My Heart podcasts here, more mixed one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the Free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Haley and Max in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
One of the first things you learn when you are
driving your car when you're sixteen. You're in that Kmark
car park and dad or mum is sitting next to
you and they are stressing out because you're so close
to scraping someone else's mirrors.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
One of the first things you learn is to put
the handbrake on when you park.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Always.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Someone in Hall at.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Cove did not do that yesterday because the car has
been destroyed after rolling about forty meters off of a
cliff and into the ocean.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Marcus Mitchell had just got out of his mother's cherry.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
He claims he put the handbrake on, but it had
vanished by the time he returned.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
I had left it running after a jump started and
gone inside to get a last minute thing for mum
going up to the shops, and sure enough when I
came down the car was gone.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So it slid down the driveway, across a road and
over a cliff.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It's like a classic scene. Huh.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
He would have had it in reverse or neutral or
didn't have the handbrake on or something. It's steep down there,
there's cliffs, there's hills, all sorts of I.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Say that the handbrake thing. In older cars, when we
all learned to drive, we had the full like stick, right,
so it was very easy to remember pulling your hand
put your handbrake on. But nowadays my cars you just
have a little pee thing and you don't even know
it for you if it's on or not.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You like click it, but you don't know if pulling
it or pushing it actually turns it on.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
So it's not like I need the whole like stick,
But I get leaving your car on and forgetting it's on. Yeah,
things like this happened to people all the time. I
feel sorry for it.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
This is exactly the sort of thing that happens in movies,
where like mister Bean would leave his car on a
hill and it would roll and it.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Off a cliff.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It also is the sort of thing that I could
see you doing, Hailey Peers.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I dare you that is not nice at all. But
but I've definitely done that before. My car didn't roll
off a cliff, but I do remember so when I
was a nineteen. I used to do this like acting
course right at Pultney Grammar. So it's on South Terrace
and it was three hours twice a week, right, so
like six till nine. So I parked my little Niss
(02:32):
and Pulsa there. I would have been nineteen part my
Niss and Pulsa, went in did my acting course and
then we all came out with all of my little
lesbian people and were walking to my car. Oh can
hear that? What's that noise? And I just looked at
my I left my car on the whole time, like
(02:53):
I'm talking the whole thing, So I just like looked
around both ways and no one could see me. And
then I just opened my door, got it and drug water.
I don't even have to turn it on because it
was already on.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's just sitting there pumping really nice warm car to
get into.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Engine had just.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Been ticking over the role the whole time, and no
one had jumped in, no one stole it.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It was just on. All you had to do was
flick it from park to drive and you went.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I never told anyone because at
the time I was like, this is so embarrassing. But
now I'm sharing the story. So it does happen, you
can accidentally leave your car on I get it.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Don't do it next to a cliff would be our
tip from your story.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, ooh God, Hale and Max in the morning wheat
days six to nine am. We ask a deeply personal
question to each other every day, and today it is
your turn to answer the question.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm probably due.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
My question to you, Max Burfort is what would you
change about Adelaide if you could?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Oh, this is good.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
This is a different style of question to what we
usually have, a bit more opinion based. Okay, I love Adelaide.
I've grown up in Adelaide. I've lived here my entire life,
and I will probably live here my entire life. So
I'm well placed to answer this.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I've got one.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Let's do traffic. I mean, I'm on the road. I'm
on the road here. One thing I would like to
change about Adelaide is I would like drivers to be
able to turn left.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
At every red light.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So this is a thing that they do over in
the States and in Canada. And I know this because
I once hired a car over there and I went there.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Obviously, on the other side of the road.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I pulled up at a traffic light, like a four
way intersection to turn right, and I had a red light,
and I was sitting there and the person behind me
was just on the horn.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And I was like, mate, the light is red.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And I later found out you can turn right at
these intersections when no one is coming the other way,
So you just have to use I don't know, your
eyes to determine if it's safe or not. And it's Adelaide, right,
we do have peak hour traffic for about twenty years
at either.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
End of the day.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Saves so much time.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But aside from that, if you pull up at a
traffic light, and we have I think nineteen of these
at the moment, but it should be all of them.
If you pull up at a traffic light and you're
turning left, all you have to worry about is one
that there are no pedestrians in front of you, and
two that there are no cars coming from the right,
And a lot of the time in Adelaide there are
no cars coming from the right.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You say that there's nineteen, how do they let you know?
Is there a sign?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
There's a sign on a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
The one that I come across a lot because I'm
an injured boy and I go to sports med all
the time. In Stepney, there's one If you're coming out
of the Harrow Road to Saint Peter's Road and you
pull up to that t intersection and you've got the
little BP on your left, you can turn left on
a red light there as long as no one is
coming up Paynham Road from the right from the city.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yes, a lot of them, they've got little signs there.
But the whole point of this is and why I
think it is such a good idea.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm so impatient on the road.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
If I pull up there and I can't turn left,
I have to sit there and watch often no one coming,
and then not only have I wasted my time, then
just to set me through there might not be anyone
behind me.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We have to have a whole light cycle to.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Stop the main road, so all the traffic has to
stop so I can turn left.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Haha. Okay, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
That's what I would like to take to the government.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm with you. Can we put this out to our
beautiful listeners?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Sure, I want to know what you would change about
Adelaide because I've got a whole list of things that
I'd love to change, please for the better.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
More than merrier.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, I think we could because we love Adelaide. Yeah,
I will ambassador Adelaide to the day I die. But
I always would like us to be better.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Same. And we're friends with Mallie and we can make
things happen because we're passionate. Okay, thirteen one oh two three.
If you've got something you would love to change about Adelaide.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Oh my god, stop should have an indentation. I am
sick and tired of sitting behind a bus waiting for
them to let everyone in and out.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Certainly I love that.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Let them go to the left a little bit more
so we can just keep going straight.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Can we also ban buses on roads like on the road.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
See, this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
If we have the indentations, it's all good because the
bus pulls over, no one gets stuck behind them.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I love it, Gina, We're going to have to.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I don't know anyone in Adelaide who actually really sits
here in the morning. Go oh, I'm having so much
fun sitting.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Behind this buff stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Because it's a two lane road.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You got to sit in the right hand lane, but
then if someone wants to turn right, you start, Oh,
just trying to get to work on die.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I love that, Gina, all right, keep them coming. Thirteen
one oh tenth Prade? What would you change about Adelaide?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Sam and Celig's beach is called in?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Sammy, you want to change something about opening hours?
Speaker 10 (07:56):
Yes? I do so love the show, long time listener.
I would love to be able to get a meal
after eight.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, I'm a real tree.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
And when you shut too early, oh so true.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Restaurants, cafes, everything, it's just such a window.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
I know, and I think we're doing so much better.
But guys, we can do even more food after I'm
sure we'll get more people out there.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I reckon hospitality would thrive. They it's it's really hard
at the moment, so many restaurants are closing. But if
we were open later and we could build up that community,
everyone going out and having big nights, like, yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They're worried the first people to do it. They're like,
we don't want to be the only ones to staff
for too long. But if everyone dives in at once, everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Happening, Sammy we're adding that to the list. Love it.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Rose in Ferrid and Park Rosie. What's your idea?
Speaker 11 (08:52):
We need better travel our airport everywhere. We've got to
go to Sydney. I am mailb. We just went to
we had.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I do get that though, and we are getting about it.
Can go direct to Bali, director Fiji, direct to San
Francisco as of December, but we can get better.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Theresa in Campbelltown, what's one thing you'd improve about adelaide?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
I'd love to see the intersections in the city, but
enable all the pedestrians to cross at once.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh yeah, like a Times square you're crossing in Tokyo.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
We have a couple of these, do we not? Yeah,
in run them all.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I lived in Auckland and all this, all the intersections
in the city were all pedestrians cross at once.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You know what, Theresa?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know why that's an even better idea because if
you are turning like left at those for example, when
the light goes green, you have to wait so long
for all of the traffic to go, only like one
or two people can get through. So that makes it
even better because all the pedestrians are gone.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
The have to cross two roads.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You can just go Dogonal.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So true. The theme of what everyone's saying is the
traffic and getting around our It needs to change a
bit to be better.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
There's a lot of traffic, a lot of travel. Rose
is still there. Rose, Is your phone line a little
bit better for us? Can you give us your idea again?
Speaker 11 (10:16):
Everywhere we go. We went to Aswrop, we had the
go via Sydney. We just went to Vietnam. We had
to go via Sydney. Come on, how would I get
with it? More direct?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I like this? So we've got coming up.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Obviously, United Airlines are going to be flying direct from
Adelaide to sand Frands.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
That opens up a few things. But the more the merrier.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Michelle in Edwardstown has called in Michelle, you got one
about restaurants?
Speaker 12 (10:42):
Oh absolutely? Why is it that Melbourne do you everything
so much better than us?
Speaker 11 (10:47):
So?
Speaker 12 (10:47):
Why I can go into Melbourne in the middle of winter.
I can sit outside and it's like freezing cold, but
I am toasty warmed because they have all the cafe
blind They have these fantastic heaters that go across the
ceiling that radiate beautiful warmth at warts. You know not
those stupid bar heaters at some of these places just
chuck up on the wall and a heater, and you know,
(11:09):
they have those stupid round heaters that you know you
have to literally be sitting your butt on to get.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
A bottle and they run out every twenty seconds, and.
Speaker 13 (11:20):
You have to go and you also have to go
and find some stuff and say can you turn these
frigging things gone?
Speaker 10 (11:24):
Please?
Speaker 13 (11:25):
And can I please have some you know jump, They're like,
have you got some blankets or something?
Speaker 12 (11:28):
Because this is freezing.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I like the make the change, make the change, but
I do I will argue against that and say that
Adelaide is better than Melbourne, much better than better than Melbourne.
Speaker 14 (11:40):
Yeah, we are at eight pm.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Just like what the other callers said a PM.
Speaker 13 (11:45):
I can't get a.
Speaker 14 (11:45):
Meal if you're going to be If you're going to be,
if you're going to.
Speaker 13 (11:48):
Serve people and want to serve dinner, and you can't
stay out past eight pm because you need to go
to bed, that is not the business you should be in.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Michelle. You are very passion. You can come to the
court with us.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It seems fair, Michelle. It's on the list. It's on
the list. I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Hey, I'm not always wanting to be warmer in winter
when I eat and food that's fine.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And also Michelle, Michelle, I love you. I like the passion,
but it's too many get pitched. We got so many
other people here on the line.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
All right, Cherie Golden Grove, what are you pitching? What
would you change it?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
At Adelaide?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, I guess it's back in a bit onto. What
Michelle was saying is that I would also like to
see that end of Rundles Street where they close it
off during the fringe and bring out all the tables
out for the outdoor dining, to have that a bit
more often, not just during the fringe, but over the
summer or even over the winter. If we can get
some of those heaters and you know, having those little
street performers and little stools set up as well, bring
(12:41):
people into the city and have a real party atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I wonder if that could be something like an every
weekend thing. Imagine Rundle Street every Friday, every Saturday.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Don't I closed off?
Speaker 15 (12:52):
Sound great?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Reason this doesn't happen because people don't support it, and
then restaurants go out of business.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What they already are.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's easy for us to say, I suppose there'd be
hospitality people out there right now saying we try mate,
But do.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
They have they tried? Maybe they should try it one
more time.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We're going to leave this in the hands of Malley.
We're just giving him problems that he can solve.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
We we're trying to help hospitality.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
That's what we want. George and Carolta Parks called in.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
George, what change would you make about Adelaide guys?
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Yeah, look, I think we need a theme park, all.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Right, the part you're trying to turn this into Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah something, yeah, something like Saint Kildare in Melbourne or
Gold Coast or like we used to have a Magic
Mountain or something like that, because.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, okay, well we had Dazzle Land.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I mean I think I think,
you know, just like a Sire slide or something.
Speaker 16 (13:40):
You know, summer's coming up.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
We are looking into something like that, you know, don't
you reckon?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I don't mind it, George. It would be maybe good
for some tourism. We get some families traveling to Adelaide.
Although Gold Coast is warmer all year round than us.
Is why they have them.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, I just don't trust the rides. You don't have
to go anywhere I go.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
As long as people are coming to town.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
We like it the way I take it, George, I'm
taking it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
We take it to Amy and Mawson Lakes. Have you
got to change one thing you like to change about Adelaide?
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Yes?
Speaker 17 (14:09):
I love that Rundle Street gets blocked off for the
Fringe Festival, and it's been pumping for Illuminate as well.
But all of the restaurants are open, and then none
of the little boutiques Rundell Mall's completely shut. I think
they need to do extended shopping hours during the Mad
March and Illuminate and get all of those people in
(14:30):
through the other little boutiques and other things, not just
for food areas.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Amy, Can I ask a dumb question here as someone
who agrees and wants to go to all the restaurants.
Have you ever finished dinner at nine o'clock and thought,
I'm desperate to go and buy a dress.
Speaker 17 (14:45):
I did last year for my fortieth The night before
I was walking down Rundle Mall and it was on
one of those days that one of those little pop
up shops was actually open and I found the perfect
dress the night before my birthday party at like, yeah,
nine point thirty or something at night.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
I will say that. And it was the thing about
that you can do that you can go to Zara
at midnight is so cool.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
That's fair.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, all right, we're trying to make a change.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
On the list. All right, we've got like eight or
nine things there.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Did we pick our top five and then we go
on pitch to Mallie. What's gone to our store today?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah, we'll send it straight to him today. Yeah, he's
got nothing else to do.
Speaker 10 (15:23):
Haleen Max In the.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Morning yesterday and hall Att Cove, a very silly, silly
thing happened. Someone his name is Marcus, left his car
and his driveway car on a handbrake off car rolls
back across the road and down a cliff onto the beach.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Incredible pictures. You might have seen them on the news.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
We have Marcus on the line with us now, the
man whose car ended up in the hall Att Cove Bay.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Good morning, Marcus.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
What happens?
Speaker 18 (15:51):
Well, essentially, I've had a problem with the car with
the battery being flat. I've had to jump start up
many times or get the RAA before my neighbor lent
me a jump starter. Yeah, and unfortunately the battery was flat.
On Tuesday, I had to jumpstart it. And my mum
(16:11):
wanted me to do an extra thing for her up
at the shopping center. So I had driven back up
the drive left the car at which I believed I
had left him break And there is no handbrake. There's
only little button.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh on those little pea buttons. They're so confused your mars.
Speaker 18 (16:28):
Sure enough, when I came back, it was all silent
outside where the car should have been, and there were
the neighbors, the local neighbors gathered around the fence, and
I had not connected to me what had happened to
this car. And I actually couldn't believe that this had
happened to the car. That it had rolled down the hill,
(16:50):
fortunately not hitting anybody.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yes, so lucky.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
How far did it roll from your driveway to when
it ran through a fence?
Speaker 18 (16:56):
Well, we do have a fairly steep driveway, but I
guess it was about I don't know, twenty five meters pose.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
And then it went across a road.
Speaker 18 (17:04):
Yes, that's right, and off the cliff. Well, it had
to the fence that it was pushing through because it's
only meant to stop the pedestrians or bicyclists. I suppose.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I mean I'm a morbid person. And the first thing
I thought I was imagine if there were people on
that beach, just walking on haw Att Cove Beach having
a nice well.
Speaker 18 (17:24):
Cut offull access to the beach. Now the council has
since they've put up the bridges, right, Okay, so since
the eighties, I've like brother and I we used to,
you know, climb all over the cliff and stuff like that,
because we didn't you know, the eighties was a different time.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah, this is in the round beach section of cliff
where no one goes. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (17:44):
Are you ensured yes, comprehensively with RA So do they
sort it out?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I don't really know how this works to get you.
Speaker 18 (17:51):
The thing is the thing is that they do have
a private investigator who will grill me for about ninety
minutes and stuff like that, which is fine, you know,
but my mother's eighty five. I don't want her to
go through that sort of stuff. Yeah, And because it's
enough hussle for me to have to deal with, of
you know, fixing up the car and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But market, they're just grilling you that little that little
private investigator grilling you. Is that just to make sure
that you didn't, like, accidentally, on purpose leave the handbrake
off because you don't like your car.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Is that what that's about?
Speaker 18 (18:23):
It could? It could well be, yes, that's what I believe.
The private investigator is sort of trying to shake you
a bit too, because we don't have the same kind
of process in America where they you know, sort of
almost have a have a duel in the in the
court room.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
But you wouldn't do something like that, would your market?
Speaker 18 (18:42):
No, No, it's just they want to make sure that
you know, you've been truthful about what happened. Look, I've got,
you know, wet wallets and wet clothes. I had to
wade into the ocean to get my stuff out of
the car, and you know, put on little rubber booties
and stuff like that so that you could get into
the car. And you know, it was the sun was
(19:05):
going it was sunset when the car sort of went
over the edge, so it was getting even darker past sunset.
When I went to get to the car on the
Tuesday night to get the stuff out.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
The silliest thing you've ever done is that? Would you
say that that's number one?
Speaker 18 (19:20):
Well, look, the thing is that you've got no handbrake.
It's all electronic. I mean, I don't think it's a
good idea not to have a handbrake in a car
because we're all used to that action, you know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, totally, Marcus.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You will never ever leave your car without double checking
all of that for the rest of your life.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
On.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That's something to take out of this.
Speaker 18 (19:40):
But it was all, yeah, well, it's just that everything
is electronic. Now the car will be driving you one
day to the shops. But you know, till that happens,
they still need to leave handbrakes in there and things
like that for people to you know, pull up on
and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So thank you for teaching us all the lesson, Marcus. No,
good luck with the private investigator.
Speaker 18 (20:01):
Bye bye.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Let's make him feel a little bit better. Yeah, yeah,
let's put it out to you the silliest thing that
you've done in a car, because I have a long list.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Silly let's try and keep them above board. Plays Adelaide
thirteen one two three Silliest thing you've done in the car.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Rick and Moleston. Silliest thing you've ever done in a car?
Speaker 15 (20:22):
Yeah, hard morning, guys and MC. Years ago, I had
this nice old valley with really expensive lambs Will seat covers,
which they were back then, and I was picking up
a girlfriend of a friend, girlfriend of mine, and I
(20:43):
was waiting for it to come out of the car,
and I had a bit of a tummy ape absolutely
feel this wind coming on, so I have I had
heard you could set a light to it and it
would banished the smell, but it actually set fire to
these the lambs Will that I was sitting on, and
(21:04):
I had to jump out of the car, and the
old gb D street directory I had to actually put
it out and all you could spell was burg burg wool,
which is probably worse of it, but actually destroyed the
whole streak.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Have you been waiting for a radio station to bring
up this topic for you to close?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
It's incredible unless you didn't smell the fire, So good,
it's young lady.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Friend Dan, you're in more Forville. What is the silliest
thing that happened in a car? In your friend's car?
Speaker 14 (21:34):
So we were driving along and it was a v
Dub car and I was in the back seat, and
we were present along this very bumpy road. Then all
of a sudden, I feel this really warm sensation, realizing
that my butt is on fire because in these Dubs
the batteries in the back seat. So we had to
(21:57):
quickly make an emergency stop pull over, and I think
I pushed the girl in the front seat like through
the windscreen to get.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Out, because you got to kick their front seat down
to get out the door correct, and.
Speaker 14 (22:10):
So then because it was a two door v Dub.
So then what we decided is there was a fire
station a couple of hundred meters up the road. So
I ran up there, passed their ring the doorbell, say
them we need help. Our cars on fire, so thinking
that we're just going to walk the couple of hundred
meters back, but no, they get me into the fire truck,
(22:31):
lights and sirens all the way down there.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
To fire out check the battery.
Speaker 14 (22:38):
That car was destined to kill me because another time
we were driving along that on the way to work
and the bloody door came open or sorry, sorry.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You can say bloody. We've heard worse. Bloody is okay?
Speaker 11 (22:51):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
The job has nearly take it out, Dan yell, Okay, yeah,
it wasn't your fault though, he's just sitting on fire.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Sounds like that car needs to go off a cliff.
Speaker 14 (23:00):
Oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
So then I got how many stories.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Has? Has anything ever gone right? In cars? For Tana, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
We need more, We need more, thirty one two three place,
keep these cars coming. The silliest thing that you have
ever done, the silliest thing that's ever happened to you
in a car.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
They are hilarious. Tat what's the silliest thing you ever
did in your hybrid car?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
In my brand new hybrid car that I was given
from work, I actually drove you in the first day
of work. Droven thought I'd get a coffee, stopped for
a coffee, so I got out the car. I thought
I'd locked the car, gone in, got a coffee, took
my time, checked my hair out, went back to the car,
and the car wasn't turned on. And I'm freaking out, going,
oh my gosh, what have I done to this car?
Is the that true flat? I don't know what's going on.
(23:49):
I'm sitting there, I'm going to dial roadside assistance and
then all of a sudden, I he this and it
turned back on again, and oh my gosh, it was
just so embarrassing the fact that that car was running
the entire time. In got a coffee, took my.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Time, just had to put you from the accelerator.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Realized when cars are quiet these days, you don't know
if it's on or not.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I get it. Bring back diesels, you know, the environment
can wait.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Rachel and West Richmond, watch your story.
Speaker 16 (24:20):
So I just picked my daughter up from childcare. I
put her in her car seat, and then instead of
getting around and getting into the driver's seat like a
normal person, I got into the back accidentally, and then
I had locked myself in the back because of the
child walk So I've had to crawl through the car
(24:40):
to get back.
Speaker 14 (24:41):
To my driver's seat.
Speaker 16 (24:42):
And then there was a lady, like just like a
random just standing there watching and she's like, what is
this lady doing?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Playing a fun game?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
The car is terrifying. Yeah, oh, Rachel, I love that story.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Okay, Lorraine and Oldinger Beach, silliest thing you ever did.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
In the car?
Speaker 19 (25:04):
Hey guys, look it wasn't me, it was my dad,
And my dad is amazing. But I remember when we
were younger, I must have been about eight years old,
and we had to reverse the car out of the
driveway a little bit to be able to bring the
dream bins up to the top of the driveway. And
this one particular day, he was in a hurry and
he thought he pressed the brake, and he pressed the
(25:24):
accelerator and took the driver's door off of the hinges.
Oh no, you could just imagine how happy my mum was.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
I've been memorim when we were younger. And then, of
course the second story about my dad as well. I
had just recently divorced, got the dream of my job.
I was starting my chef in career and I had
to drive to Gula, And so Dad came around to
do the manly thing and make sure that my car
was filled up with water and oil. And I know,
(25:56):
I goblets him and he didn't. He forgot that my
car was an manual, not an automatic, and he forgot
to put the clutch in and bummy hopped it really fast.
Room my roller door and keep my whole garage. Yea,
my whole garage, my whole roller door in classic.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh Dad, that's what you get for trying to help
me get somewhere.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
So funny. Hopping is one of the most embarrassing things
that would happen in public.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Recolard McDonald's drive through.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I got a thirty cent cone and it was so small,
and I looked at the woman.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I said, is that a sample? And then I went
to take off my cars in Neutral and I just
reped it.
Speaker 13 (26:38):
Haley and Max in the Morning Wheat Days six to
nine am mix
My Heart podcasts here, more mixed one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the Free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Haley and Max in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
One of the first things you learn when you are
driving your car when you're sixteen. You're in that Kmark
car park and dad or mum is sitting next to
you and they are stressing out because you're so close
to scraping someone else's mirrors.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
One of the first things you learn is to put
the handbrake on when you park.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Always.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Someone in Hall at.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Cove did not do that yesterday because the car has
been destroyed after rolling about forty meters off of a
cliff and into the ocean.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Marcus Mitchell had just got out of his mother's cherry.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
He claims he put the handbrake on, but it had
vanished by the time he returned.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
I had left it running after a jump started and
gone inside to get a last minute thing for mum
going up to the shops, and sure enough when I
came down the car was gone.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So it slid down the driveway, across a road and
over a cliff.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It's like a classic scene. Huh.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
He would have had it in reverse or neutral or
didn't have the handbrake on or something. It's steep down there,
there's cliffs, there's hills, all sorts of I.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Say that the handbrake thing. In older cars, when we
all learned to drive, we had the full like stick, right,
so it was very easy to remember pulling your hand
put your handbrake on. But nowadays my cars you just
have a little pee thing and you don't even know
it for you if it's on or not.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You like click it, but you don't know if pulling
it or pushing it actually turns it on.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
So it's not like I need the whole like stick,
But I get leaving your car on and forgetting it's on. Yeah,
things like this happened to people all the time. I
feel sorry for it.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
This is exactly the sort of thing that happens in movies,
where like mister Bean would leave his car on a
hill and it would roll and it.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Off a cliff.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It also is the sort of thing that I could
see you doing, Hailey Peers.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I dare you that is not nice at all. But
but I've definitely done that before. My car didn't roll
off a cliff, but I do remember so when I
was a nineteen. I used to do this like acting
course right at Pultney Grammar. So it's on South Terrace
and it was three hours twice a week, right, so
like six till nine. So I parked my little Niss
(02:32):
and Pulsa there. I would have been nineteen part my
Niss and Pulsa, went in did my acting course and
then we all came out with all of my little
lesbian people and were walking to my car. Oh can
hear that? What's that noise? And I just looked at
my I left my car on the whole time, like
(02:53):
I'm talking the whole thing, So I just like looked
around both ways and no one could see me. And
then I just opened my door, got it and drug water.
I don't even have to turn it on because it
was already on.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's just sitting there pumping really nice warm car to
get into.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Engine had just.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Been ticking over the role the whole time, and no
one had jumped in, no one stole it.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It was just on. All you had to do was
flick it from park to drive and you went.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I never told anyone because at
the time I was like, this is so embarrassing. But
now I'm sharing the story. So it does happen, you
can accidentally leave your car on I get it.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Don't do it next to a cliff would be our
tip from your story.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, ooh God, Hale and Max in the morning wheat
days six to nine am. We ask a deeply personal
question to each other every day, and today it is
your turn to answer the question.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm probably due.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
My question to you, Max Burfort is what would you
change about Adelaide if you could?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Oh, this is good.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
This is a different style of question to what we
usually have, a bit more opinion based. Okay, I love Adelaide.
I've grown up in Adelaide. I've lived here my entire life,
and I will probably live here my entire life. So
I'm well placed to answer this.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I've got one.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Let's do traffic. I mean, I'm on the road. I'm
on the road here. One thing I would like to
change about Adelaide is I would like drivers to be
able to turn left.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
At every red light.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So this is a thing that they do over in
the States and in Canada. And I know this because
I once hired a car over there and I went there.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Obviously, on the other side of the road.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I pulled up at a traffic light, like a four
way intersection to turn right, and I had a red light,
and I was sitting there and the person behind me
was just on the horn.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And I was like, mate, the light is red.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And I later found out you can turn right at
these intersections when no one is coming the other way,
So you just have to use I don't know, your
eyes to determine if it's safe or not. And it's Adelaide, right,
we do have peak hour traffic for about twenty years
at either.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
End of the day.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Saves so much time.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But aside from that, if you pull up at a
traffic light, and we have I think nineteen of these
at the moment, but it should be all of them.
If you pull up at a traffic light and you're
turning left, all you have to worry about is one
that there are no pedestrians in front of you, and
two that there are no cars coming from the right,
And a lot of the time in Adelaide there are
no cars coming from the right.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You say that there's nineteen, how do they let you know?
Is there a sign?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
There's a sign on a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
The one that I come across a lot because I'm
an injured boy and I go to sports med all
the time. In Stepney, there's one If you're coming out
of the Harrow Road to Saint Peter's Road and you
pull up to that t intersection and you've got the
little BP on your left, you can turn left on
a red light there as long as no one is
coming up Paynham Road from the right from the city.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yes, a lot of them, they've got little signs there.
But the whole point of this is and why I
think it is such a good idea.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm so impatient on the road.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
If I pull up there and I can't turn left,
I have to sit there and watch often no one coming,
and then not only have I wasted my time, then
just to set me through there might not be anyone
behind me.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We have to have a whole light cycle to.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Stop the main road, so all the traffic has to
stop so I can turn left.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Haha. Okay, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
That's what I would like to take to the government.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm with you. Can we put this out to our
beautiful listeners?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Sure, I want to know what you would change about
Adelaide because I've got a whole list of things that
I'd love to change, please for the better.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
More than merrier.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, I think we could because we love Adelaide. Yeah,
I will ambassador Adelaide to the day I die. But
I always would like us to be better.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Same. And we're friends with Mallie and we can make
things happen because we're passionate. Okay, thirteen one oh two three.
If you've got something you would love to change about Adelaide.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Oh my god, stop should have an indentation. I am
sick and tired of sitting behind a bus waiting for
them to let everyone in and out.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Certainly I love that.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Let them go to the left a little bit more
so we can just keep going straight.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Can we also ban buses on roads like on the road.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
See, this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
If we have the indentations, it's all good because the
bus pulls over, no one gets stuck behind them.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I love it, Gina, We're going to have to.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I don't know anyone in Adelaide who actually really sits
here in the morning. Go oh, I'm having so much
fun sitting.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Behind this buff stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Because it's a two lane road.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You got to sit in the right hand lane, but
then if someone wants to turn right, you start, Oh,
just trying to get to work on die.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I love that, Gina, all right, keep them coming. Thirteen
one oh tenth Prade? What would you change about Adelaide?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Sam and Celig's beach is called in?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Sammy, you want to change something about opening hours?
Speaker 10 (07:56):
Yes? I do so love the show, long time listener.
I would love to be able to get a meal
after eight.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, I'm a real tree.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
And when you shut too early, oh so true.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Restaurants, cafes, everything, it's just such a window.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
I know, and I think we're doing so much better.
But guys, we can do even more food after I'm
sure we'll get more people out there.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I reckon hospitality would thrive. They it's it's really hard
at the moment, so many restaurants are closing. But if
we were open later and we could build up that community,
everyone going out and having big nights, like, yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They're worried the first people to do it. They're like,
we don't want to be the only ones to staff
for too long. But if everyone dives in at once, everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Happening, Sammy we're adding that to the list. Love it.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Rose in Ferrid and Park Rosie. What's your idea?
Speaker 11 (08:52):
We need better travel our airport everywhere. We've got to
go to Sydney. I am mailb. We just went to
we had.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I do get that though, and we are getting about it.
Can go direct to Bali, director Fiji, direct to San
Francisco as of December, but we can get better.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Theresa in Campbelltown, what's one thing you'd improve about adelaide?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
I'd love to see the intersections in the city, but
enable all the pedestrians to cross at once.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh yeah, like a Times square you're crossing in Tokyo.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
We have a couple of these, do we not? Yeah,
in run them all.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I lived in Auckland and all this, all the intersections
in the city were all pedestrians cross at once.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You know what, Theresa?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know why that's an even better idea because if
you are turning like left at those for example, when
the light goes green, you have to wait so long
for all of the traffic to go, only like one
or two people can get through. So that makes it
even better because all the pedestrians are gone.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
The have to cross two roads.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You can just go Dogonal.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So true. The theme of what everyone's saying is the
traffic and getting around our It needs to change a
bit to be better.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
There's a lot of traffic, a lot of travel. Rose
is still there. Rose, Is your phone line a little
bit better for us? Can you give us your idea again?
Speaker 11 (10:16):
Everywhere we go. We went to Aswrop, we had the
go via Sydney. We just went to Vietnam. We had
to go via Sydney. Come on, how would I get
with it? More direct?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I like this? So we've got coming up.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Obviously, United Airlines are going to be flying direct from
Adelaide to sand Frands.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
That opens up a few things. But the more the merrier.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Michelle in Edwardstown has called in Michelle, you got one
about restaurants?
Speaker 12 (10:42):
Oh absolutely? Why is it that Melbourne do you everything
so much better than us?
Speaker 11 (10:47):
So?
Speaker 12 (10:47):
Why I can go into Melbourne in the middle of winter.
I can sit outside and it's like freezing cold, but
I am toasty warmed because they have all the cafe
blind They have these fantastic heaters that go across the
ceiling that radiate beautiful warmth at warts. You know not
those stupid bar heaters at some of these places just
chuck up on the wall and a heater, and you know,
(11:09):
they have those stupid round heaters that you know you
have to literally be sitting your butt on to get.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
A bottle and they run out every twenty seconds, and.
Speaker 13 (11:20):
You have to go and you also have to go
and find some stuff and say can you turn these
frigging things gone?
Speaker 10 (11:24):
Please?
Speaker 13 (11:25):
And can I please have some you know jump, They're like,
have you got some blankets or something?
Speaker 12 (11:28):
Because this is freezing.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I like the make the change, make the change, but
I do I will argue against that and say that
Adelaide is better than Melbourne, much better than better than Melbourne.
Speaker 14 (11:40):
Yeah, we are at eight pm.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Just like what the other callers said a PM.
Speaker 13 (11:45):
I can't get a.
Speaker 14 (11:45):
Meal if you're going to be If you're going to be,
if you're going to.
Speaker 13 (11:48):
Serve people and want to serve dinner, and you can't
stay out past eight pm because you need to go
to bed, that is not the business you should be in.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Michelle. You are very passion. You can come to the
court with us.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It seems fair, Michelle. It's on the list. It's on
the list. I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Hey, I'm not always wanting to be warmer in winter
when I eat and food that's fine.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And also Michelle, Michelle, I love you. I like the passion,
but it's too many get pitched. We got so many
other people here on the line.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
All right, Cherie Golden Grove, what are you pitching? What
would you change it?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
At Adelaide?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, I guess it's back in a bit onto. What
Michelle was saying is that I would also like to
see that end of Rundles Street where they close it
off during the fringe and bring out all the tables
out for the outdoor dining, to have that a bit
more often, not just during the fringe, but over the
summer or even over the winter. If we can get
some of those heaters and you know, having those little
street performers and little stools set up as well, bring
(12:41):
people into the city and have a real party atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I wonder if that could be something like an every
weekend thing. Imagine Rundle Street every Friday, every Saturday.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Don't I closed off?
Speaker 15 (12:52):
Sound great?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Reason this doesn't happen because people don't support it, and
then restaurants go out of business.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What they already are.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's easy for us to say, I suppose there'd be
hospitality people out there right now saying we try mate,
But do.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
They have they tried? Maybe they should try it one
more time.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We're going to leave this in the hands of Malley.
We're just giving him problems that he can solve.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
We we're trying to help hospitality.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
That's what we want. George and Carolta Parks called in.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
George, what change would you make about Adelaide guys?
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Yeah, look, I think we need a theme park, all.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Right, the part you're trying to turn this into Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah something, yeah, something like Saint Kildare in Melbourne or
Gold Coast or like we used to have a Magic
Mountain or something like that, because.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, okay, well we had Dazzle Land.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I mean I think I think,
you know, just like a Sire slide or something.
Speaker 16 (13:40):
You know, summer's coming up.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
We are looking into something like that, you know, don't
you reckon?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I don't mind it, George. It would be maybe good
for some tourism. We get some families traveling to Adelaide.
Although Gold Coast is warmer all year round than us.
Is why they have them.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, I just don't trust the rides. You don't have
to go anywhere I go.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
As long as people are coming to town.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
We like it the way I take it, George, I'm
taking it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
We take it to Amy and Mawson Lakes. Have you
got to change one thing you like to change about Adelaide?
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Yes?
Speaker 17 (14:09):
I love that Rundle Street gets blocked off for the
Fringe Festival, and it's been pumping for Illuminate as well.
But all of the restaurants are open, and then none
of the little boutiques Rundell Mall's completely shut. I think
they need to do extended shopping hours during the Mad
March and Illuminate and get all of those people in
(14:30):
through the other little boutiques and other things, not just
for food areas.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Amy, Can I ask a dumb question here as someone
who agrees and wants to go to all the restaurants.
Have you ever finished dinner at nine o'clock and thought,
I'm desperate to go and buy a dress.
Speaker 17 (14:45):
I did last year for my fortieth The night before
I was walking down Rundle Mall and it was on
one of those days that one of those little pop
up shops was actually open and I found the perfect
dress the night before my birthday party at like, yeah,
nine point thirty or something at night.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
I will say that. And it was the thing about
that you can do that you can go to Zara
at midnight is so cool.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
That's fair.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, all right, we're trying to make a change.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
On the list. All right, we've got like eight or
nine things there.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Did we pick our top five and then we go
on pitch to Mallie. What's gone to our store today?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah, we'll send it straight to him today. Yeah, he's
got nothing else to do.
Speaker 10 (15:23):
Haleen Max In the.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Morning yesterday and hall Att Cove, a very silly, silly
thing happened. Someone his name is Marcus, left his car
and his driveway car on a handbrake off car rolls
back across the road and down a cliff onto the beach.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Incredible pictures. You might have seen them on the news.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
We have Marcus on the line with us now, the
man whose car ended up in the hall Att Cove Bay.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Good morning, Marcus.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
What happens?
Speaker 18 (15:51):
Well, essentially, I've had a problem with the car with
the battery being flat. I've had to jump start up
many times or get the RAA before my neighbor lent
me a jump starter. Yeah, and unfortunately the battery was flat.
On Tuesday, I had to jumpstart it. And my mum
(16:11):
wanted me to do an extra thing for her up
at the shopping center. So I had driven back up
the drive left the car at which I believed I
had left him break And there is no handbrake. There's
only little button.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh on those little pea buttons. They're so confused your mars.
Speaker 18 (16:28):
Sure enough, when I came back, it was all silent
outside where the car should have been, and there were
the neighbors, the local neighbors gathered around the fence, and
I had not connected to me what had happened to
this car. And I actually couldn't believe that this had
happened to the car. That it had rolled down the hill,
(16:50):
fortunately not hitting anybody.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yes, so lucky.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
How far did it roll from your driveway to when
it ran through a fence?
Speaker 18 (16:56):
Well, we do have a fairly steep driveway, but I
guess it was about I don't know, twenty five meters pose.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
And then it went across a road.
Speaker 18 (17:04):
Yes, that's right, and off the cliff. Well, it had
to the fence that it was pushing through because it's
only meant to stop the pedestrians or bicyclists. I suppose.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I mean I'm a morbid person. And the first thing
I thought I was imagine if there were people on
that beach, just walking on haw Att Cove Beach having
a nice well.
Speaker 18 (17:24):
Cut offull access to the beach. Now the council has
since they've put up the bridges, right, Okay, so since
the eighties, I've like brother and I we used to,
you know, climb all over the cliff and stuff like that,
because we didn't you know, the eighties was a different time.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah, this is in the round beach section of cliff
where no one goes. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (17:44):
Are you ensured yes, comprehensively with RA So do they
sort it out?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I don't really know how this works to get you.
Speaker 18 (17:51):
The thing is the thing is that they do have
a private investigator who will grill me for about ninety
minutes and stuff like that, which is fine, you know,
but my mother's eighty five. I don't want her to
go through that sort of stuff. Yeah, And because it's
enough hussle for me to have to deal with, of
you know, fixing up the car and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But market, they're just grilling you that little that little
private investigator grilling you. Is that just to make sure
that you didn't, like, accidentally, on purpose leave the handbrake
off because you don't like your car.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Is that what that's about?
Speaker 18 (18:23):
It could? It could well be, yes, that's what I believe.
The private investigator is sort of trying to shake you
a bit too, because we don't have the same kind
of process in America where they you know, sort of
almost have a have a duel in the in the
court room.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
But you wouldn't do something like that, would your market?
Speaker 18 (18:42):
No, No, it's just they want to make sure that
you know, you've been truthful about what happened. Look, I've got,
you know, wet wallets and wet clothes. I had to
wade into the ocean to get my stuff out of
the car, and you know, put on little rubber booties
and stuff like that so that you could get into
the car. And you know, it was the sun was
(19:05):
going it was sunset when the car sort of went
over the edge, so it was getting even darker past sunset.
When I went to get to the car on the
Tuesday night to get the stuff out.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
The silliest thing you've ever done is that? Would you
say that that's number one?
Speaker 18 (19:20):
Well, look, the thing is that you've got no handbrake.
It's all electronic. I mean, I don't think it's a
good idea not to have a handbrake in a car
because we're all used to that action, you know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, totally, Marcus.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You will never ever leave your car without double checking
all of that for the rest of your life.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
On.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That's something to take out of this.
Speaker 18 (19:40):
But it was all, yeah, well, it's just that everything
is electronic. Now the car will be driving you one
day to the shops. But you know, till that happens,
they still need to leave handbrakes in there and things
like that for people to you know, pull up on
and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So thank you for teaching us all the lesson, Marcus. No,
good luck with the private investigator.
Speaker 18 (20:01):
Bye bye.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Let's make him feel a little bit better. Yeah, yeah,
let's put it out to you the silliest thing that
you've done in a car, because I have a long list.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Silly let's try and keep them above board. Plays Adelaide
thirteen one two three Silliest thing you've done in the car.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Rick and Moleston. Silliest thing you've ever done in a car?
Speaker 15 (20:22):
Yeah, hard morning, guys and MC. Years ago, I had
this nice old valley with really expensive lambs Will seat covers,
which they were back then, and I was picking up
a girlfriend of a friend, girlfriend of mine, and I
(20:43):
was waiting for it to come out of the car,
and I had a bit of a tummy ape absolutely
feel this wind coming on, so I have I had
heard you could set a light to it and it
would banished the smell, but it actually set fire to
these the lambs Will that I was sitting on, and
(21:04):
I had to jump out of the car, and the
old gb D street directory I had to actually put
it out and all you could spell was burg burg wool,
which is probably worse of it, but actually destroyed the
whole streak.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Have you been waiting for a radio station to bring
up this topic for you to close?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
It's incredible unless you didn't smell the fire, So good,
it's young lady.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Friend Dan, you're in more Forville. What is the silliest
thing that happened in a car? In your friend's car?
Speaker 14 (21:34):
So we were driving along and it was a v
Dub car and I was in the back seat, and
we were present along this very bumpy road. Then all
of a sudden, I feel this really warm sensation, realizing
that my butt is on fire because in these Dubs
the batteries in the back seat. So we had to
(21:57):
quickly make an emergency stop pull over, and I think
I pushed the girl in the front seat like through
the windscreen to get.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Out, because you got to kick their front seat down
to get out the door correct, and.
Speaker 14 (22:10):
So then because it was a two door v Dub.
So then what we decided is there was a fire
station a couple of hundred meters up the road. So
I ran up there, passed their ring the doorbell, say
them we need help. Our cars on fire, so thinking
that we're just going to walk the couple of hundred
meters back, but no, they get me into the fire truck,
(22:31):
lights and sirens all the way down there.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
To fire out check the battery.
Speaker 14 (22:38):
That car was destined to kill me because another time
we were driving along that on the way to work
and the bloody door came open or sorry, sorry.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You can say bloody. We've heard worse. Bloody is okay?
Speaker 11 (22:51):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
The job has nearly take it out, Dan yell, Okay, yeah,
it wasn't your fault though, he's just sitting on fire.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Sounds like that car needs to go off a cliff.
Speaker 14 (23:00):
Oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
So then I got how many stories.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Has? Has anything ever gone right? In cars? For Tana, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
We need more, We need more, thirty one two three place,
keep these cars coming. The silliest thing that you have
ever done, the silliest thing that's ever happened to you
in a car.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
They are hilarious. Tat what's the silliest thing you ever
did in your hybrid car?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
In my brand new hybrid car that I was given
from work, I actually drove you in the first day
of work. Droven thought I'd get a coffee, stopped for
a coffee, so I got out the car. I thought
I'd locked the car, gone in, got a coffee, took
my time, checked my hair out, went back to the car,
and the car wasn't turned on. And I'm freaking out, going,
oh my gosh, what have I done to this car?
Is the that true flat? I don't know what's going on.
(23:49):
I'm sitting there, I'm going to dial roadside assistance and
then all of a sudden, I he this and it
turned back on again, and oh my gosh, it was
just so embarrassing the fact that that car was running
the entire time. In got a coffee, took my.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Time, just had to put you from the accelerator.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Realized when cars are quiet these days, you don't know
if it's on or not.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I get it. Bring back diesels, you know, the environment
can wait.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Rachel and West Richmond, watch your story.
Speaker 16 (24:20):
So I just picked my daughter up from childcare. I
put her in her car seat, and then instead of
getting around and getting into the driver's seat like a
normal person, I got into the back accidentally, and then
I had locked myself in the back because of the
child walk So I've had to crawl through the car
(24:40):
to get back.
Speaker 14 (24:41):
To my driver's seat.
Speaker 16 (24:42):
And then there was a lady, like just like a
random just standing there watching and she's like, what is
this lady doing?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Playing a fun game?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
The car is terrifying. Yeah, oh, Rachel, I love that story.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Okay, Lorraine and Oldinger Beach, silliest thing you ever did.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
In the car?
Speaker 19 (25:04):
Hey guys, look it wasn't me, it was my dad,
And my dad is amazing. But I remember when we
were younger, I must have been about eight years old,
and we had to reverse the car out of the
driveway a little bit to be able to bring the
dream bins up to the top of the driveway. And
this one particular day, he was in a hurry and
he thought he pressed the brake, and he pressed the
(25:24):
accelerator and took the driver's door off of the hinges.
Oh no, you could just imagine how happy my mum was.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
I've been memorim when we were younger. And then, of
course the second story about my dad as well. I
had just recently divorced, got the dream of my job.
I was starting my chef in career and I had
to drive to Gula, And so Dad came around to
do the manly thing and make sure that my car
was filled up with water and oil. And I know,
(25:56):
I goblets him and he didn't. He forgot that my
car was an manual, not an automatic, and he forgot
to put the clutch in and bummy hopped it really fast.
Room my roller door and keep my whole garage. Yea,
my whole garage, my whole roller door in classic.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh Dad, that's what you get for trying to help
me get somewhere.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
So funny. Hopping is one of the most embarrassing things
that would happen in public.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Recolard McDonald's drive through.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I got a thirty cent cone and it was so small,
and I looked at the woman.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I said, is that a sample? And then I went
to take off my cars in Neutral and I just
reped it.
