You're actually. be an inappropriate question. Okay. Great way to start the show. It is Friday. Let's go.

Because I don't got to see you people for another week after today. That's right. That's right.

You're actually taking some time off. If you're going to totally disrupt the flow of traffic,

shouldn't you have to do the bare minimum and direct the traffic? Are you talking about your drive-in this

morning? Yeah. So 70 is backed up. Fine. Somebody was driving irresponsibly. I don't know what the deal was, but the 70s backed up. I'm listening to the Matt Bear Traffic Report. I'm getting all the details and say, okay, I'm going to exit and I'm going to get off on exit 77, better known as Holt Road.

Thank you. Yes, which will, since I know Washington Street is now open, though, you told me, you said it's not in great shape, but it's now open. Oh, boy, you got the full experience. So I said, all right, I'm going to exit 77. I'm going to get on Holt. I'm going to get on Washington, I'm going to come to work and I'm going to see how bad this actually is.

Yes.

Now, keep in mind, they've been on Washington. Is it three years?

It's, yeah. It's two and a half going on three years. Okay. So, so three years on whatever they've been doing.

I don't know what it is. And I thought it can't be as bad as Casey's been describing. Maybe she's just immune now. It's been so porous for so long, she's immune to how good it's getting. Yeah. And thoughts? It's worse than I imagine. Yes. Thank you. But that's not the worst part. The condition of the road itself, which I don't know what they've been doing for three years. I don't know either. Why did they have all those lanes closed? And then when they reopen them, they're worse off than when they had them closed. Yeah, everything's horrible. But this is the, that is the smaller of the problems we have here. Oh, okay. The bigger of the problems is they have all of these cones and then they force you basically in like some sort of figure eight to maneuver from one lane to the next. Yes. And we are talking morning rush hour. We're not saying that I came in at four in the morning. We're talking morning rush hour I'm coming in and there is no one directing traffic like stop or go other than some guy standing

on the side of the road waving to people like he's just pointing like aggressively like go

keep going stop no guy with a stop no guy with a slow yeah and he is because the person in front

of me I'm trying to figure out what's going on because I'm behind this car and I'm like, why is this

person going so slow?

They didn't know where to go. No, and then I realized it's not even their fault and they're looking at this guy like, go, don't go. Because at some point you're in the lane of traffic coming in the other direction and what it's like they're just like wish you the best. Yes, that's exactly. Exactly. Now, did you see the three guys standing around just talking?

Oh, three! At one point of count of five. Really? There were two on

one side of the road, two on the other side of the road, and the one guy waving with his one finger

and being a real smart ass with his body language at this driver ahead of me, like, I can't believe

you don't know to go. And the person, you can see them in front, basically like putting their hands up going, but the cars, they're coming. They're coming right at me. Right, exactly. And no one's stopping them. Now that you've had the full experience that I've endured every single morning for two and a half years now, aren't you amazed how I can arrive in such a good mood?
