  Speaker 1: another commute in that was interesting.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It's not terrible, but uh, there's some challenges.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We're all running about ten minutes late. Right when you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: get into Manhattan, you really have to navigate very gently
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: because certain if something has two lanes, it's really not
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: too lane.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the streets are so narrow there's no where
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: to put the snow, right, So if there's one truck
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: in front of you and he can't get by, you're
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: sitting there for a while.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: And also a little thing I meant to mention this yesterday,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I was freaked out because driving in. So I'm driving
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: in from New Jersey and I'm on the highway, which
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: is pretty clear, but my car was vibrating like crazy,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: and it did it on the way home. And then
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I was worried, like it was slipping gears or something strange.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Was going on. I called up because I have a Mazda.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I called them and they said they were getting a
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: lot of calls like that, it's the snow embedded in
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: your tires.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, okay, do you know my Mazda completely died yesterday.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: What we bought a about four years ago? Yeah, four
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: years We bought a used Mazda because we needed we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: needed three seats for the kids.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And you were doing great with that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wouldn't start, wouldn't start at all. So
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: we used Triple A and uh, it took four hours
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for them to come. But we're in the driveway of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: our home, so I think we're a low priority to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Triple A, so we weren't in any hurry to use it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I got in. It didn't start battery, so
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: they jumped the battery. But the guy said, I need
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a new battery. He goes his battery is pretty old
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and uh, and then the check engine like came on.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So I've it's right now currently at a at my
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: favorite shop in Milltown, New Jersey, and it's waiting to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: be fixed and they're gonna do a whole overview of it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like it needs some help.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think the cool weather is doing a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: lot of damage to everybody. Not damage, but it's it's hampering.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: It's really hard on the cars. You know, I don't
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: have room in the garage because it's a storage space
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: for me. So yeah, it's tough on the cars.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: One more thing I want to vent about too. You
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: know how they're on They're really honest about clearing the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: snow from your roof. Yes, what about the eighteen wheelers? Man,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I was on the turnpike yesterday
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and so many eighteen wheelers, these sheets of ice are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: flying off.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That's scary.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I mean I had to dodge a few. I'm like,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: does this log The trucks don't have to follow this law?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Only the spots that you can reach. I don't know.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, how do they clear the tops? They have
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to have a system, you would think. But I was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: blown away by how many huge chunks of snow were
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: coming off eighteen wheelers and landing like right in front
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of me on the turnpike. I was just WHOA just
• 2:35
