Dan and the Dance. Dan Patrick shown interesting Monday night game.
We'll recap that the baseball as well. Have that for you.
Dave Simms, the Yankee play by play voice, will join
us and maybe Fritzi and Dave have a conversation because
Fritzi had a problem with Dave's lack of enthusiasm with

(00:27):
a grand slam by Vlad Guerrero against the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Last enthusiasm more.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
A grand Slam's a grand slam, whether it's for your
team or not. It's a playoff game, it's a big
play in the game.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Once again, don't say it to me, say it Todave.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
You look forward to putting me on the spot with them.

DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls.

(01:28):
Recapping the game last night. The Chiefs used to be
the NFL's gold standard. You had stability, you had brilliant
you had Patrick Mahomes, you had Andy Reid, you had
a defense that was among the league's best. But last
night they got clipped thirty one twenty eight. They're now
two and three. So for the first time in years

(01:49):
like this feels like two and three, uh oh, not
two and three. They're the Chiefs. They'll be able to
come back.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Do I think getting a couple of wide receivers back
was certainly help. You know, you don't have reliable receivers there,
but still Jacksonville did what you want a team, a
playoff team or a playoff worthy team do, and that
is you're down, you rely on your quarterback and you
pull out the win. So that's back to back wins.

(02:17):
You've beaten the Niners. In the Chiefs, you're four and one.
Trevor Lawrence looks steady, defense, opportunistic. Liam Cohen the new
head coach, he looks battle tested. As for the Chiefs,
I guess slipping a little bit, and maybe the Jags
are rising a little bit. But either way, that gap
between Kansas City and the rest of the AFC not

(02:37):
as wide as it used to be.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
And there were a.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Couple of moments in there where Mahomes did what you
thought Mahomes would do. I thought they had a terrible
kickoff by Harrison Butker that put Jacksonville at the forty
yard line, and then Trevor Lawrence made a couple of
big plays and Jacksonville is now four and one, tied
with Buffalo and tied with the Colts with the best

(03:02):
record in the NFL. All right, Seaton, what's pole question
we're going to go with. By the way, the Jags
four and one start the best start through five games
since two thousand and seven when they started four and one.

(03:26):
The stat of the Day brought to you by Panini
America the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Who was on the seven team? It's like Mark Brunell
on there. Yeah, Paul, I know.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Fred Taylor is on there. He was their start. I
just looked up David Garrard.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Oh, pro bowler, David Garrard.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah, he kind of came out of nowhere, had a
breakout year.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, David Garard. I think that was his only Pro Bowl.
But he played well.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
He was tough. Uh Seaton Pole. Question.

Speaker 7 (03:55):
Well, we're just putting up the weekly Power and Dower rankings. Okay,
very exciting. Your options for the Power rankings are Detroit, Philly, Buffalo, Tampa,
Green Bay, Denver, Indie, and making. I think their first
appearance would be the Jacksonville Jaguars off of a big win.
Congratulations you guys on.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
The top eight. Wow?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, those are the Power rankings. Who's the best team
in the NFL? Is that what you're asking?

Speaker 7 (04:24):
We are we're asking right now who the most powerful
team in the NFL?

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Are? Okay? Or and then we're gonna have the Dower
rankings as well.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
Yes, your Dower rankings. You can also vote on those.
Right there. We have let's see the Jets, Titans, Dolphins, Giants, Raiders, Saints, Bengals,
and Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yes, wait, should the Bengals be on there?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
With two wins, They've been outscored by seventy one points
this year. The Bengal very.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
Dowerful, very dowerful, very dowerful.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Dang dang.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
All right, the best team in Pro football right now
is who?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Marvin? The Philadelphia Eagles, all right, Paul the Lions, no doubt, Dodd.
I'm still going to lean towards the Eagles, all right.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
Seaton, I'm gonna say Destois.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm going to say Detroit as well, because they had
a quality loss. Well, they lost to Green Bay at
Green Bay, but they look formidable offensively. I think that
was our big question. Oh, they lost their offensive coordinator
and you get Aiden Hutchinson back, and that team is
That team seems to be great on both sides of

(05:36):
the ball. The Eagles, I still have questions. There's something
going on there. I don't want to rely on Jalen
Hurts to beat the opposition through the air. I think
when there's a combo platter, that's when the Eagles are great,
the defense consistent, then they can be the best team
in football, But you know, Sakwan Barkley not running the

(05:58):
ball and you're going to throw it thirty eight times. Okay,
that's not the formula. And we certainly saw that. They've
allowed teams to stay around. Now the Chiefs did that.
They've made a you know, a tradition out of close games.
Everybody is within one score, but they pulled those games out.

(06:18):
You can't continue to do that now they have, they've
had sustained greatness, but sometimes it catches up with you.
And you had the stumble Rooskie with Trevor Lawrence last night,
and this is how it sounded. When he scored the
game winner.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Trevor under center pace looked and he fell down.

Speaker 7 (06:37):
Trevor fell down on the play, don't play.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
Run in cut down. He got up, he found under
the plays I got Kadenny Trevor Lawrence credit.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I'd like to know how that voice today. That's courtesy
of the Jags Radio Network. Trevor Lawrence, his foot got
stepped on by his center. He falls down. Chris Jones,
the great defensive lineman for the Chiefs, can't find him.
It's like I somehow lost a six' five. Guy and
Then lawrence, stumbles gets back, up and THEN i think

(07:21):
the defense is, like, well wait a, minute is the play?
Dead like what's going on? Here and he dives in
for the game. Winner, YEAH i, Said.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
Todd'll be happy to know that was actually the chiefs
call of that, town.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Showing some.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
Enthusias it's a big moment in the.

Speaker 5 (07:38):

Moment in the.

Speaker 2 (07:39):

If we remove a good quarterback because that's kind of
the middle of the road, answer, Right, YEAH i think
he's gonna be. Good, okay what if he's either going

Disappointing he's shown. GLIMPSES i think that's the problem sometimes
when you see guys.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Where you, go why do you like this all the?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Time, well that's the difference between difference between good and,
great and it's the. Consistency it's weak in and week,
out being, threatening being, good coming up with great moments
and we just haven't seen that from. Him, yeah SO
i would SAY i would lean towards a, disappointment but

(12:09):
only because the expectation level was through the roof for
him and should have. Been but you, know maybe it
took a while to get through The Urban meyer. Phase, Yeah, paul.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
It's almost apples and. Orgious he came in Like Andrew
luck at college where there's just no doubt and it's
been a nice. Career it's apples and norgous to Like Zion,
Williamson Zion Wadeton wilson's career when he's, healthy it is.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Nice he's.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Good he's a good. Player he's not. Spectacular what else.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
See the uh, well and you, KNOW i mean He
Trevor lawrence came into college a sure. Thing he didn't
even go into THE nfl was sure that he was in.
College everybody was, waiting, like, man it's too bad he's
got to play, here because he could just jump right
to the next. Level h, man talk about a guy
who needed a season like this, though.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well just a game hole much start with a game
that takes a little bit of the heat off of.
Him but you, know you're four and, one but you're
in a division where are the?

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Colts for?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Real are The texans going to come back after what
they did Against? Baltimore so maybe maybe you have a
little bit more of a competitive. Division usually that's you,
know THE Nfc south and THE Afc south are just not.
Good Here's Trevor lawrence on his thoughts during his go

(13:27):
ahead touchdown on the Stumble.

Speaker 9 (13:29):
Rooskie just, panic, honestly BECAUSE i was trying to get
up to get the ball out of my. Hands so the,
CLOCK i, mean we didn't have any, timeouts so just
TRY i was really going to just stand up and
like launch it out of the back of the end.
Zone but THEN i had a little bit of a,
lane SO i took it and you, know score from.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
There it was interesting to see. Him HE'S i think
he's shocked that he fell. Down nobody tackled. Me i'm
going to get back. Up now what DO i? Do
and all of a sudden to the left he saw
there was an opening there AND i think he was
just kind of, GOING i THINK i can get To
i'm going to score a.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Touchdown, Yes, god he actually.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Stumbled twice on that.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Player once is enough to be able to gather himself
after two trips and not give up on the play
was pretty.

TALL i think he grew in the off. Season he
might be seven to. Six but he's handling the, ball

Speaker 3 (16:53):
GREAT i think SAID mvp this. Season so where where
we did already?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
BACK i DID, Mvp. Todd just make sure we got
your own record. There, Yes Paul.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
Well last year before he got shut, down his stats
were up to twenty four points per, game four, blocks eleven,
rebounds four. Assists at age twenty, one.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
He's the best two way player in the. Game that
should have been you, know they don't give Him Defensive
player of The. Year they should have because he can
guard you while being in the. Paint you can be
on the. Perimeter that's. Impactful but, yeah watching it was,
fun it was. FUN i got caught up In Cooper.
Flag he played well point Guard Cooper. Flag he plays

(17:36):
bigger than six.' eight i think he's working on. HIS
jumper i wondered if he could get that jumper off
because it seemed a, little slow but it looked a
lot quicker. LAST night I Know kyrie irving's been working,
with HIM but i. LIKED it i LIKE what i,
saw there a lot. Of fun, and, then Uh When,
ben yama it's just weird to see a seven five

(17:58):
point guard out there. Playing point he's. Point center but
then You know joker has. Done this But Ween, ben
yama he is gonna be tough to. Deal, With, yes marvin.

Speaker 12 (18:09):
The most overused term in pro sports or in sports
in general is. Generational talent but Not For Victor. Win
binyama this is who they're talking about when you talk
about a. Generational talent He is Shaq Meets.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Kevin, durant yeah but this is where you look at
everything that's happened with the evolution of. The game where
the big man can handle, the ball he's on, you
know he'll be on, fast breaks he'll, shoot threes but
he can also. Block shots because you can't just be That,
Singular hey i'm just a guy who stays in and
as a. Rim protector they want you to be so.

(18:44):
Much more and You're playing european style basketball where your
big man has to be able, to pass has to
be able, to shoot, you know just good ball handling skills,
as well no matter what your. Size, IS, Yeah pauli.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
And twenty five, years ago maybe thirty, years ago he
wouldn't be allowed to. Play outside remember That Player, keith
kloss he was seven. To three he played For. The
clippers he had to play center because he wasn't allowed to.
Play outside and then twenty years ago a guy could
be over six eleven and play the.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Swing position we've.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Seen it Before Because ralph samson had the potential to
be able to be that kind. Of Player sean BRADLEY
at byu not so much IN, the nba BUT when i,
saw him he was seven five and he was hitting
pull up jumpers from fifteen eighteen. Feet away so this,
is coming had been coming for quite. Some time but

(19:36):
it's kind of like we've changed what we want out
of our, big man because it used to be like
get down on, the blocks don't you're not supposed to
be on the, fast.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Break or you're.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Shooting threes and then all of, a sudden It's Like
dirk noavisky came, to town and then all of, a
sudden we, went, oh okay seven footers can shoot and
actually encouraging you. To Shoot kevin durant's seven, feet tall
but YOU know. I. Can't now, we had, you know
big men who. Could Shoot bob lanier was a great,

(20:05):
you know he was a, big man but he, could
shoot had. Great touch we've Had dan issel was a
guy who, played center was a. Great shooter there's a
lot of. Those players but they weren't handling. The ball
they weren't on, the point they weren't leading. Fast Breaks
and wemby only needs like four strides to go coast. To,
Coast yeah PAUL.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
And i know they play the. Position Differently But yao
ming twenty years ago his, Best Season yao ming at
seven six was twenty, five points, eleven rebounds two and a.
Half blocks those are, nice Numbers but wemby's already.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Passed, those Yeah But yo ming was on, the.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Block, yep like he wasn't leading any, fast breaks he wasn't,
shooting threes but you know they wanted him down on.
The blocks They Had katina Mobley And stevie francis that
were handling the point. Guard duties, But Yeah yo ming
was a skilled, big man but nowhere near what we've
Seen With. Wemben yama, all.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
Right h ball.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Last Night thank god For the dodgers, starting pitchers because
their bullpen is. Not Good the dodgers starting pitchers are
four to zero in THE postseason era one point seven.
To five now the opposition is batting one thirty six.
Against Starters the dodgers' bullpen is six point NINETY, seven

(21:22):
era and the opposition batting three, twenty six, eleven strikeouts
nine walks in ten innings. Of work but they Came
through snell looked, great again and Now the dodgers go
back home trying to close. THIS out i was wondering
how many pitches have been at least one hundred miles

(21:42):
an hour in. THE postseason i know, it's random but it,
feels like, You Know, jacob mizarowski he was. In there
he threw three. Scoreless innings he threw fifty. Seven pitches
thirty one of the fifty seven were at least one
hundred miles. An, hour now there've already been one hundred
and eighty nine pitches of one hundred mile an hour

(22:05):
or more in, the postseason the most in any postseason
since two thousand. And nine but it just feels like
the next guy up is throwing a hundred and the
next guy shouldn't the knuckleball make? A? Comeback LIKE can
i go to the opposite end of the. Spectrum here

(22:26):
it's like when everybody started passing IN, the NFL and,
i go somebody's going to start, running again and then we,
you know the pendulum is swung back. That way but
you've got to be able to teach somebody. The knuckleball
and there's only a few that have. Mastered It but
i'm just wondering if can you be a, crafty pitcher crafty? Right, Hander,

(22:48):
Yes todd and.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
It doesn't seem that long ago in the it is
the History Of Major league baseball when some Of My
goose Gossage Or, al raboski there were certain guys that
come out there and maybe for a few pitches or,
an inning they throw their absolute hardest and that was
like a big deal.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Back, then wow this is just rare.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
And unique and now it's become, so commonplace is it
because of the surgeries and job and everything where people
are afraid to throw?

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Their, Armor well baseball's.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Encouraging this all baseball has to say is, you know
we want to. Develop pictures these are throwers for the,
most part and, baseball, says oh you blew out, your
arm go. Get surgery we'll bring in. Another person and
it feels like the, Pictures, understand hey that's.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
My role this.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Is good it's inevitable that you're going to have it
Feels Like tommy. John surgery and the fact THAT and
i brought this up a, couple times but it bears
REPEATING that i work out with a physical therapist and
we were, just talking and he works out with a
lot of young, baseball players and he said twice in
the last five years he's had parents come to him,

(23:53):
and say what do you think About Having tommy? John
surgery and the GUY that i work out, with, says
wait he doesn't. Need it he goes like it in
an elective that you're Gonna go i'm gonna get IT
before i have to. Get it my g, Goes, no
no like we're gonna. Be proactive let's go in and.

(24:16):
Get surgery it'd Be like i'm gonna go in and,
you know get knee surgery EVEN though i don't, need
it just SO when i do, Need, it uh, You
know i've already, had, It, YEAH.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
Paul a couple. Of things the only active Knuckleballer Is.
Matt waldron he pitches For the padres and he doesn't
even throw it. THAT much i MEAN. Ra a dickey
was the last guy to throw it. With SUCCESS and
i was looking at some. Recruiting websites it's all. Trickled
down if you want a college scholarship in baseball as,
a pitcher you have to come in. With velocity so
that means that the pool of high velocity pitchers goes right.

(24:48):
To college and so there's no guys who are throwing
junk balls are going to get a college scholarship.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
These DAYS but i, just wonder you know the history,
of baseball if you looked at different eras and you
said to, the pitchers you have to throw hard the.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Only way you know we.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Want You So tom glavin he can't. Throw hard maddox
threw hard for a, little while but, You know clemmens,
through hard chilling. Through hard but these guys are one
hundred miles an Hour. Like nolan ryan would have been
great in any era, even now, you know throwing one
hundred miles, an hour but.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
He did it for an.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Entire game it's not like you brought him in for
eighteen pitches and he's going to throw one hundred miles
an hour for fourteen.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
Of those it's just.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Baseball's philosophy baseball doesn't care about. Batting averages we'll talk
more about this With Mad dog russo he'll join us
a little bit Later on, All right Chris. And syracuse, Good,
morning chris what's on your?

Speaker 5 (25:44):
Mind? Today Hey.

Speaker 13 (25:45):
THANKS danny i wanted to comment on last night's game
AND if i could Comment on. Lebron, Today Yeah trevor
lawrence is starting to show a, little toughness so maybe
that can take him from disappointed. To great, and yeah
great game. Last NIGHT and, i know just barely pass
the quarterpole in, the Season and Casey and baltimore could
end up having long. Playoff runs but it's kind OF

(26:06):
nice nfl set up. For parity they're fading off a.
Little bit Teams like Jackson and indy are, coming on
and unlike baseball this time, of year you Need the
dodgers And the yankees in. The Playoffs for get all,
your viewers but, in football we'll watch no matter who's.
Ever on, and yeah as Far. AS lebron a few
people are saying it knew and he's going to. Announce
it he's going to. Retire immediately there's. NO way, i

(26:27):
mean maybe probably announced that he's going to retire at
the end of the season because he wants his victory
tour in every city so we can pay homage, to
him which. He has coming twenty three years at that level.
Is incredible but, for me it makes me think About
How tim duncan did it and, you know no WeGo
and he was just always classy. And, understated yeah, to
me that's.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Very, impressive well this feels like a Partnership with Amazon,
with lebron and it feels like that this is this.
Is business, you know one day he obviously. WILL retire
i don't know how he'll, announce it but it does
feel like it would be a. SEASON long, I mean
i mine was a four, Year ROLLOUT so i can't

(27:07):
sit here and Complain about lebron if he's going to
Go and i'm this is my, last SEASON but i
don't think this has anything to do with.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Retirement, Today Yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Paul, lebron james nineteen hours ago on all his social
channels posted the Decision Of All decisions, october seventh Twelve
pm eastern Hashtag The, Second decision and it's him sitting

Speaker 2 (27:45):
In this if you're going to really, tease this Then
Have jim gray back and go to a, you know a,
boy's club boys and girls club Somewhere In.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Los, angeles, Yes, time yes.

First one, Thank.

Speaker 14 (28:02):
You.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Todd, UH yeah, I don't. I don't i don't think
this has any permanence.

Speaker 15 (28:09):

Speaker 7 (28:10):
It yeah, See YEAH like i think he's announcing like
a new. HEADPHONE deal I think i think it's actually
LIKE and i have just Signed With. State farm i'm The.
New jake like it's not gonna be anything about his
future or. A team it's some kind of a business
deal that then like And now i'm pretty Taking The Lebron,
James chain tapple and then something.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Like, That, yes marvin.

Speaker 12 (28:33):
This is kind of on the same level is when
you see Guys Like meg Ryan And. Billy crystal oh
they took. A photo are they doing a? New, movie
no it's just A super, bowl commercial that's all.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
This, Is.

Speaker 6 (28:43):

Speaker 2 (29:04):
The canvas, get up you take, the punches you get
right back up to tend. Get, up yeah this feels
like it's just a business opportunity. FOR him i don't
know if this is the platform or the presentation to
announce that he's going. To retire it feels like you'd

(29:25):
have your family there and, you know make it a
big deal, that way maybe a couple of tears.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Or, Something, yes bolly it drives.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Me crazy because, you know about a, month ago there
are some creative marketing type dudes in a, room going
let's pretend it's a second Announcement for lebron and he's
going to drop A new DraftKings thing or whatever, it
is and, they, think oh this is gonna be. So
cute people buy into it and. Tune in it usually
has a backlash against whatever the.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Product, IS yeah. I, Know yeah like the last thing
that he would want or should want is another decision
because that didn't, go.

Speaker 7 (29:58):

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Mind, today yeah, Good morning.

Speaker 16 (30:27):
Thanks for taking. My call i've got a Scenario for
fritzy in regarding Driving in michigan or driving anywhere where
you've got two or three or four semis in the
right lane.

Speaker 14 (30:39):
You're passing i'm.

Speaker 16 (30:40):
Passing slowly they're limited to fifty five miles. An hour
Let's say i'm going seventy Two and i've got some
clown coming up on the right wants to sneaky in ahead,
of me and my Scenario is i'm going to speed
up a little bit to block. HIM out i don't
know if that's ever Happened to fritzi, or Not but
i'm kind of AN aggressive i take great pleasure and

(31:02):
for people to think their time is more valuable. Than
mine so that's my my driving in the left.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Lane, scenario right Seems like jim has a. Driving problem
there the, only time.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
The Only time i'm get involved with.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
BLOCKING someone I, know seaton that's how a big, pet
peeve as, he said like. Last week but someone that's
a cutting the line when you're trying to get off
the highway and someone's just using the pullover lane and
they're just crawling and they're going, past there but you've
been waiting a half hour for your chance to get off,
the exit and this guy's going to get off in.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
THREE minutes i just remembered THAT when i Moved from
OHIO and i my wife Is From, new YORK and
i Remember How new yorkers. WERE driving i, WAS like
i couldn't, believe it like they would just, like pass,
you know in the breakdown lane and then pull in
right at the. Last Second and i'd say to, MY wife,
i go what what are? They doing, she, Goes what

(31:52):
that's Just How new. Yorkers drive i'm Coming. From ohio, i'm, like, no.
No yeah just to, be.

Speaker 7 (31:59):
Clear that is not my. Pet peeve my pet peeve
is not people like going down the shoulder and cutting
everybody in line to get off of. An exit my
pet peeve is when there's construction and the construction crew
the dot, is say taking four lanes down, to three
and you know they do the cones that sort of

(32:20):
gradually take you all the way. Down there when somebody
about a half a mile before the cones decides to
park in the left lane that fourth lane that's going
down to the, third one so no one else can
go all the way up to, the cones that's my.
Pet peeve that's the PERSON that i hate more than
anyone else in. The Road like i'm not letting you
go up. Any further i'm THE one i decide this

(32:40):
is where.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Traffic.

Speaker 7 (32:41):
Starts now it's like they put those cones there for,
a reason and it's. For everybody it's called the. Zipper
merge everybody is supposed to, go in but there's always
like A gigantic suv, Who's like i'm not letting anyone.
Else in this is where you have. TO stop i hate.
That person but.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Then you also have, you know the cones are, up
there and you're going for from four lanes to.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Three lanes but.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
You get all of these cars that go all the
way up to the cones and then, go in well
like you're supposed to, be, waiting correct like your supposed
is waiting.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
In, line yes it's.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
Called traffic but everybody else had the opportunity to go
up to those, cones too and they chose. Not to
that's what you're supposed to go up to. The cones
that's what you're supposed. To, Do, Yes todd i'm sure.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
There's a better phrase, for it but whatever happened to,
the uh Just.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Common curtsey if, YOU go, i go, YOU go, i
go that's out, the window Especially In.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
New, YORK right i let. You in i'm not gonna let.

Speaker 14 (33:29):

talking about is, YOU go, i go, YOU go. I
go it's called the. Zipper merge you're supposed to do
it up At. The cones that's Exactly what i'm. Talking
about letting ten CARS and i let.

lot of the stadium or. AN arena i can't let
