The New York Times’ Astead Herndon literally ran out of gas while driving through New Hampshire to cover the Dem primary race because he was distracted by the podcast he was listening to:

At least he kept his sense of humor about it all:

He was gaslit . . . by his car?

He was later saved by fellow journos Jess Bidgood and Matt Flegenheimer:
