't do that,

33
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: don't be that guy. So then so yeah, she finally

34
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: it finally happens.

35
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 5: So where do you actually don't even know how you

36
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: do that? You feel up the jerry can, then you

37
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 5: get a funnel or and then pour it back in.

38
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yeah, And you're there by the side of

39
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: the road.

40
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 4: People are like driving around and they're like staring out,

41
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,319

43
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: She's in the car. It's not judging me. I know,

44
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these people.

45
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: As soon as as soon as it flashes, I'm not

46
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: pulling over finding herself.

47
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 5: You need big duck sunglasses and a cap pole, yeah,

48
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 5: your face just to keep your identity anonymous.

49
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Do you drive around that pass?

50
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 6: I do.

51
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: I love playing Russian rulette.

52
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: With Can it happened to you if you run out? Twice?

53
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: Most recently, I remember where I was in the middle.

54
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I was in the car wash and it couldn't start.

55
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: I was in the car wash and got in there.

56
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how I limped in there, and ironically

57
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: the servos like next door right, and so I went

58
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: to start it would start. I thought, oh, there must

59
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: be water in the engine or something. No, I had

60
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: no fuel, So.

61
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: How do you get out?

62
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: So I had to ring the love God.

63
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Who had to drive my dive soup pushed the car

64
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: out of the car.

65
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: By those brushes of con swimming goggles.

66
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: And then it's a really tight turn to get so

67
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: I had to sort of steer to get out of

68
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: the car and then get to the service road. So

69
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: that was the first thing. Then he had to get

70
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: back in his car and go and get a.

71
00:02:53,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 5: Cherry stopping.

72
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Was not pressed all right?

73
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: If you've ever run out of fuel where and because

74
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: sometimes it's terrible timing, Caitlin, you've got a story about this.

75
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: When did you run out of fuel?

76
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: I was on my l's and I mistaked the gauge

77
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: that tells you how hot the curry is, and I

78
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: thought it was the fuel gauge.

79
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: So it was always sitting in it like that. Couple's like,

80
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 3: I'm fine, and then I I'm with my daddy in

81
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: the car. I break down on a roundabout and my

82
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: dad has to push me five hundred meters to a server.

83
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, years ago, you used to have to push the

84
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: car somewhere, you know, as see the other people used

85
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: to pull over and out You push the car.

86
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 5: You must have thought it had incredible fuel efficiency. Damn,

87
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: we've been practicing all day.

88
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: A movie talked it out once every.

89
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,000

Speaker 7: fuel halfway down the hill. But luckily there was a

105
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 7: total petrol station right at the bottom, and I actually

107
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 7: stopped beside the pump.

00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: See free wheel it down that using the momentum of

109
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: the hill. Yeah, that's a perfect place to run out.

Speaker 4: is in her own words, a very strong, devout Christian.

121
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: And on both occasions she has run out of petrol.

122
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: She's been on a hill of sorts and rolled into

123
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 4: a petrol station at the bottle of the hill. She

124
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: always says, the Lord works in mysterious ways. I just

125
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: say it's dumb luck. I love that, Natalie Christian. Many

126
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: years ago, my husband used to run out of petrol

127
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: all the time.

128
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: How can you do this all the time? One occasion,

129
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: he run out of petrol the end of the freeway.

130
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: He wondered about three hundred meters away to a servo

131
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: with a Jerry can. I waited patient in the car.

132
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: I happened to look in the rear visionary and notice

133
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: that behind us very long cue. Right behind us there

134
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: was a funeral procession in the hers. There was only

135
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: one exit lane and nowhere to go. I was so mortified.

136
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: I slid down in my seat and waited until are

137
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: now ex husband first broke up in that car.

138
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: You just.

139
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: I could see it was just having a lovely long

140
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: chat to the servo attendant. No rush whatsoever. The funeral

141
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: directors were waving their hands around all over the place

142
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: and booping their horns.

143
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they're allowed to beat their horse. I

144
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: don't know if.

145
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: I've never forgotten the shame that's from Michelle bian could

146
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 4: running out of fuel?

147
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: What happened?

148
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 6: Oh?

149
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 8: My husband bought a new boat and decided, nice day

150
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 8: go out on the bay. Wonderful launch the boat cruising along,

151
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 8: all of a sudden ran out of fuel. The boat stopped.

152
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 8: We had to paddle into shore. Finally made it to shore,

153
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 8: missed all the rocks at the end of Oliver's Hill.

154
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 8: They're on the point. I had to jump out with

155
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 8: the fuel tank, walk up the hill and walk into

156
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 8: a school as to use the phone so that my

157
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 8: little brother could come and get meself a get more fuel.

158
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: So where do you go to get more fuel? If

159
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: the boat's run out?

160
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 8: You have to put the oars in the water and
