- 0:09Speaker 3: 800-409-9393.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Who has the worst road or what is rather, what
- 0:12Speaker 1: is the worst road in Tampa Bay? And we've got
- 0:21Speaker 1: people who listen all over the place. So if you
- 0:24Speaker 1: do live in Orlando or if you're on the east
- 0:27Speaker 1: side of the state, maybe you listen in Georgia, Alabama, Michigan,
- 0:32Speaker 1: New York, wherever you may be. We have a lot
- 0:35Speaker 1: of people who will stream us in California. Right around
- 0:39Speaker 1: now is when the early morning crowd is waking up there. 800-409-9393.
- 0:45Speaker 1: If you call in and it's not Tampa Bay, you've
- 0:47Speaker 1: got to really explain it so that we know what
- 0:50Speaker 1: you're talking about. But to the tampons, or what do
- 0:54Speaker 1: we even call ourselves?
- 0:58Speaker 2: I've only heard tampons. Yeah, I was like, what? Tampanians? Tampani? Yeah. Anyways.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I don't want to be that.
- 1:05Speaker 1: If you're a part of the community, who's got the
- 1:08Speaker 1: worst road? Katie would like to just limbast a specific
- 1:13Speaker 1: road because she keeps getting nails in her tires. Yeah.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Did you guys notice when you parked this morning, I was.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Not driving my car.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Sick red car.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Sick car.
- 1:19Speaker 2: They always give me the good loners.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Sick red car.
- 1:21Speaker 3: I have to get two new tires because I have
- 1:25Speaker 3: a nail in each.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I remember you said you had to go in because
- 1:27Speaker 2: you had a leaks, right? Yeah, I thought it was
- 1:29Speaker 2: just one. As it turns out, it's two.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:31Speaker 2: And there is a nail in each. Gotta get you
- 1:33Speaker 2: one of my cars.
- 1:36Speaker 1: What? I have the thickest wheels of all time. Oh,
- 1:39Speaker 1: you'll be sad.
- 1:40Speaker 2: But go ahead, sorry. I blame Highway 19.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Highway 19 is the bane of my existence. I feel
- 1:47Speaker 3: because there's always construction on it and there's always a
- 1:50Speaker 3: lot of utility trucks. So nails and just tools and
- 1:54Speaker 3: everything are like bopping all over the place.
- 1:57Speaker 2: I think it's Highway 19. I hate driving it. Which sucks.
- 2:01Speaker 2: My dealership is on 19 and I love them. I
- 2:02Speaker 2: will never leave them. Risk I'm willing to take. I
- 2:06Speaker 2: will say Gandy is now my least favorite road to
- 2:09Speaker 2: drive on. I don't know if you guys have been
- 2:10Speaker 2: in it lately. They're adding streetlights everywhere.
- 2:12Speaker 3: So instead of just being a straight way, oh, they've
- 2:15Speaker 3: added two or three streetlights.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So you're talking about like residential Gandy, not like the
- 2:19Speaker 1: Gandy Bridge or anything like that. You're talking about like
- 2:21Speaker 1: coming off the bridge. In South Tampa.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Coming off the bridge headed to South Tampa, Gandy.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Yep.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Hate it. It's the worst.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I'm going to put 19 over it. Because 19 also
- 2:33Speaker 1: has the hidden cops all over the place. And it's
- 2:36Speaker 1: almost too inviting to speed. Like when I'm going to
- 2:41Speaker 1: like Dixon Clearwater, it's after work and there's not a
- 2:46Speaker 1: lot of people on the road.
- 2:49Speaker 2: You just want to Autobahn it.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I want to drive as fast as I want my
- 2:52Speaker 1: vehicle to shake. I'm driving so fast.
- 2:54Speaker 2: But that's just an invitation to get pulled over.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It's not safe driving. There are a lot of nails.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I get worried too whenever I see a lot of dealerships.
- 3:02Speaker 1: If I see a lot of dealerships and service departments... Obviously,
- 3:06Speaker 1: they're just going off of, like, I think every dealership
- 3:08Speaker 1: wants to be off of very busy roads, but I
- 3:10Speaker 1: automatically think of messed up cars. I don't think anything
- 3:14Speaker 1: compares to Olmerton, though. I think Olmerton is the worst
- 3:18Speaker 1: road of all time. If you catch one light, that
- 3:22Speaker 1: means you're going to be in a string of catching lights. Yeah,
- 3:25Speaker 1: they are not timed out at all. No, they don't
- 3:27Speaker 1: time it out. You would think they'd time it out
- 3:28Speaker 1: to where it's like, hey, you hit one, you're going
- 3:29Speaker 1: to have, like, five, like, with the pace of traffic.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 3:33Speaker 1: No, it is bang, bang, bang, bang. Like my parents
- 3:38Speaker 1: will rent a place when they come and visit. And
- 3:42Speaker 1: when they do, it's always in Indian Rocks. I will
- 3:45Speaker 1: take Olmerton there. It could take anywhere from 15 minutes
- 3:49Speaker 1: to get to where they will like rent or it
- 3:51Speaker 1: will be like four hours. And that's an over-exaggeration. It
- 3:56Speaker 1: would be like an hour. So if it's anywhere from
- 3:58Speaker 1: 60 to an hour, I would take I-4, deadbeat, horrible.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I got to drive on I-4 today. I already know
- 4:07Speaker 1: I'm going to hit traffic. I'll take that over Olmerton.
- 4:10Speaker 1: That's how much I hate it. But let's now move
- 4:13Speaker 1: over to.
- 4:13Speaker 2: It's just disdain for it.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Let's move over to Lakeland right now. Reynolds Road. I
- 4:18Speaker 1: always hear that it's a horrible road.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I used to live off of that road, and some
- 4:25Speaker 1: neighborhoods on that road, their.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Streets have so deep potholes, they look like kiddie pools.
- 4:32Speaker 1: See, that's what I've heard. And then when it rains,
- 4:35Speaker 1: you can't really tell. Yeah.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Yeah. See, look at that. You better be giving out
- 4:40Speaker 2: free tires. Hi, Joe.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Hi.
- 4:43Speaker 2: First time caller.
- 4:45Speaker 1: First time.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Hold on.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Wrong one.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Sorry, I just pulled out my lightsaber.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I did not mean to draw my lightsaber.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Leah, thank you so much for calling in. Appreciate you.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Yeah. Of course.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Call him more often.
- 5:05Speaker 1: All right.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Be careful. Be careful with those potholes. All right. Look
- 5:10Speaker 2: at that.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I-4 is horrible. So is 19. Christina, I agree with you.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Yeah, terrible.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Terrible.
- 5:19Speaker 1: It's like the rule I gave my brother Luke once
- 5:22Speaker 1: he graduates. Avoid 19.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Avoid 19. It's an age with women.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Don't go back to college girls. It's basically my advice
- 5:31Speaker 1: to him. That was a bad joke. When Katie said it,
- 5:33Speaker 1: I thought about it. Shouldn't have said it out loud. Christina,
- 5:35Speaker 1: take it away.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Hey guys.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I was, I was agreeing with Ashley with 19, but, um,
- 5:42Speaker 1: I used to ride my motorcycle all over the place and,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and four, it's gotta be the worst.
- 5:46Speaker 3: It really is.
- 5:47Speaker 1: It's the worst. Yeah. I, uh, they should open up,
- 5:52Speaker 1: you know, them opening up a fourth lane on I-4
- 5:54Speaker 1: is amazing. Um, I think two more is good. I
- 5:57Speaker 1: think we go six. There's a highway in Atlanta that
- 6:01Speaker 1: is six lanes each ways. It's our time to get that.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Is that the opening of The Walking Dead? Hey, guys,
- 6:09Speaker 2: I just wanted to say I love listening to you guys.
- 6:12Speaker 2: I lost my doggie this weekend.
- 6:15Speaker 3: So I just want to cheers to Chloe Nicole.
- 6:17Speaker 2: She was the best dog ever.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Amen to that.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Aw, Chloe. We love Chloe. Rest in peace, Chloe. I
- 6:24Speaker 2: know you gave her a good life.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Christina.
- 6:28Speaker 3: You guys have a wonderful morning, okay? Good talking to you.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Hey, Christina, real quick. I thought you were going to
- 6:32Speaker 1: say that you lost her and you need help finding.
- 6:34Speaker 1: So I was ready to go. I hope you know
- 6:37Speaker 1: I love you so much. I was about to go
- 6:38Speaker 1: on a search and rescue mission for you. Oh, no,
- 6:41Speaker 1: she's in doggy heaven. All right. Well, hey, love you.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I'm sorry for your loss. At what point do you go,
- 6:49Speaker 1: all right, I'm ready for a new dog?
- 6:51Speaker 2: No, no, I want to travel.
- 6:53Speaker 3: It's so hard to travel.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Of course, the world's going crazy right now, but hopefully
- 6:57Speaker 1: I get some travel time. I'm 40.
- 6:59Speaker 3: It's time.
- 7:01Speaker 1: I got no kids. Hey, just don't go to Paris.
- 7:04Speaker 1: It seems like that's not the place to go to
- 7:06Speaker 1: right now.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think it's on fire.
- 7:08Speaker 2: I think it's on fire. God, literally, it could be.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Christina, we love you. This portion of the Joe Show
