Hour 1 – Time for the Chiefs to Worry, Victor Wembanyama MVP Consideration

00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. It's our one on this Tuesday, 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 a grand slam by Vlad Guerrero against the Yankees.

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

00:00:32
Speaker 4: 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.

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

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

Good morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, and we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Eight seven, seven to three DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. 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 like this feels like two and three, uh oh, not two and three. They're the Chiefs. They'll be able to come back.

00:01:56
Speaker 5: Now.

00:01:56
Speaker 2: 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. 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 as wide as it used to be.

00:02:40
Speaker 5: And there were a.

00:02:41
Speaker 2: 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 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. 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.

00:03:38
Speaker 6: Fred Taylor is on there. He was their start. I just looked up David Garrard.

00:03:43
Speaker 5: Oh, pro bowler, David Garrard.

00:03:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, he kind of came out of nowhere, had a breakout year.

00:03:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, David Garard. I think that was his only Pro Bowl. But he played well.

00:03:53
Speaker 5: He was tough. Uh Seaton Pole. Question.

00:03:55
Speaker 7: 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.

00:04:16
Speaker 5: The top eight. Wow?

00:04:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the Power rankings. Who's the best team in the NFL? Is that what you're asking?

00:04:24
Speaker 7: We are we're asking right now who the most powerful team in the NFL?

00:04:28
Speaker 5: Are? Okay? Or and then we're gonna have the Dower rankings as well.

00:04:32
Speaker 7: 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.

00:04:45
Speaker 5: Yes, wait, should the Bengals be on there?

00:04:48
Speaker 6: With two wins, They've been outscored by seventy one points this year. The Bengal very.

00:04:52
Speaker 7: Dowerful, very dowerful, very dowerful.

00:04:54
Speaker 5: Dang dang.

00:04:56
Speaker 2: All right, the best team in Pro football right now is who?

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

00:05:11
Speaker 7: Seaton, I'm gonna say Destois.

00:05:14
Speaker 2: 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 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 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. 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.

00:06:34
Speaker 5: Trevor under center pace looked and he fell down.

00:06:37
Speaker 7: Trevor fell down on the play, don't play.

00:06:40
Speaker 8: Run in cut down. He got up, he found under the plays I got Kadenny Trevor Lawrence credit.

00:06:58
Speaker 2: 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 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.

00:07:29
Speaker 7: Todd'll be happy to know that was actually the chiefs call of that, town.

00:07:36
Speaker 5: Showing some.

00:07:36
Speaker 7: Enthusias it's a big moment in the.

00:07:38
Speaker 5: Game it's a.

00:07:39
Speaker 3: Moment in the.

00:07:39
Speaker 2: Game the Stumble rooskie of social media is calling it With Trevor. Lawrence, hey but that's what you want out of these. GUYS i think we talked About Trevor. Lawrence is he ever going to live up to the?

00:07:52

00:11:26
Speaker 7: 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 to be great or? Disappointing right, NOW i would say. Disappointing he's shown. GLIMPSES i think that's the problem sometimes when you see guys.

00:11:47
Speaker 5: Where you, go why do you like this all the?

00:11:48
Speaker 2: 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 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.

00:12:23
Speaker 6: 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.

00:12:35
Speaker 5: Nice he's.

00:12:35
Speaker 6: Good he's a good. Player he's not. Spectacular what else.

00:12:40
Speaker 7: 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.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: 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?

00:13:06
Speaker 5: Colts for?

00:13:07
Speaker 2: 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 ahead touchdown on the Stumble.

00:13:29
Speaker 9: 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.

00:13:44
Speaker 2: 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.

00:14:03
Speaker 5: Touchdown, Yes, god he actually.

00:14:06
Speaker 3: Stumbled twice on that.

00:14:07
Speaker 4: Player once is enough to be able to gather himself after two trips and not give up on the play was pretty.

00:14:12
Speaker 3: Impressive all.

00:14:13
Speaker 2: Right when we come, back by the, way preseason basketball last, night Ow Cooper flagg was in action last. Night Victor Wembin yama in action last. Night Cooper flag looked. Awesome.

00:14:36
Speaker 7: Yama it's going to be a.

00:14:38
Speaker 5: PLAYER i think he's going to be THE. Mvp how's. THAT i don't know how good the team's going to.

00:14:44
Speaker 2: BE i think that he. Is i'm just watching somebody that. TALL i think he grew in the off. Season he might be seven to. Six but he's handling the, ball he's great, passes he's shooting threes. AGAIN i mean He it is a better skilled version of The joker as far as. HANDLE i, Mean joker still is the best player in the. Game But wemby Is he's, here he is.

00:15:12
Speaker 6: Him, Yes, paul if you have, Room i'd love to get on The wemby bus because he looks like he got the twenty pounds That zion. Lost he looks. Sticker it's a good work for everybody And.

00:16:53
Speaker 3: GREAT i think SAID mvp this. Season so where where we did already?

00:16:57
Speaker 5: BACK i DID, Mvp. Todd just make sure we got your own record. There, Yes Paul.

00:17:03
Speaker 6: 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.

00:17:14
Speaker 2: 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 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 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.

00:18:09
Speaker 12: 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.

00:18:22
Speaker 2: 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. 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.

00:18:57
Speaker 6: 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.

00:19:12
Speaker 5: Swing position we've.

00:19:14
Speaker 2: 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 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.

00:19:44
Speaker 5: Break or you're.

00:19:45
Speaker 2: 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, 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.

00:20:25
Speaker 6: 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.

00:20:36
Speaker 5: Passed, those Yeah But yo ming was on, the.

00:20:39
Speaker 2: 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.

00:20:58
Speaker 5: Right h ball.

00:21:00
Speaker 2: 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 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 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 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 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, Yes todd and.

00:22:49
Speaker 4: 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.

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

00:23:02
Speaker 4: 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?

00:23:08
Speaker 5: Their, Armor well baseball's.

00:23:11
Speaker 2: 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.

00:23:28
Speaker 5: My role this.

00:23:29
Speaker 2: 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, 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. 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.

00:24:25
Speaker 6: 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. To college and so there's no guys who are throwing junk balls are going to get a college scholarship.

00:24:52
Speaker 2: 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.

00:25:03
Speaker 5: Only way you know we.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: 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.

00:25:23
Speaker 5: He did it for an.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: 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.

00:25:31
Speaker 5: Of those it's just.

00:25:33
Speaker 2: 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?

00:25:44
Speaker 5: Mind? Today Hey.

00:25:45
Speaker 13: 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 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 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.

00:26:47
Speaker 2: 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 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.

00:27:15
Speaker 5: Retirement, Today Yeah.

00:27:16
Speaker 6: 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 there in a room with the basketball court with, another gentleman like there's an interview about, to happen throw back To The jim gray interview and a lot. Of people we're gonna play The, lebron james what is the announcing game?

00:27:36
Speaker 5: Later today, M Okay Is jim gray going to be involved in? This too. Doesn't appear, so now if you're going to, do it you got To Get jim gray involved.

00:27:45
Speaker 2: 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.

00:27:54
Speaker 5: Los, angeles, Yes, time yes.

00:27:56

Speaker 5: First one, Thank.

00:28:02
Speaker 14: You.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: Todd, UH yeah, I don't. I don't i don't think this has any permanence.

00:28:09
Speaker 15: To.

00:28:10
Speaker 7: 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.

00:28:31
Speaker 5: Like, That, yes marvin.

00:28:33
Speaker 12: 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.

00:28:41
Speaker 5: This, Is.

00:28:43

Speaker 5: Good yeah you just get back up off.

00:29:04
Speaker 2: 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 have your family there and, you know make it a big deal, that way maybe a couple of tears.

00:29:32
Speaker 5: Or, Something, yes bolly it drives.

00:29:34
Speaker 6: 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.

00:29:50
Speaker 2: 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.

00:30:27
Speaker 16: 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.

00:30:39
Speaker 14: You're passing i'm.

00:30:40
Speaker 16: 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 for people to think their time is more valuable. Than mine so that's my my driving in the left.

00:31:07
Speaker 2: Lane, scenario right Seems like jim has a. Driving problem there the, only time.

00:31:13
Speaker 3: The Only time i'm get involved with.

00:31:14
Speaker 4: 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.

00:31:29
Speaker 2: 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 that's Just How new. Yorkers drive i'm Coming. From ohio, i'm, like, no. No yeah just to, be.

00:31:59
Speaker 7: 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 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 is where.

00:32:40
Speaker 5: Traffic.

00:32:41
Speaker 7: 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.

00:32:56
Speaker 2: Then you also have, you know the cones are, up there and you're going for from four lanes to.

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

00:33:02
Speaker 2: 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.

00:33:10
Speaker 5: In, line yes it's.

00:33:10
Speaker 7: 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.

00:33:21
Speaker 3: There's a better phrase, for it but whatever happened to, the uh Just.

00:33:23
Speaker 4: Common curtsey if, YOU go, i go, YOU go, i go that's out, the window Especially In.

00:33:27
Speaker 3: New, YORK right i let. You in i'm not gonna let.

00:33:29
Speaker 14: Seven.

00:33:29
Speaker 7: Cars Now what i'm, talking about that's Exactly what i'm, 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.

00:33:41
Speaker 3: You in it's just like getting out of the parking lot of the stadium or. AN arena i can't let all of. You go i'll be hit till two in.
