I do want to start with one little piece of helpful information, and that is it's pretty foggy in certain areas. So be careful while you're driving this morning. That's I noticed that in a couple spots. Other than that, I felt like I passed two people. That was it today. Where is everyone?

SPEAKER_00 0:14

What's happening? 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? And one of them that I've seen a lot recently is to not just blast through an intersection. 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. 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. Well, actually, I was come I was coming to the intersection. Somebody was already sitting there. Yeah. And it turned green. Well, luckily, they didn't go. For some reason, they didn't, but uh semi passed through because they're about to get on the highway. You know, they're coming down from watching. They were so red. Like as red as my lips. Wow. So red. 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? Right. Just can't wait to be with you guys. Oh no, yeah, right. And and then and and they would have completely been decimated.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

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. They probably have it right, but it's like, I'm so used to New York driving. It's like, green! Oh my god, let's go. Yes. And uh and but it it's interesting because I've lived in other parts of the country. And specifically when I lived more in the southern part of the country, I noticed that. I was like, uh, are we gonna do this, people? I think they're just moseying down south. I think you might be right, Adam.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

I don't think that's a safety feature. I just I I never heard what you said. I was always that person that always was go, go, go, go, go. And now, after reading this so many times on TikTok, I now.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

Well, really, did the pit deal with it? That's what will make you change. Oh, probably. If the pit dealt with it and they literally used that as a plot line, like, well, they didn't wait three seconds afterwards. I feel that would change that would change your world. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Who is it? 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. She works with animals.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

Just isn't. It just isn't. Just isn't.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

So me and the girlfriend who's a nurse, I don't know how it came up, but it always comes up. And I said something about the pit, and we both were like, oh my gosh, it's so good.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

From what I hear, it's incredibly accurate. Well, with the exception of the fact, how many times have you ever gone to an emergency department? And I hate saying emergency department, the ED. Yeah, it's erectile dysfunction. Right. I I rarely go to the erectile dysfunction department. 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? And you'll be like, uh, cyclospore. And uh you know what I mean. But in the pit, what happens? Somebody wheels in, and and this is what kills me. It's just like home improvement shows. Within an hour, the property brothers have you a million-dollar house. If I'm doing the renovations, it's taking me 12 weeks. If it's the pit, you go in, there's 12 doctors working on you. It is like this. They swarm you.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

That is inaccurate on the show. See, you got to watch the show. That is grossly inaccurate. They they detail how long people are waiting. They've had people die in the waiting room. Well, that's a long way. They've had people who uh you know uh, oh, this one guy got so mad. I don't want to tell you too much, but this one guy got so mad for waiting so long, he assaulted a nurse.

SPEAKER_01 4:02

So yes, yes. Well, not uncommon. I mean, it does happen. People get bitter.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

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? Yes, exactly. But no, people are waiting. Like they'll even say, Oh, they've been waiting since first shift, and now we're on third shift or whatever.

unknown 4:23

Right.

SPEAKER_00 4:24

Until they kill over and got a headache.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

Um, but you know what I mean though. 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.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

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.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

No kidding.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

I know, I thought that was just a real pit the one that's real.

SPEAKER_01 4:50

Yeah, not the pit on TV.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

Uh oh, well, yes, it is.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

It's wait, he works he's an actor or he's actually working in a real pit.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

No, no, no. So see, you gotta watch the show. I'm so confused in what you're saying. The pit is the emergency room in Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_01 5:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

So, and they call it the pit because it's like kind of like the armpit of the hospital as well. Um, so that's where he works. He works Oh, in that pit.

SPEAKER_01 5:15

But not but not the pit that Noah Wiley's pitting. Well, it's the pit. He's not an actor. Got it.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

He's a real nurse in the realm.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Yes. Not the T V pit. Yes. Even though the T V pit is modeled after the real pit.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

I think I got it now.

SPEAKER_00 5:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

I did have something else I was gonna say about the uh uh traffic light thing, but I feel we move past that. I'll come back to that in a minute.

SPEAKER_00 5:39

Well, because it's foggy, just be careful the traffic lights. Definitely.
