Speaker 2 (00:03):
Happy Monday, friends, welcome to the show. A lot going
today Gary. Tickets for the weekend chance a million dollars.
It's the week of the comedy show. Yes, that's crazy.
It got here very fast. Yeah, very birthday week. Look
at that Kendrick Lamar's birthday week. Look at that nine
nine eight detect dms re up an ant wymss radium sauce.

(00:24):
Would you consider yourself good at driving directions? Like if
you can you get the point A or point B
without GPS.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Without GPS, uh, depending on like in in like the
Baltimore area, absolutely, even over here, Yes, but no I
have to live there for a while. I realized in Atlanta,
maybe I'm not as good as I thought I was.
I've been here for over ten years. Yes, and I
basically know the route that I go to work really
like that's yeah, because I thought it's just so Seria's

(00:51):
so big, which so dumb, so like I can get
tell you main points. I'm trying to use my GPS
how much anymore? Just be like, yeah, you know where
you're going.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'd have to mentally like, okay, if I'm going to
this place, how do I get that from the radio
station and like mentally kind of retrout that way. Yeah. Sure.
So seventy percent people claim they're very good at reading
physical or digital maps.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm good at reading maps.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, some of the maps. So I feel like they're
really bad with exits where it's like you can't quite
tell if it's this exit or the next one, and
until you go past what reroutes, I'm like, hey, that
would been cool to have before.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Especially on two seventy where they have the local lanes
and then they have the other ones and you just
don't you miss the one to get into the local lanes,
get actually off at your exit, and you're like, I
guess I'm not taking my exit.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh I know. Then then get mad at myself and yeah.
Sixty eight percent said the sense direction is very good.
Fifty nine percent say they enjoy reading maps. Okay, that's
your dad. My dad will write write down the almanac
and it'll tape it on post note to the actual GPS.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
But remember when I drove up from Georgia and I said, oh,
like it went to Georgia to Tennessee, back to Georgia,
I mean take back to Tennessee. Because like when you
go through Chattanooga and he's like, let's look at a map,
and I was like, okay, here's my atlists. No, he
really brought it out.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh I know.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Then they say half people don't like giving directions.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't. I don't like giving directions. I've realized that
when I walk. So I've been walking around my neighborhood
in Arlington and like other neighborhoods, and I think that
I'll know how to get home, and then I'll end
up on the wrong road and I'm like, wait where
am I? And then I'll end up near somewhere and
I'm like, wait a second, this is so far from
my house.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, I feel like in this area too, there's so
much traffic and like road construction, you almost need the
GPS just nowhere to go. I don't disagree. Nine at
