We've had some cars run into the bury wall, not paying attention, they were on their phone. Taxing, scrolling, yeah, that's bad. Most often they be on their phones or they're not paying attention, they can cause a crash. We could stand on the side of the road and watch every other vehicle looking down into their lap as they're passing us. You know what they're looking at. They're looking at their phone. Phones. On their phones, not paying attention.

Phones. I'm not a mathematician, but I say probably about 80% of the people who pass me

are on their telephones. No call, text, or video is worth putting yourself for a road worker

in danger. When driving through construction, Lyuna members ask you for your sake and hours. Slow down, stay off your phone, please. Be aware where we're at, where the cone zones are at. Stay off your phones and buckle up and drive safe. We're not asking for much. This is Brian Short, business manager for the Indiana Labor District Council. Everyone deserves a safe place to work. Do your part in the cone zone. Slow down, save a

life. We're all in this together. A message from Lippers International Union of North America and

affiliated locals.

Good morning, everybody. This is your 9 to 12 morning crew, everybody.

This is your 9-12 morning crew.

Ethan and Jerry on there.

And we're very lucky that Jerry was able to make it into the radio station on time this morning.

Because Jerry, you have had a heck of a morning, my friend.

Tell the listeners all about it.

Let's just say I've had a

case of the Mondays. All right. So I live in Carmel and got all the way down here well early. I was going to be probably well before you. By the time you saw me, Ethan Hatcher, I'd been sitting on Meridian for an hour. Okay. So I get down here. I thought they would have had you cleared out by then because I saw you post about it and I wished I'd have had my phone out for when I heckled you.

But I figured you were cleared out by then because I saw you post about it. And I wished I'd have had my phone out for when I heckled you.

But I figured you were cleared out by that point. So I get down here, get off a meridian, bust a left. I'm way early. Let me grab some McDonald's. I get McDonald's coming back around. I'm under the bridge, literally under the bridge and the car turns off. it is, I can walk to, I did walk to the radio station, two and a half minute walk,

but here I am in this lane just sitting there and a cop pulls up behind me.

Shout out to IMPD officer, Henshaw, super cool guy, took care of me, sat there for a full hour.

You come rolling up.

You can't park there. You can't park there. You can't park there. And then guess what Ethan Hatcher does? He just keeps driving down the road. That's the guy that's going to be sitting next to you sitting there. See you. And he's trolling me. So the cop looks at me and he goes, do you know him?

And I was like, oh, that's Ethan Hatchery.

Well, it's getting ready to get worse, Jerry, because living in Carmel, you could be receiving a rather precipitous property tax increase coming up. I couldn't believe this.
