I try to avoid road rage. And I recognize you can't do much about stupid people. But I tried to educate. Even though I shouldn't have to.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, I'm back in the car heading back to Colorado
from Texas, and thanks to Governor Abbott, I've got a
whole trunk full of plastic bags. So you know, we'll
have to figure out a way to meet and distribute
these to the goobers.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
They deserve them.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Every store I went to, would you like a bag,
I'll take two, please, and I'll take a whole case.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, have a great day, guys.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Contraband to cross state lines, I'm sure it's a federal
offense of some sort, and you can probably be I
don't know, deported for it too, despite your American citizenship.
So I know that, everybody. Let me just scroll through
the drudge headlines. Let's see Iran could resort to undimensional
(00:48):
means of retaliation, the idea of underestimated military strength.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Really, I don't see that.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Bunker busting missiles, shape faith and safety, shut down Hypha
oil refinery. Beijing advises Chinese citizens to leave Israel. Israel
warns promenade, he risks fate like Saddam's netnya, who could
kill the Ayahtola regime change.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The big phrase emerges as unstated goal. Tucker Carlson conflict
into Trump's presidency updates live feed, And of course we
have a picture of some damage in somewhere and maybe
it's HIGHI I don't know where, somewhere, probably in Israel.
Day five, IDF drones hunt over Teyhran. They're hunting around,
(01:32):
prepares or preps largest strike, the G seven split. Trump
leaves some USA to officially join more. Oh my gosh,
it's the end of civilization. But before we get to that,
I think these stories are probably related, but not entirely,
And I have to confess that I don't know any
(01:55):
of the details of the first story. I just know
it's about road rage. Road rage, and road rage is
one of those things that I assiduously try to avoid,
both myself and and those who are exhibiting road rage,
because I just don't want to have to, you know,
like take a baseball bat team buddy, or shoot anybody.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I just don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I also recognize that, you know, most of the time,
you really just can't do anything about stupid people. So
yesterday I'm I'm in the old jeepster, I'm in the dogmobile.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
The Lienburgers have been at the groomers. So I'm headed
down to UH to the groomers to pick them up.
And I'm making a right hand turn from Islands Ranch
Parkway onto University, which will eventually turn into Lincoln Boulevard.
And I and it has the sign, which janis in
(02:55):
Boston tells me they don't have these signs in Boston.
But if you've ever driven in Boston, as I have
a new numerous occasions, whatever signs they have are completely
meaningless because nobody.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Pays any attention to them or knows what they mean.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And regardless of what side of the Charles River you're on,
driving in Boston is an absolute nightmare. I would d
I would truly rather drive in London. And I'm not
good at all at driving on you know, on the
left side. I would rather drive in London or Midtown
Manhattan than I ever went Boston. Boston is just an
(03:27):
absolute nightmare.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And so I'm I'm making I pull up or I'm
in the right lane so that I can make this turn.
I've made this turn dozens and I mean thousands of
times probably, and it is a a no yield is
a continuous lane sign. You can find the sign on
(03:52):
my ex profile at Michael Brown, USA. It's a a
square on its side a yellow caution sign, and it
has two arrows. The arrow on the left shows that
the lane that you are going to be next to
is you know, traveling, you know, straight. It shows that
(04:14):
you could make the right turn into the continuous lane.
There are no yield signs, there are no stop signs,
there is nothing. It is a continuous lane, and so
you just, you know, you pull up, and of course
you want to make sure that nobody's pulling into the lane,
but you just check, and you know, you just pull
on and keep going. It's designed to keep traffic moving,
(04:37):
particularly in busy intersections, and sometimes it will have it
will it might even have like if you exit at
four seventy in Quebec, there are continuous lane signs there,
and it also says, however, if you're going to use
the continuous lane, but you ultimately want to make a
left turn to say, to go over to SAMs, then
(04:58):
you need to go straight. And you know, it tells
you to go straight and use the far lane to
get into that lane, so you're not trying to cross
over four lanes of traffic, which is another pet peeve
of mine. But I'm behind a soccer mom in a
van and she is just sitting there and there are
(05:20):
cars behind me, and those cars are honking, and now
I honk and she gets really the Karen gets really
upset because.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I've honked at her, and she.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
She looks around over her shoulder, shrug, you know, throws
her hands in the air, like, what do you expect
me to do? So I gesture that, look at the sign,
You're to keep moving, You're to keep moving. And I
do that several times, look at the sign, and then
gesture with my hand in a you know, in a
(05:52):
curved motion to the right, keep moving. She finally goes.
She finally goes. I know she's pissed off at me,
but you know what am I supposed to do? So
I posted on X yesterday my newest pet peeve people
who do not know what this sign means and don't
(06:12):
know how to make the turn, And there were like
fifty two likes or something on it and numerous comments,
you know, like Janis said, I've never seen that sign before.
Is that a special Colorado sign? No it's not, you know,
somebody says, that's an old pet peeve. For mine. Sean says, Amen,
not my latest, but one of the top ones. Maddening
(06:37):
said that actually learning the rules of the road aren't
required in the United States. And then there's some goober.
I assume he's a goober. I don't know what I
actually assume he's a goober because there's something I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
In a minute. Who writes.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Those who can do, those who can't teach. Those who
can't teach complain that no one learns anything. And I thought, well,
what an a hole, you know, because one I can
and I have. I have taught and know how to teach,
(07:16):
and I can teach, and I just don't complain that
no one learns anything. And then I thought to myself
when I read this was posted ten hours ago. His
comment was posted ten hours ago, and exactly how am
I supposed to teach? So I do my usual routine
this morning, and I walk in and I'm starting to
(07:37):
open up all my tabs for the for my show notes,
and I opened up the text line and guess what
the two top texts are. It's from the same guy,
only because well, I have to assume it's from the
same person because it pretty much says exactly the same
(07:58):
thing at twenty two hours, eight minutes, forty seconds last night,
he wrote, I assume it. See I don't know, Mike.
If you can't explain something, please don't stand there feeling
(08:19):
smarter than anyone else in the class. The next time
someone merges into your lane because they misread a sign,
think about the opportunity you missed to educate them. Now,
let's break down the text message. The next time someone
merges into your lane. She did not merge into my lane.
(08:44):
She was in her lane in front of me. She
was in all of our lanes failing to follow the
rules of the road. She didn't merge into my lane.
It's not like she was coming down University and then
just certainly pulled over into the right lane. No, because
I know to watch for those yahoos. She was sitting
(09:07):
there blocking everybody else, trying to make the right turn
where the sign clearly indicates, if you know anything about
the rules of the road, that that is a continuous
lane sign. There is no yield or stop sign. You
are to continuously moving through your right turn, and you know,
obviously watch for people that might be merging into.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That right lane. But just to keep the traffic flowing.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So I don't think you understand Guber number three six
nine six, I don't think you understand what the sign is.
But insofar as if you can't explain something, please don't
stand there. Feelings smarter than anybody else in the class?
Did I feel smarter?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No? Was I pissed off? Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Now what I find interesting was the next text message,
which was I find interesting because it was nine minutes later.
So goober number thirty six ninety six had to think
about this, and then he texted this Mike Einstein. Well,
(10:17):
first of all, thank you. You know, hey, Rod, I've
just I've been compared to Einstein this morning, so we're
off to a good start.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I can't hear you. Huh.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
The ego was already not big enough.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well, I already have to walk sideways to get into
the studio because of the ego.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So you know, you barely can get in here, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Barely get in here.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Mike Einstein had the same problem and was proud of
the fact that he never taught anyone anything. He thought
his genius would just rub off. Okay, so I I
thought through this this morning. Uh, this Yahoo, which over
(10:59):
on X goes by the name of dimension dimension d
I M E E N t I O N seven
dimension seven. Although if he means like a the third dimension,
that's misspelled. Die mentioned m I N t I O
N seven.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And and is he goes by X checker on on
on X so he apparently he's an X checker.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Did you see the bio Uh? No, I've not looked
at the biol fart with t m i oh from.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
El Paso old fart with t M I joined oh
just joined to just June of twenty twenty four. He's new,
so he s he's only been on maybe what wells
depending on what time in June, maybe just twelve months.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Profile picture a dog eating peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yes, and a and a blank picture for the uh
for the background photo.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Two thousand posts. That's a lot in that time.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Oh, that is a lot in that time. Let's see
what the latest post was. Thems justify the memes, not
the means the memes no matter where you go, he
wrote in June fourteenth, just turn around and there you are.
Now that's so deep a leftist could fall into it
and drown. Two days ago, he posted agnostic science has
(12:25):
little use for spirituality, but faith through understanding can eliminate
the need for a lot of brute force to.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Move a mountain. Time isn't linear, it's granular and localized.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It's a force that balances gravity in the unified field
theory theory. Yeah, old far with TMI probably might be
a good description of this particular listener. Now let's go
back though to the text line. If you can't explain something,
please don't stand there. Feelings smarter than anybody else in
the class. The next time someone merges into your lane
(12:58):
because they misread a sign, think about the opportunity you
missed to educate them.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So I live in the real world. As I've said
many many times on this program, I live in the
real world.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So my question to mister xchequer is a group of
number three, six, ninety six, precisely, how would you have
educated the driver in front of you in a heavily
traversed intersection.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Let's see it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
There's probably one, two, three, four, and the turn lanes.
There's probably five lanes both directions. I mean probably five
lanes all directions. So it's a five to ten, fifteen, twenty.
It's a twenty lane intersection. Very heavily traveled, particularly at
that time of day, which is around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. Precisely,
(13:46):
how would you expect me to use me to telepathically
get into Karen's mind and explain, Karen, look at the
sign to your right that you obviously didn't look at
before you pulled into the intersection, and realize that that
is a continuous lane sign and your job is to
continuously make your turn check to see that no one is,
you know, moving into your lane. And by the way,
(14:08):
the people it would be passing that lane, they have
a duty before they should turn on their turn signal,
and they have a duty to make sure that no
one's in that continuous lane before they merge into that
continuous lane. But that's not her responsibility, other than to
watch out for people who are probably ignoring.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
That rule of the road.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But my practical question is, how precisely would you expect
Einstein Junior here as now a rod should you should
refer to me as Einstein Jr. How would you expect
me to educate the woman in that moment about traffic signs,
(14:49):
write down her plate number, and then use my contacts
to obtain her name and address and email and perhaps
send her a letter explaining to her the sign, or
should I have gotten out of the car, should I
have put my car in park, turned on my flashers
while people are waiting behind me, while we're waiting on
her gone over end? Please wrote down your window and
(15:12):
then see that, you know, see see a glock nine
millimeter pointed at me like she's afraid I'm going to
attack her? Uh, and say no, no, no, no, don't shoot.
I just want to explain to you the rules of
the road. People are efing insane. I mean, she's insane,
an exchecker, you're insane, total insane, dotal insanity. But that
(15:35):
ties to the story that I saw that I know
nothing about. I but there was some incident of road
rage in Denver yesterday that was all called on camera.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That's all I know about the story.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And I think to myself, Yeah, I'm not surprised, because
nobody knows how to drive, nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The rules of the road.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And I say that that is because, uh, and maybe
just call me Clint Eastwood, get off my lawn. But
that's because when I was in high school, back in
the dark Ages, we actually taught drivers at or I
didn't teach, but someone taught drivers at in school and
so you learned. And today I still have probably all
(16:18):
those habits. Check left, check right, check left before you enter,
you know, before you put it into an intersection or
a street.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
All the rules of the road.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Even you know, do you know how to adjust your
rearview mirrors? Most people don't how to adjust their rearview
mirrors to eliminate the blind spot. That they taught that
in drivers at all of those things, and I think
the lack of driver's education. I know you can go
to a driver's school, that most people don't do. That
they learn from their parents, so all the bad habits
(16:51):
are passed down. I didn't teach my children to drive.
I had other people. Actually one of them took drivers
at then the other one I had somebody else teach
them to drive. So I renew the question of the
next time someone merges into your lane, which tells me
you didn't understand what the situation was. Think about the
(17:13):
opportunity that I miss to educate them. Well, maybe that
Karen is listening today, and perhaps I have taught them.
So if you don't know what that sign is, go
to my ex feet at Michael Brown, USA. You'll see
a image of the sign, and that is a continuous
lane sign, and it indicates, because there is no yield sign,
(17:36):
there's no stop sign, that you are continued. You are
to continue your right turn into the traffic. Obviously, you
want to make sure nobody's pulling into that lane and
you keep moving. It's designed specifically. It's kind of like
somebody said on X also next teach people about the
zipper merge. Nobody knows about the zipper merge, and then
(17:57):
when you do the zipper merge, people get pissed off
at you. It's unbelievable to me. This is why I think,
if you really want the crux of why society is
falling apart, it's not our political differences. It's not any
sort of differences about World War three or anything. It's
that we're surrounded by ignorant people, self centered, ignorant people
(18:24):
who don't know how to drive, don't know any social etiquette,
don't know how to conduct themselves among a civilized society,
and that's why we're falling apart. Still there, I feel
so much better. I feel like Einstein's road rage is
so stupid.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Anybody that takes part in that, you stupid.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh excuse me, exercise some caution, will you, sir?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Some I was gonna let this go, but you've.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
If if you haven't figured out over the past almost
twenty years on radio that I'm pretty passive aggressive, then
you may have tuned into the wrong program this morning.
Goober number zero four seven seven, says Mike. You educated
him right into that barrier sixty six nine eight Mike.
Word of the day, Decaf. Well, why, I'm not doing
(19:27):
anything any unusual than I normally do. It's just that
it happens to be about traffic as opposed to little
I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Know, World War three.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Everybody seems to be overly concerned about which we'll get
to in a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Twenty four to ten Michael shout out to Andy Kents
at Lakewood High School. Thanks to him, I could parallel
park in nineteen seventy one Talon Country station Wagon. Yes,
two nine seven zero Mike, I've come to love idiot drivers.
They provide, I mean, with the best entertainment your rants.
(20:03):
Do you ever ran at President Bush? I'd have paid
good money to see that. Yeah, he and I had
a little rant going on one time in the beast. Uh,
let's just say that you can have a rant all
you want to with George W. Bush and he'll sit
and he'll listen to you, and then he'll just cut
you off with the knees. Uh. So I ran and
(20:25):
ran about a particular issue had to do with homeland security.
We're driving along in the in the motorcade and I'm
ranting about something and he's listening. I mean, he's actually listening,
and he shuts me off by basically looking at me
with eyes that say, you know those kind of eyes
that your your spouse gives you sometimes that causes you
to kind of go like a puppy and go cower
in the corner. He kind of gave me that look
(20:47):
and said I've already decided that. I'm like, oh, never mind,
done seventy four hundred, Mike. I think the issue is
the continuous lane sign. When I've had friends visit from
other states, they all ask what that sign means. We
do have a lot of people moving into our lovely state.
Should they know what street signs mean?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Does that mean well they will take the time to
learn and moving to a new city. Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
People.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And this is seventy four hundred. Bingo, Amen, hallelujah, because
this gets back to the whole point about Gooba number
thirty six ninety six, about I need to explain what
it means. No, I do not. In fact, I think
(21:35):
I said on X to someone it may may have
been thirty six ninety six that my response is the
same as it is or was to my children, and
to this day is even to coworkers or somebody else
who will say, well, what does that word mean?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Go look it up?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Because if you look it up, if you take the time.
But we've become so passive. If you take the time
to actually look something up, read about it, you will
not only hopefully comprehend it, but you'll retain it. If
I tell you what audacious means, you the likelihood of
(22:20):
you retaining that information it's pretty nil. But back to
seventy four hundred, because you hit it spot on. People
are way too self involved and don't care about road safety.
Same problem with driving in the snow. Not everyone learns
how to do it, and they think they cleaning off
their cars as a job for the wind and not
for themselves. I think it's actually much larger than that,
(22:44):
and that is we're a lazy society.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
We expect I mean, it's called a boob tube for
a reason.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
We expect to just And this is why I talk
what I mean about being an active listener and a
discerning consumer of the news. If you just turn on
the television now, I don't even care if it's Fox News.
If all you do is just turn on Fox News
and you just sit there, you know, drinking your PBR
(23:14):
and eating data chips, then your brain's gonna turn to mush.
If if you don't question anything. In fact, if you
don't question everything, your brain's gonna turn to mush. And
quite frankly, that's what a lot of the Marxism in
this country is all about. And that is a bunch
(23:36):
of people that I'm not gonna use the phrase useful idiots,
even though that's what they are, who just sit back
and just well.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Uh, that's that's what That's what.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You know, Jake Tapper said on CNN, that's what you know.
Wolf Litzer said, So what must be true, or for
that matter, that's what Sean Hannah, he said, So it
must be true. It's that we just don't take the
time to do critical thinking, just like you know, I
appreciate the reference to Einstein, even though it's a backhanded compliment.
(24:17):
But if if that woman in that car yesterday really
other than just being mad at me, and I know
she was mad at me because I was interrupting what
she was trying to do, which is a cross, which
was trying to cross four lanes of traffic at an
intersection where that is not permitted. If she had all
(24:40):
ever even looked at that sign and thought to herself,
I wonder what that means. She could have gone home
and she could have looked it up and she would go, oh,
I understand now why that guy was honking at me.
But somehow thirty six ninety six thinks that my responsibility
(25:01):
to somehow go to that woman.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And have you ever been honked at?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I've been honked at before, and I've thought to myself,
I've immediately thought, what did I do? What did I
do wrong? What did I miss something? Did I not
see something? Did I cut did I actually cut somebody off?
I immediately start trying to analyze why does somebody honk
at me?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Sometimes I come to the conclusion that they're just a
holes and you know, even though I was probably already speeding.
They I was just speeding enough to satisfy them, or
I might have been driving the speed limit and I
was driving in the right lane, not the left lane,
and they were trying to speed around. Because everybody's driving
slowly in the left lane, they were trying to drive
fast in the right lane, and so they were upset
(25:47):
with me because I wasn't speeding fast enough for the
right lane. It's just I really do believe that all
of this laziness on the part of Americans is why
our society is kind of falling apart. There's a story
that Corey Gaines did over you know, he does the
Colorado Accountability Project, and one of his stories references someone.
(26:12):
I think it was a story in the Colorado Independent
about coloraudp Parks and Wildlife wants to redo their comments section.
So when they have meetings they want to change the
comments Why because too many people want to make too
many comments, to which I say to coloradud Parks and Wildlife,
(26:35):
that's your job now if you want to limit people
to one minute comments, but you have a controversial issue
and five hundred people show up, so it's going to
take five hundred minutes for everybody to sit there, although
some people will get bored and tired and leave. Your
job is to do that, and if you don't like it,
(26:56):
then you could have people submit written comments. But to
be upset because well it's eleven o'clock at night and
we're still in our meeting. Well, f you, you know
what you wanted that job, You took that job. You know,
when the governor called you and said I'd like to
appoint you to the color of Parks and Wildlife, you
(27:17):
suddenly had You didn't need to go to Rocky Mount
menskly because you suddenly had an erection because oh my gosh,
I get to be on a colorad Parks and Wildlife board,
and so you got all excited about it. And then
when it turned out to be actual work that involved
dealing with the public, you then suddenly, oh, you gottaigure
out way to cut it off. It's the same with security,
(27:40):
mark my words. I saw Jenna Griswald, our Secretary of State,
on TV last night bitching and moaning and complaining, Oh,
she's scared to death because she's had death threats. And
don't get me wrong, she's had serious death threats. But
guess what Smeeth's heart that comes with the territory. Now,
it's not to justify the death threats, it's to recognize
(28:00):
that those things happen the work. Guess what, the world's
full of crazy people. Now here's what I worry about.
They're going to start demanding that all five hundred and
thirty five members of Congress get either Federal Protective Service,
Secret Service, or some sort of security. No, if you
want security, you figure out how to do that on
(28:22):
your own, or perhaps you don't run for the job.
Security is an issue that every single individual in this
country faces. Do you not think that the residents of
the law abiding residents of the South Side of Chicago
or Five Points, or in downtown Denver or Rhino or
(28:44):
anywhere else in Denver, you don't think they want security.
You don't think they fear all of the yahoo's around.
They're just you know, drug addled crazies that are out
to do harm, the cartels, the traffickers, and everybody else.
It's your responsibility, yours. I'm willing to provide security to
(29:05):
the President of the United States of America and have
my tax dollars go to that because he is a
singular number one target, and not just of domestic enemies
but of foreign enemies like the Iranians. So yes, I
think we need to provide security to them.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
If the Supreme Court a very limited number of people,
if they want to put it in their budget and
they can afford it, then go for it. But members
of Congress know no, you represent the people. And if
we start putting security people at taxpayer expense between you
and the people you serve, then you're going to be
(29:49):
further isolated from us. And you're already too isolated from us.
So if you want security, figure out a way to
pay for it, maybe through your campaign funds or if
you're o way to do it on your own. Because
the rest of the country faces the same kind of
threats that you do. You're not special, You're like everybody else.
(30:10):
And for all the drivers out there who don't know
what the signs mean, go look it up. You can
find it at Michael Brown USA on Twitter formally on
x formally Twitter. And if you don't know what that means,
maybe you ought to learn it. And if everybody learned
the signs, if everybody learned the rules of the road
(30:30):
like Ziper merges.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Then you know.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
What, traffic actually might move a little quicker. Well, except,
of course, for the potholes. He's not gonna let it go,
he says, Mike, you make my point, you meaning me,
you're lazy. You want people to look something up, but
you don't give a reference.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
So when I tell my kids go look up the word,
I'm supposed to go get the dictionary for them. Open
up the dictionary, flip to where the word is, point
to the word, and say here's the word. Read it now.
Maybe about thirty six nine six things I should do
is get the dictionary out or open it up online,
(31:08):
pull up the word, read the definition to them, and
then explain to them what it means. It defeats the
entire purpose, which the very next text points out nine
zero two six. Mike, not your job to explain this
to anyone. It's called personal responsibility. Think about what it
(31:29):
takes to learn. Let's just say this woman realizes I
was pointing at the sign, she has no idea, you
know what, She can then go home. She could go,
as a Rod pointed out during the break, we now
have all these artificial intelligence apps. She could go to Grock.
She could go to chat a GPT, she go to Perplexity.
(31:49):
She could go to any of them and say what
does the sign and she could describe the sign. Or
she could go to Google Images. She could look, you know,
for traffic signs. She could look up the definition of
continuous lane, continuous lane merge, or zipper merge. She could
do any of those things, but they won't because we
(32:12):
become so effing lazy in the society. We expect someone
else to do everything for us, just like thirty six
ninety six. Oh, I'm lazy because I didn't. I guess
I should have taken that of her plate number and
you know, illegally or perhaps legally, looked up her address
(32:35):
and sent her a letter with a photograph explaining to her,
or maybe include a driver's manual to how about that
a mail at a driver's manual t
Michael, I'm back in the car heading back to Colorado
from Texas, and thanks to Governor Abbott, I've got a
whole trunk full of plastic bags. So you know, we'll
have to figure out a way to meet and distribute
these to the goobers.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
They deserve them.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Every store I went to, would you like a bag,
I'll take two, please, and I'll take a whole case.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, have a great day, guys.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Contraband to cross state lines, I'm sure it's a federal
offense of some sort, and you can probably be I
don't know, deported for it too, despite your American citizenship.
So I know that, everybody. Let me just scroll through
the drudge headlines. Let's see Iran could resort to undimensional
(00:48):
means of retaliation, the idea of underestimated military strength.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Really, I don't see that.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Bunker busting missiles, shape faith and safety, shut down Hypha
oil refinery. Beijing advises Chinese citizens to leave Israel. Israel
warns promenade, he risks fate like Saddam's netnya, who could
kill the Ayahtola regime change.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The big phrase emerges as unstated goal. Tucker Carlson conflict
into Trump's presidency updates live feed, And of course we
have a picture of some damage in somewhere and maybe
it's HIGHI I don't know where, somewhere, probably in Israel.
Day five, IDF drones hunt over Teyhran. They're hunting around,
(01:32):
prepares or preps largest strike, the G seven split. Trump
leaves some USA to officially join more. Oh my gosh,
it's the end of civilization. But before we get to that,
I think these stories are probably related, but not entirely,
And I have to confess that I don't know any
(01:55):
of the details of the first story. I just know
it's about road rage. Road rage, and road rage is
one of those things that I assiduously try to avoid,
both myself and and those who are exhibiting road rage,
because I just don't want to have to, you know,
like take a baseball bat team buddy, or shoot anybody.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I just don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I also recognize that, you know, most of the time,
you really just can't do anything about stupid people. So
yesterday I'm I'm in the old jeepster, I'm in the dogmobile.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
The Lienburgers have been at the groomers. So I'm headed
down to UH to the groomers to pick them up.
And I'm making a right hand turn from Islands Ranch
Parkway onto University, which will eventually turn into Lincoln Boulevard.
And I and it has the sign, which janis in
(02:55):
Boston tells me they don't have these signs in Boston.
But if you've ever driven in Boston, as I have
a new numerous occasions, whatever signs they have are completely
meaningless because nobody.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Pays any attention to them or knows what they mean.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And regardless of what side of the Charles River you're on,
driving in Boston is an absolute nightmare. I would d
I would truly rather drive in London. And I'm not
good at all at driving on you know, on the
left side. I would rather drive in London or Midtown
Manhattan than I ever went Boston. Boston is just an
(03:27):
absolute nightmare.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And so I'm I'm making I pull up or I'm
in the right lane so that I can make this turn.
I've made this turn dozens and I mean thousands of
times probably, and it is a a no yield is
a continuous lane sign. You can find the sign on
(03:52):
my ex profile at Michael Brown, USA. It's a a
square on its side a yellow caution sign, and it
has two arrows. The arrow on the left shows that
the lane that you are going to be next to
is you know, traveling, you know, straight. It shows that
(04:14):
you could make the right turn into the continuous lane.
There are no yield signs, there are no stop signs,
there is nothing. It is a continuous lane, and so
you just, you know, you pull up, and of course
you want to make sure that nobody's pulling into the lane,
but you just check, and you know, you just pull
on and keep going. It's designed to keep traffic moving,
(04:37):
particularly in busy intersections, and sometimes it will have it
will it might even have like if you exit at
four seventy in Quebec, there are continuous lane signs there,
and it also says, however, if you're going to use
the continuous lane, but you ultimately want to make a
left turn to say, to go over to SAMs, then
(04:58):
you need to go straight. And you know, it tells
you to go straight and use the far lane to
get into that lane, so you're not trying to cross
over four lanes of traffic, which is another pet peeve
of mine. But I'm behind a soccer mom in a
van and she is just sitting there and there are
(05:20):
cars behind me, and those cars are honking, and now
I honk and she gets really the Karen gets really
upset because.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I've honked at her, and she.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
She looks around over her shoulder, shrug, you know, throws
her hands in the air, like, what do you expect
me to do? So I gesture that, look at the sign,
You're to keep moving, You're to keep moving. And I
do that several times, look at the sign, and then
gesture with my hand in a you know, in a
(05:52):
curved motion to the right, keep moving. She finally goes.
She finally goes. I know she's pissed off at me,
but you know what am I supposed to do? So
I posted on X yesterday my newest pet peeve people
who do not know what this sign means and don't
(06:12):
know how to make the turn, And there were like
fifty two likes or something on it and numerous comments,
you know, like Janis said, I've never seen that sign before.
Is that a special Colorado sign? No it's not, you know,
somebody says, that's an old pet peeve. For mine. Sean says, Amen,
not my latest, but one of the top ones. Maddening
(06:37):
said that actually learning the rules of the road aren't
required in the United States. And then there's some goober.
I assume he's a goober. I don't know what I
actually assume he's a goober because there's something I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
In a minute. Who writes.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Those who can do, those who can't teach. Those who
can't teach complain that no one learns anything. And I thought, well,
what an a hole, you know, because one I can
and I have. I have taught and know how to teach,
(07:16):
and I can teach, and I just don't complain that
no one learns anything. And then I thought to myself
when I read this was posted ten hours ago. His
comment was posted ten hours ago, and exactly how am
I supposed to teach? So I do my usual routine
this morning, and I walk in and I'm starting to
(07:37):
open up all my tabs for the for my show notes,
and I opened up the text line and guess what
the two top texts are. It's from the same guy,
only because well, I have to assume it's from the
same person because it pretty much says exactly the same
(07:58):
thing at twenty two hours, eight minutes, forty seconds last night,
he wrote, I assume it. See I don't know, Mike.
If you can't explain something, please don't stand there feeling
(08:19):
smarter than anyone else in the class. The next time
someone merges into your lane because they misread a sign,
think about the opportunity you missed to educate them. Now,
let's break down the text message. The next time someone
merges into your lane. She did not merge into my lane.
(08:44):
She was in her lane in front of me. She
was in all of our lanes failing to follow the
rules of the road. She didn't merge into my lane.
It's not like she was coming down University and then
just certainly pulled over into the right lane. No, because
I know to watch for those yahoos. She was sitting
(09:07):
there blocking everybody else, trying to make the right turn
where the sign clearly indicates, if you know anything about
the rules of the road, that that is a continuous
lane sign. There is no yield or stop sign. You
are to continuously moving through your right turn, and you know,
obviously watch for people that might be merging into.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That right lane. But just to keep the traffic flowing.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So I don't think you understand Guber number three six
nine six, I don't think you understand what the sign is.
But insofar as if you can't explain something, please don't
stand there. Feelings smarter than anybody else in the class?
Did I feel smarter?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No? Was I pissed off? Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Now what I find interesting was the next text message,
which was I find interesting because it was nine minutes later.
So goober number thirty six ninety six had to think
about this, and then he texted this Mike Einstein. Well,
(10:17):
first of all, thank you. You know, hey, Rod, I've
just I've been compared to Einstein this morning, so we're
off to a good start.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I can't hear you. Huh.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
The ego was already not big enough.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well, I already have to walk sideways to get into
the studio because of the ego.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So you know, you barely can get in here, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Barely get in here.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Mike Einstein had the same problem and was proud of
the fact that he never taught anyone anything. He thought
his genius would just rub off. Okay, so I I
thought through this this morning. Uh, this Yahoo, which over
(10:59):
on X goes by the name of dimension dimension d
I M E E N t I O N seven
dimension seven. Although if he means like a the third dimension,
that's misspelled. Die mentioned m I N t I O
N seven.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And and is he goes by X checker on on
on X so he apparently he's an X checker.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Did you see the bio Uh? No, I've not looked
at the biol fart with t m i oh from.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
El Paso old fart with t M I joined oh
just joined to just June of twenty twenty four. He's new,
so he s he's only been on maybe what wells
depending on what time in June, maybe just twelve months.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Profile picture a dog eating peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yes, and a and a blank picture for the uh
for the background photo.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Two thousand posts. That's a lot in that time.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Oh, that is a lot in that time. Let's see
what the latest post was. Thems justify the memes, not
the means the memes no matter where you go, he
wrote in June fourteenth, just turn around and there you are.
Now that's so deep a leftist could fall into it
and drown. Two days ago, he posted agnostic science has
(12:25):
little use for spirituality, but faith through understanding can eliminate
the need for a lot of brute force to.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Move a mountain. Time isn't linear, it's granular and localized.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It's a force that balances gravity in the unified field
theory theory. Yeah, old far with TMI probably might be
a good description of this particular listener. Now let's go
back though to the text line. If you can't explain something,
please don't stand there. Feelings smarter than anybody else in
the class. The next time someone merges into your lane
(12:58):
because they misread a sign, think about the opportunity you
missed to educate them.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So I live in the real world. As I've said
many many times on this program, I live in the
real world.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So my question to mister xchequer is a group of
number three, six, ninety six, precisely, how would you have
educated the driver in front of you in a heavily
traversed intersection.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Let's see it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
There's probably one, two, three, four, and the turn lanes.
There's probably five lanes both directions. I mean probably five
lanes all directions. So it's a five to ten, fifteen, twenty.
It's a twenty lane intersection. Very heavily traveled, particularly at
that time of day, which is around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. Precisely,
(13:46):
how would you expect me to use me to telepathically
get into Karen's mind and explain, Karen, look at the
sign to your right that you obviously didn't look at
before you pulled into the intersection, and realize that that
is a continuous lane sign and your job is to
continuously make your turn check to see that no one is,
you know, moving into your lane. And by the way,
(14:08):
the people it would be passing that lane, they have
a duty before they should turn on their turn signal,
and they have a duty to make sure that no
one's in that continuous lane before they merge into that
continuous lane. But that's not her responsibility, other than to
watch out for people who are probably ignoring.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
That rule of the road.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But my practical question is, how precisely would you expect
Einstein Junior here as now a rod should you should
refer to me as Einstein Jr. How would you expect
me to educate the woman in that moment about traffic signs,
(14:49):
write down her plate number, and then use my contacts
to obtain her name and address and email and perhaps
send her a letter explaining to her the sign, or
should I have gotten out of the car, should I
have put my car in park, turned on my flashers
while people are waiting behind me, while we're waiting on
her gone over end? Please wrote down your window and
(15:12):
then see that, you know, see see a glock nine
millimeter pointed at me like she's afraid I'm going to
attack her? Uh, and say no, no, no, no, don't shoot.
I just want to explain to you the rules of
the road. People are efing insane. I mean, she's insane,
an exchecker, you're insane, total insane, dotal insanity. But that
(15:35):
ties to the story that I saw that I know
nothing about. I but there was some incident of road
rage in Denver yesterday that was all called on camera.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That's all I know about the story.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And I think to myself, Yeah, I'm not surprised, because
nobody knows how to drive, nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The rules of the road.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And I say that that is because, uh, and maybe
just call me Clint Eastwood, get off my lawn. But
that's because when I was in high school, back in
the dark Ages, we actually taught drivers at or I
didn't teach, but someone taught drivers at in school and
so you learned. And today I still have probably all
(16:18):
those habits. Check left, check right, check left before you enter,
you know, before you put it into an intersection or
a street.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
All the rules of the road.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Even you know, do you know how to adjust your
rearview mirrors? Most people don't how to adjust their rearview
mirrors to eliminate the blind spot. That they taught that
in drivers at all of those things, and I think
the lack of driver's education. I know you can go
to a driver's school, that most people don't do. That
they learn from their parents, so all the bad habits
(16:51):
are passed down. I didn't teach my children to drive.
I had other people. Actually one of them took drivers
at then the other one I had somebody else teach
them to drive. So I renew the question of the
next time someone merges into your lane, which tells me
you didn't understand what the situation was. Think about the
(17:13):
opportunity that I miss to educate them. Well, maybe that
Karen is listening today, and perhaps I have taught them.
So if you don't know what that sign is, go
to my ex feet at Michael Brown, USA. You'll see
a image of the sign, and that is a continuous
lane sign, and it indicates, because there is no yield sign,
(17:36):
there's no stop sign, that you are continued. You are
to continue your right turn into the traffic. Obviously, you
want to make sure nobody's pulling into that lane and
you keep moving. It's designed specifically. It's kind of like
somebody said on X also next teach people about the
zipper merge. Nobody knows about the zipper merge, and then
(17:57):
when you do the zipper merge, people get pissed off
at you. It's unbelievable to me. This is why I think,
if you really want the crux of why society is
falling apart, it's not our political differences. It's not any
sort of differences about World War three or anything. It's
that we're surrounded by ignorant people, self centered, ignorant people
(18:24):
who don't know how to drive, don't know any social etiquette,
don't know how to conduct themselves among a civilized society,
and that's why we're falling apart. Still there, I feel
so much better. I feel like Einstein's road rage is
so stupid.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Anybody that takes part in that, you stupid.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh excuse me, exercise some caution, will you, sir?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Some I was gonna let this go, but you've.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
If if you haven't figured out over the past almost
twenty years on radio that I'm pretty passive aggressive, then
you may have tuned into the wrong program this morning.
Goober number zero four seven seven, says Mike. You educated
him right into that barrier sixty six nine eight Mike.
Word of the day, Decaf. Well, why, I'm not doing
(19:27):
anything any unusual than I normally do. It's just that
it happens to be about traffic as opposed to little
I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Know, World War three.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Everybody seems to be overly concerned about which we'll get
to in a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Twenty four to ten Michael shout out to Andy Kents
at Lakewood High School. Thanks to him, I could parallel
park in nineteen seventy one Talon Country station Wagon. Yes,
two nine seven zero Mike, I've come to love idiot drivers.
They provide, I mean, with the best entertainment your rants.
(20:03):
Do you ever ran at President Bush? I'd have paid
good money to see that. Yeah, he and I had
a little rant going on one time in the beast. Uh,
let's just say that you can have a rant all
you want to with George W. Bush and he'll sit
and he'll listen to you, and then he'll just cut
you off with the knees. Uh. So I ran and
(20:25):
ran about a particular issue had to do with homeland security.
We're driving along in the in the motorcade and I'm
ranting about something and he's listening. I mean, he's actually listening,
and he shuts me off by basically looking at me
with eyes that say, you know those kind of eyes
that your your spouse gives you sometimes that causes you
to kind of go like a puppy and go cower
in the corner. He kind of gave me that look
(20:47):
and said I've already decided that. I'm like, oh, never mind,
done seventy four hundred, Mike. I think the issue is
the continuous lane sign. When I've had friends visit from
other states, they all ask what that sign means. We
do have a lot of people moving into our lovely state.
Should they know what street signs mean?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Does that mean well they will take the time to
learn and moving to a new city. Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
People.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And this is seventy four hundred. Bingo, Amen, hallelujah, because
this gets back to the whole point about Gooba number
thirty six ninety six, about I need to explain what
it means. No, I do not. In fact, I think
(21:35):
I said on X to someone it may may have
been thirty six ninety six that my response is the
same as it is or was to my children, and
to this day is even to coworkers or somebody else
who will say, well, what does that word mean?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Go look it up?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Because if you look it up, if you take the time.
But we've become so passive. If you take the time
to actually look something up, read about it, you will
not only hopefully comprehend it, but you'll retain it. If
I tell you what audacious means, you the likelihood of
(22:20):
you retaining that information it's pretty nil. But back to
seventy four hundred, because you hit it spot on. People
are way too self involved and don't care about road safety.
Same problem with driving in the snow. Not everyone learns
how to do it, and they think they cleaning off
their cars as a job for the wind and not
for themselves. I think it's actually much larger than that,
(22:44):
and that is we're a lazy society.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
We expect I mean, it's called a boob tube for
a reason.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
We expect to just And this is why I talk
what I mean about being an active listener and a
discerning consumer of the news. If you just turn on
the television now, I don't even care if it's Fox News.
If all you do is just turn on Fox News
and you just sit there, you know, drinking your PBR
(23:14):
and eating data chips, then your brain's gonna turn to mush.
If if you don't question anything. In fact, if you
don't question everything, your brain's gonna turn to mush. And
quite frankly, that's what a lot of the Marxism in
this country is all about. And that is a bunch
(23:36):
of people that I'm not gonna use the phrase useful idiots,
even though that's what they are, who just sit back
and just well.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Uh, that's that's what That's what.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You know, Jake Tapper said on CNN, that's what you know.
Wolf Litzer said, So what must be true, or for
that matter, that's what Sean Hannah, he said, So it
must be true. It's that we just don't take the
time to do critical thinking, just like you know, I
appreciate the reference to Einstein, even though it's a backhanded compliment.
(24:17):
But if if that woman in that car yesterday really
other than just being mad at me, and I know
she was mad at me because I was interrupting what
she was trying to do, which is a cross, which
was trying to cross four lanes of traffic at an
intersection where that is not permitted. If she had all
(24:40):
ever even looked at that sign and thought to herself,
I wonder what that means. She could have gone home
and she could have looked it up and she would go, oh,
I understand now why that guy was honking at me.
But somehow thirty six ninety six thinks that my responsibility
(25:01):
to somehow go to that woman.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And have you ever been honked at?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I've been honked at before, and I've thought to myself,
I've immediately thought, what did I do? What did I
do wrong? What did I miss something? Did I not
see something? Did I cut did I actually cut somebody off?
I immediately start trying to analyze why does somebody honk
at me?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Sometimes I come to the conclusion that they're just a
holes and you know, even though I was probably already speeding.
They I was just speeding enough to satisfy them, or
I might have been driving the speed limit and I
was driving in the right lane, not the left lane,
and they were trying to speed around. Because everybody's driving
slowly in the left lane, they were trying to drive
fast in the right lane, and so they were upset
(25:47):
with me because I wasn't speeding fast enough for the
right lane. It's just I really do believe that all
of this laziness on the part of Americans is why
our society is kind of falling apart. There's a story
that Corey Gaines did over you know, he does the
Colorado Accountability Project, and one of his stories references someone.
(26:12):
I think it was a story in the Colorado Independent
about coloraudp Parks and Wildlife wants to redo their comments section.
So when they have meetings they want to change the
comments Why because too many people want to make too
many comments, to which I say to coloradud Parks and Wildlife,
(26:35):
that's your job now if you want to limit people
to one minute comments, but you have a controversial issue
and five hundred people show up, so it's going to
take five hundred minutes for everybody to sit there, although
some people will get bored and tired and leave. Your
job is to do that, and if you don't like it,
(26:56):
then you could have people submit written comments. But to
be upset because well it's eleven o'clock at night and
we're still in our meeting. Well, f you, you know
what you wanted that job, You took that job. You know,
when the governor called you and said I'd like to
appoint you to the color of Parks and Wildlife, you
(27:17):
suddenly had You didn't need to go to Rocky Mount
menskly because you suddenly had an erection because oh my gosh,
I get to be on a colorad Parks and Wildlife board,
and so you got all excited about it. And then
when it turned out to be actual work that involved
dealing with the public, you then suddenly, oh, you gottaigure
out way to cut it off. It's the same with security,
(27:40):
mark my words. I saw Jenna Griswald, our Secretary of State,
on TV last night bitching and moaning and complaining, Oh,
she's scared to death because she's had death threats. And
don't get me wrong, she's had serious death threats. But
guess what Smeeth's heart that comes with the territory. Now,
it's not to justify the death threats, it's to recognize
(28:00):
that those things happen the work. Guess what, the world's
full of crazy people. Now here's what I worry about.
They're going to start demanding that all five hundred and
thirty five members of Congress get either Federal Protective Service,
Secret Service, or some sort of security. No, if you
want security, you figure out how to do that on
(28:22):
your own, or perhaps you don't run for the job.
Security is an issue that every single individual in this
country faces. Do you not think that the residents of
the law abiding residents of the South Side of Chicago
or Five Points, or in downtown Denver or Rhino or
(28:44):
anywhere else in Denver, you don't think they want security.
You don't think they fear all of the yahoo's around.
They're just you know, drug addled crazies that are out
to do harm, the cartels, the traffickers, and everybody else.
It's your responsibility, yours. I'm willing to provide security to
(29:05):
the President of the United States of America and have
my tax dollars go to that because he is a
singular number one target, and not just of domestic enemies
but of foreign enemies like the Iranians. So yes, I
think we need to provide security to them.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
If the Supreme Court a very limited number of people,
if they want to put it in their budget and
they can afford it, then go for it. But members
of Congress know no, you represent the people. And if
we start putting security people at taxpayer expense between you
and the people you serve, then you're going to be
(29:49):
further isolated from us. And you're already too isolated from us.
So if you want security, figure out a way to
pay for it, maybe through your campaign funds or if
you're o way to do it on your own. Because
the rest of the country faces the same kind of
threats that you do. You're not special, You're like everybody else.
(30:10):
And for all the drivers out there who don't know
what the signs mean, go look it up. You can
find it at Michael Brown USA on Twitter formally on
x formally Twitter. And if you don't know what that means,
maybe you ought to learn it. And if everybody learned
the signs, if everybody learned the rules of the road
(30:30):
like Ziper merges.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Then you know.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
What, traffic actually might move a little quicker. Well, except,
of course, for the potholes. He's not gonna let it go,
he says, Mike, you make my point, you meaning me,
you're lazy. You want people to look something up, but
you don't give a reference.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
So when I tell my kids go look up the word,
I'm supposed to go get the dictionary for them. Open
up the dictionary, flip to where the word is, point
to the word, and say here's the word. Read it now.
Maybe about thirty six nine six things I should do
is get the dictionary out or open it up online,
(31:08):
pull up the word, read the definition to them, and
then explain to them what it means. It defeats the
entire purpose, which the very next text points out nine
zero two six. Mike, not your job to explain this
to anyone. It's called personal responsibility. Think about what it
(31:29):
takes to learn. Let's just say this woman realizes I
was pointing at the sign, she has no idea, you
know what, She can then go home. She could go,
as a Rod pointed out during the break, we now
have all these artificial intelligence apps. She could go to Grock.
She could go to chat a GPT, she go to Perplexity.
(31:49):
She could go to any of them and say what
does the sign and she could describe the sign. Or
she could go to Google Images. She could look, you know,
for traffic signs. She could look up the definition of
continuous lane, continuous lane merge, or zipper merge. She could
do any of those things, but they won't because we
(32:12):
become so effing lazy in the society. We expect someone
else to do everything for us, just like thirty six
ninety six. Oh, I'm lazy because I didn't. I guess
I should have taken that of her plate number and
you know, illegally or perhaps legally, looked up her address
(32:35):
and sent her a letter with a photograph explaining to her,
or maybe include a driver's manual to how about that
a mail at a driver's manual t
