Speaker 1 (00:00):
Josha ninety three three fls Tampa Bay's number one and
only hit music channels. Some of the shows are on
all over the place, which is cool. I hope one
day we get that, but we'll never leave Tampa. But
the gift of being on here is the fact that
we get to complain about some things. Yes, and this
is a group complain eight hundred four oh nine ninety three,
(00:24):
ninety three.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Where is the worst road.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In Tampa Tampa Bay all across west central Florida. Yes,
so many people in Sarasota, we got people in Orlando listening.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We're all over.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I want to know from you what is the worst
road in Tampa Bay. And this is all because of
Ashley eight hundred four oh nain ninety three, ninety three.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What was the news story?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, so they did a report saying that Tampa Bay
area is among the top five places with the worst
roads in the United States. And this is because Auto
Service and Tires Company pet Boys. They analyze the data
from one thousands of centers and they were able to
compile this and say, okay, Tampa Bay, Ara, you guys
have higher than average repair activity, which means we're going
(01:16):
through the repair shop a lot more than other people
in the United States getting our tires worked on.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Which to me is crazy because like up north, they
have potholes like crazy. I'm shocked to hear that we're
that high up.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So researchers link the tire repairs in the South to
road debris or uneven services surfaces, which could lead to.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Punctures and tire replacements.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I want to say, I've had to buy tires maybe
like every year.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
But I'm also an interesting driver, not a bad driver.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Sometimes it's self inflicted. I'm an interesting driver, not a
bad driver. To me, it's not even about potholes. I've
said this before, I'll say it again. Living off of Olmerton.
Olmerton is not the worst road in Tampa Bay. It
is not the worst road in Florida. It's not the
(02:11):
worst road in America. It is the worst road in
the world. Anytime I have anyone visit and they ask
me how long is it gonna take to get here?
How long is it gonna take to get there?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I go, well, it's either gonna take five minutes or
it will take an hour and a half. The choice
is yours. At the time you leave. It makes absolutely
no sense. And mind you too, if anyone you know,
if you live in the Saint Pete Largo Clearwater area,
(02:46):
where you gotta take that road. If you're driving from
like right right when you get off the Howard Franklin Bridge,
and then you take it all the way to Indian Rocks,
you might hit forty seven stoplights. It makes absolutely zero sense.
I don't know who decided to make it the way
it is.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That's so long.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Whoever did jail tomatoes? Anything else I can throw at you,
I'm doing it. Catherine's disagrees. Catherine.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What is the worst road in Tampa?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
It's Willow Street. It's Willow Street right, It's the cobblestone
street of Willow right before Maine. I don't know if
you can picture kind of over by University of Tampa. Yes,
it is awful.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I used to little over there. I hate it, so
I moved.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I drive it every morning taking my daughter to Blake
High School, and it's awful. It's like you think you're
gonna pop a higher.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I sometimes like the whole shaky road because I feel
like I'm on a horse.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Thoughts on that I.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Don't remember, Like if you if you drive down certain
parts of evil or do you know, like the brick.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I don't like driving the bad I feel like it's
like back in the old. I don't like that. I'm like,
I'm really screwing my tires up right now, right.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, even if you could like maybe ride one of
the horses in.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Fun.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Thank you, Catherine Jed. What is the worst?
Speaker 7 (04:22):
The worst road is Nebraska, and I'm not and I'm
saying that because it's like over no no, no, no, no, no,
It's all you get to do is five dollars. My
point is it's like two lanes going either way and
it's like super narrow, and then on top of that,
it's just the they have the curbs that sit super
(04:45):
high on the right side of the road, so if
you're driving and they're also really messed up like potholes
or something like that. That's the minor thing that My
point is, it's narrow and you're close to the side
of the road with all the curbs, so if you
make one wrong turn, your tires toast, Your wheel is toast.
The whole entire thing is toast. And it sucks because
I have so many places over there that I love
(05:05):
going to, like there's great food, there's.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Great live music.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
So it's like, I like, is it really worth the
risk of having to replace all four of my tires.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Because of this? Nope, they tire should be free in Tampa.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Road, Like as soon as it changes over from Hillsboro
to Tampa Road. Oh my god. It's like you go
from Hillsborough County, which is like road's okay, okay, it's
not bad, and then you go to the panel's side
of it. The penel side just sucks.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I also have PTSD on I four just because when
I drive on that road, I don't even want to
jinx myself, but I always get a rock and I
get my windows shattered, not shattered, but I always get
that little hair that hairline fraction, yes, and I get
so mad. I feel like Semashade on rope period because
they don't want to as making meat.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What do you have my car bugged? No?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The gooch? Who the Gooch is Jed Andi's best buddy.
He's calling into the show. Actually it's seven. He wants
to do his own topics, so I allow him to
do that. Him and I spent maybe forty five minutes
a couple of days ago debating whether the fact that
those trucks that have the rocks that fly out, how
(06:16):
much money they should actually pay if they damage your
car because they don't have to pay an I believe
that they should replace your windshield.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Grant says they should replace the windshield and give double
the money just in case they do it again and
the person drives away.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
No, I was gonna say, I need to double the
money just because of like how like hurd I am
about it like emotional distress.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We're talking about the worst road in Tampa Bay and
truthfully all of Florida. If you're if you're listening anywhere
right now, call in and fill me in on that.
You might be teaching me about other roads. I said, Olmerton,
and look at that, Olivia said, and had a red
light on Elmerton.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Yeah, I hate this drive. I go this way to
go to school and it just drives me insane.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I hate it.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I don't know how you live over here.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, I don't know either. It's the worst. Quite literally
is the worst.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
There's so many redsite and everyone's driving so slow for
some reason. I don't know if it's because they're like
just making up or what it is, but it's my
least fiver drive ever. And yea twice a week. Thankfully
I don't have to come over here too much more
than that. But I'm so ready to like be done
with school and not have to drive this suady Mark.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Do you go to school, you know?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I go to school SPC.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I'm in the vet tech program.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I love that. I love that. That's where my fiance went.
And uh, she said one time she saw an alligator walking.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Is that true?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Probably there's a lot of like little water ponds, like reservoirs,
but you.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Never know a little scary.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I went to college in Chicago. I saw instead of alligators,
we would see crackheads. By the way, it's very similar.
They have an aggressive bite and they won't let go
look that up. They take Olivia, Hold on one second, Nolan,
you have info on the rock trucks.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Yes, hey guys, good morning.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
By the way, so before I was doing locksmithing, I
was actually in construction. So I was on the construction
site working for the construction company, and the people came
through and I was like, hey, have you been behind
any rock trucks lately? If you have, even if they're
your own, we can fill out this paperwork and they
will replace the windshield for you for free, no cost
(08:38):
to you whatsoever. I'm like a bet s, no way
that's going to happen. Sure enough, I filled out the paperwork.
Later that week, I got a phone call from the
window company, uh scheduled through the rock truck people, and
they've came to the job site and replaced my windshield
in my pickup for free.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
So basically I got to take a picture of their
license OR'd like.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Top it's the picture of the company. So you just
call the company and be like, hey, good week. Behind
truck truck eighteen and they drop rocks out and my
window broke.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Say like, how I'm driving? How I'm driving?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (09:11):
Hold on, let's say yeah, So here's the kicker because
a lot of those trucks say stay back fifty feet.
So if you're riding that truck's tailgate and it falls
off and they've got those cameras on the back that
see your tailgate them, unfortunately your window is yours.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I've never seen one that's say fifty feet but okay, noted.
All right, thank you, Nolan, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Carlos. Worst road in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
North down Maybury.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Baby, I'm telling you during game day heading south whoo horrible,
absolutely horrible?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Right? Good?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
And how's my family doing?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Listen, We're feeling great. How are you?
Speaker 8 (09:50):
I'm seeing great. I'm just jealous. I wasn't on that
cruise with you guys.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Hey, Joe shows second Inau Girl Cruise. That's what we're
going to call it. That's what we're going to call it.
No announcement on it yet. We got a couple of
people still on that boat. But when they get back
from the Margaritaville at Sea Islander trip with Jones and Company,
who's one of our favorite shows in Sarasota, we are
going to put together something crazy. We're going to give
(10:15):
you guys about a year to play in and save
and join us. We'll give you more info coming up, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Carlos, Josh, Yeah, I do, Bud. What's up, man. Worst
road in Florida is.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
Much I would say the Suncoast Parkway. It is. It
is crazy, and it's most of the time. It's always
packed and people don't really know how to drive. It's
like the fast lane is a slow lane. Now I've
hit tires, I've hit boxes, I've had a swerve for
ladders and I got my wind showed cracked like four times.
I never, I never, actually never taken a picture of
(10:51):
the truck in front of him with my bigod idea.
Because I'm in Florida. They're supposed to change your window
once a year, but I actually did that and come
to be old on my insurance rate went up and
there's old against me as a claim. I was like,
what's up now?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I think that I think that we should all start
our own insurance company. Just need to make money, because
that's all that they do. You pay a ton of money.
You don't get any money back when things happen. Josh,
thank you have any worst road?
Speaker 10 (11:20):
Knock Nebraska just was coming down, and I agree. I
agree fast in the morning, so that I was the
only reason why I took you, because I'm coming from
the north Man South.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The only other person, the only person would disagree is
my uncle because he says that it's he says it's
the it's the best road to find the love.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's what he says. He says, the best road to find.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
He says, I met four of your aunts there and
I said, stop bringing them to Thanksgiving Trina. Yes, sir,
the express lanes didn't even help.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
So the worst road and Florida, I would have to say,
is I four going towards Orlando. Because there is constant construction,
constant be tours. You're having to swerve around the barrels
well where they've walked off the road, like it's just
a huge mess driving through there.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Its pain. It really is a pain. It really is.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Makes all this driving so much better listening to.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Us, ye.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Exactly.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
And I'm a first time caller, and I love you guys.
I listen to you every single morning.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
And I have to agree with Ashley about.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
The rock truck sant to nuts on it.
Speaker 11 (12:43):
I have to agree with Ashley about the rock trucks
because unfortunately we are the generation we're final destination. I've
made us scared to drive behind a log truck and
rock truck and all kinds of Stuffna.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
We love you, Thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
In love you guys too. Have a great day, you too.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I compiled the results with War of the Roses. I
am going to show this to our management. I think
that they're going to be able to make the decision
very easily. After this, we had to take a pause
to do a test. Should we continue or the roses
at seven to ten every Thursday? Should we maybe move
the time? That was the question. The answer I already
(13:26):
have it. I'll fill you in next. And also coming
up next, we're going to bring on a special guest.
We love him because we grew up with him, Jed
Andi's best buddy Grant, best friend since high school. He
would like to do his own topic. He came on
the inaugural cruise and he decided that he should be
(13:47):
able to call him at least once a week and
do a topic. So Gucca's topic coming up in a
special announcement regarding War of the Roses in the future.
