This is an 12 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.920 opportunity for to get it off your chest. What grinds 13 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:57.119 your gears? What event?

I 16 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.519 have several things that grind my gears, okay, and I 17 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.959 would prefer to hear yours. Okay. You know that I'm 18 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.439 not a big bike layme guy, okay, And that's for me. 19 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.560 Something that just grinds my gears when I watch people, 20 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.359 and no matter where you're driving, whether you're driving in 21 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.959 the in the city and the suburbs in a more 22 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.400 rural area. Someone's out there on that bike and let 23 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.359 me tell you, they're the king and the Queen of 24 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.400 the road and if you make the mistake, you make 25 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.920 the mistake of getting too close to them. So yeah, 26 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.280 for me, that's always that. I have some other issues 27 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.680 that bother me. Okay, but that's what we're gonna do tonight. 28 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.040 We need to sit back and what I need people 29 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.280 to do is get it off your chest. Okay. A 30 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.319 week from tonight, which will be the final Friday night 31 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.200 of August, we will do for the sixth month in 32 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.400 a row. And it's going to be really interesting next 33 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.640 Friday night. Not that what grinds your gears is not 34 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:09.360 going to be interesting tonight, a week from tonight, at 35 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.680 this hour, in the twentieth hour of the weekend. For 36 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.439 those of you who aren't familiar with my program, we 37 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.360 do twenty hours a week. Some people think that's a 38 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.639 part time job. It's more than a full time job, 39 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.840 trust me, Okay, money do Friday eight to midnight. This 40 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.039 is our number twenty. That's why we call it the 41 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.280 twentieth hour. And we try we try to come up 42 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.240 with a different topic which can allow us to kind 43 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.599 of get into the weekend and we can put you know, 44 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:41.560 all of the politics aside. Democrat, Republican, Trump, Harris Biden 45 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.879 just kind of let that go, and so tonight it's 46 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.120 an opportunity. What is it in your everyday life? Or 47 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.120 maybe I don't know, maybe I'm not trying to tell 48 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.360 you to what grinds your gears? What just kind of 49 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.680 ticks you off? So that's what we're going to talk about. 50 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.560 The lines will be open right now. Six one, seven, two, five, four, 51 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.000 ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. 52 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.439 What grinds your gears? It's as simple as that. And 53 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.919 it can be a huge issue or it can be 54 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:28.000 a minor issue, but mostly it's something that you have 55 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.719 to see often. I mean the fact that someone cuts 56 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.240 you off today on Route nine or Root one that's 57 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.000 a one and done. That's a one and done. One 58 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.400 of the things that in terms of motor vehicle traffic 59 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.800 that grinds my gears. And I'd love to hear from 60 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.199 some of you in this one if you agree with me, 61 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.240 is you're you're sitting in the left hand lane and 62 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.120 you're going sixty five miles an hour, okay, and all 63 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.680 of a sudden someone comes up behind you with a truck. 64 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.759 There's someone in front of you who's going sixty five 65 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.520 miles an hour. There's someone in in front of them, 66 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.159 maybe going sixty five miles an hour, maybe going sixty 67 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.639 seven miles an hour, but this truck wants to go 68 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.719 eighty five miles an hour. And they either don't want 69 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.840 to pass you on the right or they just want 70 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.599 to ride your bumper, so you get over. I used 71 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.439 to really get upset about that. I'm not as upset 72 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.680 about it anymore. What I'd like to do, particularly if 73 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.319 there's somebody, I mean, if there's nobody in front of me, 74 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.920 I'll gladly get over. You want to blow by me, great, 75 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.279 I hope you meet mister state police officer. But if 76 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.120 there's someone like just you know, a little bit in 77 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.959 front of me, I pull over it because then the 78 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.480 knucklehead behind me has to deal with the person who 79 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.360 was in front of me. And I've watched these guys 80 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.959 and they they are intent. Even if they have the 81 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.240 opportunity to go into the middle lane and you know, 82 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.000 blow by people, they want to be able to force 83 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.959 you over. That's for them, that is the challenge, And 84 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.879 of course that's very dangerous because if they're riding on 85 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.040 your tail, literally on your and there are a lot 86 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.279 of people who were unaware of it. Ah, if they 87 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.600 happen to need to hit the brakes quickly. I mean, 88 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.240 you know, a small animal runs out of the woods. 89 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.680 We're talking about being when you're on on one twenty 90 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.040 Master Turnpike or whatever major roadway in your area. So 91 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.720 that's the topic of the night. What grinds your gears? 92 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.680 And there have been there have been things that that 93 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.000 that have bothered a variety of people, and we normally 94 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.360 get some pretty interesting reactions here. So let us start 95 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.199 it off with I hope Bill in Pennsylvania's calling and 96 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.920 what's grinding gears? Bill in Pennsylvania, welcome back? How are 97 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.240 you sir? 98 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:36.639 Good? 99 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:37.160 How you doing? 100 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:37.399 Dan? 101 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.839 Haven't you great? Normally you call on politics. What grinds 102 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:41.680 your gears? 103 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:47.240 Well, grinds my gears?

Okay, if he's ready, let's 118 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.360 put him right back on. Okay, Bill, I have no 119 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.079 idea what happened there, Go right ahead.

And I 147 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.680 am not I want to say right up front, I 148 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.519 am not in senaphobic. I like people from anywhere in 149 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.639 the world, but when I call with a problem, I 150 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.839 would prefer to talk with an American. Okay, it's because 151 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.079 I don't speak a second language. Okay. 152 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:22.959 Uh. 153 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.560 And what you can do when you get someone and 154 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.079 you're calling whomever you're calling, you're calling, Yeah, I don't 155 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.600 know that they're even travel agents exist anymore. If you say, 156 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.360 but but you call, may I speak, May I speak 157 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.080 with an on shore representative? 158 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.000 Oh, okay, on shore representative. 159 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.399 Yeah, I mean, do you remember the Saturday Night Live 160 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.679 gag which is probably politically incorrect. Back in the old days, 161 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.039 it was like there was one woman in India. She 162 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.960 was dressed fully, you know, in traditional Indian garb, and 163 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.080 you know she, you know, say, okay, pizza, the pizza 164 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:03.919 is on the way, to be there in fifteen minutes. 165 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.519 Then should hang up? The phone would hang up, and 166 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.519 they say, yes, we can, we can book you for 167 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.919 an oil change on Monday at three, okay. And it 168 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.519 was if she was the only person that was answering 169 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:18.039 the phone anywhere. Uh, you know, then everyone's wanted there 170 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.600 throwing yes, the escort should arrive no later than seven o'clock. 171 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.200 And then it's it's it's what I think I was 172 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.480 just thinking about this today. It's it's systematic complacency. Okay, 173 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.080 you get, you get. I mean, it seems like no 174 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.399 matter where you go, people are just complacent about doing 175 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:37.879 their job. 176 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.480 No, you know what it is in my opinion, and 177 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.480 I stand up and if people agree, feel free. You 178 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.279 have these venture capital companies, okay, who basically decide to 179 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.639 go in and they'll there's a whole bunch of well 180 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.960 known companies. They'll they'll rip a company apart. And what 181 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.600 they do is they try to consolidate. So instead of 182 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:04.080 each company having somebody answering their phones when you call 183 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.039 that company, you're dealing with some sort of a telephone 184 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:12.879 center in Wyoming. You know, for example, if you try 185 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.799 to call I don't know, do you do you get 186 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.360 a daily newspaper at your home or no? 187 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.919 No, no, I know I don't get any newspaper anymore.

And of course instead of paying somebody in Watertown, Massachusetts, 201 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.720 fifteen or sixteen dollars an hour, they're paying someone in 202 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.480 the Philippines substantially. 203 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.240 That well, that was, that was. 204 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.440 That was one of my first jobs.

They'll try to 305 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:31.399 guide me by my cane. 306 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.600 Yeah, no, I understand that people have to People are 307 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.600 doing it. They think that they're doing the right thing. 308 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.440 But we've talked about this before that if you want 309 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.080 to try to help someone, if you see someone and 310 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.200 I'm not blind, so if I'm wrong, you tell me 311 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.919 the best way to do it is to approach the 312 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.960 person and quietly say to them, can I be of 313 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:53.480 any help? 314 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.320 And that's right, you know. 315 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.639 And if if the person, let's say, finds themselves at 316 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.919 a street corner, and there's a mailbox and and and 317 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.359 a street lamp, and they're trying to figure out which 318 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.640 way forward, and but they're they're their cane is you know, 319 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.599 they put themselves in a little bit of a box. 320 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.240 The person might say, yeah, I'd appreciate it. Uh, And 321 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.799 then you could do you mind if I take your on, 322 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.319 let me let me get you past this. It's it's 323 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.680 something we all should remember planning, insist so. 324 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.799 And then sometimes I'm at the mailbox still try to 325 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.680 grab my mail out of my hand, and I'm like no, no, no, no, 326 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.759 you know, I'm like, no, I just show me. I mean, 327 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.200 I just I'm looking for the thing to put it in. Yep. 328 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:37.880 Because they changed them. He used to be able to 329 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.279 open them. Now I call them loto a mailboxes. 330 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.519 Well, the reason of that is that the people used 331 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.400 to take What was happening was they were taking the 332 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:50.279 two liter plastic empty uh you know, ginger ale or 333 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:55.359 or coke or Pepsi bottles, putting Elmer's glue on them, uh, 334 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.640 and then basically going fishing in the mailbox. And they 335 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.240 dropped that in and they'd pull out some letters and 336 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.240 if they found letters which had checks, that would. 337 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.720 That would reason. 338 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:08.680 What is that? 339 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.880 Actually the reason that is exactly the reason. 340 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.279 And what happened is they've come up with these chemicals 341 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.880 where they can wash your check. So let's say, for example, 342 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.559 Glenn wrote a check to his you know, to his 343 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:24.599 electric company for one hundred and ten dollars and twenty cents. 344 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:28.279 They can actually go in h and with this chemical 345 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.640 they can eradicate how much money, you know, you wrote 346 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.000 out one hundred, ten dollars and twenty cents, and then 347 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.920 they go into the box where it says how much 348 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.440 you wrote, you know, how much you're going to pay, 349 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.960 and then they can put in you know, and they 350 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.039 would eliminate that you were sending it to the national 351 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.559 grid or to ever source or whatever. So they would 352 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.359 put their own name on there. They put their own 353 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.079 name on John Smith, and it would be you know, 354 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.319 five twenty dollars. That's that's what's called check washing. And 355 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.160 the government was forced to get rid of those what 356 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.880 I would call them pulled down mailbox is the big 357 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.880 ones with the handle, and now they have these slots. 358 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.039 It's it's like trying to get a credit card in 359 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.759 some of the credit card machines at the grocery store. 360 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.480 You're trying to find where it is.
