  SPEAKER_01: I do want to start with one little piece of helpful information, and that is it's pretty foggy in certain areas.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_01: So be careful while you're driving this morning.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's I noticed that in a couple spots.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_01: Other than that, I felt like I passed two people.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_01: That was it today.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_01: Where is everyone?
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: What's happening?
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm glad you said the thing about the fog because have you ever seen the thing on TikTok where it's like if you are somebody who works in like a hospital or you're an EMT, what's the biggest advice you would give someone?
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: And one of them that I've seen a lot recently is to not just blast through an intersection.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because if the light turns green, they say, like I saw a bunch of people go, like, I'm an EMT or I'm a nurse, I'm a doctor, wait three seconds.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: So this morning I'm getting I get off at the Miracle Mile Exit 52B to be exact, and I'm sitting at the intersection.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: Well, actually, I was come I was coming to the intersection.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody was already sitting there.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: And it turned green.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, luckily, they didn't go.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: For some reason, they didn't, but uh semi passed through because they're about to get on the highway.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they're coming down from watching.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: They were so red.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like as red as my lips.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: So red.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: And they blasted through, and I thought, oh my gosh, if that person would have because I usually I'm like, go, let's get to work, right?
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: Just can't wait to be with you guys.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no, yeah, right.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: And and then and and they would have completely been decimated.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: So interesting because it drives me crazy when people sit at a green light, and it's ironic, the further south you go in the country, the longer the wait is at the green light.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: They probably have it right, but it's like, I'm so used to New York driving.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, green! Oh my god, let's go.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: And uh and but it it's interesting because I've lived in other parts of the country.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: And specifically when I lived more in the southern part of the country, I noticed that.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, uh, are we gonna do this, people?
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: I think they're just moseying down south.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: I think you might be right, Adam.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think that's a safety feature.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: I just I I never heard what you said.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: I was always that person that always was go, go, go, go, go.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: And now, after reading this so many times on TikTok, I now.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_01: Well, really, did the pit deal with it?
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's what will make you change.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, probably.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: If the pit dealt with it and they literally used that as a plot line, like, well, they didn't wait three seconds afterwards.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: I feel that would change that would change your world.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: Who is it?
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I was at dinner with some girlfriends in Cleveland last weekend, and one of my girlfriends is a nurse, and then the other one just isn't.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: She works with animals.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: Just isn't.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: It just isn't.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Just isn't.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: So me and the girlfriend who's a nurse, I don't know how it came up, but it always comes up.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And I said something about the pit, and we both were like, oh my gosh, it's so good.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: From what I hear, it's incredibly accurate.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well, with the exception of the fact, how many times have you ever gone to an emergency department?
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I hate saying emergency department, the ED.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's erectile dysfunction.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: I I rarely go to the erectile dysfunction department.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but uh, so if you ever go to the ER, traditionally you wait for 28 hours in a in a waiting room, and then somebody 27 hours later comes by and goes, hey, uh, what's the problem?
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: And you'll be like, uh, cyclospore.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: And uh you know what I mean.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: But in the pit, what happens?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody wheels in, and and this is what kills me.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like home improvement shows.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: Within an hour, the property brothers have you a million-dollar house.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: If I'm doing the renovations, it's taking me 12 weeks.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: If it's the pit, you go in, there's 12 doctors working on you.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: It is like this.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: They swarm you.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: That is inaccurate on the show.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: See, you got to watch the show.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: That is grossly inaccurate.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: They they detail how long people are waiting.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: They've had people die in the waiting room.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's a long way.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: They've had people who uh you know uh, oh, this one guy got so mad.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to tell you too much, but this one guy got so mad for waiting so long, he assaulted a nurse.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: So yes, yes.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well, not uncommon.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it does happen.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: People get bitter.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: If you like the one kid that came out came through where his finger got blown off, well, yeah, you're getting little priority there?
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, exactly.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: But no, people are waiting.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: Like they'll even say, Oh, they've been waiting since first shift, and now we're on third shift or whatever.
• 4:23
  unknown: Right.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: Until they kill over and got a headache.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but you know what I mean though.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: Most hospital shows specifically, it's and once you're in the pit, it's like, you know, because every clip you see, you're like they're just like they're swarming, yeah.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: So the other thing about my one girlfriend who is the nurse, I was she works with another nurse, of course, and she said that the other nurse's significant other works in the pit.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: No kidding.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I know, I thought that was just a real pit the one that's real.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, not the pit on TV.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Uh oh, well, yes, it is.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's wait, he works he's an actor or he's actually working in a real pit.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: So see, you gotta watch the show.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so confused in what you're saying.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: The pit is the emergency room in Pittsburgh.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, and they call it the pit because it's like kind of like the armpit of the hospital as well.

  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: Even though the T V pit is modeled after the real pit.

  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: I think I got it now.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: I did have something else I was gonna say about the uh uh traffic light thing, but I feel we move past that.
• 5:37
