4:42
Speaker 6: a few miles we did.
4:44
Speaker 1: I figured it up. It was just over thirteen hundred miles.
4:47
Speaker 1: I'll spent twenty six hours.
4:48
Speaker 6: I missed. I misinterpreted when you texted me this history.
4:50
Speaker 6: I thought you meant that was your trip home, and
4:52
Speaker 6: I was like, what on Earth? No? But it was
4:54
Speaker 6: still that's no, that's no shocking, No, it's no less shocky.
4:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was about a ten drive. You can make
5:01
Speaker 1: it a little faster, but we had three vehicles and
5:04
Speaker 1: so we had to, you know, stop. We ate a
5:07
Speaker 1: great lunch by the way, just pulled over on the
5:09
Speaker 1: side of the road in Oklahoma. You know, we're just
5:13
Speaker 1: looking for someplace. It was like Sherry's farmhouse kitchen or
5:17
Speaker 1: something or other. We walked in and I had one
5:19
Speaker 1: of the best chicken fried steaks I've ever had. It
5:21
Speaker 1: was the lunch special fifteen Bucks. It was like chicken
5:24
Speaker 1: fried steak, chicken and dumplings, pork cutlet, turkey and dressing,
5:28
Speaker 1: all that plus three sides or two sides in a
5:31
Speaker 1: dessert fourteen bucks. Oh wow, Okay, all right, that was
5:35
Speaker 1: all about that.
5:35
Speaker 6: I've It's always fun whenever you do like a long
5:38
Speaker 6: road trip. There's so many things that go right, so
5:40
Speaker 6: many things go wrong. One of the things that I
5:43
Speaker 6: always love is asking were the roads?
5:47
Speaker 1: Okay, well, where you were all the way up? We
5:50
Speaker 1: went through Texarcana into Arkansas. Yeah, got to a little
5:55
Speaker 1: rock cut west and then go up into the Ozarks,
5:57
Speaker 1: which is the route that I'm most familiar with. Spent
6:00
Speaker 1: a lot of time on that route. On the way home,
6:03
Speaker 1: the GPS decided to take us through Oklahoma, which is
6:10
Speaker 1: quite well known for having, at least in my experience,
6:13
Speaker 1: the second worst roads in the country.
6:15
Speaker 6: I always described Oklahoma as like a pothole that you
6:19
Speaker 6: go in from the north and then come out at
6:21
Speaker 6: the Red River.
6:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much.
6:23
Speaker 6: That's pretty much.
6:24
Speaker 1: Very unusual smell in Oklahoma. These days too. It is
6:27
Speaker 1: kind of a combination of cat urine and marijuana.
6:30
Speaker 6: That's these days.
6:31
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it was. It was bad, except the
6:33
Speaker 1: food was great.
6:34
Speaker 6: We didn't I mean, food is always good, and there's
6:35
Speaker 6: some parts that are gorge Here's what I was shocked about.
6:38
Speaker 1: I was shocked about that the worst drivers I encountered
6:40
Speaker 1: were in Texas.
6:41
Speaker 6: That's the that's the were the really the worst.
6:46
Speaker 1: The worst drivers I encountered, the left lane hogs. There
6:50
Speaker 1: was one guy on forty five as I was heading
6:52
Speaker 1: home yesterday that had his you know, he was splitting
6:55
Speaker 1: the lanes while looking at his phone in heavy traffic,
6:58
Speaker 1: going super fast in his mini van. Yeah, it was bad, bad, bad,
7:04
Speaker 1: And when I got off the road last night, I
7:06
Speaker 1: was literally vibrating.
7:10
Speaker 6: I are we really the worst drivers? I mean, are
7:13
Speaker 6: we the bad guys?
7:15
Speaker 1: When it comes to this, it's it hasn't been that
7:17
Speaker 1: way in the past, but it's getting that way.
7:20
Speaker 6: I used to see. That's I used to think that
7:23
Speaker 6: we were pretty good drive friendly. It wasn't having drive friendly.
7:27
Speaker 6: It's just there's certain environments in this state that lend
7:32
Speaker 6: themselves to you getting an oversized level of skill behind them.
7:37
Speaker 6: You have to negotiate certain things that other states don't
7:40
Speaker 6: have to the city of Houston, the city of.
7:43
Speaker 1: Austin, the city of San Antonio, San.
7:45
Speaker 6: Antonio, that's a whole Like you guys may not think
7:48
Speaker 6: of it, but it's a mess, Dallas whatever. But but
7:52
Speaker 6: now the more people I talk to, yeah, we suck it.
7:55
Speaker 6: Driving more horrible.
7:56
Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of it is transplants.
7:59
Speaker 1: I think people that have moved here.
8:02
Speaker 6: Them they're not homegrown.
8:04
Speaker 1: I didn't you know, from what I could kind of
8:06
Speaker 1: look and see and tell that was part of it.
8:08
Speaker 1: But it was bad. But it may have been that
8:10
Speaker 1: a lot of my miles were in Texas.
8:11
Speaker 6: I don't know, Riley, what do you think? Are we
8:13
Speaker 6: the worst drivers in the in the United States?
8:16
Speaker 7: So my travels, really me personally driving on the road
8:19
Speaker 7: has only been in Texas, so I really can't relate
8:22
Speaker 7: to anything outside of that. But when I went to
8:24
Speaker 7: track meets, the worst drivers I've probably ever been around
8:28
Speaker 7: was when I went to Puerto Rico. Oh yeah, there
8:31
Speaker 7: are no rules at all whatsoever. Then also New Mexico.
8:36
Speaker 1: You cannot count other countries because that is that is.
8:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just.
8:43
Speaker 8: In my life.
8:44
Speaker 7: Though, when I was on a school bus with my
8:46
Speaker 7: pole Vault polls and we're all we had to go
8:48
Speaker 7: like across, we had to go across uh, Puerto Rico.
8:52
Speaker 7: This was about an hour and a half, which you know,
8:54
Speaker 7: Portrico is not that large of a country, not But
8:57
Speaker 7: we're on the road and for start, there's no blinkers.
9:01
Speaker 7: He the bus driver, and the other people on the road.
9:03
Speaker 7: He's just swerving, cutting people.
9:04
Speaker 6: Off to use the force.
9:06
Speaker 8: Yes, he does not care.
9:08
Speaker 7: And then on the way home, half the people don't
9:10
Speaker 7: have headlights, so you're just guessing.
9:12
Speaker 1: Well, and and the roads are not great number.
9:15
Speaker 8: One, number two two terrible actions.
9:17
Speaker 1: A lot of them have these, you know, giant cliffs, especially.
9:21
Speaker 6: Like in the in mountainous regions Jamaica there in Jamaica
9:24
Speaker 6: where Yeah, guy driving me around to Jamaica that I was.
9:28
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll say this, I was impressed by the
9:30
Speaker 6: end of it. It was terrified, but I was impressed
9:34
Speaker 6: they got us through it. It were we should have
9:37
Speaker 6: been rolling down a few of those mountains.
9:38
Speaker 1: Branson is a different animal when it comes to two
9:41
Speaker 1: roads and driving. Yeah, if you you have to keep
9:44
Speaker 1: your wits about you there, if you make one minor error.
9:48
Speaker 1: You are going off a cliff.
9:49
Speaker 6: Yes you are.
9:50
Speaker 1: There is not a flat or straight piece of road
9:53
Speaker 1: in that community.
9:55
Speaker 6: It can't exist.
9:56
Speaker 1: Literally, being being the dad, I had to do this
10:00
Speaker 1: repeatedly to annoy everybody that was with me. But every
10:03
Speaker 1: time he came up to an intersection, there was at
10:05
Speaker 1: least one blind direction. And every time I would come
10:08
Speaker 1: up to the intersection, I'd go and now for my
10:10
Speaker 1: next death divine feet, I will pull out into traffic blind.
10:15
Speaker 6: Look for those of you that have traveled I let's
10:18
Speaker 6: be honest with ourselves for a second. Our phone nubers
10:21
Speaker 6: nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty is Texas
10:26
Speaker 6: at this point home of the worst drivers in the
10:28
Speaker 6: United States.
10:29
Speaker 1: I will say that I don't think it is the
10:31
Speaker 1: home of the worst. However, I think we've gotten significantly worse.
10:36
Speaker 6: Well, if we're not the worst, tell us where the
10:39
Speaker 6: worst are, and again you can call us, you can
10:41
Speaker 6: text us see what y'all have coming up. Sixteen twenty
10:44
Speaker 6: ninety four five WTAW were asking the I mean, the
10:47
Speaker 6: difficult question, whether we're the worst drivers in America. Have
10:50
Speaker 6: that whole reflection here, and a few people text in
10:52
Speaker 6: they're like, Hey, we're not worse in America, might be
10:54
Speaker 6: the worst in the South. Yeah, texting ain't the South though.
10:57
Speaker 1: Well, James texted it and he said, Miami people make
11:01
Speaker 1: a left hand turn from the farm right lane of
11:02
Speaker 1: a six lane street. Hey, hey, William D. Fitch and
11:06
Speaker 1: Highway six access, turning the left a few times from
11:10
Speaker 1: that outside lane all the way to the inside. Man,
11:13
Speaker 1: I expect it there. It's so bad.
11:16
Speaker 6: Exactly, it's uh, it's I don't know, man, but feel free.
11:19
Speaker 6: Like we said, if we're not the worst, tell us
11:22
Speaker 6: who the worst is.
11:23
Speaker 7: I think to add into all of this too, when
11:25
Speaker 7: you try and base it off of the worst drivers
11:28
Speaker 7: if you are in a college town, it is significantly
11:31
Speaker 7: worse wherever you are in the United States when it
11:33
Speaker 7: comes to drivers in college.
11:36
Speaker 1: Town, especially around graduations or big events, when everyone coming to.
11:39
Speaker 6: Town, they don't know they show up there. I mean
11:42
Speaker 6: because again, even if you even if you lived here
11:44
Speaker 6: at one point in time, you show back up and it's.
11:45
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, they're looking, they're looking at their map quest
11:49
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where to go.
11:50
Speaker 7: Well, no, have you all ever been on George Bush
11:52
Speaker 7: The first three weeks of school when everybody comes from
11:54
Speaker 7: all over the entire country. I'm so slow that you're like,
12:01
Speaker 7: holy cow, get off the road, you're in my way.
12:03
Speaker 7: Or they drive so fast and don't know how to
12:05
Speaker 7: drive they try to almost kill you, or they don't
12:08
Speaker 7: pay attention and hit people on bikes and scooters.
12:10
Speaker 8: They're driving so hard.
12:11
Speaker 6: I'm so I am so paranoid this actually I need
12:14
Speaker 6: to share this video too. Of the scooter situation is
12:18
Speaker 6: becoming slightly untenable. And I don't mean the rental scooters.
12:22
Speaker 6: I mean the fact that every kid under the age
12:25
Speaker 6: of thirteen essentially has one of these two. There was
12:29
Speaker 6: a kid that tried that literally darted across William D.
12:34
Speaker 6: Fitch on one of these scooters, no stop, no nothing,
12:39
Speaker 6: just kept on going and thank god there's nothing there.
12:43
Speaker 6: But I I started sweating when I realized he wasn't
12:47
Speaker 6: going to stop.
12:48
Speaker 1: Darwin was sitting there wringing his hands in anticipation.
12:51
Speaker 6: You have to be like, I don't understand the I
12:53
Speaker 6: don't understand not. The thing that drives me the craziest
12:57
Speaker 6: in town is I don't know. How Ever, anyone relaxes
13:01
Speaker 6: because of the pedestrians, because you have to hear have
13:05
Speaker 6: your head on a swivel because they will just jump
13:09
Speaker 6: out into the middle of the row.
13:12
Speaker 7: So there's this Halloway, you know the house Halloway where
13:16
Speaker 7: it has freshmen house calle Yes, Calloway my brain.
13:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, on George Bush, right across from right across.
13:22
Speaker 8: From Bull Yes, in the track and field rights right
13:25
Speaker 8: there as well.
13:26
Speaker 7: So they call it scooter Alley because a lot of
13:28
Speaker 7: your freshmen that are lived there use the that main
13:32
Speaker 7: way to drive their scooters across. Or also if you're
13:34
Speaker 7: trying to just go over to the other apartment complexes,
13:36
Speaker 7: everything's across that street.
13:37
Speaker 6: That's where they all move.
13:40
Speaker 7: Yes, So my very first year here, I was going
13:44
Speaker 7: into my first year and my master's degree. Everybody warned
13:48
Speaker 7: me before the first week a school started, avoid scooter
13:51
Speaker 7: Alley at all costs to go well, worre scooter Alley.
13:53
Speaker 8: You gotta tell me where it is so I can avoid.
13:55
Speaker 6: It's the entire campus.
13:57
Speaker 7: All of these freshmen get on these scooters and these bikes.
14:00
Speaker 7: The people that are on the bikes are not as bad.
14:03
Speaker 7: It's the people on scooters.
14:04
Speaker 6: Just because you don't and I get I'll tell you this,
14:06
Speaker 6: this is what I've come to understand if they're on scooters,
14:09
Speaker 6: they don't think of them as a vehicle.
14:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, they think that like they're a pedestrians.
14:13
Speaker 6: They think they're just a fast pedestrian and that's not
14:17
Speaker 6: how it works, like you are on a motor vehicle.
14:20
Speaker 6: And and yeah, so and again, I'm they just all day,
14:26
Speaker 6: all the day.
14:26
Speaker 7: Every day, so they just bolt through their left and right. Well,
14:29
Speaker 7: the other problem was is they're hitting people walking on
14:32
Speaker 7: the sidewalk.
14:33
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, they're running over they're running over.
14:35
Speaker 8: The pedestrian as well. The people on scooters.
14:38
Speaker 1: Business the pedestrian new business idea. I'm gonna I'm gonna
14:41
Speaker 1: start building brush guards for scooters.
14:44
Speaker 7: It was just it's unreal because like when we would
14:46
Speaker 7: walk from the track to other places and go work out,
14:48
Speaker 7: you would have to like watch the sidewalk. You have
14:50
Speaker 7: to walk look both ways on the sidewalk to make
14:52
Speaker 7: sure someone on a scooter's not hauling booty towards you.
14:55
Speaker 1: There are so many people pedestrians, scooter riders are wearing
14:58
Speaker 1: headphones now right, so they can't here what's going on.
15:02
Speaker 6: Then ride these with the noise that with the noise canceling.
15:06
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know everyone loves having noise
15:08
Speaker 6: canceling headphones, but you can't.
15:10
Speaker 1: Have those if you're out. Gotta be situationally aware.
15:13
Speaker 6: If you're at your desk or you're studying, I don't
15:15
Speaker 6: care if you are outside period, Yeah, you cannot wear
15:20
Speaker 6: those because, yeah, you have no idea what's coming at you.
15:25
Speaker 1: Wow.
15:26
Speaker 7: I really think scooters in the future need to be
15:28
Speaker 7: banned from some college campuses because of how bad and
15:30
Speaker 7: how many people one get danger in, dangered and get
15:33
Speaker 7: hurt on them, and also many people they've hurt in
15:35
Speaker 7: the process. I had so many teammates on the A
15:38
Speaker 7: and M track and field team that broke legs.
15:43
Speaker 8: Coaches our courses were so close to banning them.
15:48

25:58
Speaker 1: of place?
26:01
Speaker 6: Hashtag Blivia.
26:03
Speaker 1: He also said, Georgia answer the question. So you're wrong
26:06
Speaker 1: on that one might.
26:06
Speaker 6: But you were right on Bolivia. My friend dead. You
26:10
Speaker 6: can't get no riding. Now. We didn't get a chance
26:14
Speaker 6: to discuss this on Friday, but a big moment has
26:21
Speaker 6: happened here in the United States, and that is Chick
26:26
Speaker 6: fil A is no longer on top of the fast
26:30
Speaker 6: food world.
26:31
Speaker 1: What I'm stunned.
26:32
Speaker 6: Chick fil A. And I don't know how long this
26:35
Speaker 6: I'm sure I could look it up. I'm sure someone knows.
26:37
Speaker 6: It has to be a decade or more. Where every
26:40
Speaker 6: single year they were perennially at the top of the
26:44
Speaker 6: pile in terms of satisfaction eleven years, eleven years without
26:48
Speaker 6: an l eleven years.
26:51
Speaker 1: Maybe it was ten. But this is the first time
26:53
Speaker 1: in eleven years that Chick fil A has not held
26:55
Speaker 1: the top spot.
26:56
Speaker 6: They have been conquered by Jersey Mikes.
27:00
Speaker 8: Look, I don't believe that.
27:01
Speaker 6: See this is this is why I'm bringing it up.
27:03
Speaker 6: This is our chance to discuss it, and this includes
27:06
Speaker 6: you guys. Nine seven, nine, six, nine five, sixteen twenty.
27:09
Speaker 6: I believe in my heart of hearts that yes, uh,
27:14
Speaker 6: Jersey Mikes at this point is a better experience than
27:16
Speaker 6: Chick fil A. And we could go into the why,
27:18
Speaker 6: but but you two give me the why not.
27:21
Speaker 1: I'd love the Chick fil A service, and there's nothing
27:25
Speaker 1: wrong with the Jersey Mics at all, but I just
27:29
Speaker 1: don't see it any better right than chickil.
27:32
Speaker 6: Right, right, right, Riley, you just don't believe it.
27:34
Speaker 7: In general, here's my thing, Chick fil A and then
27:38
Speaker 7: at the top for so long, but they have so
27:39
Speaker 7: many different like sauce options that lots of people like.
27:41
Speaker 7: And when I was in college, there was seven or
27:45
Speaker 7: eight chickpil As around every single corner, Like in every
27:47
Speaker 7: single dining hall, there was always Chick fil A options.
27:50
Speaker 8: Even when you go to all these.
27:51
Speaker 6: Chick colleges, they dead. Let's be real, like every college
27:55
Speaker 6: has a Chick fil A. And I will give you
27:57
Speaker 6: this if you if you had to look it up,
27:59
Speaker 6: I would say they probably have the most volume in
28:02
Speaker 6: terms of what they're pumping out exactly.
28:04
Speaker 7: And then on top of all of that, there's not
28:06
Speaker 7: very many Jersey Mics around everywhere, So unless people are
28:09
Speaker 7: truly going out of their way to stop on highways,
28:11
Speaker 7: I guess to get them so many of the restaurant
28:14
Speaker 7: options too.
28:15
Speaker 1: I mean the sandwich ones three thousand each for Chick
28:19
Speaker 1: fil A and and Jersey Mikes.
28:20
Speaker 6: Wait, each they're equivalent. They're like, they're they're.
28:23
Speaker 1: Actually pretty well, they're pretty close. That's not This survey
28:27
Speaker 1: was based on sixteen and sixty four completed surveys. Okay,
28:32
Speaker 1: so it's it's still a pretty small sample size and
28:35
Speaker 1: depending on geographically where that landed.
28:37
Speaker 6: M Oh yeah, okay, so there's a possibility that you
28:40
Speaker 6: just did land in a bunch of people's hands who
28:42
Speaker 6: are just Jersey Mikes fanatics.
28:44
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you were testing this in
28:47
Speaker 1: New Jersey.
28:49
Speaker 8: This is true.
28:50
Speaker 7: And also they said Jersey Mikes does not have a
28:52
Speaker 7: drive food as well, and it's not considered well, this
28:55
Speaker 7: is a Texter Martha said, this not considered fast food.
28:58
Speaker 6: That's that is interesting, Martha, because uh, I don't know
29:02
Speaker 6: if I would. I mean, it's a sandwich shop. It's
29:04
Speaker 6: a sandwich shop.
29:05
Speaker 1: It's a quick service restaurant.
29:07
Speaker 6: It's a quick yeah, exactly, and you I would say
29:10
Speaker 6: you definitely, well, no I can. I might say you
29:12
Speaker 6: definitely get your food faster than Chick fil A, But
29:14
Speaker 6: that's not true. You can be in a line as
29:16
Speaker 6: long as the eye can see, and somehow you can
29:19
Speaker 6: still end up out of a Chick fil A and
29:22
Speaker 6: many shockingly fast amount of time.
29:24
Speaker 1: So Jersey Mike scored eighty four out of one hundred,
29:26
Speaker 1: Chick fil A scored eighty three. I mean it was
29:28
Speaker 1: that close.
29:29
Speaker 6: I mean, that is that is a razor's thin margin.
29:32
Speaker 6: The only reason I would give this credibility is again
29:37
Speaker 6: just because Chick fil A is one and eleven years
29:40
Speaker 6: in a row. How do you go eleven years without
29:43
Speaker 6: even someone creeping up on you? And the service at
29:47
Speaker 6: mics Man, especially that one on Briar Crest. I have
29:50
Speaker 6: gone to that a few times. I've been like, the
29:53
Speaker 6: kids are I would say, definitely Chick fil A quality.
29:56
Speaker 6: But the fact that I have to say Chick fil
29:58
Speaker 6: A quality right tells you everything.
30:00
Speaker 1: They're they're the brand, but prompts the jersey Mike's I
30:03
Speaker 1: mean forgetting it. Yeah, I mean they're going after it right.
30:06
Speaker 6: Have you ever had anyone give you an explanation because
30:10
Speaker 6: I still haven't really heard one from people at Chick
30:13
Speaker 6: fil A about how they find those kids? How do
30:18
Speaker 6: you do it? How do you I mean, I'm sure
30:20
Speaker 6: they're not found, they're grown. You get them in some
30:22
Speaker 6: kind of a training program. But how is it that
30:25
Speaker 6: Chick fil A kids are Chick fil A kids and
30:29
Speaker 6: you can't find that?
30:30
Speaker 1: Almost at this point, there is a particular a young
30:35
Speaker 1: worker that wants to work at Chick fil A because
30:38
Speaker 1: of the way that.
30:38
Speaker 6: You think that they aspire to aspire in.
30:41
Speaker 1: That environment and with those people, with those co workers
30:45
Speaker 1: that do the good things that they do.
30:47
Speaker 8: Also they pay well, Yeah, they do pay well.
30:49
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, man, yeah, one day we will. I
30:53
Speaker 6: need to get confirmation from that someone I've asked before.
30:55
Speaker 6: Managers They're like, oh, no, we're just really good. I
30:57
Speaker 6: know what is your secret.
30:58
Speaker 1: There's a there's a doctor an a going on here,
31:00
Speaker 1: because you can tell like a decade down the road. Yeah,
